A single sentence caused Li Jianbin's brow to furrow. Yu Lan tugged at Li Jianbin's sleeve beside him.Yu Chengnan's pupils constricted suddenly, and a layer of frost covered his face.
Lu Zhiqin didn't notice anything amiss. She still feigned regret and said, "Brother-in-law seems to haven't come tonight either. Maybe he doesn't want to see this scene. Actually, it's all my fault. If I had refused Father's arrangement back then…"
Luo Zhiqin grew more and more smug, wishing that Yu Chengnan would despise Luo Ningxi. However, she didn't notice the gradually impatient expression on Yu Chengnan's face.
As soon as her last words fell, Yu Chengnan interrupted her with a slight restraint, "Zhiqin, she is your sister after all. Approaching Mr. Mo is also to save the Luo Group."
Lu Zhiqin froze, Yu Chengnan had already loosened his grip on her hand, "My aunt seems to be here, I'll go take a look."
Lu Zhiqin realized she had talked too much. Just as she was about to make amends, Yu Chennan went straight past her to another place where famous figures gathered.
Yu Chengnan's aunt, Yu Lan, married the eldest son of the Li family. After many years without children, she treated Yu Chengnan as her own.
"Aunt, Uncle," Yu Chengnan greeted them politely.
Yu Lan and the young master of the Li family, Li Jianbin, are representing Li's Group today. As the core decision-maker of Li's Group, their every move is highly anticipated and they are surrounded by countless people.
"Chénán, you're here just in time. Let me introduce you, this is your Uncle Zhào, and Mr. Lǐ…" Yúlán saw Yù Chēnnán and introduced him to the business tycoons around her one by one.
The other business magnates also looked at Yu Chengnan with loving eyes, “Such a formidable young man, the Yu family boy has grown so much”
Yu Chengnan smiled and nodded in agreement, being very polite.
Li Jianbin also revealed a satisfied gleam in his eyes, "A-Lan, your nephew is becoming more and more sensible."
Yu Ran was satisfied in her heart and smiled slightly, "I haven't been in Yu Shi Group for long, so I still need to experience more."
"Heard you got a girlfriend Didn't she come tonight" Li Jianbin asked again with a smile, swaying his wine glass in his hand. Though amiable, there was a faint sense of distance in his gaze.
Yu Chengnan could naturally feel that in a large family like the Li family, with his aunt not having given birth to a son for Li Jianbin, how much Li Jianbin valued him, this outsider nephew
He replied calmly, "I'm here because I have other engagements."
Yu Lan followed Yu Chengnan's gaze and saw Luo Zhiqin in a deep V dress. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
When everyone else had finished their socializing, Yu Lan pulled Yu Chengnan aside and asked, "What is your girlfriend wearing It's showing her chest and back! This is a high-end gathering, not a place for celebrities and models to compete in revealing outfits."
Yu Chengnan didn't really think much of it at first, but when Yu Lan brought it up, he couldn't help but recall Luo Ningxi wearing a white dress earlier, looking like a swan.
His eyes darkened for a moment.
"She has a great figure, and she actually looks really good in this outfit." Yu Chengnan explained.
"If she were just a companion, her looks wouldn't be such a big deal. But now she's your girlfriend, representing your status. Acting this way will only damage your image."
Yu Ran sighed helplessly, and out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of Luo Ningxi chatting with Mo Yao. She couldn't help but compare the two sisters.
As Yu Chengnan's aunt, she naturally knew about Yu Chengnan's romance with Luo Ningxi back then, which was taken advantage of by Luo Zhiqin.
But as an orphan, Luo Ningxi's biological mother had died, and her father didn't care for her...
Luo Zhiqin was different. Yu Ran and Jiang Jingya had met her a few times. That woman was deep-minded and had successfully gotten Luo Yi wrapped around her finger. In the future, the Luo family's wealth would naturally fall into Luo Zhiqin's hands.
Dating He meant having an extra assistant, so she acquiesced to Luo Zhiqin's stand-in actions.
Now, I feel more and more that even though Luo Ningxi doesn't have a prominent background, she is generous, graceful, and composed. She is much better than Luo Zhiqin in every way
"Chénán, I heard from your father the other day that you still want to lend money to the Luó family to fill their hole" Yùlán asked again.
Yu Chengnan nodded slightly, "I did mention it, but Dad refused."
As Luo Zhiqin's boyfriend, Yu Chengnan has proposed more than once to help the Luo family with money, but he hasn't taken control of the group yet and has limited funds on hand.
Yu Lan sneered, "As my nephew, you're surrounded by noblewomen eager to marry you. Your father and I don't expect you to find a particularly talented girlfriend, but at least don't hold us back like this!"
Yu Chengan had his own pride and arrogance, "Auntie, I don't want my feelings to be mixed with too much profit."
"The Luo family asking you for money is already mixed with self-interest." Yu Lan delivered a fatal blow.
Yu Chengnan remained silent for a long time.
Indeed, every time the Luo family asked him for help, he was caught in a difficult position.
Can you help He can't afford that much money; if you don't help, I'm sorry to Luo Zhiqin.
At this moment, Luo Zhiqin felt Yu Chengnan and Yu Lan looking at her. She suppressed those unpleasant feelings and walked over with a smile, "Aunt, Brother Chengnan, what are you two talking about that makes you so happy"
Yu Ran increasingly disliked Luo Zhiqin. Where did she see that they were happyto help you,” Old Master Li said with sharp eyes. “I absolutely won't allow someone like Luo Ningxi, who is frivolous and despicable, to enter the Li family. You are the only daughter-in-law I recogni...
