Chapter 363 I Don't Agree to You Being Together
When Li Huaijin returned to the company, he didn't see the so-called contract. Instead, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa in the office, looking like she was about to interrogate him.
He casually closed the door, walked to his workstation, and didn't say a word.
Li's mother, Guo Yue, looked at her son with great dissatisfaction: "Huaijin, can't you see me here? What do you mean by this? Are you unwilling to talk?"
This son is really being spoiled rotten by her.
I'm not close to my family at all.
"Madam Li, do you have any advice for me?"
"What did you call me?" Guo Yue's eyes were filled with disappointment; this woman was truly hopeless. "I'm your mother, and that's how you address me?"
"Then what should I call you?" Li Huaijin sneered. "Let's not beat around the bush. Just say it, what do you want?"
He didn't want to waste words with Guo Yue; he felt suffocated just being in the same space as her.
"Can't I come to see you?" Guo Yue couldn't help but accuse, "How long has it been since you went back to the old house? Don't you know how to come back to your hometown to see us? Aren't your parents and grandparents living in the old house?"
She genuinely didn't know what was wrong with her son. He had never been close to them since he was little. Was it just because she was too strict with him? Why was he so resentful?
"Do you still need me to check on you? You've been persisting anytime, anywhere. What else do you need me to report to you about my situation?"
"you...."
She could sense her son's resentment, but... once you enter a wealthy family, it's like entering a deep sea; there are so many things we can't control, so why bother?
"Huaijin, I heard you have a girlfriend. When are you going to bring her to meet us? Is she a young lady from a prominent family?"
Guo Yue's words carried a worldly air, and her unspoken message also carried a hint of warning: Li Huaijin's only target was a young lady from a prominent family; no one else would do.
"Since you're sitting here asking questions, haven't you already investigated and found out? Are you pretending not to know?"
Why are you putting on airs here? It's disgusting to look at.
“Madam Li, although I don’t want anything to do with you, I still need to warn you: if you dare to hurt You Ran, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Li Huaijin's words were full of warnings, and his attitude was firm: anyone who dared to harm his people should be prepared to be retaliated against.
Guo Yue felt even more uncomfortable: "Are you threatening me?"
"I'm just trying to reason with you."
Guo Yue knew there was no point in talking to him, so she stopped pretending and said arrogantly, "Then I'll tell you the truth. I don't like your girlfriend now. You should break up with her as soon as possible."
She thought for a moment, then, disregarding Li Huaijin's wishes, said, "I've introduced you to a young lady from a prominent family. She graduated from Stanford and you'll have common interests. Go meet her tonight."
Li Huaijin was so angry he laughed.
It seems that this was her real purpose; how insidious!
"I'm not going."
Li Huaijin crossed his legs and put them on the desk, looking completely nonchalant and seemingly not taking Guo Yue seriously at all.
Guo Yue was infuriated by his nonchalant attitude. She stood up abruptly, pointed her finger at his nose, and yelled, "Li Huaijin, are you determined to go against me? Let me tell you, you want to be with that Gu Youran? No way! I will never agree to it. Just give up on that idea and obediently accept the noble lady I'm arranging for you."
If she doesn't get a handle on this son soon, she'll lose control. She needs to quickly and firmly bring him under her control.
Gu Youran?
That kind of woman, that kind of family, is not good enough for Li Huaijin!
She would never give such a scheming woman an opportunity to take advantage of her.
Li Huaijin's expression changed drastically, his sharp eyes filled with malice, as if they were poisoned. The person in front of him did not seem like a relative, but rather his enemy.
“I’ll say it again: my marriage and my life’s major events have nothing to do with you. If you interfere in my affairs with her, I don’t mind blowing up the old house.”
Gu Youran is the person he chose himself, the person he wants to spend his life with. Anyone who tries to stop him is going against him.
He won't let anyone get away with it.
Similarly, anyone who dares to harm Gu Youran is also going against him.
"You..." Guo Yue was furious; she couldn't even understand her son.
Although Li Huaijin is rather crazy and rebellious, he has never spoken to them like this before. This must have been instigated by Gu Youran.
It seems that Gu Youran really cannot be kept.
Now is not the time to fall out with her son. She took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Then what exactly do you want? What do you want me to do for you to agree to meet the blind date I've arranged for you?"
“You don’t need to do anything. Just leave my company now, and I won’t see that lady.”
How could he possibly do anything to betray Gu Youran?
If Gu Youran finds out, he'll be dead.
Guo Yue, however, had no intention of letting him off the hook. Instead, she started negotiating with him: "If you agree to meet her, I won't stop you from dating Gu Youran, regardless of whether it works out or not. What do you think?"
It's just dating; it doesn't matter who you date.
There are still thresholds to entering the Li family. Gu Youran is not qualified yet, but since Li Huaijin likes her, she can let her son play for another year. After a year, he has to cut ties with everyone and get married properly.
Li Huaijin, however, did not believe that Guo Yue would be so kind.
“But if you don’t go to see her, I will definitely make things difficult for Gu Youran. If you think you can stop everyone in the old house by yourself, then let’s all give it a try.”
She had no chance of winning in a one-on-one fight with her son, but with so many people in the old house surrounding Gu Youran, how could Li Huaijin protect her?
Li Huaijin narrowed his eyes dangerously, clearly displeased: "You...threate me?"
"I was just retaliating. Didn't you threaten me just now?"
"you...."
Li Huaijin seemed to be pondering her question: "As long as I meet you, you won't interfere in my affairs with You Ran?"
He still felt there was a trap involved.
But he couldn't quite put his finger on what it felt like.
"Of course, what good would it do me to go against you? As long as we meet, it doesn't matter whether we're compatible or not. I won't stop you from dating Gu Youran."
It was just a casual relationship.
She does have that much tolerance.
Li Huaijin snorted coldly, saying it was just a meeting and it didn't matter.
"Okay, I promise you."
It's just a meeting, what's the big deal?
Still worried about these things?
Guo Yue was overjoyed; she hadn't expected him to actually agree.
Very good.
If they agree to meet, it means that the relationship between Li Huaijin and Gu Youran isn't that strong. She just needs to put in some effort to... break their relationship.
Then... Li Huaijin would have to accept his family's arrangement and marry the person they had chosen for him.
This is the true child of the Li family.
"That's great! I'll take care of this. You don't need to worry about it. I believe you won't be disappointed." Guo Yue was extremely excited. She believed that with the daughter-in-law she had arranged, her son would definitely understand their good intentions back then.
"You will understand your mother's good intentions."
Li Huaijin sneered: "Good intentions? Are you trying to poison my pet, or are you trying to make my classmates disappear without a trace? Or perhaps, you're trying to prevent anyone from having any freedom to listen to your good intentions?"
Guo Yue's face was pale...
