Luo Yutong dared not reveal the truth. As her father looked at her with furrowed brows, the unease in his eyes deepened as well.
"Dad, can you please stop pressuring me? I'll give you an explanation after he leaves, okay?"
“Silly child, your mother and I just want you to be happy. Besides, I’ve already spoken with Owen’s father, and this wasn’t your fault. But this is his first time visiting us, so we should treat him well, both out of courtesy and reason.”
Luo Bozhong had no good feelings towards his former son-in-law. If he hadn't been worried that the other party might actually be cooperating with Shan Jinxi, he wouldn't have made this special trip.
When Luo Yutong looked at Shan Jinxi again, she met his excessively cold and sinister eyes. She was so frightened that she immediately looked away, and the unease in her heart became even stronger at this moment.
"Dad, do you think Shan Jinxi will come after us?"
Don't overthink it.
Luo Bozhong also looked over at Shan Jinxi at this moment, but the other party maintained the original posture, so he could not see anything wrong.
He patted his daughter's shoulder reassuringly and said earnestly, "Yutong, no matter how powerful Shan Jinxi is, he's still a human being. Dad doesn't deny his abilities, but in this city, he doesn't have the power to control everything."
“But his relationship with Nangong Yi is very unusual now, and with what happened in this bidding, I’m worried that the two of them might really join forces against us. Moreover, I’ve heard about Shan Jinxi’s ruthlessness. Look at the fate of those three from the Su family, it was definitely orchestrated by him.”
Luo Yutong's worries were not unfounded; she believed her father must have sensed it as well.
Otherwise, how could Nangong Yi have given up this land bidding, allowing such a good opportunity to fall into the hands of the Su Group?
"Dad, is Aunt Zhong really not going to take responsibility for this?"
Luo Yutong's last hope was Zhong Yajing, but it seemed like the other party was deliberately avoiding them and stopped answering their calls.
Luo Bozhong shook his head helplessly; this was what he was truly worried about.
"Alright, we're just here to pick you up. Don't worry about anything unimportant."
"good."
Luo Yutong nodded, and at that moment she carefully hid behind her father.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that Shan Jinxi was staring at her.
"Oh, right."
Suddenly, Luo Bozhong remembered something, frowned, and looked at his daughter, asking, "Yutong, you said that someone close to Owen told you he was coming here, but why didn't they tell you the specific flight information?"
“Dad, I already told you that I have nothing to do with Owen anymore, but he hasn’t given up on me. I’m bringing you here with me because I want to talk things out with him.”
Luo Yutong made up a reason on the spot. After saying this, she looked up at the big screen in front of her guiltily and pretended to be looking at the flight information carefully.
Luo Bozhong knew she was hiding something, and since she refused to tell him, he could only have a proper talk with Clyde Owen later.
"Dad, he's here."
Luo Yutong spotted Clyde Owen in the crowd ahead at a glance.
His height of nearly 190 centimeters, his natural dark brown hair, and his excessively fair skin made him stand out in the crowd.
