"Everyone! Please be quiet!" Li Churan stood up and looked around.
"I know everyone has many opinions about today's banquet. But I must say here today that this is the best banquet we could prepare for everyone."
"I know that you were all high-ranking officials in the past, eating delicacies and drinking fine wine."
“The current situation in City A is extremely serious. As you all saw on the way here, the entire city of City A is now covered in snow. Nothing grows in the city, and agriculture, animal husbandry, and industry have all come to a complete standstill.” Li Churan looked around.
"Currently, our daily necessities, apart from those transported from H country, are all salvaged from the old city sites."
These words caused a great deal of discussion and unease among the crowd.
"We are currently facing a severe shortage of supplies. The daily distribution of supplies is based on individual contributions, so we hope everyone can bear with it."
What Li Churan meant by this was that they wouldn't receive much preferential treatment.
Upon hearing this, Wang Sicong's face turned extremely ugly. He was the one who led the group here in the first place, and Li Churan's words were a direct slap in his face.
However, he was a cunning old fox after all, and he quickly adjusted himself.
"Of course, of course, when in Rome, do as the Romans do! Everyone understands, Chu Ran, don't worry!"
"I knew my father-in-law would understand." Li Churan raised his glass. It was impossible for him to support this group of people for free.
He had his own plans for accepting them.
After Wang Si smoothed things over, the people around him realized what was happening and started to agree, since they were now under someone else's roof.
"Dean Wang is absolutely right!"
"Yes, yes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do!"
Next, the atmosphere at the banquet began to become harmonious.
The group chatted and laughed, and for a moment, it seemed as if they had returned to that peaceful era of elegant attire and glamorous people.
Only they themselves know what wicked schemes they're plotting.
After we finished eating, it was already 10 p.m.
Li Churan, as the protagonist, made an excuse to leave around 9 o'clock.
The rest of the people were accommodated by Li Churan's subordinates.
Wang Sicong naturally lived in the most luxurious place, in a suite on the top floor of the former office building.
Wang Si's associates also benefited, and he was assigned to the same floor, which was relatively small.
"Dean Wang, this will be your living quarters from now on." Fang Yan opened the door to the room.
Fang Yan was the person Li Churan had taken to H country before, and also the person Li Churan trusted the most.
Wang Sicong walked in with his hands behind his back, looking around at the furnishings.
The two-meter-long European-style bed, the clean carpet on the floor, and the tastefully furnished interior all showed that it had been specially arranged.
Wang Sicong nodded in satisfaction, and his unease and resentment lessened considerably.
"Then Dean Wang, you should rest first. We won't disturb you any longer!" Fang Yan said as he left.
As soon as Fang Yan closed the door, Wang Siyuan couldn't wait to grab Wang Sicong's sleeve and start complaining.
"Dad! You have no idea how much I've suffered lately!"
"What happened to Chu Ran?" Wang Sicong asked quickly.
"Chu Ran hasn't stepped into our daughter's room for months," Wang Siyuan complained, but remained silent about the stupid things she had done.
"He hasn't come into your room for several months? Has he found another woman?" Wang Si's heart sank.
“He hasn’t looked for other women, but he’s run into an old flame. That slut is obviously a vixen! Dad! Why don’t you send someone to tear her mouth apart for me?” Wang Siyuan was furious at the thought of Lin Mengru.
"And Chu Ran! This time you have to help me teach him a good lesson! You can't let him bully your precious daughter again!" Wang Siyuan became more and more agitated as she spoke.
"Foolish!" Wang Si Cong finally lost his temper.
"I'm asking you, what stupid thing did you do!" Wang Sicong knew his precious daughter's habits all too well. Li Churan wouldn't suddenly stop coming home for no reason; it must be that Siyuan did something.
"I! I didn't do anything!" Wang Siyuan said guiltily. "What did I do wrong? I didn't do anything at all!"
"You still won't tell the truth in front of me?" Wang Sicong's tone suddenly became stern.
"This is not my fault at all! If Chu Ran hadn't refused to touch me, I wouldn't have been bewitched by that person."
"I made a mistake because I was too lonely, but I've already apologized to Chu Ran! But he won't forgive me!" Wang Siyuan said innocently.
Wang Sicong covered his forehead with his hand, "My God, how stupid can you be? How could you get caught in bed with someone else?"
"Dad, how did you know that Chu Ran caught me in bed with someone else?" Wang Siyuan asked with a look of surprise.
"Is there even a question?" Wang Sicong looked at his innocent daughter and felt like strangling her.
"Dad, I know I was wrong! I'll never do it again!" Wang Siyuan pleaded tearfully.
"What's the use of begging me now?" Wang Sicong was truly exasperated; how could someone be so foolish!
"By the way! You said Chu Ran never touched you, is that true?" Wang Sicong pressed.
"That's right!" Wang Siyuan nodded somewhat awkwardly.
"Why didn't you tell me about something so important sooner!" Wang Sicong was at a loss for words.
"I didn't dare to say it because I was afraid he would be angry with me. I thought everything would be fine after I came to City A and spent time alone with him. It's all that bitch's fault. If it weren't for her, how could Chu Ran be so cold to me?" Wang Siyuan was still trying to make excuses for Li Chu Ran.
"Dad! He hasn't touched me since we got married. You have to help me!" Wang Siyuan knelt on the ground, pleading incessantly. She had no other choice but to pin her hopes on her father.
If she could, she really didn't want to tell Wang Sicong about this shameful thing, but she had no other choice.
She desperately wanted Li Churan.
Wang Sicong's heart was now half-broken. She had thought she could use Li Churan to make a comeback, but who knew that Li Churan and Siyuan's marriage was just a sham.
But this disappointing daughter has no sense of crisis at all; her mind is full of love and romance.
How could he have given birth to such a daughter?
