Li Yuanqing suppressed his anger: "Dad wants you to come home as soon as possible. You should prepare yourself mentally regarding Wen Shu's matter."

"I'm at work and don't have time. Even if I were to go, I would choose a time on a Saturday or Sunday."

"I can only relay the message."

After saying this, Li Yuanqing hung up the phone. She didn't want to contact Li Duo either. If it weren't for her father's request, she would rather never contact him in her life.

Li Duo looked at the phone that had been hung up, his face grim. Li Yuanqing really couldn't change his ways.

Around the same time, the Lin family received a call from Li Zhonggeng.

How should I put it?

For Lin Yiyu and Shen Jingyao, their only concern is Wen Shu, and only Wen Shu.

Although they knew from the beginning that Li Duo was a member of the Li family, they also knew that Li Duo had fallen out with the Li family for Wen Shu's sake.

Given this premise, if they could only choose one, Lin Yiyu and his wife would naturally choose Wen Shu.

As for the relationship between the old man and Li Zhonggeng, they, as the younger generation, should simply not interfere.

They only recognize Wen Shu, so naturally they can only recognize Li Duo.

Since Li Duo has fallen out with the Li family, if they have to choose sides, they can only choose to side with Li Duo.

Li Duo is their son-in-law. As long as their daughter and son-in-law have a good relationship, nothing else matters to Lin Yiyu and his wife.

Li Zhonggeng and Mr. Lin were indeed old friends and comrades-in-arms, but that was a friendship between the older generation. Whether it could continue into the next generation depended on fate.

The biggest difference between the Li family and the Lin family is that the next generation is a generation apart, making it impossible for them to get close.

Lin Yiyu and his wife, and Li Zhonggeng's youngest son, Li Duo, were not the same age, so the relationship between them was very complicated.

Under the current circumstances, if the Li family doesn't contact the Lin family, the Lin family will absolutely not take the initiative to contact Li Zhonggeng.

Now that Li Zhonggeng has contacted Old Master Lin and mentioned the relationship between Wen Shu and Li Duo, the Lin family naturally has to respond.

Before this, Lin Yiyu went to see the old man and told him about Wen Shu and Li Duo, as well as the phone call from the Lin family.

Actually, Grandpa Lin already knew about this, but he felt embarrassed.

He and Li Zhonggeng did have a good relationship; they were old friends and comrades-in-arms. But the problem was that the Li family kicked Li Duo out, and the old man didn't know why.

Rumor has it that Li Duo fell out with the Li family because he insisted on marrying Wen Shu. He wasn't sure if that was true or not, which was a bit contradictory, and that was why the old man was worried.

Should he pay attention to Li Zhonggeng or ignore him?

Later, the old man decided to play dead, and he just pretended not to know anything. Unexpectedly, Lao Li called him today.

Lin Yiyu transferred the call to the old man.

The old man chuckled on the phone, saying, "Old Li, we're practically in-laws, there's no way to avoid it, it's a destiny from a past life. And those two kids..."

After saying this, Grandpa Lin felt something was wrong. Who were those two children?

The person who was engaged to Li Duo back then was Lin Jingyu, but now, the person who married Li Duo is Wen Shu, which is awkward.

The old man paused for a moment before changing his words, saying, "It's about Wen Shu and Li Duo. I only found out about it recently. I was hesitating whether to tell you or not, but I didn't expect you to be even more anxious than I am."

Li Zhonggeng sighed, "I only just found out about this myself. Don't laugh at me, but that kid Li Duo is disobedient. He angered me over a project and ran away from home to work for someone else!"

"You be the judge! We've trained him for so many years, only to have him work for someone else? And what did he do? He revived someone else's half-dead company in just a few months, leaving the Li family's huge mess behind!"

Grandpa Lin chuckled and said, "Didn't you give him a chance to hone his skills? However, the fact that he has achieved such remarkable results in such a short time proves that you have educated Li Duo well. If he didn't have talent, no amount of money could have helped him!"

When Li Zhonggeng heard Li Duo being praised, he felt as if he himself was being praised, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Even so, I don't feel comfortable about it. Isn't this like letting the good stuff go to outsiders?"

"That guy is so stubborn, he never gives us a moment's peace of mind!"

Old Master Lin laughed and said, "Li Duo has the exact same personality as you. How dare you talk about your son like that?"

The two old men burst into laughter, easing the awkward atmosphere.

Li Zhonggeng said, "I originally thought that when Li Duo broke off the engagement, it severed the connection between our two families. I rarely feel sad. I never expected that the younger generation would continue the connection in another way."

The reason why the engagement was broken off was not entirely clear to Old Master Lin, but he was not stupid. Judging from Lin Jingyu's reaction at the time, he suspected that Lin Jingyu had done something to anger the Li family, otherwise Li Zhonggeng would not have agreed to Li Duo's request.

Mr. Lin was quite certain about this.

Grandpa Lin had never dared to ask. He had never liked Lin Jingyu's career choice to begin with, and the fact that she broke off her engagement with Li Duo made him dislike her even more.

Unexpectedly, it was later discovered that Lin Jingyu was not actually a daughter of the Lin family. Old Master Lin instantly felt refreshed and exclaimed, "How come the Lin family suddenly has such an extraordinary child? It turns out she's not a Lin family member at all!"

Grandpa Lin said on the phone, "I never expected the two children to get married. It's just a casual thought. The children that the Lin family has carefully raised are someone else's children, while the children that other families raise like weeds are the real Lin family's children."

"I originally thought, what good could a child raised in a poor family be? I never expected that the Lin family's children, even if they don't have the surname Lin, would have the spirit of the Lin family in their bones!"

When this was mentioned, Grandpa Lin said with great interest, "To be honest, I am very satisfied with my granddaughter!"

Grandpa Lin proudly showed off his granddaughter to Li Zhonggeng, though he actually learned a lot about her from Lin Yiyu.

When Lin Yiyu talked about Wen Shu, he naturally said the best things, saying whatever sounded nice and expressing his heartache. He could extract a hundred points from what was originally a ten-point story and convey it to the old man.

Over time, the good things are all 100%, and the suffering is also 100%. But if you listen to what the old man is thinking, it's a completely different story.

Who wouldn't enjoy listening to this kind of dramatic and inspirational drama?

Old Master Lin was no exception; after all, when he chatted with his friends, he still reminisced about the old days.

Listening to Old Master Lin's enthusiastic words, Li Zhonggeng clearly sensed the Lin family's attitude towards Wen Shu.

Clearly, Wen Shu is much more liked by the Lin family than she was with Lin Jingyu.
