Chapter 669

What is a sudden change in painting style? This is it.

Ever since grandmother entered the house, Li Ye had been restless, because Wu Juying and Fu Guiru clearly had signs of confrontation. He didn't know when a spark would ignite, which could cause a fierce quarrel.

Guerrilla fighters and militia captains quarreling, how do you want Li Ye to persuade them?

And Watching Wen Leyu is pregnant! Li Ye really hopes to have a harmonious family environment.

But now looking at Wu Juying's appearance... did she think of the same thing as Li Ye?

Fu Guiru looked at Wu Juying who had raised her wine glass, her heart was mixed.

For so many years, has she, Fu Guiru, suffered? Where did the bitterness come from?

Now Wu Juying toasts a glass of wine, is she playing tricks? Or is it a smile to wipe out grievances?

Fu Guiru smiled lightly and said amusingly: "This glass of wine of yours, won't it be toasted on behalf of someone else?

I'll say the ugly words first, the grievances between her Tong Mingyue and me cannot be resolved by a glass of wine."

Wu Juying shook her head slowly: "This glass of wine has nothing to do with Tong Mingyue, and I... have nothing to do with Tong Mingyue in the future."

"..."

Li Ye, Li Yue, and Watching Wen Leyu all looked at Wu Juying in surprise.

A few months ago, Wu Juying changed Li Mingyue's name to Tong Mingyue, but she didn't say she broke off the relationship, and she attended Cui Aiguo's wedding with other old comrades-in-arms.

So what does grandmother's sentence mean now? Directly swept Tong Mingyue out of the door?

That would be too much to everyone's liking. Whether it's Li Ye, Li Yue, or Watching Wen Leyu, they all agree with both hands.

Fu Guiru also looked at Wu Juying unexpectedly, and after a long silence, she said: "Although this sounds untrue, I'll drink this glass of wine."

Fu Guiru drank the wine, and Wu Juying also drank the wine.

Then Wu Juying said: "I came to the capital this time, one is to take care of my grandson and daughter-in-law, and the second is to avoid leisure."

"Avoid leisure? Avoid Tong Mingyue?"

Fu Guiru raised her eyelids and smiled lightly: "Grandma, you know how to avoid it now? But once this dog-skin plaster is stuck, where is it so easy to avoid? I say it's no one's fault, just blame you for spoiling her bad habits for so many years."

Hearing Fu Guiru call her "Grandma," Wu Juying finally sighed and showed a helpless expression.

"..."

Li Ye saw Wu Juying's appearance and winked at elder sister Li Yue and Watching Wen Leyu, intending to leave.

Adults' gossip, children shouldn't listen too much.

But Wu Juying said: "Sit down! Some things you only know a little bit, and you don't know the situation. Today, I'll just tell you, so you don't think about it yourself."

Li Yue and Watching Wen Leyu sat down immediately, fully expressing the gossiping nature of women.

Wu Juying thought for a while and said from the beginning: "Tong Mingyue's father and mother were both active members during the Anti-Japanese War. Later, in order to cover the guerrillas, they were caught by the enemy... When they died, Tong Mingyue was not even two years old."

"At that time, there were pairs in the guerrillas, just me and your grandfather, so everyone collectively decided that I and your grandfather would raise this child."

"Although she is not biological to me and your grandfather, we have never treated her badly since she was a child. Even after having your father, we tried our best to let her..."

"Originally, Tong Mingyue's personality was also very good, and she was very protective of your father, this younger brother, until she was nineteen."

"That year, the army came to recruit female soldiers here, Tong Mingyue wanted to go very much, but your father was also crying and shouting to go..."

"Finally, we discussed with Tong Mingyue, why not let the younger brother go to the army first, and let her go next year. Finally, she agreed."

"Yesterday, your stepmother fainted at work. I was at my wit's end and took her to the hospital to get an IV. The doctor said she needed tests, but she refused, saying she was afraid it would affect me, and affect you..."

Li Kaijian said with red eyes, "I took her to the factory clinic for the IV, then came to find you overnight. Just ask your mother... give me a straight answer! Don't torture her anymore. She's 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 matters!"

Li Ye was furious. He kicked the chair, and the solid wood chair spun around twice before toppling over onto the floor.

Li Kaijian pressed his lips together tightly and said guiltily, "It's my fault for failing your mother. It's all my fault, all my fault!"

"You..."

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

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

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

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

Whose fault is this, really?

Is it Li Kaijian's fault?

Is it Han Chunmei's fault?

What fault is there?

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

"Dad, how are Li Ying's studies going lately?"

"Huh?"

Li Kaijian was stunned for a moment, then replied subconsciously, "Ever since she started high school, her grades have been getting better and better."

"High school is now a three-year program. Her teacher says she has another year and a half, and if she can keep this up, she has a very good chance of getting into university."

"Sigh~"

Li Ye let out a breath and said, "University is getting harder and harder to get into. Getting into Beijing University 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. "Yes, let Li Ying go to school in Hong Kong, and let her accompany her mother there. I'll have someone 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 there. When it's time for Li Ying to apply for university, they can 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 clear this with Xiao Yu 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 put on your tab. You'll owe it for now, and you'll pay it back later."

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

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

How strict is the two-child policy these days? If the mainland finds out about an unplanned birth, let alone Li Kaijian's position as deputy factory director, even Li Ye might be implicated. Isn't that why Han Chunmei said 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 Kaijian was a man of his word after all. He gritted his teeth and agreed to Li Ye's request. Even brothers settle accounts clearly; after all, the child Han Chunmei is carrying is Li Ye's younger brother!

"Sigh,"

Li Ye sighed. "I planned it with Xiao Yu a few days ago. Your fertilizer factory can only produce ammonium bicarbonate right now, which has no future prospects."

"So Xiao Yu had someone research it, and we decided to invest in a urea production line for you in the name of the Zhongxin Company. You're responsible for the work, and we'll list the profits separately for you..."

"No, no, no. Just give me a high salary, like the standard they have for your grandfather. That's fine. I can't let people laugh at me."

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

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

Li Ye said helplessly, "This money is for the three of them. Li Juan and Li Ying call you Dad, so it's only right for them to spend your money. Not to mention if you have another younger brother or sister later."

"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 lead to family conflict?"

"..."
