I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 340

Both Fu Chengyan and Li Heng were concerned about Pei Huan. Besides worrying about Pei Huan and Bao’s health, Ning Xin’s condition was also getting worse. The original plan was that Pei Huan would return to the country to carry out the bone marrow transplant, but now Fu Chengyan would have to reconsider as Pei Huan was no longer fit to do the transplant.

At night, Fu Chengyan was still busy explaining things to his subordinate regarding K Nation. Shi Nuan felt for him as he had been working day and night recently.

Fu Chengyan didn’t even have time to finish dinner, so Shi Nuan prepared some noodles for him. She stood outside his study for some time and overheard Fu Chengyan talking on his phone. Frowning, she pushed the door open. Fu Chengyan froze in his tracks upon hearing the sound. “What’s wrong?” He wrapped up his conversation with Zhou Zheng and hung up. Pursing his lips, he inquired, “Did you overhear everything?”

Shi Nuan nodded worriedly. “What happened to Huan and Bao?”

She found out Pei Huan was sick, but she didn’t know how serious her condition was. “Tell me about the virus and investigation you mentioned earlier.”

Fu Chengyan sighed and took the bowl from her. He was slightly stunned to receive a bowl of noodles. “Did you cook this for me?”

Shi Nuan nodded her head. “Yes. You only took a few bites during dinner, so I was worried you might starve. You have gastric problems, remember?”

Fu Chengyan patted her head. “Wow, my May is concerned over me!”

“Hurry and eat the noodles. They’ll get soggy soon.” Shi Nuan pushed Fu Chengyan into his chair.

As Fu Chengyan didn’t want her to worry, he sat down and ate the noodles. Shi Nuan watched as the man finished the entire bowl of noodles in just a few bites. After handing him a glass of water, she questioned, “What happened to Huan?”

Fu Chengyan knew he couldn’t lie to her, so he explained everything in detail. “That was what happened.”

“You mean someone injected a virus into Huan three years ago? And then injected the same virus into Bao now? When did this happen? Why don’t I know about this? Bao is still a little kid!”

At the thought of the three-year-old Bao suffering from this plight, Shi Nuan demanded, “Who is that cruel to torture a pregnant woman and a little kid?”

“We don’t know yet.” Fu Chengyan had a wild guess, but there was no evidence. “I don’t know whether the other party is targeting the Li or Fu clan, so we need to be careful. You should come back home at once after work, alright?”

“Got it!” Shi Nuan grinned. “Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of myself. What about Huan and Bao? Aunt Ning can’t wait any longer.”

Fu Chengyan’s expression turned grim. “Jingxiu invited Dr. Paul, who’s a top expert in this field, to help us out. He can help to stabilize Aunt Ning’s illness for now. If he can confirm the virus in Huan’s body is not dangerous, then I don’t mind trying. But I can’t take the risks.” Both he and Li Heng dared not take the risk. “The best way is to eliminate the virus in Huan’s body or find a new bone marrow donor for Aunt Ning.”

“It’s hard to find a compatible bone marrow donor. That will take a long time.” Shi Nuan was concerned. “The best way out is for Huan to donate her bone marrow to Aunt Ning.”

“Mm!” Fu Chengyan nodded. “Don’t worry, Li Heng, and everyone else will think of a way out. By the way, Huan and Aunt Ning don’t know about it.”

“Got it!” If Pei Huan, Aunt Ning and Uncle Heng find out about this, they might collapse. ”Uncle Heng and Aunt Ning finally reunited with Huan, and Li Heng finally got back together with Huan. Why did this happen and who did that to them? Yan, who have you and Li Heng offended?”

“I don’t know either.” Fu Chengyan seemed exasperated. “If I know, things will be so much easier. But…” Someone seems suspicious to me.

“But what?”

“Nothing. Anyway, you needn’t worry about this. How are the preparations going for the project in Western District?”

“Oh, we’re at the final stage. By the way, I heard Mr. Lin say that you’re not going to partner with the Li Group?” Shi Nuan asked. “Is it because of Li Heng?”

“It’s because of Pei Huan.” Fu Chengyan ruffled her hair. “The Li clan bullied her. If I don’t do anything, they might think we’re pushovers.”

Shi Nuan nodded in agreement. “Huan is Uncle Heng and Aunt Ning’s precious daughter. We can’t let the Li clan bully her.” She was upset over what the Li clan did, too. Although she had never met any of the Lis, Ning Xin told her about what they did to Pei Huan back then. Pei Huan would’ve died if Li Heng weren’t there to protect her. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“But if you refuse to partner with the Li Group, who will you partner with?” It was a huge project, so she knew Shengyuan had to consider many things before deciding on a partner.

Fu Chengyan chuckled. “Don’t worry. You’ll hear good news soon.”

The next day, Li Xufan came to Shengyuan to talk to Fu Chengyan, but he didn’t get to meet the latter. There was no way Fu Chengyan would agree to meet someone from the Li clan. Li Xufan knew this would happen, but because of Li Xinzhi’s insistence, he came to Shengyuan a few times but to no avail.

During the Li Group’s meeting, Li Xufan and Li Cenbei were blamed for the huge losses suffered by the company. Everyone started doubting their capabilities and demanded Li Heng to return to his position. The only person who could run the Li Group was Li Heng.

When Li Xinzhi finally realized how upset the shareholders were at Li Cenbei and Li Xufan, he summoned Li Cenbei back home. “Bei, what is your opinion on this?”

Li Cenbei was reading the file about the company in Sheen City. He replied coolly, “Actually, I think the shareholders are right. Heng is the perfect candidate for this position. I’ve just returned to the country and am still figuring things out. Besides, the employees are not very happy with me.”

“That b*stard. I know he must be behind this. He’s trying to warn me the Li Group won’t be able to survive without him.” Li Xinzhi banged his walking stick on the ground loudly. “Let me tell you, the Li Group will never welcome him. I promised your mother I’d leave the Li Group to you. Bei, I’m no longer young, so I can’t manage the company anymore. But the Li Group is my sweat and blood. I don’t want it to go bankrupt under your management. Do you get it?”

Li Cenbei frowned. “But you should know I’m not—”

“Bei!” Li Xinzhi cut him off abruptly. “Do you know why I insist on sending Li Heng away back then?”

Li Cenbei said nothing, but Li Xinzhi sighed. “The boy is just like me when I was young. He is ruthless and would not stop at anything to get what he wants. Hence, he isn’t the right fit for the Li clan and the Li Group. You’ll be the head of our clan and run the company. After my demise, take care of Min and Xufan. They are the only relatives you have.”

Li Cenbei’s grip on the file tightened as a vicious glint flashed across his eyes.

Outside the room, Li Xufan clenched his fists as the same vicious expression appeared on his face.

Li Xinzhi insisted on firing Li Heng, so those who worked for Li Heng resigned and entered the Prosperous Group—the company that had just been established in Sheen City three years ago.

“Find out who is behind Prosperous Group!” Li Cenbei stared at the file in his hand intently before looking up at the woman standing at a distance away. “Why are you here?”

“Cenbei—”

“I’m your Uncle Bei!” Disgust flitted across his gaze. “I’m at work. Why did you come to my office?”

“Cenbei, do you have to be this cruel? You should know I’ve never thought of you as my uncle. We…” Li Min bit her lip. “Why did you marry that b*tch Pei Huan? When you were with me—”

“Enough!” Li Cenbei rose to his feet and looked at Li Min without any emotion. “How many times do I have to tell you that I’m your uncle, your elder?”

“No, you’re not!” Li Min flung her arms around him. “I’ve never thought of you as an elder. Cenbei, I’ve been your lover since I was sixteen. Back then, you dumped me without saying anything. Do you know Grandpa forced me to marry another man? I couldn’t find you and—”

Li Cenbei grabbed her hand and shove her away forcefully. “You did it willingly back then. Don’t forget, I’m your uncle. We can’t be together!”

“But I don’t care. I’ve never cared since I became your lover. I know you love me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have taken me back then, right?”

“No, I’ve never loved you, ever. Li Min, you’re my niece, nothing else. I don’t want to commit incest!”

Li Cenbei glared at Li Min. “If Father knows about this, both you and Li Xufan won’t be able to stay in the Li Residence. Leave right now, and I’ll pretend nothing has ever happened.”

“Ha! Do you think Grandpa knows nothing? He adores Xufan a lot because of you. I got pregnant before getting married, and he was afraid people would talk, so he got a man to marry into the Li clan. Xufan is your son!”

Li Cenbei gripped his fists. “Li Min, if you continue sprouting nonsense, don’t blame me for taking action.” He pressed on the internal intercom. “Send the security to my office now!”

Suddenly, the door of his office was kicked open, revealing a scowling Li Xufan. When Li Min spotted Li Xufan, her entire being trembled in horror. “Xufan, I…”

“Li Cenbei, you b*stard!”

Li Xufan rushed forward and gave Li Cenbei a punch. “I am going to beat the sh*t out of you. You bloody scum!”

“Xufan, stop!” Li Min stood in front of Li Cenbei to protect him from her son’s attack. “Xufan, what are you doing?”

“What am I doing?” Li Xufan sneered icily. “How much more disgusting can this be?”
