they discovered that the scuffed leather shoe had been completely crushed by Chen Ping'an, revealing his bloody and mangled toes.That toe was so badly rotted that the bone was clearly visible.“You......In less than ten minutes, Li Ruman's car arrived at the gate of Dihao Grand Hotel. Her mother got out of the passenger seat first, followed by the driver and Li Ruman.

Seeing that Li Mu had also arrived, Chen Pingan looked at Li Ruonan with a puzzled expression.

"My mom insisted on coming along, saying she wanted to see Liu Dàshào win the proxy right of the Southwest King and see me agree to be with Liu Zixuan before she'd feel at ease!"

Li Ruonan shrugged and helplessly explained to Chen Pingan, then tossed the car keys to the hotel valet who ran over to help park.

"Then let's go in!"

Chen Ping'an had nothing else to say, so he could only invite the mother and daughter in together.

When Li Mu saw Chen Ping'an, she let out a cold snort and didn't give him a good look.

Three people were just walking towards the entrance of the Dihao Hotel, and Liu Zixuan, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, ran over excitedly.

"If you're male, mother-in-law, you're here, I've already had people reserve some good spots for us. I'll take you there right now!"

Liu Zixuan automatically ignored Chen Pingan, treating him as air. He enthusiastically greeted Li's mother and daughter instead.

But when Li's mother saw Liu Dashao, she immediately broke into a smile.

"Young Master Liu, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. It's all my fault, this old woman with her aching bones and stiff joints slowed down Ruona. Please don't blame Ruona for being late!"

Li's mother apologized and blamed herself to Liu Dashao again. Her attitude towards him was completely different from when she met Chen Pingan just now, it was like two different people.

"Aunt, what are you saying As a junior, it's my duty to wait for you. Besides, you're not late at all! We agreed to meet at the hotel entrance at nine o'clock, and it's only 8:59 now. It's only one minute away!"

"No more talk, let's get inside quickly!"

Seeing Li's mother so humble and warm, Liu Dashao felt even more confident in pursuing Li Rona.

The security guard at the gate saw Chen Ping'an bow and salute him again.

"Liu Shao, you Liu family's face is really big. Even the hotel security guards see you Liu Shao and bow respectfully like this!"

Li Mu still thought, as before, that the security guards were bowing to Liu Dashao out of face. She kept praising him, and even raised her voice so Chen Ping'an could hear.

At Chen Ping'an’s small gesture for Li Mu, he shook his head.

Li Ruonan frowned, but like her mother, she also thought that the security guards at Dihao Grand Hotel were just bowing to them because Liu Dash Shao had arrived. She couldn't say anything bad about her mother in front of Liu Zixuan.

"That's right, although our Liu family in Jiangzhou isn't as prominent as the three top families - Lu, Zhu, and Liang - we are still a respectable family and would definitely rank among the top ten!"

Encouraged by his mother's praise, Liu Zixuan himself thought that the hotel security guards were bowing to him because of his identity as the young master of the Liu family. He said with a proud face.

After finishing, he still looked at Chen Ping'an with a provocative face, wanting to see if Chen Ping'an would feel inferior when he saw this scene.

To his annoyance, Chen Ping ignored him completely, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

He curiously glanced forward and saw Lu Shao Yuan, the young master of the Lu family, walking towards them with a revealingly dressed, alluring woman and an elderly man in Tang-style clothing.

Liu Dashi was startled. He thought Lu Shao had come to warn him not to compete with the Lu family for the deputy position of the Southwest King, but he didn't want to appear cowardly in front of Li's mother and daughter. He could only grit his teeth and walk forward to greet Lu Shao.

"Lu San Ye, you're here too"

Liu Dashao took a step forward and stood between Chen Ping'an and Li Ruonan, respectfully greeting Lu Shao.

"Who are you A good dog doesn't get in the way, move aside!" Lin Duer, who followed Young Master Lu, directly pushed him to the side.

Then, he walked up to Chen Ping'an with Lu Shao.led the car over to the side of the road and then turned around from the back seat to take out a long, exquisitely made gift box."Here, take this. Tomorrow, we'll go together to celebrate my mother-in...
