“Chao Chao He He, we should give way to Dad.” Su Ti looked at his son and smiled at the man next to him who was unconvinced but couldn’t argue with his son.
"Okay." The two reluctantly agreed, carefully protecting their mother from both sides.
Mom is pregnant with her baby sister now, and she's very vulnerable.
When Li Baichuan heard that his wife was protecting him, he felt very happy. He knew that he was the only person his wife liked the most.
When the family walked into the hall, many people had already stood up, and even some who were unaware of the situation stood up as well.
"President Li." Nowadays, people in various groups call each other "boss" in private, but in public they all use various "Presidents" to make it sound more prestigious.
"Brother Chuan." Bian Cheng stood at the front of the group. He now held shares in the Chuanda Group.
Even if it's only a few percent, the annual dividends are enough to make many people envious. Now, everyone calls him Boss Bian when they go out.
He was very glad that he had followed the right person and had never wavered in his loyalty.
Li Baichuan showed no expression to the others, only nodding to Biancheng and Master Lu, oh, now Manager Lu.
Then he helped his wife to sit at the front, while Chaochao and Hehe followed closely behind their parents with expressionless faces.
"Why didn't Qingqing come?" Su Ti asked, turning to look at the border town behind him after he had sat down.
"She'll be there later; the stars are making a ruckus this morning." Biancheng's eyes were full of tender smiles when his sister-in-law asked about his wife.
After he married Cheng Qing, they had a daughter who is just three years old this year, a time when she is very clever and mischievous.
He has a dance class today and won't be able to get here for a while; he originally planned to come later.
Qingqing said he couldn't be coaxed any further. He had signed up for the course but only attended sporadically, and his family couldn't stand it anymore.
Suti's eyes crinkled as she mentioned Xingxing; that girl looked so much like Cheng Qing, just like a porcelain doll.
Let alone parents, every time she sees someone, she wants to steal them home.
A few people were talking here, while many others behind them were whispering among themselves.
"Is that the boss of Sichuan University? And his wife is with him?" Many of them are also partners of Sichuan University Group.
But each time they interacted with them, it was always with various business managers in the factory; even General Manager Bian rarely got to meet them.
Not to mention the legendary CEO Li, but since he's sitting in the front row, there's no need to reveal who he is.
"Definitely, otherwise who would dare to sit there? Didn't you see that President Bian stood up just now?"
The others were whispering among themselves.
"That woman with President Li doesn't look very old. Rich people are different; their female companions are really beautiful."
Several people had heard of this General Manager Li; he came from a very powerful family and had even worked in the countryside before, where he married a woman.
His wife even gave birth to his child, but now that he's rich, he's changed wives.
"How dare you talk about her like that? Aren't you also arguing with your wife at home? I heard the other one is pregnant?"
The man glanced at the speaker and could easily hear the smugness in his voice.
"Tell me, what's the big deal? We're not getting a divorce, and the children will still receive their share. I was just having some fun, so what?"
"Having more children means more help when they grow up. I'm thinking about the long term."
The man thought about how he also liked his young wife, not to mention that he already had a daughter and a son, which was too few children.
The woman in my family is getting old and definitely can't have any more children. Why shouldn't I want the baby if someone else is having it? It's not like we can't afford to raise it.
“That’s right. It’s good to have more children, especially sons. Look at the two following behind President Li, they’re probably his first wife’s children.”
"I wonder if there's any trouble at President Li's family. The two kids seem quite affectionate towards their stepmother."
The group looked towards the front, where two children were seen, one serving water to someone and the other talking to someone.
"How can that be the same? Who would dare to cause trouble for someone like President Li? His wife at home is probably afraid of angering him, and the two children would suffer as a result."
"They must be doing this on purpose to show their father what he likes. Just wait and see if they'll still act like this if their stepmother gets pregnant."
The group was discussing something, and Sun Pingping, who was standing not far away, heard everything clearly.
What should we do? Has President Li already found a mistress? Does she still have any hope?
She looked up at the woman. She had never seen the clothes she was wearing before. The dress was shiny and dazzling, and it was obvious that it was expensive.
The necklace and earrings she wore were understated compared to the other ladies behind her, but Sun Pingping thought they looked better.
And then there's her appearance. You can't tell her age; she's beyond simply being described as beautiful.
She was incredibly attractive just by standing there. Sun Pingping looked at herself again and felt inexplicably inferior.
Before long, Biancheng was called up to speak, and after saying some polite words, the banquet truly began.
"I need to use the restroom." Su Ti couldn't hold her urine during her pregnancy; she had just drunk a lot of water.
"I'll go with you." Li Baichuan said, about to stand up. He was annoyed by the endless stream of people coming over to toast him.
“You stay here and entertain the guests. If you leave, people will think something has happened.” Suti knew that many people were watching them.
"Then let Chaochao and Hehe accompany you," Li Baichuan said, still worried.
"Okay, I'll go call them." Su Ti had just seen Chaochao and Hehe being called away by their classmates, but he didn't go to call them back.
She said this just to reassure Li Baichuan; now, even a sneeze from her could scare him.
Suti had just finished using the toilet and came out when he heard a group of people talking outside.
“I heard my wife say that President Li brought only young girls, and that these men are all worthless. My wife even looked envious.”
"Yeah, you know, that CEO Li is really something. He doesn't set a good example at all, acting so openly and honestly."
"I miss the days when my husband was still a hoodlum. At least I could see him every day. Now he rarely comes home, maybe once a week."
"We've made a scene, but what's the use? At least now, he still has to bring me, his first wife, to these important occasions."
"I've figured it out now. All I want is money; I don't care about anything else."
Several women were grumbling and complaining, while also standing up for the original wife of President Li.
Mr. Li doesn't give her any face at all, and she's raised the child for nothing. Compared to him, their lives are much better.
