Chapter 379 - The Lis (1/2)
The disapproval was clear on the Li couple's faces. They almost seemed like they were about to give him a few smacks on the cheek.
Chu Lui stood in front of them. His taller-than-average height definitely stood over everything.
”I think the two of you are mistaken.” He walked past them towards his parents. His words made the Li couple glance at each other. They didn't know what he meant.
Chu Lui stuffed his hands into his pocket and stared at them calmly, including Li Manni.
”I'm a Chu, and you are Lis.” He spoke coldly. If not for his care for them, he would humiliate them to pieces—even if they were Li Manni's parents. That was the kind of person he was. It wasn't being rude; they had just crossed the line.
”The Chu Enterprise is under the Chu family, too. When the baby is born, he will be part of the Chu family, too. The Chu Enterprise will never become the Li Enterprise.
”Do you understand?”
His lips curled sarcastically. Did they think he wouldn't know what they were thinking? In these four years, the Li family had used his name to secretly intercept in numerous contracts, but he had always turned a blind eye to that.
He could still afford those contracts, and after all, they were Li Manni's parents and his parents-in-law. However, his tolerance was finite and couldn't last forever.
Mr. Li's face turned red, and his eyes bulged. Chu Jiang turned away and said, ”I'm tired. Excuse me, in-laws.” Chu Jiang stood up and pulled Song Wan along, leaving everything to Chu Lui. He could make the decision himself.
Yes, Chu Lui was right. The company was the Chus', not the Lis'.
Song Wan glanced awkwardly at the Li couple before she was pulled away by Chu Jiang. Being there would just make their ears suffer.
Li Manni placed a hand on her stomach and wrinkled her brow. ”Lui, my stomach hurts.”
Mrs. Li scrambled in panic. ”What's wrong, Manni. Is it the baby? Ah Lui, what are you just standing there for? Can't you see that Manni is in pain?”
Chu Lui took his hands out of his pockets, approached Li Manni, and carried her easily. ”She's tired. I'll let her get some rest.”
He walked past the Li couple and towards his own room under the Li couple's wide eyes.
”Lui, are you really going to do this? My stomach is really in pain.” Li Manni clutched Chu Lui's shirt, her complexion terrible.
”Stop trying.” Chu Lui stopped in his tracks and stared down at the woman in his arms. ”Manni, this isn't your first time. You wouldn't treat this child lightly. You should know when to stop. Don't make me disappointed in you, and don't make the last of your kindness disappear.”
Li Manni stiffened despite herself. She hadn't said or done anything, and he already knew what she was trying to do. Yes, she was thinking of a plan to threaten him again, and yes, she wouldn't treat this child lightly and do any harm like he had guessed.
