Li Duo lowered his head and smiled, "Father, my mind is made up, my resolve is firm. Today is the day I bid you farewell. I hope you will enjoy good health and all the best in the future!"
After Li Duo finished speaking, he took a step back, then knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Li Zhonggeng with utmost respect and solemnity.
He then stood up, reached out and opened the door, and left without looking back.
Li Zhonggeng was stunned by his series of actions. The door slammed shut, and he stood dejectedly in the study, as if his soul had been ripped away. He didn't move for a long time.
Li Yuanqing, who was waiting outside, only saw Li Duo leave the study, but she didn't know what had happened inside. She frowned and knocked on the study door. After a short while, she jogged to catch up with Li Duo.
"Li Duo, what did you say to Dad? What are you trying to do? You just came back without saying a word, and then you left again like this?"
Li Duo stopped and turned to look at Li Yuanqing, saying in an extremely sincere tone, "Third Sister, the Li family will depend on you from now on."
Li Yuanqing was taken aback. What did that mean? What did it mean that the Li family was counting on her?
The next second, Li Yuanqing reacted, her face pale as she looked at Li Duo, "You wouldn't abandon the Li family for that woman Wen Shu, would you? Are you crazy? It wasn't easy for the Li family to raise you, and it wasn't easy to nurture you. You're going to abandon your family for a woman?"
Li Duo chuckled lightly, "Third sister, I'm not like you. You can sacrifice your personal happiness for the sake of the family and for the benefit of the family, but I can't."
"You're willing to forgo dating and marriage to wait for this day. You once devoted yourself entirely to your studies, and after completing your studies, you devoted yourself entirely to your work. I admire you for that. It's only right that you inherit the Li family business."
“I am so glad that the Li family has a daughter like you. You have also shown my father that even a daughter can become a successor who is even better than a son.”
He nodded. "You deserve everything you have now."
Li Duo slowly exhaled, "Finally, I still want to remind you about the Hongjiang project. While the other party is currently raising even more investment, I advise you to withdraw your shares as soon as possible. Once they have collected more funds and can start reaping the benefits, that's when the Hongjiang project will collapse."
After saying this, Li Duo ignored Li Yuanqing and walked directly toward the highway of Immovable Mountain.
Li Liangfeng frowned, standing at the foot of the mountain, staring intently at Li Du: "President Li, is it really necessary to go this far?"
Li Duo glanced at him, his expression somewhat helpless. "This is a step I've already planned."
He walked over to Li Liangfeng and patted him on the shoulder. "From now on, I'm no longer your CEO Li. You'll see how the Li family rearranges things for you."
Li Liangfeng glanced at him. "I am surnamed Li, but the Li family doesn't treat me like an adopted son. They treat me more like an investment."
“I’m not a real member of the Li family. My current job is also under a contract with the Li family, not a lifelong slave system. I don’t need the Li family to arrange things for me. I have my own plans.”
Li Duo was stunned by Li Liangfeng's words for a long time. He sighed and nodded, "I understand. Then I wish you good luck in the future."
After Li Duo finished speaking, he walked down the mountain.
He was halfway there when a brand new electric scooter came towards him.
Upon seeing him, the electric scooter gradually slowed down and stopped in front of him.
The person riding the electric scooter reached out and took off his helmet, revealing Wen Shu's face.
Wen Shu said, "I've been to Mount Budong before, and I know it takes a very long time to walk down the mountain, so I've come to pick you up!"
Li Duo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his nose tingled and his eyes reddened.
He moved his lips, but didn't say a word. Wen Shu took another helmet from the front basket, shoved it into his arms, and said boldly, "Get on!"
Those who know her know she rides an electric scooter; those who don't might think she drives a Maybach.
"Grandma, what do you think of this house?"
The agent looked at Grandma enthusiastically, and Grandma nodded as she looked at the apartment: "Not bad, it's a bit expensive, but it's a short-term rental, and it's close to my place, so moving will be convenient."
Grandma signed the contract directly with the agency, and Wen Rou Rou jumped around happily, saying, "We're moving to a new house!"
Grandma patted his little head: "This is a temporary home. We'll buy a big house later. That will be our own home."
When Wen Shu and Li Duo arrived, Grandma had already signed the contract with the agent.
Wen Shu was a little dumbfounded, "Grandma, you've already signed it?"
Grandma glanced at her and said, "What? Can't I run this household anymore?"
Wen Shu quickly waved her hand, "That's not what I meant..."
Grandma said calmly, "I'll only be staying in this house for a few months. I think it's fine. I know you're busy, so to avoid any more trouble, I'll just sign the contract."
Wen Shu quickly nodded, "Yes, I think it's pretty good too."
Once the contract was signed, they started moving their things into the house.
Wen Shu then discovered that her grandmother had put the previous house up for sale.
Wen Shu asked in shock, "Grandma, are you going to sell the house?"
Grandma nodded and said, "Yes, out with the old, in with the new. I'm planning to sell this house, and then you can add some money to make a down payment and buy a bigger house, which will be your home!"
Wen Shu stood there stunned. "Grandma, what are you talking about? We've kept this house all these years, no matter how hard or difficult things got, we never sold it. Why are you thinking of selling it now?"
Grandma said, "I refused to move or sell the house back then because I was afraid that one day your aunt and her third grandmother would come knocking on the door, so I moved away."
“But things are different now. I’ve found her, and this house is a thing of the past for me.”
"Besides, this house won't appreciate in value or be converted into cash if I keep it. It's in an old neighborhood, and the location isn't great. Wouldn't it be better to sell it and buy a new one?"
“You and Li Duo are going through a tough time right now. Li Duo leaving the Li family means he has lost the family’s prestige and will have to rely on himself for everything. There are many places where you need money.”
"Rou Rou needs to go to school, and we need a house in a good school district. I really can't come up with any other large sums of money. This house is the only thing I have that's valuable. If it can help you, then all the years of taking care of me won't have been in vain..."
Wen Shu's eyes immediately reddened. "Grandma, what are you saying? Who is taking care of whom? If it weren't for you, would I have grown up like this?"
Grandma sighed and patted Wen Shu's head. "Alright, alright, it's all Grandma's fault. I almost made you cry."
Grandma had some difficulty touching Wen Shu, and only then did Wen Shu realize that Grandma was getting old.
