Gong Yanli hung up Gong Yanzheng's call first, then looked up at his father and said, "My older brother said he'll be returning to China in a while and asked me to bring my girlfriend to meet him."

Of course, Father Gong knew that the two brothers were of one mind!

He initially intended to groom his two brothers as his successors so that he could retire early.

Unfortunately, after his ex-wife passed away, both of his sons became his adversaries.

I thought they would understand me when they grew up, but I didn't expect that the older they get, the deeper the gap between us becomes.

Gong's father was forced to get He Xiaowen pregnant, hoping to cultivate a new successor while he was still not too old.

But when he heard Gong Yanli say that, he couldn't suppress his anger. "If it weren't for me, would you two be where you are today? Now that your company has grown big and you've become too powerful, you don't even respect me anymore, do you?"

"Mr. Gong, as far back as I can remember, my mother and brother have been with me most of the time. You are always busy, and sometimes I don't see you for half a year. The thing that impressed me the most was when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, you were celebrating the birthday of whoever was the mistress, I don't know. What right do you have to be a father?"

Gong Yanli stood up from the sofa, glanced at his watch, and said, "Ten minutes have passed, so I won't give you the hotel. Actually, I don't want to give you the billion either, so I'll have my assistant prepare two contracts and send them over tomorrow. If you don't want the billion, I'll just return one percent of my shares to you."

Gong Yanli put on his watch, turned around and left the study.

He Xiaowen saw the anger on Gong's father's face and dared not say anything.

Gong Yanli came in by ride-hailing service, but there were no cars available when she left, so she had to walk out.

He remembered that he moved into this house when he was five or six years old. At that time, his mother was still healthy and often took him to play in the green area of ​​the community.

Over the years, the pavilion and swing seem to have been renovated, but nothing has changed.

Gong Yanli was sitting under the pavilion when his phone beeped with a WeChat notification.

It's news from Ji Tong.

Ji Tong: [What are you doing right now?]

When Gong Yanli saw Ji Tong's message, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curve into a smile.

He was well aware that he had gone this far, and it wasn't a momentary impulse.

Instead, it requires several years of psychological adjustment.

If the two had been together for four or five years, he might not have reacted so quickly.

But this happened five years later, and he had rehearsed it countless times in his mind before it turned out this way.

Gong Yanli quickly replied to the message: 【I'm out now, and I probably won't need to come again.】

Less than three seconds after the message was sent, Ji Tong called.

"You're out? How much did I negotiate for the breakup fee?"

Gong Yanli had just answered the phone when he heard Ji Tong's impatient question.

The man knew she was joking and sighed, "Sorry, I wasn't pushed to that point, and the result might disappoint you."

"Ah... that's alright, you're quite wealthy." Ji Tong expressed her attitude optimistically before saying, "But your family is quite interesting too. It's already lunchtime, and they didn't invite you to stay for dinner."

“Looking at them, I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat anything,” Miyanoko said.

"Then see if I have an appetite." Ji Tong blurted out after finishing her sentence, "How about... you come to my house for dinner? Actually, when we were downstairs just now, my neighbor saw us and told my mom. My mom came back specifically to scold me!"

"Scolding you?"

“Yeah, I don’t know what that neighbor said, but my mom said I’m all hot and cold, and no matter how I explain, she won’t believe me. Why don’t you come to my house for dinner and let my mom know that it’s not just me who’s all hot and cold!” Ji Tong said, afraid that Gong Yanli would be nervous. “Don’t worry, my dad is here today, and he will speak up for you.”

Gong Yanli was not prepared to meet Ji Tong's parents today.

However, he is now ready.

I just didn't expect it to happen so suddenly.

Gong Yanli pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then wait for me. I'll be there in about an hour. You don't need to wait for me for dinner."

Ji Tong never expected Gong Yanli to refuse when she spoke up.

She laughed on the other end of the phone and said, "Oh dear, since you're coming, how can I not wait for you? Come on over, my housekeeper is making braised pork ribs today, they're so delicious!"
