Long Yin had clearly been waiting for Li Duo's expression. He said loudly and triumphantly, "Speaking of which, she's an old acquaintance of yours. My fiancée is Wen Shu. Young and beautiful, just my type."
Li Duo gritted his teeth and said, "Since you know that he and I are old acquaintances, you should also know that he and I have a child, right?"
Long Yin said loudly, "I know, that's why I chose her. If she didn't have children, what would I need her for?"
"After all, Brother Li must have heard the rumors outside. I'm not afraid of making a fool of myself, so I'll just tell Brother Li the truth: the rumors are true. So, I'm more than happy to have Wen Shu get engaged to me with her child already."
Li Duo clenched his fists. "Long Yin, did you think carefully before you said those words?"
Long Yin said without any hesitation, "Of course it was a well thought out. You have to know that in the entire North City, in the eyes of all the aristocratic parents, including my parents, Brother Li is a dragon among men."
"A child born from Brother Li's genes shouldn't be too bad. When the time comes, I'll only need to put in a little effort to pick up a free son and raise him to be the heir of the Long family... Oh, just thinking about it makes me so happy!"
Li Duo was so angry that he wanted to rush up and hit someone.
Long Yin's expression remained calm, but his words left his parents utterly dumbfounded.
"Longyin, what nonsense are you spouting? How can you talk such nonsense?"
Long Yin chuckled and said, "Mom and Dad, how can you call this nonsense? Everything I said is the truth!"
"There's no smoke without fire. Haven't you ever wondered how I could have been fooling around outside for so long without any women getting pregnant?"
"You don't actually believe the rumors are false, do you? You think I deliberately released a smokescreen to mislead you? I confess, the rumors are all true!"
Longyin's father almost stood up and hit him.
Regardless of whether it's true or not, he dared to say such things in front of Li Duo. Does he really not want to make things right?
Because Long Yin's parents were present, Li Duo didn't directly confront Long Yin, but his expression was extremely unpleasant.
He suddenly stood up and said to Long Yin, "Let's talk in private."
Long Yin spread his hands. "What? What can't you say in front of my dad? My dad likes you so much, he treats you like his own son, and you still want to hide it from him? How formal!"
Li Duo gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, "Long Yin, I'm saving face for you."
Upon hearing this, Long Yin sighed, stood up, and said, "Since things have come to this, let's go. Shall we go to the gym and get some exercise?"
Once you go there, your parents naturally won't go with you.
Li Duo and he went straight to the gym. Long Yin took off his shirt, grabbed a pair of boxing gloves, and threw them at Li Duo. "If you beat me, we can talk things over. If you lose, you can get out of here the way you came."
Li Duo looked at the boxing gloves he had thrown in his hand, then gave Long Yin a cold glance. "You said it yourself."
Long Yin nodded and said, "Yes, I said it. I'm a man of my word."
The Long family parents listened from outside. Inside the gym, there were loud bangs and the sound of fists hitting bodies. They had no idea how much of a fight was going on inside.
The couple were very worried.
Half an hour later, it suddenly became quiet inside.
Long Yin's mother was very worried and wanted to go in to check, but Long Yin's father grabbed her arm and said, "What are you doing?"
Long Yin's mother said worriedly, "Let me see if anyone is injured. That's the eldest son of the Li family. If something really happens, especially in our house, who can escape responsibility?"
Long Yin's father said, "Young people have their own ways of solving problems. Why are you meddling in other people's business? I think Long Yin is just not convinced by Li Duo."
"Since he doesn't want us adults to get involved, it means he can handle this. When he comes out, we can ask him what happened. Besides, I believe they know what they're doing."
Hearing this, Longyin's mother could only suppress her worries for the time being.
The two people inside were panting heavily.
Both of them collapsed to the ground. The fight had been too intense, causing their strength to drop rapidly, and they had very little energy left.
Long Yin slowly got up from the ground and said, "I keep my word, you win. Now, tell me, what do you want? What are your conditions?"
"Oh, I see. You came for Wen Shu, so you want me to cancel the engagement ceremony? Fine, a bet's a bet, I'll cancel it."
He hadn't mentioned this to his parents in the first place, because he had anticipated that Li Duo would come looking for him.
Li Duo was originally a domineering person, and he could not stand by and watch his woman and child fall into the arms of another man.
Li Duo looked up at Long Yin and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Who said the engagement was canceled? The engagement ceremony will proceed as scheduled. We will do exactly what we planned."
Long Yin was immediately surprised. "What? Did you suddenly have a change of heart after the event? Decided to give your woman to me? Or do you think I'm a responsible and good man, and you feel comfortable entrusting your wife and children to me?"
"I thought you came here tonight to force me to cancel the engagement, but I never expected this."
Li Duo glanced at Long Yin and said, "If we cancel the engagement now, Wen Shu will definitely guess that it's because of me. In that case, she will only hate me more. So the engagement must not be canceled."
Long Yin immediately whistled, "What a treacherous man! You're not planning to cancel the wedding right before it's close, and then make Wen Shu hate me, are you?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, if that's the case, then you're too wicked. You'd better be careful, if Wen Shu finds out the truth, she'll probably hate you even more."
Li Duo didn't speak, but simply snorted softly through his nostrils, "I naturally have my own plans!"
"Ms. Wen, your donation inquiry has been confirmed. Here is your donation certificate."
Wen Shu received the donation certificate and took it home to show her grandmother. Her grandmother had mixed feelings.
"What are you thinking, kid? On one hand, you want to apply for government subsidies and awards, and on the other hand, you're donating money away. Do you need money or not?"
Wen Shu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Of course I'm short of money, but Grandma, some money is really ill-gotten gains to me."
“If I use that money to enjoy myself, my conscience will be uneasy. I would rather donate that money and then earn money through my own abilities.”
Grandma was both relieved and saddened. She didn't know whether Wen Shu's personality was a good thing or a bad thing!
Just then, another guest came to visit.
A gentle knock sounded at the door, and Shen Jingyao's gentle voice came from outside: "Is anyone home?"
