Thinking of this, Li Ruo's expression turned slightly cold, and she quickly turned off her phone.
Since she has no intention of going back anyway, she might as well go all the way!
Time flies, and soon it was the next day.
Early in the morning, before Old Master Wen arrived, Li Ruo was called down by Li Daocheng.
Li Ruo was still a little impatient, but after going downstairs, she found that the entire Li family was present.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Daocheng straightened his clothes, cleared his throat, and instructed, "I think everyone knows the status of the Wen family. When Old Master Wen arrives in person, everyone must be on high alert to welcome him. We must not be careless and make any mistakes."
As he spoke, his eyes flashed sharply as he swept his gaze across the crowd. His voice was gloomy: "If anyone has said anything they shouldn't have said or done anything wrong in front of Old Master Wen, or disgraced the Li family, don't blame me for being ruthless later. Did you all hear me?"
Seeing his nervous appearance, a hint of disdain flashed in Li Ruo's eyes, and she naturally had no intention of responding.
Unexpectedly, Li Rao, who always listened to Li Daocheng the most, stood still without reacting, let alone opening her mouth.
Her face looked extremely pale, as if she had suffered some kind of shock.
Noticing Li Rao's unusual behavior, Sun Lan subconsciously nudged her gently to remind her.
Unexpectedly, Li Rao reacted even more strongly, immediately twisting her body to avoid her touch.
When Sun Lan saw her sulking, instead of comforting her as usual, she rolled her eyes and her face darkened.
Watching this scene silently, Li Ruo raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes.
A short while later, Grandpa Wen's car pulled up in front of the door.
Upon seeing this, Li Daocheng quickly led everyone forward to greet them and personally invited them inside.
"It is an honor to have you grace my humble abode with your presence, sir. Please come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the servants who were standing in two rows said in unison, "Welcome, Mr. Wen."
Grandpa Wen was slightly taken aback by the fact that the Li family had prepared such a grand display for him, and he felt visibly uncomfortable.
You know, he came here today to apologize to the Li family as an apology party, so why does it seem like the Li family owes him something?
Thinking of this, he felt even more uncomfortable and politely smiled and gestured to Li Daocheng.
"Mr. Li, please."
This was the first time Li Daocheng had been treated so politely by the Wen family. He instinctively straightened his back, unable to hide the smile on his face.
"Please, please, please go first."
Seeing that Li Daocheng was so sincere, Old Master Wen didn't want to continue arguing and simply went inside.
Li Daocheng gave the others a look and quickly followed them inside.
As soon as Mr. Wen sat down inside, the servants immediately began to serve him fruit, tea, and water.
Even worse, they actually started gently fanning him with a fan.
Seeing how attentive this group of people were, Old Master Wen couldn't help but frown and wave his hand: "President Li is too kind. Such a grand reception makes me feel flattered."
However, Li Daocheng did not understand what Old Master Wen meant. Instead, he said smugly, "It's nothing. Old Master Wen, you are highly respected and admired by thousands wherever you go. It is only right that we do this."
Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, but today Old Master Wen came to apologize and compensate Li Ruo.
This only made him seem even more inept at interpersonal relationships, and Old Master Wen's eyes turned colder: "President Li, time is limited, let's get down to business as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Li Daocheng still wanted to show off in front of Old Master Wen, after all, this was a rare opportunity.
But since they had already put it that way, he had no choice but to agree, saying, "Yes, yes, yes."
As he spoke, he poured Old Master Wen a cup of tea: "Please go ahead."
Seeing this, Old Master Wen wasted no more time and said directly, "That unfilial son Wen Changfeng did such a thing to your second young lady, which is really too much. I also feel very ashamed. But don't worry, since Li Rao is carrying our Wen family's child, I will definitely give her an explanation."
Although he didn't particularly like Li Rao, things had developed to this point, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Hearing Mr. Wen make such a promise in person, Li Daocheng was completely relieved and said with feigned helplessness, "Alas, we don't even know when these two children got together. Even we, as their parents, didn't know. If it weren't for this incident, we would probably still be kept in the dark. Fortunately, Mr. Wen is wise and willing to acknowledge this child."
As he spoke, Li Daocheng raised his teacup and gestured to Old Master Wen, then drank it all in one gulp: "From now on, we are family. Please allow me to offer this cup of tea to Old Master Wen instead of wine."
Seeing this, Old Master Wen was somewhat unwilling to be associated with her like this.
However, since the Wen family was in the wrong first, they had no choice but to swallow their anger and admit it.
"Mr. Li, you're too kind."
