Hearing this, Li Youyou didn't care: "My brother saved up a lot of money for me before, enough for me to eat every day!"
Yao Tongjia almost laughed when she heard this, just then she heard Li Chenyi's footsteps coming out. Yao Tongjia had a mischievous idea: "Mr. Li, did you hear what your sister said? What do you think?"
Before Li Chenyi could speak, Li Youyou interjected, "Whatever your thoughts are, he already said it's my money, I can decide!"
Yao Tongjia now genuinely sympathized with Li Chenyi: "Does that include supporting your man and your family?"
Li Chenyi pretended not to hear and left. He really should reflect on whether his parenting style towards his sister was correct. In fact, he didn't know how to raise his sister; he just raised her according to the habits of people from Hong Kong.
Looking at the difference between Li Youyou and Yao Tongjia now, you can tell that he has spoiled his younger sister. Now he just hopes that by staying by Yao Tongjia's side, she can learn even a little bit from her.
Otherwise, he would probably follow in his mother's footsteps in the future. Thinking of his mother, Li Chenyi's anger intensified. He took a deep breath to suppress it.
This isn't the port city; he can't unleash the darkness in his heart here. He tries to calm himself down and move on.
Seeing Yao Tongjia leave with her younger sister, he sighed. He had wanted to talk to her, but she had run off without even saying goodbye!
Li Chenyi had no choice but to return to the courtyard house. Before he could even figure things out, a bodyguard came to report: "Sir, a man surnamed Ruan is here to see you!"
Li Chenyi was momentarily stunned. He didn't know anyone with the surname Ruan. He went out with his bodyguard to take a look and realized that the man seemed somewhat familiar.
However, he soon spotted the jeep and the numbers on its license plate, indicating that it was a military vehicle, and one owned by a high-ranking person.
Ruan Shengpeng brought four people with him on this trip. One of them was in the car, while the other three were currently surrounding Ruan Shengpeng, watching their surroundings warily.
They had the air of someone who would make anyone who dared to launch a sneak attack never return. These men were all skilled soldiers, and Ruan Shengpeng himself was also an excellent soldier.
Although he is getting on in years, he still insists on exercising, and with his authority as a leader, these people are really hard to ignore!
Li Chenyi stood two meters away from Ruan Shengpeng, not moving: "May I ask who you are? What do you want with me?"
Ruan Shengpeng laughed heartily: "I'm Yao Tongxu's father!" Seeing that Li Chenyi was still confused, Ruan Shengpeng changed his name to his daughter: "I'm Yao Tongjia's father, the one who gave you acupuncture just now!"
Li Chenyi's mind went blank for a moment, and he asked unconsciously, "Your surname is Ruan?"
Ruan Shengpeng nodded: "Yes, my surname is Ruan, but I am also the father of Yao Tongjia and her brother. Don't worry, we are blood relatives, not stepfathers!"
Ruan Shengpeng's words made Li Chenyi blush a little. He explained, "My sister and I both have our mother's surname, so it's a bit sensitive!"
Ruan Shengpeng nodded: "I understand! My surname is rejected by the children because I have been absent from their lives for more than ten years."
"My wife has been taking care of them for the past ten years or so, so it doesn't matter if they take my wife's surname. I completely agree with it!"
Li Chenyi glanced at Ruan Shengpeng and found that his words and expressions were perfectly in sync. He admired Ruan Shengpeng for being such an upright person.
He gestured for them to come in, and Ruan Shengpeng led them inside. Once in the hall, the two sat on opposite sides, and soon a servant brought tea.
Ruan Shengpeng picked up a glass of water and took a sip: "I came over after seeing Tongtong leave. I'm here today because of my son and your sister's matter!"
Li Chenyi looked at Ruan Shengpeng with some surprise. Ruan Shengpeng laughed and said, "My son called me last night after meeting your sister. I'm so happy!"
"This is the first time he's opened up to me, so I have to make things easier for him. This morning I went to the high-ranking official's office and told him about my son and your sister!"
Li Chenyi's eyes widened even more. This was just two young people having a relationship, why did they have to tell the chief? What if it broke up?
Seeing Li Chenyi's question, Ruan Shengpeng said, "When people around here start dating, they're all aiming for marriage. Since they confirmed their relationship last night, I assumed your sister would become my daughter-in-law."
"I must clear away any potential obstacles for them. I know the situation in your port city; here, we don't tolerate irresponsibility!"
"The obstacle between them is your business in Hong Kong. However, I've spoken with the Chief Minister, and he said that if we make good use of your connections, we can bring some benefits to the country. I just don't know if you're willing to do it?"
Li Chenyi, a businessman, leaned back to find a comfortable position: "I won't ask what I'm supposed to do first. I'll ask what the benefits would be if I did it."
Ruan Shengpeng adjusted his posture and, instead of answering, asked, "Do you see any business opportunities here?"
Li Chenyi's eyes flickered. He certainly wouldn't say directly that he saw endless business opportunities, otherwise he would be at a disadvantage.
Ruan Shengpeng didn't need his answer: "You see endless business opportunities, you know this is where you can accumulate capital, and you really want to invest here!"
Ruan Shengpeng's affirmative words made Li Chenyi's pupils shrink, but he neither agreed nor disagreed.
Ruan Shengpeng continued, "As long as you are willing to cooperate, under the same conditions, you will be given priority when you invest! I also have my own selfish reasons. I heard that you have a lot of servants for your sister here."
"My son probably can't afford to pay so many people's salaries. You earn more, and you can pay for these servants yourself!"
Li Chenyi's lips twitched. This man looked so righteous, how could he say such a grand thing as letting his son live off a woman?
No wonder you could raise someone like Yao Tongjia. He wondered, "If you wanted to talk to me about this, why didn't you come a few minutes earlier? Your daughter just treated me and had several acupuncture sessions!"
Ruan Shengpeng shook his head: "I don't want to involve Tongtong in our affairs. If you think it's okay, we can continue talking. If not, I'll leave!"
Li Chenyi couldn't help but want to facepalm. He glanced at the three men behind Ruan Shengpeng who were on high alert, and then at the man in front of him who was sitting in a similar posture to himself.
I blurted out what was on my mind: "You're a leader, how come you seem to act in a style similar to that of a gangster like me?"
Ruan Shengpeng laughed heartily: "There's no way around it. I've been a gangster for over ten years, and I've developed the habit of treating people differently depending on who they are!"
Li Chenyi: "..." Are you implying that I'm a gangster, which is why you became a gangster?
