The villa was filled with warmth.
Outside the villa, however, it was about to be turned upside down by a bombshell.
Old Master Li was indeed a man of action. From his youth to now in his old age, his decisiveness had never changed.
From the mont he received Chi Enen’s text ssage, he had already instructed soone to start preparing a press release. He also had the old butler help arrange a video press conference for him.
Although still in rehabilitation, Old Master Li was not wearing a loose hospital gown. Before attending the press conference, he changed into a suit coat.
If it weren’t for those who knew him being aware that he had indeed been hospitalized, outsiders would never be able to tell that the hale and hearty old man before them had been in a critical condition ward just a month ago.
The old butler pushed the door open and ca in. Seeing that he was ready, he lowered his head and respectfully said, "Master Jue, the journalists are outside waiting for you. You can go out anyti."
"Mm."
Old Master Li stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, scrutinizing his appearance with a critical eye. Once assured of his impeccable look, he picked up the dragon head crutch beside him and, exuding an air of authority, walked ahead of the old butler.
Before stepping out the door, he seed to be asking the old butler, but it was also like he was asking himself, softly saying, "This is the first ti I’ve made a decision based on my feelings. Hope it’s not the wrong decision. What do you think?"
The old butler was right beside him and, despite his quiet voice, heard him. He imdiately replied with a smile, "I believe you have made an incredibly correct decision."
Indeed, maybe he had made the right decision.
But back then, when he was young, he didn’t have the chance to make such a decision. Nor was there an elder to make such a decision for him.
So this ti, he hoped the decision he made was truly correct.
With a sharp aura and steady steps, Old Master Li headed towards the mansion’s own conference room—
*
In a quiet mansion in Country W.
The doorbell rang again.
Li Qiyun, dressed in a suit, impatiently opened the door.
Sure enough, standing outside was an equally impatient Mrs. Gui, who started accusing her before even entering, "What were you doing inside? Why did it take you so long to open the door?"
As she walked inside, she turned her head to appraise Li Qiyun’s attire from head to toe and expressed her dissatisfaction, "You’re going out again? What for?"
"I have work later." Li Qiyun was extrely impatient. Those familiar with her within the Li family knew that she disliked being interrupted with trivial matters during work.
If it were anyone else, she would have been rude by now, but the person in front of her wasn’t just anyone; it was that man’s mother.
When Madam Oslo heard her ntion work, and seeing her attitude, she beca even more displeased and bluntly said, "Our family doesn’t lack people making money, nor do we lack a bit of money. Since you’re going to marry my son, you must abide by our family rules. After marriage, quit your work and it’s your duty to stay at ho and take care of the family!"
Li Qiyun’s temple throbbed, and she refused without thinking, "Impossible! I won’t give up my career for marriage."
She was not the kind of woman to just cling to a man; she had many things to accomplish.
"Career?" Madam Oslo sneered condescendingly at her, saying, "Do you think you’re still the heiress of the wealthy family? What career do you have? Just that lousy company; how much can it earn in a year? Go ahead, na a figure. I’ll convert it to cash for you every year. It’s best for you to stay ho obediently and not cause any embarrassing troubles, which would be better than anything!"
