Li Zhonggeng felt that Li Duo had never experienced the hardships of life, which was why Li Duo was blindly confident.
When he discovers that the outside world is not what he imagined, and when he finds that after leaving the Li family, he can no longer receive compliments from all sides, he will know that he made a wrong choice.
However, Li Zhonggeng underestimated Li Duo's ability to withstand pressure.
The saying "able to take on responsibilities and put them down" perfectly describes someone like Li Duo, who could serve in official positions or work as a farmer.
He had been with the Li family for many years and had witnessed countless employees of the Li family company come and go.
Some people leave with great fanfare, some leave in disgrace, some compromise with clients to achieve sales targets, and some, unable to bear the humiliation, rise up in anger to rebel against their superiors...
He has seen all kinds of employees, and he knows what kind of attitude those without family background or who have left the platform have.
He had already prepared himself mentally; when he decided to leave the Li family, he had imagined his fate countless times.
The worst outcome is starting from scratch, and the worst outcome is simply having to bow down and be humble.
But just like the people he had seen countless times, no matter what means of making a living others choose, working diligently and earning money honestly is never wrong.
Li Duo joined a medium-sized company that had previously collaborated with the Li family. The company's boss valued Li Duo's management skills and his extensive network of contacts.
Even after leaving the Li family, Li Duo's abilities have always remained.
If a good-for-nothing son inherits the family business, he might find it difficult to make a living without the family. But someone as talented as Li Duo can carve out his own path regardless of whether the Li family exists or not.
Of course, Li Zhonggeng's prediction was indeed correct. Those who used to fawn over Li Duo have now become his bosses, colleagues, and business partners.
In other people's eyes, Li Duo had fallen from grace, but for Li Duo himself, it was just a job change.
Without the halo of being the eldest son of the Li family, Li Duo calmed down. He was neither humble nor arrogant, but rather peaceful.
He began to learn to use the gentlest methods, to learn how to handle interpersonal relationships in the company, and to try to integrate into the work atmosphere.
His inherently independent and autocratic nature was quickly discarded by him.
He gradually discovered that not everyone cooperates in work.
He began to understand why his subordinates, whom he had once berated so harshly, had made mistakes...
Two weeks after moving to the new house, my grandmother finally found someone interested in buying the house she had listed. My grandmother was in high spirits and participated in the whole process.
Grandma Li was afraid she would be scammed, so she stayed with her from beginning to end, until the money was in her account and the house was transferred...
That evening, Grandma called Wen Shu and Li Duo together and gave the proceeds from the sale of the house to Wen Shu. "I told you before that you could keep the money to buy a house, and I can keep just one room in the house."
"After thinking about it, Wen Shu wants to start a business, so you can keep this money and decide for yourselves. Whether you want to buy a house or use it to start a business, it's up to you."
"grandmother!"
Wen Shu was a little anxious. Just as she was about to speak, her grandmother stopped her, saying, "Wen Shu, let me finish."
Wen Shu had no choice but to sit obediently where she was. Her grandmother continued, "I sold the house, and I'll give you the money."
"Do you know what this means? It means that this old woman has entrusted my life and fortune to the two of you. You two will be responsible for my life, health and death."
"In other words, you can eat and drink well, but I can't have plain rice; you can eat steamed buns and porridge, but I can't eat coarse grains and wild vegetables. Otherwise, I'll smash your bowls, do you all understand?"
Wen Shu: "..."
Li Duo and Wen Shu exchanged a glance, and then obediently replied, "We heard you."
Grandma snorted, stood up, dusted herself off, and left.
Wen Shu sighed deeply, feeling filled with guilt as she faced her grandmother who had done everything for her.
To this day, she has not made her grandmother live a good life!
At night, Wen Rou Rou hugged his little pillow and quickly climbed onto Wen Shu's bed with his bare feet. He whispered to Wen Shu, "Shu Shu, Rou Rou will sleep with you tonight."
Wen Shu was a little surprised, and with a wry smile, she patted Wen Rourou's little head. "Didn't you say last time that our Rourou is a man and therefore sleeps with Daddy? How come you've sneaked into Shu Shu's room again?"
Wen Rou Rou pouted and said unhappily, "Dou Dou is sleeping so loudly, it's noisy."
Wen Shu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "So it's because Dad snores in his sleep?"
She scooped the warm, juicy little thing into her bed, cuddling its fragrant body, feeling utterly content.
A short while later, Li Duo came and knocked on the door. "Is Rou Rou here?"
Wen Shu was lying in bed in her pajamas when she saw Li Duo coming over. She immediately felt uncomfortable and pulled the blanket up a little higher.
She shushed Li Duo and pointed to Wen Rou Rou, who was already asleep, "He's asleep. Why don't we let him sleep here tonight?"
Li Duo glanced at her and nodded. "That's fine. But he's getting older, so we should try to cultivate his ability to sleep independently."
Wen Shu said she knew, "Just for this one night."
Although the two obtained a marriage certificate, they did not actually sleep in the same bed.
Wen Shu felt awkward, but Li Duo didn't insist.
As for whether her maternal grandmother knew about this, Wen Shu felt that her grandmother probably did, but her grandmother had never asked her about it.
Li Duo didn't leave immediately. Instead, he bent down and gently touched the chubby face of the sleeping baby.
Wen Rou Rou was lying in Wen Shu's arms. He bent down and reached out, and his aura immediately covered the small space above Wen Shu's head.
Wen Shu's heart skipped a beat, and she froze on the spot.
The two of them had intimate relations several times, but during that time they never opened up to each other; it was all about physical indulgence.
At this moment, Wen Shu wished she could slap herself twice. Had she forgotten the vow she once made?
She did give Li Duo a chance by registering their marriage, but Wen Shu knew better than anyone that the most fundamental reason she agreed to marry Li Duo was that she was afraid that the Li family would take away custody of Rou Rou in Li Duo's name.
But at this moment, Li Duo's sudden approach still made her heart pound wildly.
Wen Shu lowered her eyes, keeping her head down without saying a word, her gaze fixed on Wen Rourou's little head.
Li Duo slowly withdrew his hand, but maintained his bent-over posture, and looked up to meet Wen Shu's gaze.
The atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous and awkward. Time seemed to stand still. The sound of Grandma pouring water came from outside. Wen Shu instantly snapped back to reality, quickly looked away, and said calmly, "It's getting late, let's go to bed early."
