Chapter 661: Chapter 661: Li Tianyi Coughs Blood
Li Tianyi glared at him angrily, his eyes bloodshot.
“Do you know why I hit you? Didn’t I tell you not to ask your grandfather for help? You just ignored my words. Tell , why do you think I hit you?”
Li Chengyan gave a self-deprecating chuckle, his smile thin and filled with helplessness.
“Dad, at a ti like this, you’re still concerned about face.” Li Chengyan analyzed the situation at hand, each word striking ho: “If all we care about is face, what about the future of the company? The twenty million we invested would go down the drain too. For the year-end eting, are you going to present the loss-ridden accounts to Grandpa? Didn’t you say you wanted to surpass Li Yehan and beco the most capable manager in the Li Family?”
This ti, i Tian Sha Zi also stood by Li Chengyan’s side: “Tianyi, there’s so truth to what Chengyan is saying. You’re the second young master of the Li Family. It’s only natural to use the resources of the Li Family.”
Li Ning: “Dad, others want to use such resources and can’t even get them.”
Li Tianyi, rebutted by his family, lost face and beca increasingly irritable.
Before Li Tianyi could explode, i Tian Sha Zi held his hand and spoke softly, “Tianyi, Chengyan and Ningning are doing this for your own good. Even Old Mr. Li has agreed to help. If you don’t accept the olive branch he’s extended now, how heartbroken will the old man be.”
Li Tianyi spat blood.
Under the watchful eyes of the three, Li Tianyi stord off in anger.
Li Ning exchanged a look with Li Chengyan. Seeing his swollen face, Li Ning went to the kitchen to get so ice for him to cool down.
i Tian Sha Zi said, “Chengyan, in the future, just listen to your dad. Don’t go against him. If you force him to do sothing he doesn’t want to, he’s bound to get angry.”
“Mom, I understand.” Li Chengyan did not argue either.
His starting point was not for himself, but for the company.
Li Tianyi doesn’t understand and can’t figure it out.
For the sake of dignity and face, is everything else expendable?
…
When i Tian Sha Zi walked in, Li Tianyi was drinking red wine in the study.
One glass after another, not even savoring the wine, drinking heavily.
“Why are you angry with Chengyan? That child is also doing it for your own good.” i Tian Sha Zi gently advised.
Li Tianyi lifted his eyes to look at her. i Tian Sha Zi felt uncomfortable under his gaze, closed the study door, and locked it from inside.
Moving closer to Li Tianyi, i Tian Sha Zi spoke in a pinched voice, as if afraid soone would hear if she spoke too loudly.
“Why are you looking at like that?”
Li Tianyi: “A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, a mouse’s child digs holes. How could he be my child? He lets down! Not at all like my child!”
i Tian Sha Zi’s eyes flickered: “You’re bringing that up again, didn’t we agree to let that rot in our stomachs for a lifeti?”
Li Tianyi: “That child has no drive, he’s not of the Li bloodline.”
“He calls you dad and ca from my womb. If he’s not yours, whose is he?” i Tian Sha Zi was infuriated, and her words lost their usual gentleness.
Li Tianyi slamd the wine glass down heavily. The anger in his action caused the glass to shatter.
Seeing this, i Tian Sha Zi’s expression did not change, she wasn’t in the mood to indulge him any longer.
“Tianyi, your words really hurt . Ever since we returned to the Li Family, you’ve changed, you’re nothing like you used to be.”
Li Tianyi frowned: “I haven’t changed.”
“You say you haven’t changed. Chengyan wants to help you, yet you hit him. The earlier you would never hit Chengyan, you would’ve praised and affird him.”
Li Tianyi lowered his head and said nothing, and i Tian Sha Zi softly soothed his emotions.
“Tianyi, calm down, consider the bigger picture. If matters here aren’t handled well, what will happen in the future?”
Seeing Li Tianyi not refuting anymore, i Tian Sha Zi sat beside him and spoke a few more words to provide emotional support.
Li Tianyi’s mood shifted from dark to bright, and he began discussing how to handle upcoming matters with i Tian Sha Zi.
…
Old Mr. Li called Li Yehan and told him about helping Li Tianyi.
On the phone, Li Yehan stated his stance: “Grandfather, Second Uncle is also your child. I have no objection if you help him.”
“Yehan, Grandpa knew you wouldn’t mind. But there’s sothing I need your help with.” Old Mr. Li felt a bit embarrassed.
Li Yehan could already guess what Old Mr. Li ant from his words.
“You want to transfer soone from the tech departnt to help Second Uncle?”
“Yehan, without you, this family would fall apart.” Old Mr. Li gave him the highest affirmation.
Li Yehan: “…”
The old man thinks too highly of him.
“Yehan, just this once, the only ti, alright?”
After pondering a mont, feeling Old Mr. Li’s helplessness and plea, Li Yehan finally agreed.
“Alright.”
“Thank you, Yehan.” Old Mr. Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yehan hung up the phone, and Nan Qiao was sitting in his office handling work.
She looked up, and they made eye contact.
Li Yehan’s office was too large, the largest CEO office Nan Qiao had ever seen, with steps leading to the office desk.
Li Yehan had Secretary Zhao prepare a desk next to his desk for Nan Qiao, so when she ca over and had nowhere to work, she could be near him, not so far away.
Previously, he didn’t feel the office was a problem, now Li Yehan just felt it was too big and would prefer it smaller.
eting Nan Qiao’s doe-eyed gaze, Li Yehan’s tone unconsciously softened: “Did you hear all that?”
“I heard, Grandfather really worries a lot for Second Uncle’s family.” Nan Qiao pondered, Old Mr. Li probably wanted to make up for Li Tianyi.
No matter the reason, Nan Qiao wouldn’t interfere much.
“Do you know why I agreed?” Li Yehan raised an eyebrow.
Leaning back in his chair, dignified and aristocratic, his eyebrow-raised gesture carried a hint of playfulness, his unruly yet captivating face easily drew people’s attention.
“Do you want to take the opportunity to infiltrate Li Chengyan’s company?”
“That’s Qiaoqiao for you, always so astutely perceptive, able to read hearts.”
Nan Qiao laughed, “You’re just flattering , but it won’t be easy. They know Grandpa asked you for soone, they’ll surely be on guard.”
“Then let’s see who is more capable, unless all they want is to lose, not win.”
Li Yehan stood up, poured a glass of honey water for Nan Qiao.
Lately, Nan Qiao didn’t like drinking plain water, only wanted flavored water, as everything tasted bland in her mouth.
Nan Qiao took the glass and sipped, it was sweet, she loved it.
“Nan Shan is leaving with my ntor.” Nan Qiao put the glass down.
“Is he willing to leave?”
Nan Qiao gave Li Yehan a sidelong look: “Mr. Li, are you jealous?”
Li Yehan said nothing, his silence prompted Nan Qiao to stand up and sit on the edge of the desk, a position that eased the discomfort in her legs.
“Nan Shan is still a child, and since I’m married to you, why would you care so much about him?” Nan Qiao cupped Li Yehan’s face with her hands.
