Chapter 830 - 823: A Happy Occasion
Old Qi looked at Leng Liewei, waiting for his answer.
Leng Liewei gently placed his hand on Old Qi’s hand and said lightly, "You get up first, don’t kneel, it’s too cold on the ground."
Seeing Leng Liewei’s attitude soften, Old Qi thought he agreed, and stood up accordingly.
"Will you help Qi Hui? Right now, only you can help her!" As he spoke, it seemed Old Qi remembered something, "I will persuade Qi Hui to return Huamei International’s shares to you! Wouldn’t this help make up for the embezzlement of public funds?"
Leng Liewei sighed, "Old Qi, I cannot promise you anything now. Qi Hui’s actions amount to economic crime, and the embezzled public funds must be returned. Now, with things at this stage, I can only promise you that Huamei International and the Leng Family will not pressure the police and judge over this matter, nor will we secretly make things difficult for Qi Hui. This is already the greatest concession I can make."
Now that Leng Liewei spoke so clearly, Old Qi understood that the Leng Family refraining from pressuring the police and judge was already a considerable favor.
Indeed, if Huamei International and the Leng Family insisted on pursuing Qi Hui now, and further evidence unfavorable to Qi Hui was found, the outcome for her would be far worse.
"Alright, I understand..." Old Qi turned with empty eyes, slowly moving towards the door. When he reached the entrance, he paused, "Old Leng, I’ll make sure Qi Hui returns that 15% of the shares to you, and then we will owe each other nothing."
After speaking, Old Qi left Leng Liewei’s hospital room.
Leng Liewei sighed deeply, smiling somewhat helplessly; decades of friendship with Old Qi were now completely severed.
After adjusting his mood, Leng Liewei also left the hospital room. At the hospital entrance, seeing Xiao Xi smiling brightly, Leng Liewei’s gloomy mood lifted.
Sitting in the wheelchair, Leng Liewei reached out to Xiao Xi, "Xiao Xi, did you miss Grandpa?"
Xiao Xi blinked her big watery eyes at Leng Liewei, babbling with her little mouth, finally uttering a clear "ye!"
Leng Liewei was startled, instantly blooming with joy. Xiao Xi’s pronunciation of "ye" was clear, and Leng Liewei excitedly asked Sister Liu to place Xiao Xi on his lap, hugging her and showering her tender little face with kisses.
Xiao Xi seemed a bit repulsed by Grandpa’s saliva, pushing Leng Liewei’s mouth away with her small hands, continuing to utter the "ye" sound.
Leng Liewei was delighted and proudly said to Bai Yiran, "Did you hear? Our Xiao Xi can call Grandpa now, did you hear that!"
Bai Yiran and Luna exchanged smiles; actually, Xiao Xi had been frequently babbling incomprehensibly recently, and might occasionally utter sounds. That "ye" might not have been a call for Grandpa, but since it made Leng Liewei happy, Bai Yiran had no reason to dampen the elderly man’s spirits.
After experiencing so much misfortune, a few good things must happen to bring a bit of happiness.
Upon bringing Leng Liewei back to Leng Mansion, Sister Wu and Qiu Zi had already prepared a table full of dishes. Since Qi Hui left, Luna moved back to Leng Mansion with Qiu Zi and Sister Wu, dismissing the previous servants. Emulating Leng Yichen’s way when he lived there, there would be hourly workers regularly responsible for various tasks, leaving after finishing. Luna deeply felt the troubles of having too many people; if it weren’t for Qi Hui colluding with that maid to set her up, she wouldn’t have fallen out with Leng Liewei.
