Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

"Dad, I'm just busy doing nothing. I have no decision-making ability, no leadership, what's the use?"

Li Guowei wanted to rise to the top in one step, and started complaining incessantly. He was just a nominal manager, and he had to listen to the general manager above him in everything. The general manager had been suppressing him and not giving him a chance to stand out.

“You have no ability, that’s fine. Do you think you can be parachuted in as president? If you performed well, Dad would have a lot more leverage with your uncle. You haven’t contributed anything. How am I supposed to ask him for a promotion or a raise? Can’t you use your brain? Stop being so obsessed with lust. You can’t do anything productive except for women!” Li Dahai’s words were quite harsh.

"Dad, I... I just got married. Can't I enjoy some time alone with my husband? I haven't even had a honeymoon yet. What's wrong with us just having lunch together? If you're jealous of how loving Jingjing and I are, you can have Mom bring you food every day, and I won't mind!"

Li Guowei seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, choking back without any explanation.

Xu Jingjing was dragged into this, and she immediately felt extremely embarrassed. She only wanted to show her face at the Li family's place, but she never expected her father-in-law to be so unhappy, which led to a verbal battle between the father and son. She felt extremely guilty. However, Li Guowei's words also touched her heart. Because of Li Guowei's work, the two of them did not even go on their honeymoon.

Little did she know that the real reason was that Li Guowei was short of money. He was thinking that going on a honeymoon would cost a lot of money, and that he and Xu Jingjing had traveled a lot during their previous holidays, so this wouldn't make a difference.

But his explanation to Xu Jingjing was that he was too busy with work and couldn't get away, and his superiors hadn't approved his leave. Xu Jingjing even got angry and scolded him at the time, and he finally managed to appease her.

Provoked by Li Dahai's words today, he simply shifted all the blame onto the company.

"Is work more important or your honeymoon? Do you want to make money or eat, drink, and have fun? Can't you be serious for once and have some self-respect?!" Li Dahai yelled even louder. This son of his was hopeless.

Li Dahai could never beat his uncle in his entire life, and he couldn't beat Li Guowei's uncle either. Was his family destined to be trampled on by them and destined to never rise above others?

He was unwilling to give up. If Li Guowei was still incompetent, he could only place his hopes on his youngest son, hoping that his son could help him after his return and take over the Li family business. This had been his dream for many years. He would not rest in peace until he got his hands on the Li family business.

“I’m married now. If I can’t take care of my own little family, why should I take care of everyone else? In short, I’m tired of being controlled by you. If you keep scolding me, I’ll turn against you.”

Li Guowei's curses grew louder and louder. He had initially refused to listen to his father's orders, but he had always listened to his father's lectures and wanted to do better. However, things didn't go as planned. The harder he tried, the more he failed. Now he was being scolded to his face. He had really had enough of this!

"Fine, if you've got the guts, take your things and get out of this house, and never come back!" Seeing that he still dared to talk back, Li Dahai felt a lump in his throat and almost couldn't breathe.

Seeing this, Huang Ju quickly poured him a glass of water and handed it to him, then reached out to pat his back. She then scolded her son, saying, "Look how angry you've made your father. Go upstairs and repent. If anything happens to your father, I'll kick you out of the house too."

"Mom, I'm really tired. I don't want to be your puppet anymore. You can decide what to do." After saying that, Li Guowei turned and went upstairs.

Xu Jingjing quickly said, "Mom and Dad, I'll go upstairs and try to persuade him." If he falls out with the family and moves out, how will she ever have a chance to get close to Li Zhicheng? She'll be the one who suffers the most!

Huang Ju nodded, signaling her to hurry up. Actually, she was quite satisfied with her eldest son, who had always been very obedient. If he hadn't married Xu Jingjing this time, she would have been even more satisfied.

Xu Jingjing has no background and can't help their family at all, but her son insists on marrying her, and she has no choice.

After entering the room, Li Guowei lay down on the large bed, staring at the ceiling, his face full of grievances he had nowhere to confide in.

"Are you going to laugh at me too? Do you also think I'm useless?" he said self-deprecatingly. Even though Xu Jingjing didn't say anything, he could feel from the bottom of his heart that she looked down on him.

“I’m not mocking you. My husband is the best. I, Xu Jingjing, have good taste. I don’t care what others say. In short, you are the best.” Xu Jingjing lay down beside him and whispered to him. He needed encouragement at this moment. If she continued to pour cold water on him, she was afraid he really wouldn’t be able to stand up.

Li Guowei reached out and pulled her into his arms, finally smiling, "My wife is still the best."

"So don't be discouraged. You still have me. If we work together, we'll eventually achieve what we want. You just want to be valued, don't you just want to prove that you can do it? Let's think of other ways." Xu Jingjing began to indulge him.

"What good ideas do you have?" Li Guowei calmed down and realized that he had acted impulsively. He couldn't meet his parents' expectations, yet he still had a reason to be angry. He shouldn't have done that. Besides, no matter how dissatisfied he was, it had nothing to do with his father.

"I'll say it again: find a way to get me in there?" Xu Jingjing was full of hope. Seeing the dejected Li Guowei, she became even more determined to win over Li Zhicheng.

"Wife, this won't work for me. I really don't have any say in the Li family." He had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Why don't you go find Menghan after you finish eating? And beg her again?" Xu Jingjing began to put her plan into action, wanting everyone to slowly fall into her trap.

“Menghan will not forgive us. You saw Uncle’s attitude. We won’t get any benefits from them.” Li Guowei had completely given up hope. Even when Xu Jingjing banged her head against the wall, she was unmoved. No matter how much he talked, he couldn’t get any response from her.

"Shall we go find our great-grandmother?" Xu Jingjing was still thinking of a solution.

"Well, we can only try to work on her again."

The couple lay in bed, thinking of various ways to cope.

Shen Menghan and Li Zhicheng then began their meal.

She sat alone to one side, facing Li Zhicheng, while her grandmother sat in the main seat. She ate quickly, not wanting them to bring her up in the conversation. She planned to finish eating soon and go upstairs to rest.

Seeing her rushing around as if she had something urgent, Li Zhicheng asked with concern, "Xiaohan, are you going out?"

Shen Menghan hadn't originally planned to go out, but after he mentioned it, she casually replied, "Mm."

"I send you."

"No need, I'll drive myself." He follows her wherever she goes, she has no freedom at all, this kind of life is really speechless.

“Then I’ll have the driver take you,” he said stubbornly, worried about her being alone.

"I,"

“Many media outlets are watching, you can’t handle it alone.” Li Zhicheng had no choice but to persuade her and make her understand her current situation.

"Then I won't go out." Since it's so troublesome, she'd rather stay home.
