My newlywed husband is infertile, but I’m pregnant

Li Cheng had never suffered such a social setback.

He still said patiently: "Don't worry, Mr. Huo, we are very thorough. How could we allow such an accident to happen?"

"After the accident, you will shirk responsibility. You didn't expect it. I'd rather not risk my life. Mr. Li and Mr. Pei like to eat seafood, so eat more. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to have a bite of this in the future."

Qiao Xi sat aside, covering her mouth and laughing silently.

How could she forget that Xingzhou's mouth was even more poisonous than Sun Shao's.

If he had a sharp tongue, few people would be able to get anything out of him. He came to the banquet tonight on purpose to cause trouble.

"Huo Xingzhou, what do you mean?" Pei Zheng's patience was exhausted. He had already torn his relationship with Huo Xingzhou, so there was no need to be polite.

Li Cheng, on the other hand, had to pretend to be a good person and try to mediate.

He looked left and right, his face full of helpless and bitter smiles, as if he wanted people to know how uncomfortable he felt being caught between these two people.

Huo Xingzhou put the wine glass on the coffee table and said, "There's nothing to eat in prison. But if that day comes, I will definitely bring these things to see President Pei."

"you……"

Pei Zheng immediately stood up and said, "Boss Li, I have something else to do at home, so I'll leave first!"

After saying that, he left.

Li Cheng laughed dryly and said, "Boss Huo, what on earth is going on? Even if there is a conflict between you and Boss Pei, there is no need to confront each other like this."

"It's not a conflict, it's a mortal feud." Huo Xingzhou looked at Li Cheng dimly and said, "Mr. Li, you must choose the right person and get on the right boat. Otherwise, if you do something wrong, it will implicate the entire family."

"Haha." Li Cheng smiled perfunctorily, "I don't quite understand what ship is, but I do my job and do my duty. Thank you, Mr. Huo, for reminding me."

Seeing that he was still pretending to be stupid, Huo Xingzhou did not point it out.

When the time comes, he will show no mercy.

Li Cheng asked for it, and Pei Zheng did not force him at all.

"Boss Huo, I also want to remind you of something. After all, the Pei family has a long history in the capital, so why do we have to make such a fuss? If we work together, wouldn't it be great if we could all make money together? After all, there are no eternal enemies in this world, but doing business means eternal benefits."

"It seems that Mr. Li has become obsessed with money."

Huo Xingzhou smiled coldly, "If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. Mr. Li should discipline his daughter more when he has time."

"It's all because Mr. Huo is so charming. Young girls who haven't seen much of the world are easily attracted by appearances."

Huo Xingzhou smiled and helped Qiao Xi up: "It's getting late, we'll leave first. I hope that Mr. Li's welcoming banquet tonight will be a complete success. We won't stay for the banquet."

He left halfway, obviously not wanting to give Li Cheng face.

Li Cheng did not stop them. He just felt that the Pei family deserved to be punished by the Huo family. Huo Xingzhou was too domineering!

Pei Zheng and Huo Xingzhou left one after another, and some people at the banquet also asked to leave.

Those people were originally coming for the Huo and Pei families, and the Li family really didn't have that much face. After a while, there were only a few small soldiers and crab generals left, and Li Cheng didn't have any intention to deal with them.

"Sir, the old lady asked you to go to the room and said she wanted to talk to you about something."

"understood."

Li Cheng waved his hand impatiently.

His mother was old-fashioned, very polite and face-conscious. If the Li family had accepted the jewelry store given by the Liu family, they would have been much better off. They clearly had such a good relationship with the Liu family, why didn't they take advantage of it for so many years?

She was really only concerned about her own noble character, and didn't care about the younger generations like them who were surviving in the cracks.

After Li Cheng socialized for a while, he went to the old lady's room.

He still did a good job in his overt work.

knock knock.

He knocked on the door, and when he got a response he pushed it open and went in.

"Mom, what do you want to talk to me about? I'm very busy tonight, and I have a lot of guests downstairs to deal with."

Madam Li looked serious. "Aren't the two people who need to be dealt with the most already gone?"

"Mom is really good at seeing things. But I just returned to the capital, and I have to make friends even with small fry. The Li family's assets will have to be moved to the capital in the future, so it's not a good idea for us to wander around outside forever."

Madam Li looked at him and said, "I thought you wanted to keep this business going for a long time."

She pointed to the stool in front of her and said, "Sit down. We haven't talked for a long time."

"Mom, is there anything you can't say at other times? Why do you have to say it at a time like this?" Li Cheng complained, but still sat opposite the old lady.

"You must send Li Nianqi abroad." Old Mrs. Li said in a cold voice, without any discussion, only notification.

She really couldn't tolerate that granddaughter!

She heard everything that happened at the party tonight.

Too shameful!

An unmarried girl is drooling over someone else's husband and even tries to provoke the original wife.

She is crazy!

When Old Mrs. Li thought about how Li Nianqi grew up by her side, she felt that she would not be able to face the ancestors of the Li family after her death.

"How did Nianqi make you angry? She has restrained herself since returning to China."

"Li Cheng, do you think I'm old and confused? She covets Huo Xingzhou! And she did such shameless things. After all, our Li family was a family of scholars and nobles several generations ago."

"There's no reason for a little girl to like something. Since she likes it, just let her do it."

"You...how could you become like this! It's so shameless!"

Li Cheng was a little annoyed, "Mom, it's fine if you don't help with the business. Don't blame me for the way I do things. If it weren't for me these years, the Li family would have failed long ago."

"What business are you doing with Pei Zheng?"

"This is none of your business."

"Pei Zheng is ruthless and cruel. Why doesn't he make money on his own instead of dragging you into it? Are you doing some illegal business? Li Cheng, our Li family's foundation can still last for decades, but you can't make any mistakes!"

Li Cheng stood up and said indifferently, "Mom, you don't understand anything. I think I'd better send you abroad tomorrow."

"you……"

"That's it."

The old lady staying at home is also a hindrance. She might even get hot-headed and kill her own relatives for the sake of justice.

"Li Cheng, I am your mother. Have you forgotten the propriety and honor I taught you since you were a child?"

"I only remember that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I don't want to be a loser who is inferior to others anymore." Li Cheng waved his hand and asked someone to take Madam Li away.

……

the other side.

Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi returned to the Huo family villa.

But before he even entered the entrance hall, he saw Aunt Qian coming out with an awkward look on her face, "Master, Madam, you're back? I guess you didn't eat anything at the dinner, do you need me to prepare a midnight snack for you?"

"Excuse me, Aunt Qian."

"No trouble." Aunt Qian had a complicated expression, "But there is a big trouble inside."
