Whenever Grandma Li thought about Grandpa Liu cursing her grandson that he would never wake up, the anger in her heart became increasingly difficult to calm down.
She couldn't help but look at her husband who was sitting beside her, silent, and thought to herself: "This family is really getting more and more outrageous!" Grandma Li sighed and shook her head helplessly.
She knew very well that the relationship between the two families had reached a point where it could not be repaired, so it would be best if they had less contact.
So, she said to Mr. Li: "What people say when they are angry is often the true words hidden in their hearts. Old Liu is clearly hoping that my Jingcheng will never wake up!"
After saying that, she glared at Mr. Li fiercely, then turned and left the living room, heading straight for the back garden to pick flowers.
Mr. Li looked at his wife's departing back, his heart filled with guilt and self-blame.
Recalling what his son said to him yesterday, Grandpa Li took a deep breath and called Li Chen.
"Li Chen, it's me." Old Master Li decided not to continue to indulge the Liu family. After all, the Liu family no longer cared about basic friendship and even couldn't stand to see their family doing well.
In that case, why should he sacrifice his son's interests and help the Liu family clean up the mess just for the little bit of affection left?
"Dad, is there something wrong?" Li Chen was stunned for a moment when he received a call from his father. He hadn't received a call from his father during working hours for a long time. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Did something happen at home?
Ou Yangxuan, who was helping to organize the documents, also looked up. A trace of worry flashed in her eyes, as if she had guessed what Li Chen was thinking.
Li Chen looked at Ou Yangxuan and nodded, signaling her not to worry. Then he turned on the hands-free function of his phone so that Ou Yangxuan could also hear the conversation between them.
The slightly apologetic voice of Mr. Li came from the other end of the phone: "I'm sorry, did I disturb you at work?"
Li Chen quickly replied, "It's okay, Dad. Do you have something important to talk to me about?" As he spoke, he used his eyes to comfort Ouyang Xuan beside him.
Li Chen asked anxiously, "Dad, what's going on? Don't keep me in suspense. If something happened at home, I'll go back and deal with it right away."
His tone was full of concern and nervousness, especially when he mentioned his elderly parents, son and pregnant daughter-in-law at home. These were his family members and no mistakes could be made.
"Yes, Dad, is there something wrong with Jingcheng and Miaomiao, or is there something going on between you and mom? No matter how busy I am, it's not as important as you!" Ouyang Xuan's heart tightened when she heard her husband ask this, and she asked quickly.
After hearing this, Mr. Li waved his hands hastily and said with a smile: "Oh, it's not a family matter, don't think too much, your mother and I are taking care of the family, everything is fine."
Li Chen and Ouyang Xuan looked at each other, and the worry in their eyes gradually faded away, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as nothing happened at home, it would be fine. When Ouyang Xuan heard that her family was fine, her heart finally settled down and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.
She turned around and walked back to her seat, continuing to organize the documents in her hands.
Li Chen was extremely busy during this period and didn't even have time to eat. She had nothing to do at home, so she offered to come over and help.
Even though Ouyang Xuan is a housewife now, her business ability is not much worse than Li Chen's.
If she hadn't been so exhausted from her pregnancy and wanted to take the time to merge her company into the Li Group, she might be the president of a group now.
Ouyang Xuan thought that the company would be handed over to her son sooner or later anyway, so she merged her company with Li's during her pregnancy. However, she did not become careless because of this. She did not forget anything she should remember and handled things as vigorously and decisively as before.
With her coming to help, Li Chen naturally felt much more relaxed.
After Jiang Chen took over a project from Luo Ran's father, he decided to cooperate with Li in order to complete it faster and better.
This is why Li Chen has been so busy lately.
In fact, large group companies like Li and Jiang have not taken over such dispatched projects for a long time, mainly because they are worried that the group will be too powerful and difficult for the local area to control.
The reason for this cooperation is mainly because the charity donation activity led by Xiao Miaomiao was very successful.
It showed everyone the true goal of "taking from the people and giving back to the people" and allowed everyone to see the possibility of mutual benefit and win-win results, which ultimately prompted them to choose to give this project to them.
However, this also makes the Jiang and Li families plan to be more attentive in charity. Before, they were worried that doing charity work would be criticized as a show and be very conventional. But now, in order to accumulate virtue for Li Jingcheng and Xiao Miaomiao, they really want to do it, and they don't care what others say.
Li Chen leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temple with one hand, his tone was filled with fatigue and confusion: "Dad, what's the matter that's so urgent that you have to call me now? Can't you wait until I get home tonight to talk about it?"
The serious voice of Mr. Li came from the other end of the phone: "There is something I must explain to you. Didn't you mention yesterday that the Liu family's cooperation project had problems with inferior products? Don't worry too much, just follow the formal procedures. Let them pay compensation if they should, and let them re-deliver the goods if they should. Don't cooperate with them again in the future."
After hearing this, Li Chen quickly straightened up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He remembered clearly that his father had specifically told him yesterday that for Uncle Liu's sake, he only needed to give the Liu family a warning once and not to be too harsh.
Ouyang Xuan heard these words and also showed an expression of disbelief on her face.
She was also present at the time and understood what happened. Considering the small amount of money involved and her father had already pleaded for mercy, she decided not to pursue the matter further.
Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, my father changed his mind and no longer showed mercy to the Liu family.
"Dad, how did the Liu family offend you?" Otherwise, he couldn't understand why his father would ignore the decades of interaction with Uncle Liu.
"Liu Kai went to a bar and offended someone, and was beaten beyond repair. Your uncle Liu called me and asked me to ask Shen Wang to come back to treat him. Shen Wang discussed Jing Cheng's condition with other doctors, and even the assistant couldn't be contacted and was waiting outside."
"Your Uncle Liu asked me to order Shen Wang to come back. I said I couldn't get in touch with him, and he was studying Jing Cheng's condition. He actually said that Jing Cheng would never wake up again, and that Jing Cheng's affairs were not as important as his grandson's affairs."
"He clearly knew that this meeting was arranged by Shen Wang when Jing Cheng got into trouble. This is actually a critical moment, but he told me that the meeting is not important and asked me not to dream about Jing Cheng waking up." Grandpa Li was also angry when he said this.
