Chapter 1885: As Long As Duo Duo Is Willing
“Why are you so nice to me?”
Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes were filled with surprise as she looked at Mr Li. Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she had met a scammer? However, a scammer would never ask for her to take over the company.
This was a treatment that even close relatives might not receive.
Who was Mr Li? He was a tyc.o.o.n on the streets of the American Chinese. He was practically the leader of the entire American Chinese population. He had led a flouris.h.i.+ng life in the United States all these years. However, very few people had seen Mr Li’s true face. Those who had seen him kept their mouths shut.
She only knew that Mr Li was a benevolent philanthropist. He had saved countless orphans and elderly people. Not only in America, but even in war-torn countries, his name was like a protected t.i.tle.
When Mr Li took out his name card and handed it to Tang Xiaoyu, he could already see a pure yet firm look in her eyes. This was a rare ability of a woman, and he believed that he would not be mistaken about this person.
“Mr Li, if you really want to help me, then there’s something I need your help with right now.”
Tang Xiaoyu thought about it carefully and knew how capable Mr Li was. She also knew that she had to rely on this big tree to stand in front of Gu Zhengrong again. She had to face the person she cared about with another ident.i.ty.
“Have you forgotten that this baby is my G.o.d-granddaughter?”
Mr. Li lowered his head and smiled at Duo Duo.
Tang Xiaoyu did not say another word. As she looked at Duo Duo, the sadness in her heart gushed out. How could she not care? How could she allow Gu Zhengrong to look at her in the same way as before? How could she allow her past thoughts to be defeated by him again?
So what if he she could not get what she wanted? If she could not get what she wanted, she could just give it up. However, if she destroyed it herself, it would be a little too exciting.
“My G.o.d-granddaughter’s mother, what do you think of my suggestion? If you really want to miss it, I can’t guarantee that I can give you such good conditions in the future. If you give up this time, then in the future…”
“Mr Li, thank you for your help. I’m willing to accept your offer. I am honored that my daughter have you as her G.o.d-grandfather.”
“Okay, that’s good. When we get to America, you can come with me. I’ll get someone to send the two of you home. Or you can just stay at my place. I’m already an old man, it’s too lonely living in a big house.”
He thought of the big house he lived in. It was cold and empty. There were more servants in the house than the owner. The more people there were, the more Mr Li felt that he was actually alone.
So what if he was rich? He could not find a satisfactory partner. He did not need to guess the intentions of the woman who approached him. Only this pure-eyed Duo Duo, he had not seen such pure eyes for many years.
The more he had not seen such pure eyes, the more she wanted to bring him along. However, the child’s mother disagreed.
What Tang Xiaoyu needed was Mr Li’s financial resources and connections, and he did not lack either.
As long as Tang Xiaoyu needed it, he could give it to her anytime and anywhere as long as Duo Duo was willing to stay by his side.
“Mr Li, thank you. I’m willing to move into your house.”
Tang Xiaoyu did not think too much about it and agreed to Mr Li’s suggestion. What she needed was not only Mr Li’s wealth and connections, but also the ability to rise from zero to the highest point as a newcomer in America. She would definitely suffer in the process.
“Okay, someone will come and pick me up when I get off the plane. Do you have any other luggage besides the things on the plane?”
“No, there’s still me and Duo Duo.”
She shook her head as she looked at Duo Duo.
“Alright, then I’ll arrange the best room for my G.o.d-granddaughter. As long as Duo Duo is willing, my entire house is hers. Right, Duo Duo?”
Mr Li looked at Duo Duo with a smile in his eyes. Duo Duo did not understand what Mr. Li was saying and just nodded her head while laughing heartily.
“Duo Duo doesn’t understand these things. Mr Li, please don’t settle your finances so simply. Duo Duo is a child, a windfall won’t be good for her.”
Tang Xiaoyu’s heart trembled when she saw how serious Mr Li was. Everyone said that Mr Li never cared about money, but it seemed like that was indeed the case. No wonder he became a famous philanthropist. No wonder he was so caring about Duo Duo.
When a person reached a high place, they would only receive endless loneliness.
No one could say that they were lonely. They had a lot of money in their hands, but they could only help the poor. It was useless in their hands.
“Mr Li, please take a break. We’ll be arriving at United States airs.p.a.ce soon.”
Tang Xiaoyu suggested as she looked into Mr Li’s eyes with sympathy.
“Okay, I’ll go and sleep for a while. We have travelled so far but I’m still a little tired. I’m old and I can’t take such a long flight. I’m old after all. Humans can’t be unconvinced of their age. Xiaoyu, you’re still young and don’t understand the sorrows of us old people. I already have one foot in the grave.”
After Mr Li said that, he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Tang Xiaoyu could not say anything else and could only look at him with sorrow in her heart.
On such a long road of life, where was their true home?
The plane soon landed at the airport in America. Tang Xiaoyu carried Duoduo and followed Mr Li to the entrance of the airport. Sure enough, she saw a luxurious Lincoln Limousine parked at the entrance.
“Xiaoyu, carry Duo Duo into the car.”
Mr Li opened the door for Tang Xiaoyu gentlemanly and followed her into the car.
“It’s fine, Xiaoyu. Don’t be afraid. My place is not far from here and is close to Gu Zhengrong’s company.”
Everyone on Chinatown in the United States knew about Mr Li, but they did not know where he lived. They all said that Mr Li had properties all over the place, but in reality, it was the shares of Mr Li’s house that were all over the place. No matter where he went, people would come and beg Mr Li to stay in a hotel and in a house that had already been renovated. Every realtor would leave a room on the best floor of every building for Mr Li.
This also made Mr Li the mysterious person in everyone’s hearts.
“Thank you, Mr Li. Sorry for troubling you.”
Tang Xiaoyu hugged Duo Duo as she sat opposite Mr Li. The large Lincoln car had plenty of s.p.a.ce. Other than the bodyguards sitting behind, the rest of the s.p.a.ce belonged to Mr Li and Tang Xiaoyu.
