Free Web NovelChapter 667: Chapter 665: Kind Father 44
Li Jingming suddenly woke up, finding himself on the sofa at home. He frowned, recalled his previous encounter, and quickly rolled up his sleeves to find no injuries.
He rubbed his temples. Could it have been just a dream? Yes, it must have been just a dream, otherwise, how could such a bizarre event have occurred?
With that thought, his tense nerves finally relaxed.
Just then, he was startled to find someone else in the living room. Looking around, he saw Li Feiwei sitting on the opposite sofa, looking somewhat languid, quite different from usual, which inexplicably triggered an uncontrollable anger in him.
"What are you doing standing there?" Li Jingming cursed, losing all self-control when faced with this useless person, picking up the teacup from the table and hurling it forcefully in Li Feiwei’s direction.
However, this time, Li Feiwei swiftly dodged.
Li Jingming’s anger surged. He sprang up, raising his hand to punch and kick Li Feiwei, only for Li Feiwei to charge forward, landing a heavy punch on Li Jingming’s face. The two then brawled, filling the living room with thuds, destroying countless furnishings.
A few minutes later, Li Feiwei pinned Li Jingming’s face to the ground, smiling, "Father, you’re old."
Li Jingming, consumed with rage, tried to rise but was pinned tightly by Li Feiwei, unable to move.
"Father, I’ve grown up; I’m no longer the child who couldn’t fight back. Actually, by the time I was thirteen, I was confident I could beat you. Can you guess why I endured your beatings and insults all these years?"
"Do you know those social carnivorous animals living in forests and savannahs? They have a leader, but once that leader grows old, they’re abandoned." Li Feiwei said excitedly, "Father, you’re going to be abandoned. Everything you have will become mine."
"At eighteen, I can take over your possessions more smoothly. Initially, I planned to take it all and then destroy it whenever I wanted, but I’ve changed my mind. Suddenly, I want to live properly."
Li Jingming was stunned, his voice hoarse, "You’ve been pretending to be useless all these years?"
"That’s right. If I hadn’t, how could you be so unguarded against me? If you’d been wary, many things wouldn’t have been possible."
"Father, how could you think your offspring would be a useless thing?" Li Feiwei laughed heartily, his expression slightly manic. "Though I still have a day or two until I’m eighteen, it doesn’t matter. I’ll just say you’re ill, very ill. After all, a dethroned leader is useless, and you probably don’t have many loyal followers. With your way of dealing with things, you’ve made quite a few enemies."
"As for those old guys at the company, knowing you’re incapacitated and left with a useless me, they’ll be happy. Then I can find a chance to eliminate them all."
"I’ve already found a retirement place for you abroad. After all, you like it abroad, and you’ll find more freedom there."
That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about the old man disturbing him and the senior student.
He had said last time that it was the only threat.
Li Jingming realized he never truly understood his son, who had become so terrifying and hid it so well, even managing to deceive him.
"Feiwei, let’s make peace. Everything in the country will belong to you. With my help, it’ll be smoother. I’ll stay abroad from now on." Li Jingming calmed himself and began to negotiate.
Li Feiwei didn’t let go, whispering into Li Jingming’s ear, "Though an old wolf is defeated, its counterattack can be deadly. If you’re not careful, it’ll bite your neck off. Father, stop struggling; you don’t know me, but you should know yourself."
Li Jingming’s expression was grim. Though he knew the odds were slim, hearing such words still filled him with despair, the despair of being outdated, which wasn’t the outcome he wanted.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
"Earlier at the café, was it your people who knocked me out?"
Li Feiwei was puzzled. What was this old man trying to pull? He wouldn’t relax: "Oh, Father, you’re indeed getting old; how could you remember so poorly? Besides me, who else could it have been?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jingming’s eyes widened in shock. So, what happened before the café was real? Ran Chen isn’t ordinary!
After the fear, he laughed aloud, "You care a lot about Ran Chen, don’t you?"
"Let me go abroad, and I’ll tell you a secret about Ran Chen!"
"Father, don’t try any tricks. Although I want to know everything about the senior student, I won’t give you any chance to counterattack. Accept your fate."
Li Jingming was annoyed. His son really had no weaknesses, not even Ran Chen counted as one, given that Ran Chen was formidable. No, no, Li Feiwei certainly didn’t know Ran Chen’s secret; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been in such a rush to the café.
He laughed again. Can this wolf pup really handle Ran Chen’s secret?
If he couldn’t escape, he might as well cause them some trouble.
Given the kid’s attention on Ran Chen, he likely wouldn’t give up on her. His mind found the idea brilliant. As long as Li Feiwei dared push Ran Chen, she’d surely retaliate, leaving him as powerless as before.
Whether disappointment or reprimand from Ran Chen, it would greatly impact this wolf pup.
"Li Feiwei, you don’t understand Ran Chen as a person. Do you really think you can get her? She’s not someone you can control."
Sure enough, these words angered Li Feiwei.
But his words calmly pierced through, "Father, I never thought about controlling the senior student. Being beside her is enough."
"Really?" Li Jingming sneered, "And what if she likes someone else? Can you endure that? Can you stay by her side at ease? What man could tolerate that? She’s just a woman; if you want her, go get her." Go and get trounced by Ran Chen.
Turns out this wolf pup is also a love-struck fool. How ridiculous!
Love-struck fools never accomplish anything. It’s only a matter of time before they crash and burn!
Li Feiwei’s gaze turned cold, "Father, stop your futile resistance."
Even if there was a slight panic in his heart, he wouldn’t fall for the old man’s tricks.
Seeing that there was truly no use, Li Jingming could only shout, "Ran Chen isn’t an ordinary person. If she knew what kind of person you are, she wouldn’t like you! No matter what you do, it’s impossible to achieve your desires if she’s unwilling! Hahaha, it seems you really don’t know anything, meaning you’re unimportant in her heart anyway."
Li Feiwei pursed his lips, very unhappy; those words indeed left a mark in his heart.
He punched Li Jingming a few times, then took him away, and afterward, he sat silently in the living room.
Just then, his phone rang. Glancing at it, the gloom on his face instantly dissipated; the senior student reached out to him again!
He wouldn’t fall for that old guy’s tricks; the motive was to sow discord, hitting him psychologically.
Ah Chen had a feeling Li Feiwei might do something, and instinctively messaged him at almost the right time. It was a picture of a gift box, clearly a birthday present prepared for Li Feiwei.
Ah Chen: Birthday gift!
Li Feiwei was completely enveloped in sweetness, instantly putting Li Jingming and his words behind him.
Eagerly anticipating his birthday, after exchanging a few words, he wandered around the villa, made several phone calls, and began having the house decorated.
