Chapter 659: No Wonder Your Grandfather Asked Me to Find You

Li Ye used his key to open the door and entered the house. He found that the interior was kept very clean, clearly because his younger sister, Li Juan, often came over to tidy up.

"Sigh~"

Li Ye let out a soft sigh, set out the braised meat, took two wine glasses, and poured a glass of wine for Li Kaijian.

"Dad, you came to the capital this time, it's for... my younger brother or sister who hasn't been born yet, that's why you came to find me, right?"

"..."

Li Kaijian was stunned for a moment, then picked up the wine glass and slowly drank the wine down.

"So you knew all along?"

Li Ye nodded, his fingers turning the wine glass, and he said slowly: "Grandma called my older sister about this. What is your and Grandpa's opinion on this matter?"

Li Kaijian shook his head slowly: "Your grandma doesn't care, and your grandfather told me to find you."

"..."

Li Ye smiled faintly and asked: "Then why did you go to find my older sister first?"

Li Kaijian looked at Li Ye silently. After a long while, he said: "Don't ask so much. Just give me an answer: this younger brother or sister of yours... are you going to acknowledge them or not?"

"Acknowledge them or not?" Li Ye said strangely: "Dad, what do you mean by that?"

Li Kaijian's lips trembled, and he said in a shaking voice: "If you acknowledge them, then find a way for her to give birth. If you don't acknowledge them... she will have an abortion."

"Clatter—"

Li Ye's hand shook, the wine glass tipped over on the table, and the wine spilled all over the floor.

He looked at Li Kaijian in shock. After a full five seconds, he said indignantly: "Dad, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? Is this something I can decide? That's a human life!"

"I know that's a human life, too..."

Li Kaijian muttered a sentence, then covered his face with both hands, rubbing them up and down constantly, rubbing his face red and his hair messy.

Li Ye suddenly discovered that Li Kaijian's hair had turned much whiter than it was three months ago when he got married.

After Li Kaijian rubbed his face for a long time, he finally controlled his emotions and said calmly: "The week before last, your... your stepmother suddenly vomited. I was about to take her to the hospital when she finally told me the truth..."

"I felt dizzy at the time and just said 'Don't be ridiculous.' She seemed to be frightened by me, and in just two or three days, she completely collapsed..."

"Your grandfather said to let you make the call on this matter. I said that was nonsense, but your stepmother took it seriously. She insisted that the child's life or death was up to you. If you didn't want it, she would go and have an abortion..."

"Isn't that nonsense? It's simply absurd."

Li Ye questioned Li Kaijian in disbelief: "Dad! You took words like that seriously? How could you let her take them seriously?"

Li Kaijian shook his head with tears in his eyes: "Don't you understand yet? This family... you're the one who calls the shots now!"

"..."

"Nonsense!"

Li Ye stood up directly in a rage and paced around the living room.

He had always thought his impression among his family members was excellent, but look at this now—what kind of person do they take me for?

Am I the Ottoman Emperor from the Middle East? Killing off all my brothers and sisters and strangling all competitors in the cradle?

Li Ye suddenly remembered something, turned his head, and questioned Li Kaijian: "You didn't dare call me, and you squatted at the entrance of my workplace for half a day without daring to go in to find me, just because you were afraid I wouldn't agree, right?"

"I didn't know if you would agree."

"Yesterday, your stepmother fainted at work. I was at a loss, so I took her to the hospital for an IV drip. The doctor said they needed to run tests on her, but she refused to let them, saying she was afraid it would affect me, and also affect you..."

Li Kaijian said with red eyes: "I took her to the factory infirmary for an IV drip, then came to find you overnight. You ask your mother... just give a straight answer! Don't torture her anymore. She has lived in fear all these years; her life has been bitter!"

"What does this have to do with my mother? Aren't you a man? This is your business; no one else's opinion counts!"

Li Ye was furious. He kicked the chair, and the solid wood chair spun around twice before toppling to the ground.

Li Kaijian pursed his lips tightly and said guiltily: "It's me who let your mother down. It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"

"You..."

Li Ye looked at the decadent Li Kaijian and suddenly understood his feelings.

Back then, because of his older aunt, Tong Li Mingyue, his mother, Fu Hearing Fu Guiru, went missing. Li Kaijian lived in guilt as a single man for over a decade, raising Li Xia Yue and Li Ye.

Later, when he had finally almost forgotten, he married Han Han Chunmei, only for Fu Hearing Fu Guiru to return.

Li Kaijian had finally managed to talk to Fu Hearing Fu Guiru and was content with the status quo for the sake of the children, only for Han Han Chunmei to get pregnant again.

Who would you say is at fault here?

Is it Li Kaijian's fault?

Is it Han Han Chunmei's fault?

What fault is there?

Li Ye paced around the living room twice, picked up the toppled chair, and sat back down.

"Dad, how are Li Ying's studies recently?"

"Huh?"

Li Kaijian was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously: "Ever since she started high school, her studies have been getting better and better.

High school is now a three-year system. The teacher said there is still a year and a half left, and if she can keep it up like this, there's a very good chance she'll get into university."

"Sigh~"

Li Ye let out a breath and said: "It's getting harder and harder to get into university now. Getting into Jingda is even harder than climbing to heaven, so... let Li Ying go to middle school in Hong Kong!"

"What? Go to middle school in Hong Kong?"

Li Ye nodded and said: "Yes, let Li Ying go to school in Hong Kong, and let her go to Hong Kong to accompany her mother. I will get someone to help them handle the paperwork as soon as possible, aiming for them to leave next month.

I'll buy them a house in Hong Kong and get them Hong Kong residency as soon as possible. It's easier to get into university over there. When Li Ying is ready for university, we can have them bring the child back..."

"..."

As Li Ye spoke, Li Kaijian's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"This... you're spending so much money, you should probably communicate this with Wen Wen Leyu and your mother!"

"No, this money is being spent by you," Li Ye said, pointing at his father: "All the expenses for the three of them will be counted on you. You owe it for now, and you'll have to pay it back later."

Li Kaijian's mouth opened, as if he wanted to curse, but in the end, he didn't.

Why did Li Li Zhongfa ask Li Ye to make the call? Because only Li Ye could arrange things properly!

How strict is the enforcement of the two-child policy these days? If the mainland fines for over-quota births, let alone Li Kaijian's position as deputy factory manager, Li Ye might even be implicated. Otherwise, why would Han Han Chunmei say she didn't want to implicate Li Ye?

"I'll pay it back, I'll pay it back, but... it might take many years."

Li Kaian was a real man after all; he gritted his teeth and agreed to Li Ye's request. Even brothers must settle accounts clearly—after all, the child Han Han Chunmei was carrying was Li Ye's younger brother!

"Sigh,"

Li Ye sighed and said: "I planned it with Wen Wen Leyu a few days ago. That fertilizer factory of yours can only produce ammonium bicarbonate now and has no development prospects.

So Wen Wen Leyu found someone to research it and decided to invest in a urea production line for you in the name of the Zhongxin Company. You are responsible for the work, and we will list the profits generated separately for you..."

"No, no, no, just pay me a high salary, the same standard as your grandfather's is fine. I can't let people laugh at me."

When Li Kaijian heard he would be taking money from Wen Wen Leyu's hands, he immediately refused. He couldn't afford to lose that face.

"Dad! Do you think this money is for you?"

Li Ye said helplessly: "This money is for them. Li Juan and Li Ying call you Dad, so spending your money is justified. Not to mention if you have another younger brother or sister later on."

"But if I let them spend my money, do you think they'll feel at ease? Won't outsiders gossip? If there's too much gossip, won't it easily lead to family conflicts?"

"..."

Li Kaijian was stunned for a long time, then suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"No wonder your grandfather asked me to find you. You little brat really are full of devious ideas."

"..."

【Sigh, I just got everything arranged for you, and you're already perking up, right? I... forget it, I won't argue with you.】 ===== CHAPTER 660 =====
