142: Would you like to

Li Qingzhi was stunned. She had never been hit by her parents since she was little.

But now, her own mother had actually slapped her because of Chen Tianming.

"This is too much! What is Chen Tianming to her?"

"She's your own daughter!"

"You're hitting your own daughter for an outsider. Don't you feel any heartache?"

Ai Yun couldn't stand it.

She had grown up with her master since childhood and was with her junior brother.

She valued family ties quite a bit.

But she didn't expect that her words would only earn her a glare from Zhao Lan.

"And what are you? Our family matters, do you need to meddle?"

"And you, your name is Xia Xuan, right? I advise you to stay away from my daughter."

"If you upset Chen Shao, don't blame me for not warning you; you might not even know how you died then."

Zhao Lan's words made Xia Xuan's face flush.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and come with me."

Before anyone could react, Zhao Lan pulled Li Qingzhi away.

When Chen Tianming saw Li Qingzhi,

Li Qingzhi's face had lost all its vibrancy, and her lowered head made Chen Tianming feel pity for her.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and greet Chen Shao."

Seeing that Li Qingzhi didn't speak, Zhao Lan nudged her.

But Li Qingzhi seemed not to hear, standing there blankly, which made Zhao Lan a bit awkward.

"Chen Shao, Qingzhi she..."

"It's okay, I understand, you don't need to explain."

Li Dong wanted to say something more, but Chen Tianming directly interrupted him.

Li Qingzhi didn't expect Chen Tianming not to blame her, and couldn't help but glance at Chen Tianming again.

At this moment, she was standing to Chen Tianming's side.

Under the morning sun, Chen Tianming's entire figure appeared exceptionally tall and straight.

Although Li Qingzhi had no good impression of Chen Tianming,

from this angle, she still found him somewhat handsome.

"Chen Shao, don't stay here anymore. We're all ready, let's go sit down first."

Seeing that Chen Tianming wasn't upset, Li Dong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly changed the subject.

After they went to the living room and sat down, Li Dong personally prepared tea for Chen Tianming.

Li Dong had originally thought Chen Tianming would be the last to arrive.

He didn't expect him to come so early.

This also caused some problems with his plan.

But seeing that Chen Tianming didn't seem angry, and was instead smiling, Li Dong felt much more at ease.

"This must be Chen Shao, he's truly dashing."

Those who had already arrived, seeing Chen Tianming sitting in the main seat, began to flatter him.

"He's simply charming and unrestrained."

"In my opinion, you won't find anyone in the entire Alliance as young, promising, and outstanding in temperament as Chen Shao."

"I've long heard that Chen Shao is approachable; it's truly our honor to meet him today."

"Indeed, I've longed to meet Chen Shao for a long time. Now that I've seen him, I have no regrets in this life."

Listening to everyone's exaggerated words, Chen Tianming didn't say a word, just sat there composedly.

But even so, everyone felt he was even more unfathomable.

In this strange atmosphere, most of the guests Li Dong invited had arrived.

Li Dong then cleared his throat, intending to say a few words.

"Today is a joyous day for our Li family!"

Li Dong's first sentence almost made everyone spit out their tea.

"Of course, this great joy doesn't refer to my daughter's marriage."

"Rather, it's something even more joyful than my daughter's marriage, and that is the arrival of Chen Tianming, Chen Shao."

"As everyone knows, I wasn't feeling well some time ago and went to the Hospital."

"Thanks to Chen Shao, I walked back from the gates of hell. Here, I want to solemnly thank Chen Shao."

"Additionally, I plan to marry my daughter, Li Qingzhi, to Chen Shao!"

As soon as Li Dong finished speaking, everyone was suddenly startled.

The Li family, in the entire Demon Capital, was not considered a major family.

But if Chen Tianming really became his son-in-law, the situation would be vastly different.

Even if Li Qingzhi was just one of Chen Tianming's lovers,

that would also have a different meaning.

At that time, the entire Demon Capital's sky might change.

This made everyone admire Li Dong somewhat. It must be said that Li Dong seized the opportunity very well, managing to connect with Chen Tianming with just this much.

"Of course, this matter still needs to ask for Chen Shao's own opinion."

Li Dong had no intention of being presumptuous, and immediately looked respectfully at Chen Tianming.

"Chen Shao, I wonder if you are willing?"

Chen Tianming had been listening the whole time, and when Chen Dong asked him, he immediately nodded.

"Of course I'm willing to marry a girl like Qingzhi."

"However, getting married is a bit early. We can start by dating and talk about it once we have an emotional foundation."

Hearing Chen Tianming say this, Li Dong immediately understood his meaning.

"Of course, of course, Chen Shao, this is as it should be."

"As expected of Chen Shao, he thinks of everything."

"Congratulations, Family Head Li, Qingzhi has good fortune."

Both the Li family members and the other guests who came to the banquet began to praise him.

Only Li Qingzhi sat blankly in her seat, lost in thought.

Just when everyone thought that Li Qingzhi and Chen Tianming being together was a foregone conclusion,

a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"I disagree!"

The few simple words were spoken very firmly, even with a certain penetrating power.

This made everyone look towards the door in shock.

They wanted to see who was so bold as to dare to oppose Chen Tianming's matter.

At the entrance of the living room, a young man slowly walked in.

And by his side, a graceful figure followed closely.

It was Xia Xuan and his senior sister Ai Yun.

"How dare you! Do you have a right to speak here? Get out!"

Li Chen, seeing that it was these two, quickly reprimanded them.

This made everyone react and start whispering among themselves.

"Where did this guy come from? How bold!"

"He even dares to meddle in Chen Shao's affairs. Doesn't he know how terrifying Chen Shao is?"

"This is purely a hothead, daring to object for a woman, and even bringing it up on the spot."

"What a pity, he looks handsome but has no brains."

Listening to the crowd's whispers, Xia Xuan was not affected in the slightest. He stopped only after walking to the center of the hall.

"Li Qingzhi, are you really willing to be with this man?"

Ignoring everyone else, Xia Xuan looked firmly at Li Qingzhi.

"I'm not willing!"

Li Qingzhi's words gave Xia Xuan immense confidence.

This made Xia Xuan slowly look at everyone.

"You all heard it, she's not willing!"
