Chapter 9: Bravado! I'll Show You What a Gap Is!

o'clock, with people who had finished working coming to pay and residents finishing their dinner coming out for a walk. As a result, there were quite a few people gathered near the cash register.Li Bo...Originally, Luo Yi thought that even if Luo Ningxi was out of sorts, she would choose a promising young man.

If she were lucky and the other party had a good background, even if they weren't as good as Yu Chengnan, they could be comparable to Sheng Kai. This way, she wouldn't have to sell her daughter and could also gain a reputation for being generous...

I never expected that Luoningxi would actually find a country bumpkin as his boyfriend!

If Sheng Kai found out, Luo Ningxi would rather choose a poor boy than him. She might even cause some trouble!

"Dad—"

"Don't call me Dad!" Luo Yi was furious, his blood boiling. He continued solemnly, "Xixi, although our family isn't wealthy, you are still my daughter, Luo Yi's daughter. You've been pampered since childhood and haven't tasted hardship. This man looks like he has no abilities at all; maybe he wants to take a shortcut by marrying you and avoid struggling for twenty years. Don't be blinded by his sweet words."

Luo Ningxi pursed her lips. If she hadn't known in advance that he wanted to marry her off to Sheng Kai, that old scoundrel, she might have genuinely thought this show of concern was for her own good.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Ningxi firmly held onto Li Bochen's arm, "Dad, I admit that it was wrong of us not to tell you before getting married. But feelings can't be calculated with reason."

"Yes, he has no money and is a poor boy, but I believe that money isn't everything. As long as he is willing to work hard and be diligent, we can create our own destiny with our own hands."

Besides, when you married my mother back then, weren't you also broke

When she got to the last sentence, Luo Ningxi’s voice unconsciously gained a few points of weight, and even the strength of her hand clutching Li Botong tightened slightly.

Li Bochen sensed her emotional fluctuation. He casually turned his head to look at her, and saw the determination, persistence, and silent resistance in her eyes.

At first, marrying her was simply about taking responsibility for her and repaying her past kindness...

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a strong urge to protect her.

"You've turned against me! I raised you this big, just to have you criticize me And my love for your mother was real, how can this kid compare to me" Luo Yi's voice instantly rose, using anger to mask his guilt.

Luo Ningxi scoffed at him, it was obvious why he married her mother in the first place, and now he wanted to sacrifice her for an investment

Just as she was about to retort, her body trembling, a cold voice suddenly rang in her ear, "I may not be able to compare with my father-in-law, but thirty years east of the river, thirty years west. It's best not to underestimate anyone!"

The voice was soft, yet inexplicably possessed a powerful aura of authority.

Luo Ningxi gazed at the man's cold and stern facial features, her heart warming.

"Dad, a lifetime is so long, don't underestimate people."

"You—"

Luo Yi was so angry his face turned red.

There was a constant stream of passersby entering and exiting the entrance to Changlong Restaurant, all curiously looking over.

Jiang Jingya secretly enjoyed watching the father-daughter duo squabble. She wished they'd argue until the last shred of familial affection was gone. However, she knew Luo Yi cared about appearances and feigned magnanimity to appease him. "Honey, calm down first," she said. "Let's go inside and talk. We're both respectable people; arguing here would just make us the laughingstock."

Lu Yi's forehead jumped with blue veins, his gaze returning to the hotel manager.

"Manager, as you can see, I still have a major use for this room today. Please be sure to make it available."

He wanted to let Li Bochen know what a gap was, and the Luo family was definitely not someone he could aspire to!

The manager was a little displeased, "Mr. Luo, I just made it very clear, the VIP room has already been requisitioned..."

Luo Zhiqin suggested, "Dad, the manager has limited authority. It's useless to find him. Why not let Wang, the deputy general manager of the hotel, arrange it for us"

"Yes, dear," Jiang Jingya agreed. "You know Mr. Wang, don't you Why waste time with a mere manager"

Luo Yi gave Li Bochen a cold glance, then took out his phone and called Wang, the deputy general manager.

Actually, he wasn't really acquainted with Vice President Wang. They had met at a banquet hosted by a mutual business partner before. Vice President Wang happened to be there, and he took the opportunity to get his contact information. After all, Changlong Hotel is backed by Shengshi Group, and countless people are eager to have a place there. He didn't really need to drum up business...

The busy tone rang.

While waiting for the call, Jiang Jingya and her daughter looked at Luo Ningxi and his wife with a provocative smile on their lips. In a condescending tone, they said, "Changlong Hotel is a six-star hotel under Shengshi Group, one of the largest in the imperial capital. I presume your husband has never been here before Well, your father-in-law will take you inside to broaden your horizons."

Li Bochen's narrow, cold eyes narrowed slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips.

The Shengshi Group is involved in countless industries. Companies like Changlong Hotel, which are not very famous, he used to disdain visiting. For these people to actually boast about having a meal here

Just then, Luo Yi's call went through.

He politely said, “Vice President Wang Hello, I’m Luo Yi from the Luoshi Group...”ords to say and which not to say, right"The old man's vigorous eyes narrowed slightly, without saying anything more. He pursed his lips and watched Su Qiao demonstrate the ornament in front of him.Jus...
