The CEO admires the strong? I have been able to breathe independently since I was a child

Lu Lihuai couldn't get a word in. After they finally stopped talking, he quickly said, "Aunt Jiang, it's been a long time."

Jiang Wan: "Indeed. Where is Li Qi?"

Lu Lihuai: "He...went to the backyard."

Jiang Wan: "I see. If he were here, I would beat him to death and leave my female companion alone to worry about it."

Lu Lihuai's breathing stagnated, his face changed, his lips trembled but he couldn't say anything.

It is very unlucky to mention the word death at a birthday party.

Jiang Wan was not from an ordinary family, so she must have known this. She must have been extremely angry and unable to maintain her composure when she said this.

She hated it most when others cried and acted weak to gain sympathy, but when she dealt with the matter of Li Qi and Lu Lihuai ten years ago, she saw what top-notch crying scenes and entanglements were.

There is no doubt that Jiang Wan doesn't like Lu Lihuai.

"Wanwan~~" Li Yingzhi walked over with a wine glass.

He has a tough and handsome appearance, with a straight nose, thick eyebrows, high brow arches, and eyebrows that seem to overshadow his eyes. At first glance, people would think that this person is not easy to approach.

He is a mature and steady man who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Chi Xiao sighed inwardly.

People say that Li He looks like his father, and now that I see him, the rumors are truly verified.

Very similar.

Li Yingzhi's sharp eyes instantly became gentle when he saw Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan responded and introduced Chi Xiao with a smile, "My husband."

Just three simple words, Li Yingzhi lowered his eyes, feeling secretly happy for a moment.

Chi Xiao: "Uncle Li."

Li Yin: "Hello, uncle."

Chi said: "Uncle Li."

Lu Lihuai: "Good evening, Uncle Li."

"Yes," Li Yingzhi nodded, then looked at Jiang Wan, "Accompany me to receive the guests. There are so many people, I'm a bit overwhelmed."

Jiang Wan gently shook her head and refused, "I'm chatting with Xiaoxiao, please go aside."

Li Yingzhi felt unhappy for a moment.

The lady bossed the master around in a domineering manner. The master was unhappy but didn't dare to say anything. He just stood aside with a frown until Jiang Wan said she was thirsty and handed over the wine.

Then he casually asked, "I don't know where Xiaohe went."

Jiang Wan paused in her drinking, then frowned, feeling a little nervous.

That's not right. Given how clingy Xiao Li is, shouldn't he be standing in front of Xiaoxiao to declare his sovereignty right now?

Why is there no one here now?

He is not a person who does not know the importance of things. Xiaoxiao is such an outstanding girl, and he doesn't know how many suitors she has.

Just take the eldest and second oldest brother for example, if they knew Xiaoxiao's strength, wouldn't they kneel down and kowtow to her and ask for her hand in marriage?!

In the Li family, only the strong can fully gain her favor.

But now, the situation is reversed.

Xiao Li must be tied tightly together with Xiao Xiao.

"Auntie suddenly remembered that she wanted to talk to Xiao Li about life. You two can chat slowly." Jiang Wan nodded, turned around, took Li Yingzhi's hand and left.

Chi Xiao sighed in his heart, what a henpecked man he is.

Chi Dao's eyes were always on Chi Xiao. When he saw a strand of hair falling on her collarbone, he raised his hand and tucked it behind her ear very naturally.

The warm touch made Chi Xiao's heart tremble, and he glanced sideways and called out softly, "Second brother?"

Chi Dao said "hmm", "Are you hungry?"

...So everyone already knows that she's a glutton.

"A little bit, but I want to wait for Wang Qi to come and eat together." Eating and chatting at the same time doubled the emotional value experience. "Where's my brother?"

Normally he would always stay around her, calling her sister all the time, but why has he been acting so abnormal these days?

Chi Dao looked in one direction, and Chi Xiao followed his gaze. There was someone sitting on a chair, staring at the wine in his hand with a depressed look, as if his soul was out of his body.

"He has been in this position for over half an hour."

Li Yin was experienced and saw the clues at once, "They're in love."

Chi Xiao nodded, "And he had a fight with his girlfriend."

Li Yin: "It seems they haven't reconciled yet."

Chi Xiao: "It must be the man's fault."

The two reached a consensus, "Scumbag."

Chi Dao remained silent.

His face was calm, as if no matter what happened, it had nothing to do with him, and his mind was only affected by one person.

An old butler with a distinguished demeanor and dressed in a modern Chinese suit stepped forward and said respectfully, "Miss Chi, the master and the old lady invite you to the backyard for a chat."

The voice was neither loud nor soft, but exceptionally steady and powerful.

Lu Lihuai suddenly lost control and pinched his thigh to prevent himself from crying out.

The guests around heard it and whispered to each other.

"The banquet hasn't even started yet, why did the two elders of the Li family invite her?"

"Haven't you heard? The Chi and Li families are getting married. Besides the birthday banquet, the highlight of tonight is also the engagement banquet."

"I'm really impressed. What's so good about her? She looks like a foxy girl. No matter how she pretends, she doesn't have the demeanor of a rich lady. She has the temperament of a gangster."

"How can the Chi family, a nouveau riche, have the nerve to marry into the Li family? Isn't this ruining the Li family's reputation?"

"I hope she has self-awareness and won't get entangled with any man in the Li family."

"What are you afraid of? Maybe we'll go our separate ways after marriage. Who knows?"

"Everyone, there is only one engaged. No matter which one it is, the remaining two young talents are definitely role models for choosing a husband."

……

Chi Xiao nodded, "Please lead the way."

Lu Lihuai smiled bitterly.

The amateur she looked down upon was the eldest daughter, and she was the eldest daughter who was married to the Li family.

She only knows everything now!

Among the three brothers of the Li family, the marriage partner must not be Li Qi!

If it really was him, then the carefully planned first meeting seemed like a joke at this moment!

Under the guidance of the old housekeeper, not long after she walked out of the back door, two figures suddenly appeared behind her.

His movements were furtive, but his body stood straight and upright.

A very contrived way to make an appearance.

The old butler's name is Muchen. He has been following Mr. Li and taking care of affairs since he was in his teens. People call him Uncle Mu.

Uncle Mu stopped and turned to stop Li Qi and Li Ge. "Young Masters, the master and the old lady specifically instructed us not to see Miss Chi. Please don't embarrass me."

Li Ge: "I just happened to need to visit my grandparents for something, so I stopped by."

Li Qi: "Me too."

Uncle Mu said kindly, "Don't worry, the young master is not here either."

Then they were completely relieved.

Mr. Li's status in the family is well known and no one can shake it.

Having said that, the two had no choice but to watch Chi Xiao leave.

Chi Xiao was curious, but since they were not familiar with each other, why did Chi Dao have to meet in private? He even refused to let Chi Dao follow.

Mysterious.

Rich families have many rules, especially at such a grand banquet, where no mistakes can be made.

In order to maintain my figure while wearing this complicated dress, I didn't have a full meal at noon.

The upper part of the dress was too tight, and Wang Qi would nag her if she showed even a little bit of fat.

I'm so hungry and exhausted.

By the way, we have to do makeup and styling at the same time, why hasn’t she come yet?

"Miss Chi, don't worry. The master and the old lady like you very much. They want to meet you this time to reminisce about the past."

Does she seem afraid of people?

"Thanks for reminding."

Not far away, two women, one old and one young, were standing by the door.

The older one was probably in his sixties, wearing an indigo suit. He was calm and composed, with a sharp look in his eyes.

He is a martial artist, so his kung fu should be pretty good.

Although he is young, he looks almost as old as Changshou, and he is calm and composed.

The two look very similar, they must be mother and daughter.

Seeing Mu Chen, Yang Shen nodded.

Mu Chen also nodded and knocked on the door, "Master and Madam, Miss Chi is here."

There was a sudden flurry of movement from inside, and the sound of dishes and chopsticks swaying.

Chi Xiao became more and more curious.

What's this for?
