Middle-aged tycoon: Twins come knocking on his door when he goes home for Chinese New Year

Li Ze stood still, holding his phone in his hand.

My thumb hovered above the screen, hesitating for a long time.

As the world's richest man, he can discuss deals worth tens of billions without batting an eye.

Right now, I don't even know what to say as the first thing to my daughter.

Sending "Hello"? That's too formal.

Send "I am the dad"? Of course, I've already changed the nickname.

After thinking for a long time, Li Ze finally relied on the instincts of a middle-aged man.

I browsed through the emoji section and then selected the system's default "rose" emoji and sent it.

Then, he clumsily typed two more words:

【My daughter.】

The phone rang just two seconds after the message was sent.

A cute emoji appeared on the other end, showing a cat nodding, accompanied by the caption "well-behaved".

[Li Mengli: Dad, your rose-themed expression is so retro, it gives off a strong old-fashioned vibe. But I'll accept it!]

Looking at the words on the screen, Li Ze couldn't help but laugh.

He was teased by his daughter, but he was secretly delighted.

Immediately afterwards, Li Mengli sent another message:

[Li Mengli: Dad, don't take it too hard. Mom and Xiaohan are just having a hard time getting over it right now. After all these years, they need to let off some steam.]

[Li Mengli: Mom didn't say a word the whole way out, her face was frighteningly dark. But don't worry, with me mediating, this situation will definitely turn around.]

Li Ze felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he read the comforting message from his daughter.

This child is so sensible, so sensible that it breaks my heart.

He replied quickly:

Let them be angry. It's all something I owe them. As long as they vent their anger, and as long as they give me a chance to make it up to them later, I'll do anything.

The reply came instantly:

[Li Mengli: Don't worry, Dad! We'll definitely have one! After all, we're family. I have to go now, Mom's glaring at me, I need to hide my phone. Talk to you later!]

Li Ze looked at the "chat back" message, smiled, and put his phone back in his pocket.

As long as this thread remains unbroken, there is always hope.

Just then, the air behind them seemed to freeze for a moment.

Like a ghost, Lao Yi reappeared silently behind Li Ze.

"Boss."

The smile on Li Ze's face vanished instantly, and when he turned around, his eyes had become cold and stern.

He looked at the old man:

"Oldest brother, I don't want what happened just now to happen again."

"That boy is my own son. That woman is the most important person in my life."

"They are my family, which means they are your masters."

"If you ever lay a hand on them like that again..."

Li Ze paused, his eyes sharp as knives:

"You can all go find somewhere to die, and don't come back to see me."

The old man trembled and immediately lowered his head, his attitude extremely respectful.

"Yes, boss! I know I was wrong. From now on, we will protect Madam, Young Master, and Miss just as we would protect you."

Li Ze nodded, his expression softening somewhat.

He knew that these cyborg bodyguards were rigid and that the rules had to be clearly defined.

Once the old man saw that his boss was no longer angry, he continued to report to his supervisor:

"Boss, while we were stopping the young master, my men also managed to extract skin flakes and hair from the young master and young lady."

"Although you have already confirmed it, to be absolutely certain, shouldn't we send it to a laboratory for DNA testing?"

Li Ze raised an eyebrow.

These subordinates are indeed incredibly efficient.

Although he had long believed in his heart that it was his child, after all, the appearance and details matched.

But for a meticulous businessman, data is always the most powerful evidence.

"Let's get it tested," Li Ze said calmly. "Getting a result will keep a record."

"Yes." The old man nodded.

As Li Ze walked towards the exit, he casually gave the following instructions:

"There are two more things I need you to take care of."

"First, buy me a few apartments in Seoul. They need to be in good locations, with good security, and close to universities."

The first man took out his notebook and wrote down:

"Okay, boss, which university is it?"

Li Ze paused in his steps.

Oh no, I was so busy chatting that I forgot to ask my daughter and son which universities they attend.

All I know is that it's in Han City.

Li Ze thought for a moment, then waved his hand dismissively:

"Never mind, buy me a few units around all the universities in Han City, whether they are apartments or villas, as long as they are in good developments."

"Anyway, having too many houses won't be a burden. They can be used as dormitories for the children in the future."

There are many universities in Seoul, and acquiring so many properties would mean asking for astronomical prices.

But for the boss's financial resources, this is just a piece of cake.

"Understood, boss."

"The second thing," Li Ze continued, "is to find out which restaurant Zhang Ruoran is currently working at."

"After finding out, I bought the restaurant outright. No matter what price they asked for, I wanted 100% control."

"From now on, I'll be in charge of where my wife works. I won't let any shady boss bully her."

"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away."

As they spoke, the two had already reached the vicinity of the open-air parking lot outside the train station.

Li Ze originally intended to get into his convoy and leave, but he suddenly stopped.

Because he saw a familiar figure in a corner not far away.

It was a white Volkswagen sedan, which looked quite old, with several scratches on its body.

At this moment, Zhang Ruoran was standing behind the car.

Holding Li Mengli's huge suitcase, he looked somewhat worried.

Li Mengli and Li Menghan were also standing nearby.

"Mom, this box is too big. The trunk is full and we can't fit it in," Li Menghan said, scratching her head.

The trunk of that Volkswagen wasn't very big to begin with, and it seemed to have contained some New Year's goods.

At this point, it would be impossible to fit such a large suitcase into the luggage.

Zhang Ruoran tried several times, but the trunk lid just wouldn't close, and she was so anxious that she started sweating.

"How about putting it in the back seat?" Li Mengli suggested.

"It's already cramped for just the two of you in the back seat, let alone with a suitcase." Zhang Ruoran sighed and put the suitcase down.

"Never mind, Mengli, just hail a taxi on the street. You take the taxi and bring the suitcase back, your brother and I will drive back."

Li Mengli was somewhat unwilling:

"Huh? We've only just met and we're already parting ways? And we have to waste that money..."

Li Ze, watching from a distance, saw all of this.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

The opportunity has arrived!

He turned to the old man and said:

"Oldest brother, hurry up and get me a car."

"Remember, don't go for anything too expensive. Go for something ordinary, the kind of car you can easily see on the street."

"I need to take my daughter home."

The old man paused for a moment, then nodded:

"Understood, a regular car."

After saying that, Lao Yi picked up the walkie-talkie and said a few words.

Less than two minutes later, a gleaming black sedan with a long, sleek body slowly drove up and stopped in front of Li Ze.

The driver got out of the car and respectfully opened the door.

Li Ze stared at the car in front of him, his eye twitching violently.

Two-tone body, large round wheels, and that eye-catching double-M emblem.

Isn't this a Maybach S680?

And it's the bulletproof extended version!

Li Ze turned and glared at Lao Yi, pointing at the car and cursing:

"Oldest brother, is your brain filled with mush?"

"I told you to find a regular car! A regular one! Why did you bring me a Maybach?"

The youngest looked aggrieved, his eyes behind his sunglasses filled with confusion.

"Boss... this car is already the lowest-end model in your garage..."

"You used to never take this bus when you went out to buy groceries, saying it was too low-class..."

Li Ze was amused by the situation.

Indeed, for someone as wealthy as him, a Maybach is practically just a grocery-getter.

But to ordinary people, this is a top-of-the-line luxury car.

"Change it! Change it right now!"

"Get one of those...you know, one of those cars that cost hundreds of thousands, the kind you see everywhere!"

The old man suddenly realized:

"Oh! I get it! A piece of junk worth a few hundred thousand!"

He then shouted a few more words into the walkie-talkie.

Soon, a black Audi A6 drove up.

The old man pointed to the Audi A6 and said:

"Boss, isn't this car pretty ordinary? Our men don't usually drive this when they go out shopping."

Li Ze glanced at it and, although he still felt it was a bit too business-like, it was still acceptable.

The Audi A6, while also a luxury car, is indeed much more understated compared to Maybach and Rolls-Royce.

"Okay, this one will do."

Li Ze snatched the car keys and got into the driver's seat.

"Don't follow me, I'll go by myself."

After saying that, Li Ze stepped on the gas, and the Audi glided smoothly away.

……

Over here, Zhang Ruoran was preparing to call a taxi for her daughter.

Suddenly, a black Audi A6 slowly pulled up next to their Volkswagen.

The car window rolled down.

Li Ze's face, with its gentle smile, was revealed.

He rested one hand on the car window, looked at Li Mengli standing by the roadside shivering in the cold wind, and asked with a smile:

"Mengli, you probably can't get a taxi, right?"

"How about we ride in Dad's car?"

Upon hearing the voice, Li Mengli turned around in surprise.

Upon seeing that it was Li Ze, her eyes lit up instantly, sparkling like stars.

She was worried about not wanting to be separated from her mother by taking a taxi, and besides, the trunk of the taxi might not be big enough to fit her large suitcase.

"Dad! Why haven't you left yet?"

Li Mengli shouted happily.

Zhang Ruoran and Li Menghan, who were standing nearby, also looked over.

When Zhang Ruoran saw Li Ze, her brows furrowed again, and she was about to say something.

But then Li Mengli ran happily to the Audi, opened the door, and shouted:

"Okay! I'll ride in Daddy's car!"

"This car looks much more spacious than a taxi; it should be able to fit my suitcase!"

Li Ze laughed and got out of the car.

Ignoring Zhang Ruoran's murderous glare, he walked straight to the large suitcase.

"Come on, Dad will help you put your luggage away."

As he spoke, he easily lifted the heavy box with one hand.

I opened the Audi's trunk and carefully placed it inside.
