I Want A Lifetime With You 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 nced 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 nning to abandon the Li family once and for all?”


    After all, Li Heng belonged to the Li n. Zhou Zheng thought that Li Heng would show some


    sympathy towards his blood rtives 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 n! They had cast the, 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 Baopany in his room tonight.”


    Fu Chengyan’s eyes narrowed dangerously as a look of displeasure shed 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 exnation, 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 nted 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 eximed, “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


    spection, 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 thepany that it was barely


    recognizable as the Li Group.


    On the other hand, something had gone wrong with Li Cenbei’s n—L Company suddenly went back


    on their agreement and canceled their investment ns for the Li Group. Immediately after that, they


    agreed to channel their funds into Li Heng’spany instead. Li Cenbei wasn’t the only one who was


    caught unaware by this unexpected turn of events—his father hadn’t seen iting either.


    Following that, the Li Group was quickly acquired by Li Heng’spany. No one knew how the man


    had managed to do it.


    Li Cenbei vanished that day, throwing the entire Li n into chaos. The next morning, Li Xinzhi


    received a man 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 n.


    Li Xufan promptly came across the document that Li Xinzhi had left lying on the floor of his study room.


    As the former read through it, he felt as though he had been struck by lightning.


    “Li Xufan? What are you doing in here?” Jiang Xinyuan appeared in the doorway, holding her child.


    ncing rapidly between Li Xufan’s furious expression and the piece of paper in his hands, she


    stuttered, “You…”


    “Get out of my way!” Li Xufan pushed her aside and dashed out of the Li Residence. He headed


    straight to the hospital and barged into Li Xinzhi’s hospital room.


    “Great-grandpa? Wait, no. I should be calling you Grandpa instead, right? “Li Xufan balled his hands


    into fists as he gazed bitterly at the shivering old man, who was lying on the bed. Li Xinzhi was


    basically a walking corpse now. His eyes were already cloudy; it was an omen of his impending death.


    Li Xufan shook the document in his hand at Li Xinzhi. Li Xinzhi’s eyes widened as he tried to sit up and


    snatch the piece of paper away from Li Xufan. However, the old man was so frail that he couldn’t move


    at all, much less open his mouth to speak.


    Li Xufan’s eyes were bloodshot. Shaking uncontrobly, he said, “You treated my mother and I so well


    because you felt guilty, didn’t you? You must have known that your youngest son caused the fatal


    ident that killed my maternal grandparents. By tampering with the car, he also caused my mother to


    be widowed at such a young age. That car was supposed to be driving you that day, but my


    grandparents got into the car instead because they were heading to the airport. Is that true?”


    Li Xinzhi grunted as though he wanted to speak, but his words werepletely unintelligible. “You


    knew perfectly well that Li Cenbei caused the deaths of my grandparents, but you pretended that you


    didn’t know! You caused my mother to be an orphan and sent her off to live with Li Cennan. My


    mother always thought that my grandparents’ deaths had something to do with Li Cennan because you


    made him the majority shareholder immediately after the ident!”


    Li Xufan continued, “You knew about Li Cenbei’s grudge against the Li family, so you must’ve known


    that he would never have the family’s best interests at heart. Even so, you let him get close to my


    mother—how cruel can you get? He broke my mother’s heart and left her pregnant with me.” Li Xufan


    flung the piece of paper at Li Xinzhi. “You’ve always been so biased towards Li Cenbei. Isn’t it because


    of that dead mother of his, He Xinyuan?”


    Li Xinzhi’s eyes widened in horror. “You… You…”


    “How did I find out about this when the document mentioned nothing about He Xinyuan?” Li Xufan


    laughed humorlessly. “The person I’ve hated for so many years didn’t turn out to be an enemy after all.


    My dear Grandpa, you weren’t just cruel to us—you nearly ruined my uncle’s life as well!”


    “I…”


    “As for how I found out about this,” Li Xufan continued, “That’s because I received a document in a


    man folder, just like you did. If my mother found out that the man she has loved for so many years is


    her biological uncle, don’t you think she might die from the shock? From the moment you decided to


    protect Li Cenbei all those years ago, everything started going wrong. It was only a matter of time


    before Li Group copsed into itself. Between Li Cenbei and Li Heng, I’d much rather see thepany


    destroyed by Li Heng!”


    “You… You worked with Li Heng?” Li Xinzhi managed to sputter out aplete sentence after much


    difficulty. “You…”


    “Yep. You know what they say—he who understands the times emerges victorious. Li Cenbei might be


    very capable, but he’s nothingpared to someone like Li Heng. Li Cenbei waited for so many days


    to take his revenge, but his ns werepletely foiled the moment Li Heng put his own into action.”


    “But there’s something else you want to know, don’t you? You probably want to know where Li Cenbei


    is now.” Li Xufan approached the bed slowly. “Don’t worry. He won’t leave Jiang City before you die.


    He’ll appear very soon. Just wait a little while more!”


    Li Xufan then turned and left the room. There was only Li Xinzhi in the room now. The older man


    wanted to get up and chase after Li Xufan, but try as he might, he was unable to move an inch.


    The room soon fell silent. Li Xinzhi removed his oxygen mask and tried to get up, but he soon fell


    painfully back onto the bed.


    A long, slender pair of arms appeared before his eyes. The person picked up the oxygen mask and


    swept a disdainful look across Li Xinzhi’s face. “Long time no see, Father!”


    Li Cenbei’s lips curled into a smile. Gazing at the receding figure of Li Xufan as he disappeared down


    the corridor, he dragged a chair over and sat down by Li Xinzhi’s bed. His dark eyes took in the pitiful


    figure of Li Xinzhi, but there was no hint of emotion in them.


    “Are you curious about why I came back after leaving so suddenly?” Li Cenbei took a fruit knife and


    started peeling an apple carefully. “My mother told me that I mustn’t go easy on anyone who has


    wronged her!” Here, he looked pointedly at Li Xinzhi. “What do you think about that?”


    “Ahh—” Li Xinzhi croaked, trying desperately to say something. However, he couldn’t seem to say


    anything at all.


    Li Cenbei smiled again. “Is there something you want to say?”


    “Ahh—”


    “Don’t worry; I’ll wait!” Li Cenbei smiled at the older man as he continued peeling the apple. “Li Xufan


    said so many things to you just now, but there’s something I need to correct. The first person I’m going


    to kill isn’t you. It’ll be Li Cendong.”


    “You…”


    Li Cenbei’s lips curled into a smile. “Aren’t you to me for all of it? My mother and Li Cendong were


    deeply in love back then, but you had to get in between and mess everything up. Li Cendong wound up


    marrying Li Min’s mother instead, and you took the opportunity to lock my mother up while her family’s


    fortunes declined.”


    Li Xinzhi’s eyes widened in shock. “Don’t you want to know how I found out about it all?” Li Cenbei


    handed the perfectly peeled apple to him and gazed coldly at the older man. “You locked my mother up


    in that dark, windowless room while Li Cendong was on honeymoon with his wife. Meanwhile, you…”


    Li Xinzhi’s lips moved wordlessly as he tried in vain to speak.


    “Li Xufan told me that you helped cover up the truth behind my car ident because you adored me.


    He was wrong! You only did so because you felt guilty.” Li Cenbei grinned manically. “You already knew


    very early on that I wanted to get my revenge on you. Wasn’t that why you refused to get in the car that


    day?”


    “You…”


    “Actually, I never wanted to take your life that day. I wanted you to live and see the Li family’s copse


    for yourself.” Li Cenbei’s cold, soulless eyes bore into Li Xinzhi’s terrified ones. “It’s just too bad that I


    underestimated that rascal, Li Heng.”


    “You…”


    “Back then, you did your very best to send him away, but he returned anyway. Did you think that I…


    Who’s that?” Li Cenbei suddenly swung around and looked at the doorway.


    Li Min pushed the door open and stepped into the room, trembling. Her eyes were swimming with


    tears. “Cenbei, you were making that up, right? You aren’t biologically rted to me, you had no part to


    y in my parents’ deaths, and you never used me to hurt Li Heng, right?”
