Chapter 12: Attitude

“I’m talking about serious business here! What’s with your attitude?” she yelled, grabbing a pillow and throwing it at him.

Li Chen was caught off guard and got hit twice before he could react. He took the pillow and looked at his wife, who was sitting beside him.

“Alright, alright. We’ll just treat Miaomiao better. No matter the reason, Miaomiao marrying Jingcheng is a loss for him. Look at his current situation. So many rich girls were chasing him before, but now they avoid him like the plague, worried that we’ll cling to them. It doesn’t matter why Miaomiao agreed, we’ll do our best to satisfy her.”

“Miaomiao is a simple-minded girl, perfect for Jingcheng now. She’s also beautiful, even if Jingcheng wakes up, he wouldn’t be able to refuse. We don’t have to worry about him regretting the marriage if he wakes up. It would be best if he could wake up.” Li Chen hugged his wife, trying to comfort her.

Right now, they could only hope that Xiao Miaomiao could truly give Li Jingcheng a son or daughter. That way, they wouldn’t have to worry about what would happen if Jingcheng never woke up after they passed away.

At least it would give Li Jingcheng and Xiao Miaomiao someone to rely on. The child they raised themselves, they wouldn’t be ungrateful.

Ouyang Xuan thought the same.

“Tomorrow, I’ll ask the chef to make more dishes that Miaomiao likes, and some chicken soup. She needs to nourish herself. I really hope, like Mom said, that Miaomiao will be our family’s lucky charm, and give us a son or daughter. It would be even better if Jingcheng wakes up.” Ouyang Xuan said earnestly.

“Don’t force it. It’s all about fate. Since Miaomiao married Jingcheng, she’s one of us. Even if she doesn’t have children, we’ll treat her well. Later, we’ll sell the company and leave all the money to her. She’ll take good care of Jingcheng.”

“Of course I know that. I just want to think positively. Miaomiao is a good girl. Even if you didn’t say anything, I would treat her well.” Ouyang Xuan always judged people based on their appearance. She couldn’t help but like Xiao Miaomiao, especially her outstanding beauty and clear, bright eyes.

“It’s getting late. Let’s go to bed.” Li Chen put away his book and looked at his wife.

“Okay. Tomorrow I’ll take Miaomiao to buy clothes. She needs a lot of new things.” Ouyang Xuan leaned against him.

“You’re already thinking about how to treat her well?” Li Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

“Didn’t you say it yourself? From now on, Miaomiao is family. Besides, I always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately, I only had Jingcheng. Now that I have Miaomiao, she’s exactly the daughter I imagined.” Ouyang Xuan’s eyes were filled with tenderness.

“It’s good that you think so. Tomorrow, go shopping and buy whatever you like. If you see something you like, buy it. Don’t hold back.” Li Chen nodded.

“You’re not worried about me being a spendthrift? I’m going shopping with my daughter-in-law.” Ouyang Xuan teased him.

Li Chen kissed her forehead. “What are you talking about? I make money for you to spend. The more you buy, the more motivated I am to make money.”

“Okay.” Ouyang Xuan felt guilty. “If it weren’t for my health, I wouldn’t have only given birth to Jingcheng. Now I’m making you go back to work. You must be very tired.”

“I’m not tired. I’m used to it. Don’t worry about me. I’ll take care of myself.” Li Chen comforted her. “Besides, the people Jingcheng brought in are all good. I’ve arranged for them to handle most things. I only get involved if I absolutely have to. You haven’t seen how little I’ve been traveling.”

“Speaking of which, we should thank our decisive son. If he hadn’t decisively gotten rid of those old foxes who were trying to cause trouble, I wouldn’t be so relaxed now.” Li Chen was still a little hesitant about those veterans who had helped his father build the Li Group.

If they were truly dedicated to the Li Group’s development, it would be fine. But they had been in their positions for too long and developed other ambitions. They even tried to use illegal means to buy and sell their shares, and abused their positions for personal gain. Li Chen had thought that as long as they didn’t go too far, he would turn a blind eye.

But Li Jingcheng wasn’t as gentle as him. He handed the company over to Jingcheng, and within half a year, Jingcheng forced them to resign and hand over their positions. Their children inherited their shares, but they were also controlled by Jingcheng. They didn’t dare to cause trouble. Their abilities weren’t outstanding, but they were competent.

Overall, the Li Group was now in good hands, with him and the people Jingcheng brought in. He was very relaxed.

After all, “if you doubt someone, don’t use them; if you use someone, don’t doubt them.”

“You used to scold Jingcheng for being too decisive and ruthless.” Ouyang Xuan couldn’t help but tease him.

“I was just putting on a show for everyone. I didn’t really mean to scold him. Besides, would he even listen to me? I don’t know who he takes after, but he has a stubborn personality.” Li Chen sighed helplessly.

“Yeah, otherwise, he wouldn’t be thirty years old and still unmarried and childless.” Ouyang Xuan was both proud and helpless about her son’s excellence.

“Let’s not think about it anymore. Now that Miaomiao is by his side, we don’t have to worry about who will take care of Jingcheng after we’re gone.” Li Chen’s only thought was to work hard and earn more money for Xiao Miaomiao and Jingcheng. At least they wouldn’t have to worry about money in the future. It would be even better if they had a grandson.

If he worked for another twenty years, he could hand the company down to his grandson. That would truly be worry-free. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to hand the company over to someone else. He would be reluctant, but he would have to let it go. As for letting Xiao Miaomiao take over the company, he wouldn’t even consider it.

It was obvious that Xiao Miaomiao wouldn’t want to take over either, otherwise, she wouldn’t be thinking about marrying his vegetative son and relying on having a child to live a comfortable life.

Xiao Miaomiao was clearly a pampered rich girl. It was best to let her live a carefree life. As for her cousin, Jiang Chen, he was a good candidate. If Jingcheng didn’t wake up and they didn’t have children, he could hand the Li Group over to Jiang Chen.

Li Chen was lost in thought. When he looked at his wife, she was already asleep.

Li Chen chuckled. He would make sure everything was arranged well, so that everyone in the Li family would be happy. He carefully covered Ouyang Xuan with the blanket and fell asleep.

Xiao Miaomiao had always had a regular sleep schedule. After a year of recuperating, her sleep schedule was more accurate than an alarm clock. She woke up on time.

Xiao Miaomiao opened her eyes and looked at Li Jingcheng beside her. She was stunned by his handsome face.

“Even if I married you just for this face, I wouldn’t be at a loss. Our baby will definitely be beautiful.” Xiao Miaomiao couldn’t help but say.
