Seeing his confident expression, the group of people who had been joking paused.
Taking advantage of Li Zhiqi's slight intoxication, one of them seized the opportunity to ask, "The Wen family has always been a man of his word. Since he publicly announced the cancellation of the cooperation with the Li family, why is he going back on his word now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the private room fell silent. Everyone stared at Li Zhiqi, waiting for his answer.
Li Zhiqi's face was flushed at this moment, and he laughed loudly without thinking: "That's because the relationship between our Li family and the Wen family is not ordinary."
Is their relationship unusual?
Upon hearing this, the man suddenly remembered the engagement between Li Ruo and Wen Changfeng, and couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Could it be that your two families are about to have a happy event?"
Li Zhiqi smiled without saying a word, but the answer was already quite obvious.
Seeing this, the people around him quickly stood up and stepped forward to toast Li Zhiqi, saying, "Your Li family is really amazing. Now that you've climbed up to the Wen family, you're bound to achieve great things in the future. When you become successful, don't forget us!"
Although the Li family is considered a wealthy and influential family, under Li Daocheng's leadership, it has been steadily declining every year.
The so-called upper-class circles have always valued wealth in their friendships.
In recent years, Li Zhiqi has only managed to secure a place among this group of people thanks to the marriage between Li Ruo and Wen Changfeng.
But he had never been complimented like this before, and his sense of accomplishment instantly reached its peak.
He immediately adopted a leader's demeanor, waving to the crowd and saying, "Don't worry, don't worry, I definitely won't forget you all. When the time comes, you'll all be living the high life with me!"
As he spoke, he took the wine in front of him one by one and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing how easy-going he was, the others couldn't help but start teasing him again: "Young Master Li has such a high alcohol tolerance and is about to rise to prominence. He must drink with us brothers tonight!"
Soon, Li Zhiqi was so charmed by these people that he lost his bearings and drank several bottles of wine in a row.
When he came out of the private room, he was dizzy and unsteady on his feet.
However, just as he was drunkenly walking towards the door, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a graceful figure.
Driven by the effects of alcohol, Li Zhiqi rushed forward without thinking and stopped the other party.
"Hey beautiful, are you alone? Want me to keep you company?"
At this moment, Fu Zhiqing was extremely annoyed. It was supposed to be a simple rendezvous, but the other party had chosen this particular place.
She frowned, and just as she was about to make a phone call, a man reeking of alcohol suddenly appeared in front of her.
Hearing his flippant tone, her face darkened: "Get out!"
But Li Zhiqi was already somewhat delirious at this point. Hearing Fu Zhiqing's sharp tone, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he grabbed her hand and said with a lewd look, "Beautiful lady, don't be in such a hurry to leave. The price is negotiable. I can afford any price."
As he spoke, he leaned forward, about to kiss the woman's red lips.
"What...what are you going to do?"
Fu Zhiqing was quite frightened by his action and retreated repeatedly.
However, because Li Zhiqi was holding her wrist tightly, she couldn't break free at all.
Damn it!
Fu Zhiqing cursed under her breath and said angrily, "Hey, you better look carefully. I am Fu Zhiqing, the eldest daughter of the Fu family, not one of those bar girls you're talking about. If you dare to touch me, I will make you pay a terrible price!"
Normally, Li Zhiqi would have cowered at these words!
But by this time he was drunk and couldn't distinguish right from wrong at all. He only wanted to force himself on her: "Beautiful lady, I won't treat you badly, so please don't refuse me anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed Fu Zhiqing against the wall and then pressed his entire body against her.
"No...no!"
Just as their lips were about to touch, Fu Zhiqing closed her eyes in fear.
However, at the critical moment, Li Zhiqi was suddenly torn apart by a tremendous force and then thrown out violently.
"Miss, are you alright?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Fu Zhiqing cautiously opened her eyes.
The moment she saw the man, her expression changed: "Look at the kind of place you've chosen! If you'd been any later, could you have taken responsibility?"
Stared at by her cold gaze, the man lowered his head slightly and said, "I'm sorry."
"snort!"
Fu Zhiqing snorted coldly, quickly straightened her clothes, then shifted her gaze to Li Zhiqi, who was unable to get up from the ground, and said fiercely, "This reckless bastard, teach him a lesson!"
"Yes, Miss."
Upon hearing this, the man's expression remained unchanged. He took a few steps to stand in front of Li Zhiqi, and then his fist, as big as a sandbag, slammed down.
Poor Li Zhiqi was already dizzy from the force of the fall, and now he was curled up on the ground like a pile of mud, without even the strength to resist.
"That bastard is asking for it. Find out who he is. He dared to lay a hand on me. I'll ruin his reputation."
Seeing this, Fu Zhiqing was still not appeased. Instead, she crossed her arms and whispered.
The man stopped what he was doing and immediately replied, "Miss, this person is Li Zhiqi, the eldest son of the Li family."
