Chapter 68 I will contact you later
Li Beiting's face turned dark on the spot.
So grandpa is going to pretend to be sick just to get him back?
"I don't agree. I want to cancel the engagement."
"What did you say?!"
Old Man Li was so angry that he sat up from the bed on the spot.
"I'm almost dying, and you won't even agree to this little request. You're so cold-blooded!"
Li Beiting sneered at him and said, "I think you are full of energy and can live for another few decades."
Old Man Li: “…”
Only then did Old Man Li realize what he had revealed in his excitement and tried to make amends awkwardly.
"I, this is a last-minute lucidity phenomenon."
Li Beiting frowned and didn't want to continue arguing with him.
"Grandpa, don't joke with me like this again. I told you, I will never marry the one from the Jiang family, and I won't change my mind."
His attitude was firm and there was no room for maneuver.
After all, he liked another Miss Jiang. She was very ordinary, but her talent and cuteness were definitely not comparable to those of a daughter of a wealthy family.
This made Old Man Li so angry that he jumped off the bed and gave his son a lecture.
"You are capable. Look at your father, you were already full of energy when he was this age. Now look at you, you are still this age, but you don't have a favorite partner and you don't want to get married. Do you want to live out your life alone and not let your old man even have great-grandchildren?"
"Who said I don't have anyone I like?"
Li Beiting blurted out these words.
"You..." Old Man Li continued to scold, and when the words came to his lips, he grinned in disbelief, "Are you saying that you already have a lover?"
Li Beiting did not deny it, because when he said that, the first thing that flashed through his mind was Jiang Yao's dazzling face.
Heartbeat often happens in an instant.
"So, Grandpa, I must withdraw from this marriage."
He took the opportunity to propose breaking off the engagement again.
This time Old Man Li did not refuse.
When one reaches the status of their Li family, they don't actually need to rely on marriage to stabilize the family.
After all, he just wanted his grandson to have someone he liked, and it didn't matter who it was.
He believed that his grandson's vision would not be too bad.
"Okay, then I'll swallow my pride this time and ask Old Man Jiang to break off the engagement. Given his temper, he definitely won't forgive me. I'm afraid this will be the end of our relationship from now on."
Old Man Li said this with some regret and went to make a phone call.
Li Beiting didn't care.
It doesn't matter if he offends them, he doesn't need to please the Jiang family anyway.
"By the way—" As he reached the door, Old Man Li turned back, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, "Remember, bring my grandson's wife back to me as soon as possible! I'd like to see what kind of girl can charm you."
…
Li Beiting came back to his senses from his memories, looked at the girl in front of him with pure eyes, and felt that this road might be long and arduous.
…
"It's been resolved, don't worry."
"That's good."
Jiang Yao also felt relieved. After all, Li Beiting had helped her so much. If she encountered difficulties, she would naturally not stand idly by.
"Then Senior, I'll go to the lab first."
She waved to the man and walked into the laboratory.
Li Beiting turned to leave, but suddenly received a message from Xie Hao: [Boss Li, where are you? Hurry back to the company. I have a job that needs your signature.]
Li Beiting replied OK and drove back to Liheng Group.
When I pushed open the office door, Xie Hao was already leaning on the sofa, almost drowsy from waiting.
"Where have you been in broad daylight? Didn't we agree that there's work we need you to review today?"
Li Beiting raised his eyebrows.
"Nothing much. I just chatted with Jiang Yao about what happened yesterday and helped her deal with a persistent stalker."
His tone seemed calm, but it contained a hint of hidden boasting.
To Xie Hao, it sounded extremely harsh.
He felt that Li Beiting was implying something about him and was almost mad with anger.
He suddenly stood up, walked to Li Beiting, and slammed a stack of documents on his desk.
"These projects are all handed over to you. I have to go abroad in the next few days, so please don't disturb me if you don't have anything else."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Where are you going?" Li Beiting asked.
Xie Hao's mouth twitched, and he turned around and squeezed out five words to him, "Go to Australia to recuperate."
I thought I would get a few words of comfort or be asked to stay.
Li Beiting raised his eyebrows and waved at him, "Then you stay for a while, and let me coordinate with Yunsheng on the project."
Xie Hao: “…”
I suddenly felt like I had a heart attack.
He went out and closed the door with a bang.
He finally saw through this heartless and ungrateful man who valued women over friendship!
…
Jiang Yao returned home after a day of experiments and found Jiang Haozhe waiting for her with a happy face.
"Yaoyao, I've reviewed the project with Liheng. You did an excellent job. You earned an extra 10% in profits for Yunsheng. It's all because of your exceptional skills. No one else can replace you."
The more he looked at her, the more he admired her. He thought his niece's technical talent was so high that even the technicians specially hired by the Jiang family company could not match her.
"Since my uncle trusts me, I can't let you down."
Jiang Haozhe nodded with relief, "However, regarding the coordination of technical issues, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again."
"no problem."
Jiang Yao also considered this, "I will contact Director Xie, don't worry."
"Okay, then your uncle will give you a small gift..."
When Jiang Yao heard the word "small gift", he stood up in shock. "Uncle, I really don't need it. You gave me so many things that I can't use them all. I have to go upstairs and get busy. Bye."
She turned around and went upstairs, and sent a message to Xie Hao: [Director Xie, regarding the technical issue, what time are you free tomorrow?]
However, when she returned to her room and finished part of the work at hand, half an hour had passed and Xie Hao still hadn't replied.
Jiang Yao was a little confused.
Did he not see it, or was he delayed by something?
She hesitated whether to make a phone call to ask.
Just then, another message popped up.
Jiang Yao clicked on it and saw it was from Li Beiting: [I'll talk to you tomorrow about any issues regarding the project.]
Jiang Yao was a little surprised.
Hasn’t Li Beiting ever been involved in this project before?
She thought the other party was not very interested.
She asked curiously: [Where did Director Xie go?]
Li Beiting quickly replied: [He's on a business trip.]
【Leave everything else to me. 】
The two replies came very quickly.
Jiang Yao thought that he was familiar with him, so it would be convenient to connect with him.
Moreover, Xie Hao seemed to be interested in pursuing her before, so this was just right, and she felt relieved.
[Okay, see you tomorrow.]
She thought about it, and in order to avoid making him feel unhappy, she sent him an emoticon of a rabbit holding its face and smiling.
In the villa opposite.
When Li Beiting looked at the emoticon package, the image of Jiang Yao holding her face and smiling sweetly at him emerged involuntarily in his mind. He curled his lips unconsciously, pressed the emoticon package and clicked to collect it.
Afterwards, the two parties agreed on a time for the meeting.
Compared to Jiang Yao's smooth sailing, Xu Yueyao's side is already at its wit's end.
