Seeing that the people around her were about to be fooled, Li Rongrong's eyes became sharp. She responded without flinching, "Aunt, do you think that man's family is really that good? If it is really that good, wouldn't my cousin be able to marry into their family and enjoy a good life?"
"I'm afraid you all know that his son is uneducated and spends his days in debauchery. Is this what you call a good marriage?"
Her words were powerful and directly revealed the true situation of the man's family, causing everyone present to fall into silence.
The image of a loving elder that the aunt had just put on was almost broken by the direct rebuke. She calmed herself down and said with a smile, "Rongrong, we are afraid that you will regret it. Aren't you back now?"
Just when Li Rongrong was about to continue her speech, she heard the sound of special leather shoes stepping on the ground from behind her. People with eyes had already seen Li Moyuan and made way for him.
His face was as cold as an iceberg, making people shudder. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, as if he could freeze everything.
He glanced at the group of aunts and uncles and said coldly, "Shut up! Rongrong's affairs are our own family affairs. It has nothing to do with you so-called "elders". If I hear you talking nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude!"
His voice was not loud, but every word he spoke carried unquestionable majesty and dominance, which shocked people.
When all the relatives heard this, they were so frightened that they fell silent and dared not say another word.
They knew that Li Moyuan was not someone to be trifled with, and that their monthly dividends would be paid through him.
...
...
If anyone dares not to obey him, the consequences will be disastrous.
Just at this moment, Yu Shengsi, wearing an expensive and elegant evening gown, came down from upstairs holding Li Si's hand. At a glance, she saw the relatives gathered together and her daughter who was alone and could only be bullied.
He immediately flew into a rage, and spoke without mercy, "Well, I was wondering why there was so much noise when I first came out. I didn't expect that you were taking advantage of your seniority to bully my daughter!"
Li Yu had a gloomy face and asked the butler to send the guests away. "Some people at the dinner tonight have offended my daughter. I don't want to see you now."
Several relatives looked at each other and were driven out by the security guards in shame.
The other guests secretly sighed in their hearts, how could they almost forget that Miss Li was the person whom the Li family should not mess with the most.
This pre-Chinese New Year banquet was not a family banquet. It was similar to a company annual meeting, and everyone who had worked with the Li family before would come to attend.
One is to discuss business, and the other is to maintain the communication and appearance among the nobles.
Except for a few brainless people, everyone at the party was sober. They started talking to each other, as if the incident just now was not worth mentioning at all.
It was not until the end of the banquet that Li Rongrong took a deep breath and walked towards her parents who were sitting in the seat of honor.
All that came to my mind was the quarrel with my father before, where neither of them was willing to give in.
"Mom, Dad, Brother, I'm back."
There was a hint of joy of reunion after a long separation and a hint of barely perceptible nervousness in his tone.
Li Si looked up at her and responded, "Go change your clothes first. There are some dishes left in the kitchen."
The long-standing confrontation between father and daughter was eased for the first time
Yu Shengsi and Li Moyuan looked at each other and were a step slow to respond.
"That's right. We didn't eat anything at the dinner. I asked Aunt Wang to prepare another one in the kitchen. We can have a good family gathering later." Yu Shengsi said, pulling Li Rongrong to look left and right. "She has lost a lot of weight."
"Come on, let's go upstairs and change our clothes. This dress is not comfortable to wear for dinner."
When the two changed their clothes and went downstairs, they saw the Li father and son already sitting at the table, each of them reading a document.
Seeing them come out, the two of them put away their work in unison.
Yu Shengsi raised her head, her eyes gently swept over the few people, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, her eyes were full of satisfaction. She pulled her daughter to sit down and kept picking food for her: "Rongrong, eat more of this, it's good for your health."
Li Rongrong looked at the food in her bowl that was getting higher and higher, and said helplessly, "Mom, I'll do it myself, you should eat quickly too!"
As she spoke, she gently pushed her mother's hand. However, her mother did not stop her movements and continued to put all kinds of delicious food into her bowl.
The big brother sitting opposite her kept picking up food for her, and a rare doting smile appeared on the face of the cold and domineering boss.
"Sister, eat more, these are your favorite foods."
The father sitting next to them was like a silent mountain, watching their interaction quietly.
It was already very late after dinner. Li Rongrong had no plan to return to the scenic area. She went straight back to her room and lay down.
Not long after, there was a slight knock on the door.
After hearing the sound, Li Rongrong stood up, walked to the door and opened it.
The person outside the door was the family's nanny, Aunt Wang. She was holding a tray filled with all kinds of exquisite snacks and desserts.
Aunt Wang looked at her awkwardly, thinking to herself: Who would send me cakes before going to bed?
But then I thought that this was the master's order, so I didn't say much.
She asked cautiously, "The eldest young master asked me to bring up some cakes for you to taste. May I ask, young lady, should these cakes be placed in the room?"
When Li Rongrong heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.
The eldest brother is always like this. Whenever she is in a bad mood or angry, he will use delicious pastries to cheer her up.
Even now that they have grown up, the eldest brother still has not changed this habit.
I have to say, Big Brother is sometimes really a straight man!
High-calorie pastries, are you really not afraid of her getting fat?
No wonder the eldest brother has never had a girlfriend for so many years. I don’t know which little white beauty can take away this domineering eldest brother.
Although she was complaining in her heart, she still nodded and said, "Auntie Wang, thank you for your hard work. Just give me the cakes."
Place the cakes on the table and gently close the door to ensure that no one can see what is going on inside.
Then she slowly took out a palm-sized mirror from her bag.
Next to the mirror, there was a neatly folded piece of paper lying quietly, which seemed to be a message from Fusu.
Li Rongrong opened the paper without hesitation and quickly scanned the words on it.
As usual, Fusu asked her if she had eaten, what she was doing, and reported her daily life. Every word was full of concern and longing, making people unable to help but curl up their lips.
However, when she saw the last paragraph, her brows furrowed slightly.
Fusu briefly described on paper an incident that happened today - he rescued a woman from a foreign tribe.
It was just a few words, but Li Rongrong could feel a strange emotion rising in her heart.
Isn’t this the kind of plot that often appears in audiobooks and novels?
Some story about a husband who had fought for many years outside and returned home with a girl. Some story about him saving her and she falling in love with him, and him becoming her salvation... and so on.
Shaking her head and suppressing the confusion in her heart, she searched through all the drawers in the room for a long time before finding paper and pen to write back.
