Li Yuanqing glared angrily at Li Duo and said, "Do you think I want to go? If I don't go, am I supposed to send the two old people in the family?"
"How old is Dad? How old is Third Grandma? Would you let them run away? Besides, what right do you have to blame me?"
"Li Duo, this is all the mess you made! If you hadn't caused so much trouble, would I have needed to be the bad guy?"
Li Yuanqing angrily said, "You don't want a partner who is your equal, but you insist on picking some lowlifes."
"They broke up at the engagement party, and she had a child outside. What's the mother's background? Is she a good match for the Li family? If you had any better judgment, Dad wouldn't be worrying so much about your marriage!"
Li Yuanqing looked at him with exasperation, "You blame me for meddling? If you're so capable, go and give your opinion to Dad. What makes you think you can give me your opinion? I'm just doing what Dad tells me to do."
Li Duo sneered, "Do I know you? In every matter, big or small, aren't you always the first to step up?"
"You're the kind of person who thrives on chaos and would love to see the entire Li family overthrown. You're just putting on a pitiful act because you want to impress your father."
"Li Yuanqing, you don't need to pretend to be wronged. We both know what we're really like."
Li Yuanqing gritted his teeth, took a step in front of Li Duo, and said fiercely, "I know exactly what kind of person you are."
"You've got what you deserve, isn't it? What a joke! You still haven't seen the truth. You're only where you are today because you're a male member of the Li family!"
"You benefited from your gender; otherwise, what gave you the right to run rampant in the Li family?"
Li Duo stared at her face. "Since you're so unwilling to accept this, then come and take it. If you succeed, that's your skill; if you fail, you can only blame yourself for being less capable!"
"You consider yourself a strong woman, now I'm giving you a chance!"
After saying this, Li Duo turned around and went to find Li Zhonggeng.
A dozen minutes later, Li Zhonggeng's furious voice came from the study, "You worthless bastard!"
As the porcelain shattered on the ground, Li Zhonggeng roared, "...Just give up on that idea! Born into the Li family, what right do you have to talk about love?"
"Do you think the Li family's wealth and achievements over the years were stolen or robbed? They were earned through generations of hard work and dedication!"
"You think you're the one feeling wronged? You think your love is so valuable? There are so many women in the world you could choose from!"
Li Yuanqing sat in the living room, holding a teacup in his hand, slowly sipping his tea, while Li Zhonggeng's increasingly angry voice rang in his ears.
"You don't need to worry about the Li family's businesses for now. You don't need to get involved in those affairs. I will arrange for someone else to handle them."
"Since your mind isn't on the Li family business, the Li family naturally can't be handed over to you. How old are you, with your mind still full of romantic fantasies!"
"You should reflect on your own actions. Come find me when you've figured things out. I don't want to see you right now, so get out!"
Not long after Li Zhonggeng finished speaking, the study door opened and Li Duo walked out.
Li Yuanqing sat motionless, a smile playing on his lips.
The study door opened the next second, and Li Zhonggeng's voice rang out from the doorway, "Yuan Qing, come in!"
Li Duo brushed past Nie Yuanqing, saying, "Your chance has come."
In the backyard, Third Grandma frowned and looked at Li Duo reproachfully, "Why are you arguing with your father? Don't you know his temper?"
"What good did you do by making him angry? Now look what's happened, he's dismissed you from your job, what are you going to do now? Stay at home?"
Li Duo stood silently in front of Third Grandmother, without saying a word.
Grandma San was both angry and anxious. "Is it worth it for a woman? What you need to do now is bring the child back. As for the rest, you can slowly plot it out, which is better than making your father angry right now!"
The subtext of Third Grandmother's words was actually quite simple: if Li Duo really liked Wen Shu, he should at least bring the child back first.
Once Li Zhonggeng sees how cute and beautiful the child is, he will naturally start to consider the child's needs.
Who in this world can treat a child better than their own mother?
These are things that can be planned slowly, maybe not so quickly, but they are not impossible. Why does Li Duo have to confront his father head-on?
After Third Grandmother Li Duo calmed down, he said, "Third Grandmother, I understand what you've said."
"Actually, this is also an opportunity for me. I have hardly rested for the Li family over the years, so I will take this opportunity to give myself a break and think carefully about what I really want."
Third Grandma said angrily, "What is rest? Is lying at home and sleeping rest? You can rest in the office too, why do you have to argue about this?"
"What good will it do you to argue with your dad? You silly child!"
Li Duo said, "Third Grandmother, I know what you said makes sense, and I know you are doing it for my own good, but I want to try to get this issue done myself this time."
Third Grandma was so disappointed in her child. This child was truly bewitched by Wen Shu, and he didn't care about anything else but her.
Li Duo handed a sealed document to Third Grandmother, "Third Grandmother, the information you've been asking me to find out for you has been found."
"I may not be coming to Mount Fudo next, so I need someone close to you to find out where the other person is."
Li Duo didn't look at the information; after all, they were relatives from the third grandmother's generation, whom he didn't recognize.
For Li Duo, he had absolutely no curiosity about who the people in the information were.
He's preoccupied with his own problems right now, so he can't care about anything else.
Grandma San was about to grumble a bit more, but when she heard Li Duo say that the person had been found, she immediately became excited, "Quick, let me see it!"
Li Duo handed the documents to Third Grandmother and then left.
The people around Third Grandma had already opened the documents and were reading them to her word by word.
Grandma San immediately said, "Quick, help me out. This is the address. Let's go now!"
Li Duo did not move from the mountain. On his way back to his residence, his phone rang.
He opened it and saw a text message from an unfamiliar contact: Hello Brother Li, do you still remember me?
My name is Shen Xiaoqing. We visited the clothing factory before. I'm sorry we haven't been in touch for so long because we're about to graduate and are quite busy with our studies.
I'm contacting you because I just called Sister Wenshu, but she didn't answer. I think she should be with you, so I'm calling to ask you to tell her that the counselor is looking for her.
Li Duo glanced at it, then pressed the back button. He immediately called Wen Shu.
The phone was answered on the third ring, and Wen Shu's voice came through the receiver: "Hello?"
Li Duo said, "It's me, Li Duo. Where are you? A classmate of yours just called and said he needed to talk to you, but he couldn't reach you, so he sent me a message."
Wen Shu initially didn't want to talk to him, but when she heard that his classmate had called her, she said in surprise, "Can't reach me? How is that possible? I'm at school right now, I just went to the bathroom!"
