Chapter 156 Don't Despise

Sun Yan smiled at Zhao Zhisheng and said, "Mr. Zhao, with the rain pouring down like this outside, why don't you stay for lunch? It's just that our meals are quite simple here, I hope you won't mind."

There was a hint of cajoling in her voice, not at all like that of an elder, but rather like that of a submissive servant.

Zhao Zhisheng glanced at her then turned his attention back to the television, completely ignoring Li Chuyue, and then, with a pretense of concern, looked out the window and smiled, "Yes, this downpour started in the middle of the night yesterday. According to the weather forecast, it seems like it will continue until this afternoon before it stops. Since that's the case, I'll take the liberty of joining you for lunch. I'm not picky about food; I can eat anything."

Li Chuyue frowned slightly, clearly reluctant, and said, "Mom, the rain started last night. Mr. Zhao was able to come here this morning despite the heavy rain, so leaving now won't be troublesome. You should let him be; he might have other things to take care of."

"You impudent girl, how can you speak like that!!" Sun Yan glared fiercely at Li Chuyue and scolded, "Where does Mr. Zhao fall short?? He likes you, so why don't you just give it a try and stop pulling that long face!! You mentioned you would bring a boyfriend home, where did that end up?? Where's this boyfriend??"

Li Chuyue frowned, choosing not to respond. When it came to arguments, she couldn't win against her stepmother—any comeback might lead the other to nag all day long.

Since her return yesterday, Sun Yan had been incessantly praising Zhao Zhisheng's excellence and virtues in her ear, to the point of causing her an actual earache.

Seeing that Li Chuyue was ignoring her, Sun Yan's expression soured, and she glared at her husband Li Pengcheng, saying,

"Can't you control your daughter?? What's wrong with Mr. Zhao, where does he not match up to her?? Don't tell me she actually thinks because she's a bit pretty, she can look down on everyone??"

Li Pengcheng had once been a successful entrepreneur. In his youth, he started and succeeded in business, and was a boss—but after Li Chuyue's mother passed away, his company also collapsed during the financial crisis, leaving him quiet and reserved.

He seldom argued with Sun Yan, after all, she had shared his hardships and given birth to a son-a daughter for him.

But regarding Li Chuyue, he also felt some heartache; he understood his daughter had not had it easy over the years.

Li Chuyue had excellent academic results in high school, but she dropped out directly to help her younger brother and sister to continue their education and went to Shenming City.

It was by working as a model and sending money home consistently that he managed to repay the tens of thousands he owed his friends from the company's collapse, and now he even started a small convenience store that allowed for a somewhat comfortable life.

"Let Chuyue decide on her marriage by herself, I won't interfere with her decisions; as long as she's happy," Li Pengcheng said softly.

Hearing these words, Li Chuyue felt a warmth in her heart and was moved. At least, her father still cared about her.

However, Sun Yan glared disapprovingly at Li Pengcheng and said irritably, "What do you mean 'let her decide on her own'?? What does she know? She might end up with some low-level worker, earning just a few thousand a month. Can that compare with Mr. Zhao?? She's so beautiful, has such good assets, not using them would be foolish!"

Li Meilin, Li Chuyue's half-sister, sneered sarcastically, saying, "Mom, why bother worrying?? My sister might even look down on Mr. Zhao!! You said it, she's so pretty, maybe she thinks too highly of herself!!"

Li Meilin was quite attractive, though her and her mother's looks carried a somewhat mean edge.

She had always been extremely jealous of Li Chuyue; whenever she was with Li Chuyue, she could never get half the attention and would always be in her sister's shadow.

Her academic performance was poor, and in the end, she chose to go to nursing school.

And even the tuition and living expenses for nursing school were provided by Li Chuyue; however, this did not make her feel the slightest bit grateful towards her sister; it only fueled more jealousy.

In her opinion, if she had Li Chuyue's figure and beauty, she could also make a lot of money with a few photo shoots, with no need to work as a mere nurse in a county hospital!!

Li Chuyue, angered, looked at Li Meilin and said, "Meilin, I'm your sister. Do you talk to your sister this way?? How am I acting like I'm above everyone else?"

"Alright, no more fighting!!"

Sun Yan looked at Li Chuyue with an unquestionable tone, saying, "Chuyue, once the rain stops, you'll go on a date with Mr. Zhao. I'll be the one deciding on this matter!! Mr. Zhao's company has so much going on every day, and the fact that he leaves all that to come to our home shows his sincerity, doesn't it?? He's so young and already worth millions; he's more than enough for you!!"

Zhao Zhisheng, young as he was, had already built up a fortune worth millions, and his family background wasn't bad either; in Sun Yan's eyes, such a man was undoubtedly the best possible son-in-law.

Zhao Zhisheng replied with a modest smile, "Aunt Sun, please stop calling me Mr. Zhao, it's too formal. Just call me Zhisheng. Actually, the size of my company and how much money it makes are secondary—the main thing is that I truly like Chuyue."

He turned a sincere look towards Li Chuyue and said, "Chuyue, I am earnest about you. Please, give me a chance."

The moment he saw Li Chuyue's photo, he was captivated. She was like a beautiful, sultry goddess from his dreams, incomparable to any woman from a small county town. Therefore, he was determined to have her.

And now, with Li Chuyue's family almost entirely on his side, in his eyes, winning her over was inevitable.

Li Chuyue was about to speak, frowning.

Just then, there was the sound of someone knocking at the door.

Everyone in the house was startled, and they all looked toward the storm raging outside—it was not a time when you would normally expect friends or relatives to visit.

"I'll go open the door."

Li Chuyue stood up and said she really didn't want to continue the conversation anymore.

As she walked towards the door, she thought about how to send Zhao Zhisheng away.

The door opened, and a face full of rainwater appeared before her eyes.

Li Chuyue looked at the face that had appeared in her dream last night and was stunned.

"Liu… Liu Wentian?? Is it really you?? You came to find me??" Li Chuyue said in disbelief, her eyes slowly turning red, looking like she was about to cry.

These past two days, she had been wondering if Liu Wentian would come to find her, and now he really had arrived, looking so drenched and wretched, Li Chuyue was touched and sweet at the same time.

But then, Liu Wentian let out a cold snort and picked her up, walking inside the door.

"Ah!! Liu Wentian, what are you doing??"

Li Chuyue was startled but seeing Liu Wentian's angry look, she felt a bit scared.

Liu Wentian didn't care the ground was a bit dirty; he was already a drenched chicken, so what was there to fear about dirt.

He sat down on the ground and pressed Li Chuyue on his lap.

He raised his hand and slapped her on the buttocks.

Smack!!

"That's for leaving without saying goodbye!!"

Smack!!

"That's for refusing to return to Shenming City!!"

Smack!!

"That's for returning my Ferrari to me!!"

Smack!!

"That's for your phone being unreachable!!"

Smack!!

"..."

"Ah!! Stop… stop hitting me, you little brat; you ran off kissing another girl, yet you blame me!! Waaa… you little brat! You big pervert!!"

Li Chuyue was feeling so wronged but secretly a bit happy that Liu Wentian was so angry. Her buttocks were getting slapped, and she felt so weak, without any strength left.

"Kissing? She kissed me, okay? I was wronged too! I was just pretending to be her boyfriend! I told you before that I was Bai Ruguo's bodyguard, but you just wouldn't believe it! Moreover, when you saw me kissing her, why didn't you come and confront me? Instead, you sneaked away. What were you thinking? Going home for an arranged marriage??"

The more Liu Wentian spoke, the angrier he became. He raised his hand for another slap, no matter what, this time he was determined to discipline her properly, to teach Li Chuyue a lesson; otherwise, in the future, she might just run off whenever something happened, and that would never do!!

"You… you really are Bai Ruguo's bodyguard, and you were just pretending to be her boyfriend??"

When Li Chuyue heard Liu Wentian's words, she was stunned, then her face lit up with joy, completely forgetting that Liu Wentian was currently spanking her.

Liu Wentian didn't reply and just delivered another slap.

Smack!!

"Ah!! Liu Wentian, stop… can't you stop, I admit I was wrong. Little brat, you mustn't hit anymore, Sister Yueyue apologizes, okay??" Li Chuyue's face was flushed with a hint of pleading. Read new chapters at empire

Liu Wentian snorted, "What's wrong with spanking you?? Don't you realize that I drove from Shenming City last night, for over ten hours without food, drink, or sleep, and when I got here, I didn't know the way, wandering around asking for directions, getting drenched in the rain until I found this place!! And I'm wronging you by spanking you??"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he raised his hand for another slap.

Smack!!

Li Chuyue's face was filled with emotion, and after a moment of thought, she blushed slightly and pushed her buttocks out a bit, her voice carrying a hint of sweetness, "Did you really drive over ten hours to get here??"

"Of course! Do you not understand that I'm cold, hungry, and sleepy right now??"
