Three days later, at the shareholders' meeting, Li Ruo appeared as scheduled, dressed in a smart suit dress.
Unexpectedly, upon meeting her, Li Daocheng completely changed his usual ugly demeanor, walking over with a beaming smile and warmly greeting her.
"Ruo Ruo, you've come."
Li Ruozi immediately saw through his act, so she sneered and didn't give him any chance to get close to her: "When does the meeting start?"
Unexpectedly, Li Ruo was so cold to him in front of everyone. Li Daocheng's expression froze slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
However, after thinking about the arrangements for later, he instantly regained his smiling demeanor, looking Li Ruo up and down as if nothing had happened.
"Why are you in such a hurry? As for you, you've lost weight again in just a few days. You need to eat properly on time, so your dad won't worry about you."
As he spoke, he pretended to pinch Li Ruo's cheek, seemingly trying to create the impression that he and his daughter were very close and had no barriers between them.
However, Li Ruo was disgusted by his fake acting and immediately dodged away as if she were running away from something disgusting.
At this moment, there were still quite a few people in the conference room.
Seeing that Li Ruo made no attempt to hide the rejection on her face, the crowd around her immediately burst into whispers.
It seems everyone is speculating whether the father and daughter have really fallen out?
Otherwise, rumors wouldn't have circulated within the company these past few days about the two of them fighting fiercely for control of the company.
Hearing the whispers of the crowd, Li Daocheng felt a little embarrassed, but he still smiled and said, "Look at you, child. You've become shy when there are so many people around, and you're not even close to your father anymore."
Li Ruo originally wanted to start as soon as possible, but she couldn't stand Li Daocheng's abnormally hypocritical face. She snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Alright, stop pretending. In the past twenty years, you have never personally admitted that I am your daughter, nor have you ever cared about me. What are you pretending for now? Who are you pretending for?"
In the past, if Li Ruo had publicly humiliated Li Daocheng like this, he would have lost his temper and taught the other party a lesson.
This time, however, Li Daocheng wasn't angry at all. Instead, he twitched the corners of his mouth, looking somewhat smug.
He seemed more pleased with himself the angrier Li Ruo got.
Noticing that something was wrong with Li Daocheng, Li Ruo couldn't help but roll her eyes, feeling that something was definitely amiss.
Silence is definitely not in Li Daocheng's nature; he must be brewing some big move.
Despite having already seen through the deception, Li Ruo still had no intention of backing down. Instead, she took a few steps closer, her fair face filled with coldness: "What, speechless now? Looks like I hit the nail on the head. So, do you admit that everything you did just now was just an act? You're nothing but a two-faced old fox who's good at using hypocrisy to cover up the ugly mouth behind your mask."
At this moment, her words were sharp and incisive, all in an attempt to provoke Li Daocheng.
She just loved seeing him like this, wanting to get angry but not daring to.
"Or are you admitting that you're just a selfish, ruthless person who will stop at nothing to achieve your goals, even abandoning your wife and daughters—a creature worse than a beast?"
"you!"
As expected, upon hearing these words, Li Daocheng instinctively clenched his fists tightly, his face instantly turning ashen, as if he wanted to devour Li Ruosheng alive.
Since taking the position of president of the Li Group, no one has dared to treat him like this.
What a wonderful Li Ruo...
His eyes were sinister, and just as he was about to explode, Sun Lan suddenly appeared with reporters who had been hiding in the shadows.
Seeing this, Li Daocheng immediately came to his senses, forcibly suppressed his anger, and pretended to be heartbroken. Then he quietly gave Sun Lan a wink.
Understanding Li Daocheng's meaning, Sun Lan immediately stormed up to Li Ruo, pointing at her and yelling, "You unfilial daughter! It's one thing that you've never come home to see your father in all these years, but even so, we've always given you whatever you need and never mistreated you. But we never imagined that you would dare to publicly pressure your father to fulfill your greedy ambitions and desires! Are you even human?!"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.
The reporters, as if they had suddenly heard some big news, rushed over to Li Ruo and surrounded her in an instant, each one speaking sharply.
"Miss Li, how can you treat your father like this for your own selfish reasons? Do you really have a conscience?"
"Miss Li, what exactly do you want? Is the entire Li Corporation your ultimate goal, or is your ambition not limited to this?"
Listening to the reporters' deliberately leading questions, Li Ruo finally realized that this was the trap Li Daocheng had set for her today.
They wanted to use public opinion to put pressure on her; after a few days apart, they've certainly learned a thing or two.
But these are all things she's already done!
