Jiang Ruoyi felt very nervous at this moment because Lin Yu had reminded her before not to anger her father, otherwise her heart disease would relapse.
Jiang Tianming seized the opportunity to grab her hand and said weakly, "Daughter, daughter! I beg you, I have no choice. Lord Xu sent someone to tell you that if you don't keep the appointment, the Xu family will punish us. Our business is already not good. If we are punished by the Xu family, your old father will really not be able to survive!"
Jiang Ruoyi bit her lip, extremely unwilling, "Dad, it's not that I don't want to go, but that Li Zhiyuan, he's not a good person at all!"
"Oh, my daughter! It's just a meeting, it's not like I'm asking you to do anything with him. Please, I'm begging you!" Jiang Tianming deliberately put on a pained expression and kept pleading.
Seeing that his daughter remained silent, he immediately started yelling again, "Ouch! It hurts so much!"
"Alright! I promise you, okay?"
Jiang Ruoyi was speechless. She could tell that her father was just faking it.
However, upon closer reflection, she realized that Li Zhiyuan was incredibly powerful. If she didn't go to the appointment and offended him, he might take his anger out on her father, and could even retaliate against the Jiang family company.
What would she do if her father were to suffer any harm because of this?
Thinking of this, she had no choice but to reluctantly agree, "Alright, Dad, I promise you, okay?"
"Daughter, you agreed?" Jiang Tianming sat up abruptly.
Jiang Ruoyi said coldly, "I agree to let you see him, but let me tell you beforehand! Don't expect to climb the social ladder through me and get married into the Li family. Even if I, Jiang Ruoyi, never marry, I would never be with someone like him!"
After saying this, Jiang Ruoyi, with tears in her eyes, turned around and walked upstairs.
That night, Jiang Ruoyi tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
I hope tomorrow comes later.
However, the sun still rose as expected the next day.
Around 9 a.m., Jiang Ruoyi drove to the meeting place.
As fate would have it, it was Li Xianren's Longsheng Restaurant.
Jiang Ruoyi lingered in front of the restaurant for a long time.
Although she had agreed to her father's request, she really didn't want to go in.
Sun Xiaolei's shadow is still vivid in my mind; this Li Zhiyuan is no different.
The incident involving Tan Qingqing and her sister shows that the other party is a ruthless person. If the other party insists on harassing you, what should you do?
After thinking it over, she took out her phone and sent Lin Yu a WeChat message.
She first recounted how Jiang Tianming had forced her to go on a date.
Then he sent another message, "Brother Lin, this Li Zhiyuan is very powerful and has his eye on me. I... I don't know what to do. How about... you come pick me up from the restaurant later?"
Whoosh!
After sending the voice message, Jiang Ruoyi waited quietly for Lin Yu's reply.
In her view, Brother Lin was also very influential; even the military and the police had to defer to him. If he was willing to help her, she could definitely get rid of Li Zhiyuan's entanglement.
However, after waiting for a long time, Lin Yu still did not reply.
Jiang Ruoyi glanced at the time, shook her head helplessly, took a deep breath, and walked towards the restaurant.
Meanwhile, Lin Yu finished his work in the kitchen and returned to his bedroom before seeing the WeChat message. A glint flashed in his eyes as he listened to Jiang Ruoyi's voice message.
He had a deep impression of Li Zhiyuan, who had driven Tan Qingqing and her sister to desperation some time ago.
When the treasure appraisal program started airing, they even sent assassins to kill Tan Qingqing.
Although the death left no one to prove it, Lin Yu was quite certain that it was most likely sent by Li Zhiyuan.
This Li Zhiyuan is definitely worse than Sun Xiaolei!
Jiang Ruoyi going on a date with him is like a lamb entering a tiger's den.
No, he has to go!
Thinking of this, Lin Yu quickly put on his coat and went out.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ruoyi had already entered the restaurant.
"Miss Jiang!"
A handsome man dressed in fine clothes stood up and waved to him with a smile.
Jiang Ruoyi paused for a moment, then bit her lip and walked over.
"Miss Jiang, hello, I am Li Zhiyuan!" Li Zhiyuan smiled and extended his hand.
"Hello!" Jiang Ruoyi said coldly without extending her hand.
No matter how courteous the other party may appear, they are nothing more than a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Li Zhiyuan awkwardly withdrew his hand, but he wasn't annoyed. Instead, he took the initiative to walk over and pull out a chair for Jiang Ruoyi.
The two took their seats.
"Waiter!"
Li Zhiyuan snapped his fingers, and a waiter came over to deliver the menu.
"Miss Jiang, this restaurant's private kitchen dishes are among the best in Guanzhong. Take a look and see if there's anything to your liking!" Li Zhiyuan said, handing the menu to Jiang Ruoyi.
Jiang Ruoyi quickly waved her hand, "No need, I'm not very hungry, you can order your own!"
She didn't plan to stay long, so naturally she didn't want to order anything.
Li Zhiyuan didn't seem to mind and said with a smile, "How about this, I'll recommend a few to you, why don't you give them a try?"
Afterwards, Li Zhiyuan said a few names of dishes in fluent English and asked the waiter to prepare them. Then he smiled and looked at Jiang Ruoyi.
"Ms. Jiang, actually, the main reason we invited you here today is to apologize to you on behalf of our Chamber of Commerce!"
Li Zhiyuan sighed and said apologetically, "That Sun Xiaolei is simply a scoundrel! However, our Chamber of Commerce has already expelled the entire Sun family! I hope this matter won't affect your opinion of our Hongluan Chamber of Commerce!"
Jiang Ruoyi pursed her lips and said, "It's all in the past, I don't want to bring it up again. It was all Sun Xiaolei's fault, and I didn't blame your chamber of commerce!"
