Chapter 91 Rejection
Luo Tingwei, of course, had no idea what he was thinking.
Li Yanzhou always spoke very little when he came, exuding an aura of irritability and murderous intent. He would get straight to the point, starting with a kiss, but he kissed her fiercely, making her feel like she wasn't being treated gently.
She naturally felt that she was just a plaything to be used for venting.
I don't know how long this will last.
She thought sadly.
Every midnight, she would sometimes resign herself to her fate, and at other times hate him intensely.
If things continue like this, the guilt she feels will eventually fade away and turn into resentment towards him.
Seeing her incredibly sorrowful expression, no longer her usual numbness, Li Yanzhou couldn't help but step forward and hug her.
Why are you looking like that?
However, since she was still in the punishment period, he didn't hug her too intimately, just a brief hug.
"What's wrong with me? Are you done? If you're done, then leave."
"Are you kicking me out?"
"How could I dare? But isn't that the only reason you came here?"
Luo Tingwei spoke frankly, her tone neither warm nor cold.
He was speechless, unsure whether she was right or wrong, so he ordered her, "Are you going to be so stubborn again? Say a few nice things to me, and I'll stay and keep you company a little longer."
Luo Tingwei forced a smile, but it sent a chill down his spine. "What do you want to hear?"
"Why don't you teach me? You say a sentence, and I'll repeat it."
She resigned herself to her fate.
Li Yanzhou's good mood was ruined by her once again.
The man suddenly stood up and said coldly, "I was planning to let you out in a few days, but I didn't expect you to still be so stubborn and haven't learned your lesson. So you can stay here. You can leave when you put your claws away."
After saying that, he went out.
Luo Tingwei heard the familiar sound of a lock being put on outside, closed her eyes, and felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Li Yanzhou walked out with a gloomy face.
Suddenly I felt like I had been abandoned by the world.
The old man had just finished picking a fight with him and then came over to scold him, putting on airs like a father. Luo Tingwei also disliked him and always had a gloomy face, deliberately trying to contradict him.
She was clearly in the wrong before, so where did she get the courage to give him attitude?
Li Yanzhou smashed a cup in anger.
Just then, a servant came to report, "Young master, someone has arrived and requests to see you."
The man didn't even look up, and asked impatiently, "Who?"
Seeing that he was angry, the servant cautiously said, "That man said his name is Huo Zhizhou."
Upon hearing this name, Li Yanzhou finally lifted his eyelids.
Huo Zhizhou?
Aside from Luo Tingwei being between them, he and this man had never had any contact. What was he doing here?
Li Yanzhou thought for a moment, then turned around and sat down on the sofa, composing himself. "Let him in."
Huo Zhizhou entered with an assistant and several gifts; he didn't come empty-handed.
"Mr. Li, how have you been?"
When Huo Zhizhou saw him, he was the first to extend his hand to him, with a polite smile on his face.
Li Yanzhou shook hands with him reluctantly, ordered tea to be served, but his words were ruthless.
"I don't think my relationship with Mr. Huo is close enough that you would have to come to visit me in person. Mr. Huo's sudden appearance here is quite unexpected."
"Mr. Li, you flatter me. My personal visit is a sign of my sincerity and a matter of proper courtesy."
Huo Zhizhou smiled slightly, and without wasting words, glanced around before getting straight to the point, "President Li, where is Weiwei? I haven't been able to contact her for a long time. She's with you. I've come all this way today, so you should at least let me see this younger sister."
He wasn't stupid; he knew a little about the kind of life Luo Tingwei was living here.
Li Yanzhou seemed unconcerned, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, she's not available to see anyone right now."
"inconvenient?"
Huo Zhizhou was stunned. "What's wrong with her?"
Li Yanzhou didn't want to say anything too harsh, so he said lightly, "She just had a miscarriage a few days ago and is still recovering, so it's naturally inconvenient for her."
Huo Zhizhou's expression changed slightly, his eyes darkened, and his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed his words.
The man composed himself, and after a few seconds continued.
"I came here for two reasons."
"First, I want to confirm whether Weiwei is doing well. After all, I was the one who entrusted her to you in the first place. If she is not doing well, I will naturally be the first to bear the blame. Second, there is the Huo family's centennial ancestral worship ceremony in a month. I have discussed it with the uncles and elders in the family. Weiwei needs to represent my aunt's branch of the family to attend. This ancestral worship ceremony is a major event for the Huo family clan. I believe President Li will not object, right?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yanzhou slowly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then put it down.
She then looked up, glanced at the man in front of her, and said in a casual tone, "She's busy."
He will never let her go again.
Huo Zhizhou hadn't expected Li Yanzhou to refuse so decisively, and he felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't immediately turn hostile, so he patiently smiled apologetically.
"President Li, the family memorial service will only last three days. By then, Weiwei will have recovered enough to attend."
"As I said, she's busy. If there's nothing else, Mr. Huo, please leave."
Li Yanzhou stood up, effectively dismissing him.
Seeing his lack of tact, Huo Zhizhou could no longer tolerate it and directly broke off all pretense, shouting at his retreating figure.
"Li Yanzhou, she's by your side, not sold to you. What gives you the right to make decisions for her?"
Li Yanzhou paused, turned around, and sneered, "Because she's in my hands now."
Huo Zhizhou clenched his fist involuntarily. "Li, I've heard about what happened that day. If you had any moral compass at all, you would have let her go. There are all kinds of women in this world, why did you have to go after your own sister? Don't you feel disgusted?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yanzhou's eyes flashed with a cold light as he stared directly at the man opposite him, causing him to freeze for a moment.
"Since you know that, you should understand even more clearly that she has nothing to do with your Huo family. So tell me, what reason do you have to take her away?"
Li Yanzhou did not intend to explain further to him.
"you……"
Huo Zhizhou was caught off guard by this move and was thrown into a state of panic.
This is outrageous! This is utterly unreasonable!
He finally realized that his trip today had been a complete waste of time.
"Li Yanzhou, if you have any conscience at all, tell her that I've been here, and that the Huo family's uncles and elders miss her very much and hope she can go back for the family memorial next month!"
Huo Zhizhou left after saying those words.
The commotion the two made was quite loud, and several servants curiously looked over.
A maid named Qingqiao had always sympathized with Luo Tingwei. Knowing that she was in a bad situation and was locked in the iron room in the attic all day, she couldn't help but speak up to comfort her when she went to deliver her food that day.
"Miss Luo, please don't be so stubborn."
