Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Sun Lan who appeared in front of them.
Upon entering, Sun Lan sensed the cold atmosphere and glanced at the group of people.
Seeing Li Daocheng and Li Ruo arguing so fiercely, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
Like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, she actually hoped they would cause even more trouble.
Although she thought this to herself, she still put on a panicked expression: "I heard something happened at the company, so I rushed over. What are you doing?"
As she spoke, she even pretended to run up to Li Daocheng and whispered, "Tiancheng, even if Ruoruo is wrong, she's just a child. Don't take it to heart. Why get so angry?"
Li Daocheng was already furious, and Sun Lan's words of persuasion made his face even uglier: "What's wrong with her? Don't you see what she's done? She only holds 20% of the shares, yet she's already trying to ride roughshod over me. She doesn't even acknowledge me as her father, so why should I acknowledge her as my daughter!"
Hearing this, Li Ruo couldn't help but find it somewhat laughable. It seemed he had never actually admitted it, had he?
I only think of her occasionally when I need to use her, so why make it sound so high-sounding?
And then there's Sun Lan, who, while seemingly trying to reconcile them, was actually criticizing them in every word she uttered.
Does she really think she can't see it?
However, Li Ruo did not refute, but simply crossed her arms and quietly watched the two sing in unison.
Sun Lan, of course, had no idea what she was thinking. She continued to complain to Li Daocheng in the manner of a loving mother, "Say less. We're all family, blood is thicker than water. What can't we get over? We can talk things out. Why make it so public? Isn't it embarrassing enough?"
As she spoke, she glanced in Li Ruo's direction, clearly indicating that her words were meant for Li Ruo's ears.
But Li Ruo pretended not to hear and absentmindedly played with her hair.
However, Li Daocheng was enraged by these words and couldn't help but explode: "Am I the one who made this big of a scene? It was clearly her..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sun Lan tugged at his sleeve and whispered in his ear, "There are so many people watching outside, that's enough."
After all, this is a family matter of the Li family, and we can't let the people in the company use it as gossip after dinner.
Li Daocheng always valued his own reputation and the Li family's honor, so he naturally understood this principle.
Although he was still angry, he glanced at the faint crowd gathering outside the door and finally suppressed his emotions, letting out a heavy snort before turning away.
Having finally persuaded Li Daocheng, Sun Lan breathed a sigh of relief. She then turned her gaze to Li Ruo and said earnestly, "Ruo Ruo, it's not that I'm being nosy, but taking over the company is a big deal. It can't be resolved in a few days. The handover procedures are complicated, and it needs to be announced to the public and meetings need to be held. It's not as simple as you think, so don't rush. Take it one step at a time."
This statement seems reasonable and is aimed at resolving the issue.
But Li Ruo knew Sun Lan's character too well, so she naturally didn't believe her. She raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Vice President Sun really knows how to plan. Back when you were demanding shares in the company and forcing my mother out of power, you were decisive and a woman of your word. Why didn't you say to take it one step at a time back then?"
You know, Sun Lan's methods back then were a hundred times more ruthless than hers. How dare she come here today to persuade her? She clearly has ill intentions!
Sun Lan was stunned when she saw Li Ruo being so brazen, even going so far as to reveal the shameful secrets of the Li family from back then. Her expression suddenly turned cold as she came to her senses.
"you!"
Just as she was about to reveal her true colors, she suddenly remembered something, and her eyes flashed as she looked at Li Daocheng with a pitiful expression.
After all, she had been pretending in front of Li Daocheng for many years, and she couldn't let such a small matter expose her true colors.
Li Daocheng was already seething with anger, and seeing Sun Lan's aggrieved expression, he couldn't hold back any longer. He immediately yelled at Li Ruo, "You unfilial daughter! Your mother is only trying to help you and is always thinking of you. How can you talk to her like that?"
"Mother?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Ruo said with a hint of disdain, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world: "Are you mistaken? Li Rao is her daughter. I have absolutely no relation to her."
She still hasn't forgotten what the two men in front of her did to her mother.
Every time she thinks about it, she feels like tearing him apart, let alone acknowledging him as her mother.
Sun Lan... does she even deserve it?
Seemingly sensing the contempt in her eyes, Li Daocheng's expression changed, and anger surged within him: "You've gone too far! What do you mean 'no relation'? She's my wife..."
"So what?"
Before he could finish speaking, Li Ruo interrupted him: "Even you and I can't bear it, let alone unrelated people."
