Upon hearing this, Gu Yibei's lips curled up. He was delighted to find himself standing in the most important position alongside his young father-in-law.
Whether Lorna's sudden offer was motivated by ulterior motives is unknown, but one thing is certain: if ZN signs with the Lorna Group, Ji Zhinan and the Lorna family will inevitably be in contact.
As long as they remain in contact, the Luo family will always be there, and Li Yuan is destined to be unable to start a new life without distractions.
“Then refuse.” Gu Yibei lowered his head and gently placed a comforting kiss on her forehead: “I’ve already spoken to Elsa. Your husband will pay for it, so don’t worry about losing money. Failure is the mother of success.”
…………
The day after the banquet ended, Li Yuan returned to China.
He arrived at seven or eight in the morning, just as Ji Zhinan had gotten up and gone downstairs to have breakfast.
Gu Yibei looked at his wife, who was sitting in her seat with no makeup, her eyes still a little closed, and she was giving a cute little yawn in a daze. His heart was almost melted by her cuteness.
How can his wife be so adorable?
Just as he pulled the person over and was about to give him a long kiss, before he could even put his mouth to it, he heard a commotion coming from the doorway. Li Yuan was still wearing the suit he wore to the banquet, his expression sharp, his eyes bloodshot, and he was walking menacingly toward Gu Yibei, which terrified Gu Yibei.
"Dad, I haven't kissed you yet!"
Li Yuan gripped Gu Yibei's shoulder tightly, rarely seeing him so out of control.
"Don't you have a doctor friend?!"
"???"
"Are your friend's parents medical doctors?!"
Gu Yibei calmed down and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"
"..." Li Yuan suddenly froze, staring blankly at Gu Yibei's face.
He abruptly withdrew his hand and took a few steps back.
Eddie and Ji Zhinan spoke at the same time: "Dad?"
"uncle?"
Li Yuan's dark eyes flashed, and after a long while, he finally raised his distraught gaze: "I saw her."
Gu Yibei was only confused for a second before he immediately understood the meaning of Li Yuan's words and showed a hint of surprise.
He knew that his father-in-law was not happy to attend any matchmaking banquets, and that going to P country was just to shut up those elders and stop bothering Nan Nan.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ling was there too.
However, Li Yuan's next sentence was even more surprising.
"She doesn't remember me."
Ji Zhinan stared at him in shock.
"No..." Seemingly realizing that what he said was a bit inappropriate, Li Yuan shook his head and changed his words: "The way she looked at me... I should say, it was as if she didn't recognize me."
As he continued speaking, Li Yuan kept smiling bitterly.
I don't know him...
Yes, she spoke to him as if he were a complete stranger.
Gu Yibei held Ji Zhinan's trembling hand; it seemed that things had taken another turn regarding his father-in-law and Xi Luo.
……………
That evening, Gu Yibei invited Qin Yu to have dinner at Villa No. 1.
Hearing Gu Yibei's description, Qin Yu also found it particularly unbelievable.
"Don't you recognize me?"
He subconsciously looked at Li Yuan: "Is it just your imagination?"
Li Yuan shook his head: "I'm sure."
He saw that look in her eyes every day back then, and even after more than 20 years, he still couldn't forget it.
Li Yuan was certain that Luo Ling genuinely didn't recognize him; no matter how good someone's acting was, it couldn't be that good.
"This..." Qin Yu was also confused; this shouldn't be happening.
If Luo Ling is really Xi Luo, she and Li Yuan dated for so long and even had a child together, so it's impossible that she didn't know Li Yuan.
