second young lady...""Lu Ningxi, this bastard!"Lu Yi angrily pounded the table, his eyes turning bloodshot. "Does she think the Lu family isn't chaotic enough! The Lu family raised her for so long, y..."...."
Luningxi was suffocated again!
I've been trying to get in touch with Yushi Group these past few days to resolve the outstanding issues, but their responses have been evasive.
She couldn't directly ask Yu Chengan, fearing she might cause him trouble.
I never expected this matter to fall directly into Li Boche's hands!
Ming Ming Yu and the Li family had nothing to do with each other...
"Don't look at me with that expression. I'm already doing you a favor by coming to clean up this mess your family made."
"Alright." Luo Ningxi took a deep breath, accepting the contract handed over by Li Bochen. "I'll have the project manager follow up with you..."
"The resort's scandal has blown up, and the only reason it hasn't been completely destroyed by public opinion is because the Li family is suppressing it. Now I've come here in person to handle this, are you just going to have someone randomly appease me"
"Since the cooperation hasn't started yet, how do you know it's just lip service"
Li Bochen's voice was laced with chill, "Since you deny being pregnant, your body must be very healthy. I want you... to handle it yourself!!"
Keep her under your nose, there are plenty of chances to take her to the hospital.
Luo Ningxi wanted to curse, but she held back.
"If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me anytime. See you soon."
After finishing his words, Lu Ningxi took the contract and turned to leave the room.
……
As soon as Luo Ningxi stepped out of the hotel, she received a call from Xiao Jin, "Ms. Luo, how is it over there I've already made the arrangements beforehand."
"I'm out now, Li Bochen really wanted to test me, fortunately you had someone change the wine early."
Luo Ningxi wiped her mouth, a sigh of relief in her heart.
From the moment Li Bochen invited her to dinner, she knew he was testing her.
So first, Xiao Jin contacted the hotel and asked them to replace her alcohol with non-alcoholic drinks in advance. She had intentionally drunk so much in front of Li Boche just now, if he wasn't too careful and checked carefully, he shouldn't be able to tell the difference.
By the way, regarding the follow-up on that resort project, Yù Group has already transferred it to Lì Bóchén. You can contact him for any further details.
"Fourth Young Master Li... wouldn't that mean he would make things difficult for you again" Xiao Jin's voice immediately turned serious.
"Right now, I just want to get this over with and completely cut ties with the Li family."
Luo Ningxi let out a light sigh. The culprit behind the collapsed pavilion could only be suspected to be Mu Xiyin, but there was no evidence at all.
This must also be why Li Bochen took over this project, to cover up for his fiancée
Lu Ningxi felt a tightness in her chest and some discomfort in her lower abdomen. She decided to go home and rest first.
On the other side, Li Bochen's long fingers tapped continuously on the table, thinking over everything that had just happened. He was a little frustrated and picked up another opened bottle of red wine to pour into his glass, one after another. He didn't have much mood originally, but now drinking like this seemed to numb him.
He didn't eat much of the dishes anyway, and when he started drinking, it was a bottomless pit. In no time at all, the bottle was empty.
He rubbed his throbbing temples, glancing across the table at Lorien Creek's empty wine glass.
She didn't look too well and had put on a touch of light makeup.
It was called light makeup, but she had only applied lipstick. At this moment, the cup reflected a faint lip print. Driven by some inexplicable force, Li Bochen didn't know if he had drunk too much. He reached out and picked up the empty wine glass that Luo Ningxi had used. Like a lunatic, he pressed it against her lip print.
Luo Ningxi, how can I make you trust me more
However, just as he posted it, Li Bochen's face suddenly changed drastically.
The smell of alcohol in this cup... it's different from what he just drank!
Li Bochen snatched another empty bottle from the table, holding it to his nose and sniffing it carefully.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, a sudden sharpness. Something wasn't right!
"Waiter!" Li Bochen quickly called the waiter, "Why are these two bottles of wine different"
The waiter, naturally unaware of what had transpired, explained, “This was Miss Luo’s specific request. When we went to retrieve the wine from the cellar, it was already open. We just delivered the wine and knew nothing else…”
"Who opened the wine" Li Bochen continued to ask.
"We have a colleague who specializes in opening and decanting wine."
To be honest, it is usually required to be opened at the dining table, and it is rare to open it in advance.
Li Bochen called Mo Yao, “Find me the surveillance footage of the wine cabinet at Yunlan Restaurant.”
Mo Yao did as he was told.
In less than three minutes, Li Bochen had received all the surveillance footage.
Suddenly, on the monitor screen of the liquor cabinet door, I saw a familiar figure.
Xiao Jin.
Luo Ningxi's most trusted lieutenant now.
He then appeared at the restaurant's liquor cabinet, and from that moment on, Lonning Xi's drinks were switched to non-alcoholic options.
Damn it, she actually played a trick on herself!
Li Bochen's anger flared instantly!
Luo Ningxi! Tricking him again!
……
Jinshan Apartments.
Luo Ningxi lay on the bed, browsing parenting tips on her phone in a haphazard manner.
I hope Li Bochen will believe that she's not pregnant and won't bother her anymore.
Beep beep --
Lu Ningxi was just thinking when her phone suddenly rang. Ningxi smiled slightly, and spoke in a leisurely manner, "Mr. Gao, I heard that you're still worried about your grandson's schooling after returning from overseas this time. The enrollment quota for...
