"Go and bring them in." Marshal Li and Qi Feng exchanged a glance, and finally nodded.

Wei Baichuan and Su Ti exchanged glances, both mentally prepared.

"Grandpa, you're finally willing to see me. I know you're very disappointed in me right now, and I know you don't want to see me."

“But in my heart, you have always been my family. I received your education and guidance, and I will remember it for the rest of my life.”

“I know you don’t need me anymore. I didn’t want to bother you, but Mom is sick.”

"She's very sick. Even if you're still angry with me, what did Mom do wrong? She's your own daughter!"

As soon as Qi Bowen entered the room, he knelt down in front of Marshal Li, his eyes brimming with tears and his face looking haggard.

“Since you are so filial, why don’t you take your mother to the hospital when she is sick? When you were a child, she took care of you day and night without taking off her clothes when you were sick.”

“Now that she’s sick, isn’t this the perfect time for you to repay her kindness? Why are you coming to me crying and complaining about how you raised her?”

"I'm not a doctor. Even if you cry yourself to death in front of me, it won't do any good. And don't talk about being educated or trained by me. I wouldn't even shed a tear even if I went through fire and water."

"Your tearful appearance makes me feel like I've wasted twenty years of my life raising such a fussy and indecisive man."

Marshal Li looked at the man in front of him who had become much more haggard in such a short time, without feeling a pang of sympathy.

Perhaps he was born heartless. Forget about the debt of gratitude for raising him; now, whenever he sees him, he is reminded of the suffering his own grandson endured over the years.

How could she possibly have any mercy for him? Not to mention the calculating look in his eyes.

“When it comes to raising and educating you, shouldn’t your father, who has been your father for so many years, be more qualified to say this? But you, it seems, haven’t seen a single father who has raised you since you came in.”

"This person is inherently bad. He says he is grateful for being raised, but what he really thinks is known to you, me, and everyone else."

Qi Feng also spoke up, and the two of them completely exposed Qi Bowen's pretense.

Wei Baichuan and Su Ti were initially thinking they would be fighting alone against Qi Bowen, so they were extremely surprised to hear what the two said.

Looking up at Qi Bowen's dumbfounded expression, I found it quite hilarious.

Why is this different from what they expected?

"Grandpa..."

"No way, am I your maternal grandfather? We have no relation whatsoever. There are plenty of people trying to associate themselves with the Li family."

"The Li family's success today is thanks to my own hard work, countless near-death experiences, and the sacrifices of my ancestors. Many others want to associate themselves with the Li family, but you are not qualified."

Marshal Li interrupted Qi Bowen, asking if he really thought he was the only smart person in the world.

"Marshal Li, it's understandable that you're still angry with me, but my mother..."

Qi Bowen's mind was in complete disarray; this was not what he had expected.

"That's your mother, what's her relationship with us?" Marshal Li remained calm throughout, showing no sign of urgency.

From the very first sentence Qi Bowen uttered upon entering, he knew what Qi was thinking.

He had initially thought that no matter how terrible Li Ci was, he understood her quite well.

But now it seems he doesn't understand that by letting Qi Bowen come, she has tacitly agreed to Qi Bowen's scheme against him.

What use is a daughter like that to him? She'll stop at nothing to achieve her goals, and she's even used those same methods on her own father.

He asked himself repeatedly where things went wrong, how he had raised his daughter to be like this.

"But she's your own daughter." Qi Bowen looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, a person who was clearly familiar but now felt like a stranger.

"Why don't you go out more, buy some newspapers and read them? We're cutting ties."

“She will just be your mother from now on. She won’t have the surname Li, and of course you won’t have the surname Qi either. You will depend on each other from now on. I think you care about each other so much that you will definitely be able to live a good life together.”

When Marshal Li mentioned this, he even gave Qi Bowen a rare smile.

Upon hearing this, Qi Bowen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. How could he not care about his own daughter? Could he just abandon her like that?

That was his only bloodline living in the world. How could he be so heartless, just for someone he never even met?

Thinking of the people he had never met, Qi Bowen looked up and realized that there were still quite a few people sitting at the table.

The woman he had called "Grandma" for many years looked at him anxiously, while the woman he had called "Father" for many years wouldn't even look at him directly.

He turned to the side and saw the two people sitting opposite his grandfather.

Unlike the weathered country man he had imagined, the man looked exactly like Qi Feng.

But the nonchalant look in his eyes was just like that of the Li family.

He stared at the man in disbelief. Why did he look like this? He had lived in the Li family for so many years, yet he lacked even a trace of the Li family's inherent drive.

But why, after just one glance, did he give me the feeling that, yes, this is how the Li family should look?

Qi Bowen stared blankly at the person, but the person only glanced at him before turning to look at the person next to him.

It's as if he's insignificant and unimportant.

Following his gaze, he finally saw the person sitting next to him.

A very charming woman, more beautiful than any of the women he had met, was the country bumpkin that everyone was talking about.

"Baichuan, look at how devastated he looks. It must be because he feels inferior when he sees you. Who told you to be so good-looking? Most people would feel inferior when they see you. I'm so lucky. I really envy myself."

Suti spoke softly, but the room was unusually quiet at the moment, and her words reached everyone's ears.

Marshal Li and Qi Feng: "..."

Grandma Kang over there rolled her eyes.

Looking into his wife's bright eyes, Wei Baichuan felt a surge of happiness.

"I know, my wife is so beautiful, I must be just as good-looking." That's what Wei Baichuan thought.

His wife once told him not to feel inferior because he was very outstanding; otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen him.

Over time, his wife has become increasingly kind to him, and he has come to realize that he is indeed very outstanding.

Marshal Li and Qi Feng stared at the person with disbelief: "..."

Is what this child said true? Yes, this child is definitely trying to spite Qi Bowen.

Qi Bowen was so shocked by his words that he didn't come to his senses for a long time. When he realized what was happening, he knew that the couple was mocking him.

They said he was inferior to this country girl in every way, and that he wasn't as good-looking as her.

Qi Bowen stood up straight. He was good-looking, and many girls liked him when he was in school.

"Baichuan, why is he so short? Oh, I forgot, none of the Wei family members are tall."

Suti looked at Qi Bowen and finally gave an affirmative answer.
