palm went numb!Wang Yang was stunned by the beating. Just as he was about to get angry, he met the woman's calm and sharp eyes, and a bad feeling flashed in his heart.Then Lu Ningxi smiled and said,...When opened, it was Yu Chengnan's phone that had been answered.

Luo Ningxi had just picked up the phone when a deep, weary voice came through the receiver, "Hello, Xi Xi, I have some other projects to follow up on these days. My aunt has taken over the matters of the holiday resort. She will contact you later. We will definitely take responsibility for what Yu Shi should bear."

Although Yu Chengnan didn't explicitly say it, Luo Ningxi knew he was definitely taking the pressure from both the Li and Yu families to call her.

"Anyway, all that's left afterward is compensation and maintenance operation. You should go about your business first." Luo Ningxi replied nonchalantly.

"Xixi, I've dragged you into this. When things calm down, please give me a chance to make it up to you, okay"

"Alright, Chengnan gege, I take responsibility for this too. You don't have to blame yourself."

Luo Ningxi's tone was as calm as water, not even rippling at all because of Yu Chengnan's words.

Yu Chengnan fell silent for a long time, and after a while, he spoke again, “By the way, there’s one more thing, Li Bochen… Has he been harassing you again recently”

"How did you suddenly ask that" Luo Ningxi tightened her grip on the phone, masking her surprise with a counter-question.

"I saw him at the hospital that day, I saw him chasing you out, and I was worried he would make things difficult for you, and…"

Yu Chengan's voice held a hint of probing, "I just went to see Old Master Li, and he said that they plan to use Jian Ningyi's pregnancy as an excuse to get Li Botong and Mu Xiyin engaged. You probably don't know about this yet"

Engagement...

Although she had prepared herself mentally, when she heard the news again, Luoningxi's heart still ached fiercely!

Soon, she nonchalantly spoke again, "My divorce from Li Bochen happened a long time ago, so his marriage to anyone has nothing to do with me, and I don't care."

"Just try to understand."

Yu Chengnan secretly let out a breath, his tone becoming even gentler. "Xixi, the murky waters of the Li family are deeper than you imagine. Be extremely careful when dealing with them."

"Got it, Chengnan ge."

After a few more pleasantries, they hung up the phone. The moment the call ended, a WeChat message popped up on the screen.

The message was sent by Li Bochen.

If you're free tomorrow, please come to the Li Group. We can sign the subsequent settlement agreement there.

Luo Ningxi was fuming, no matter how he looked at this news, it just felt off!

I'm busy!

Luo Ningxi let out a cold snort, the real culprit behind the collapse of the gazebo hadn't been found yet, and he was already eager to sign a settlement agreement!

He's still protecting his fiancée!

Just as I was thinking, another message came in right away.

This agreement is your only way to receive the compensation and apology from Li Jiancheng. Are you sure you don't want it

It turned out to be Li Jiancheng's reconciliation agreement....

Although Li Jiancheng's attitude was bad, the Luo family was generous with their money. The Luo Corporation currently needed a lot of money in many places and its financial chain wasn't very complete. Helplessly, he could only irritably send a message: 【Tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, I will be there.】

……

On the other side, Li Bochen lowered his head to stare at his phone screen, a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth, sketching a mocking arc.

She must be over the moon thinking she's gotten away with it, right

Then let's see how long she can keep it hidden.

"Lao Si, why are you smiling at your phone Did you even hear what I just said to you!"

Elder Li's pale voice interrupted Li Boche's thoughts.

Hearing the elder ask this, a playful smile curved his lips even more. "Dad, I know you want to repay Mu Xi Yin, but there's no need to sacrifice my freedom, right I plan to play around for a few more years, I'm not planning on getting married yet."

"You're not young anymore, and now you have to help out at the company. Your older brother was married when he was your age."

Elder Li looked at Li Bochen with a heavy expression, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "Before, I thought about letting the two of you young people cultivate your relationship and didn't interfere too much. But now it seems that if I don't interfere, you won't be able to settle down!"

"That doesn't necessarily have to be Mu Xi Yin."

Li Bochen leaned back in his chair, his long legs crossed. "I've recently taken a liking to some of the models under Nan Hanchuan's wing. They all seem quite good. I can bring them over for you to take a look when I have time."

Faced with such an attitude from him, anyone else would certainly be angry. But Old Man Li just smiled, “Fourth son, you can pretend in front of others, but why pretend in front of me I see that you just can't let go of Luo Ningxi!”

"Since you know, why did you agree to Mu Xi Yin and let me marry her" Li Bichen retracted his smile, but the casualness in his voice remained unchanged.

"This is different." Old Master Li waved his hand. "I've never stopped you from being reckless before, but you need to remember that only YinYin can be the daughter-in-law of the Li family."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the atmosphere in the ward suddenly became heavy with tension!

The once jovial father and son suddenly grew tense. Li Bochem was even more resolute, "If you really fancy her, I don't mind having another stepmother."

Mr. Li suddenly flew into a rage, almost jumping out of bed. What did he just say

"I'm looking for a wife for you, and I'm getting up there in years. Do you want to drive me crazy"

"You look very energetic."

"You—"

"Alright, you just barely escaped death, so try not to get angry." Li Boche extinguished his anger in time, tucked the blanket for the old man, and said calmly, "Descendants will have their own blessings. You're getting older, so you should enjoy your peace and quiet and worry less about my personal life."

Old Master Li was very upset that he was a woman. He imitated how those older women would cry, make a scene, and threaten suicide, forcing Li Baochen to declare when he would get married and when he would give him a grandson.

Yet, despite his intimidating presence over the past few decades, even knowing that Li Bochen wouldn't respond to softness and preferred firmness, he stubbornly refused to lower his face and ask him for help.

Just then, a knock on the door broke the tense and heavy atmosphere.resents the Li family. There are countless eyes watching from the shadows, so of course I need to be concerned."He clenched his fist against his lips, coughed a few times, then said gravely, “The out...
