Chapter 2000 - 2010: Even Without Others Saying It, He Will Protect His Own Woman
Old Lady Habsden immediately showed a sly smile, "That’s more like it, it’s settled then, I’ll go tell others.""Okay. Let me just say, I’m only going to have a look, so don’t say anything that might make the other person uncomfortable." He was worried that his mom would get too excited and insist on calling the person her future daughter-in-law or something similar. After all, the old grandma had a history of trying to force a marriage. He had spent quite a bit of effort sorting out everything with that woman, and he didn’t have that much time to handle another one.
The old madam gave him a sidelong glance, like a petulant child, "I know, don’t worry. This time, I’ve specially chosen a girl who looks like Hass according to your taste. I’m sure you’ll like her."
Quan Dongting, "..."
His temple was about to explode!
Old Lady Habsden, aside from being serious at first, was very approachable and easy to get along with most of the time. There was none of that stern warning that if he mistreated Chi Enen, she’d take her away. Instead, she was like a little kid, occasionally spilling interesting stories about Quan Dongting’s childhood.
Li Beijue couldn’t help but relax in this atmosphere.
Previously, he had been anxious about what to do during his first meeting with the parents, but when he really met Chi Enen’s family, he realized that what he had read online and heard from Huo Leiting and the others was completely unreliable.
It was only when he truly interacted with Chi Enen’s family that he understood, meeting the parents can be very relaxed.
Old Lady Habsden’s health wasn’t very good, and after chatting for a while, fatigue showed on her face.
The butler promptly said, "Madam, it’s time for your medication, please go back to your room and rest."
Quan Dongting quickly stood up and said, "Mom, you go ahead. I’ll keep Young Master Li company here."
Old Lady Habsden hesitated for a moment, her energy indeed waning, and she reluctantly said, "Alright, I’ll go take my medication, you two chat."
She left with the butler’s support.
Once she had walked away, Quan Dongting retracted his worried gaze, rubbed his temple swollen from being pressured to marry, and said, "Let’s go, I’ll see you out. You must have other things to attend to."
Li Beijue stood up and followed behind him.
As Quan Dongting led him out, he suddenly said, "My mom still doesn’t know about Enen’s company business. I’ll leave Nuonuo here for a few days to accompany her, so she won’t focus on other matters. I’ll return Nuonuo before she goes back."
Li Beijue squinted his falcon-like eyes, touched his thin lips, "Alright."
"About Ryan’s issue, do you have any thoughts?" Quan Dongting stopped, glanced at him, his tea-colored pupils deep and steady, "I’ve already had someone look into it, and the news on my end is that the batch of materials is indeed substandard. This news will probably be announced online tomorrow. Once this news comes out, Enen is bound to face larger public opinion pressure. How can you protect her?"
"I’ll have someone delay the announcement by two days," Li Beijue said decisively.
Such a significant matter, delaying it for two days would subject the official side to two days of public opinion pressure, which wasn’t a small issue, but he had a convincing charm.
Quan Dongting’s eyes finally showed a trace of satisfaction as he said, "I’ll also help investigate this matter over the next two days. You must ensure Enen’s safety."
"I know."
Chi Enen is his woman. Even without Quan Dongting’s reminder, he would protect her!
