Chapter 465: Chapter 469: Rebirth in the Apocalypse (Six)

Every time he was with his daughter, Su Fugui acted like a silly good daddy, whose catchphrase was "Daughter is right, what Daughter says is correct, Daughter is never wrong."

After finishing the meal and enjoying the wonderful time with his daughter, as soon as Su Li left, Su Fugui turned cold and ruthless. He unreasonably made a phone call to his assistant.

"Immediately cease all cooperation with the Qi Family company."

Hmph, an incompetent man who can’t even please his own daughter doesn’t deserve resources that leak out from the Su Family.

The phrase ’turning one’s face and not recognizing people’ was coined for people like Su Fugui.

On one hand, he thought Qi Ersheng was unworthy of his daughter for still sticking close to her even though he had a girlfriend.

The moment his daughter treated him coldly, he became anxious and lashed out at Qi Ersheng, blaming him for not knowing how to please a girl and deserving the turmoil he faced over company matters.

Never underestimate the double standards of a daughter-slaved; they can’t be judged by common sense.

Qi Ersheng had been waiting outside the Su Mansion for almost a day; it wasn’t until dinner time approached that Su Li leisurely returned.

"Xiao Li."

As soon as Su Li got out of the car, Qi Ersheng stopped her.

At this moment, his appearance was far from the meticulously groomed look he usually maintained.

Having rushed over in the morning without the heart to dress properly, he had waited in the car all day without eating or drinking.

His body was covered in an unpleasant smell of smoke, and his anxious expression made him look very downcast.

Qi Ersheng was absolutely unaware of how terrible his image was at that moment.

As Su Li sensed someone approaching, and before she could see who it was, her body instinctively moved back three or four steps, she covered her nose and frowned, showing a very uncomfortable demeanor.

This was a huge blow to Qi Ersheng, who had been brimming with confidence since his rebirth.

"Xiao Li, why..." Qi Ersheng felt very uncomfortable inside.

In his previous life, Su Li, as his wife, had never shown such a disdainful expression.

He had been messy and disheveled in front of Su Li before; even after drinking and vomiting all over himself, Su Li had still attended to him tenderly and considerately.

Qi Ersheng wouldn’t think of other reasons; his mind was filled with the thought that Su Li had been led astray by someone.

And the one who had led her astray could only be that old fox from the Su Family.

Qi Ersheng had always known that Su Fugui was dissatisfied with him, yet there was still a hint of smugness in his heart.

In his past life, the other party had been dissatisfied with him as well, but still pinched his nose and married his daughter to him, entrusting him with the legacy he had built over a lifetime.

This led to him being careless this time around because of the impressions set in the previous life.

Reflecting, Qi Ersheng realized he should have applied more effort in his relationship with Su Li.

Even if they couldn’t be husband and wife this life, they could still be close as siblings; anyway, whatever the relationship from the past life or the bond in this life, the affection between them shouldn’t be destroyed by others.

He had resolved, right after his reincarnation, that he would certainly make things up to Su Li in this lifetime.

In just a split second, seventeen or eighteen thoughts had flashed through Qi Ersheng’s mind.

Quickly, the uncomfortable feeling that had just risen was forcefully suppressed back down.

He stepped back a little, apologetically with a hint of grievance, "I’m sorry, I dirtied you, it was just because I was too anxious."

"I’ve been here waiting for you all day, Xiao Li, why can’t your phone be reached, is it possible that..."

Qi Ersheng hesitated and then continued, "There’s also that project that we both liked, why did you suddenly withdraw the investment? Did something happen?"

"Actually, that project is really good, Uncle Su might have misunderstood me, but I can explain it to him."

Qi Ersheng naturally didn’t think it was Su Li’s own decision, but rather that Su Fugui was the one causing trouble.

If Su Li were truly just a girl freshly in her twenties, stirred by Qi Ersheng’s words, she would definitely be very dissatisfied with her parents forcibly meddling in her friendships.

Those with a more fiery temperament might even engage in rebellious actions.

The more you restrict me from doing this, the more I’ll want to do it.

Beneath Qi Ersheng’s youthful appearance, he had the experience of a lifetime, having journeyed from youth to old age, so he could still guess a bit about what young people think.

In their previous lives, having been spouses for a lifetime, Qi Ersheng believed his understanding of Su Li surpassed even that of Su Fugui.

Despite Su Li appearing gentle, with a frail body and speaking in soft, gentle tones, rarely outright opposing others, inside she was incredibly stubborn.

Once she set her mind to something, no one could persuade her otherwise.

If Su Li really harbored discontent towards Su Fugui, it would be a huge blow to a man deeply controlling over women.

Qi Ersheng thought it was all well planned, seeming to consider every aspect, but the one thing he didn’t consider was that the person he faced now was not the naïve girl from before.

Su Li was a woman who could be called the Demon King, her trademark being cold and merciless.

Without any pretense, Su Li retorted with a malicious smile, "You’re mistaken, it’s not my dad who misunderstood you."

"It’s that I lost interest in you."

"The investment in the project was stopped by my order,"

Su Li stated the matter bluntly, her face expressionless. However, her gentle features still lacked any aggressiveness, instead exuding a sense of teasing.

As if she was deliberately making a joke.

Her icy tone, almost like a playful kitten baring its teeth, greatly dissatisfied Su Li.

She attempted to appear more ferocious, but the effect...

She didn’t want to speak anymore.

But what kind of person was Qi Ersheng? Accustomed to the gentle whispers and humility of the original owner in his past life, he couldn’t accept even a trace of indifference from Su Li.

Qi Ersheng’s face darkened, "Xiao Li, such jokes aren’t funny."

His strained gentle expression began to crack, no longer mindful of the unpleasant odor emanating from his body as he swiftly stepped forward, attempting to grasp Su Li’s hand to pull her toward him.

"Slap!" His hand was fiercely swatted away mid-motion.

Su Li’s delicate palm, seemingly soft, struck with a force stronger than that of a vigorous young man.

Visibly, Qi Ersheng’s hand swelled red.

And that was Su Li holding back her strength, otherwise... the pervert would realize there’s no return.

Su Li: "Speak with words, don’t think about getting physical."

Now Qi Ersheng was truly annoyed, remembering the affection of their past life, he had unconsciously indulged Su Li to some extent, but that didn’t mean she could walk all over him.

His voice cold, and forcefully he said, "Stop messing around, Su Li, tell Uncle Su not to withdraw the investment. This project can bring good returns, and both of our families can benefit from it."
