After finally revising the contract, Li Yuan went downstairs in a good mood, wanting to share the good news with his daughter.
"Baby, Daddy has finished revising the contract for you, look..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Yuan fell silent. Only Eddie was sitting on the living room sofa, working on his computer, but his beloved daughter was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's Nan Nan?" Li Yuan asked. "Is she upstairs?"
As he spoke, he turned and headed upstairs.
"Uncle," Eddie called out to Li Yuan, "Nan Nan isn't home."
"Not home?" Li Yuan came downstairs. "Then where did you go?"
Eddie didn't say anything.
Seeing Eddie's expression, Li Yuan understood immediately, and his old face fell.
Eddie smiled and put the computer down beside him: "Uncle, it's undeniable that Young Master Gu truly loves Nan Nan."
"I had heard of Gu Yibei when I was in Europe. I heard that when he was five years old, he accompanied his father to visit the King of L Country. The King of L Country was notoriously difficult to deal with, but Gu Yibei was fearless and calmly met the King's sharp gaze. The King of L Country was very pleased with this and said that Gu Yibei would definitely be successful when he grew up, and he even wanted to adopt him as his godson..."
Even as a child, Gu Yibei was so calm and fearless; one can only imagine how composed he is now.
The reason he was timid in front of Li Yuan was not because the other party was Ling Yinwurens, but because he was Ji Zhinan's biological parent and his dear father-in-law.
"..." Li Yuan's expression was still very mournful, looking pitiful as if he had been abandoned by his beloved daughter.
Eddie noticed the contract Li Yuan had placed on the table and raised an eyebrow: "Is this a collaboration between the Warrens Group and ZN?"
He took it and carefully flipped through two pages, and when he saw that Eddie's expression had also become mournful.
"Uncle, the Warrens Group is also our own family business. You wouldn't fry it until there's not a drop of oil left, would you?"
ZN will absolutely benefit 100% from this contract; the Warrens Group is merely a foil for ZN.
"..." His beloved daughter is gone, and the old father's soul has gone with her.
Thinking of something serious, Eddie's face turned solemn: "Uncle, Nan Nan is your daughter, and the Warrens family will belong to her in the future. I promise to be her assistant and to be loyal to Nan Nan and the Warrens family for the rest of my life."
The reason his uncle made him his heir was because his uncle had no children before, so he supported his nephew to take the position. Now that Nan Nan has returned, it is only natural for his uncle to support his own daughter instead, and he is willing to assist Nan Nan in becoming the future head of the Warrens family.
Li Yuan glanced at him, his expression indifferent, and made no comment.
He stood up and was about to go upstairs.
“My daughter has always been strong-willed and self-reliant,” Li Yuan’s voice rang out calmly.
"I'd rather she be a princess for life than a king."
He had seen and grown weary of family feuds throughout his life. Although the Warrens family was behaving themselves under his leadership, there was no guarantee they would remain so, and he couldn't protect his daughter forever.
Human nature is inherently greedy; once interests and power are involved, there will be endless open and covert struggles.
Although his daughter is his precious treasure, he must distinguish between feelings and family matters. Giving power and position to Nan Nan is not necessarily the best thing for her.
My daughter's world is simple. It's fine for her to start a company, but managing such a large family is not easy.
Rather than putting all the pressure on his daughter, who has never taken over the family business, it would be better to give it to Eddie, whom he has watched grow up and nurtured for many years.
