Transmigrated as the Mother of the Abused Male Lead in a Tragic Novel

Chapter 68
The night was very dark and quiet.

Su Li lay on the soft and spacious bed, unable to fall asleep.

He couldn't remember how many times he had suffered from insomnia.

He tilted his head to look at the moon outside the window. It was very beautiful, big and round. He heard it was Mid-Autumn Festival today.

He wondered what mooncakes tasted like.

With random thoughts running through his mind, Su Li glanced at his watch. It was three thirty.

He lay still on his back, staring at the ceiling, spacing out until dawn.

His secretary Zhou Yao arrived very early, bringing breakfast. When he opened the door and entered, Su Li had already gotten out of bed.

Zhou Yao went through the schedule for the day according to the timetable. It was packed full.

After finishing, Zhou Yao hesitated for a moment. "Boss, Miss Li called me yesterday. She said...she hopes you can invest to help her family's company."

"She said that as long as you are willing to invest, she will marry you."

Su Li was very calm.

He ate the shrimp dumplings without saying anything, carefully savoring them.

Zhou Yao waited for a moment, biting his lips. "Boss, I think Miss Li is quite pitiful. She cried very sadly on the phone. Her family's company is indeed about to go bankrupt. You..."

"So my money would just be thrown down a well if I sent it over?" Su Li said. "I believe you know better than me whether her family's company is worth saving and has value."

"Not only do I have to give away money for no reason, and then have to watch her reluctantly marry me as if I had coerced her, while she still longs for the man she loves in her heart?"

"Zhou Yao, I'm not that much of a masochist yet."

Su Li looked at him coldly. "I hope this is the last time."

Zhou Yao lowered his head, somewhat ashamed.

He had witnessed with his own eyes how Li Qingqing had treated the boss in the past, taking advantage of the boss's feelings and almost causing his death. He was not unaware.

Zhou Yao felt somewhat confused. Why did he suddenly feel a little reluctant to refuse when he heard the sadness in Li Qingqing's voice yesterday?

Even though he had always detested her.

Su Li paid no more attention to Zhou Yao's distracted state. After breakfast, he headed to the company.

The business affairs that had accumulated in a day were numerous and chaotic. At noon, he still had to go to eat with the boss of a partner company.

The boss looked mild-mannered, but his words were subtly demeaning Su Li's background all the time.

Su Li remained calm and amiable until the boss grew more and more smug and mentioned his parents. Only then did he pick up a napkin to wipe his mouth and said, "Mr. Zheng, I will have someone deliver the termination of our contract agreement to your company within three days."

The boss was stunned for a moment and his face darkened. "President Su, one can casually eat food, but cannot casually say words. Please think thrice."

"Xiangxing is very remarkable, but we old companies are not to be trifled with either. This kind of disrespect for your elders is not good behavior."
