Chapter 301 Parting on bad terms
"If your son and my granddaughter want to get married, you can't live together. I will arrange another house for you and hire a nanny and servants for you. You can do whatever you want with them." said Mr. Li.
"No, I want to live with my son." Bai's mother came to the city with the intention of living with Bai Shu until her death. She would never go back to the countryside. She wanted to enjoy herself here.
"Or, you and your son can live in the countryside together." Mr. Li's tone was not cold, but not polite either.
"He has such a good job here, why would he leave?"
"I just heard from your son that he must marry Rong Qian." said Mr. Li.
"Yes, that's my decision." Bai Shu interrupted confidently.
This made Bai's mother very unhappy.
"In that case, we must follow the rules of our Li family and have the elders and the younger ones live separately." Old Master Li said coldly.
"I don't agree. I don't agree to let this woman into the house, and my son won't marry her. She is a second-hand commodity, and my son is getting married for the first time. There is a huge difference between them. How can this be possible?" Bai's mother was completely enraged.
Old Master Li was originally quite patient with her, but after hearing her speak like that, he decided not to be polite anymore. He gestured for everyone to leave first.
Rong Qian glanced at Bai Shu and walked out first.
An Yan and Li Rongsen also walked out with Mrs. Li.
Madam Li took advantage of the situation and said to An Yan, "An Yan, his grandfather wants to kick me out because Rong Sen can't find a girlfriend. You have to help him."
"Madam, don't worry. With Li Rongsen's conditions, there are many women who want him." An Yan comforted her.
"That's true, but there aren't many people the old man would like." Mrs. Li said this deliberately, hoping An Yan could understand what she meant.
But An Yan was very dull in terms of feelings. She had no intention of going anywhere else. She just said, "There will always be one. Maybe I'll bring one back in a few days."
Mrs. Li found this very amusing. She immediately thought that An Yan and Rong Sen might have come up with something. Maybe it was really as Mr. Li said. If they couldn't find one, they would just find one and let An Yan pretend to be his girlfriend. So she deliberately reminded them, saying, "If it were you, I would just fake one and bring it back. Just to reassure Mr. Li first."
Li Rongsen frowned.
"An Yan, what do you think?" Mrs. Li only looked at An Yan.
An Yan nodded.
This made Mrs. Li very unhappy. She felt that the matter was on the verge of being resolved.
Li Rongsen believed that what An Yan said was definitely not the same as what his mother thought.
Rong Qian was more concerned about her own matter. She looked inside from time to time and said, "I wonder what grandpa will say to her."
Bai Shu signaled Rong Qian not to be anxious.
Mrs. Li was not worried at all. She said, "The old man should tell your mother the truth. I'm just afraid your mother might not understand."
In the room, Old Master Li was saying to Bai's mother, "It's true that your son is capable, but his current job was given to him by my grandson. If my granddaughter hadn't taken a liking to him, how could his career have been so smooth? How could he have been so prestigious in his field? You're overthinking it."
"What are you talking about? My son relies on himself." Bai's mother said firmly.
"How about this? I will make it impossible for your son to find any good job from now on. He will have to go back to the countryside with you to feed pigs. What do you think?" Old Master Li was not threatening her, but wanted to punish her.
Bai's mother sneered. She didn't believe it. She said, "You are bullying an uneducated woman like me. I don't believe you. My son doesn't need to rely on anyone."
"Then you just wait and see. Not only that, I will even take over your shabby little house in the countryside, and everyone in the village will look down on you. Do you want that?" Old Master Li asked her.
"I don't believe you."
"Believe it or not, go back." Old Master Li stood up and ordered, "Show the guest away."
Bai Shu quickly took his mother away. In the car, he couldn't help but complain to her, saying, "How could you say that to An Yan? You know how much she helped me, and you actually said she was a servant? How could you tell she was a servant? She's also my sister's savior, and you said that to her."
"Alright, alright, stop nagging me. You didn't tell me in advance." Bai's mother was also furious. "That old man is so arrogant! He said he could make it impossible for you to find a job."
Bai Shu frowned and said, "The Li family's current power cannot be underestimated." He fell silent and said, "Oh, why am I telling you this? You don't understand."
"What do you mean I don't understand? If I don't understand, I'll keep talking until I understand. What's your attitude? I'm your biological mother, the one who raised you. They are outsiders. What are they? My wife is also an outsider."
"You are an outsider to my father!" Bai Shu was also angry.
"Your father died a long time ago. He abandoned us and didn't care about us. What else could he be but an outsider?"
"Are you angry then? He treats you as an outsider!" Bai Shu really couldn't explain himself to her. He had been studying away from home since he was a child and only went back occasionally, so he didn't spend much time with his mother. After spending these few days with her, he realized that it was very hard.
Bai's mother snorted and said, "I'm going back to my hometown. I won't bother you here anymore."
"Okay, I'll take you back tomorrow." Bai Shu said.
"You unfilial son, what are you saying? If I say I'm leaving, just send me off. I've raised you for so many years in vain, how can you be such a heartless thing?" Bai's mother began to sob again.
Bai Shu sighed and didn't want to say another word.
Rong Qian was also feeling extremely aggrieved. She held An Yan's hand and said, "I'm sorry. I got you criticized as well."
"It's okay, but your life will be much harder." An Yan seemed to have thought about her future life.
"Her way of thinking is truly horrible. It's as if everyone in the world wants to take advantage of her. Why does she think that way?" Madam Li was completely baffled and added, "Our Rong Qian is the daughter of a good family and is also an excellent person. How could she be so disdained by her?"
"The more inferior a person is, the more he looks down on others," said An Yan.
"That's exactly what you said." Madam Li agreed and said to Anyan, "You come to our house so often. I always miss you, and I never see Rong Sen bring you back for dinner."
"I've been a little busy lately." An Yan replied.
"No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat." Mrs. Li said with a smile.
Li Rongsen looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time. We should go back."
"Why are you leaving so early? The family is finally together." Old Master Li said as he walked over.
"Come back another day." An Yan said.
"Then you better keep your word. I can't always wait for you." Mr. Li said meaningfully, and then said, "I heard Rong Sen said he is very busy recently and needs a careful secretary. I thought, if you have time, you can go and help him."
"How can this be possible? How can An Yan be a secretary?" Li Rongsen immediately refused.
"What are you doing? Is it possible that An Yan is not yet capable of being your secretary? You are too proud!" Old Master Li took advantage of the situation and asked An Yan, "An Yan, please help him."
"Does a secretary have to be a woman?" An Yan asked.
"That's right. Part of a secretary's job is to take care of his life. This is very important. Only when his life is good can he do his work well." Mr. Li said seriously.
Li Rongsen took a breath, this was too obvious a hint.
