Dressed as a real daughter, held in the palm of the hand by the boss

When the Wu family’s housekeeper saw them coming back, he hurried forward and said, “Master Wu is waiting for you in the study.”

After this incident, Mr. Wu could no longer sit in the front and continue the birthday banquet, but returned to the study early.

He sat in the study in silence, not speaking for a long time.

Until the butler's voice broke the silence in the calligraphy.

"Master, those people have all returned... Master, what do you think?"

"Let He Yi and her daughter come in." There was obvious fatigue in Mr. Wu's voice.

"Yes."

Soon, He Yi and Li Manman were invited in.

He Yi's cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes were shining, full of anticipation. Li Manman stood behind her and did not look at Mr. Wu, so it was impossible to judge her emotions for a moment.

Old Master Wu sat there and saw everything clearly.

He didn't react to He Yi's emotions.

He had seen this too many times, and had seen it countless times on younger generations, so he was not surprised by this one.

Mr. Wu looked at the man carefully.

I was a bit far away from her at the banquet before, so I couldn't see her clearly. Now I can clearly see her clothes and complexion. They are not much different. I guess she has lived a good life these years.

If that was the case, why did she have to come to him and make things difficult for him?

Mr. Wu couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable, and his words were somewhat sarcastic.

"What do you mean? It's a nice name. It seems your adoptive parents love you very much."

He Yi was a little confused. She didn't understand why the other party suddenly said that.

She could only carefully choose her words: "Mr. Wu, what do you mean?"

Mr. Wu ignored her and spoke to himself: "I didn't want to say it so clearly. Since you insist on finding me, then I will tell you directly."

"I never wanted to take you back to the Wu family."

Without pausing for a single word, Mr. Wu spoke this sentence very smoothly.

It was as if this matter was natural and normal to him.

He Yi stood there in a daze.

Her lips trembled, and she wanted to say something, but after a long time, she could only utter three dry words.

"why?"

Why do you do this to her?

Should I give up on her completely?

He Yi couldn't describe what he felt in his heart, he just felt his heart aching and as if it was about to break.

Old Master Wu looked at her arrogantly and with pity.

"Because it's too late."

"If you were six, I would take you back in a heartbeat."

"If you were sixteen, I would hire the best teacher to teach you."

"If you were twenty-six, I would give you a chance to participate in the Wu family's internal industry."

"But you're thirty-six."

He Yi has already gone through most of his life. He is no longer the ignorant and naive six years old, nor the youthful sixteen years old, nor the young and strong twenty-six years old.

The age of thirty-six became a hurdle that she could no longer cross and enter the Wu family.

She has no value anymore.

He Yi's face turned pale in an instant.

Because she’s… thirty-six?

This reason seems absurd and ridiculous.

He Yi was unable to utter a word for a moment.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mr. Wu glanced at Li Manman beside him, and his expression softened a lot at this time.

"Your name is Li Manman? You performed well tonight, but you have lived in the countryside since childhood, so you don't have much experience. I will arrange for you to study in school, and when the right opportunity comes, you will return to the Wu family as a cousin. As for the name Li Manman, just change it. Manman is too vulgar."

He didn't ask for Li Manman's opinion, but just made his own arrangements.

In his heart, no one will reject him, and no one will refute him.

Li Manman said in a cold voice: "Cousin status? So, you don't plan to recognize my mother as a relative of the Wu family? As for Wu Shuxiang, do you still recognize her status?"

Her tone was so sharp, and it hinted at a questioning tone.

Mr. Wu was dissatisfied.

What's her tone?

However, thinking of the other party's abilities, Mr. Wu was still willing to explain a few more words to him.

"She has long been one with the Wu family. If her identity is revealed, it would be a disgrace to the Wu family, which would hurt others and not benefit ourselves. Her child is very smart and can bring more benefits to the Wu family..."

Li Manman said sarcastically: "So you only care about profit and not family affection, right? Even if you have raised a child for thirty-six years, the first thing you can think of is that she still has value."

How ironic is this?

Even when Mr. Wu said that he couldn't let go of Wu Shuxiang, Li Manman could understand.

But now it seems that the Wu family is a place without any personal feelings, and all personal feelings must give way to family interests.

Mr. Wu was very dissatisfied.

"What do you know, little kid? You were raised in the countryside and became a jerk. When you are in this position, you will understand my choice and what I am carrying."

Li Manman sneered: "Really? What about the four major families? Are they all like you, not caring about family affection? After all, the reputation of the four major families is much more famous than that of the Wu family."

Old Master Wu's face turned blue and red.

He wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only say: "Ridiculous, if you want to enter the Wu family, this is your only choice."

Mr. Wu was proud of his status and felt that Li Manman would not refuse him.

Unexpectedly, Li Manman just gave him a deep look, then turned around and said, "Forget it. I can't afford such a family."

She took He Yi's hand, walked forward a few steps, and stopped.

She didn't look back and said, "I have made my choice today. I will have nothing to do with the Wu family anymore. I hope that in the future, Mr. Wu will not tell others that I am a member of the Wu family."

Mr. Wu stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, and he said sternly, "Have you thought it through? If you leave the Wu family, it will be difficult for you to come back in the future."

Li Manman answered without hesitation: "I've made up my mind. I won't go back to the Wu family."

She pulled He Yi away, and when they reached the study door, He Yi suddenly broke free from her hand.

Li Manman was stunned for a moment, she turned her head and saw He Yi walking inside.

He Yi knelt on the ground and begged Mr. Wu: "Mr. Wu, what Manman said was just a spur of the moment. I can leave. I will never come to the Wu family again. Mr. Wu, please keep Manman. She is still young and confused at this time, but her future and career cannot be delayed here."

This is what Li Manman heard when she came in.

She couldn't control herself anymore, so she walked over and tried to pull He Yi up.
