Upon hearing this, Li Ruo couldn't help but chuckle.
"You little rascal!"
Seemingly realizing that she was doing it on purpose, Jiang Luo stopped pretending and shook her head helplessly: "Let's go home!"
go home……
The moment those words were uttered, Li Ruo's heart stirred, and her eyes softened instantly: "Okay, let's go home."
By the time the group had finished packing, it was nearly noon.
Li Ruo was about to leave with Jiang Luochu's arm in hers when a group of tall men appeared in front of them.
These people were dressed in uniform and were well-trained; they were clearly bodyguards for someone.
Recognizing that the person in the lead was one of Li Daocheng's men, Li Ru frowned subconsciously and said with some displeasure, "What is Li Daocheng planning to do now?"
Seeing that Li Ruo had recognized him, the head bodyguard whispered, "Miss, the master wants you to go back and specifically sent us to pick you up."
"catch?"
Hearing this, Li Ruo couldn't help but snort coldly: "When has he ever taken me home? Every time it was by coercion and bribery."
If that's the case, why be so hypocritical every time? It's better to just get straight to the point and save each other's time.
Hearing her sarcasm, the head bodyguard said helplessly, "Then please do us a favor, Miss, and don't make things difficult for us, and also for your own convenience."
Unexpectedly, Li Daocheng was so bold as to force Li Ruo to return at the hospital entrance. Jiang Ze's face turned cold, and he immediately stepped forward, trying to shield the man behind him.
Jiang Luo looked at Li Ruo with a worried expression, his face unusually cold: "You should leave now. Ruo Ruo won't go back with you, or don't blame us for being impolite."
Upon hearing this, the leading bodyguard's face turned cold, and he glared at Jiang Luo.
Noticing his gaze, Li Ruo was startled: "I'll go back with you."
Although she did not want to do as Li Daocheng wished, she also did not want to implicate Jiang Luochu and the other person.
After all, the matter of drugging her hadn't been resolved yet, and she really didn't want to gamble with the lives of two people.
Upon hearing this, the bodyguards lowered their guard and hurriedly made way for her: "Miss, please."
Seeing this, Jiang Luochu became even more worried. She frowned and grabbed Li Ruo, saying, "Ruo Ruo, don't go with them. Li Daocheng never comes to you with anything good. He probably wants to cause you trouble again."
"Yes, you should stay with us; it'll be safer that way."
Li Ruo knew they meant well, but since Li Daocheng had sent people to find her so eagerly, he probably wouldn't give up easily.
Rather than letting things escalate later, it's better to settle things peacefully beforehand and avoid hurting both sides.
Moreover, she could go back and see what progress Li Rao and Wen Changfeng were making.
Thinking of this, she smiled and shook her head at Jiang Luo, comforting her, "Mom, don't worry, I'll be fine."
After saying that, she turned to Jiang Ze and said, "Brother, please take care of Lyon for now."
At this moment, she wore a gentle smile, but the determination in her eyes was undeniable.
The moment he met her eyes, Jiang Ze couldn't bring himself to say the words of advice he had been about to give. He could only sigh helplessly, "If anything happens, remember to call me immediately. Don't make Mom and me worry."
Li Ruo nodded, turned and gave Leon a reassuring look before leaving with the bodyguard.
The car sped along, and it took only half an hour to get back to the Li family home.
Before entering, Li Ruo's expression was solemn, and she had made full mental preparations, ready to face the storm.
But to her surprise, as soon as she entered, Li Daocheng showed her a rare gentleness: "Oh my, our great hero is back. Please come in quickly."
Not knowing what this guy was up to, Li Ruo subconsciously raised an eyebrow, becoming more wary.
But Li Daocheng led her in with a smile all the way, arranged for her to sit in the seat of honor, and personally poured her a cup of tea.
"You must be tired from the journey. Have a cup of tea to relax."
Staring at the steaming cup of tea, Li Ruo was taken aback, and doubts began to rise in her heart.
Did the sun rise in the west today?
Li Daocheng never gave her a kind look before, so why was he being so polite to her today?
Suppressing her curiosity, Li Ruo forced a smile and asked directly, "Stop pretending. What did you call me back for?"
Upon hearing this, Li Daocheng's expression clearly showed some hurt: "Oh dear, look at what you're saying. You're my daughter, isn't it normal for me to let you go back to your own home? Where's the pretense?"
The more he said that, the more uneasy Li Ruo felt, and the uglier her face became: "If you don't tell the truth, I'm leaving. I don't have time to waste here with you."
Hearing that Li Ruo was leaving, Li Daocheng became a little anxious and finally revealed the truth: "I asked you to come back because you did a great job arranging Wen Changfeng's matter. You've done a lot of work for our family."
help?
Li Ruo was taken aback, but not surprised that Li Daocheng knew about this. After all, Li Rao was a woman who could never keep a secret. It would be strange if she didn't report such a big thing when she came back.
But how can it be said that she did a great favor?
After all, her scheming had offended Wen Changfeng, and it seemed that the Wen family and the Li family had completely broken ties.
It's already a miracle that Li Daocheng isn't causing me trouble since he knows about this, so why does he look so happy?
Could it be that this matter brought him some other benefit?
Thinking of this, Li Ruo rolled her eyes and tentatively asked, "You asked me to come back just to praise me?"
