After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage-Chapter 123 - : Chen Bao vs Deadbeat Dad, Angering Someone to Death Without Indemnity

Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Chen Bao vs Deadbeat Dad, Angering Someone to Death Without Indemnity

Shen Jiangqing walked over to have a look. “Mommy asked the servant to check it out.”

The servant fiddled for a while and discovered it was a network issue, so he hurriedly contacted the workers to fix the network.

But what was strange was that only the TV network was not receiving, while the internet in the other rooms was working fine.

Li Group.

Li Lingyang finished a meeting and glanced at his wristwatch; it was already the time for the children to come home from school.

Recently, since Chen Bao had just returned, he had been trying to control his schedule to get home early to be with them every day.

At this moment, his cellphone rang. After seeing the caller ID, he answered, and the voice of a little boy, listless with hunger, came through…

“Crappy dad, when are you coming home? I’m starving to death!”

Li Lingyang’s tall frame paused slightly as he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the scenery below, his eyebrow raised, “I’m still at the company, it’ll take me at least half an hour to get home. If you’re hungry, don’t wait for me, tell the kitchen to start the meal.”

“No way!” Chen Bao snorted in response, “Don’t you understand people with the last name Shen yet? She wants to make a show of herself in front of you, saying that if you don’t come back, none of us are allowed to eat!”

Li Lingyang’s grip on his phone tightened suddenly, “Is that what Jiangqing actually said?”

“What else?” Chen Bao, of course, wouldn’t say that the TV internet cable was broken, then Chengcheng threw a tantrum, locked himself in the room, and that was when Shen Jiangqing took the opportunity to not let anyone eat.

Li Lingyang found it a bit unbelievable. He often worked overtime, but there had never been a precedent for waiting for him to return before starting the meal.

“You don’t believe it, do you?” Chen Bao, as if guessing his thoughts, said directly, “Then I’ll video call you and let Doudou tell you!”

“No need.” Li Lingyang wasn’t about to make a big issue over this trivial matter and said straightforwardly, “You take Doudou to eat something. If Jiangqing asks, just say I told you to eat.”

Chen Bao plaintively drew out his tone, “When we were in the orphanage, Grandma Zhuo never shortchanged our food. I never expected that after returning to our biological father’s house, we’d still be starving. When I think about it, I might as well have stayed at the orphanage, crappy dad, don’t you think?”

Li Lingyang was almost laughed by the anger, “…”

Was this little guy insinuating that he mistreated him?

Half an hour later, a luxurious car slowly came to a stop at the entrance of Yudu Dragon Bay Villa.

The lines were sleek, and the Maybach logo was aspirational, yet unattainable.

The car door opened, and a pair of gleaming leather shoes stepped out first, followed by a towering and slender figure. The man was dressed in sharp suit, his facial features were deep and sharp, and his eyes held an eagle-like glimmer, his thin lips pressed together showing his displeasure.

Shen Jiangqing, along with a few servants, lined up at the door to greet him.

She had a spring-like smile on her face.

But upon touching the gloom on his face, she startled for a second, then hurriedly approached and asked, “What’s wrong, is there something upsetting at the company?”

“You and the children have been waiting for me?” Li Lingyang responded with a question instead of an answer.

Shen Jiangqing bit her lower lip sheepishly and said, “I know you’ve been getting off work earlier recently, so I thought it would be nice for you to join us for dinner.”

To her surprise, Li Lingyang’s handsome face instantly turned chillier as he said directly, “But the children are growing, their digestion is already faster than adults’, and by not letting them eat, how can they be healthy?”

Shen Jiangqing’s smile froze on her face, “No, I didn’t stop them from eating!”

Li Lingyang strode into the hall, his cold gaze falling towards the living room.

In the living room, Chen Bao and Doudou were playing with Legos, their faces deflated, lacking enthusiasm.

They only lazily looked up at him when they saw him return.

Shen Jiangqing felt a sinking feeling in her heart. Did that little brat run upstairs to tattle to Li Lingyang just now?

She was truly wronged!

She hadn’t done anything yet and hurriedly explained, “Aling, it’s not what you’re thinking. I don’t know what Chen Bao told you, but I saw that Doudou had finished all the snacks in his backpack, so he probably wasn’t hungry. If we were to eat so much rashly, what if it led to indigestion? And… some habits need to be cultivated from childhood, Chengcheng wouldn’t fuss about eating early.”

Li Lingyang detected the disdain in Shen Jiangqing’s words. She thought Chen Bao’s habits were bad because he grew up in an orphanage!

But precisely because he grew up in an orphanage, there are some things he wanted to make up to him.

Having had neither a mother’s love nor a father’s…

For him to have grown up like this was beyond his expectations.

“Indeed, habits should be cultivated slowly, but if he needs to be so restrained even in his own home that his childlike innocence and nature are smothered, what do you think he could achieve when he grows up?”

Shen Jiangqing’s lips puckered in grievance, wanting to say that she didn’t know if it was this little jerk who messed up and broke the TV network.

But she feared that Li Lingyang would then realize that this little guy’s talent in network-related matters was higher than Chengcheng’s…

She bit her lip and decided to just endure it.

Li Lingyang walked over to Chen Bao and Doudou, while Chengcheng was reading a book in another part of the living room, sitting upright, as if the two groups belonged to two different worlds, completely without interaction.

He frowned, “Why are you sitting here, not playing with Chengcheng?”

Chen Bao narrowed his sharp little eyes, “Heh, he wants to watch TV, we two definitely don’t have the privilege to play with him.”

Li Lingyang, “You’ve been fighting again?”

“Who dares? That’s the awesome young master of Li Family who will inherit everything in the future. Me, a poor little guy without a biological mommy’s care, fight with him? Wouldn’t that be just waiting to get slapped?” Although Chen Bao said so, the movements of his hands putting the Lego pieces together didn’t stop, and he just managed to insert a small piece into a slot that Doudou had been struggling with for a long time.

With a snap, the piece clicked into place, and Doudou danced with joy, seemingly not understanding the subtle jibes between the big man and the little man.

Li Lingyang could see the rift between Chen Bao and Chengcheng with one glance, “Here with me, you and Chengcheng are treated the same. Stop being so sarcastic as if I’ve wronged you.”

“Hmph!” Crappy dad, you haven’t wronged me, but you indulge a bad woman in wronging me!

“What did you humph for?”

“Humph humph humph humph humph!”

“…” Li Lingyang’s handsome face turned livid with anger; he was really about to be driven mad by this kid.

Still humming, was he a pig?

Taking a deep breath, he picked up a Little Bud and took the two little ones to the dining room and also called Chengcheng over for dinner.

Chengcheng’s eyes were slightly red, possibly from shortness of breath and frustration.

Li Lingyang did not ask much but simply offered a few words of comfort and, in the course of it, suggested taking them to the Seaside Resort for the weekend to relax.

Hearing the words “Seaside Resort,” Chen Bao’s eyes brightened.

As far as he knew, wasn’t Mommy going to take Ningning to the Seaside Resort?

What a coincidence!

“Can we go to the Seaside Resort?” he promptly suggested.
