Li Tingyan saw that Nianyang was so angry she looked like a puffer fish, yet she was still thinking about him. He was so touched that he wanted to marry her on the spot. He pinched her cheek and said, "Honey, you don't have to force yourself like this. If you don't want to compete with her in the talent show, just don't.
Even if she wants to mess with you, she has to get past me first. Isn't she just relying on her father?
My family has connections with the Chu Family, so at worst, we can ask City Lord Chu to help get Ning Xia out of the way, so she doesn't bother us!"
Nianyang licked her lips, "That won't do. It's something I can settle by competing with her. Why bother the City Lord? It might make him think you're making a fuss over nothing and affect your reputation!
Let's wait until the annual meeting is over and I get the flag. If Ning Xia doesn't fulfill her promise and leave on her own accord, then you can report the whole situation. We'll have every reason to do so!"
