Chapter 33 Husband-in-law, Don't be Late This Weekend
the phone fell silent for a few seconds before a violent coughing fit began."Ahem... Old Liu, what are you saying"Master Li couldn't believe his ears. His face, creased with wrinkles, contorted into a..."The Luo family doesn't seem to have anything that Mr. Mo would be interested in. Don't overthink it." Li Bochen comforted, opening his mouth.
Lu Ningxi thought about it and agreed. With Mo Zong's status and methods, if he wanted something from the Lu family, he could just take it directly. There was no need to be so roundabout, was there So she temporarily put the matter aside and told the waiter to serve the dishes.
Luningxi didn't order Sichuan dishes today. The weather was a bit hot, so she ordered from a Cantonese restaurant instead, opting for something light to clear the heat.
It just so happens that Li Bochen is nourishing his stomach and can only eat these light dishes.
After the meal, Li Bichen escorted Lu Ningxi back to her home. Not long after, the carriage stopped outside the gate of Lu's villa.
Luo Ningxi and Li Boche said goodbye, reminding him to drive safely. Suddenly, a mocking female voice came from beside her.
"Aren't these your sister and brother-in-law"
Lo Ningxi glanced sideways and saw that Luo Zhiqin, outside the car window, had her arms crossed and looked down upon her and Li Bochen with disdain.
Luo Ningxi nonchalantly pushed open the car door and got out, waving to Li Bochen, motioning for him to leave.
"Don't rush off like that." Unexpectedly, Luo Zhiqin's figure flashed, and she leaned over, pulling at the car door with one hand. She said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, "Dad is hosting a banquet this weekend, you know, brother-in-law Don't miss it."
Her schadenfreude was almost written all over her face. Before Li Bochen could even open his mouth, Luo Ningxi had already refused, "My husband is very busy and has no time to attend!"
Luo Zhiqin's face turned ashen. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly realized it was a brand new car without even a license plate!
It goes without saying that it was bought by Luo Ningxi for her little white face. She's actually so good to him
If they were seen by Shengkai, they would be finished!
Lo Zhiqin not only didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "Isn't this also for your consideration Now that Dad agrees to your marriage, you have to meet the relatives and elders at home, right"
Luo Ningxi frowned and said to Li Bochen, "Don't mind her, just keep busy."
Li Bohen looked at Luo Zhiqin's smug face, his cold eyes narrowed slightly, "I'll come over if I have nothing to do on the weekend."
Lu Ningxi felt a surge of emotion upon hearing this, and replied, "You really don't have to come, I can manage on my own."
"Be good, we are one now, wait for me this weekend."
Even though she knew the duckling wasn't much help, Luo Ningxi couldn't deny that she was pleased he was willing to come and assist her.
……
Before we knew it, the weekend arrived.
From morning onwards, the hall of the Luo household was bustling with activity. Aside from the maids setting up the venue, there were also event planners moving around everywhere.
Luo Yi was even more spirited and energetic!
It is rumored that the mysterious owner of Shengshi Group keeps a very low profile, leaving all public matters to the CEO Mo Yao, which speaks volumes about Mo Yao's high status.
Despite this, Mo Yao is generally very low-key and rarely appears in public.
And now he has agreed to attend the banquet hosted by the Luo family!
This undoubtedly sent out two signals to the outside world.
First, Shengshi and Luo family will not only cooperate but may even have a deeper collaboration; second, Luo Yi is about to make a comeback.
For a time, the business world in the capital city was in turmoil.
Those business magnates who used to look down on Luo Yi, surprisingly started calling him, hoping to receive an invitation to a dinner.
During his lifetime, Luo Yi's most glorious moments were when he inherited the group left by his mother from Ningxi, Luoning, and now.
Jiang Jingya specially spent one million to buy a top-tier sleeveless ball gown for Luo Zhiqin, outlining her graceful and curvy figure.
"Mom, Dad said my allowance would be cut in half! Where did you get so much money" Luo Zhiqin stood in front of the mirror, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
A gleam flashed in Jiang Jingya's eyes, but she didn't explain. "You don't need to worry about that. The maid said Yu Chengnan has arrived. You should hurry and get ready so you don't keep him waiting. Also, at the dinner party tonight, your father will announce that you are in charge of the cooperation project with Shengshi Group..."
"By then, I'll be the center of everyone's attention. I'll even get to dance with Brother Chengnan for the opening number, and let everyone know that the Luo family only has one stunning daughter – that's me!"
Lo Zhiqin's face was full of longing, and she was even more eager to get started.
Just thinking that Luo Ningxi actually told Luo Yi to invite Mr. Mo to the banquet, she couldn't help but feel anger rising in her heart!
"Mom, are you saying that Luoningxi really invited Mr. Mo"
Jiang Jingya's face darkened upon hearing this, "Let's wait and see! I don't believe this little wretch really has that much ability."
"Yeah, she's definitely lying!"
……
Outside the corridor, Luo Ningxi had changed into a black mini dress. It was slightly masculine and sharp, after all, the theme of this banquet was to celebrate the cooperation between Shengshi and the Luo family. As the project manager, she should keep a low profile but remain capable.
As I walked down the stairs, I ran into Yu Chengnan who was just coming up.t even sent her to jail, that's already being lenient! She must pay the price!"Li Bochen's cold eyes narrowed slightly, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips, "Sister-in-law, did Luonin...
