Chapter 447 Li Heng's Sudden Visit
Li Huaijin walked into the reception room and saw Li Heng sitting there leisurely, not worrying about anything else.
Seeing the person enter, he slowly spoke: "It's been a long time since I've been to the company. It seems you've managed the company very well."
"I don't need your approval; I know I've done a good job."
Li Huaijin sat opposite Li Heng, tapping his fingers lightly on the table: "Speak plainly, what do you want to see me about?"
Li Heng cut straight to the point, his expression very serious: "I heard that you and Gu Youran got your marriage certificate?"
"What's the problem?"
Li Heng sighed helplessly, as if he were in a dilemma: "Are you...are you really sure?"
"What do we need to decide? You Ran and I are in love, isn't it normal to get a marriage certificate?"
When Li Huaijin mentioned his love for You Ran, he became quite proud.
He and You Ran are currently deeply in love, so if anyone tries to dampen his enthusiasm at this time, they shouldn't blame him for turning ruthless.
"So when you got your marriage certificate, didn't you even think about informing your family?" Li Heng's words carried a hint of reproach: "Li Huaijin, you really don't take us seriously!"
"Do I need to take anyone seriously? I didn't say a word, but you still know I got married, so what else do I need to say?"
Li Huaijin was born rebellious; he had no intention of speaking properly with Li Heng. He didn't want his peaceful and happy life to be interrupted.
"How can that be the same?!"
Li Heng was furious with his son. What kind of nonsense was he spouting? He slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "How can what I heard from outsiders be the same as what you told me?"
"Li Huaijin, I'm not here to stop you and Gu Youran. Do you need to talk to me like that, with such veiled hostility?"
Although Li Heng was angry, he was also quite helpless. After a moment of anger, he slowly sat down again: "Huaijin, your father doesn't have any great ambitions. I've never had much ambition from beginning to end, and I don't have much affection for your mother, so I... don't care about you much."
"But I've already lost my chance at happiness in this life, and I can't let you become like me."
Li Heng sighed deeply: "You don't need to assume anything malicious about me. I'm here today just to confirm this matter, and I won't do anything else."
His words were far too unbelievable to Li Huaijin: "Do you think I'd believe what you say?"
"There's nothing to believe, and nothing to disbelieve." Li Heng looked around. "You and Gu Youran are newlyweds, you should be inseparable, right? Where is she?"
Li Huaijin was getting impatient. He didn't want Li Heng to do anything to You Ran: "You might as well just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush here."
Li Heng helplessly mocked himself, saying that this was all his own doing, and that he and his parents were largely to blame for their son becoming like this.
It's normal not to be intimate.
"I really didn't mean anything else, Huaijin. I've said before that I would never interfere with your happiness, but I hope... that I won't be involved in anything in the future. I just want to live out the rest of my life in a lazy and carefree way."
Li Heng's expression was serious, but more than that, it was helpless. He had no principles or set of rules in life.
When he couldn't be with the person he loved, he stopped thinking about it.
It's not so bad to just live a muddled life like this.
But the person in front of him was his son, and he couldn't let his son end up like him.
She didn't want her son to retaliate against Guo Yue as well, and also against him.
How could Li Huaijin not understand what it meant? He just found it quite ridiculous.
"What's the point of you saying this now?" He raised an eyebrow. "If you could control your wife, none of this would have happened."
"I..."
"It's pointless for you to say anything now. If you really care about me and feel indebted to me, then you shouldn't be here in the first place."
What he wanted was never an apology, but their distance.
Li Heng's eyes showed disappointment. Although he didn't have much affection for this son, it was still hurtful to hear him say these words.
Okay, I understand what you mean.
His expression was very serious: "But I still have something to say to you. Since you don't want to see your mother, and I also want to live a few years of peace and quiet, so... I filed for divorce from your mother, and she signed the papers. There's no going back."
"Once I get the divorce certificate, I will send her abroad. Maybe if she goes out and travels, she won't focus all her attention on you, and you will also be free."
Li Huaijin couldn't help but smile contemptuously. Was it too late to realize that making such a correct decision was only now?
Li Heng didn't give him a chance to speak, but continued, "Since you and You Ran are married and have registered your marriage, you have to take responsibility for her. Her in-laws aren't very good, but I still hope that the husband she meets is a good person."
He took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it directly to Li Huaijin: "This card contains my savings over the years, but only half of it. Consider it a gift to my daughter-in-law. Your wedding expenses will be covered by this account. Consider it a small compensation from me."
He might not even show up for the wedding, so rather than annoying his son, it's better to keep some distance.
This is fine too.
A complex look appeared in Li Huaijin's eyes. He really didn't understand what Li Heng meant by coming here today to say all this.
This is never going to end.
He picked up the bank card with disdain, his words dripping with sarcasm: "Do you think I need the little bit of money in your bank account?"
"I know you don't lack money, this is just a small token of my appreciation, a blessing for you both."
Li Heng stood up, looking at Li Huaijin with a complicated expression: "As a man, you must protect your woman. Although I don't like Gu Youran, in relationships, your parents' opinions can only be used as a reference, not to decide your life."
"From now on you are a married man and you must take responsibility."
Li Huaijin hadn't expected him to say these things, but he did feel much more relieved.
"I understand." His expression was very cold. "Is there anything else?"
"That's all, I'm going back now."
Li Heng got up and left the office without saying another word.
——
When Li Huaijin returned to his office, he was puzzled. He didn't quite understand what Li Heng was trying to express.
Could it be that he suddenly figured it out?
That's possible.
Seeing that he was sullen, Gu Youran couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why do you look so unhappy after just seeing your father?"
Li Huaijin naturally pulled Lu Jingxiao into his arms: "I'm fine."
"You Ran, when are we going to have our wedding?"
Gu Youran was taken aback: "You want to have a wedding?"
"Actually, I don't think there's any rush. Weiwei and Lu Jingxiao have been preparing for many years, so it doesn't matter when they hold their wedding."
"We haven't made any preparations for each other, and I can't possibly marry you while I'm heavily pregnant."
Gu Youran said softly, "Can we discuss marriage after the baby is born?"
"Wouldn't that be too unfair to you?"
Gu Youran shook her head: "As long as it's you, I won't feel wronged."
