I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 347

“Mr. Li, Li Cenbei has asked L Company from C Country to invest in the Li Group. Take a look at this.”

“Just as I’d expected!” Li Heng glanced at Zhou Zheng and asked, “What does Fu Chengyan think?”

“Mr. Fu wants me to stick with you for the time being.”

Li Heng smiled darkly. “You don’t have to do that; I barely have anything for you to as it is!” Waving his hand dismissively, he handed the documents to Zhou Zheng and told him to pass them to Fu Chengyan. “Liang Lin is at Sheen City right now. If you have the time, drop by and help him.”

“What about the Li Group?”

“In less than a week, I guarantee you that Li Group will experience a reform like never before. I’ll handle it!”

“I’ll take my leave then, Mr. Li.”

Zhou Zheng had visited Li Heng on his master’s orders. Since Li Heng didn’t require his help, Zhou Zheng had no choice but to return to Fu Chengyan. When he heard what Li Heng had said, Fu Chengyan’s eyes narrowed in displeasure. “Did he really say that?”

“Yes, those were Mr. Li’s words exactly. He said that Li Group will experience a reform like never before in less than a week. Is he planning to abandon the Li family once and for all?”

After all, Li Heng belonged to the Li clan. Zhou Zheng thought that Li Heng would show some sympathy towards his blood relatives despite the family’s internal conflict. To his surprise, however, Li Heng had shown no remorse about destroying the Li Group.

On the other hand, Fu Chengyan broke into a slight smile.

“Alright, understood. You may leave now.”

After Zhou Zheng left, Fu Chengyan sat in his office for a long while, thinking in silence. Immediately, he gave his contact in C Country a call. After confirming that L Company had indeed decided to invest in the Li Group, he broke into a relieved smile.

He had underestimated Li Heng’s abilities—that rascal had a backup plan! They had cast the net, and now all they could do was wait for the fishes to swim into the trap. Fu Chengyan got up and walked out of the study room. At that moment, Shi Nuan came out of Pei Huan’s room. He waved her over. “Come here!”

Shi Nuan walked over to him immediately. “What’s up?”

“Is Bao asleep?”

Shi Nuan nodded. “I just managed to get him to sleep. Huan is staying at the hospital tonight, and she won’t be back until tomorrow. I think I’ll keep Bao company in his room tonight.”

Fu Chengyan’s eyes narrowed dangerously as a look of displeasure flashed across his face. Hastily, Shi Nuan tried to reassure him. “I’m just worried about Bao! He’s infected with the virus, but unlike Huan, he’s still a child. If anything happens to him at night, at least I’ll be able to attend to him immediately.”

Regardless of her explanation, Fu Chengyan continued to frown. “Maybe I should give Li Heng a call and have him take the boy away!”

Shi Nuan felt a little exasperated. “You’re being so unreasonable! Why would you get jealous of a kid? Besides, Bao is your nephew!”

“I don’t care that he’s my nephew! As long as it’s a male, I won’t allow you to sleep next to them!” As he spoke, Fu Chengyan enveloped her in an embrace. “You’re mine.”

“Behave yourself!” Shi Nuan’s face turned red with embarrassment. Patting Fu Chengyan lightly, she said, “Alright, Aunt Ning will be undergoing her surgery very soon. After the surgery, Bao will return to live at the Fu family home for a while. Aunt Ning and Uncle Heng adore him to death.”

Fu Chengyan sighed wistfully. “When can we have a child of our own?”

Shi Nuan looked up at him. Meeting Fu Chengyan’s gaze, she smiled mischievously and said, “Do you like children?”

Fu Chengyan leaned down and planted a kiss on her lips. “Of course! As long as you’re the one who gives birth to it.”

“Really?” Shi Nuan’s lips curved into a smile. “Well, as far as kids are concerned, we have to let nature take its own course. However…” Shi Nuan leaned against Fu Chengyan and tiptoed to pressed a kiss to his chin. “We’ll have to put in some effort ourselves too.”

Fu Chengyan grinned at her joyfully. Sweeping her up into his arms, he exclaimed, “Come on! Time for us to put in some effort.”

…

Over the next few days, the Li Group underwent a rollercoaster-like series of events. There was much speculation, but nobody knew for sure what was going on in the secretive depths of its meeting rooms. The next thing everyone knew, Li Heng had made so many changes to the company that it was barely recognizable as the Li Group.

On the other hand, something had gone wrong with Li Cenbei’s plan—L Company suddenly went back on their agreement and canceled their investment plans for the Li Group. Immediately after that, they agreed to channel their funds into Li Heng’s company instead. Li Cenbei wasn’t the only one who was caught unaware by this unexpected turn of events—his father hadn’t seen it coming either.

Following that, the Li Group was quickly acquired by Li Heng’s company. No one knew how the man had managed to do it.

Li Cenbei vanished that day, throwing the entire Li clan into chaos. The next morning, Li Xinzhi received a manila envelope that contained an important secret of the Li family. Upon opening the envelope, he found a piece of paper documenting events that had happened thirty years ago—namely the truth behind his eldest son, Li Cendong’s mysterious death.

After he read the document, Li Xinzhi came down with pneumonia and had to be hospitalized. It seemed to be the end of the Li clan.
