Chapter 58 Jiang Ru
"Rong Ting has made you spend money again," Li Wenbo looked at the Duan inkstone in his hand. It has a hard texture and a warm touch, as smooth as jade. The finely carved inkstone exudes an antique atmosphere that makes people love it.
"Rong Ting, this is very expensive, right?" Li's mother asked, remembering the bracelet he gave her last time. Her friend estimated its value at at least 10 million yuan. She was so scared that she took it off immediately and never wore it again.
"It's not expensive, as long as uncle likes it." Zhan Rongting took a sip of tea and looked at Li Mo next to her. She didn't say anything, but sat there quietly, peaceful and elegant, just like a young lady.
Zhan Rongting's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes behind the lenses darkened. He wanted to tear away her elegance and nobleness and turn her into a bad boy like him.
"Aunt, I came here today to talk to Li Mo, Zhan Rongting said sincerely.
Li's mother was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, you have to say it."
She thought for a moment, pointed upstairs, and said, "Why don't you go upstairs and talk."
"Momo, go quickly and have a good chat with Rong Ting," Li's mother urged.
Li Mo stood up and led the way in front. Zhan Rongting stood up, greeted Li's father and mother, and followed behind.
Li Mo pushed open the bedroom door, and Zhan Rongting closed the door behind her. He held her shoulders with both hands and turned her around, letting her lean against the door. He clasped the back of her head with a strong and powerful hand, pressing her so that she could not resist. While she was stunned and forgot to struggle, he grabbed her hand and hooked it around his neck, then quickly kissed her lips, deftly pried open her teeth, and kissed her deeply, passionately and lingeringly. His hands rested on her slender waist, and gradually he was no longer satisfied with just that. His kisses became more and more passionate, and he began to kiss her chin, her neck, and her collarbone.
"Wait," Li Mo held his hand, her eyes full of pleading, "My parents are still downstairs."
Zhan Rongting had two buttons undone on his black shirt. Under his short black hair, on his high nose bridge were gold-rimmed glasses, and his eyes hidden under the lenses were deep and unfathomable. He is gentle and ascetic, yet exudes a sense of distance that goes against the secular world.
He lowered his head and touched her nose with his. Their breaths intertwined, and he whispered, "You must accompany me on the birthday of the old lady of the Fu family."
Li Mo was slightly stunned. It was Old Madam Fu's birthday and all the major families were present that day. Asking her to accompany him meant officially announcing to the public that they were together.
Is Zhan Rongting sure he wants to be with her? But why, after proposing marriage last time, apart from occasionally coming to give gifts, he never mentioned engagement again? She always thought that he was just looking down on her and playing with her.
"Why, you don't want to?" Zhan Rongting saw that she was reluctant to speak and thought she was unwilling.
"No, I didn't expect that you would be willing to take me there," Li Mo explained softly.
"If not you, who else should I take? Have I ever had anyone else?"
Li Mo was slightly stunned after hearing this, and after thinking about it, it seemed that there were indeed no rumors about the woman except for the rumors that he was cruel, hypocritical, and cunning.
Zhan Rongting let her go and turned to look around her room. The furnishings in the whole room were simple and clear, the table was dust-free, the mattress was flat and new, the air was filled with a peaceful atmosphere, and there was a gorgeous oil painting hanging on the wall, with delicate lines outlining an elegant landscape. The floor was covered with a thick blue carpet, which was soft and comfortable to walk on. In her room, every item is placed just right, exuding tranquility and harmony.
Zhan Rongting touched her head and said with a smile, "What a good girl."
Li Mo looked at him, wondering whether he was praising her or mocking her.
Zhan Rongting pinched her face, smiled and said, "I'm leaving." After thinking for a moment, he whispered in her ear, "You can come to me anytime when you have time. I miss your enthusiasm that night."
Li Mo touched her itchy ear and her face turned red. She felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
When Zhan Rongting looked at her, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and there was a cunning light in his eyes. There was a bit of unruly in that smirk, which made people want to escape but couldn't help being attracted. Li Mo looked at him in a daze. She had never seen a boy like this, who was so blatantly bad.
Li Mo watched him leave, and then returned to the house. Li's mother hurriedly asked, "What did he come here for today?"
"He wants me to go with him to celebrate Madam Fu's birthday," Li Mo said truthfully.
Li's mother was a little surprised that he would go to such an occasion. Madam Fu had her birthday party and invited several prominent families. Family like the Li family was not qualified to go, and they could not afford to invite the Zhan family. But why did Zhan Rongting want to go?
Li's mother suddenly clapped her hands and said, "I know, he wants to take this opportunity to tell everyone that you two are together. I told you that he must like you since he gave you so many gifts. There may be other reasons for not mentioning engagement."
Li Mo nodded. Since that was the case, she would not worry about it anymore and just let everything take its course.

"Doctor, doctor, please, save my daughter first," a woman in ordinary clothes and with a haggard face knelt in front of the doctor and begged, her eyes full of tears.
Wu Bin looked at her in embarrassment and said, "Sister, you have to pay the fee first before we can perform surgery on your daughter."
The woman lowered her head, looking embarrassed. She had brought her child from the countryside, and her money was stolen on the way to the hospital. Now she had no money at all. She knelt down and begged the doctor in front of her: "I beg you, doctor, my child has had stomach pain for a long time, can you perform surgery on her first? Give me some time, I will definitely pay every penny."
Wu Bin felt sorry for her, but the hospital also had its own rules and regulations. He felt his pockets and realized that he was poor too. He wished he was a rich second-generation. He looked at the elder sister in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, elder sister. I really can't do the surgery if you don't pay me."
Suddenly he looked up and saw Chen Di, the eldest son of the rich family, walking towards him in a surgical gown. He hurried over and said, "Help, Mr. Chen. Let me make it short. A 14-year-old girl has had stomach pain for a week. The initial diagnosis is appendicitis. She needs surgery...
"How much does it cost?" Chen Di interrupted him and asked directly.
Wu Bin was stunned for a moment, "30,000, the excess will be refunded and the shortfall will be supplemented."
"Go prepare for the surgery and tell them that all the expenses will be on me." Chen Di moved his shoulders. He had just come off the operating table.
Wu Bin looked at Chen Di and really wanted to kiss him. He was so handsome. Wu Bin patted his shoulder and said, "Man, a real man."
After saying that, he ran over and said to the nurse, "Hurry up, prepare for surgery."
"Jiang Ru, the guardian of Jiang Wuyou, please sign." The nurse came over with the consent form for surgery and asked the sister to sign it.
Before Jiang Ru recovered from her surprise, she heard someone calling her name and raised her hand, "I am Jiang Ru."
Chen Di, who was about to leave, turned back in disbelief after hearing this and looked at the haggard woman's back, "Sister Jiang"?
