Li Xinghua couldn't help but feel worried.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Li Beijue say calmly: "I have no such plan. Dad, didn't you come to see grandpa today?"
There was no emotion in Li Beijue's tone, and he was reminding Li Xinghua to pay less attention to his own affairs.
Li Xinghua's eyes flickered for a moment, thinking of his wife's instructions before going out, he opened his mouth and swallowed the words again.
There was a glint in Li Beichen's eyes, and he took the words very naturally: "Brother, don't blame father. He is also worried about you. It is really because of the recent rumors outside, which are a bit excessive..."
"What are the rumors?" Mr. Li frowned and asked immediately.
When Li Beichen heard this, he immediately put on a hesitant expression and said, "This...Grandpa, do you really want to listen?"
Mr. Li slammed his cane: "If there is anything you can't listen to, just say it!"
Li Beichen hesitated for another two seconds and looked at Li Beijue: "Brother, I told you, you must not be angry..."
Li Beijue looked away lightly and said nothing.
He has long been used to it.
It would be really strange if the father and son didn't say anything today.
Li Beijue thought, and then he heard Li Beichen slowly say: "I have heard people say before, and there are rumors outside that the eldest brother actually doesn't like...women at all..."
Li Beichen spoke slowly, observing the expressions of Li Beijue and Mr. Li calmly, and continued: "It is said that Yanbao also went to... to make an agreement to give birth to a child in order to add an heir to our family. "
"Nonsense!"
The crutch in Mr. Li's hand hit the ground with a bang again!
As the person involved, Li Beijue didn't react at all, and his expression remained as calm as before.
Li Xinghua also hurriedly spoke: "Dad, don't be angry first. We are also worried, so today we want to ask Bei Jue, what is going on? What if he is really... We feel confident. Recently, Li Xinghua His stock price has dropped several points, probably because of this reason."
Li Beijue's eyes sharpened, and his expression finally became a little moved.
He had indeed heard such rumors recently, but he didn't pay any attention to them.
The stocks that have fallen will eventually rise back up, and will not pose any threat to the Li family.
It’s just that I didn’t want to tell Grandpa or cause him trouble...
"Beijue, is what Beichen said true?" Mr. Li's face was indeed much more serious than before.
Just as Li Beijue was about to answer, he heard Li Xinghua speak again: "I happen to know some ladies from famous families. Why don't you meet them? If you are interested in any of them, it would be better to get married as soon as possible. Those rumors will naturally be disproven. Besides, Yan Bao also needs a mommy."
"No need." Li Beijue refused without thinking, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.
Do you really think you don’t know what they are planning?
Even if he wanted to marry, he would not marry the woman they arranged!
Li Xinghua's face suddenly became ugly.
In front of the old man, he didn't say much.
Li Beichen was a little unhappy with Li Beijue's attitude.
"Brother, isn't it too impolite for you to speak to Dad like this? He is also doing it for your own good. You are now the helmsman of the Li family, and you represent the face of the entire Li family! It would be most embarrassing if such rumors spread outside. It’s still grandpa! Have you ever thought about him?”
Li Beichen's words directly raised this matter to a higher level and involved Mr. Li.
Li Beijue's eyes suddenly escalated with anger.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw the little guy in the old man's arms move from the corner of his eye.
"Why is this kind of thing embarrassing?" Mo Bai blinked his big eyes and asked innocently.
The adults were silent for a moment.
Li Beijue also looked a little surprised.
Mo Bai felt a little unhappy in his heart.
He didn't know why, but he felt very unhappy when he heard Li Beijue being said like this.
Daddy doesn't like women, how could he have fathered himself with mommy?
It's so annoying when these two people talk!
Only you can bully daddy!
I don’t want others to bully me!
A certain child didn't react at all. He had already planned a place in Li Beijue's heart.
Mo Bai thought about it, and when no one answered him, he deliberately asked: "Grandpa, do you think my dad has embarrassed you?"
"Of course not!" Mr. Li immediately shook his head: "Your daddy is the most outstanding child in our family! He has never let me down!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Beichen's expression suddenly became a little subtle.
Mo Bai deliberately nodded with sudden realization: "Then what do you mean by uncle's words? Our teachers have taught us that if we are upright, we are not afraid of slanted shadows! Why should we care about what other people say? Besides, it is outsiders who say bad things about daddy. Why doesn’t uncle explain to daddy and why he wants daddy to get married as soon as possible?”
Children's questions are always straightforward and sharp, and the adults present fell silent again.
Li Beichen clenched his fists tightly and cast an unkind look on Mo Bai.
What happened to this little mute today?
So much to talk!
Aren’t you usually very talkative?
Li Beijue also looked a little surprised.
He never expected that Yanbao would actually speak for him.
at this time--
"What a good person...he is upright and not afraid of slanting shadows!"
A voice suddenly came from the direction of the door, sounding a little drunk.
Everyone in the living room looked towards the door and saw a man wearing a floral shirt and white trousers swaying over.
"Li Xiao! Why are you drinking like this again!"
Mr. Li looked at his youngest son with dissatisfaction, his brows filled with helplessness.
Li Xiao waved his hand, stepped forward and rubbed Mo Bai's little head.
"Dad, this kid from a rich family... There are so many men and women everywhere, gossip is inevitable everywhere, not to mention that Bei Jue has never done anything before, so why should he care about this?"
Mr. Li paused for a moment and suddenly figured out something.
The corners of Li Xiao's lips curled up slightly, and he turned to look at Li Beichen: "Beichen, you don't need to learn these words at home in the future. If any of the talkative servants spread the word, I'm afraid they will think that you are deliberately discrediting you in front of grandpa. Brother."
When he said this, he seemed to be smiling but not smiling. It seemed like it was just a drunken remark, but it also seemed like a warning.
Li Beichen immediately lowered his head: "Uncle Third, I remember."
Li Xiao looked away and waved his hand: "You guys can chat, I'm going upstairs to rest."
He said nothing, raised his feet and walked towards the stairs.
Mo Bai looked at Li Xiao's back and blinked. He was suddenly curious about him and liked him a little.
Just as he was thinking about it, he felt himself being hugged back by Mr. Li again.
There was also a big hand covering the top of his head.
"Hey...it would be great if...it was still there."
Mr. Li muttered quietly, but when he mentioned the name, he was vague for a moment.
But Mo Bai heard it clearly...
Jiang Baobao? Did grandpa just say mommy?
Mo Bai's big eyes rolled around, and then he asked deliberately: "Grandpa, were you talking about Mommy just now? Mommy is back!"
