Before Li Duo could finish speaking, Li Zhonggeng hurled the cup he had just picked up at Li Duo.
"What nonsense are you spouting? You want to cancel your engagement with Jing Yu? What time is it? The wedding date is already set, and you want to cancel it? What are you doing? Is marriage a game?"
The teacup smashed into Li Duo's forehead, causing him to bleed profusely.
He stood stubbornly in the middle of the study and said, "Father, this is not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but something I have been thinking about regarding my relationship with Jingyu."
"What's your relationship with her? You chose her!" Li Zhonggeng was so angry that he trembled all over.
“Back then, no one in your family forced you to date Jingyu! I told you then that if you chose her, you would have to be responsible for her.”
"I didn't even tell you about the betrothal I arranged between you and the Lin family back then. You chose this person yourself, and now you want to go back on your word? Do you think the Lin family is a pushover? How do you plan to explain this to them?!"
Li Duo simply said, "Jing Yu is still young. Even if we break up, she has plenty of suitors. She doesn't need me..."
"You scoundrel!" Li Zhonggeng roared, "Have you been bewitched by those vixens outside? How could you utter such nonsense?"
Li Duo: "Father has thought this through carefully, it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision. If there's any responsibility involved, I'm willing to take it, but I want to annul the engagement..."
Li Zhonggeng was furious. He pointed at him and said, "Get out of here! Let me tell you, your choice for wife can only be a girl from the Lin family, only Jing Yu. As for anyone else, forget about it!"
Seeing Li Zhonggeng panting heavily, Li Duo, fearing it would be too much of a shock, turned the old man away.
He left the study, and the butler outside was terrified when he saw Li Duo covered in blood. "Young Master, what happened to you?"
Li Liangfeng also stood up in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Li Duo waved his hand, wiped the blood off his forehead, and the butler hurriedly brought him a band-aid.
Li Duo said, "I'll go check on Second Grandma and leave right away."
The butler asked in confusion, "Young Master, aren't you staying for dinner?"
Li Duo lowered his eyes and said, "No, I have other things to do."
When Li Duo went to see his second wife, Li Zhonggeng called the butler in and said, "Have someone investigate what kind of woman that kid is keeping outside, and get rid of that woman as soon as possible!"
The butler asked in shock, "Young Master is keeping a woman outside?"
Li Zhonggeng said angrily, "Yuan Qing reminded me before, but I didn't take it to heart. I didn't expect that after the kid came back today, he would tell me that he wanted to cancel his engagement with Jing Yu."
"Can the marriage agreement between the Lin family and the Li family be canceled so easily? It's utterly absurd."
Li Zhonggeng said with a dark expression, "The woman outside must have some tricks up her sleeve, bewitching him, otherwise he wouldn't have asked such a question!"
The butler pursed his lips and said, "Master, since it was the Third Miss who brought it up, she must know that woman. Why don't we just ask her?"
Li Zhonggeng said, "I was so angry with him that I lost my mind. I'll call Yuan Qing right now!"
In the backyard, Li Duo sat with his second grandmother.
Grandma said with a smile, "It's rare for you to come back, and you even made a special trip to see this old woman. Grandma is so happy to see you, all my ailments disappear."
Li Duo responded, "I'm still quite busy with work, otherwise I could come back to see Second Grandmother more often."
Grandma held his hand and said, "No matter how busy you are with work, you have to take care of yourself and the people around you."
Li Duo knew that his second grandmother had only said a few words before bringing up Lin Jingyu again.
It seems that Li Yuanqing has been tattling to his elders quite a bit.
"Second Grandmother is right."
"Second Madam isn't lecturing you, she's reminding you. I know you're a smart person and you know what's going on. Second Madam also knows you're young and crave novelty, but no matter how good other girls are, they can't compare to your own wife."
"You can't forget about Jing Yu. She's a good girl, beautiful, gentle, and filial. If you miss her, where will you find such a good girl in the future?"
Li Duo was at a loss for words and could only remain silent.
Grandma said again, "Jingyu, you are young, but you will be twenty-seven after the New Year. Many people your age already have children old enough to run errands."
"If you get married and have a child soon, your second grandmother will still have a chance to see it. If you get married late, your second grandmother won't even have a chance to see it."
Li Duo sighed, "Second Madam, please don't say things like that. You're in such good health, how could you not see her?"
"My health? You look fine, but you're constantly running to the hospital. I don't even know when I'll be gone."
After saying this, a hint of sadness appeared on the Second Grandmother's face. "Oh dear, I don't know if I'll live to see the day I find her!"
Li Duo sighed, "Second Madam, we will definitely find the person, so please don't worry!"
"I hope so. If we can't find any old friends, then having a child soon would be a joyous occasion."
"Life has so many regrets, there must be one thing that makes me happy."
Li Duo didn't know what to say for a moment. He nodded and said, "Second Grandmother, I understand. Don't worry."
Li Duo said, "I'll try my best to let you see the child."
Second Grandma nodded with a smile, "Aduo, I'm relieved to hear that."
Leave from Fudoyama.
Li Duo got into the car, and Li Liangfeng glanced at him through the rearview mirror. "Mr. Li, should I go and ask the Third Miss what else she said to her family?"
Li Duo waved his hand, "No need, it's nothing more than the same old things."
"My father wants me to get engaged to Lin Jingyu. This wasn't something Li Yuanqing said; it was Lin Jingyu who brought it up with the Lin family, which is why the Lin family informed my father."
Li Liangfeng remained silent. "Miss Lin was personally chosen by President Li. Why did President Li suddenly change his mind? Is it because of Miss Wen?"
Li Duo was taken aback. He looked up at Li Liangfeng in the rearview mirror and said, "It has nothing to do with her. I just suddenly realized that Lin Jingyu is not the person I'm looking for."
"I always have this feeling that the person from back then wasn't her..."
Li Liangfeng was taken aback. "Not her? Didn't President Li say back then..."
“Who knows?” Li Duo said, “I was convinced it was her back then, but later I became less and less certain. Maybe I was wrong?”
Four years ago at the Golden Summit Club, he had a passionate night with a woman, but when he woke up, she had already left.
The only thing he remembered was the refreshing woody scent emanating from the other person.
Later, he had someone investigate, and a staff member confirmed that they saw Lin Jingyu hurriedly leave his room, and the perfume Lin Jingyu was wearing was woody.
Li Liangfeng asked, "Does President Li suspect that the woman from back then was someone else?"
