Yan Luoxi leaned her head against Zhou Guangtao's chest, sighed softly, closed her eyes, and listened to his familiar strong heartbeat. It felt so reassuring and comfortable.
No matter how much hardship she had endured or how uncertain and hesitant she had become, she still preferred to be in his arms, devoted to him.
Luo Haonan did not stop his wife's eavesdropping but instead made good use of it. Seeing that the time was right, he whispered to Gu Xiaobei who was still listening intently, "How did they talk Does Guangtao care about this matter"
"Mm-hmm, pretty good! It seems like they've reconciled!" Gu Xiaobei nodded happily. If Zhou Guangtao refused to accept Luoxi, her son's misdeeds would be even worse.
"Good that it’s over." Luo Haonan also heaved a sigh of relief and raised his hand to check his watch. "Let’s go out and talk to them."
"Okay," Gu Xiaobei nodded obediently. In matters she couldn’t handle, she listened particularly closely to her husband's advice.
Before opening the door, Luo Haonan deliberately made some noise outside to give the two kids there a heads-up and avoid any awkwardness.
Hearing sounds from the suite door, Zhou Guangtao quickly let go of Yan Luoxi in his arms. Luoxi also hurriedly adjusted her clothes. Seeing Luo Haonan and Gu Xiaobei walking out, they both courteously stepped forward to greet them. As a representative, Zhou Guangtao sincerely thanked Luo Haonan and his wife.
Luo Haonan waved his hand and led Gu Xiaobei to sit on the main sofa. With a solemn expression, he said, "There's no need for you to thank us; this matter originated from Li An’s actions. We should be apologizing to you."
"Uncle Li and Aunt Li, you have been supporting me financially to go to school for all these years and provided a good educational environment for me. Without your help, I wouldn't be where I am today. Your kindness towards me is something I will never forget.
Li An has grown up now; he can take responsibility for his actions himself. What he does has nothing to do with you two. You don't need to feel guilty about this matter.
I want to thank you both for what happened with Luo Xi, for helping me bring her back from Li An and for your upright words and unbiased actions."
When Zhou Guangtao said these words, his clear eyes were filled with deep respect and sincere gratitude.
Lǐ Hào Nán felt a bit uncomfortable under Zhou Guangtao's praise. He waved a hand to indicate that Yán Luòxī and Zhou Guangtao should sit down on the sofa next to him.
Zhou Guangtao was always skilled at reading situations, immediately realizing that Lǐ Hào Nán had something to say to him. Quickly shutting his mouth, he pulled Yán Luòxī's hand and sat down on the sofa.
Lǐ Hào Nán was pleased with his behavior; he liked this understanding and obedient young man very much, unlike his own two children, who were either cold-hearted despite a warm face or slick and cunning.
"Guangtao, you should know what kind of child Li An is. Since childhood, I haven't spared the rod on him either, but he's just naturally incorrigible. This time too, after giving him a beating, it seems that his stubborn nature will not be changed by such measures.
Li An has always had everything go smoothly for him in life; there are few things in this world that he can't get. Now that we've brought Luo Xi out today, I fear he won’t take it well and might cause you two trouble later."
Hearing Lǐ Hào Nán say this, Yán Luòxī couldn't help but feel nervous again, as if Li An’s malevolent shadow had returned to haunt them.
Liu Haonan's point, Zhou Guangtao firmly believed in, as he had personally experienced Lü An's persistent harassment.
He vaguely understood Liu Haonan's intentions and cleverly followed his lead, saying, "Uncle Liu, I will not confront Lü An directly. This would be disadvantageous for everyone involved. I want to resign from my current job and take Luoxi far away somewhere. If Lü An can't find us, he'll eventually forget about it."
Liu Haonan gave Zhou Guangtao an approving look and asked intently, "From what I know, the company you work for is a major international corporation where you've been performing exceptionally well recently. You just got promoted, which is a rare opportunity in anyone's life. Wouldn't it be a pity to give this up"
Zhou Guangtao turned his head and smiled tenderly at Yan Luoxi, "No, as long as I can be with Luoxi, giving anything else up doesn’t feel like a loss."
Yan Luoxi blushed, feeling shy and sweet.
Liu Haonan's approving expression deepened, "Hmm, good child. Since you're going to give up your current job, I'll tell you about my thoughts on the matter."
"I'm all ears," Zhou Guangtao feigned great interest.
"I plan to provide you and Luoxi with some capital so that you can invest in another region and start a business independently. This will allow you to completely擺脫Lü An的糾纏,以你們的聰明才智,我相信一定能夠成功。”厲昊南低沉的聲音充滿信任。
“不用的,厲伯伯,我們怎麼能要您的錢呢……”
“厲伯伯,您不用給我們拿錢的……”
將上述最後一段中的中文部分翻譯成英文:
"We can't accept your money, Uncle Liu... "
"Uncle Liu, you don’t need to give us any money..."
Zhou Guangtao and Yan Luoxi both hurriedly declined.
"Uncle Li's suggestion is very good. You shouldn't refuse," Gu Xiao Bei didn't expect her husband to think so thoroughly, her beautiful eyes sparkling like stars as she clapped her hands in praise like a child.
Zhou Guangtao held Yan Luoxi's hand and said with great vitality: "Uncle Li, Aunt Li, we appreciate your kindness, but we really don't need your money. We have our own hands and feet, and we're still young. We can work and start from scratch..."
Lǐ Huònán smiled and interrupted Zhou Guangtao's firm refusal. Such a proposal might make others cry tears of joy, but Zhou Guangtao and Yan Luoxi furrowed their brows as if facing great troubles.
Thus, Lǐ Huònán liked these two kids even more.
"You two don't need to be so formal. Let me explain the pros and cons." At this moment, Li Haonan smiled slightly; his smile reached a level of excellence that only top business leaders could achieve, making people feel as if they were being controlled and imposing an invisible authority that made their minds involuntarily follow his lead.
Zhou Guangtao and Yan Luoxi fell silent, listening intently to Li Haonan's words.
"Although Lǐ n is now an adult, he is still my child. If he has done something wrong, I have the responsibility as a father to take charge of it. In this case, what he did indeed caused harm to you, making you give up your familiar environment and established career, leaving home.
Leaving here means everything will start anew. The money I bring now is not an unconditional gift but an investment. You can use the money to start a business, and I'll be your major shareholder from behind the scenes. When you earn money in the future, I will share more than my fair share."
Zhou Guangtao and Yan Luoxi knew that Li Haonan was merely using grandiose words on the surface to describe their assistance as an investment; in reality, he wanted to help them indirectly. Lǐ Huònán was incredibly wealthy, so how could he care about a little money they might earnntment, hatred, and finally turned into indifference and forgetfulness.Fourteen years have passed like an arrow, and she had grown accustomed to the void left by her mother's absence.She had forgotten...
