Chapter 39 Liu Duanhe knew that his parents…
Liu Duanhe knew that his parents were starting to get anxious. They couldn't find a breakthrough for the company, and his grandfather's attitude was gradually becoming clearer. The project he was given was on the right track and was about to fail, so of course they couldn't accept it.
They had completely regarded him as an enemy. Fortunately, Liu Duanhe had never had any expectations of them since he was old enough to understand.
Not all parents love their children. He no longer wanted to be the laughable monkey in Liu Rumeng and Wu Xiuyi's eyes, trying to catch the moon's reflection in the water all day long.
Or rather, learning to endure pain is the only way for Liu Duanhe to grow up.
The darkened screen reflected her sharp features, calm as still water, but her tone was surprisingly gentle, tinged with a smile, "I miss my mom and dad too. I'll go home in a bit, around five o'clock."
Liu Duanhe glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist and said slowly and deliberately.
Liu Rumeng lowered her eyes and furrowed her brows. The anxiety that had been on her face vanished instantly. She calmly offered a few more words of concern before hanging up the phone.
He rubbed his temples, while Wu Xiuyi watched coldly and said sarcastically, "You've wasted all these years. You can't even beat your own son. Everyone outside is laughing at you."
Liu Rumeng's expression turned cold for a moment. Wu Xiuyi's words had directly hit his sore spot. At his level, almost no one could mock him so mercilessly. Even his father, Liu Yi, mostly only hinted at it in secret.
This is the enemy and nemesis of his life, the one he owed in his past life, which is why they are tormenting each other in this life. Thinking of this, a faint regret rose in his heart again. Among so many young ladies from noble families and wealthy clans, how could he have chosen Wu Xiuyi!
Liu Rumeng was used to forbearance, and even though the coldness and disgust in his heart were about to devour him, oozing poison, he suppressed it.
“You’re not the only mother who has never been able to compete with your child. Oh right, it’s the younger generation that surpasses the older generation. The two of us combined couldn’t beat Liu Duanhe. Why are you, as the mother, unhappy?”
He smiled sarcastically and said, "I still couldn't completely hold back." Liu Rumeng secretly reflected on herself.
Wu Xiuyi smiled dismissively, leaning back on the sofa and casually raising her hand to examine her newly done manicure. The bright, sparkling diamonds and gold powder shone dazzlingly under the ceiling lights, extremely exquisite. "This is your family's business, your group. The old man is about to bypass you and hand it over to your son. I'm not as ashamed as you, don't drag me down with you."
Liu Rumeng regained her composure and leaned closer to her suggestively, staring into her eyes. "We're in the same boat. When we got married, Grandpa and your father exchanged five percent of their shares for you and me. The group isn't just mine; it's ours."
Wu Xiuyi hadn't forgotten, of course. She smiled meaningfully and said, "It's not enough. You know I have a big appetite. Your sincerity needs more proof. I won't eat the cake you draw; it's too hard and too dry."
Liu Rumeng knew that Wu Xiuyi was a greedy python. Even if she couldn't swallow the whole prey in one go, she couldn't suppress her greed and would rather be unable to move than not devour it completely.
He calmly raised his hand, a simple and understated ring on his fair ring finger. "We are husband and wife, sharing both honor and disgrace. Apart from the prenuptial agreement, our assets after marriage will be divided equally."
"Tomorrow, the lawyer will come to see you with something that will satisfy you."
Wu Xiuyi initially showed some impatience upon hearing the first sentence, but she perked up and said with great interest, "So mysterious, I hope you won't disappoint me."
