Mr. Li looked embarrassed at being interrupted.

He coughed lightly and looked behind Kong Rui. Kong Rui knew that he was hinting that he wanted to enter the room to talk.

However, Kong Rui didn’t intend to let him in. “Father, if there’s nothing else, please go back. I still have to prepare for the competition tomorrow.”

When he heard Li Ling’s order to leave, Mr. Li’s expression instantly became ugly.

He glanced around the hall, obviously looking for something.

It seemed that Mr. Li’s main goal in coming to look for her today was Chao Bai.

Although she understood, Kong Rui didn’t show it. She only said to Mr. Li, “Is there anything else?”

Father Li frowned and rolled his eyes a few times before suddenly blinking.

He reached out and grabbed Kong Rui. “Ling’er, I still have something to give you. Why don’t we go in and talk?”

“Then please follow me,” Kong Rui said as she broke free from Mr. Li’s grip.

She led Mr. Li into the hall.

It seemed that Mr. Li’s goal was to see Chao Bai. If he didn’t see him, it would probably be difficult to get rid of him today.

As for Chao Bai, he only acknowledged things that he was interested in. Other people or things seemed to be an eyesore to him.

Thinking of how Chao Bai treated Li Han, Kong Rui smirked.

They walked into the hall. Chao Bai was sitting at the table, studying a plate placed on it.

After Kong Rui walked in, Chao Bai stood up and was about to welcome her when he saw Mr. Li behind Kong Rui. He frowned.

“Who are you?” Chao Bai asked with a displeased expression.

Kong Rui wasn’t displeased by Chao Bai’s “rudeness” at all. Instead, she was even grateful towards him.

Hearing Chao Bai’s question, Mr. Li immediately felt embarrassed. “Who are you? Why are you in my daughter’s courtyard?!”

Seeing that Mr. Li was asking the obvious, Kong Rui wanted to roll her eyes and kick him out.

However, there were still many things she hadn’t done. It was clearly not a wise choice to go against Mr. Li.
