Chapter 29: Mr. Chi wants to mediate?
Li Siwei was startled by her father's loud voice.
She managed her expression in one second and acted like a good daughter.
"fine……"
"Weiwei's foot was injured by Zhou Chengfeng, and he even wanted to attack her."
This time it was her eldest brother Li Shengan who spoke for her.
Li Siwei: ...
Yes! You all have to stand in the yard and talk about this, right?
Guessing that her father's next wave of attack would be stronger, she slightly turned sideways and hid behind her eldest brother again.
Sure enough, just as he hid his head behind Li Shengan, Li's father's roar echoed throughout the garden.
"What! Zhou Chengfeng?!"
"That little bastard actually dared to attack you?!"
"What does that old man Zhou Mingzhang do for a living? Is this how he teaches his son?!"
Just as he was about to curse again, someone suddenly bumped his arm gently. Turning around, he saw his wife Lu Yueci secretly giving him a look.
Li Mengyang suddenly realized.
Chi Yuheng is still here!
Thinking of the relationship between this gentleman and the Zhou family, he shut up in disappointment, but the look he gave the other party was no longer as kind as before.
"Don't worry about me, Mr. Li. This is all Zhou Chengfeng's fault. Even though I stopped him today, I'll teach him a lesson someday."
Chi Yuheng smiled and said, "Sorry for bothering me today. I also wanted to discuss this matter with Director Li in detail."
"What to talk about?" Li Mengyang frowned slightly, obviously still angry.
Chi Yuheng did not rush to speak, but raised his eyes to look at Li Siwei and gave her a look.
Li Siwei, who was hiding behind Li Shengan and peeking, understood what he meant.
"Should I say it? Or did you say it yourself?"
Li Siwei pursed her lips.
Humph! Fortunately, this person still remembered that she was the person involved in this matter.
"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, actually..."
Li Siwei moved her head out from behind Li Shengan and whispered, "I have already asked Zhou Chengfeng to cancel the engagement and dissolve the engagement with the Zhou family."
"break off an engagement?"
"Cancel the engagement?"
"Ai Ai?"
……
Although the Li family members looked down upon Li Siying's fiancé, Li's father, Li Mengyang, had no choice but to agree because of his late father's promise and his decades-long friendship with the Zhou family.
But seeing that Zhou Chengfeng had graduated from university for several years and was already 26 years old, he was only the head of a subsidiary of Zhou Zheng Group. He did not strive for progress and only knew how to enjoy himself.
Li Mengyang had thought several times about canceling the engagement, but he couldn't find a suitable reason.
At this moment, when he suddenly heard that his baby had taken the initiative to cancel the engagement with the Zhou family, he was overjoyed and felt as if the huge stone that had been weighing on his heart for years was gone, and he felt refreshed.
However, Li Mengyang also knew that although this darling of his had been spoiled by her family, she was very measured in her actions and valued her promises the most. If something had not happened that she could not tolerate, she would never have unilaterally proposed to cancel the engagement without discussing it with her family and after the engagement banquet had already been held.
Apparently his wife thought the same thing.
Lu Yueci grabbed Li Siwei's hand and asked gently, "Shanwei, what happened? Can you tell Mom and Dad?"
I originally wanted to tell my family about this when I got home, but now that we've been chatting in the yard for this long, I don't mind saying a few more words.
Li Siying said directly, "I discovered that Zhou Chengfeng was cheating on me, so I went to the Zhou family with the evidence and information to break off the engagement."
"My foot was injured because Zhou Chengfeng was exposed and became angry and wanted to attack me. Plus, I already had an injury on my foot, so the injury became more serious."
"Did that guy really attack you? Are you injured anywhere else besides your feet?" Lu Yueci's face immediately became nervous when she heard this. She pulled Li Siwei's arms and began to look her up and down.
"No." Li Siwei smiled and shook her head. "Don't worry, except for the foot injury, everything else is fine."
"Just as Zhou Chengfeng was about to make a move, Mr. Chi arrived and smashed Zhou Chengfeng's head with a lighter."
"You didn't see it, the blood flowed out from Zhou Chengfeng's fingers..."
Li Siwei suppressed the smile on her lips and tried not to appear so gloating.
When the Li family heard this, although they were all furious, they roughly understood what was going on.
But at this time, all the attention of Li's father and mother was still on Li Siwei. They were afraid that she had been wronged outside and kept the good news a secret from her family.
Li Shengan was the first to react.
He raised his eyes to look at Chi Yuheng, nodded slightly, and said apologetically: "I misunderstood Mr. Chi before. I'm really sorry!"
"It's just a small matter, it's nothing serious." Chi Yuheng smiled lightly.
"Mr. Chi, you have done something righteous and saved my daughter Yaoyao again. I must toast you two glasses tonight to express my gratitude!" Li Mengyang also came back to his senses.
While he invited Chi Yuheng to go to the main house again, he said to Lu Yueci and Li Shengan:
"I'll go in with Mr. Chi first. You and Yaoyao can take your time. Don't rush. Be careful of her injured foot."
"Don't worry." Lu Yueci smiled gently.
She looked at Chi Yuheng and said, "I hope Mr. Chi will forgive me for my poor hospitality."
"Mrs. Li, you're too polite."
Chi Yuheng also nodded politely.
He knew that the Li family wanted to ask more about the situation, but it was not appropriate to tell him directly.
He then gave Cheng Bai a look, asking him to follow, and the two of them followed Li Mengyang towards the main house...
After the three of them walked a little further away, Li's mother and Li Shengan helped Li Siwei into the wheelchair and asked in a low voice, "Shuiwei, tell me what happened with Zhou Chengfeng cheating on her and getting married?"
Li Siwei naturally understood the purpose of her father's arrangement, so she did not hide it.
She briefly recounted when Zhou Chengfeng and Lin Wanrou were together, when the Zhou family had an engagement with the Li family, how Chi Manning secretly gave money to Lin Wanrou after she found out, and how Lin Wanrou plotted to harm her.
At the same time, Chi Yuheng and Li's father, who had already entered the main house, also sat down in the tea room.
Wash tea, brew tea, pour tea...
It wasn't until Father Li placed the teacup in front of Chi Yuheng that he slowly spoke, "Mr. Chi just said he wanted to talk to me in detail. I wonder what he wanted to discuss?"
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Chi Yuheng praised the tea as "good tea" before saying, "Of course it's the marriage between the Li and Zhou families."
"Mr. Chi, are you trying to mediate?"
Li Mengyang smiled faintly, but there was a hint of alienation in his smile.
"Mr. Chi probably doesn't understand that our Li family has always valued the wishes of our children and would never use the so-called authority of a patriarch to force a child to do something they don't want to do."
Chi Yuheng put down his teacup and said, "I heard that the marriage between the Li and Zhou families was originally arranged by the elders of the two families for their own children, not their grandchildren."
"It was my brother-in-law who begged Director Li, and Director Li finally agreed and personally promised this marriage."
"Isn't this 'parents' orders'?"
Looking up at him, Chi Yuheng's eyes were ambiguous.
Ignoring his gaze, Li Mengyang also picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, his voice a little softer than before.
"Mr. Chi doesn't know this."
"Although I verbally arranged this marriage because of my father's friendship with the late Mr. Zhou, I would never force my children to do anything."
"When your brother-in-law first approached me and wanted to bring up this matter again, I always refused. Later..."
He smiled helplessly, "In the end, it was Yaoyao herself who said she was willing to marry into the Zhou family. After much deliberation, her mother and I finally agreed to the marriage."
