Chapter 2253: Chapter 2254: Just an Entrepreneurial Youth

“Are you trying to set me up with your nephew?”

“Actually, yes.” Li Dongren laughed as he spoke,

“My nephew is 32 this year, a perfect match for your daughter. Moreover, he is already a lieutenant colonel now. I feel they are quite suitable.”

“They indeed seem suitable, but you were a step too late.” Liang Cunxiao said proudly,

“My daughter already has a boyfriend, and she even brought him over today. I’m afraid it won’t work.”

“She has a boyfriend already? What does he do?”

...

Li Dongren was a bit surprised because he had never heard about him before.

“He owns a company in Zhong Hai.”

Regarding Lin Yi’s identity at the Central Guard, Liang Cunxiao didn’t elaborate.

Under circumstances that allowed confidentiality, it was better not to say too much.

“So, he owns a company.”

Li Dongren said nonchalantly, “But that’s not exactly a great choice. In terms of her future career, it won’t help Mi Li much.”

“I can’t help it; she found him herself. And you know I can’t really control Mi Li with my meager skills. Let her do what she wishes.”

Liang Cunxiao is a typical doting father. Shen Shuyi didn’t give her love, and Mi Li received all of it from Liang Cunxiao.

Seeing him put it this way, Li Dongren didn’t know what else to say, but he didn’t leave either. He wanted to see what Liang Ruoxu’s boyfriend was like.

So, he might as well just watch these old soldiers training.

“Dad.”

Hearing Liang Ruoxu’s call, Liang Cunxiao turned to look.

Seeing Liang Ruoxu jogging towards him, the father and daughter shared a long-missed hug.

“Alright, let go now. Your Uncle Lee is still here.”

Liang Ruoxu let go of her father with a giggle and greeted Li Dongren.

“Uncle Lee, it’s been a while since I saw you last. How come you’ve lost weight? Has Aunt Zhang been bullying you?”

“Bullying me? No.” Li Dongren said,

“I was diagnosed with gallstones a while ago. Eating anything makes me uncomfortable, and I’ve lost quite a few pounds.”

“That’s no minor issue; it can easily trigger pancreatitis. You need to take it seriously.”

“Look at that, having you over for meals as a kid wasn’t in vain; you’ve even learned to care about others,” Li Dongren chuckled, “Come over to our place. I’ll have your Aunt Zhang make you some pig’s feet again, sent by others, raised free-range in the Northeast.”

Liang Ruoxu looked embarrassed. “Let’s not talk about gnawing on pig’s feet right now.”

Li Dongren laughed out loud, his eyes drifting towards Lin Yi nearby.

It was clear without saying that this was Liang Ruoxu’s boyfriend.

Just by looking at his appearance, he could tell they’re well matched.

But Liang Ruoxu had an extraordinary status.

Not to mention the Liang family’s standing in Yanjing, she alone surpassed all her peers.

Very few could match her.

Someone who merely owned a company definitely wasn’t one of them.

But since they were already together, it wasn’t his place to say anything.

“Uncle Liang, Uncle Lee.”

Lin Yi approached, smiling as he greeted.

“What happened to your face?” Li Ruoxu asked, “Your corner of the mouth seems bruised. Don’t tell me she hit you.”

Liang Cunxiao knew Lin Yi’s capabilities well; under normal circumstances, no one could hurt him.

Unless it was his own daughter who had struck him.

“I got into a fight with someone, but it’s all good now. No worries.”

Liang Cunxiao nodded, understanding the situation; likely, it was a recent mission.

“Dad, you are not busy anyway. Let’s go home. No need to stay here any longer.”

“Let’s go,” Liang Cunxiao said. “I’ll go get ready to pick up your mom from work.”

“Mm-hmm.”

“Isn’t your mother-in-law busy? Can she leave at this time?”

“Usually, as long as my dad goes to pick her up, my mom won’t be at the company anymore.”

“That’s another wave of dog food.”

“Pfft, learn from it.”

After saying goodbye to Li Dongren, the three of them left.

Watching Liang Ruoxu’s retreating figure, Li Dongren felt a bit of a sigh and also a bit of regret.

He had actually had his eye on Liang Ruoxu for a long time, but before, his nephew hadn’t risen through the ranks. Due to the gap in their statuses, he hadn’t felt it appropriate to bring it up.

Now things were better, his nephew had been promoted, but Liang Ruoxu had already been taken by someone else.

It really was quite unlucky.

Li Dongren smacked his lips. He found Lin Yi’s appearance quite pleasing, especially his vibrant spirit, much stronger than ordinary people.

With things as they were, Li Dongren didn’t dwell on it any longer. He walked slowly toward the office building, hands behind his back.

“Uncle.”

As he just came up the stairwell, he heard someone shout.

A man in his thirties, about one meter eighty tall with a straight posture came walking toward him. Although not exceptionally handsome, he looked presentable in his uniform.

It was Li Dongren’s nephew, Li Haoyu.

“Uncle, how did it go? Did you talk to my Uncle Liang?”

“You should stop thinking about this,” Li Dongren said.

“She has a boyfriend now, even brought him to celebrate New Year’s Day together. You should really stop thinking about it.”

Hearing this, Li Haoyu’s expression paused.

“What does the other guy do, for Liang Ruoxu to be interested in him?”

Li Haoyu felt a bit indignant, believing that at Liang Ruoxu’s level, ordinary men couldn’t match her, except for himself.

“It’s said that he opened a company in Zhong Hai. I didn’t feel it right to ask too much about it, but you should really drop the subject.”

“How can I not think about it?” Li Haoyu said disappointedly.

“But I think, whether they can work out is still uncertain. There’s a big gap in their statuses, and they’re not from the same circle. I really don’t see it working out for them.”

“Even if you don’t see it working, there’s no opportunity now,” Li Dongren said.

“But a young entrepreneur and Mi Li are really not matched in terms of status, whether it can work out is indeed a question.”

“So you see, as long as they’re not married, I still have a chance.”

“You might be right about that…”

“What are you two whispering about?”

As they were talking, they saw a man with half-white hair walking toward them holding a document, speaking as he read it.

The man’s name was Mao Shuchun, Li Dongren’s superior.

“Hello, sir.”

Because of the significant difference in their rank, Li Haoyu stood in place and saluted.

Li Dongren said with a smile:

“My nephew took a liking to Elder Liang’s daughter and asked me to speak on his behalf, but it turned out she came back with her boyfriend, leaving us no chance.”

Mao Shuchun thought for a moment, “You mean Elder Liang’s granddaughter.”

“Yes, yes, that’s her.”

“If I remember correctly, Elder Liang’s son-in-law is called Lin Yi. The young man is quite spirited.”

“Huh?”

Upon hearing this, the uncle and nephew were stunned.

With Mao Shuchun’s status, how could he possibly know a young entrepreneur from Zhong Hai?

“Sir, do you know him?” Li Dongren asked tentatively.
