After that day, Li Ruo had a high fever for three consecutive days, and no one in her family cared about her.
If she hadn't been incredibly lucky, she might have died sometime that night.
Now, Sun Lan tells her, is it tolerance and understanding?
Li Ruo let out a long sigh, "I can't do it. My mother taught me from a young age not to cause trouble but not to be afraid of trouble. I am the victim, why should I wrong myself?"
Li Ruo's words were forceful and resolute, conveying the message that she would not give up until a result was achieved.
Just as Sun Lan was about to say something more, Wen Huaiyan suddenly spoke up from the side.
"So, breaking one's word is the family tradition of the Li family?"
These words instantly amplified the Li family's accusations.
Today's events have escalated from just Li Rao losing face to a problem affecting the entire Li family.
Li Daocheng, who had been hiding in plain sight, now realized the seriousness of the situation.
I recently visited the Wen family's company to discuss a collaboration. The project has been fraught with difficulties, but thanks to his tireless efforts in leading the company day and night, we are now seeing a glimmer of hope for a partnership.
It would be a huge loss if the project were delayed because of today's events!
Li Daocheng hurriedly stepped forward, becoming the head of the household.
He spoke coldly, "Rao Rao, how did your father teach you from a young age? A promise is a promise. Since you just agreed to the bet, you should accept it wholeheartedly!"
Her father, who had always doted on her, actually said such things today, and Li Rao's face turned deathly pale instantly.
Li Ruoke was not surprised by this; she had long known that Li Daocheng was a man who valued multiple interests.
I'm afraid Li Daocheng was terrified the moment Wen Huaiyan opened his mouth.
Then, Li Daocheng looked at Li Ruo with a serious expression.
"Ruoruo, tell me, what do you want?"
Li Ru blinked. "Anything?"
"Of course, as long as Rao Rao has it."
It's alright, she's just a little girl. Even if she asks for an exorbitant amount, it's just some bags and clothes. We can't afford to lose more than we gain.
Unexpectedly, Li Ruo responded.
"I want all the shares under Li Rao's name."
Li Daocheng was taken aback, seemingly unable to believe his ears.
“Father, didn’t you say that Li Rao’s word is her bond? Then let Li Rao take responsibility for the boast she made. I want all the shares in her name.”
Upon hearing this, Li Rao, who had just calmed down a little, went berserk again.
She waved her hands wildly, trying to tear Li Ruo's face off.
She actually managed to paddle across such a close distance.
A slight pain shot through her cheek, and Li Ruo instinctively took a step back.
A noticeable red mark appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face.
Wen Huaiyan stared at him, a hint of anger rising in his eyes.
Now, he has come to regard Li Ruo as his own, and naturally intends to protect her.
Li Daocheng, a cunning old fox, instantly sensed Wen Huaiyan's displeasure.
"Smack!"
A crisp sound rang out, and Li Daocheng turned to look at Li Rao, angrily reprimanding her.
"What have you learned from what I taught you since you were little? Since you said it yourself, you should obediently do as I say!"
The sudden pain made Li Rao dizzy. By the time she came to her senses, her cheeks were as hard as mountains, and she even felt a tingling, itchy pain.
Large tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
"You hit me because of this bitch."
"Sir, this is your daughter! How could you hit her!" Sun Lan protected Li Rao with heartache.
“Rao Rao has done something like this, so she should be punished. It’s because you’ve spoiled her too much that she’s done so many wrong things!”
As he spoke, Li Daocheng's gaze kept glancing at Wen Huaiyan's expression, seemingly casually.
Seeing that Huaiyan's anger did not escalate further, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Today's farce has gone on long enough, and Li Ruo looks a little tired.
She curled her lips into a smile and turned to look at Wen Huaiyan to the side.
“Mr. Wen,” Li Ruo’s voice was light and airy, with a hint of pitifulness, “I’m a little tired, shall we leave first?”
Wen Huaiyan glanced at her indifferently, then got up and left without saying a word.
Li Ruo left a message saying that she would take some time to go home and sign the share transfer agreement the next day, and then got up and left as well.
On the way back, the heavy rain continued to fall.
The atmosphere inside the car was quiet and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.
Li Ruo glanced cautiously at the person beside her.
From the moment he boarded the bus, Wen Huaiyan had not uttered a single word.
He even exuded a chilling aura.
Having been Wen Huaiyan's kept woman for so many years, Li Ruo naturally knew that he was angry.
So Li Ruo spoke cautiously.
"Thank you so much for your help tonight, Mr. Wen."
The woman's voice carried a hint of cautious flattery, with a slight tremor at the end, sounding like she was being coquettish.
Wen Huaiyan remained expressionless, only giving her a very cold look.
Li Ruo shrank her neck and obediently shut her mouth.
She knew that Wen Huaiyan needed to be alone for a while, so she obediently kept quiet.
Li Ruo turned her gaze to the window.
The rain today is really heavy, with a reckless, ruthless feel to it, whipping the world into pieces.
