Chapter 397 Awards
Finally, the reporter also interviewed Ling Xiaoguang and Ling Xiaolei. Ling Xiaolei, who was on TV for the first time, was obviously excited and nervous, with sweat on his palms. Compared to Ling Xiaolei's nervousness, Ling Xiaoguang was obviously more stable.
Ling Xiaoguang even did Olympiad math problems in front of the reporters. Those densely packed numbers gave even the reporters a headache.
Facing the questions from the reporter, the two brothers not only praised Li Luo's vocabulary, but they were also unable to say anything even when the reporter repeatedly asked tricky questions trying to lead them to point out some of Li Luo's shortcomings.
Now, those people finally believed that Li Luo was such a successful stepmother!
Soon, the time of the commendation meeting arrived as scheduled, and Li Luo and others were taken to the venue. Li Luo found that not only Qi Liancheng, but also Qi Nana was invited today.
Since Li Luo was too busy during this period, Qi Nana didn't have time to tell Li Luo that she would also attend.
Qi Liancheng was not present alone today, he brought Lin Ge with him. As Qi Liancheng's female companion, Lin Ge attended the commendation meeting.
Lin Ge never thought that he would meet Li Luo and Ling Zhuoqun here. Compared with before, Ling Zhuoqun seemed more handsome, with stronger facial features, and Li Luo seemed to look more charming and radiant.
Looking at herself again, no matter how expensive the clothes were, they seemed half as cheap when worn by her. Even Qi Liancheng seemed to have something wrong with his body, and his hair began to become thinner.
Lin Ge really didn't know why, even though she and Li Luo had exchanged families and she had obtained everything that Li Luo had obtained before, why now, she was not as successful as Li Luo, the fake eldest lady?
When Li Luo and others were accepting awards, she was the only one sitting at the bottom of her seat, drinking silently. During this time, many people wanted to clink glasses with Lin Ge in the name of Qi Liancheng, but Lin Ge did not give them a good look.
Many people were so angry that their reputation towards Qi Liancheng declined. But when they talked to Li Luo afterwards, Li Luo seemed more at ease among them.
"Luoluo, others may not know, but I, your uncle Li, do. I think you are the child of our Li family! Lin Ge, you have been back to the Li family for so long, but you have never visited me. But when you were at the Li family, you still cared about your uncle from time to time."
"Your aunt liked the sachet you gave her before, and her insomnia has improved a lot now."
Lin Ge also didn't expect that before at the Li family, when so many people surrounded her, she didn't want to pay attention to any of them, but now they all leaned towards Li Luo. Could it be that Li Luo's status could be higher than that of the Li family?
"Luoluo, you don't know that your father Li asked you to bring Xiao Ling back to visit him a few days ago." Uncle Li's words made Lin Ge, who had been able to maintain a smile on his face, suddenly fall in expression.
It is obvious that Li Dafu and the Qi family are on the upper and lower floors, but why did Li Dafu invite Li Luo back to the Li family when his own biological daughter didn't even know about it?
Lin Ge wanted to rush forward to question Uncle Li, but she shrank back. If she fell out with him now, her status in the Li family would only become lower. Moreover, why did her father suddenly let Li Luo go home? This matter was also worth further investigation.
Lin Ge learned his lesson this time. He planned to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances and followed behind Qi Liancheng, dealing with some social interactions.
Although many people would praise Ling Zhuoqun and Li Luo, most of the people present still revolved around Qi Liancheng. But naturally, the only thing that complimented Qi Liancheng came from the people behind Qi Liancheng.
Sure enough, the guest who came out at the end to present the award was none other than Qi Shutong.
Qi Shutong came over exhausted, but he didn't show any panic at all. He still looked energetic and waved to everyone. When he saw Li Luo, he was obviously surprised. He didn't expect that after leaving the Li family, Li Luo had a more mature charm, and her clothes were obviously more decent than Lin Ge's, which even made Qi Shutong dazed.
Even when Li Luo greeted Qi Shutong, Qi Shutong almost forgot to respond.
"Ah, it's Luoluo. I haven't seen you for a long time. You've become even more beautiful." Qi Shutong's words were half compliment and half expressed his true thoughts.
Li Luo covered her mouth and chuckled, then raised a glass of wine to Qi Shutong: "Thank you Uncle Qi for the compliment. Uncle Qi is still as handsome as he was back then!"
Everyone likes to hear nice words, and being praised by a beautiful woman. Obviously, Qi Shutong's smile deepened, and he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
"Who is this?" This was the first time Qi Shutong met Ling Zhuoqun, because the man opposite him seemed to pose a considerable threat to his son.
Qi Shutong was a shrewd man who kept his eyes and ears open. Naturally, he took into account the observations and attitudes of these people. Although most people were flattering towards him, it was undeniable that this was the sense of superiority that power brought him.
No matter how reluctant they were, as long as he was there, no one dared to say anything.
"Mr. Qi, I am Miss Li's husband, and my surname is Ling." Ling Zhuoqun extended his hand in front of Qi Shutong without being humble or arrogant.
Being the focus of so many eyes, and considering that Ling Zhuoqun was a popular figure in Rongcheng, Qi Shutong naturally could not fail to maintain his image in front of outsiders, so he shook Ling Zhuoqun's hand calmly.
Feeling the strength coming from Ling Zhuoqun's palm and the ambition hidden deep in Ling Zhuoqun's eyes, Qi Shutong knew that Ling Zhuoqun and himself were not the same kind of people, and were obviously on opposite sides.
Not only that, it was obvious that his son could not defeat the man in front of him. However, Ling Zhuoqun had not yet established a firm foothold in Rongcheng, so he still had time to help his son plan.
So Qi Shutong showed his signature smile to Ling Zhuoqun: "I didn't expect that our Rongcheng is really full of talents. There is even a young talent like Mr. Ling."
"Mr. Qi, you are too kind. I am not young anymore. It is not easy to reach such a height." Ling Zhuoqun responded with a knowing smile.
The first confrontation between the two sides was dealt with by Ling Zhuoqun by laughing it off.
After all the important guests have arrived, all that remains is the award ceremony, where Qi Shutong will present the awards to Ling Zhuoqun and others.
Qi Shutong was also very proud. His own children received the awards today by himself. Naturally, the glow on his face was the brightest in the audience.
However, what Qi Shutong did not expect was that an interview with Li Luo suddenly appeared on the big screen at the scene.
