The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Two minutes ago, Lin Ruoqi had just entered the living room with tea when she heard Old Madam Li say that Li Zhanting was already married. Her face immediately turned pale, and her hands trembled as she dropped what she was holding.

marry?

How could he get married?

Didn't he say he never wanted to get married in his life?

Why did things turn out like this? Why did Li Zhanting betray her?

Jiang Meiling waited for a while, but seeing that Lin Ruoqi was still standing there like a fool, she thought that her words had been ignored. Angered, she shouted again, "I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"

Lin Ruoqi only snapped out of her daze when she heard her mother-in-law Jiang Meiling's angry rebuke. "Ah... I'm sorry, Mom, I accidentally slipped."

"What do you mean 'slipped'? I think you're not even thinking about this. What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get a rag and clean this place up!" Jiang Meiling still harbored resentment towards Lin Ruoqi because of the incident where her eldest son, Li Yanchen, was in a car accident while saving Lin Ruoqi. So she couldn't stand anything Lin Ruoqi did, and her words were naturally not pleasant to hear.

Sun Mingyan always doted on the younger generation in her family. Although she knew that Ruo'er was angry with Lin Ruoqi, she couldn't help but speak up in her defense: "Meiling, what are you doing? Ruo'er didn't do it on purpose. You can say a few words and that's fine. No matter what, she is Yan'er's wife and the eldest young mistress of our Li family. She is not your servant. Come here, Ruo'er, come to Grandma's side."

Seeing that Sun Mingyan had already said so much, Jiang Meiling naturally couldn't order Lin Ruoqi to do anything anymore, but she still glared at her and said, "Didn't you hear your grandma calling you? Go over there."

Lin Ruoqi looked at Sun Mingyan gratefully, "Grandma... I'm sorry for interrupting you just now."

The butler, Han Shengli, who had been waiting quietly to the side, immediately called the servants to clean up the broken pieces on the ground after seeing Lin Ruoqi leave. He then poured several new cups of tea and sent them over.

Sun Mingyan nodded in satisfaction. "Old Han, you don't need to do anything here. Go and rest for a while."

"Yes, Madam." Han Shengli, with great tact, dismissed all the servants so as not to interrupt the conversation of the masters.

Li Zhongnan continued the previous topic, once again confirming with his parents, "Dad, Mom, are you really sure Zhan Ting's marriage certificate is real? It looks fake to me."

"Really, really, Zhan'er himself admitted it and promised to bring his new wife over in a little while. How could it be fake? If you still don't believe me, just wait for them to come and ask them yourselves." Sun Mingyan didn't want to waste any more words explaining to them; she believed it was true anyway.

Jiang Meiling didn't actually disbelieve that the marriage certificate was real; she just couldn't believe that her outstanding son had married just any woman!

Throughout Haicheng, and even the entire country, she had already investigated almost all the women who were worthy of the Li family, and had her eye on a few. This time, she returned to the country ahead of schedule to arrange blind dates for Li Zhanting.

But they never expected that they would get such a result after returning to China.

She had never even heard of Shen Yanran, so how could she possibly allow her to marry into the Li family!

Lin Ruoqi, who remained silent at this moment, also did not want Shen Yanran to appear in the Li family.

Jiang Meiling may not have heard of Shen Yanran's name, but she had heard of her long ago. What right did a woman who was disliked by her family, promiscuous, and had a bad reputation have to marry into the Li family?

But that's fine too. Given her fragile reputation, Jiang Meiling will kick her out without her even lifting a finger.

So Li Zhanting ultimately belongs to her!

Just as Lin Ruoqi was about to tell Jiang Meiling about some of the bad rumors surrounding Shen Yanran in Haicheng, a gentle and refined voice suddenly came from behind everyone, "Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, what are you talking about, believing or not believing? What happened to Zhan Ting?"

Everyone turned around at the sound and saw a young man dressed in casual clothes, sitting in a wheelchair, who looked somewhat similar to Li Zhanting, slowly walking over.

As soon as Jiang Meiling saw Li Yanchen appear, she said with a pained expression, "Yan'er, why did you come downstairs? Didn't the doctor tell you to rest in bed after you returned to China?"

Li Zhanting shook his head indifferently and said, "Mom, I've rested enough, I'm fine. But you don't look too good. What's wrong? Did Zhanting upset you again?"

Jiang Meiling sighed helplessly, "It's your good brother! He's really infuriating! He didn't tell anyone and got married on his own, and he even brought that woman here. Can you believe it!"

My brother got married?

Li Yanchen was indeed very surprised. He thought that his younger brother, who didn't care about anything, would never be bound by marriage in his life. He didn't expect that he would get married as soon as he came back after only three months abroad.

"Zhan Ting's marriage is a good thing, Mom. You've always hoped he would get married soon, you should be happy for him." Li Yanchen was genuinely happy for his younger brother.

Li Zhongnan said with a displeased look, "What's so good about it? Neither you nor your brother give me any peace of mind!"

One man's life was ruined because of a woman in a car accident, and the other man took it upon himself to marry just any woman. Will the Li family ever amount to anything in the future?

Jiang Meiling felt sorry for her son and naturally didn't want her husband to scold her. "Alright, let's talk about Zhan Ting. What's wrong with you, Yan Chen? No matter who that woman is, as long as she's not someone our Li family needs, kick her out immediately and make Zhan Ting divorce her!"

"Mom, this isn't right. Zhan Ting finally found a woman he likes and got married. We should support him. How can we let him get a divorce so easily?" This was supposed to be a happy occasion, but Li Yanchen couldn't understand why his mother was so angry when she hadn't even met the girl.

"Who knows if that woman used some underhanded methods to force Zhan Ting to marry her?" Jiang Meiling said stubbornly.

Hearing Li Yanchen's words, Lin Ruoqi frowned, walked over, took his hand, and shook her head slightly, saying, "Brother Chen, what Mom said makes sense. Nowadays, women will use any means to marry into a wealthy family. Zhan Ting might really be deceived by that woman. You'd better not worry about it."

Since the car accident, Li Yanchen has rarely cared about family matters. He spends his days either reading in his room or undergoing rehabilitation treatment at the hospital, leading a mundane and boring life.

Now that the family finally has a new member and can enjoy the festivities, they never expected that the girl named Shen Yanran would face such opposition from her parents before they even met, and even his wife disapproved...

After listening for a while, Li Shengtian finally couldn't help but explode, "Fine, I don't care if you're really doing this for Li Zhanting's own good. Anyway, he's already married, and no one can change that fact. Unless he wants a divorce himself, no one should try to cause me any trouble. If any of you delay me from holding my great-grandson, I'll never forgive you!"

After Old Master Li made his statement, Li Zhongnan and Jiang Meiling naturally dared not say anything more in front of the two old men, and could only think of a solution behind their backs.

But when it comes to great-grandchildren...

Everyone's expression turned somewhat grim, especially Lin Ruoqi. She had been married into the Li family for three whole years and had taken countless Chinese and Western medicines, but her stomach showed no signs of pregnancy.

But this was all Jiang Meiling's doing. She knew that Li Yanchen had been in a car accident and that in addition to his leg injury, he was also injured in that area. However, she refused to admit it and instead blamed all the responsibility on Lin Ruoqi.

It's her fault for not having a son, which delayed the Li family from continuing the family line.

Li Yanchen had talked to Jiang Meiling about this countless times, telling her that the root of the problem lay with him and that she should stop forcing Lin Ruoqi to see a doctor and take medicine. He suggested that they could live their lives like this, or if things got really bad, they could adopt a child. But Jiang Meiling just wouldn't believe him and continued to do things her own way.

Lin Ruoqi's originally beautiful face turned pale at this moment. It wasn't that she didn't want to have children, but that Li Yanchen simply couldn't. Every month, she had sex with him like a routine, which was torture for her.

She even considered having a child with another man outside, but she was afraid that if the Li family found out that the child wasn't Li Yanchen's, she would never have a chance to turn her life around!

So the best solution is for Li Zhanting to have a child with her. After all, they loved each other so much before, and even if it wasn't for her own sake, he would agree for the sake of the Li family and Li Yanchen.

But then Shen Yanran suddenly appeared, how could she not hate her!

She even wished that Shen Yanran would be hit by a car and killed as soon as she stepped out the door!

Li Yanchen noticed the change in Lin Ruoqi beside him. Seeing how pale she looked, he thought that her grandfather's words had hurt her, so he immediately comforted her gently, "Qiqi, don't take it to heart. Grandpa was just anxious, that's why he said those things. Don't mind it."

Lin Ruoqi composed herself and said, pretending not to care, "It's okay, I know Grandpa didn't mean it."

"I'm sorry, Qiqi. You've suffered because of me." Li Yanchen reached out and gently wrapped his hands around Lin Ruoqi's cold little hands, saying with heartache.

A bitter smile appeared on Lin Ruoqi's fair and beautiful face. "How could I feel wronged? You're so good to me."

Blame it on the unfairness of fate. She sacrificed her love for the Lin family, thinking that by marrying the eldest grandson of the Li family, the first heir of Shengtian International, she could live a life of supreme power.

Unexpectedly, a car accident a year ago left Li Yanchen seriously injured. Not only did he lose both legs, but even having children became a problem, depriving her of the opportunity to gain status through her child and forcing her to live under Jiang Meiling's thumb every day.

She'd really had enough of this kind of life!

So why should a lowly woman like Shen Yanran get what she can't have?

A flash of resentment crossed Lin Ruoqi's face, but she had already begun to plan how to deal with Shen Yanran.
