Xu Xinchen's expression was a bit unpleasant. Since she came in, Li Tengbo hadn't looked at her once, except for asking who she was. Wasn't that a bit too impolite? Did he mean he didn't take her seriously at all?
Xu Xinchen was right; Li Tengbo was indeed deliberately keeping Xu Xinchen waiting. Now that the person following behind Xu Xingchen was confirmed to be Chen Ningsheng, Li Tengbo naturally had a guess about her identity.
Who else could be the person who came with Chen Ningsheng to find him at this time, besides the rumored girlfriend? That's why he deliberately ignored Xu Xinchen and didn't talk to her, in order to provoke her.
Unfortunately, what Li Tengbo didn't expect was that Xu Xinchen wasn't someone who got angry easily. Having spent so many years navigating the complexities of the entertainment industry in her previous life, she had long since mastered the skill of not showing her emotions.
She had experienced plenty of Li Tengbo's behavior of deliberately ignoring her in her previous life when she was an extra, so she wouldn't feel embarrassed at all.
"Hello Mr. Li Tengbo, let me introduce myself first. I am Chen Ningsheng's current girlfriend, and my name is Lu Minshi."
Xu Xinchen slowly stepped forward and stood beside Li Tengbo's hospital bed. She introduced herself very politely: "Mr. Li, please don't rush to speak. Let me tell you first. Even if I don't introduce myself, you should know who I am, right?"
Li Tengbo's face darkened, his eyes filled with defensiveness: "Miss Lu, what do you mean by this? What do you mean that even if you don't introduce yourself, I should still know you? Do you think I know just any Tom, Dick, or Harry?"
Chen Ningsheng's face turned cold, and he immediately took a step forward, wanting to speak up for Xu Xinchen, but Xu Xinchen stopped him. She had no intention of letting Chen Ningsheng speak at all: "Don't worry about it. Everything has been settled. Today, I will talk to Mr. Li."
Chen Ningsheng's face darkened. Not wanting to upset Xu Xinchen, he reluctantly took a step back, but still whispered, "If he goes too far later, it won't matter if you stop me. I have to teach him a lesson."
Xu Xinchen turned around with a bright smile and gently patted Chen Ningsheng's hand: "I know. If he goes too far later, I'll call you again, okay? Besides, if he really goes too far, I won't be stupid enough to let him bully me."
Hearing Xu Xinchen say that, Chen Linsheng's expression finally improved. He stood to the side, crossed his arms, and stared coldly at Li Tengbo lying on the hospital bed.
The warning in his eyes was very clear, obviously telling Li Tengbo that he had better watch his words, or he would definitely not be polite.
Li Tengbo's expression was cold, and his gaze towards Chen Ningsheng was like a poisoned knife. Sure enough, he was down on his luck now, because even Chen Ningsheng, a member of the younger generation, dared to look at him with such eyes.
Chen Ningsheng didn't care what Li Tengbo was thinking. After expressing his warning, he stopped talking and quietly stared at Xu Xinchen, ready to help her at any time.
"Mr. Li, you should know why I've come to see you today, right?" Xu Xinchen asked, though her tone was questioning.
She spoke in a huff, but her expression was resolute, as if she was certain that Li Tengbo knew why she had come here to find him.
Li Tengbo gave a cold snort, his voice sounding extremely displeased: "How would I know why you came here to find me? Who do you think you are, that I should have to guess what you're thinking?"
Xu Xinchen wasn't annoyed at all by Li Tengbo's blunt words. Instead, she simply shrugged and smiled.
"So, Mr. Li, you didn't know why I came to see you? I thought your daughter, Ms. Li Xueyan, had already told you about the things that made me very unhappy."
Li Tengbo certainly knew why Xu Xinchen had come to find him, but he didn't want to admit it directly. Instead, he was determined to make things difficult for Xu Xinchen, so he raised his head and glared at her arrogantly.
“My daughter is an adult now. She is free to do whatever she wants. I have no right to control her. So, Ms. Lu, it won’t do any good if you come to me.”
Li Tengbo's original goal was to get Chen Ningsheng and Li Xueyan together, so why would he agree to Xu Xinchen's suggestion? Who knows if Xu Xinchen came here to ask him to persuade Li Xueyan to give up on Chen Ningsheng?
"I wonder if Mr. Li has ever heard the saying, 'It is the father's fault if he raises a child without teaching him.' Miss Li Xueyan is currently doing something despicable and shameless, like stealing someone else's boyfriend. As her father, shouldn't you do something about it?"
Xu Xinchen finally understood why Chen Ningsheng had specifically reminded her that Li Tengbo was not easy to deal with. So that's why. This shameless behavior is just like Li Xueyan's. They really are father and daughter.
"Did what she did harm society? Did it break the law? Did it commit a crime? No, it didn't. As far as I know, Miss, you and Chen Ningsheng are not married yet. Even if you wanted to force a connection to bigamy, you couldn't do it."
Li Tengbo wore a smug smile, as if he was certain that Xu Xinchen couldn't do anything to him: "So what's the use of you telling me this? She hasn't broken any laws or committed any crimes, and it's her freedom to do whatever she wants."
"If my daughter really manages to snatch Chen Ningsheng away, it only proves that my daughter is capable. As for Miss Lu, if you really had your boyfriend stolen by someone else, you'd better look for the reasons within yourself. If you weren't not good enough, how could your boyfriend have been stolen by someone else?"
Xu Xinchen laughed angrily: "Then according to your logic, Mr. Li, your family deserves to be in this situation?"
Li Tengbo's smug smile instantly turned cold, and he glared at Xu Xinchen as if he wanted to beat her to death: "Lu Minshi! What do you mean by that!"
Xu Xinchen's lips curled into a mocking smile. As expected of father and daughter, even Li Tengbo himself knew her background. These two, father and daughter, even had the exact same personality when it came to investigating people.
