Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Page 448

It's his brother-in-law again. If he really gets divorced, he can just find someone else and be fine.

In reality, 80% of people who divorce and remarry are not as happy as they were before.

The remaining 20% believe that the purpose of marriage is not to live a life together.

Naturally, there's no question of whether the relationship is good or bad.

Before achieving their goal, they lived in harmony and mutual support.

After achieving the goal...

Yu Haitang doesn't belong to this category; she genuinely likes Li Aiguo and wants to spend her life with him.

She might have some ulterior motives, but ultimately she wants to have a good future with him.

However, somehow, the two drifted further and further apart.

"Sister-in-law, I'm willing to be transferred."

After Yingzi asked for her opinion, Yu Haitang expressed her willingness to be transferred to work with Li Aiguo.

The capital is good, much better than other places.

At least during the most difficult times, not many people in the capital starved to death.

After all, it is the 'official' center, and its stable stance is far firmer than anywhere else.

However, now her family is about to lose everything.

Why care about stability or suitability?

To put it bluntly, does Yu Haitang care more about life in the capital or about her relationship with Li Aiguo?

Choose one of the two.

If they stay in the capital, their relationship will definitely run into problems.

It's highly likely they'll get a divorce.

Going to Li Aiguo's place has a chance of still getting a divorce, but it also has a chance of reconciliation.

As the saying goes, a broken mirror can be mended.

This describes the bond between husband and wife; this love can lead to separation even in times of great hardship, or it can last until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble.

For the past few years, Yu Haitang has been working at the steel rolling mill's broadcasting station.

However, she is no longer a broadcaster.

A pretty new girl replaced her, and she was promoted to director, becoming the 'big shot' she used to have to be careful around.

But sometimes, Yu Haitang still feels that she misses her days as a broadcaster more.

"Your brother-in-law said that the radio station will be replaced by automation in the future, and the staff may also be cut."

Therefore, we'll assign you to the propaganda department; you'll be the deputy director there for now.

Yingzi didn't mention a word about what would happen if she did well or not.

Yu Haitang understood that this was to see if she would still be considered a member of the 'Li family' in the future.

No matter what, Yingzi's surname is Li.

Li Aiguo is her younger brother, and she is the daughter who was raised with love and care.

There's no reason to side with outsiders.

Even if they wanted to abduct someone, they couldn't abduct them to the Yu family's home.

"Sister, I understand." Yu Haitang nodded obediently.

Since you can't let go of this wealth, you should understand your own position.

She can argue and make a scene with Aiguo.

But in this family, even if you can't be a virtuous wife, you should at least be a sensible daughter-in-law.

"The school for the child has also been arranged, through Aiguo's connections... He still cares a lot about you being able to come."

"Haitang, you need to live life carefully. I've already talked to Aiguo about it. You two... try to understand each other!"

Yingzi didn't know how to say some things, and she felt guilty.

Li Aiguo is over there, and there must be some signs of something going on, even she, as the older sister, can sense it.

Therefore, when she faced the crabapple blossoms...

Feeling somewhat ashamed, Yingzi made a decision in her heart.

Once Zhiyi's work is arranged, she will go there in person.

Let's see who is making patriots so disloyal that they've abandoned their homes.

Does that mean he's planning to abandon his parents and even her, his older sister?

They really think being a factory manager is something special!

Even if you become president, I'll still beat you.

Yingzi was furious this time, because she had previously refused to believe that her younger brother would do such a thing.

But in hindsight, she was overthinking things.

However, when her thoughts turned to Jiangdao, Yingzi felt discouraged again.

She doesn't seem to have any right to criticize others.

What if it's another Lou Xiao'e?

……

Jiangdao, Lou Xiao'e, who had disappeared for more than half a year, quietly returned to Hong Kong.

Apart from her parents and the old servants in the house, no one knew that she had returned.

Everyone in the Lou family thought she was still recuperating abroad!

In fact, this long period of rest and recuperation has caused great anxiety among the Lou family members.

Many people are speculating whether Lou Xiao'e has some hidden health problem.

Lou's father only has one daughter, Lou Xiao'e. What if something really happens to her?

The once-powerful Lou family business would be without a successor and would inevitably descend into chaos.

Some people are trying to take advantage of the situation; they have grand ambitions.

Of course, there are also loyalists who want to see the Lou family's life stable.

These people are Lou Xiao'e's staunch supporters, and they are the people she has won back over the years through her methods and abilities.

But now, Lou Xiao'e is in trouble!

Whether or not to continue supporting Lou Xiao'e became their greatest torment.

At this point, the neutral parties are the most comfortable.

They don't rely on anyone; they just follow whoever is stronger and cheer them on from behind.

Regardless of who wins, these people will inevitably benefit in the end.

Why choose sides so early? You only have one life.

Isn't it good to have wealth and status in your hands now?

That night, at 8 o'clock.

Lou's executives' private secretary received a notification from the board secretary's office: "An emergency board meeting will be held at 9 a.m. tomorrow. Everyone must attend."

The secretary, who was working overtime on the sofa, forced herself to pass on the message to her boss despite feeling uncomfortable.

"Huff~ Huff~ What is Lao Lou up to now? Her daughter is hiding abroad and doesn't dare to come back, yet she still has energy."

"Boss, do you need me to make any arrangements?"

"...Make the arrangements, we still need to go."

One night, everyone harbored their own secrets.

The following morning, at the Lou-style headquarters building.

Some people arrived at the conference room as early as 8:40. The huge conference room was empty, with only a few people sitting in their seats.

They were staunch supporters of the Lou family, but at this moment, everyone's face was filled with worry.

This unexpected board meeting gave everyone a sense of foreboding.

Could it be that Lou Xiao'e's problem... is serious?

Some people also tried to ask Lou's father what exactly was going on with Lou Xiao'e.

But he always smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just went to relax. I'm tired, so I'm taking a break."

Anyone who believes such nonsense will never be qualified to enter the meeting room.

Now, Lou's father has suddenly notified everyone to convene an emergency board meeting.

Something really bad has definitely happened!

As time went on, more and more people came.

Seeing the worried expressions on the faces of the first few people who arrived, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself: "They were quick to take sides back then, now they regret it!"

At 9:00 AM sharp, the conference room doors were closed.

The meeting room, which should have been full, had four empty seats; four people were absent.

There were two neutral parties, and another was a distant relative of the Lou family who had been vying for control with the Lou family.

Finally, there is the head seat, the president's seat.

The small door behind the chairman's seat opened, and the company secretary came out, standing respectfully to the side and saying, "The chairman has arrived."

Some people stood up, some remained indifferent, and some showed disdain.

But everyone's eyes were fixed on that small door.

Then, they saw Lou's father come out.

Disappointment, indifference, and mockery were evident on many faces, with a knowing smirk on their faces.

But the next second, everyone's expressions froze on their faces.

Because behind Lou's father, a plump figure holding a baby in swaddling clothes walked gracefully towards them.

Lou Xiao'e is back.

Looking at Lou's father sitting on a folding chair against the wall with the company secretary, and then at the woman sitting in the main seat who kept her head down caring for the baby in her arms.

Thunder roared in everyone's heads!

This is a major incident.

Chapter 497 The Crown Prince, Settlement

Lou Xiao'e is back, which is surprising, but there's nothing to worry about.

But she didn't come back alone; she was carrying a child in her arms.

This child is as terrifying as a 'nuclear bomb' in the eyes of some people.

Previously, some people were able to challenge Lou Xiao'e's authority.

It's simply because she's a woman, and she'll get married sooner or later.

Once she marries, will all of Lou's family's wealth go to her husband's family? This touches on too many interests.

It can be said that once Lou Xiao'e gets married...

It involves not just the interests of one person, but the interests of everyone.

Even her supporters will choose to stand idly by and watch her be driven out of the Lou family by the enemy.
