Chapter 448: Chapter 448 Chengcheng Acknowledges Her Deadbeat Father
The atmosphere in the conference room instantly beca tense and unpredictable.
As the president of the group, Li Lingyang managed all the projects, so naturally, the bla would fall on him.
“I will find a way to resolve the issues with the resort and the electronic chips. If anyone under dares to do sothing so reckless, I certainly will not cover for them!”
His stern face suddenly turned gloomy, “But if soone maliciously fras us, I won’t hold back either!”
“Hehe, who knows the real situation…”
Chairman Wang said with a sarcastic tone, “I think it’s about ti our company holds a shareholders’ election eting to elect a new president!”
Li Jingtian leaned back in his chair, smiling indifferently, “I have no objections!”
Li Lingyang’s eyes were mocking, “You’re really in a hurry!”
“President Li, it’s not that I’m in a hurry, but the company indeed needs soone truly capable to…”
“Is everyone finished talking?”
After listening to the tug-of-war between the factions, Li Jianbin finally stood up like a decision-maker.
Everyone fell silent, looking at Li Jianbin.
“Aling is the president I appointed. No one knows his capabilities better than . Moreover, since the Li Group is in crisis now, shouldn’t we unite and solve the current difficulties together? What’s the point of all this bickering?”
“Aling, you are the president of the company, so handle these matters. Don’t let and the board down!”
Li Lingyang’s dark eyes were dim, and he calmly responded with an “mm,” “This is my responsibility.”
Li Jingtian’s narrow eyes gradually cooled, and his fingers involuntarily clenched into fists.
The old man is really standing by Li Lingyang as always…
But he won’t stay smug for long.
…
anwhile,
Bolt Hospital.
When Chen Bao and Ningning arrived at the luxurious ward, they only saw their mommy and Doudou watching cartoons, with no sign of Li Lingyang.
“Mommy, where’s crappy dad? Didn’t he stay in the hospital last night?”
Chen Bao was curious.
Ning Yichu thought of Li Lingyang’s hurried ssage and softly said, “It seems sothing urgent ca up at the company, and he had to go back unexpectedly.”
“Even on the weekend, he has to go back for overti. Could it be that bad uncle is causing trouble again?” Chen Bao asked, pursing his small lips.
Ning Yichu’s eyes darkened. Li Jingtian indeed didn’t seem like soone who would take a hidden loss, especially now that he’s no longer hiding.
“I’ll ask him later. Why, do you miss him?”
The young face instantly flushed red, Chen Bao’s eyes slightly trembled, and he pouted.
“Of course not! I was just asking casually. He always likes to compete with for you, mommy, and now, suddenly not being here feels a bit strange!”
“…” Ning Yichu hadn’t noticed until now that she often spent ti with Li Lingyang, and her cheeks imdiately flushed with embarrassnt when her son pointed it out.
“It’s just that things have co up these past two days, so we’ve stayed together.”
Chen Bao, with an air of wisdom beyond his years, said, “Mommy, you don’t need to explain, I actually understand!!”
Crappy dad just wants to court mommy, doesn’t he?
Ning Yichu’s face instantly turned dark with lines, “What do you understand? Young children, focus on your studies and don’t think about nonsense like that!”
“Got it~” Chen Bao stuck out his tongue, then quickly turned his gaze back to Little Doudou beside him.
Doudou got hurt, and who knows how long until she can recover and go back to school.
His small brow furrowed tightly.
“Did the doctor say when you’ll fully recover?”
If you have to stay cooped up here every day, how miserable would that be!!
Talking about this perked Doudou up imdiately. She picked up her phone and slowly typed.
Just now, the doctor had co to give her a full-body check.
Because it’s an external injury, she just needs to rest a bit longer, then she can be discharged…
Seeing what she typed, Ningning’s eyes widened in surprise, and she excitedly said, “So, that ans you can go to school in two weeks? Just in ti to see my and Brother Chen Bao’s performance!!”
Performance? What performance? Doudou was a little surprised.
Ning Yichu looked at her cute and innocent expression and couldn’t help but laugh, “It’s a cultural performance event prepared by the kindergarten. Earlier when you got hurt, I took leave for you, so I didn’t tell you…”
Upon hearing this, Doudou’s big eyes sparkled, and she excitedly gestured that she would attend!
Ning Yichu smiled and tapped Doudou’s nose, then looked at Chen Bao and Ningning, “Have you two decided what to perform?”
Chen Bao raised an eyebrow, “It’s a secret!”
Ningning also teased, “Mommy, you’ll know when you and Doudou co to watch then…”
Ning Yichu raised an eyebrow, “You’re even playing mysterious with mommy?”
“Hehe, we’re going to surprise everyone when the ti cos!”
Seeing the proud little expressions on Chen Bao and Ningning’s faces, Ning Yichu and Doudou couldn’t help but feel a little bit of anticipation.
…
In the afternoon, the originally bright and sunny sky suddenly dimd, enveloping the surroundings in a gloomy aura, as if foretelling an ominous day.
And today, coincidentally, was Shen Jiangqing’s funeral.
She was notorious in the Li Family, spurned by others.
In the end, there wasn’t even anyone to retrieve her body from the operation room…
In the end, it was Li Jingtian, considering Chengcheng’s reputation, who brought her back for burial.
In a private cetery on the outskirts of Imperial City.
Chengcheng stood before the tombstone, looking at the black-and-white photo of Shen Jiangqing.
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
From now on, he would no longer have a mommy!
“Wahh, mommy… Don’t leave … I can’t be alone…”
“Little young master, the ground is cold, please get up!” The newly hired nanny quickly helped him up.
Chengcheng, however, was not pleased, angrily pushing her away, “Go away, I want mommy!”
After the company board eting ended, Li Jingtian ca over, and upon arriving, he saw this scene.
Indeed, Shen Jiangqing’s departure deeply affected his son.
His narrow eyes darkened slightly, and he quickly stepped forward, directly picking up the small guy, who was crying relentlessly on the ground.
His large hand pressed the boy’s head, holding him tightly in his embrace.
“Chengcheng, daddy knows you’re feeling deep pain inside, and daddy feels the sa. From a very young age, I also lost my mommy, but the dead cannot co back to life. We must be strong and look forward, do you understand?”
Seeing Li Jingtian, Chengcheng’s emotions cald a bit, but he was still sobbing.
He looked up with his small, delicate face, his vision blurred by tears.
“But… it hurts so much in here. Mommy clearly had a chance to always be by my side. It’s Ning Yichu, that bad woman didn’t save mommy!”
A shadow crossed Li Jingtian’s eyes, “Ning Yichu only relies on Li Lingyang. Once Li Lingyang is done for, I promise you, I will avenge this for you.”
“Really?”
“You’re my son. I would never lie to you…”
Chengcheng sobbed, feeling a bit touched inside, suddenly recalling what Shen Jiangqing had told him before she died.
In this world, apart from himself, there is no one to trust…
Including Second Uncle!
An uncertain light flashed in his tearful eyes as he timidly asked, “Then if you… marry another woman and have other children, will you still be this good to ?”
Li Jingtian was montarily stunned, his usually sinister expression subtly shifted.
This was sothing he had never considered…
In his eyes, career had always co first. Won were optional, easily replaceable.
“Rest assured, you’ll be my only child.”
The feeling of being a marginalized illegitimate child, he had experienced it and wouldn’t let Chengcheng go through it.
“Second Uncle, you must keep your word!”
Chengcheng hugged his neck tightly, feeling wronged and said, “I only have you now…”
“Then why are you still calling Second Uncle?”
Chengcheng thought of Li Lingyang, feeling a bit sad, but then he recalled how he was now relying on others and that Li Lingyang had reunited with Ning Yichu and their family, prompting him to suddenly make a decision.
“…Daddy?”
Li Jingtian’s lips curved upward, revealing a rare joyful smile, “Good. Whatever Li Lingyang can give you, daddy can give you much more…”
Chengcheng hugged him tighter, hiding the loss in his eyes.
After taking one last look at Shen Jiangqing, he left the cetery.
