Upon hearing Meng Yu's voice, Mr. Li snorted coldly, looked away from him, and then turned to Jiang Si, asking softly, "Xiao Si, are you alright? Were you bullied by any strangers?"
The woman next to Meng Yu frowned and looked at Mr. Li, saying, "Mr. Li, I used to admire you as an elder, but now I realize that my father's dislike for you is not just because of competition. Why speak of a junior like that?"
Mr. Li snorted coldly: "Since you know I am an elder, it is not your place to lecture me, is it? Besides, when the Meng family rises to power by stepping on you, will Miss Gao still be as happy as she is today?"
Because they were classmates and friends, Mr. Jiang hadn't even bothered to check on her recent situation. After all, he had absolute trust in the daughter his friend had raised, and he knew nothing about Wan Ge's situation, let alone Meng Yu and Gao Ruoyue.
Just listening to their conversation, Mr. Jiang sensed that there must be a story behind it, which explained the strange atmosphere among the four young people.
"Xiao Si, who are they?" Mr. Jiang didn't like the two people just by looking at them.
Mr. Li seemed to only then realize that Mr. Jiang and the others were still there, and that he should maintain his composure.
Seeing Meng Yu and remembering how he and his daughter had been childhood sweethearts for many years, yet he only had feelings of using her, she felt a surge of anger and her words inevitably went too far.
Of course, he himself did not think it was too much. It is normal for a father not to be so calm when it comes to things related to his daughter.
Mr. Li wanted to explain to Mr. Jiang, but Jiang Si spoke up first: "Dad, this is Mr. Meng Yu, Wan Ge's ex-fiancé. They were about to get engaged, but Wan Ge found evidence that he intended to climb over the family to get ahead."
Upon hearing this, everyone frowned, with the strongest reaction coming from Meng Yu, the protagonist they were referring to.
Meng Yu's face immediately turned ashen: "I didn't, it's all a misunderstanding."
At this point, he quickly turned his gaze to Gao Ruoyue and nervously explained to her, "I didn't do that, Yueyue, don't listen to their nonsense."
Although she didn't know what Gao Ruoyue was really thinking, she still smiled and slowly said, "Of course I believe you. Never mind them, Ayu, let's go eat."
Meng Yu knew she was saving face and that she was looking for an excuse to leave the awkward situation, so he nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Seeing this, Madam Li spoke up: "Let's not stand here like idiots, let's go."
…
As they were leaving, Mr. Jiang sent a message to his subordinates, his purpose being to find out what had happened between them.
Before getting out of the car, Mr. Li received a reply that explained exactly how Meng Yu wanted to use the Li family, and then exposed him directly at the engagement banquet, causing the relationship between the two families to break down.
Then, not long after, Jiang Si got together with Wan Ge.
That's all Mr. Jiang has received for now.
Since they wanted to use the Li family to rise to power, they dared to scheme. Fortunately, Wan Ge wasn't blinded by their schemes, or she would have been deceived.
Even without the filter of his daughter-in-law, Mr. Jiang believes he still thinks the same way and will still stand on his friend's side.
