55: Chapter 55 Xu Mengjie's Favorability Breakthrough

After thinking it through, she stopped struggling with it.

"After I finish buying out their shares with this money, I will use the rest for the company. You can come over to check the accounts at any time."

Li Luo chuckled.

"No need to be that rigid. I'm not short of this money. I'm just giving you a heads-up. When the time comes, find a professional lawyer from a law firm to accompany you. Make sure you read the contracts carefully so you don't get scammed again."

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Xu Mengjie's eyes after hearing this.

"Don't worry, that won't happen anymore."

"Alright, since your company matters are settled, how have you considered what I mentioned last time? Just answer me honestly."

"You should be able to guess that I have more than one woman. Feel free to speak your mind. Also, we are talking about personal matters now; it has nothing to do with those two million."

Since everything was out in the open, Xu Mengjie stopped being coy.

After all, she had been thinking about it for so many days, and combined with what happened just now, she actually already had the answer in her heart.

"What I want to ask is, how do you plan to arrange things for me in the future?"

Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

"After your lease here expires, I'll gift you an apartment, buy you a car, and transfer another million to you later for you to use for now. Is that okay?"

Xu Mengjie didn't expect this man to be so generous; it really gave her a sense of security.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Li Luo thought for a moment.

"However, I'll say the ugly things upfront. Since you've decided to be with me, then with other men... I don't need to finish that sentence, right?"

Xu Mengjie scoffed.

"Don't worry, you don't need to tell me that. Besides, if I were that kind of woman, I wouldn't need your money at all."

Li Luo believed this. If she were really that kind of woman, she wouldn't be short of money.

"System, activate Insight Technique."

[Name]: Xu Mengjie [Age]: 27 [Height]: 1.68 [Weight]: 55 [Overall Attractiveness]: 89 [Privacy]: 99 [Status]: Normal [Intimacy]: 49

[System: Bind?]

Is the intimacy this high? Why is it always just a little bit short?

Let's bind first!

"Then it's settled. You go back first, and I'm going back to rest too. I have some things to handle over the next few days, and I'll come see you when I'm done."

Xu Mengjie said with a smile.

"It's fine, you go do your work. Even if you were free, I wouldn't be able to accompany you these next few days. Now that the funds are in place, there's a pile of things at the company waiting for me to handle."

"Alright then! I'll give you a friendly reminder: look at the bigger picture. Once the company is stable, hire someone to help manage it. A small company like yours is completely dispensable to me."

Xu Mengjie rolled her eyes at him.

"I know you're a big boss and not short of money, but this company is my hard work after all. It's not as easy to let go as you say. Maybe once it's truly on the right track, as you said, I'll slowly try to let go."

Li Luo felt somewhat helpless.

"Suit yourself. Go back and rest early! You've been tired during this time."

Xu Mengjie was a bit conflicted inside, wondering whether or not to ask him to stay the night.

After all, the relationship between the two of them had reached this point, and everything that needed to be said had been made clear.

As for what would happen if he stayed the night, she was well aware.

After hesitating for a while, she said to Li Luo.

"It's already eleven at night. How about… staying here for the night?"

Li Luo was stunned, thought about it, and decided against it.

"Next time! We've only just confirmed our relationship. I'll give you a few days to buffer. You won't be this lucky next time!"

Li Luo joked at the end.

"Pfft, okay, I got it."

Xu Mengjie laughed. While feeling relieved, she was also slightly touched.

Just as she was about to get out of the car, she suddenly thought of something and hesitated about whether to tell him.

Seeing Xu Mengjie with "something on her mind" written all over her face, Li Luo felt somewhat helpless.

"My lady, can't you just say everything at once when you have something to say?"

"What, we aren't even officially together yet and you can't stand me already?"

Xu Mengjie teased.

"No, no, go ahead!" Li Luo said, feeling somewhat helpless.

"That's more like it. I just remembered something and felt it was necessary to tell you."

Li Luo was curious upon hearing this.

"What is it? Go ahead."

"My parents and my younger brother are coming over in a few days. Do you want to meet them?"

Li Luo was stunned.

"Your parents are coming over?"

Xu Mengjie shrugged.

"I mentioned it the first time I took your car. Did you forget? I chatted with my mom for such a long time in the back seat."

"I remember that, I just didn't know your parents were coming. You just said your younger brother, is he your biological younger brother?"

Xu Mengjie said proudly.

"That's right! He's also your brother-in-law, oh."

Seeing Li Luo didn't speak, Xu Mengjie said in a flat tone.

"I was just letting you know. Whether you go or not is up to you; I'm not forcing you to go! I just felt that I should tell you about this so that you won't say later that I keep things from you."

Li Luo thought about it; going to see them would be fine, after all, he would have to meet them sooner or later.

After deciding, he looked at Xu Mengjie and said.

"Contact me when they arrive."

Xu Mengjie was stunned when she heard this; she didn't expect Li Luo to agree.

She just felt that since she had decided on him, there were some things she shouldn't hide. She didn't hold out hope that Li Luo would agree to meet her parents.

To put it bluntly, their relationship was equivalent to being a kept woman.

Since Li Luo agreed to meet her parents, it was equivalent to him acknowledging her.

[Xu Mengjie Favorability + 1, current favorability 50]

[System: Xu Mengjie's favorability has reached 50 points. Reward for the Host: an apartment in the Jiangning Jinmao Mansion complex. [Already stored in the warehouse, you can check it yourself.]]

Damn, not only did it break through, but the reward is actually a property in this complex?

Li Luo felt the System was doing it on purpose, but he had no proof.

He was just talking about a house, and now he has one immediately. That's really timely!

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Mengjie looked at Li Luo, who had suddenly zoned out while talking.

Li Luo quickly reacted.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about something. Just contact me when your parents arrive. But you'd better tell them to come over in a few days; I really have things to do these few days."

"Alright then, I'll send a message to tell them. I'm going back now. Send me a message when you're done with your business these few days!"

"Before you go, can you fulfill a small wish of mine?"

Xu Mengjie was stunned.

"Go ahead and say it!"

Seeing Li Luo pointing at his own lips.

Xu Mengjie's pretty face turned red instantly. After thinking about it, she decided to fulfill this small request.

A few minutes later.

Xu Mengjie looked at the silly man who looked completely satisfied and was deliberately smacking his lips.

"Are you satisfied now? I'm going back then."

"Uh, go ahead!"

"Drive slowly on your way back, and be safe on the road."

"Alright, don't worry."

Upon hearing the reply, Xu Mengjie didn't linger any longer, got out of the car, and walked back.
