Chapter 299: The Battle of Urging Marriage
The moonlight is beautiful tonight.
Old Master Li held a banquet at his residence to entertain his future granddaughter and son-in-law. Unfortunately, Bai Shu and her mother did not come because his mother said she could not come for dinner and would come after dinner.
I don’t know what the rules are, or what rules she has in her mind.
Bai Shu's living conditions are very good now. He lives in a three-story villa of nearly 400 square meters. He has two servants at home, one who cooks and the other who cleans.
Bai's mother also felt like a local landlord, and she was very arrogant, thinking that she was a rich old lady now.
She had suffered for most of her life. Her husband left her very early, and she raised her son alone, hoping that he would have a bright future. Now that he has achieved such success, she attributes half of the credit to herself, and the other half is that she thinks Bai Shu is good enough, so she is quite strict in choosing a daughter-in-law, and even thinks that no woman can be her daughter-in-law.
In other words, no woman in the world can compare to her.
Therefore, she hesitated when the Li family invited her to dinner. She was not the kind of person who could eat with anyone casually. Besides, she had seen Rong Qian. Although she was good-looking, she was a second-married woman and was still a second-hand product. She was not a good match for her own son. Moreover, she was a dancer, just like those actors in ancient times.
Bai's mother then became proud, but she was also curious about what kind of family the Li family was. After hearing Bai Shu say that it was a wealthy family, she made an appointment to go and take a look after dinner. Could it be even bigger than the villa she lived in?
The Li family didn't think anything of it. They had no intention of speculating about others. They just thought that the old lady who had just come from the countryside was shy and not used to eating with strangers, which was understandable.
An Yan was eating fruit, and Mr. Li was sitting next to her.
Mr. Li looked her up and down and said, "You haven't come to see me for a long time."
"His legs are all healed now," An Yan said with a smile. She thought she'd need to come less often in the future, as the old man's previous physical discomforts had been cured. She came today to bring him some new medicine with Ganoderma lucidum added to it, specifically to nourish him.
Old Master Li asked An Yan, "Has Bai Shichen been looking for you a lot recently?"
"Not much." An Yan answered instinctively, but suddenly felt that the question was strange and asked Mr. Li, "Why did he come to see me? Why do you think so?"
"I was just asking casually, just chatting." Old Master Li felt that Li Rongsen was too useless. He still hadn't married An Yan home, so what use was he to?
Li Rongsen was discussing the matter concerning Bai Shu with Rong Qian, and he spoke in a very logical manner.
This made Master Li dislike him even more. He thought that he was only good at talking, so he said to An Yan, "Look at Rong Sen. He talks about his sister in a lot of ways, but he himself still can't find a girlfriend."
"I've been too busy with work lately."
"This is just an excuse. I'm afraid he just doesn't have the ability." Master Li snorted.
Li Rongsen heard the snort. He turned to look at Old Man Li and said, "Grandpa, Rong Qian just contacted Bai Shu. They will be here in half an hour."
"How capable is Bai Shu in working for you?" asked Mr. Li.
"He's quite good, a talented person." Li Rongsen told him everything.
"If you compare him, who do you think has better abilities?" Mr. Li asked again.
"I think it's hard to compare. Everyone has their own expertise." Li Rongsen said modestly.
Old Master Li snorted heavily and said, "I'm not talking about work, I'm referring to the relationship. It's obvious that the other person is more capable than you, and it's almost to the point of discussing marriage. What about you? Are you seeing any progress?"
Li Rongsen was really depressed. He was afraid to see Old Man Li recently because this was the only thing he talked about when they met. But he had no choice. He also wanted to establish a relationship with An Yan as soon as possible.
What's more, there is also Wen Jiaer who appeared today.
"Why doesn't Jiaer come to see me at home?" asked Mr. Li.
"He is not in good health." Li Rongsen replied.
"Have you let An Yan see it?" Mr. Li asked again.
Li Rongsen glanced at An Yan and said, "An Yan has been treating him, and his condition has improved a lot now."
"An Yan, don't work too hard. Let Rong Sen worry about everything. You just need to give him instructions." Old Master Li spoke to An Yan in a gentle and kind voice.
An Yan lowered her eyes and said, "He has a job, so naturally his work is the most important thing."
"That's not right. Working for you is the most important thing. This is his priority." Old Master Li glanced at Li Rongsen.
Li Rongsen quickly responded: "Yes, yes, Grandpa."
An Yan felt that Li Rongsen was really a little white rabbit in front of his grandfather. He was so obedient and well-behaved that people hardly recognized him. He didn't have the temperament of a CEO at all.
"Hurry up and find a girlfriend to go home. Be faster and work harder!" Old Master Li almost yelled.
Li Rongsen nodded. He was really suffering.
An Yan suddenly felt sympathy for Li Rongsen, and listened to what Old Man Li said again: "How about this, if you can't find a girlfriend within three months, don't go home, and you won't have a share of anything in the house. When you bring your girlfriend home, you can come back to recognize your relatives."
"Grandpa, are you going to sever ties with my brother?" Rong Qian was a little surprised.
"Yeah." Old Master Li closed his eyes and said yes. He was serious.
Rong Qian added, "Grandpa, how can this be? My brother didn't do anything wrong. Having a girlfriend is all about fate."
"I didn't force him. This is what I did." Old Master Li said as he looked at An Yan and said, "I'm already so old, and I still can't wait for him to have a girlfriend. My life is miserable. Maybe one day it will be over."
"Grandpa, please stop talking nonsense." Li Rongsen frowned.
"How dare you criticize me? Go find a girlfriend and stop talking nonsense to me. If you can't find one in three months, I will let your mother walk out of the Li family!" Old Master Li seemed to have made up his mind.
Li Rongsen's heart trembled, and Rong Qian was even more frightened. She quickly said, "Grandpa, how could you force my brother like this?"
Mr. Li didn't say anything.
An Yan, who was standing aside, didn't say anything. She deeply felt how terrible it was to be urged to get married. When she saw that Li Rongsen seemed to be about to get angry, she pulled his clothes and motioned him to go aside.
Li Rongsen therefore restrained himself first.
Grandpa Li was quite happy to see them leave together. He said to Rong Qian, "You performed very well just now. Grandpa will reward you."
"Grandpa, that's enough. If my brother gets serious, he might really run away from home."
"With your mother here, he won't do that. He can only bring back a girlfriend. You see, An Yan pulled him away just now. Maybe she went to give him some advice. You instigated An Yan to help him. Pretending to be your brother's girlfriend is also a trick. Then make the fake become real, and the matter will be done just like that." Grandpa Li thought this was a good idea.
Rong Qian's forehead was covered with sweat. She said, "Grandpa, please stop reading those romance novels about overbearing CEOs. The stuff in them is all fake."
"What do you know? He has his good points too." Mr. Li disagreed.
Rong Qian sighed inwardly and looked at An Yan and Li Rongsen, wondering if these two people were destined to be together after a long wait. Why was there no sign of them getting together? Could it really be because of Wen Jiaer?
On the other end, An Yan said to Li Rongsen, "Don't argue with your grandfather. I have a good idea."
"Can you help me find a girlfriend?" Li Rongsen was very surprised.
