on moved her deeply. Plus, these past few days, the thin layer of paper between them felt like it could be pierced at any moment. She nodded resolutely, "Our marriage was a bit hasty, but true feeling..."Today is Lele's birthday, what are you all doing circling me You're all back, everyone's gathered together today..."

Elder Li was supported to the dining table. His benevolent gaze swept across everyone, and when he saw Luo Ningxi, his voice stopped abruptly.

As expected, the joyful atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly turned icy.

"Grandpa, long time no see."

Luningxi got up and gave a polite smile. Her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, calm and composed, with not a trace of fear or timidity.

Old Master Li remained silent, his aged eyes scrutinizing Luo Ningxi with a look that was difficult to decipher.

"Dad, Miss Luo is..."

Li Jiancheng was just about to speak, but Jian Ningyi beat him to it, her beautiful fox eyes narrowing into a slit.

"Dad, Miss Luo is someone I invited. She even designed a longevity lock for our Lolo. I haven't had a chance to see it yet…"

"Second Sister-in-law, don't you know that Miss Luo had some conflicts with the Li family not long ago" Li Jianbin glanced at the old man and spoke seriously.

Ke Jianning was unfazed.

She was only afraid of Old Master Li, who might drive Luo Ningxi out on the spot, causing the plan to fail.

She quickly said, "Brother, you're joking! I don't usually pay attention to the company and have no idea about these things... I just thought Miss Luo's designs were very beautiful, so I asked her to design for Lele. Dad, you wouldn't be upset, would you"

Li Jiancheng also immediately opened his mouth to make amends, "Dad, Jian Ningyi has never been involved in the company. Don't hold it against her..."

Luo Ningxi looked at Jian Ninyi's anxious and nervous appearance, and couldn't help but help her, "Mr. Li, the previous things were all misunderstandings. Taking this opportunity, I also want to clear up this misunderstanding..."

Mr. Li clearly didn't want to hear Luo Ningxi say too much, he waved his hand to interrupt her, "That's enough, today is a family dinner, don't bring up company matters. Since Miss Luo designed a gift for Lele, then take it out and have a look."

Jian Ningyi's heart leaped with joy, and she quickly pulled over Li Wenle.

"Lele, come try on the long life lock that Aunt Luo designed for you. It must be very beautiful."

Li Wenle glanced at Old Master Li and then at the lacquered box in Jian Ningyi's hand. He reluctantly approached her side.

"Mommy, what's the present Open it and let me see!"

"Good girl, Mommy's going to show you a gift now, it's a very beautiful gift."

Jian Ning smiled softly, then opened the box in her hand. She took out a long life lock and prepared to put it on LeLe's neck.

For a moment.

All eyes were on the longevity lock.

Lu Ningxi coldly glanced at Li Bochen's profile, her hand under the table clenched tightly!

"Ding dong—"

Only to see Jian Ningyi's hand tremble slightly, followed by a crisp sound, the longevity lock fell to the ground! The chain actually... broke at this time!

This sudden change in events plunged the already heavy atmosphere into an icy silence!

Besides Luo Ningxi and Li Bichen, who remained calm as ever, everyone else present changed color!

Jian Ningyi frowned, feigning confusion as she picked up the broken Longevity Lock from the ground. "This... how did this lock break I really tried hard..."

Yu Ran initially approached this situation with a sense of entertainment, but seeing Jian Ningyi's actions, she guessed her intentions and intentionally raised her voice, "The meaning behind this longevity lock is to ensure the child lives a long and healthy life. Miss Luo, how could you present one that is so easily broken"

As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone's faces turned pale, especially Old Man Li!

Yu Lan quickly covered her mouth, looking as if she had said something wrong. "Oh my, it's best to have the servants take it down right away. It's bad luck for a child to receive a broken longevity lock on their birthday!"

Jian Ningyi heard the words and her eyes immediately turned cold. She glared at Luo Ningxi, "Miss Luo, today is LeLe's birthday, what do you mean by giving us a broken longevity lock! Are you cursing my child!"

Jian Ning's voice was sharp, making Li Wenle in her arms quiver and bury her face in her grandfather's chest, crying, "Grandpa... Le Le is scared! Le Le is afraid!"

Old Master Li loved his grandchildren dearly, and a wave of fury surged through him in that instant!

Adding to her existing displeasure with Luo Ningxi, she had no intention of showing any mercy. She coldly and angrily asked, "What on earth is going on Is this how Luo Corporation makes jewelry Or are you deliberately doing this"

"Dad, things haven't been figured out yet, there's no need to get so angry." Li Bichen lightly tapped the table with his long fingers, his tone nonchalant.

But those long, narrow cold eyes held a chilling, penetrating coldness!

Jian Ningyi excitedly raised her head, "What else is there to investigate This is what Luo Ningxi did! Apart from her, who else would have the mind to curse the children of the Li family!"

Looking at the two of them facing each other like this, Luo Ningxi sneered coldly. Aren't these two people on the same side How come they started fighting first This play is really well done!

"Fourth brother, how do you speak to your second sister-in-law!"

Li Jiancheng frowned and glared at Luo Ningxi, his face cold. It was clear he was eager to save face, "Luo Ningxi, today is my son's birthday, and this kind of thing happened. You must give us an explanation on behalf of the Luo Group!"

For a moment, everyone's unfriendly gazes were fixed on Luo Ningxi!

Especially Jian Ningyi, her eyes were bloodshot, wishing she could rush up and devour Luo Ningxi alive!ged, the shrewd glint remained in his eyes.But the police officer didn't buy it. He gave him a cold look, "Think we're all blind You can stay this clean after a party and drinking Get down on the grou...
