The Li family called Li Duo's cell phone very quickly. Li Duo glanced at the number, reached out and answered, "Hello, Father..."

The moment the call connected, Li Zhonggeng's roar came from the other end of the line, "Li Duo, you get back here right now!"

Upon hearing Li Zhonggeng's furious voice on the phone, Li Duo calmly said, "Father, please calm down. I'll go back now."

Wen Shu glanced back at him, and Li Duo gave him a reassuring look, "I'll be back soon."

The silver Bentley stopped at the foot of Mount Immovable, and Li Duo stepped into the mountain step by step.

As soon as he entered the study, Li Zhonggeng hurled an inkstone at him.

Li Duo stepped aside; he had Rou Rou now, and he couldn't let Rou Rou see his battered and bruised appearance.

“Father, let’s talk things out. There’s no need to get so angry. It’s not worth ruining your health over an unworthy descendant like me.”

Li Zhonggeng was speechless for a long time after hearing his words. He pointed at Li Duo, his hands trembling, and said, "You...you also know that you are an unfilial descendant?"

Li Duo nodded. "I know that in Father's eyes, what I am doing now is the behavior of an unfilial descendant."

Li Zhonggeng nodded and sneered, "Good that you know. Tell me, what exactly happened? Explain yourself clearly. How dare you withdraw the appeal on behalf of the Li family? What were you thinking?"

Li Duo was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Father, what you should be concerned about is how I withdrew the Li family's appeal."

Li Zhonggeng paused for a second, then stared at him and asked, "So what your sister said was right? You and that Wen Shu really got a marriage certificate and got married?"

Li Duo nodded, "Yes, I did get a marriage certificate with Wen Shu."

Upon receiving a definitive answer from him, Li Zhonggeng instantly flew into a rage, “You scoundrel! Do you even know who you are? What is Wen Shu? What right does a lowly girl of unknown origin have to be my Li family’s daughter-in-law?”

"Go find her right now and get a divorce! You have to get a divorce! How dare you decide your own marriage on your own? Are you out of your mind? Is your marriage just your own business? Your marriage is the business of the entire Li family!"

Li Zhonggeng cursed at Li Duo, trembling with rage.

But Li Duo stood straight in front of Li Zhonggeng, showing no intention of backing down.

Li Zhonggeng looked at his face and said, "What do you mean now? You think I can't even command you? Li Duo, have I given you too much freedom, making you mistakenly believe that the Li family can't do anything to you?"

"Or do you think you're all grown up now and can handle everything?"

Li Duo lowered his eyes, his tone still calm, "Father, I've always known about the Li family's methods. I just want to live a little easier, a little more freely, and to have more hope for the future."

“I know the Li family is very good, a family that many people can only dream of. Countless people want to be reborn into the Li family, but they can't achieve it. I don't want to be enemies with my father, I just want to live my own life.”

"Over the years, it is the Li family that has made me who I am. Even today, I am still very clear that the Li family can continue to be very good without me, but if I leave the Li family, things might not be so good."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhonggeng's tone softened slightly, "It's good that you know."

Li Duo continued, "But Father, I've been in the Li family for so many years, and I've worked for the Li family for so many years. I'm tired."

"I hope I can have a chance to catch my breath, and I also hope to live an ordinary life, with a wife, children, and family. These are things that I could only dream of before, and I want to experience them."

“Wen Shu and I will not divorce. Since I made this decision, I have already thought about what consequences I will have to bear. I know that Father will be angry, but this time, Father, I cannot let my child follow in my footsteps. I cannot let my child be like me, without a mother’s love.”

“The child is a mistake I made, and Wen Shu is innocent. She has suffered so much because of me that she shouldn’t have had to endure. This is what I owe her, and I want to make amends and spend the rest of my life making up for the mistakes I made.”

Li Zhonggeng was so angry that his hands and feet went numb. He glared at Li Duo and said fiercely, "You're crazy! You're really crazy! What kind of love potion did Wen Shu give you to make you so devoted to her?"

"If you're in it because of the child, the Li family can just take custody and you'll have the child. But what does a woman matter in the face of wealth and power within a wealthy family?"

"Your family has raised you for so many years, not so that you could fall in love, much less abandon your entire family for a woman!"

"The Li family raised you so that you could display your talents and contribute to the Li family's business, not so that you could use your seniority and advantages to attract women and date or marry them!"

By the end, Li Zhonggeng had resorted to roaring.

Li Duo lowered his eyes. "Father, I know you mean well, and I know that even if you say these unpleasant things, it's because you want what's best for me. It's just that I can't be the son you envision."

"I can't be heartless and loveless, and I can't be like you, who could persevere to this day without wavering even without a single close person by your side."

“I am an ordinary person, and my mother has been away from me since I was a child. I know better than anyone what kind of pain a child without a mother has endured from childhood to adulthood.”

“I can’t let my son lose his mother’s company at such a young age like I did. I also can’t be like my father, alone in his old age, without anyone to confide in.”

Li Zhonggeng was so angry he laughed. "So now, you're going to break ties with the Li family?"

Li Duo nodded slowly but firmly. "If this is the only way I can have the right to decide what kind of life I want to live, then so be it, Father."

“From now on, I will never set foot in Immovable Mountain again. Everything the Li family has given me, after working for the Li family for so many years, has been almost completely offset. As for the rest, I will return it to the Li family.”

As Li Duo spoke, he reached into his pocket and pulled out the keys to the Bentley and several room cards.

“From today onwards, I am no longer a descendant of the Li family, and everything in the Li family has nothing to do with me. I voluntarily relinquish all inheritance rights to the Li family’s property and leave the Li family with nothing.”

"I'll return these things to you for now. As for the rest, if Father remembers, he can let me know. Even if I don't have them now, I will repay them little by little in the future."

Li Zhonggeng stared at Li Duo in shock, gritting his teeth as he said, "You're insane! You're really insane! Li Duo, do you not want to get better?"
