Chapter 40: Daddy Is Still in the Probationary Period

"What?"

Hearing this, several people were suddenly stunned.

Li Xinghua and Li Beichen exchanged a look without changing their expressions.

That woman, Jiang Baobao, has returned?

The old man likes her so much!

Li Beijue, on the other hand, was speechless.

He thought Yanbao had already forgotten about this matter, so why bring it up at this very moment!

Thinking this, Li Beijue felt Li Laoyezi's gaze upon him and had no choice but to nod in acknowledgment: "Yes, Jiang Baobao is back, it seems to be for work reasons."

Fearing that Li Laoyezi might misunderstand, he added an explanation.

Li Laoyezi looked at the little one in his arms, his heart suddenly stirred, and he hurriedly asked: "Yanbao, have you already seen Mommy?"

"I have!" Mobai nodded immediately. Seeing that Li Laoyezi seemed somewhat excited when mentioning Jiang Baobao, he hurriedly praised her: "Mommy is especially good! Especially gentle! She is the most beautiful Mommy I have ever seen!"

Hearing this, Li Laoyezi felt a sudden warmth in his heart.

This little one, Yanbao, had been clamoring for a mommy since he was small...

As he grew older, he stopped mentioning it, and he became quiet, not like a five-year-old child.

Was it because Jiang Baobao returned that his personality changed so much?

Thinking of the past, Li Laoyezi couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.

"Beijue, since that girl Baobao is back, it means you two still have a connection! Yanbao has always missed his mommy; when will you invite her over to the house for a visit? Or... consider remarrying? After all, back then..."

"Grandfather." Li Beijue interrupted Li Laoyezi directly, his eyes cold: "She is not worthy of being Yanbao's mommy."

The hand with which Li Laoyezi was holding Mobai stiffened.

Mobai's little face also showed some confusion.

Why would Daddy say that about Mommy?

Yanbao clearly likes being with Mommy very much!

He is the one who isn't qualified to be his daddy!

"Great-grandfather, Mommy is really good! I like Mommy super much!"

Mobai said it loudly on purpose, just wanting to anger Li Beijue.

He even regretted helping him speak just now.

Hmph! Bad Daddy!

He only knows how to speak ill of Mommy!

Li Beijue stood up from the sofa abruptly.

"Grandfather, I have something to say to Yanbao."

Without further ado, he took Mobai from Li Laoyezi's arms.

In front of the old man, Mobai didn't want to make too much of a scene, so he obediently didn't move.

Li Beijue found a quiet place and began to negotiate with the little one in front of him.

"Yanbao, from now on, don't mention that woman in front of your grandfather again, otherwise, no matter how much you throw a tantrum, I will cancel that investment."

Why should he!

Little Mobai immediately wanted to retort unhappily.

But the words stopped at his lips and he swallowed them back.

"Oh, I know." He agreed readily.

Li Beijue was somewhat surprised, but ultimately said nothing more and brought him back to the living room.

Mobai followed behind him, deliberately making a big funny face.

Fine, he won't say it!

As long as Mommy's investment is resolved!

Daddy is still in his probationary period!

The two returned to the living room and found that Li Xinghua had left with Li Beichen at some point.

Thinking of what just happened, Li Laoyezi couldn't help but advise: "Beijue, those words your father said just now..."

"It doesn't matter." Li Beijue replied indifferently.

Li Laoyezi sighed and said nothing more.

Ever since Li Xinghua brought the woman he was keeping outside and his illegitimate child into the house ten years ago, Li Beijue had become this way.

The relationship between father and son had also become rigid.

Li Laoyezi had been furious, seeing Li Xinghua so bewitched by the woman outside that he obeyed her every word, and he was extremely disappointed in him.

That was why he had passed the position of Helmsman of the Li Family directly to his eldest grandson, Li Beijue.

Li Laoyezi felt a bit sentimental thinking of the past and waved his hand casually: "Forget it, let's talk about something else. That girl Baobao coming back this time..."

"Grandfather, I don't want to talk about this." Li Beijue interrupted Li Laoyezi firmly again.

He didn't want to hear the name of that woman, Jiang Baobao, ever again!

Li Laoyezi was helpless and had to change the subject: "Are you still looking for that girl from back then?"

"Yes." Li Beijue's expression flickered, and he nodded.

Hearing this, Li Laoyezi sighed helplessly and couldn't help but advise: "It's been so many years... Beijue, being too obsessed with one thing is not a good thing. It's time for you to give up and find someone suitable as soon as possible..."

"Grandfather, you know my personality." Li Beijue interrupted Li Laoyezi directly, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

Li Laoyezi indeed fell silent instantly, only shaking his head, feeling some regret in his heart.

Back then, fearing that it wasn't safe in the country, he had sent Beijue abroad immediately after the incident.

If not for this, he might have been able to meet that girl one more time...

If he had known earlier that this kid was so obsessed, he would have insisted on finding the person back then, no matter what!

But now, so many years have already passed...

Li Laoyezi did not bring up this matter again and took the opportunity to change the subject.

Mobai was listening from the side, and his heart was also somewhat puzzled.

Who is Great-Grandpa talking about?

Is Daddy looking for someone?

Forget it! Anyway, it has nothing to do with him!

The little guy did not think much more about it and cast the question to the back of his mind.

The three of them chatted for a while and finished lunch, then Li Beijue took Mobai and left.

Sitting in the car, the little guy was still thinking about investing in Jiang Baobao.

"Daddy, when are you going to invest in Mommy? You have to be quick! If the competition starts soon, it will be too late!"

Mobai spent his days immersed in programs and games, so he understood a thing or two about the ins and outs of this.

Li Beijue knew he was concerned about this matter and replied while driving: "I will have someone go talk about it tomorrow, can you rest easy now?"

"Mm-hmm!" Mobai's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.

Tomorrow is in time!

Now Mommy won't have to worry anymore!

Li Beijue glanced at the little guy's happy expression from the corner of his eye, and a dark glint could not help but flash in the depths of his eyes.

Tomorrow, he would make Jiang Baobao take the money and get lost!

The next afternoon.

Jiang Baobao received the call and simply doubted if she had heard wrong.

Standing in front of the cafe where the two had agreed to meet, she was still somewhat suspicious, wondering if she was dreaming.

Had Li Beijue suddenly changed his nature?

After being treated like that by her, he was actually still planning to invest?

Could it be that he was deliberately calling her over to toy with her?

But even if she didn't come, he might use various methods to show up at her door...

She absolutely could not let him see Mobai again!

Thinking this, Jiang Baobao gathered twelve points of caution and pushed the door open to walk in.

Upon entering, she discovered that the place had already been booked out.

"Tsk... what a show-off..."

She muttered a complaint under her breath and lifted her feet to walk toward the corner seat.

Li Beijue was already waiting there.

"President Li, so it really was you."

Jiang Baobao's tone was somewhat mocking as she sat down opposite Li Beijue.

Li Beijue couldn't be bothered with small talk and slapped the contract in front of him onto the table with a 'slap'.

"Look at the contract terms, if there are any issues, say so directly."

He was concise and to the point, as if saying one more word would be a waste of time.

Jiang Baobao raised her eyebrows, her expression full of surprise.

So straightforward?

Could this guy be possessed?

She thought to herself, casually opening the contract and examining it carefully.

She had originally thought there would be some traps inside, but after reading it through completely twice, she did not find anything inappropriate.

Even the investment amount was what had been agreed upon before—three billion.

This was treatment that no other Team had.

Jiang Baobao looked at the contract, but instead of being overjoyed, she hesitated for two seconds.

How could Li Beijue be so easy to talk to?

This contract... must have a problem!

He was not some kind-hearted person with a benevolent face, and he certainly wouldn't do charity!

Jiang Baobao carefully examined the instructions on every page, wanting to spot some issues within them.

Li Beijue, however, was becoming impatient.

He tapped his index finger lightly on the tabletop, a calculating look flashing in his eyes: "Are you done looking? There is no problem with the contract, but if you want to sign it, I also have conditions. You must agree to them to take this money away; otherwise, don't even think about getting a single cent!"
