Mrs. Li was sitting on the main seat, with the eldest son Li Hongjun and the second son Li Hongyuan sitting on the left and right. The seats behind were arranged according to seniority.
Lu Chen and Li Ziran were sitting at the end of the room. The Li family members all looked at Lu Chen with careful eyes. However, Lu Chen didn't seem to notice. He dipped his fingers into the tea cup and wrote and drew selflessly on the table.
Li Hongjun asked seriously: "Lu Chen, do you really not know Meng Aohan?"
Lu Chen raised his head, looked at Li Hongjun in confusion, and said, "Dad, who is she?"
Li Hongjun shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he actually asked this fool Lu Chen what he was expecting.
Li Yan sneered and said: "I think it's probably that Meng Meng is attracted by this fool's face. How about we go along with the situation and give this fool to Meng Meng as a toy, maybe Meng Meng will directly agree to cooperate with us."
Thinking of what happened in the morning, she looked at Lu Chen, her eyes full of malice and cruelty. She was actually being played by a fool. She would definitely not let this fool have an easy time in the future!
"Sister, that's enough!"
A trace of sullenness appeared on Li Ziran's pretty face, and then he explained: "According to what Director Meng said today, Lu Chen is probably Dong Meng's senior brother, so he came forward to help us out."
"Haha, how could a fool be Director Meng's senior brother? Who is Director Meng? He developed Starry Sky Group into the number one group in Yuncheng in just three years. Would such a beautiful girl from heaven have a relationship with a fool?
"
Yang Hui sneered and said disdainfully: "Even if there is, I'm afraid that Meng Meng doesn't want to admit his relatives at all. How embarrassing would it be to have such a stupid senior brother?"
"Brother-in-law is right."
Lu Chen raised his head and smiled at Yang Hui. If Meng Aohan really thought this way, then he would be relieved.
"Look at this fool, hahaha." Yang Hui couldn't help laughing loudly.
"Hehehe..." Lu Chen started laughing.
This actually made him feel unhappy. Thinking of being slapped by Lu Chen during the day, he glared and cursed: "Idiot, shut up, I'll smash your mouth with laughter again!"
"Brother-in-law, he is still my husband now."
Li Ziran's expression became serious and he looked at Yang Hui.
Yang Hui retracted his head. Li Ziran had more say in the Li family than he did because Li Ziran had created greater benefits for the family over the years than he did.
"Bah, not only is he a fool, but he is also a soft-boiled man who only knows how to hide behind women."
Yang Hui noticed Lu Chen looking at him with a proud smile, and cursed secretly in anger, thinking that he must teach this fool a lesson when Li Ziran was not around!
"You are so stupid. When someone scolds you, you still laugh, but you don't know how to scold you back."
Li Ziran looked back at Lu Chen, shook his head helplessly and said.
"Don't scold me. If a dog barks at me, why should I bark back? I'm not a dog." Lu Chen shrugged and replied.
Yang Hui was stunned for a moment, his face turned red and he shouted: "You dare to call me a dog?"
"Isn't it? I see that my brother-in-law has been Ye Fuxi's dog for the whole day today. You do whatever he says. No dog is as obedient as you." Lu Chen said with a smile.
"you!"
Yang Hui stood up suddenly, his face red with anger and his neck was thick. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up and fight with Lu Chen. But at this time, Li Hongjun made a "pop" sound, slammed the table, and said in a cold voice: "That's enough! What's the fuss about?"
Noisy, do you think this is a vegetable market? Yang Hui, sit back for me!"
"Okay dad."
Yang Hui was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He sat back reluctantly and stared at Lu Chen with vicious eyes. If eyes could kill, Lu Chen must have died thousands of times!
"No matter what the reason is, Director Meng is interested in cooperating with my Li family, so we must seize the opportunity this time!"
Li Hongjun looked serious. After looking around, he said: "Whoever comes up with a good plan within three days and is approved by Director Meng will be the project leader, and he will be given 30% of the net profit of the project!"
"Wow!"
Li Hongjun's words caused an uproar, and many people were ready to take action.
"Dad, I will definitely not let you down. I will make the best plan and get Dong Meng's approval!" Yang Hui promised, patting his chest, looking very confident.
"Okay, regardless of success or not, Xiaohui's momentum deserves praise."
Li Hongjun nodded with a smile, then looked at Lu Chen and Li Ziran again, and said: "Ranran, don't get involved in this matter. Go around more with Ye Shao to enhance your relationship. Regarding your and Ye Shao's wedding, I will discuss it again."
Pick a good day.”
Li Ziran's expression changed slightly, and he said anxiously: "Dad, I said I won't remarry, why are you still..."
Li Hongjun's face turned cold and interrupted her directly, "Ranran, the Li family has already embarrassed Ye Shao a lot with today's wedding. If you say you won't marry, then don't marry. You know what the Li family will face in the future.
What kind of disaster is it?"
"But if we can successfully cooperate with Director Meng and the Ye family wants to take revenge on us, I believe that Director Meng will definitely help us." Li Ziran gritted his silver teeth and replied.
"Ranran, you think too simply."
Li Hongjun shook his head and said seriously: "Dong Meng is helping us now because he thinks Lu Chen is her senior brother. But once Meng Dong admits the wrong person and offends the Ye family to death, do you think Meng Meng will still do it for the sake of the Li family?"
Are you going to have a conflict with the Ye family?"
"As for cooperation, even if it is confirmed, you will have to remarry to the Ye family and let us borrow the resources of the Ye family to rise quickly."
"And the Li family will definitely become a first-class family in the future. How can a first-class family have a stupid son-in-law? Wouldn't this make people laugh out loud?"
Li Yan echoed: "Ranran, dad is right. I really don't know what you think. I'm usually quite smart, but when it comes to this matter, I can't turn around. Mr. Ye is no better than this."
A fool is a hundred times better? Why do you have to take care of this fool?"
Yang Hui helped: "That is, letting him eat and drink freely in the Li family for six years is a good treatment for him."
Li Ziran bit her tender lips and said nothing, feeling bitter in her heart. Will she finally give in and become the family's puppet?
"Crunch——"
But at this moment, Lu Chen slowly stood up next to her. When Li Ziran heard the movement, she subconsciously looked up and looked into Lu Chen's gentle eyes. Her heart trembled, and she felt as if Lu Chen was in a trance.
...Aren’t you stupid?
"I admit that I wronged Ziran and protected me for six years, so now it's me to protect her. From now on, no one can force her to do things she doesn't want to do with me here."
Lu Chen smiled, looked at Li Hongjun calmly, and said, "Dad, how about we make a bet? If we lose, I will take the initiative to divorce and leave the Li family. If we win, let Ziran make the decision for his own life for once?"
The air in the conference room was silent.
Everyone looked at Lu Chen with shock and confusion. They felt that Lu Chen seemed to be back to normal at this moment.
"Lu Chen, you..."
Li Ziran didn't know why, but the tip of her nose felt sore and her eyes were a little moist. Looking up at Lu Chen's figure, she felt like she was being protected for the first time.
In the past six years, Lu Chen had been bullied and teased, and it was she who stood up to protect him.
