Li Zhenting waited for a long time but didn't see Shen Ning coming. He turned his head and couldn't help laughing.
The woman was standing there hesitantly, wanting to come but not daring to. Did she really need him to invite her?
It happened that Li Wanqing was welcoming a wealthy lady and was exchanging pleasantries with her. There were no other guests coming at the moment, so Li Zhenting walked towards Shen Ning.
“Chen Ning, what are you doing standing here?”
"Oh, Mr. Li, there are still some flower baskets that haven't been put up there. Let me take a look." Shen Ning said immediately, then turned around and was about to slip away.
"Stop." Li Zhenting grabbed her and said, "Butler Luo has already left. It's none of your business. Come with me to the gate to welcome the guests."
"That's not good." Shen Ning forced a smile. "I think Shen Mei is more suitable than me. She's just sitting in the living room with nothing to do. Go call her."
"No, it has to be you." Li Zhenting said firmly with a stern face.
"But I..." Shen Ning was in a dilemma. She didn't want to stand there with him to greet guests. It would attract too much attention.
"What do you mean by 'but'? I told you a long time ago, hurry up, guests are coming, don't be rude." Li Zhenting grabbed her arm and dragged her towards the door.
Shen Ning had no choice but to follow him passively.
"I'm telling you, welcome the guests well and behave well, otherwise I won't let you go tonight." Shen Ning had just been pulled by Li Zhenting to stand at the door. When she was still feeling uneasy, Li Zhenting's dirty hand fell on her waist and rubbed it, and he threatened her viciously in her ear.
Shen Ning's face flushed all the way to her ears.
She glared at him.
The corners of Li Zhenting's lips curled up.
Just then, a Bentley RV drove over and a security guard immediately came forward to direct it to park.
The smile on Li Zhenting's lips disappeared, and a layer of frost covered his face, making his expression frighteningly cold.
Shen Ning's heart also started beating.
She knew who the car belonged to at a glance.
Unexpectedly, Jing Chenxi is here too!
After a while, Jing Chenxi, dressed in a suit and tie, and as gentle as jade, was seen striding towards this side.
Li Zhenting unconsciously retracted his arm that was on Shen Ning's waist, and her whole body was almost pressed against Li Zhenting's chest.
Jing Chenxi's eyes darkened as he looked towards them.
"Hello, uncle and aunt." He walked over and greeted Li Jinyao and his wife politely.
"Hello, Chen Xi. You're such a handsome man." Li Wanqing looked at him with a smile. "Is your grandfather in good health?"
"Fortunately, he said he would come to celebrate the old man's birthday." Jing Chenxi chatted with Li Jinyao and his wife with a smile for a few words before turning around and walking towards Li Zhenting and Shen Ning.
"Hello, Mr. Li." He took the initiative to extend his hand towards Li Zhenting.
At that time, Li Zhenting had one hand around Shen Ning's waist, and they were very close. When Jing Chenxi reached out his hand to him, he did not let go of the hand around Shen Ning's waist, but shook hands with him casually with his left hand.
"Mr. Jing, welcome."
Jing Chenxi smiled and looked at Shen Ning.
"Ningning, thank you for taking me home last night."
Shen Ning looked at him.
He was obviously thinner. Although he was as gentle and elegant as usual, his face was much thinner, his chin was pointed, and he looked a little haggard.
"It's okay, it's what I should do." Shen Ning wanted to shake off Li Zhenting's hand, but when she tried, he held it tightly and she couldn't move at all. She could only smile at Jing Chenxi and said with concern, "Drinking like that is very dangerous. Don't drink it in the future."
"Okay, I will listen to you." Jing Chenxi smiled slightly, said something meaningful, then turned and walked inside.
Li Zhenting's eyes narrowed, and he unconsciously used a little force on his hand that fell on Shen Ning's waist.
Shen Ning felt a pain in her waist. At this time, a guest came and she took the opportunity to shake off his hand.
