Chapter 242 The person he will never forget in his heart
Mrs. Fu heated up a glass of milk and said, "Miss, you don't have to think too much. We'll talk about the future later. Drink some milk and go to bed early. You can't ignore your own health now."
Su Yujing walked into the room. She lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep. She didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn.
As soon as Li Yaonan stepped out of the elevator, he saw Li Hongtao. He walked over and said, "Dad."
"Yaonan, do you have time to have breakfast with dad?" Li Hongtao knew that he needed his son's help now.
Li Yaonan nodded, "Of course."
Then the two of them walked into the hotel restaurant together. Li Hongtao wanted to say something, but he hesitated for a long time and finally did not say anything.
Maybe he felt that he owed his son a lot, and there were some things he still couldn't say out loud.
"Yao Nan, if you are free in the evening, go home and have a meal. I will ask your aunt to prepare more of your favorite dishes." Li Hongtao said.
He didn't know if Li Yaonan would agree. No matter how bad he treated him, Li Yaonan was still his son, which was a fact that couldn't be changed.
"I may have some entertainment in the evening. If I am free, I will go back." Li Yaonan did not give a clear answer, but Li Hongtao still thought that his son might go back.
Li Hongtao left the hotel and went to the company. Although the company was in a downturn, there were still things that he needed to deal with.
Li Yaonan finished the work at hand and sat in the coffee shop on the first floor, drinking coffee.
Li Ruoqi arrived at the hotel after class. She walked over and sat down opposite Li Yaonan, "Brother, why are you sitting here drinking coffee alone?"
"What about you? You came here alone without calling in advance. I can go pick you up." Li Yaonan was afraid that something would happen to Li Ruoqi. He was more worried about his sister.
Li Ruoqi ordered a glass of juice and shook her head, "No, I took a taxi. It's very convenient and it's not far away."
"That's good." Li Yaonan smiled, "You girl have really grown up."
"Of course I have to learn to be independent. Don't I have to rely on myself in the future? I don't want to rely on my family, brother, as you know, I just want to live the life I want." Li Ruoqi doesn't care what happens to the Li family.
She didn't even care, and she had never thought of such a luxurious life.
If an ordinary life can bring her happiness, she doesn't want the wealth she has now.
"Qiqi, no matter what happens in the future, I will always be your brother, do you understand?" Li Yaonan could be cruel to anyone, but for Li Ruoqi, he loved her.
Li Ruoqi took a sip of juice and said, "Brother, dad said he asked you to go home for dinner at night. Do you want to go back with him?"
Li Yaonan nodded, "I had something to do tonight, but I just canceled it. I happen to be free, so let's go back together."
"Brother, if you don't want to go back, you can actually refuse. I know your parents don't treat you well." Li Ruoqi wanted the family to sit down and have a good meal, but she would not force anyone.
Especially Li Yaonan, Li Ruoqi is very clear about the grievances he has suffered in the Li family for so many years.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a meal." Li Yaonan didn't care about this. He always had his own decisions and opinions, and he would not let Li Hongtao and Qin Caifeng succeed.
As soon as Li Yaonan returned to the villa, Qin Caifeng was enthusiastic and asked for hand-ground coffee to be brewed in the kitchen, "Yaonan, you drink some coffee, the kitchen is still preparing dinner."
"Aunt, you don't have to be so polite to me. This is my home too. Although I haven't been back for half a year, I used to come back only once every few months. You are so polite, but you let me go out." Li Yaonan knew that Qin Caifeng was deliberately trying to please her.
So, he also tried to distance himself deliberately.
In the past, every time Li Yaonan came back, Qin Caifeng never looked down upon her.
Qin Caifeng smiled awkwardly, "Yes, we are all a family, there is no need to be too polite. Yaonan, your dad is upstairs, do you want to go up and accompany him?"
Li Yaonan nodded, "That's fine."
Li Hongtao was sitting in the study on the second floor, waiting for his son to go upstairs. When there was a knock on the door, he pretended to look at the documents seriously.
Li Yaonan opened the door and walked in, "Dad."
Li Hongtao stood up from his chair and said, "Yaonan, you're here, I thought you wouldn't be willing to come back."
"How could it be? I stayed in the hotel for the convenience of my work. I will come back to see you when I have time." Li Yaonan has stabilized in the United States and will not have much time to come back in the future. Moreover, there is no reason why he would like to
Come back home.
Li Hongtao and Li Yaonan sat on the sofa, "Yaonan, I know you have a lot of work to do when you come back this time, and I shouldn't bother you. But after all, you have also stayed at Li's before. See if you can
Helping the company can also be considered as doing dad a favor."
Li Hongtao didn't know how long it would take for Li Yaonan to return to the country this time. If he didn't firmly grasp the time now, he might lose his son's help.
Li Yaonan listened to Li Hongtao's words. He just drank tea. After a long time, he put down the tea cup and said, "Dad, I'm afraid I can't help."
The project was invested, but there was insufficient funds. In just a few short months, the company not only failed to make a profit, but also suffered a substantial loss. This is because Li's company has many branches, and it is difficult for Li Hongtao to take charge of it alone.
Not that easy.
"Yaonan, your company in the United States is so big, why can't you help? Do you think Li still hates his father until now?" Li Hongtao and Li Yaonan, father and son, had never gotten along well, so he just felt
There is always a knot in my son's heart that has not been untied, which is why he is like this.
Li Yaonan stood up and said, "Dad, don't you think I should hate you?"
What kind of life did he live in the Li family? What kind of life did he live alone when he was sent abroad? When he was still a child, he lost his mother who loved him the most.
Qin Caifeng had done so many things back then, and she was so arrogant that she thought she was everything, so she forced his mother to death.
Now, he also wants Qin Caifeng to know that some good things are not forever, and some things will be lost if they are lost.
Therefore, she will not be so happy all her life. Some pain will disappear, and some pain will begin.
If Li Yaonan can't let go of what's deep in his heart, he won't be able to let go of his hatred for the Li family.
"I know it was my fault back then. If I could have been nicer to your mother, she would not have died. If I could fulfill my responsibility as the head of the family, I could even give her a title."
Li Hongtao only destroyed her because of his temporary desire.
"Dad, you clearly know that what my mother wants is not status, money, or power. She just wants a little love from you. Have you ever given it to her? If it weren't for my son,
, can’t she even get in through the Li family’s door?” Li Yaonan sneered.
He was still young at that time, but he understood everything.
"Yes, it was because she gave birth to you and gave birth to the Li family that I let her live in the villa. But if I had let her live outside by herself, then she might not have
You will die like that." Li Hongtao also knew in his heart that what he did back then was wrong.
"No, dad, some things are doomed. The last thing you should do is to forcefully defile your wife even though you already have her." Li Yaonan also found out later that his mother had a man she loved, but...
Li Hongtao was unscrupulous, otherwise, these things would not have happened.
Li Hongtao sighed heavily, "Yes, what you said is right. It was my fault. I was moved by her beauty when I saw her, and that's why I did that. However, I fell in love with her later on."
If a relationship happens when neither she nor he is willing, then whose fault is it?
"It's late, everything is late." Li Yaonan got up from the sofa and stood in front of the window, "Dad, do you know that sometimes when I look out the window, I can always see my mother's figure? In this villa,
She is not your woman, not your wife, she is worse than a servant. Do you know that she is not doing well? You know it, and you don’t care about it, right?"
Li Yaonan watched helplessly as Qin Caifeng whipped his mother with a whip, but there was nothing he could do.
In the end, his mother chose to die for him.
She said that she was in too much pain, so she wanted to be selfish for once. She said that she had to leave first and could not take good care of his son.
Li Yaonan held back a tear at that time. He knew that his mother wanted him to learn to be independent, learn to face it, and learn how to face everything.
"I know I was wrong. Yaonan, please stop thinking about the past. After all, so many years have passed." Li Hongtao wanted to change the subject.
Li Yaonan did not, and he would not agree. He has worked hard for so many years just for today.
"Dad, do you know? Mom will be in my heart forever and will never be forgotten, so no matter what I do, it will never be too late or never." Li Yaonan waited until he was able to fully
The earth destroys everything.
Li Hongtao sighed, "Yaonan, are you not willing to help me with the company's affairs this time? If you are willing to help, I am willing to give you half of the company's equity. You want the position of CEO,
I can also give it to you, or I can ask for nothing."
He knows that only if the company can survive can he negotiate for the future. However, if the company cannot survive for even one year, then what else can he face.
He didn't want to leave himself with nothing, so he wanted to ask his son for help.
"Dad, do you know what I want?" Li Yaonan asked calmly.
But Li Hongtao hesitated, he really didn't know what his son wanted.
