Chapter 147: Lesson Enough

Chapter 147

Li Yanran angrily pointed at Li Zhen and yelled, "Dad, why! You didn't even give me any shares when I got engaged!"

Li Zhen calmly reminded, "Dad, let's sign the agreement first. It's getting late, I still have to go home for dinner."

From suspecting pregnancy at home, to confirming it at the hospital, to coming to the Li family, Li Zhen hurried as fast as she could without wasting a single second.

Now that they had reached the final step of signing the agreement, Li Zhen was even more nervous.

Li Yinnan naturally assumed Li Zhen's "home" to be Jinluyuan community, "Alright, it is getting late, let's go upstairs."

"Dad!" Li Yanran shouted twice.

But Li Yinnan completely ignored her.

Li Yanran panicked.

How could this be? She hadn't obtained any shares from the Li family yet Li Zhen was about to!

Zhang Xiya sat smugly on the sofa, shooting a fleeting glance at Li Yanran. In her heart she ridiculed, this woman is acting like a lunatic.

Zhang Xiya received a message on her phone, it was from Qiao Yi, [President Lu is asking where you guys are, you've been gone for so long and it's almost dark.]

Zhang Xiya looked upstairs, she didn't know how much longer Li Zhen would be busy up there.

Zhang Xiya: [I got lost driving, we'll be a little late...]

Qiao Yi: [Send your location, President Lu said he'll come pick you up.]

Zhang Xiya: [No need, no need, we'll be there soon!]

Li Yanran glared at Zhang Xiya playing on her phone on the sofa. She went out to the balcony to get away from her and made a call, "Mom, Dad wants to give Li Zhen shares! Dad wants to give that bitch shares!"

On the other end of the phone, Lin Zhiyin fiddled with her Buddhist prayer beads, "Yanran don't panic, speak slowly."

Li Yanran anxiously and angrily recounted what had just happened.

"Yanran, your father's only connection with her could be because of one person." Lin Zhiyin was silent for two seconds before speaking again. Her dignified voice was completely flat as she gently said, "But she came alone today, something seems off."

Li Yanran instantly understood. That's right!

Her father's recent intimacy towards Li Zhen could only be for one reason, it could only be because of Yu Sheng.

But Li Zhen and Yu Sheng recently divorced and were having a spat.

Maybe Li Zhen was hiding something from Yu Sheng!

Li Yanran was extremely excited by this possibility. She hurriedly called Yu Sheng.

"Ding dong..."

Yu Yang impatiently rang the ironwork gate bell beside the garden.

Wu Ma hurried out from the villa and opened the door, anxiously saying, "Young Master Yu..."

He scrolled down and realized it had been a long time since he contacted Li Zhen.

Finding Li Zhen's number, he called it.

Huayang Famous Residence.

As dusk fell, the rippling river water outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was dyed a brilliant golden hue.

Lu Yanming had prepared a table full of dishes and was currently sitting on the sofa watching TV with Qiao Yi and Meng Yuanjie.

The atmosphere was not very harmonious.

Qiao Yi and Meng Yuanjie exchanged a look.

Li Zhen didn't bring her phone and Zhang Xiya seemed to be intentionally delaying her return with vague messages.

From Qiao Yi and Meng Yuanjie's perspective, perhaps the two just saw something fun on the way back which was why they were late. After all, they were both adults, there was no need to keep asking about it. Plus, it wasn't even completely dark out yet, it wasn't that big of a deal.

But President Lu seemed especially worried and had already asked them to inquire with Zhang Xiya several times.

Lu Yanming drank a glass of water, his throat moving slightly as he glanced at Qiao Yi's phone again.

Qiao Yi instantly understood. She quickly said, "President Lu, Xiya said the car needed gas again and it might be a little while longer..."

Before Qiao Yi could finish speaking, the phone Li Zhen had forgotten to take on the coffee table suddenly lit up with an incoming call from an unsaved number.

Qiao Yi was closest to the phone so she declined the call.

The number immediately called back right away.

Usually, it was fine for Qiao Yi and the others to casually help answer Li Zhen's phone if she was occupied. Worried it might be an emergency, Qiao Yi picked up and put it on speaker.

A hoarse voice sounded from the other end, "Li Zhen..."

This voice was like thunder.

It exploded in the previously quiet living room.

Meng Yuanjie's gaze instantly shifted to Lu Yanming.

Qiao Yi's whole body tensed up, and she reached to hang up in the next second.

But before her hand even made it halfway, Lu Yanming's long, straight fingers had already grabbed the phone.

In the phone, a voice very familiar to everyone spoke again, slightly hoarse but with a deep, mellow texture.

"Li Zhen, these past couple of days, I've figured out a lot."

"From now on, I won't work anymore. I'll just stay home with you. My venture capital investments make a few billion in dividends each year for now, but that's enough for us to get by."

"If you want to enter the entertainment industry, I'll find you resources. If you want to be a housewife, I'll go grocery shopping and cook with you."

"The lesson you taught me this time is already enough. You know I learn quickly..."

The person on the other end paused for two seconds, his voice slightly hoarse. "Li Zhen, we should remarry."
