Li Ruo's words were unpleasant, but Sun Lan's expression remained unchanged as she simply explained.
“Your sister has been spoiled by us since she was little. She often thinks about you, but she doesn’t know how to express it. You are sisters after all, so you should be more understanding of each other.”
Li Ruo dismissed such remarks as utter nonsense.
"Did Mommy and my sister come here just to see me?"
Li Ruo said indifferently, "Since you've seen it, you should go back quickly. After all, Mr. Wen doesn't like others entering his house. If he comes back and gets angry, I can't help you."
Upon hearing this, Li Rao, who was standing to the side, showed no fear whatsoever; instead, her eyes lit up and she leaned closer.
"You mean, Mr. Wen comes every day?"
"Yes, this is where he handles his work."
Li Ruo was right; Wen Huaiyan was indeed here day and night dealing with the loose ends of his work.
Upon hearing this, Li Rao smiled and spoke.
"Ruoruo, Mommy is right. I just miss you. It's not easy to see you, how could I just leave? How could I bear to part with you?"
Li Rao is now completely different from before.
"Ruoruo, my darling, I'll stay here with you a little longer."
Li Ruo wasn't stupid; how could she not know what the mother and daughter were thinking?
Li Rao was just jealous of Wen Huaiyan and wanted to make herself known to him.
Smelling the expensive yet overpowering and pungent scent of cheap perfume emanating from Li Rao, she felt that Wen Huaiyan would never even look at her.
They might even... in a fit of anger, throw the two of them out in a very undignified manner.
Li Ruo has said everything she needed to say.
As night fell, there was still no sound of the front door opening.
Li Ruo sat at one side of the dining table, eating her food at a leisurely pace.
Across from her, Sun Lan and her daughter exchanged glances, seemingly communicating something.
Li Ruo didn't care and just kept eating.
Suddenly, Sun Lan spoke.
"By the way, Ruoruo, my father has asked me to tell you something this time."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo put down her chopsticks and looked calmly at the other person.
"Now that you're one of Mr. Wen's favorites, your words should carry some weight. Your father happens to be short of investment funds recently, could you perhaps—"
"Mommy."
Li Ruo smiled, a slight twitch at the corner of her lips.
"Mr. Wen is someone of a certain caliber. How could someone like me be someone you can just whisper sweet nothings in his ear?"
"Please help your father!"
As she spoke, Sun Lan pulled a huge envelope out of her bag.
Clearly, the other side came well-prepared.
“Look at the projects here. I’ve heard about them. You’re working in the project department of that company now, so you can definitely put in a good word for this.”
While Sun Lan was speaking, Li Rao's small face appeared to be smiling obsequiously, but her eyes seemed to want to devour Li Ruo alive.
On what grounds?
She was the pampered young lady of the Li family for so many years, a true golden branch and jade leaf.
From the first time Li Rao saw Wen Huaiyan, she had already secretly fallen for him.
However, due to a lack of opportunity and the fact that the other party was not interested in women, the matter was put on hold.
What merit does this country bumpkin have to stay by Wen Huaiyan's side?
He was even assigned to a key position within the company.
Li Rao felt indignant, but she couldn't express it.
Li Ruo quietly appreciated the struggle in the other person's eyes, and a sense of satisfaction slowly spread through her heart.
"Mommy, you overestimate me."
Perhaps Li Ruo was too insensitive, for Sun Lan, whose expression was always flawless, revealed a flaw at this moment.
She pursed her lips, then hesitated before placing the envelope on the table.
"Ruoruo, when you have time, mention it to Mr. Wen. Although your father is not good with words, he loves you very much and is very reliable at work. Maybe if you mention it a few more times, Mr. Wen will nod in agreement."
After saying that, Sun Lan even gave Li Ru a suggestive look.
"If all else fails, just make Mr. Wen comfortable. Anyway, medicine is so advanced now, you can just have a reconstructive surgery when you get married."
Listen to this, is this even human language?
Li Ruo felt that both she and Li Rao were extremely pathetic.
Because both parents in the Li family were profit-driven businessmen, their usually inseparable daughter would invariably become a pawn in crucial moments.
"Leave it here, but I'm not sure I can get it done."
He definitely won't do it.
Sun Lan thought that Li Ruo had given in, and immediately beamed with joy.
"I knew Ruoruo wouldn't just stand by and watch the family fall into trouble. By the way, isn't Mr. Wen coming back yet?"
After speaking, Sun Lan glanced at the time.
"It's getting late. How about this, let Rao Rao stay here. She hasn't had enough time with you yet. I'll head back now."
The other party's scheme has backfired spectacularly on Li Ruo.
“She can’t live here.”
Li Ruo spoke decisively.
“Mr. Wen hates strangers staying overnight. If he gets upset, your project will have no hope.”
The few words, seemingly plain and devoid of extra emotion, instantly made Li Rao a sensation.
