The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

On the way home, the taxi was dead silent.

Li Zhenshan, who was sitting on the left, kept his head looking out of the car and never looked at Guo Ting from beginning to end.

Guo Ting did secretly glance at her husband several times, but what she always saw was the back of Li Zhenshan's head and the profile of his face. She knew that her husband was really angry.

This made Guo Ting very uneasy.

The taxi stopped at the gate of the compound, and Li Zhenshan pushed the door open and got out. Guo Ting paid the fare in a hurry and trotted behind Li Zhenshan back home.

As soon as Li Zhenshan entered the door, the family's nanny came up to him and asked, "Director Li, how is the old lady?"

Li Zhenshan forced a bitter smile and said, "I did an MRI and there's no major problem for now. I'll do a full body check tomorrow."

"Thank God, Director Li, can I make some breakfast and send it to the hospital tomorrow morning?"

At this time, Guo Ting also came in. When the nanny saw the faces of the two people, she was so scared that she slipped back to her room.

Li Zhenshan did not return to the bedroom, but went straight into the study, lit a cigarette, opened the window, and the cold wind rushed into the room. He stood at the window and smoked motionlessly.

Guo Ting slipped in along the wall like a thief.

She stood behind Li Zhenshan for a long time, but Li Zhenshan ignored her.

Guo Ting began to sob and explained in a low voice: "Lao Li, what happened tonight is my fault. I was too impatient and talked back to mom. I will go and apologize to mom tomorrow."

Li Zhenshan still didn't speak.

"Old Li, I am doing this for this family and for your reputation. If our family really finds a farmer's daughter, outsiders will laugh at us!"

Li Zhenshan suddenly turned around, his eyes blazing with fire, staring directly at Guo Ting, "Our family, what kind of family is ours? Guo Ting, since the day we met, you've known that my father was just a small technician at Gegang, and he died very early. I'm the son of a worker, and I can't compare with you. You're a doctor, and your father is the dean of a hospital, from an intellectual family. You marrying me is marrying down, and I've wronged you for so many years."

How could Guo Ting not hear Li Zhenshan's sarcasm?

If it were in the past, she would have quarreled with her husband long ago, but now she didn't dare to do so. Her husband was angry, so it was better to say less.

Li Zhenshan continued, "Back then, I was nothing. My family conditions were much worse than yours. I was very grateful that you were willing to marry me, so I have been giving in to you all these years. But this time you really went too far. You actually dared to talk back to my mother on New Year's Day. My mother worked hard to raise me alone. More than ten years ago, I was working in Yanjing. In order not to embarrass me, my mother stayed in Ge'an alone. Even after I became the Minister of Metallurgy, my mother was unwilling to return here to live. She would rather go to the Lin family. Do you know why?"

"I know, mom doesn't like me." Guo Ting lowered her head.

"Why doesn't my mother like you? Because you look down on our family in your bones, and you always think you are superior. My mother is also a very strong-willed person. She knows that being with you will inevitably lead to quarrels, and I will be caught in the middle, so my mother would rather live in someone else's house." Li Zhenshan's voice rose several degrees, "Guo Ting, I'm surprised. You are just an ordinary doctor. What qualifications do you have to look down on others? Are you better than others? No, you are a very mediocre person. In the first half of your life, you relied on your father who was the dean of the hospital, and in the second half of your life, you rely on me..."

Every word Li Zhenshan said was heart-piercing, and Guo Ting blushed and turned pale, but she did not dare to refute.

"To tell you the truth, I found out about Changan and that girl surnamed Ma a few days ago. I knew you would have this reaction at the time, so I didn't dare tell you. Guo Ting, Changan is not cut out to be an official. He has lived abroad for too long and is too naive. So our family's history of being an official starts and ends with me. We will never become a noble family. Wake up! If you really find a daughter-in-law who is a good match in your mind, like Deputy Director Huo's daughter, I heard that she is very motivated and does a good job in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It's not long before she can make further progress. With Changan's lazy personality and different values, it will be a problem sooner or later in the future."

Guo Ting lowered her head and said nothing. He knew his son best that Li Changan had absolutely no intention of pursuing a career in politics.

"Zhiyuan told me that the girl surnamed Ma is very hardworking, kind, and modest. She graduated from Yan University. Her annual salary and bonus at Gegang Investment Company exceeds my income as a department head. Such a daughter-in-law is the dream of 99% of families, but you just don't like her... Look at what you do all day, drinking afternoon tea with those so-called ladies, playing mahjong, shopping. How long have you been away from work? If it weren't for my face, the hospital leaders would have fired you long ago for someone like you..."

Li Changan was so excited that he suddenly felt dizzy. He fell on the chair and gasped for breath, which scared Guo Ting.

Now the honor and disgrace of the Li family all depend on Li Zhenshan. If something happens to Li Zhenshan, the family will be ruined.

"Old Li, stop talking. I was wrong. I will no longer care about Changan's affairs. I will go and apologize to my mother tomorrow. Your blood pressure is high, so you must take care of yourself." After saying this, Guo Ting rushed out of the study, hurriedly found two blood pressure-lowering pills, poured a glass of water, and fed the medicine to Li Zhenshan.

With Guo Ting's repeated assurances, Li Zhenshan's emotions finally returned to normal.

******

In the ward, Lin Zhiyuan and Li Changan looked at Mrs. Li in amazement.

Mrs. Li was extremely proud. "Changan, you have to use this trick to deal with your mother. Otherwise, with your father's weak character, he won't be able to make up his mind at all."

Li Changan was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. "Grandma, are you pretending?"

"What else? Can your mother's tricks make me angry?" Mrs. Li looked at Lin Zhiyuan apologetically, "Thank you for your hard work, my old son. I have to trouble you during the New Year. I am fine now, you should go home to celebrate the New Year!"

"Godmother, I'm worried. I'd better stay here with Changan!"

"I've already told you I was pretending. Why are you worried? Go home quickly!" Mrs. Li held Lin Zhiyuan's hand. "After you go home, apologize to Minister Su and your parents on my behalf. But don't tell them the truth. I will have to lie to them tomorrow. If they don't agree to Changan and Xiaoma's marriage, I won't leave the hospital."

Lin Zhiyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Godmother, is this necessary? You don't know, my eldest brother was so worried just now."

"It's what she deserves. A man shouldn't spoil his wife too much. The one who has the final say in this family is Li."

Old Mrs. Li chased Lin Zhiyuan away.

It was already 10:30 in the evening when Lin Zhiyuan returned home. As soon as he entered the door, everyone gathered around him, asking about Mrs. Li's recent condition. Lin Zhiyuan did not dare to tell the truth, and only said that the results of the MRI examination were relatively good, with no cerebral infarction or hemorrhage found, but a full physical examination would be required tomorrow.

The Lin family felt a little relieved and decided to go to the hospital early tomorrow morning to visit Mrs. Li.
