CHAPTER 608: CHAPTER 608: SO ONLY NAN QIAO COUNTS AS A PERSON—AREN’T THE TWO OF THEM HUMAN TOO?

Old Mr. Li’s response took them by surprise, something they had not anticipated.

Li Tianyi nearly lost his composure and showed his true emotions.

Why would Old Mr. Li refuse such a good deal?

Li Chengyan couldn’t understand, and neither could Li Tianyi.

After all, he is Old Mr. Li’s biological son, his real son! Just recently found, no less!

When it comes to business, why won’t Old Mr. Li help him out?

Li Tianyi felt uneasy inside but didn’t dare show his low spirits in front of Old Mr. Li.

"Dad, I just want to prove to you that this deal will definitely make money."

Old Mr. Li: "Tianyi, I know you mean well and care about me. But I’m getting old and am no longer interested in business. I just want to grow flowers, keep dogs, and enjoy my old age."

Li Tianyi laughed: "Dad, it was my oversight. I was so focused on family affairs that I forgot you should be enjoying your retirement."

Having said that, Li Tianyi saw Li Tianhong arrive.

He thought of another idea, stood up, and went to greet the arriving Li Tianhong.

"Big brother, there’s a business deal. Would you be interested in doing it with me?"

Li Tianhong looked puzzled. Wasn’t he here for a meal today?

Why talk business?

And it’s a family business?

Doing business has always been a sore spot for Li Tianhong.

Li Tianhong has always been fixated on business, yet every time he returns without success, spending money without a sound.

Old Mr. Li had already given up on Li Tianhong!

However, Li Yehan was born and Li Yehan grew up.

Seeing Old Mr. Li give up on Li Tianhong but provide him dignity because of Li Yehan.

Li Yehan showed remarkable business talent from a young age, with an amazing ability to remember things, which warmed Old Mr. Li’s heart.

If the son is useless, the grandson makes up for it.

For this reason, Old Mr. Li still considers giving face to Li Tianhong now.

Li Tianhong couldn’t help but glance at Old Mr. Li.

This...

He better give up.

"Tianyi, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I have no talent or ability for business. Whatever business I get into, I ruin. For your sake, don’t bring me in, as I fear you’ll lose everything."

Li Tianyi: "..."

Li Tianhong, this idiot!

Relying on his father in his youth, depending on his son in old age, so useless!

"In that case, I won’t insist."

"Tianyi, don’t be too anxious. Cheng Yan is so outstanding that he can handle everything on his own."

Li Chengyan gave a humble smile: "I still need to learn a lot from Brother Han. He joined the company early and has a wealth of experience. He’s my model to learn from."

Old Mr. Li: "Speaking of Yehan, this child has been clever since he was young. When Tianyi ran away, the unfilial son Tianhong was unreliable. Without Yehan’s support, I’d rather donate the company to the country than leave it to this unfilial son Li Tianhong!"

Li Tianhong: "..."

A perfectly good gathering turned into a session of his criticism?

Li Tianhong glanced resentfully at Li Tianyi. It’s all his cheap brother’s fault!

Why talk business at a gathering!

Making trouble out of nothing!

Li Tianhong: "Today is a family gathering, let’s not discuss business. Besides, Qiaoqiao and Yehan should be arriving soon, young people don’t like such heavy topics."

Mentioning Nan Qiao, Old Mr. Li smiled, looking outside. He wondered if his granddaughter-in-law had arrived.

"Ah Fu, go outside to meet Qiaoqiao. It’s cold outside, have the kitchen prepare some warm drinks, girls love them."

"Old sir, I’ve already mentioned it. When Miss Ning and Miss Nan Qiao arrive, they’ll be able to have some immediately." Saying this, Uncle Fu went to meet Nan Qiao.

In Old Mr. Li’s words, he mentioned Mei Tian Sha Zi and Li Ning, and Li Tianyi also knew they were benefiting because of Nan Qiao.

If not for Nan Qiao, they wouldn’t get to drink anything warm.

...

When Mei Tian Sha Zi and Li Ning arrived with gifts, they saw Uncle Fu standing at the door.

Li Ning: "Uncle Fu is too courteous, he is grandfather’s confidant, yet he’s here to welcome us. Grandpa is really kind to us."

Mei Tian Sha Zi gave a knowing smile: "Your grandfather is rarely this considerate."

Li Ning: "Uncle Fu, has grandfather been waiting too long? We weren’t late, were we?"

"Miss Ning, you’re too kind. It’s cold outside, you two should head in."

Mei Tian Sha Zi and Li Ning walked inside, but after a few steps, Mei Tian Sha Zi noticed Uncle Fu stood in place, not moving a muscle.

Mei Tian Sha Zi: ?

Not waiting for them?

Li Ning realized too, Uncle Fu wasn’t waiting for them...

How embarrassing.

Mei Tian Sha Zi felt especially heavy-hearted.

Li Ning was ashamed and ran off.

Mei Tian Sha Zi left with her, and not far away, they heard the sound of a car.

Not long after, they heard Uncle Fu happily exclaim: "Young Mr. Ye Han, Miss Nan Qiao, you’ve finally arrived, the old sir has been expecting you both for a long time."

Nan Qiao and Li Yehan arrived and seeing Uncle Fu at the door, Nan Qiao guessed this to be Old Mr. Li’s doing.

"Uncle Fu, why are you outside? It’s so cold." Nan Qiao approached.

"It’s not cold, not cold at all outside. Seeing Young Mr. Ye Han and Miss Nan Qiao come together warms my heart."

Li Yehan: "Uncle Fu, let’s go inside."

"Okay." Uncle Fu followed the two inside.

At this moment, Mei Tian Sha Zi and Li Ning felt even more embarrassed for having thought Uncle Fu was waiting for them.

Old Mr. Li was too much!

Is only Nan Qiao considered a person, and they aren’t?

Li Ning muttered quietly: "Mom, grandpa is really unfair. He’s too biased. Nan Qiao is just his granddaughter-in-law, and I’m his biological granddaughter. How can he favor an outsider over me?"

Mei Tian Sha Zi: "Loose lips sink ships, say less."

Li Ning: "So annoying, Yu Wei caused such a scene at school, they almost caught her, but she turned into a whistleblower. The Medical Club collapsed, yet Nan Qiao’s Medical Society stands strong."

Li Ning complained, her attention not on Mei Tian Sha Zi’s face.

Mei Tian Sha Zi’s face didn’t look good, especially after hearing about this matter.

Yu Wei couldn’t leave the country temporarily and has to cooperate with the ongoing investigation.

If things aren’t cleared up, Yu Wei can’t leave either.

"Mom, is it because I’m not as good? How can Nan Qiao possess such strong abilities? Who exactly is her master, I want to meet them too."

"Alright, say less. This isn’t our home, think before you speak to avoid being caught."

Mei Tian Sha Zi pulled Li Ning forward quickly, not wanting to encounter Nan Qiao.

Her emotions hadn’t calmed, and she feared being seen through if not careful.

Mei Tian Sha Zi and Li Ning walked quickly but were still spotted by the sharp-eyed Nan Qiao.

"Auntie seems unwilling to see us."

Li Yehan held her waist, his magnetic voice as moving as the night: "Because she knows she’s inferior, and in front of you, she feels ashamed."

Nan Qiao almost laughed out loud: "Li Yehan, you certainly know how to talk."
