Chapter 705: Chapter 705: Marriage, Not Matrilocal Residence
Li Yufei: “Ms. Zhang, why did you marry my dad?”
Zhang Aiyun was suddenly at a loss for words.
Li Yufei: “You come from an ordinary background, relying on your youth and a bit of beauty. Back then, you know what price you paid to sit in this position and talk to me!”
Zhang Aiyun: “I married your dad because I love him!”
Li Yufei: “Well, there’s no need for you to explain. Don’t worry, I won’t say you’re after the Li Family’s wealth and glory, since it’s the truth. But, do I need to remind you? The wealth you covet is under the name ‘Li’, the ‘Li’ in ‘Li Yufei’.”
Old Mr. Li finally couldn’t stand it: “Enough!”
Zhang Aiyun felt extremely wronged: “Old Mr. Li, listen to her, she’s becoming more and more reckless with her words! Is this Li Family only hers? She can’t wait to completely dismiss us! This Li Family was built up by you back then! Now, the family has grown, and after she took over from you, she’s become even more conceited!”
Old Mr. Li: “You shut up too, say no more!”
Zhang Aiyun was so frightened she fell silent.
Li Yufei picked up her tea cup, rubbing the rim: “So, did Dad call me home because of his issue?”
Old Mr. Li said: “I know! You’re divorced, you’re still young, you really can’t be alone for the rest of your life! I don’t disagree with you finding someone, but this person, I don’t agree to him stepping into the Li Family at all.”
Li Yufei said: “He certainly won’t enter the Li Family, because I will marry him, not invite him to be a son-in-law.”
Old Mr. Li’s eyes widened: “What!?”
Li Yufei said: “Dad, you heard correctly, if we really reach the point of talking about marriage, I will marry him, not have him marry into our family.”
Zhang Aiyun: “How can this be!? If you marry him, then hand over the control of the Li Family!”
Li Yufei: “Yes, I have seriously considered this issue. After all, by Li family tradition, daughters who marry out no longer bear the name ‘Li’.”
Zhang Aiyun was somewhat surprised, somewhat skeptical.
It was clear that Li Yufei was really invested in that man, even willing to marry him.
Back then, she liked Du Shaoheng so much, but did not go as far as to give up her right to inherit the Li Family and marry him.
But for Rong Ling, she’s actually willing to give all this up.
It seems that love really can make people lose their minds.
But that’s what she was glad to see happen!
Currently, the control of the Li Family has always been firmly in Li Yufei’s hands.
If she really is willing to give up this power, it would be optimistic from her perspective!
Zhang Aiyun was about to say something when Li Yufei suddenly looked towards Old Mr. Li: “Dad, I’ve thought about it, Yanzhou is at the age where he should start a family and career. I plan to talk to him, the actor’s life is a young person’s game, he’s been at it for so many years he should consider taking over the family business. I plan to persuade him to leave the industry, then let him enter the Li Family to train under me, in the future, when the time comes, I’ll hand over the Li Family to him for him to manage well, and I’ll step back into a supportive role. If the Li Family still needs me, I’ll support Yanzhou well.”
Zhang Aiyun could no longer sit still: “What does Yanzhou know about management!? Handing the company to him is not as good as giving it to…”
“To Li Yanqing?” Li Yufei interrupted her directly, “After all, Yanqing is your biological son. If I step back, you’re glad to see it happen, but if I hand the position to Yanzhou, in your eyes, it’s still no advantage. Isn’t it?”
Zhang Aiyun: “I… I didn’t mean that! I just think Yanqing has improved a lot these years, let him try managing the company, and if he’s excellent enough, in the future, he can take over the Li Family!”
Li Yufei: “Why?”
Zhang Aiyun: “Yanqing is your brother too! Just because he doesn’t share the same mother as you, do you have different thoughts about him?”
Li Yufei slowly raised her eyelids: “Yes, you’re right.”
Zhang Aiyun’s eyes widened.
Li Yufei: “I just don’t like him! I hate him! I’m not you, I can’t be as hypocritical, secretly wishing me dead yet pretending to be polite, forcing a smile at me! I’m not Li Yanqing either, with such ambition but not even daring to say it! Everyone wants this position, but not everyone can have it! If Li Yanqing wants it, that’s fine, as long as he has the ability, I’ll give it to him.”
Zhang Aiyun retaliated unwillingly: “You really are so self-righteous! Do you really think that you’re the core of the Li Family, and without you, it’s nothing, is that it?”
Li Yufei: “Without me, the Li Family would only be ruins. Try it if you don’t believe me.”
Zhang Aiyun’s lips trembled with rage.
Li Yufei: “Ms. Zhang, I’m warning you, stop playing mind games with me. I’m not buying it. Also, you don’t need to have opinions about the people around me, if you dare to gossip next time, I’ll cut your living expenses.”
Zhang Aiyun’s monthly living expenses were disbursed from an account under Li Yufei’s name.
Her words made Zhang Aiyun’s face turn blue with anger, she looked towards Old Mr. Li.
Old Mr. Li sighed: “Yufei, don’t be so aggressive with your words! But some of what you said just now, I agree with! Indeed, Yanzhou is of age and acting won’t last forever! You should persuade him well, if he shows some talent in managing the company, teach him well. Also, give Yanqing more opportunities, even if you have opinions about your stepmother, Yanqing is still your brother. Consider it giving me face.”
Li Yufei: “Got it.”
She stood up and nodded slightly: “Dad, is there anything else?”
Old Mr. Li waved his hand, not looking pleased.
As the saying goes, a harmonious family prospers.
At this age, he has no ambitions in business, only wishing for family harmony.
But the discord between wife and daughter is truly troubling!
Li Yufei curled her lips into a smile, looked at Zhang Aiyun, nodded politely, gave her a pointed glance, and swaggered away!
Zhang Aiyun’s eyebrows twitched with anger, but she could only watch her leave!
…
The car stopped at the entrance.
Shao Chen saw her come out, and immediately opened the back car door.
Li Yufei got into the car quietly.
Shao Chen looked at her face and knew she was holding back anger.
Looks like she had another quarrel with Ms. Zhang!
Closing the car door.
The quiet space inside the car immediately calmed Li Yufei down.
She looked out the window, her red lips slightly pressed together.
Seeing as how her father learned so quickly about Rong Ling, it seems Zhang Aiyun hired a detective to investigate her life.
