Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract
Chapter 72 Chess Pieces
"Dad, I know, I will be more careful in the future." How could Li Guowei dare to disobey his father? Everything he has now comes from his father, and if he were to disobey even slightly, his father would probably no longer take him seriously.
The reason is that he has a younger brother studying abroad. If he succeeds in his studies, his father will probably not focus all his attention on him.
He knew exactly what kind of person his younger brother was; apart from being the eldest son, he had no advantages whatsoever.
Li Dahai said, "You'd better remember what you said today. Now that you're married, you should prioritize your career and stop indulging in romantic escapades."
"Yes Yes."
Li Guowei quickly replied that he always felt a sense of crisis. Others might think he was indifferent, but he himself had a yardstick to measure himself.
Xu Jingjing was at home, sitting face to face with Huang Ju.
Huang Ju was very good at dressing herself up, and she looked like a noblewoman. Her clothes were also quite nice, and her words were much more assertive than those of the average noblewoman.
She stared at Xu Jingjing for a long time, then began to scold her daughter-in-law.
Xu Jingjing had just married into the family, so she dared not disobey her. She would just give her any advice and wait for Da Guowei to come back so she could talk to him about it properly.
“Jingjing, as the saying goes, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. If something happens to your father or me after you marry Guowei, then the responsibility for your younger brother Guoguang will fall on your shoulders.” Guoguang is five years younger than Guowei and has just gone abroad for further studies. Huang Ju dotes on her youngest son, but in order to make a name for himself, the only way is to go abroad for further studies.
"Mom, since we're family, we'll definitely support each other in the future." Xu Jingjing agreed outwardly, but inwardly she was cursing: You old hag, what does your own son have to do with me!
"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that. Actually, even though we live in this villa, we're just living the life of an ordinary family. Don't keep daydreaming like that."
"Mom, what are you saying? I'm not thinking anything. Guowei and I are always of one mind. I'll listen to whatever Guowei says. You are my parents too, and I will be filial to you and listen to you." It was with this virtuous appearance that Xu Jingjing gained the trust of the Li family elders.
"Then you'd better hurry up and get pregnant. If you don't get pregnant, you have no chance of winning. You think Shen Menghan is so favored? You and Guowei still have to watch your temper. I'm worried for you two." Huang Ju said, staring intently at Xu Jingjing.
When Shen Menghan came to her house before, she took a liking to her at first sight. But when she found out that Shen Menghan had no family background, she immediately lost her temper. When it came to Xu Jingjing, she also investigated her. Although Xu Jingjing had no family background, she was audacious and daring, willing to do anything to achieve her goals.
It was her tenacity in pursuing her goals that convinced her son to marry her. Even though Li Dahai had initially opposed it, he gradually accepted Xu Jingjing after her persuasion.
Xu Jingjing is a pawn that can fly; if used properly, she can definitely bring wealth to the Li family.
Xu Jingjing blushed and whispered, "Mom, we're anxious about this too, we're trying to have a baby."
"Fine, give birth this year. If you can't have a child within three years, don't blame me for turning my back on you." Huang Ju's tone shifted, instantly putting immense pressure on Xu Jingjing.
"Mom, I will convey your message to Guowei," Xu Jingjing replied cleverly. Why would she be threatened by her?
“Jingjing, your relationship with Shen Menghan is so strained right now. It’s good that you’re trying to get her forgiveness, but you also need to take care of your health. Remember what I’m saying: if you can’t get through to Shen Menghan, then go after the old lady. She might just fall for you.”
"Okay, thanks for reminding me, Mom."
Xu Jingjing sneered inwardly: The old woman had already embarrassed her so many times, if she went to her again, she would only be asking for trouble. She might as well spend more time on Li Zhicheng. As long as she could get pregnant, she would be a winner no matter what!
Huang Ju nodded, "Xu Jingjing is teachable."
When Shen Menghan woke up, it was already afternoon. She habitually checked her clothes as soon as she opened her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that they were still the same.
Looking at the spacious bed, Li Zhicheng was holding his phone, staring at it intently, occasionally speaking in a low voice.
"Hey, are you going back? I want to go back." She called out to him.
"Xiaohan, wait for me for an hour, I'm taking care of something."
The Li family's success today is not due to luck, but to his father's and his hard work. His father was a business genius, and he surpassed his father. That's why he was so heartbroken after learning that secret.
I even think that I didn't inherit my genes from my father, but rather that it was all due to my own hard work!
"What are you doing?" Shen Menghan asked as she walked towards him. Was she dealing with the scandal?
Upon closer inspection, she saw that his phone was filled with densely packed files, so she quickly stepped aside; this was not something she should be seeing.
"Xiaohan, if you're thirsty, there's juice downstairs, and there should be bottled water in the refrigerator outside the living room." Li Zhicheng didn't even look up, still staring at the contents. He was extremely meticulous when he worked; if he found even a single word, it had to be corrected. There was no room for carelessness. And the employee who made a typo would have a thousand yuan deducted for each word!
Therefore, while so many people were desperate to get into the Li family, some couldn't endure the torment and had to leave.
Because the rewards, like the punishments, were something to look up to. Anyone who made outstanding contributions or was a model of diligence would receive half of their monthly salary as a reward.
"I'm not thirsty, I'll go for a walk. Call me when you're ready to leave."
"Take your phone with you, don't get lost."
Li Zhicheng was deep in thought about a problem and didn't have time to spend with her.
As Shen Menghan walked through the sea of flowers, she saw blue roses, black roses, and peonies, which are difficult to grow. In short, there were many varieties, but she only recognized a few. Most of them were imported from abroad and cultivated.
She crouched down and lifted up one of the large, bright red roses in full bloom. It was still quite short, but it had already formed a canopy, under which was a swing.
She tried sitting on it and started to swing slowly.
The wind that blew against her face and she smelled the sweet fragrance, and she gradually became lost in thought.
In a daze, she saw a man walking towards her. The man stood in the mist, his back to her.
"Xiaohan, I'm your dad."
"Dad?" she murmured, looking down to see how short she was; she was only three years old.
"Yes, child, Dad has finally found you! I've been looking for you and your mother for so long!"
The man's voice was filled with endless melancholy.
