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

miled indulgently, hooking her waist and pulling her close. "No way, my wife is just too beautiful. I couldn't wait to come over and have lunch with her.""So flirty!"Lu Ningxi's pretty cheeks flushed...Originally, Luo Yi thought that even if Luo Ningxi was eccentric, she would choose a talented young man.

If the other party's identity and background are decent, even if they are not as good as Yu Chengnan, they can be comparable to Sheng Kai. In this way, she wouldn't have to sell her daughter and could also earn a reputation for generosity...

I never expected that Luoningxi would actually find a white-faced country bumpkin!

If Sheng Kai found out, Luo Ningxi would rather choose a poor boy than him. Who knows what kind of trouble he might stir up

"Dad—"

"Don't call me Dad!" Luo Yi felt a surge of anger and said with gravity, "Xixi, although our family isn't wealthy, you are still my daughter, Luo Yi. You've been pampered since childhood and haven't tasted any hardship. This man doesn't seem capable at all. He might be trying to use you to avoid struggling for twenty years. Don't let his sweet words cloud your judgment."

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 truly believed that his pretense 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 to not tell you before getting married, but love can't be measured by reason."

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

Moreover, when you married my mother, didn't you also have no money

When it came to the last sentence, Luo Ningxi's voice unconsciously grew heavier, and her grip on Li Boche tightened slightly.

Li Bohen sensed her emotional fluctuations. He casually turned his head to look at her, and saw the determination, persistence, and silent defiance in her eyes.

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

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

"You dare defy me! I raised you this big, just to have you scold me And my love for your mother was real, how can this kid even compare to me" Luo Yi's voice instantly rose in pitch, using anger to mask his guilt.

Lon Ningxi sneered at him, it was obvious why he married her mother in the first place, and now he even wanted to sacrifice her for investment

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

His voice was soft, yet it possessed an unexpected and powerful aura of authority.

Luo Ningxi gazed at the man's cold and sharp facial features, a warmth spreading in her heart.

"Dad, a lifetime is so long, don't look down on people."

"You—"

Luo Yi was so angry that his face flushed red.

There was a constant flow of pedestrians coming in and out of the entrance of Changlong Restaurant, all curiously looking over.

Jiang Jingya enjoyed watching the father-daughter duo argue. She hoped they would eventually fight until there was no trace of their familial bond left, but she knew Luo Yi valued his reputation. Pretending to be magnanimous, she soothed him, "Honey, take a deep breath and calm down. Let's go inside and talk things through. We both have status, arguing here will only make us look foolish in front of others."

Luo Yi's forehead twitched, his gaze shifting back to the hotel manager.

"Manager, as you can see, I still have a big use for this room today. Please make sure it's available."

He wants to let Li Bochen know what a gap is, and the Luo family is absolutely not someone he can aspire to!

The manager was slightly displeased, "Mr. Luo, I just explained it very clearly. The VIP room has already been taken."

Luo Zhiqin suggested, “Dad, the manager has limited power. It’s useless to find him. Why not have Wang, the deputy general manager of the hotel, arrange it for us”

Jiang Jingya agreed, "Yes, dear husband, don't you know Vice President Wang Why waste time talking to a small manager like him"

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

Actually, he wasn't really acquainted with Wang, the deputy general manager. They just happened to be at a dinner hosted by a mutual business partner before. Wang was there, and he took the opportunity to ask for his contact information, after all, Changlong is backed by Shengshi Group, and countless people are vying for a chance to stay at the hotel. He really didn't need him to drum up business...

The busy tone sounded.

While waiting for the call, Jiang Jingya and her daughter looked at Luo Ningxi and his wife with a provocative smile on their lips. Their tone was very generous, "Changlong Hotel is a six-star hotel under Shengshi Group, and its scale is among the best in the imperial capital. I presume your son-in-law hasn't had the opportunity to come here before It just so happens that your father-in-law will take you in to broaden your horizons."

Li Bochen's long and cold eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

Shengshi Group has countless industries under its umbrella. He used to disdain visiting places like Changlong Hotel, which wasn't very well-known. How can these people be proud of having a meal here

Just then, Luo Yi's call got through.

He politely said, “Deputy General Manager Wang Hello, I’m Luo Yi from the Luo Group…”t, watching Sheng Kai's filthy hand fall to her chest...But just at this critical moment, with a deafening bang, the room's door was burst open.In the midst of despair, Loning Xi raised her head, tear...
