?Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Negotiating with the Li Family Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Negotiating with the Li Family Women can only truly be dealt with by other women, and Luo Qiluo was intimidated by her assertiveness, leaning backward as she spoke incoherently, “What now, you want to hit me, is that it? I’ll have you know, I’m not afraid of you.”
Lin Na’s hand was already raised high, but was pped down by He Xing, who rebuked her coldly, “Are you here to solve the problem, or to exacerbate the conflict?”
With just one sentence, Lin Na was rendered speechless. She really wanted to retort against He Xing, but for some reason, after so many years of reigning over the Entertainment circle, fearless of both heaven and earth, she felt somewhat afraid of He Xing.
Lin Na stood unwillingly behind He Xing, resolutely deciding not to speak recklessly anymore.
Having not been pped, Luo Qiluo’s courage grew considerably, and with her husband and son both present, she wasn’t afraid of He Xing either. She stood up facing He Xing directly, “Mr. He, our Li Family has no business dealings with your He Family, nor do we have any personal connections. You are not wee here, please leave.”
“I’m not here for you.” He Xing didn’t even nce at Luo Qiluo, his gaze sweeping over her head directly to Luo Qinghe, who was sitting on the hospital bed, “Luo Qinghe, you know about the stuff on the inte, right? What’s your take on the matter?”
Luo Qinghe withdrew his gaze from looking out the window, his eyes showing a moment of bewilderment before he slowly began to speak, “What’s your n to deal with it?”
Although his response wasn’t a perfect answer, it wasn’t bad either.
He Xingid out the solution he had formted in his mind, “This happened while you and Bai Wei were dating, and you did something to wrong her. Now, she is being med and insulted because of it. As a man, you should take the responsibility you’re supposed to bear and hold a press conference to clear things up.”
The wind blew in from the wide-open window; it was nearly summer, but the wind still carried a chill, causing a tingling sensation on the scalp.
Luo Qinghe rubbed his arms, speaking as if he didn’t much care, “Sure, you arrange it, and I will exin everything clearly.”
He Xing wasn’t expecting Luo Qinghe to agree so readily, and he was so surprised that he was momentarily frozen.
This time Lin Na reacted quickly, her face breaking into a beaming smile, “Organizing a press conference is easy. I can arrange it with just one phone call. Mr. Luo, on behalf of our Bai Wei, I want to say thank you.”
However, before Luo Qinghe could respond, Luo Qiluo stood up abruptly, speaking righteously, “No way, I absolutely disagree with Qinghe holding a press conference.”
“Why?” Lin Na once again opened her eyes wide, staring at Luo Qiluo like a frog, looking as if she wished she could swallow Luo Qiluo whole.
Luo Qiluo stood tall and proud facing Lin Na, and although her slender and tall figure had no advantage in front of Lin Na, her momentum was not overshadowed.
“Why? Just because you say Qinghe and Bai Wei were dating, they were dating? I, as a mother, never knew they were in a rtionship. Besides, I’ve told Qinghe long ago that I do not like girls from the Entertainment circle, and I absolutely will not allow Qinghe and Bai Wei to be together. Mr. He here has heard this with his own ears, hasn’t he?”
“Is that so?” Lin Na pushed up her ck-framed sses, herrge eyes looking at He Xing as if her expressions were saying, “If you dare say yes, then I’ll eat you alive.”
Unfortunately, her deadly gaze and expressive demeanor had no effect because He Xingpletely ignored her.
He Xing kept the same unppable expression as if Mount Tai were copsing before him, looking at Luo Qinghe, “Luo Qinghe, on the sixth day of the first lunar month I indeed heard your mother say that at your house, but you are almost thirty years old and long weaned. You should decide your own matters. Now, in the presence of your parents, tell us the truth: have you been with Bai Wei or not?”
All eyes were on Luo Qinghe, but his gaze was on his hands, wrapped inyers of bandages.
During the car ident, he instinctively protected Bai Wei’s head, and she did the same for his. In the end, both of their arms suffered severe impacts and broke, but their heads were fine, with only mild concussions.
The memory abruptly stopped, and Luo Qinghe’s gaze shifted from his mother to his father, and finally to He Xing, saying word by word, “Bai Wei and I started dating on the second day of the first lunar month. I have nothing to do with Qin Xiaonian. I don’t know what really happened yesterday, but I’m willing to hold a press conference to exin everything. If people want to curse, they can curse at me alone, but don’t curse Bai Wei.”
Lin Na’s spirits rose again, her smile directed at Luo Qiluo, “Mrs. Li, I understand now, it’s you who doesn’t like Bai Wei, but your son does like her; you can’t look down on celebrities too much, can you? If you hadn’t been a model participating in fashion shows, could you have met Mr. Li? Without meeting Mr. Li, you’d probably still be a minor model.”
As she said “minor model,” her face showed undisguised contempt.
Now the person who was hopping mad became Luo Qiluo. She walked towards Lin Na with clenched teeth, her face devoid of any of the permanence of a noblewoman’sposure.
“Enough!” Li Huazhi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. He stood between Luo Qiluo and Lin Na, stating unequivocally, “Since Qinghe says Bai Wei is his girlfriend, let him handle this matter. We shouldn’t interfere.”
“Handle it himself?” Luo Qiluo’s face twisted with anger as she forcefully shook off Li Huazhi’s hand, “I absolutely do not agree to him spilling everything; if he remains silent now, people will only say that Bai Wei is a homewrecker, but if he speaks up, he’ll bebeled as a two-timer. How can he face anyone after that?”
“I’ve said it, I have nothing to do with Qin Xiaonian.” Luo Qinghe’s face turned cold, his hands clenched into fists, making a cracking sound.
“Foolish son, don’t you see that they don’t believe it?” Luo Qiluo threw herself in front of Luo Qinghe’s bed, a face full of frustration.
“A man should speak up even if others don’t believe him, shouldn’t he?” Li Huazhi snorted coldly, still with the air of a family patriarch, “Qinghe is almost thirty years old. He should take responsibility for his actions. If he can’t even protect his girlfriend, he doesn’t deserve to be a part of our Li Family.”
Luo Qiluo felt thest bit of her rationality crumble with these words, jumping up like a dog whose tail had been stepped on, “Li Huazhi, do you think I don’t know why you’re saying this? If Bai Wei’s mother wasn’t Bai Qian, would you really care about Bai Wei’s well-being? How caring and righteous you are! She isn’t your daughter, yet for her sake, you’re willing to disregard your own son.”
