Chapter 166 Is my family so poor that we can't even afford a toy?

Chengcheng frowned as he looked at the old man in front of him.

He knew what "grandfather" meant; it referred to his mother's father.

She said in a clear voice, "My mother doesn't have a father, and you're not my maternal grandfather."

Sheng Zhaohui laughed: "Everyone has a father, so of course your mother does too."

Chengcheng turned to look at Limai: "Mom, is it him?"

Li Mai is not afraid of setting a bad example for children: "You don't need to pay attention to him, and you don't need to greet him if you see him."

Chengcheng nodded: "I understand."

Sheng Zhaohui: "..."

How could you teach your child like that?

Li Mai: "Mind your own business. I'll teach however I want."

Sheng Zhaohui: "..."

This is infuriating!

If it weren't for the company, he really wouldn't want to see that brat.

He thought children were easier to coax, so he smiled and tried to take Chengcheng's hand, but Chengcheng glared at him coldly.

Sheng Zhaohui pulled his hand back.

"Chengcheng, shall Grandpa take you to buy toys? What kind of toys do you like?"

Zhou Songyan finally lost his temper: "Uncle Sheng, is my family so poor that we can't even afford a toy?"

Sheng Zhaohui: "I know you can afford it, and it's my way of buying it. Chengcheng is my grandson after all, so it's only right that I treat him well."

Zhou Songyan: "Belated affection is worthless, save it. Neither Li Mai nor Chengcheng needs it."

“Songyan, when you marry Limai, I will be your father-in-law. You can’t talk to me like that.”

"I only respect people who deserve respect."

Zhou Songyan really wanted to say: Are you worthy?

After thinking about it, I decided against it.

He was afraid that Sheng Zhaohui would faint after he finished speaking, and he would have to call an ambulance for him.

Sheng Zhaohui's face has been rubbed into the ground recently, and his expression is extremely ugly.

He didn't want to stay any longer and turned to leave.

It seems he has no choice but to go to Zhou Jingtian.

Sheng Xi hid not far away, wondering what her father wanted to do with Zhou Songyan and Li Mai.

It was too far away; she couldn't hear what they were saying.

Could it be that her father made Zhou Songyan and Li Mai break up because of her?

That's definitely the case.

Her father still loves her and is planning for her happiness.

Seeing Zhou Songyan take Li Mai's hand, Sheng Xi had an urge to rush over and tear Li Mai apart.

You bitch, you stole her man!

Sheng Xi glared at him fiercely for a while, but because she was afraid of Zhou Songyan, she didn't go forward.

I watched helplessly as the two of them got into the car and drove away with the child.

...

Sheng Zhaohui called Zhou Jingtian: "Jingtian, I've booked a private room at Yujinyuan. Let's have lunch together."

Zhou Jingtian: "No, I have to have dinner with the old lady."

"Jingtian, I have something to talk to you about."

"Let's talk about it later, I really don't have time today."

Ever since Qian Hui and Sheng Xi came to his house and slandered Li Mai, Zhou Jingtian has not wanted to pay any attention to the Sheng family.

Sheng Zhaohui: "Li Mai is my daughter. We'll be in-laws from now on. Let's come out and have a chat. We can discuss their marriage."

Zhou Jingtian: "..."

Neither Zhou Songyan nor Li Mai mentioned that Li Mai was Sheng Zhaohui's daughter when they returned home.

He was extremely surprised.

...

Yujinyuan Private Room.

As soon as Zhou Jingtian sat down after entering the room, he asked, "What happened?"

Sheng Zhaohui recounted his entanglement with Li Shirong.

Zhou Jingtian's face darkened: "You're really something!"

Sheng Zhaohui: "I know I was confused back then."

Zhou Jingtian sneered: "Who said your affair has anything to do with me? What I'm angry about is that you've ignored Li Mai for so many years."

He knew that Li Mai had a difficult childhood and had never received much family warmth.

That child didn't turn out badly; his heart is full of love, which is truly rare.

Sheng Zhaohui: "I'm sorry to her, I will make it up to her in the future."

Zhou Jingtian took a sip of tea: "Make amends? Can you even make amends?"

Sheng Zhaohui sighed: "I want to make amends now, but Li Mai won't give me a chance. She holds a deep grudge against me."

"Serves you right! If it were me, I wouldn't talk to you either."

"Jingtian, can you help me?"

"cannot!"

No matter what Sheng Zhaohui asks for, he won't help.

"Jingtian, we are now in-laws."

"No, I don't have a relative like you."

Sheng Zhaohui: "I know you're angry, but we've had such a long-standing relationship, you have to help me."

Zhou Jingtian looked directly at him: "Why did you suddenly acknowledge Li Mai at this time?"

Sheng Zhaohui: "I just found out she came to Beijing."

Zhou Jingtian: "Suzhou isn't far. If you wanted to reunite with her, you would have gone there long ago. You only reunited with her because you found out she was the person Songyan liked and thought that reuniting with her would bring you benefits, right?"

Sheng Zhaohui was rendered speechless and simply stopped refuting.

"Jingtian, please help us out this time, considering we've been friends for many years and are now in-laws."

Zhou Jingtian looked at him with a cold smile: "Your plan is good enough, but unfortunately I won't help you."

If he helps Sheng Zhaohui, he is betraying Li Mai.

That child is already pitiful enough, why should he be used by Sheng Zhaohui?

He should have given the money to Li Maihua instead of investing it in the Sheng family.

“Sheng Zhaohui, Li Mai will be protected by the Zhou family from now on. Don’t go in front of her and make her feel uncomfortable.”

"Also, our two families shouldn't keep in touch anymore; there's no need for it."

Zhou Jingtian left without looking back.

Sheng Zhaohui slammed his fist on the table, knocking over several plates.

Soon, the Zhou family all knew that Li Mai was Sheng Zhaohui's daughter.

Grandma Zhou cursed, "You heartless bastard! Even if she's an illegitimate daughter, she's still your own child. How could you be so heartless as to neglect her for over twenty years?"

Zhou Qianlian: "The most despicable one is Li Mai's mother. She's her own flesh and blood, how could she be so heartless? Some people don't even deserve to be parents!"

Zhang Jingran clenched her fist, her face full of anger: "Damn it! That woman actually spent all her money on her eldest son. I curse her to be reborn into a family with a mother like her, so she can be tortured to death."

Zhang Junzheng: "My cousin's wife is so pitiful, but luckily she met my cousin."

Grandma Zhou: "Your cousin is no good either. He made her heartbroken for years, and she got pregnant and gave birth all by herself. Oh dear, I can't bear it. Just thinking about Li Mai lying all alone in the hospital makes my heart ache."

Zhou Jingwen supported her: "Mom, what we need to do now is to treat Li Mai better in the future."

Grandma Zhou nodded: "Yes, I need to treat my granddaughter-in-law even better. The Sheng family still wants to take advantage of her. Eldest son, teach them a lesson and snatch their project."

Zhang Jingran jumped up excitedly: "Grandma is so awesome!"

Grandma Zhou waved her hand and said, "Eldest son, find another lawyer to draft a document to give your granddaughter-in-law shares."

Zhou Jingtian stood up: "I'll make the call right now."

Zhang Junzheng snapped his fingers: "The Sheng family has now lost more than they gained and will soon be in trouble."

In the courtyard, Zhou Jingtian's voice rose: "You've already made your move? Who gave you permission to do so?"

"It was Mr. Zhou who gave the order."
