Chapter 81 If he fails to marry you, it's because he's incompetent.
Li Mai asked softly, "Grandma, since you already knew, why didn't you tell Zhou Songyan?"
Grandma Zhou held her hand: "Grandma knows you've been wronged. If you want to keep it from him, Grandma will help you keep it from him. I haven't told anyone, not even Songyan's father."
Li Mai was so moved that she cried.
She has few family ties, but Grandma Zhou made her feel loved.
Love from elders.
Grandma Zhou is Zhou Songyan's biological grandmother, yet she is able to see things from her perspective.
Li Mai felt a little guilty thinking about what happened between the kind old lady and Zhou Songyan.
"Grandma, Zhou Songyan and I..."
Li Mai hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Grandma Zhou patted her hand: "Don't worry, Grandma won't force you. You can decide when you want to forgive that brat. If you don't forgive him, it's his own fault."
"As for Chengcheng, he was born to you, so naturally he will stay with you, but you have to promise to let me take care of him."
Since Grandma Zhou has said so, what else could Li Mai possibly disagree with?
"Thank you, Grandma!"
"Grandma, I don't blame Zhou Songyan. We're just not a good match."
"Yes, whatever you think, Grandma supports you. If he fails to marry you, it's because he's incompetent."
Zhou Songyan was speechless when she heard her grandmother's words from the balcony.
I feel that Li Mai is her granddaughter.
...
The Zhou family group chat exploded.
Zhou Songyan's phone received dozens of calls from Zhou Jingtian and others.
He doesn't have time to go back right now.
Sun Yuanjie called to inform him of a meeting.
Zhou Songyan had no interest in the meeting: "Cancel it! Don't bother me today unless the company goes bankrupt!"
Sun Yuanjie: "..."
Zhou Songyan put away his phone, walked over, picked up Chengcheng, put him on his lap, and hugged him: "Little liar, call me daddy."
Chengcheng looked at Limai, and Limai gave him an encouraging look.
He whispered, "Dad."
Zhou Songyan was completely satisfied.
Although Li Mai has not yet accepted him, at least his son has.
This little guy is so clever! He hasn't given himself away in front of me for so long, and he calls me "uncle" so naturally.
Li Mai got up to clear the table.
I was interrupted while eating breakfast, and the food was still on the table.
Zhou Songyan looked up and said, "MaiMai, I haven't had breakfast. Can you get me something to eat?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was kicked by Old Mrs. Zhou: "Don't you have hands? My granddaughter-in-law has to go to work, take care of the children, and cook for you. Don't you have any shame?"
Zhou Songyan: "..."
He put Chengcheng down and walked towards Limai: "I'll do it myself."
Grandma Zhou: "You only make it for yourself! How can you be so selfish! My granddaughter-in-law and Chengcheng won't eat it! I won't eat it!"
Zhou Songyan: "..."
Li Mai suppressed a laugh as she tidied the table.
Zhou Songyan glanced at her: "Happy now?"
Li Mai didn't say anything, picked up the bowl, turned around and went to the kitchen.
Zhou Songyan followed and casually ate a couple of bites of the leftover breakfast from the morning.
"MaiMai, do you have any vegetables at home? I'll cook lunch for you."
Li Mai glanced at him: "No need, you go to work."
"I don't want to go to work."
Li Mai: "..."
In the living room, Mrs. Zhou's phone rang.
Grandma Zhou: "I can tell you for sure that the child is Songyan's, my great-grandson."
Zhou Jingtian wanted to ask something else, but Old Madam Zhou said, "We'll talk about the rest when we get back. I don't have time to talk to you right now."
She hung up the phone without hesitation.
Zhou Jingtian was incredibly excited as he held his phone.
He has a grandson!
He wanted to see the photo of his grandson online, but the news was gone.
However, he quickly realized that his son had asked someone to remove the news.
The Zhou family has always kept a low profile, and before this, the outside world did not know what his son was like.
His grandson cannot be exposed online either.
He wondered how Li Mai's child could be from the Zhou family.
But if the old lady says so, then it must be.
His questions could only be answered when the old lady and her son returned home.
...
Guan Qing was holed up in her small rented room, her face unwashed, her teeth unbrushed, and her hair disheveled.
She spent the whole morning scrolling through her phone.
They also leave comments everywhere, all of them viciously attacking Li Mai.
Suddenly, she could no longer find any news about Li Mai.
All news about Lima vanished into thin air.
She frantically searched various websites but couldn't find any related news.
"What happened? Where did it go?"
"Oh! Is there a bug on the website?"
Guan Qing frantically scrolled through the web pages.
Just then, a phone call came in.
She hung up immediately.
But then the phone rang again.
Guan Qing answered irritably: "Who is it? Are you crazy? I'm definitely busy if I don't answer. What do you want by calling me over and over again?"
"No matter what you're trying to sell me, I don't need it, stop..."
The other party interrupted her: "Ms. Guan, I am from the Human Resources Department of Rongzheng Group."
Guan Qing was stunned, and her anger instantly subsided.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought it was someone trying to sell something. You have no idea how annoying those people are."
"You called me to tell me I don't need to go to Harbin anymore and can stay at head office, right?"
The other party paused for a moment: "Ms. Guan, you really don't need to go to the Harbin branch."
"That's great!" Guan Qing exclaimed with delight.
Zhou Songyan finally realized Li Mai's true colors and knew that she was the most suitable person for him, so he decided to keep her.
Her revelations worked.
Just as she was feeling smug, the voice on the other end of the phone said, "Ms. Guan, you've been fired. You're on Rongzheng Group's blacklist."
The other party hung up after speaking.
Guan Qing was stunned.
What did that person say?
She was fired?
Why was she fired? On what grounds was she dismissed?
What exactly happened?
Zhou Songyan was completely bewitched by that woman, Li Mai.
Will the Zhou family just let Zhou Songyan and Li Mai get entangled?
Just then, someone knocked on her door.
Guan Qing opened the door, and two men in suits pushed her aside and walked in.
"Who are you? Get out! I'm going to call and report you!"
One of the men looked at her and said, "President Zhou sent us."
Guan Qing frowned: "What did Song Yan send you here for?"
"Bring out the information you've gathered."
Why should we give it to you?
The two men didn't waste any words with her. They searched through the files and took away all the information about Li Mai and Cheng Cheng.
...
In the small kitchen, Zhou Songyan, wearing a checkered apron, was slowly chopping vegetables.
Chengcheng glanced at it and tugged at Grandma Zhou's sleeve: "Grandma, will we be able to eat today?"
Grandma Zhou stood up, took his hand, and said, "Come on, Grandma will take you out for a big meal."
Chengcheng exclaimed happily, "That's great!"
He didn't forget Li Mai: "Mom, together."
Grandma Zhou: "Granddaughter-in-law, come on, I'll treat you to a big meal."
Li Mai glanced at the kitchen, a little reluctant, and said, "You guys go ahead."
Grandma Zhou didn't force her.
She could tell that although Li Mai said there was no possibility of her grandson with her, Li Mai was soft-hearted.
This is a good opportunity for them to spend time alone and develop a relationship.
After Grandma Zhou and Chengcheng left, Li Mai walked into the kitchen and said, "I'll do it."
Zhou Songyan avoided her hand: "No need, I'll make it for you."
Li Mai: "I'm hungry, I can't wait."
Zhou Songyan: "..."
He had no choice but to let Li Mai come, and he assisted her from the side.
"Where are Grandma and Chengcheng?"
"We went out for a big meal."
“Great, let’s enjoy some time alone together.”
Li Mai: "..."
