She said she was flattered, but the mockery in her eyes was about to show.
Li Rao gritted her teeth, forcibly suppressing the surging anger in her heart: "Li Ruo, don't be ungrateful. I'm only reminding you out of kindness because you have the surname Li. Don't forget your identity. Old Master Wen is not someone to be trifled with. Do you really not want to live?"
"You don't need to worry about that."
Li Ruo lazily lowered her eyes, not wanting to bring up the matter again.
She had already considered all the consequences when she decided to get involved with Wen Huaiyan.
She'd do anything to get revenge!
However, she was still affected by Li Rao's words, and she pursed her lips and turned her head away impatiently.
And this is exactly the opportunity that Li Rao wants!
Seeing this, she quickly stepped forward and, taking advantage of Li Ruo's inattention, threw the thing she had prepared into the other person's wine glass.
"bite!"
The pill made a barely perceptible crisp sound as it fell into the cup. Li Ruo was startled and subconsciously turned her head.
Li Rao had already started shouting: "Do you think I want to control you? I'm warning you, you can do whatever you want, just don't drag the Li family down with you."
With that, she turned and left in a hurry.
Watching her flustered figure, Li Ruo narrowed her eyes, somewhat puzzled.
This woman came to her and rambled on and on, could it be that she just wanted to keep her from getting involved with the Li family?
But she always felt like something was wrong.
Li Ruo frowned and glanced around, but found nothing amiss.
As the music began, the banquet officially commenced.
In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on the center of the hall.
At this moment, Wen Zhi, with a perfect smile on her face, was walking slowly down the stairs, arm in arm with Wen Huaiyan.
That demeanor really did give her the air of a pampered young lady from a wealthy family.
It's just a pity...
Li Ruo shook her head, erasing the distracting thoughts from her mind, and then picked up the wine glass beside her and drank it all in one gulp.
Unbeknownst to her, as she drank the glass of wine, there was an excited gaze from the corner.
Although today's event is Wenzhi's birthday party, necessary business networking is still indispensable.
Looking at the Wen siblings surrounded by people in the room, Li Ruo sighed and regretted coming to the banquet.
You'd be better off reading a few more documents than using that time.
As she lowered her eyes and lost in thought, she felt the temperature around her rise a few degrees.
"That's strange... Is the air conditioning on?"
She subconsciously touched her face, feeling her mind become somewhat muddled.
She struggled to sit up, but as soon as she stood, she swayed and her vision blurred.
"Wait a minute, is my alcohol tolerance really that bad?"
Li Ruo slapped her head hard, feeling extremely puzzled.
She only drank this one glass of wine; even if it was strong, it shouldn't have made her dizzy...
The moment the thought flashed through my mind, a restless energy ignited within me.
If Li Ruo still doesn't realize something's wrong now, she'd be incredibly foolish.
"Li Rao!"
Her eyes suddenly sharpened, and she immediately scanned her surroundings, trying to find that figure, but to no avail.
As time went on, her reaction became increasingly intense.
Without thinking twice, Li Ruo rushed out.
Since Li Rao dared to drug her, she must have prepared a backup plan. She absolutely cannot let that woman succeed.
She left her phone in the car while getting her hair and makeup done.
We must find a way to contact someone to take her away.
Li Ruo hurried out of the hall. Fortunately, the banquet had just begun and there was no one in the corridor.
She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to step into the restroom.
But then, a series of stumbling footsteps suddenly came from behind.
She turned around and saw a drunken man.
"Why hasn't Zhizhi come yet? Didn't you say you had something to tell me?"
As he drew closer, Li Ruo tensed up, unconsciously wanting to back away, her heart growing increasingly uneasy.
But the man had already spotted her, and his eyes lit up: "Hey, little beauty, what are you doing here all alone?"
As soon as he approached, a strong smell of alcohol hit me.
Li Ruo turned pale and hurriedly tried to dodge.
But she wasn't in good shape, and the moment she made a move, the man grabbed her wrist tightly: "I don't think I've seen you before. Are you here for the banquet too?"
As he spoke, his greasy gaze swept over Li Ruo from head to toe, before a wicked smile appeared on his face.
"Get out of my way!"
Despite her discomfort, Li Ruo forcefully shook off his hand.
The man was dizzy and disoriented. He stumbled a few steps before realizing what was happening and angrily shouted, "Tell me to get lost? Do you know who I am? I am Lin Kangle!"
Upon hearing these three words, Li Ruo's heart sank, but she had already figured everything out.
No wonder Li Rao couldn't wait to appear as soon as Wen Zhigang took Wen Huaiyan away.
It turns out that everything was a conspiracy between two people!
At this moment, the restlessness within her body grew stronger and stronger. Li Ruo bit her tongue hard, trying to maintain the last bit of clarity: "Isn't the Lin family going to form a marriage alliance with the Wen family? Aren't you afraid that the young lady of the Wen family will find out about what you're doing?"
