The Peninsula chaebol started by rescuing Samsung's little princess.

Li Haorong hadn't originally planned to go to work today.

Last night, Li Zhixian's fever reached as high as 38 degrees Celsius. Li Haorong wanted to take her to the hospital, but Li Zhixian refused.

Fortunately, her fever subsided this morning, which made Li Haorong give up his plan to force her to go to the hospital.

Seeing that Li Zhixian was out of danger, and considering that he hadn't been to the company for a week, he finally decided to go to the company to show his face.

"You stay home and rest, I'll be back at noon!"

"Inside!"

Before leaving, Lee Ho-young kissed Lee Ji-hyun's forehead.

After Li Haorong left, Li Zhixian noticed that he wasn't wearing his watch, so she dragged her tired body to the door, only to hear voices outside.

"Li Haorong?"

The well-dressed, handsome man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of me is quite dashing. It's clear that he was a handsome young man in the surrounding area when he was young.

The other person's eyes resembled Li Zhixian's, and they could call out his name immediately, so his identity was self-evident.

"Uncle Li?"

Li Haorong asked tentatively.

"Looks like I don't need to introduce myself!"

The man looked at Li Haorong and sneered.

It was clear that the other party was Li Zhixian's father.

For others, Li Haorong's residence was not easy to find, but for Li's father, it was extremely easy.

All I had to do was call my old classmate who works at the Ministry of Land and Resources, and I would know the answer.

At this moment, Li Haorong could understand the murderous look in the other party's eyes.

After all, if the cabbage he painstakingly raised was eaten by a pig, he would also want to kill the pig!

The fact that they didn't take action at this point shows they were being very polite.

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's go inside."

As he spoke, Li Haorong opened the door to the next room and invited his father inside.

Li Haoyang had already gone to work, leaving only the two men at home. Li Haorong poured a cup of tea for his father and placed it on the coffee table.

Li's father didn't look at the tea, but stared at Li Haorong and said:

"To be honest, before I met you, I really wanted to punch you!"

"What made you give up on this idea?"

Li Haorong, on the other hand, was not nervous at all. He sat opposite his father with a smile on his face the whole time.

"I can't beat you!"

Li Haorong was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.

He never expected that Li Zhixian's father would be such a remarkable person.

"Since that's the case, what do you plan to do now, Uncle? Let me make this clear first: I'm not returning Zhixian to you!"

Instead of answering, Mr. Li asked, "Are you and Li Yinxin dating?"

"yes!"

Li Haorong answered very affirmatively.

"Don't you think what you're doing is selfish?"

"That's very selfish!"

"..."

Li's father was somewhat surprised when Li Haorong readily admitted it.

"If that's the case, why did you still provoke Zhixian? Zhixian is only 19 years old; she has a long life ahead of her!"

Upon hearing Li Haorong's scumbag-like remarks, Li's father secretly clenched his fists.

"Because I can take care of her for you!"

"I can take care of myself, I don't need you to!"

"Really? How did you take care of her before?"

Li Haorong's question left Li's father speechless for a moment.

Li Haorong continued to press on, saying:

"She couldn't afford to eat and was working two jobs. Why didn't you take care of her then?"

When she was scammed by the fraudulent company, why didn't you take care of her?

Why didn't you take care of her when she was sick and had a high fever?

Faced with Li Haorong's three questions in a row, Li's father was completely unable to refute them, because he was the one who had personally driven Li Zhixian out of the house.

"To be honest, I never dared to hope to have Ji-hyun. From the moment I met her, I just wanted to take care of her for you."

As for the current situation, it's because you yourself pushed her into this position!

Li Haorong's seemingly casual words struck Li's father's heart like a series of heavy blows.

Does Lee's father love Lee Ji-hyun?

The answer is yes!

But did he fulfill his responsibilities as a father?

This raises a big question mark!

When he cruelly kicked Li Zhixian out of the house, he didn't really mean to get rid of her. Instead, he was teaching her a lesson and hoping she would submit.

However, Li Zhixian's stubbornness far exceeded his expectations. She persisted for a full six months without giving in.

Moreover, after Li Zhixian went to Mars Technology, her life not only did not become difficult, but became more and more comfortable, which was completely beyond Li's father's expectations.

The two people who caused this situation are Li Haorong and himself!

At this moment, a trace of regret welled up in his heart. If he hadn't done that back then, would things be better now?

"So, Uncle, meeting me is the best outcome for Zhixian now."

I wouldn't dare call myself a good person, but I at least have the heart and the ability to take good care of her for you!

This was clearly a kind remark, but to Li's father, it always felt awkward.

However, things have come to this point, and it's clear that he has not achieved his original purpose.

Continuing to say anything would only bring shame upon himself, so Li's father immediately got up to leave.

"No need to see her off. I'll keep an eye on her. If one day you fail to take good care of her, I'll take her away!"

"good!"

A single word carries a heavy burden, but for Li Haorong, it is also a form of permission.

Left with no other choice, Li's father ultimately acquiesced to the relationship between the two.

Mr. Li left the room, closed the door, and prepared to leave, only to find Li Zhixian standing at the door.

"you……"

"Dad, you couldn't persuade him, could you?"

Wearing her pajamas, Li Zhixian spoke to her father.

How did you know?

"Because he's truly sincere towards me!"

"Hmph, what's the use of sincerity? In this world, the one thing you can't trust is sincerity!"

"That means I misjudged him! I accept it!"

Seeing Li Zhixian's stubbornness, Li's father shook his head and said, "What a silly girl!"

Mr. Li didn't want to say anything more and walked towards the elevator, but after pressing the button, he turned to Li Zhixian and said:

"Your affair is illicit. If one day your relationship brings shame to the Li family of Gaoyang, don't blame me for breaking you up!"

"Inside!"

Li Zhixian bowed to her father.

After Li's father got into the elevator and left, Li Zhixian knocked on the door behind her.

"Uncle, have you forgotten...?"

Thinking that Li's father had forgotten something, Li Haorong opened the door and found Li Zhixian there. He asked in surprise, "Why are you up? Have you seen your father?"

Li Zhixian walked in but sat on the sofa. She had been standing for a long time and was quite tired.

She picked up the cup of tea that had been poured for her father, took a sip, and said softly:

"Oppa, I want to change my name!"

"Why did you suddenly decide... what name do you want to change it to?"

Li Haorong then realized Li Zhixian's plan; she wanted to completely sever ties with her family, so he felt even more sorry for the girl.

What do you think of Qri?

"Juri? You want to be a wife?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Madame Curie!"

"That joke isn't funny at all; it's Pretty and Cute!"

"Haha, you're so narcissistic!"
