Chapter 690: Why are my teammates all so stupid!

"We just arrived in Hong Kong. Let me make some arrangements. If I can't make it over today, how about tomorrow?"

"Mm-hmm, everything is up to you, Brother."

"."

Li Ye had a brief discussion with Fu Yiruo and then hung up the phone.

Then, Li Ye frowned and looked at Li Kaijian.

【Scumbag!】

【Why do I have to be the one to resolve the karma created by a scumbag?】

Han Chunmei was currently pregnant with Li Kaijian's child, and after wishing upon the stars and the moon, she had finally waited for her husband to come over for a reunion.

Look at her busy in the kitchen right now, about to set the table for dinner. If Li Ye were to take Li Kaijian away now, how could he even bring it up?

But his own biological sister, Fu Yiruo, had never seen her father since birth. After more than a decade, they had finally met, but due to various reasons, there was still a barrier between them.

Now that she hoped to "have a reunion dinner with Daddy," how could he refuse?

Although Fu Yiruo had been joking with Li Ye earlier, Li Ye was certain that his sister was feeling both anxious and expectant at this moment.

Her father had come to Hong Kong! She would no longer have to be subject to the various constraints of the mainland and could be a proper, reunited family.

But looking at Li Kaijian... Li Ye felt helpless again.

Was Li Kaijian a scumbag who had one foot in two boats?

Not exactly. He was just swept into the sea by waves during a storm and assumed his boat had sunk.

After struggling and finally climbing onto another boat, he looked back to find that his old boat hadn't sunk at all; it had even braved the wind and waves to catch up, and the helmsman was his own biological daughter, Fu Yiruo.

How do you think Li Kaijian felt? Should he throw away this one to find that one?

A person cannot be without a conscience.

"Xiao Ye, who was that on the phone?"

Just as Li Ye was struggling to find the words, Li Kaijian noticed Li Ye's slightly furrowed brows and asked with concern.

Li Ye said offhandedly, "It's about that fertilizer equipment at your factory. They invited us over for a meal to talk it over. I told them if we can't make it today, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Oh~"

Li Kaijian glanced at Li Ye and nodded thoughtfully.

He wasn't a fool; he had guessed a little something.

Han Chunmei happened to come out of the kitchen carrying a large bowl of soup: "Are you going to talk about work? Then hurry up and go! What could be more important than work?"

Li Kaijian quickly said, "No need, no need. Li Ye already told them we'd go tomorrow if we couldn't make it. We're about to eat..."

"That won't do! The factory sent you here to work. Can a family meal compare to work? Hurry up and change your clothes; you need to wear a suit."

Han Chunmei didn't say another word and went to get Li Kaijian's clothes. In her heart, her husband's work was more important than anything else—after all, she was still spending Li Ye's money!

Even if she was currently carrying Li Kaijian's son, she should be spending Li Kaijian's money; how could she spend her eldest son's money?

This money would have to be paid back eventually.

If Li Kaijian couldn't do his job well and couldn't become a unit leader, would he be able to pay it back?

For an ordinary worker, one could never earn enough for a Mercedes S-Class in a lifetime!

"No, Chunmei, let's eat first and then go..."

"You can eat when you get back; I'll keep it warm on the stove. You don't know how petty people in Hong Kong are. If you don't give them face, forget about doing business—they'll hold a grudge against you!"

"."

Li Kaijian was maneuvered by Han Chunmei into changing into a suit, and he prepared to leave, feeling guilty.

At this moment, his little sister Li Ying came over and said pitifully, "Daddy, are you coming back tonight?"

"."

Li Kaijian froze for a few seconds and couldn't help but shiver: "Yes, definitely coming back, no matter how late."

"Oh, oh~"

Li Ying nodded her little head while following them downstairs: "Then I'll tell Uncle Dong to drive you over. He speaks Mandarin, so if anything happens on the way, Daddy, you can let him handle it."

Uncle Dong was the driver and bodyguard Li Ye had arranged for Han Chunmei and Li Ying. He was from the mainland, had a family to support, and was both alert and reliable.

However, Li Ye said, "No need, let's take Mr. Pei's car."

"Oh~"

Li Ying retreated helplessly, watching the backs of Li Kaijian and Li Ye, and let out a faint sigh.

Then, Li Ying went home and saw her sister Li Juan excitedly fiddling with the "brick phone" in her hand, as if pondering who to call.

Her mother, Han Chunmei, had prepared a table full of dishes, and was currently putting the ones that weren't finished and could be stored into the refrigerator, focused only on being frugal and managing the household.

Li Ying felt a wave of grievance for no reason: "How did I end up with such a stupid mother and sister!"

Although she had only met Fu Yiruo a few times, Fu Yiruo's shrewd demeanor made her look like a top-tier opponent, and Fu Yiruo's mother was a Nanyang tycoon—needless to say, her level of skill was even higher.

But looking at the helpers around her... she feared she wouldn't be able to hold the fort alone!

After Li Kaijian went downstairs and got into the car, because Pei Wencong was also sitting there, he had to keep his words to himself and couldn't ask Li Ye whether they were going to talk about fertilizer equipment or to see Hearing Fu Guiru.

Pei Wencong's car drove onto the small road leading to the mountaintop, driving all the way to the outside of Residence No. 17.

"Mr. Li, I won't go in, right?"

"Alright, you go back! I'll go visit your grandmother another day."

"Alright, alright, my mother has also been talking about Mr. Li."

Pei Wencong dropped Li Ye and Li Kaijian at the gate and hurriedly drove away. He didn't want to get involved in such family entanglements; perhaps one wrong word could offend two big bosses at the same time.

Pei Wencong left, the gate opened, and Li Ye led Li Kaijian inside.

Li Kaijian finally couldn't hold it in and asked, "Xiao Ye, whose house is this?"

Li Ye answered offhandedly, "Of course it's my house!"

Li Kaijian, who had been thinking about her constantly, felt a sudden sense of loss. Ever since he had risked a sprained ankle to catch up with Hearing Fu Guiru, he hadn't seen her again, and he didn't know if she was doing well raising the child on her own.

But Li Ye then said, "After I bought this house, I couldn't come here many times a year. People say that a house without people living in it loses its vitality, so my mother and sister often come here to stay."

"."

Kid, are you doing a crosstalk act with me here? Don't you know my heart is in a mess right now?

Li Kaijian's hand subconsciously reached for his belt. Although he knew he couldn't hit a child who was all grown up, the urge to unbuckle his belt was uncontrollable.

But the next moment, Li Kaijian saw Fu Yiruo coming toward them, and his hand, with bulging veins, had nowhere to rest.

"Daddy, Brother, you finally came. Hurry, hurry, we're just waiting for you to eat!"

"Ah, oh, oh, oh... alright, alright, alright..."

The seven-foot-tall Li Kaijian was pulled into the villa's residence and entered the dining room like a puppet, with Fu Yiruo holding his arm, feeling completely at a loss.

On the dining table, there were simply four dishes and one soup, which was much more "shabby" than Han Chunmei's side, but Li Kaijian felt incomparably warm.

How many years had it been since he had eaten a meal cooked by Hearing Fu Guiru?

Hearing Fu Guiru walked over from the other side, sat down at the dining table with a cold expression, and the words she spoke were also cold and devoid of warmth.

"Sit down! Today is for the sake of our daughter; otherwise, there wouldn't be a meal for you on this table."

"~"

Li Kaijian sat down immediately. As long as there was a meal for him, and as long as his biological daughter acknowledged him, that was enough.

Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life. ===== CHAPTER 691 =====
