Chapter 37: Ways to Threaten Li Beijue

~8 min read 1,421 words

So annoying!

Why does Daddy always like to speak to people in this commanding tone?

I just won't listen to him!

Mobai thought this, stood up from the bed with a whoosh, and looked in Li Beijue's direction with a face full of defiance.

Then, enunciating each word clearly, he said loudly: "I said I don't want to go! If Daddy wants to go, he can go himself!"

"You!" Li Beijue felt a breath stuck in his chest.

He had anticipated that Yanbao might not agree, but he hadn't expected the desire to resist to be this intense.

"Yanbao, Great-Grandfather is very good to you; he will be sad if you don't go back."

Li Beijue changed his strategy, intending to persuade the little fellow in front of him.

Mobai paused slightly, thinking of the family members Yanbao had introduced to him before.

Yanbao had also said that Great-Grandfather was very good...

But he just didn't want to listen to this bad Daddy!

Mobai blinked his eyes and instantly thought of how to fight back.

"Then Daddy can go tell Great-Grandfather why I don't want to go! Anyway, I just don't want to go out with Daddy!"

Hearing this, a flash of helplessness crossed Li Beijue's eyes, carrying a trace of suppressed anger.

Is Yanbao still dwelling on that matter of investing in Jiang Baobao's Team?

What on earth did that woman, Jiang Baobao, say to him?

"No matter what, there is no room for you to act out today."

Li Beijue took a deep breath, and as he spoke, he was about to step forward to grab him.

Mobai was quick-witted and fast-handed; he immediately jumped off the bed, sped around the edge of the room, and nimbly stood at the doorway.

"Daddy is so annoying! Grabbing people when you can't win an argument! I just don't want to go! Nya-nya-nya!"

Mobai made a face at Li Beijue and actually turned around and ran!

Li Beijue hadn't expected this turn of events; he was stunned for a rare moment, then immediately took off in pursuit!

This brat!

He really is becoming more and more lawless!

"Yanbao! Stop!"

Seeing the little fellow dash down the stairs, Li Beijue hurried down after him.

After circling the living room, he ran straight into the garden at the back.

"I won't stop! If Daddy has the ability, catch me!"

Mobai ran fast on his two little legs, and seeing he was being chased into the corner of the garden, he actually jumped straight onto a small tree!

"Yanbao! Come down!"

Li Beijue's heart tightened suddenly; standing under the tree, he looked at Mobai, who had scrambled up the tree like a little monkey, his expression anxious and puzzled.

When did Yanbao learn to climb trees?

His body is so weak, he shouldn't be able to run this fast...

A vague, strange feeling rose in the bottom of Li Beijue's heart, but he had no time to think about it now.

"If Daddy doesn't leave, I won't come down!"

Mobai roared loudly toward the bottom of the tree and climbed up another section with a scramble.

Li Beijue clenched his fists tightly and took two steps back.

"Fine, Daddy won't force you. You come down first; once you come down, Daddy will leave."

Fearing that Yanbao might accidentally fall from the tree, he kept his eyes fixed tightly on the little fellow in the tree.

Zheng Bo also rushed over with a group of servants, and upon seeing the situation in the tree, he was scared out of his wits.

"Young Master! Why did you climb up the tree? Please come down quickly! Falling down is no laughing matter!"

As Zheng Bo spoke, he directed the servants beside him to stand under the tree to catch him.

Mobai hugged the tree trunk, looked at Li Beijue's serious expression, blinked his big eyes, and suddenly had an idea.

"I won't go down! Unless Daddy agrees to my request!"

He loudly stated his condition.

In an instant, everyone looked in unison toward Li Beijue's direction.

Zheng Bo was anxious and hurriedly persuaded: "Young Master, whatever request the Young Master has, why don't you... just agree to it? If he really falls and gets hurt, the one who will feel the most heartache is definitely you... Why make it come to this?"

Li Beijue's fingers clenched tightly as he looked at the smug little fellow in the tree.

After a long silence, he finally nodded and said: "Fine, I can agree to you, come down first."

Little Mobai, however, did not believe him.

Thinking of Li Beijue's going back on his word last time, he asked unassuredly: "Really? Daddy won't break his promise this time?"

"Really." Li Beijue nodded.

Mobai's little face was still somewhat hesitant.

After thinking for a moment, he said loudly again: "There are so many people listening this time! If Daddy dares to go back on his word, I... I will tell Great-Grandfather about this!"

"I have already agreed, I will not go back on my word!"

Li Beijue's heart tightened, and his expression suddenly became somewhat subtle.

This matter cannot let Grandfather know...

Fearing that the little fellow might really blurt this out in a moment of impulse, Li Beijue simply took the initiative to propose: "If I go back on my word, you can tell Great-Grandfather about this matter again."

Mobai hesitated for two seconds.

Yanbao said before that Great-Grandfather dotes on him very much!

And they meet often!

"Fine, then I'll come down, all of you move aside!"

Little Mobai considered it for a long time and felt that this time, it seemed he could still trust them.

Zheng Bo was terrified that he would fall from the tree and hurriedly said, "Little Young Master, I will have someone go get a ladder right now..."

"No need!"

Little Mobai waved his small hand, hugged the tree trunk and slid down a distance, then immediately jumped down from it!

"Little Young Master!"

Zheng Bo's heart nearly jumped out of his throat.

Li Beijue also stepped forward two paces with a stern expression.

"Li Xingyan!"

He called out Yanbao's full name, his face showing undisguised anger.

"Daddy, why are you being so loud! You aren't thinking of going back on your word, are you!"

Mobai pouted his little mouth and asked back, immediately taking a defensive step back, his small hands also placed on the tree trunk, looking like he was ready to scramble back up at any moment.

Li Beijue closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

He was truly being driven to the end of his patience by Yanbao's current personality...

"Don't do such dangerous things in the future; if there is a next time, Daddy will absolutely not be this easy to talk to!"

Thinking of Li Laoyezi waiting at home, Li Beijue just wanted to resolve this matter quickly.

Upon hearing this, Mobai finally breathed a sigh of relief and, like a little adult, walked swaying in front of Li Beijue with his hands behind his back.

He then smiled and reminded him, "As long as Daddy isn't fierce to me, why would I climb trees for no reason?"

Li Beijue was suddenly choked for words.

So this little fellow meant that he was the one who forced him up the tree?

Then he heard the little fellow in front of him say, "Right, Daddy, don't forget what you promised me!"

"I know, I will have someone handle it tomorrow."

Li Beijue had no room to go back on his word and agreed readily.

A trace of a smile immediately appeared on Mobai's tense little face.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Daddy's good news!"

Li Beijue was simply amazed by the little fellow's ability to change his expression.

Waving his hand helplessly, he urged, "Go back and change your clothes, we're going to Great-Grandfather's house in a while."

"Okay." Having achieved his goal, Mobai was very easy to talk to and turned to leave, skipping along.

Li Beijue watched his retreating back, a dark glint sliding across his eyes.

Since there was no way to deal with Yanbao, he could only start from the other side.

That scheming woman Jiang Baobao should not even think about getting close to Yanbao again and ruining the relationship between him and his son!

She wants to invest, is that it?

Of course she can.

But as long as she takes the money, she must get as far away as possible!
