Chapter 492: Chapter 409: The Plan is Set
Li Guofu put down the teacup and sighed, "Meihua! What you said is true! But every time I think of that Tian woman back then, how she played us, I just want to kill her! She was clearly Li Si’s aunt, yet she pretended to be someone else coming to buy bone marrow from us! If we had known about their blood relations, would our family have acted like that?
If it weren’t for that issue, Li Si wouldn’t have become estranged from us. You know how that child was since she was little!
And later, when Dachuan and I went to Beijing, because of her, Li Si ended up in a detention center. How do you think I lived those days?
So knowing that Li Si is getting married and having a wedding, as her uncle, how could I not want to attend? But what face do I have to show? If I run into that woman named Tian at the scene, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself!"
Ever since he learned from Zhang Meihua that the Tian woman was from Li Si’s grandmother’s family, the anger in his heart had not subsided.
Recalling those past events, he only felt shame and regret.
Not knowing the other’s identity in time and feeling unreconciled with holding a resentment!
If he had known earlier that it was like this, would he have bowed and scraped for that mere two hundred thousand, gotten beaten and then retaliated, and finally ended up in the police station?
Before that, he should have made the Tian Family suffer, if not die, at least shed a layer of skin!
Moreover, now that his relationship with Mr. Han Sr. is all exposed, deep down he feels a little afraid to face everyone, fearing being peeled apart in public.
"How about this! Fei’er and I will go, and then I’ll ask the old lady and Guozhi whether they’ll go or not. As for you and Dachuan, it’s better if you don’t go for now! Anyway, as long as our relationship eases, flying to Beijing isn’t too far, and there will be other opportunities to go in the future!" Zhang Meihua’s eyes rolled as she came up with a strategy.
She and Fei’er definitely needed to go; such a grand event, how many times can one witness it in a lifetime?
As for whether the old lady goes or not, she has her own plans. What does Little Li Si not have with her condition that she’d lack a meal from the old lady?
If she takes her there this time, she might as well let her retire there! It’s not that she’s short of money to support the old lady; it’s just that whether it’s a festival or New Year’s now, they all have to lean on Mr. Han Sr.’s side.
Li Guozhi himself is incapable, has no plan, yet always wants them to fulfill filial duties to the old lady.
Otherwise, would a fight have broken out during New Year? Wasn’t it just about how to spend the old lady’s New Year’s Eve?
Sending away this trouble with the old lady might even let her enjoy some fortune!
And didn’t Li Guozhi lend others fifty thousand? Unfortunately, the person died, and she couldn’t get the money back?
This time, if she goes along, if Li Si gets happy, forget fifty thousand, she could come up with a hundred thousand!
Also, it would stop her from always trying to borrow money from their family!
Li Guofu pondered for a long time and thought that Zhang Meihua’s words made some sense.
"Then why don’t you ask Guozhi and Mom if they’ll go or not? But, Meihua, when you go, you have to watch your words and actions! Especially keep an eye on Fei’er. She’s not a little kid anymore, make sure to say some nice things when you see Li Si, don’t always be so sharp in speech!
Where did all that cleverness go when she was little? Back then, Miss Li Si and she got along so well! Just look at them now! Sigh!"
"Sure! Don’t worry! I’ll talk to Fei’er properly! I’ll call Mom and Guozhi in a while to ask! If we decide to go, we’d better hurry to pick a couple of outfits good enough to wear out!"
"Alright! Buy a couple more pieces for Mom!" Li Guofu instructed.
"Don’t worry! I’ll also buy Mom a pair of nice shoes!" Seeing Zhang Meihua’s quick reply, he felt quite pleased and turned to go to the restroom.
No matter what, his mother is getting old, and though he doesn’t say it, deep down, he really wants to show some filial piety.
But with this situation with Mr. Han Sr., even though part of him complains, part of him still feels grateful. Without this biological father, how could his life have changed so much?
So sometimes, even when he wants to be good to his mom, he feels embarrassed to show it.
Zhang Meihua couldn’t help but curl the corners of her mouth with a smile and pride in her eyes, everything was coming as she had planned!
Now it’s just a matter of seeing how Little Li Si will receive a few of them in Beijing!
There are less than two weeks until the wedding, and most of the pre-work is almost entirely done.
Li Si’s current task is to pamper herself beautifully, going to Simeng for treatment every morning, staying at home with Little Buding when she returns. Occasionally preparing her graduation thesis, and spending evening time as someone’s exclusive, all in all, her days are filled and fulfilling.
Leng Ning’s branch is still under renovation, and recently with her relationship with Jin Yichen encountering no obstacles, a willing and free helping hand has emerged.
Sometimes when Li Si went for a treatment, Leng Ning would tag along, claiming she needed to make herself beautiful too!
Aunt Wang Meishu knew about Leng Ning opening a branch, especially after hearing the main store was Li Si’s, she had some other ideas in mind.
She previously mentioned to Mrs. Leng about wanting to return to China to explore what projects might make money. After a few days back, she found that there are quite a few wealthy people in Beijing!
Especially those rich ladies, who spend their days doing beauty treatments, playing cards, and shopping, so this beauty salon is practically a money machine!
She visited Li Si’s Simeng main store once, accompanying her sister-in-law.
The service and environment were impeccable, and after a full treatment, she felt she had become several years younger. Then she saw those customers, each carrying designer bags and dressed in finery. There was even a woman holding a limited edition of her favorite brand.
She quietly calculated that the products from those beauty salons were all supplied by MC Corp, so what cost could there be?
Then there’s the membership packages with their gold and silver cards, the most expensive ones in the tens of thousands, and even the cheapest ones cost several thousand, and it’s just skin care.
There are also many add-ons, and all those add-ons cost money!
Her upfront investments would only be the store location, the renovation, some equipment, and staff expenses.
The more she thought, the more tempted she became, especially seeing Li Si handing over the branch directly to Leng Ning, she was itching to get involved. Finding an opportunity, she subtly mentioned to Mrs. Leng that she thought the market share in Beijing was pretty huge and expressed her interest in Li Si and Leng Ning’s beauty salon.
Mrs. Leng didn’t pay her any heed; how could an aunt compare with their sister-in-law’s relationship?
Besides, frankly speaking, if it’s done by her family, the money still eventually goes to her own family.
MC Corp supplies, it’s free for Li Si, and how could she charge more for her own sister?
Even if it’s not a free supply, the lowest discounts on factory prices are enough to calculate quite a sum, aren’t they?
Though the sister-in-law wants to do some business, she should support it, not just because she has to maintain her brother’s goodwill.
However, the Simeng business is not viable! Even if she’s foolish enough to suggest it, MC Corp and his wife might not be willing.
She wouldn’t do such a thankless task. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you’re welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote on recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
