fell on the warm and cozy apartment before him, and he sighed. "Although it's a bit small, at least it's livable."Luo Ningxi rolled her eyes at him. This guy could just say he wanted to stay at her pl...That look sent goosebumps all over Lin Xi's body.

Luo Yi frowned slightly. He hadn't invited Sheng Kai, so how did he get here

"Uncle Sheng, Dad told me everything," Luo Ningxi spoke first, taking hold of Luo Yi's arm and smiling thinly. "He said you value me very much and want to take me on as your goddaughter. I'm so touched."

Sheng Kai's words froze in his throat, his eyes flashing with coldness as he glared at Luo Yi.

Luo Yi's heart pounded!

This wicked daughter!

Has he ever spoken to her like that

Wouldn't it be that she purposely invited Shengkai here, wanting to stir up trouble between him and Shengkai

Luo Ningxi seemed not to notice Lu Yi's nervousness. A pair of clear autumn eyes blinked, innocent as could be.

"Uncle Sheng, we have two daughters at home. It wouldn't be good to make people think one is favored over the other. Since it's a wine reception today with the media present, why not have Zhiqin come over You can acknowledge her as well"

Sheng Kai's face darkened, "Lao Luo, you told me to wait for your news with peace of mind, is this your reply"

"Lao Ge Sheng, it's just a child being playful, don't take offense!" Luo Yi had been suppressed by Sheng Kai for too long. Thinking of the backing of Shengshi Group, he gritted his teeth and said, "But my two daughters are as beautiful as flowers, if you let them be your adopted daughters, you wouldn't lose out, right"

Sheng Kai heard the refusal in Luo Yi's tone and sneered, "I remember when you asked me for investment for the Luo family before, your words weren't like this"

"You also know that was in the past. Now we are cooperating with Shengshi Group, and Mr. Mo will be coming to the banquet himself. Those previous conditions naturally no longer apply! If you are not satisfied, we can also go together and ask Mr. Mo to be fair."

Sheng Kai gasped, a wave of anger brewing within him. "Are you threatening me with Mr. Mo"

"Where did you hear that It's just that Xi Xi is young, she's only suitable to be your goddaughter." Luo Yi narrowed his shrewd eyes.

Where had Sheng Kai ever seen Luo Yi so arrogant He was so angry that he blurted out three "good"s, "Good, good, good, Luo Yi! I underestimated you! You wait for me!"

Luo Yi gave a wry smile and, after Sheng Kai stormed off in anger, glared fiercely at Luo Ningxi.

Luo Ningxi smiled even more innocently. Luo Yi was so angry that he dropped a sentence, "I'll settle with you later," and then, seeing that time was almost up, he tidied his tie, put on his suit and walked onto the stage in fine clothes. He picked up the microphone and announced that the reception had officially begun.

“Thank you all for attending the celebration banquet hosted by the Luo family despite your busy schedules. Tonight's reception theme is to celebrate the upcoming cooperation between the Luo family and Shengshi Group on the East Mountain project! The Luo family was able to secure this project thanks to my daughter - Luo Zhiqin! Next, this project will be fully entrusted to her, and now please invite her to the stage to say a few words to everyone…”

Cheers and applause, loud and continuous.

Luo Ningxi's movements to take the stage froze instantly. She abruptly looked up, her eyes fixed on Luo Yi under the spotlight with disbelief!

This project was clearly negotiated by her! Why did it become Luo Zhiqin's

Lu Yi didn't even glance at her, and directly invited Lu Zhi Qin onto the stage.

Swish!

In the banquet hall, the lights everywhere else suddenly went out, leaving only one spotlight illuminating Luo Zhiqin in the crowd.

Luo Zhiqin walked gracefully onto the stage, a subtle smile playing on her lips. She stood beside Luo Yi and eloquently recounted how she had secured the project, outlining the next steps for the Luo Group. All the credit was now hers.

Luo Ningxi was so angry that her whole body trembled, she couldn't hear a word!

She still thought that she had won the cooperation project of Shengshi Group, and Luo Yi would look at her with admiration. Unexpectedly, it was all wishful thinking!

I don't know what Luo Zhiqin said on stage. Luo Ningxi only heard the guests around her clapping and cheering constantly, and some people were discussing that Luo Zhiqin was graceful and beautiful, a heavenly jewel. Being able to get engaged to Yu family's young master was a perfect match...

Then, when she was completely unsuspecting, the spotlight suddenly shone on her.

"Seeing the stage, Luo Zhiqin opened her mouth and said, “The achievement I have today, I am most grateful to my sister Ningxi! Although we are not from the same mother, we have always been very close. Some time ago, Ningxi’s relationship wasn't going well, and I was particularly worried, but luckily she has now found a good partner. I sincerely bless her! So, I think this first opening dance tonight, I will leave it to her and her brother-in-law to perform together!”

"Brother-in-law Miss Luo Er is married"

"Who is her husband"

"I heard that Sheng Kai was interested in marrying into the Luo family. She couldn't have married him…"

"Don't talk nonsense! I saw Sheng Kai walking away angrily. If they were truly getting married, he wouldn't leave!"

……

Countless eyes were focused on him, and Luo Ningxi once again became the center of attention! maids at home left with Luo Yi, only Liu Shannu was left.Aunt Liu used to live with Mother Luo at the Luo family for decades. Luo Ningxi asked her to stay and look after the house, with the same sala...
