Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

So last night, when everything was quiet, Li Zhihua thought of a possibility that was close to the truth.

That's Niannian's background!

She suspects that Niannian may not be Li Dong and Song Ci's daughter, but is more likely Song Ci's daughter with her ex-husband or ex-boyfriend.

It's even possible that this child's background is not honorable and that he is simply unable to show his face to anyone!

As for why Song Ci and Li Dong got together?

It could very well have originated from a transaction, or perhaps it was an unexpected coincidence.

It was because of this incident that Li Dong decided to take the blame for Song Ci, and Song Ci, in order to repay him, ended up with Li Dong.

Or perhaps their on-screen romance turned into a real-life relationship.

Only this truth can truly convince Li Zhihua.

Otherwise, how could Song Ci, a virgin, possibly choose Li Dong and a family with such a prestigious background as the Li family?

No matter how outstanding her nephew was, she couldn't believe that a girl like Song Ci would give up everything for Li Dong and give her all!

Only if Song Ci had these concerns, or these things that couldn't be revealed, could she accept Li Dong and bring the two of them together.

To put it bluntly, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Why would someone with Song Ci's family background fall into Li Dong's mouth for no reason?

If that's true, then there must be something fishy going on behind the scenes!

Although Li Zhihua also acknowledged that Li Dong was outstanding, Song Ci's family background had already exceeded the scope of an ordinary woman.

Purely free love?

Li Zhihua didn't think his nephew had that opportunity.

Unless Song Ci is the kind of person who is obsessed with love and would disregard everything for love.

However, judging from what we have observed so far, Song Ci is not the kind of woman who is brainless.

Honestly, this answer kept Li Zhihua up all night.

Having worked abroad for many years, she has witnessed the cutthroat world of business and is by no means a docile lamb.

Although this speculation is somewhat absurd, it is not unacceptable in Li Zhihua's view.

However, there is a prerequisite: this matter cannot involve the Li family.

To her, Li Dong was like her own son.

Li Zhihua was absolutely unwilling to let Li Dong suffer any injustice, nor did he want Li Dong to live his whole life with a bad reputation.

Especially during this trip back to China, Li Zhihua even wanted to give Li Dong the very best of everything.

She didn't have the ability or skill before, but now she does. She could have let Li Dong choose the best option, so why settle for second best?

However, these are all just speculations, and there is no evidence to support them yet.

Therefore, Li Zhihua couldn't say anything.

However, based on her years of experience and insight in the business world, Li Zhihua had a premonition that her guess was very close to the truth.

Now Li Zhihua is somewhat hesitant. If the answer is really like this, how should she face this marriage?

This was the answer Li Zhihua couldn't come up with even after thinking about it all night.

If it were in the past, she would definitely have cut off the relationship without hesitation and wouldn't have let the two of them continue!

Because she was certain that if this relationship continued, it would inevitably end badly.

Even if there is a result, it will definitely leave both of them battered and bruised!

But now, the relationship between Li Dong and Song Ci is there, and the Li family's affection for Nian Nian is also there.

If Song Ci were truly the kind of rich young lady who always bossed Li Dong around and never considered her husband's feelings, then she would absolutely not tolerate this marriage!

But now, Song Ci is exceptionally outstanding, and she is also doing her job as the daughter-in-law of the Li family very well.

In front of an ordinary family like the Li family, Song Ci showed no trace of the imperious airs of a rich young lady.

On the contrary, she can put aside her pride, be filial to her parents-in-law, be considerate to her husband, and even care about her husband's family.

How could Li Zhihua not feel sorry for such a woman, and how could he bear to turn her away?

Then there's Niannian. Niannian's well-behaved and adorable nature makes Li Zhihua unwilling to accept the truth he's guessed!

With such complicated thoughts, Li Zhihua was unusually stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do!

It wasn't until Li's mother called out twice that she reacted, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

Li's mother smiled wryly, "Xiao Ci is talking to you, why aren't you responding? Were you too tired last night?"

"I'll stay at the hospital all day, you should go back and get some sleep!"

Li Zhihua shook his head, looked at Song Ci and asked, "It's nothing, I was just a little distracted. What did you say just now, Ci?"

Song Ci repeated, "Aunt, thank you for your hard work yesterday."

"I've already arranged with Li Dong that I'll be keeping watch at the hospital tonight."

"You and Mom can go back, I can manage on my own."

When facing Li Zhihua, Song Ci was actually a little uneasy.

Since the other party had already guessed the relationship between her and Li Ying, Li Dong also admitted it.

Therefore, Li Dong's aunt was also the first relative in the entire Li family to know about her background.

Although she still didn't know what else Li Zhihua had guessed besides Li Ying's identity.

But for some reason, when Song Ci stood in front of Li Zhihua today, she felt as if she had no secrets.

Especially Li Zhihua's gaze, which seemed to have completely pierced through her.

Adding to Li Zhihua's momentary daze, Song Ci suddenly became nervous!

Li Zhihua grasped Song Ci's hand in his palm. "Isn't your workplace busy? You have to work during the day and stay up late at night. Can your body handle it?"

Song Ci shook her head. "It's okay. I'm not busy during the day these days. The work at the company is all pretty easy."

"It's all my fault for not handling things at home properly, which led to Dad being hospitalized. It's only right that I do my best to help out."

Li's mother immediately interjected, "What does this have to do with you?"

"Xiao Ci, please don't take it to heart."

"Have some faith in Xiaodong. When your mother returns to China, let Xiaodong personally explain to her."

When Li's mother was speaking, Song Ci paused while tidying up the fruit peels, and her fingertips turned white.

Li Zhihua felt sorry for the girl and quickly changed the subject, "There's no need to rush about keeping watch. We can talk about it when Xiao Dong comes over tonight."

"He just reported to his new workplace today, and there must be a lot of things to do there."

"If he knew you were keeping watch for him, he would be worried and wouldn't have the energy to work during the day."

"By the way, Xiao Ci, are you going to work?"

"If it's on your way later, could you give me a ride with you?"

Song Ci was also waiting for this opportunity to escape. She first tidied up the hospital, then went to the doctors and nurses to give them instructions, and then went downstairs with Li Zhihua.

The elevator was crowded, and the two didn't exchange many words.

Once they were in the car, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and Song Ci's expression changed slightly. "Aunt...you know everything?"
