"Could she have someone backing her up?"
He frowned and murmured to himself.
What was said unintentionally may have been taken to heart by the listener.
Sun Lanxin, who was standing to the side, jumped up in surprise, fearing that he would become suspicious and investigate Li Ruo. She quickly stepped forward to take the blame and said confidently, "You're overthinking it. That girl doesn't even like Changfeng, so how could she possibly have the ability to climb up to someone else? Why don't you leave this to me? I guarantee that she will come back obediently and admit her mistake."
Upon hearing this, Li Daocheng was somewhat puzzled: "Even I can't control her, what can you do?"
Sun Lan chuckled lightly, but a hint of malice flashed in her lowered eyes: "Master, you still don't understand the mind of girls these days. If you force her like this, she will naturally not listen. It would be better to let me go and persuade her properly. As long as I explain the pros and cons of the matter clearly, I believe she will understand."
"That's right, then you should have a good talk with her."
Li Daocheng naturally wouldn't doubt her; in fact, he didn't want things to get so tense with Li Ruo.
After all, Wen Changfeng values her highly now, and if she really marries into the family in the future, the Li family will still need to rely on her.
Therefore, bringing people back safely is the most important thing!
Just by looking at his expression, Sun Lan knew what he was up to.
It's a pity that the position of the young mistress of the Wen family can only belong to her daughter!
As for Li Ruo... it would be better if she never came back.
Having made up her mind, Sun Lan dialed a series of phone numbers as soon as she stepped out the door.
After a few beeps, a young female voice came from the other end of the receiver: "Mrs. Li."
Have you thought about what I said the other day?
Sun Lan's expression remained unchanged, but her tone revealed a hint of impatience.
Upon hearing this, the other person paused, then said in a panic, "I...I dare not, this is illegal, if people find out, I will go to jail."
"Add another 500,000. By the way, I remember you recently brought your son over from your hometown, right?"
Upon hearing the rejection, Sun Lan was not in a hurry at all. Instead, she curled her lips and her tone inexplicably carried a hint of coldness.
The other party immediately became agitated: "What do you want to do?"
“What can I do? It’s all for your own good. Can your meager salary as a nurse support your son? A million is enough to give your son a good upbringing.”
Silently listening to her words, the other person remained silent for a long time. After a few minutes, they hesitantly asked, "Are you sure you only need me to drug that woman?"
Sun Lan chuckled lightly: "Of course, three times... just three times, and a million will be deposited into your account. Isn't that a good deal?"
"Okay, but I need you to transfer 500,000 to me."
"make a deal!"
...
The hospital quickly finalized the treatment plan, and if all goes well, the surgery can be performed in a week.
Upon hearing this news, Li Ruo finally felt relieved after being on edge for the past few days.
But before she could relax for long, Jiang Luo's illness relapsed, this time more serious, with her heart stopping several times.
Li Ruo was almost scared to death. She stayed at the hospital all night until Jiang Luo's condition stabilized, and then dragged her tired body to the company to ask for leave.
But this time, the minister called her directly into his office.
"Xiao Li, it's not that I'm unwilling to approve it, it's just that you've been taking leave far too frequently this month."
The man first waved his hand dismissively, then said sarcastically, "I really don't know how you can be so busy. I don't think even President Wen is as busy as you. I'm really curious what you're doing taking so many days off. Are you trying to snag a rich husband, or are you trying to develop your side business, or are you trying to avoid some work because you're not capable enough?"
Upon hearing the minister's words, Li Ruo's face suddenly darkened.
She had already clearly stated her reason for requesting leave, but the other party insisted on making malicious assumptions.
What a brilliant idea to snag a rich husband...
In the past, Li Ruo would definitely have argued her case based on reason.
But now that he needed her help, he could only suppress his anger. She took a deep breath and explained gently, "Minister, my leave this time is not for personal reasons, but because my adoptive mother is ill..."
She humbled herself greatly, hoping to gain understanding, but the minister only smiled contemptuously: "I thought you had something serious to do, but it turns out it's just this little thing. You may have to take care of someone, but you don't need to neglect your work. Besides, she's just an adoptive mother. If she dies, she dies. What's the big deal? You're not her biological child. There's no need for you to go to such lengths to take care of her."
In her second life, the person Li Ruo cares about most is Jiang Luochu.
If the minister had only reprimanded her, she could have tolerated it. But the minister's biggest mistake was mentioning Jiang Luo.
Her face suddenly turned cold: "Say that again?"
Li Ruo was always obedient and docile in front of the minister, and this was the first time she had ever lost her temper like this.
The minister paused, then his face darkened: "Am I wrong? She was always..."
"You're absolutely right!"
But before he could finish speaking, Li Ruo suddenly sneered: "I can understand. People like you, who have children but no one to raise them, naturally can't understand the feelings of those of us who have mothers."
