He didn't realize that the wise man was laughing at her stupid behavior of not being calm when things happened.
She also took it for granted that the think tank had come up with a wonderful solution for her.
So I kept asking the think tank what solution he could think of?
But, not bad!
The wise man hasn't spoken yet.
Then I saw the old patriarch standing up and calling "Zhang Ling, wait a moment" in the surveillance video.
Obviously, this is a personal statement telling Li Xi what calmness and trust are?
It’s just that Li Xi’s dull mind is not enough.
I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it in this life.
This time Zhang Ling showed a bit of arrogance.
Although the moving footsteps stopped.
But he didn't immediately turn around and look at the old patriarch.
Keep in a state of leaving at any time and say:
"Grandpa Patriarch, if you have anything to do, please tell me quickly. I think you should know that our contemporary young people are very busy at this time."
The old patriarch grinned with disdain.
I thought that today's young people really dare to ask for help.
Dare you say that you are busy in front of him?
However, he did not interrupt Zhang Ling's narrative.
Then he heard Zhang Ling continue to turn her back to him and say:
"I'm afraid Li Xi has already spoken out for you. The fall of night is the real beginning of the day for us young people."
That’s right!
The old patriarch knew it very well.
In the past night.
If he has any official business to deal with here.
Li Xi must not be able to bear the loneliness and hang out in various well-known nightclubs.
Often we would not see anyone until early the next morning after having fun.
He also knew that Zhang Ling was talking about herself on the surface.
In fact, he was using this incident to mock him for turning Li Xi into a veritable playboy.
The old patriarch felt inexplicably bitter in his heart.
He knew in his heart that now was not the time to feel sad about autumn.
He immediately restrained his sad emotions, put on a friendly smile and continued:
"I see!"
The continuous "I understand" made Li Xiang on the side feel that the old patriarch seemed to be extremely humble.
Likewise, he also smelled the scent of a huge conspiracy.
Based on Li Xiang’s understanding of the old patriarch’s character.
If there is no huge benefit to the old patriarch.
This old man will never let go of his arrogant attitude.
Showing such humility to a junior.
What benefits can the old patriarch get from Zhang Ling?
Only then could he trample under his feet the majesty he usually established.
Li Xiang really couldn't think of it for a moment.
She could only silently help Zhang Ling stay vigilant at all times.
The old patriarch then said:
"However, before I talk about this, I have to remind you of something. It is related to your daughter Xiaodouzi."
Zhang Ling and Li Xiang felt nervous.
They glanced at each other with looks of worry and fear on their faces.
Then they both looked at the old patriarch who was speaking.
However, the two of them didn't have time to speak yet.
The old patriarch seemed to be threatening and said:
"Oh, I still clearly remember the last time I saw that cute little girl at the Li Clan Ancestral Hall. It feels like it just happened yesterday."
Xiaodouzi is the bottom line that Zhang Ling will never allow to touch.
The old patriarch's touch made her unable to hold back for a moment.
He took two quick steps toward the old patriarch and asked unceremoniously:
"What exactly are you trying to remind me of?"
The worst outcome she could think of was that Xiaodouzi would be locked up in some unknown dark room again.
Then it will inevitably cause irreversible psychological trauma to the child Xiaodouzi.
The old patriarch's smiling face clearly showed a hint of pride as he said:
"Don't be nervous! That kid, Xiaodouzi, is very cute. I said it's impossible for you to take the initiative to hurt her."
A disdainful smile flashed across Zhang Ling's face and urged:
"explain!"
The old patriarch was very unhappy with Zhang Ling's attitude.
But he still said calmly with a look of victory in hand:
"Do you still remember the document you signed last time that the family would provide education funds to cultivate Xiaodouzi?"
Zhang Ling nodded and said "Yeah".
"Maybe you didn't see a special clause."
"What special terms?"
"The terms stipulate that you and your wife must successfully organize a grand wedding within one year from the date of signing the document."
Zhang Ling finally heard it.
This does not matter whether Zhang Ling agrees or not.
The old patriarch just informed them to get married as soon as possible.
What was she thinking?
She must be required to marry Li Xiang.
For a moment she couldn't think of it.
I could only try my best to stay calm and ask:
"what else?"
Last time, I just browsed mainly about the rights and interests that can be enjoyed by Xiaodouzi.
As for what specific responsibilities she needs to perform?
To be honest, she didn't look carefully.
But she knew clearly that the old patriarch had not finished what he said.
The old patriarch continued to explain with a serious face:
"Otherwise, the family will regard you as Zhang Ling as a voluntary breach of contract."
"no……"
Zhang Ling really wanted to give a reasonable explanation for this.
But she couldn't think of the best words to explain it.
The old patriarch ignored the behavior she wanted to explain.
He continued to explain his views to Zhang Ling and said:
"Not only will the investment in Xiaodouzi's education fund be cut off, but also the right to require Xiaodouzi's guardian to compensate the family for up to 10,000 times the amount invested in the education fund."
After hearing the old patriarch's narration, Zhang Ling vaguely recalled that there was indeed such a breach of contract clause.
At that time, I thought there was a high probability that she and Li Xiang would get married.
So I subconsciously ignored this clause.
Now she suddenly understood why Li Xiang had never disclosed the fact of their breakup to the public.
On the one hand, Xiaodouzi can continue to enjoy the educational resources he deserves.
For example, Xiaodouzi can attend any training class for free as long as he is willing.
On the other hand, I'm afraid it's Li Xiang's personal selfishness.
She thought about keeping it a secret for now, just in case she, Zhang Ling, was just impulsive and made the decision she regretted.
If the old patriarch finds out about the breakup.
Arrange for a lawyer to force Zhang Ling to collect liquidated damages.
Then the relationship between her and Li Xiang may never go back.
Think of this.
Zhang Ling silently thanked Li Xiang for his selfishness.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It turns out that the reason why Li Xiang’s Zhihua Technology has become a leading company in the field of artificial intelligence.
This is inseparable from Li Xiang's unique vision.
In other words, all she considered was the immediate tactical issue.
Li Xiang, on the other hand, looks at the overall situation and considers strategic issues.
Easy-to-understand explanation:
She, Zhang Ling, always considers her own personal feelings.
And Li Xiang, on the basis of considering herself, not only includes Zhang Ling herself, but also handles the interpersonal relationships around her very well.
Zhang Ling couldn't help feeling that she had woken up in time.
Otherwise, she would definitely regret it.
You must know that the Li family's investment in Xiaodouzi's education fund for one year does not seem to be much.
But if the liquidated damages are ten thousand times as required by the contract.
Needless to say, it is a painful amount of money.
Now because of Xiaodouzi.
Her previous relationship between Zhang Ling and Li Xiang.
They were inexplicably bound together by this agreement.
Zhang Ling is a person who likes freedom.
But this time, I felt a secret sense of happiness because of the constraints of this contract.
Why is the word "hidden joy" used here?
That's because Zhang Ling felt that only these two words could express her true feelings at this time.
That is, the kind that secretly buys a lottery ticket.
Unexpectedly, God allowed her to secretly win the grand prize again.
Zhang Ling listened to the old patriarch's statement.
There was no immediate response to this.
On the contrary, her eyes rarely took the initiative to show a little more affection towards Li Xiang.
Li Xiang lowered his head like a shy girl.
On the contrary, she felt that he was inexplicably more cute at this moment.
So the happiness radiating from her smiling face became even stronger.
So some people couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Li Xiang.
At the same time, she whispered "Thank you" in his ear.
This is her sincere gratitude to him.
This scene made the old patriarchs on the side look at him with envy.
That's not to mention Li Xi who is in front of the monitoring screen.
Because of the class reunion thing.
Li Xi and her new husband have been having conflicts.
On the surface, Li Xi seems to be married.
In fact, she is no different from her who has never been married.
Even though the old patriarch saw the problem with Li Xi's marriage.
But due to the cooperative relationship between the family and Li Xi's husband.
The old patriarch could only turn a blind eye.
Li Xi was furious and accused her think tank:
"Hey, didn't you say that after Li Xiang saw Qi Diaozhe and Zhang Ling hugging each other in a hotel room, Li Xiang would definitely have a grudge against Zhang Ling?"
The think tank stared at the monitoring screen with a puzzled expression and said "hmm" twice.
Li Xi excitedly reached out and poked at the monitoring screen and said:
"Look, look, show it to me yourself. Does Li Xiang's happy smile look like someone with a grudge?"
Look at Li Xi's angry and excited expression.
It felt like she could poke a big hole in the surveillance screen by accident.
Thus, she expressed her anger heartily to Zhang Ling.
Li Xi's think tank looked at the surveillance screen in silence.
Because he clearly understands the function of his design.
There is no hope that it will have any drastic impact on Zhang Ling and Li Xiang right away.
It's just that he must not be able to explain his reasoning clearly to this idiot Li Xi now.
Instead of explaining it clearly, it is better to explain it forcefully.
It's better to quietly let time explain it to him.
However, he still underestimated Li Xi's unreasonable fighting power.
Because of the pampering of the old patriarch.
Li Xi has long been accustomed to others having to do things according to her wishes.
On the surface, it seems that he and Li Xi only have what he considers to be a cooperative relationship.
Little did he know that in Li Xi's eyes, he was no different from the obedient servants at home.
So he finally opened his mouth to explain under pressure from Li Xi:
"The grudge is there. It's just not obvious now."
"Where? Where? Stop fooling me here. Why can't I see it?"
"Look at Li Xiang's facial expression when he was hugged by Zhang Ling. Look carefully. Does he no longer feel the same excitement as before?"
Li Xi heard the wise man's explanation to her.
She observed Li Xiang as calmly as possible for a while, but she didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
I'm afraid she has become addicted to pretending to be calm and wise recently.
In my heart, I was really worried that the wise man would dislike her stupidity behind her back.
So he pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said with a surprised smile:
"Don't say it yet! The proactive hug directed at Zhang Ling seems to be exactly what you said. You can see a hint of resistance on Li Xiang's face."
Is Li Xiang really resisting Zhang Ling's embrace of him?
No!
Just hugging like this in front of the old patriarch.
Li Xiang couldn't continue to observe the old patriarch's facial expressions.
The old patriarch is cunning and changeable.
He felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.
Don't worry, the old patriarch may have changed his mind and attitude towards them.
It was precisely because of this uneasy expression that appeared on his face.
Only then was Li Xi's think tank successfully captured and used it as an excuse.
Otherwise, Li Xi’s brain trust is really bad for a while, how can he evade it?
a while.
Li Xiang felt that he could not stay cold to the old patriarch for too long.
Just when he was about to ask Zhang Ling to let him go.
At this time, the old patriarch was obviously a little impatient and said:
"That Zhang Ling! I think you're almost done. Do you think we should talk about planning the wedding next, or should we talk about liquidated damages?"
The old patriarch is indeed a thousand-year-old fox.
On the surface, it seemed polite to let Zhang Ling make a choice.
But in fact, Zhang Ling was not given a chance to escape from his control.
Zhang Ling then reluctantly let go of Li Xiang.
Looking at the old patriarch, he took Li Xiang by the hand and returned to the dinner table together.
The old patriarch saw Zhang Ling coming back.
The old face was filled with a satisfied smile.
I thought that now Zhang Ling would be able to act according to his wishes.
Never thought about it.
Zhang Ling did not respond immediately to his words.
Instead, Li looked to the side with an affectionate look and wanted to say:
"What do you think I should do? Zhang Ling will listen to you!"
She deliberately transferred the choice of the issue to Li Xiang.
On the one hand, it reflects her strong trust in Li Xiang.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the other hand, she does have some words that are difficult to say.
For example, propose!
Yan Yuan often instilled in her the idea that a woman must wait for a man to propose to her.
Otherwise, a woman will definitely not have absolute family status after marriage.
Yan Yuan specifically used the word "absolute" to emphasize family status.
Zhang Ling is a little confused!
Hasn’t today’s society always advocated equality between men and women?
If we really follow Yan Yuan’s thoughts.
The absolute family status of women after marriage is specially emphasized.
Can this be considered true equality between men and women?
No!
It definitely doesn't count.
Because Yan Yuan emphasized the absolute family status of women.
This sentence itself reveals women's lack of confidence.
And women don’t even think about fulfilling the principle of equality between men and women.
Rather, they are subconsciously thinking about how to squeeze a man’s family status after marriage?
Think like this.
How is this different from the ancient feudal dynasty’s practice of men squeezing women’s family status?
Two people who truly love each other.
There is never any rush to get involved with each other because of personal selfish desires.
But for their little family to be happy forever.
Let each other become better versions of ourselves and keep working hard.
That's because humans are never-ending on their journey to improve themselves.
The old patriarch looked at Li Xiang and said in surprise:
"You let Li Xiang decide?"
The old patriarch had to admit Zhang Ling's shrewdness.
No matter what Li Xiang decides, this matter is an internal conflict within the Li family.
Zhang Ling easily shifted the focus of the conflict to his side.
At the same time, Li Xiang formed a united front with her.
This basically shattered his original plan to make Zhang Ling isolated and helpless.
Li Xiang seemed to have anticipated Zhang Ling's behavior.
He nodded happily and agreed.
Then he turned to look at the old patriarch and said seriously:
"Grandpa Patriarch, first of all, we both completely agree with what you just said."
After hearing this, the old patriarch had a satisfied smile on his face.
Then, continue to look at Li with expectant eyes. What does he want to say next?
"Secondly, I can't deny that the two of us really didn't seem to be impatient when it came to holding the wedding."
In fact, Li Xiang doesn't want to marry Zhang Ling as a substitute.
Zhang Ling heard this.
She thought that Li Xiang agreed to hold the wedding in time.
Maybe she herself also desires it very much in her heart.
So in my mind, I began to imagine the scene where Li wanted to propose to her.
