EXCERPT: "So what did you want to tell me?" "Dad, you have terrible skills in picking up women!" "I don't think I heard you properly. What did you just say?"

Li Yuchen sensed the danger and quickly held out his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Wait wait Dad. I wasn't insulting you, I was only stating facts!"

Chapter 166 — Big Brother, Are You Ill?

"Why are you so noisy? You this old man behaving like a child. Even Xiao Chen is more mature than you." Li Qianye roasted him.

Li Junmo straightened up quickly, "Xiao Chen? You're joking, right? Since when? He's obviously more childish and immature."

"I was actually talking about Yichen. You need to meet him, he's so calm and collected. You have a lot to learn from him!" Li Qianye said in disgust. He was beginning to get worried about handing the company over to this scatterbrain in future.

"Yichen? Who is that?" Li Junmo thought for a moment, then turned to look at Li Chuanmo dramatically, "Wait Big brother, so you had twins back then?"

Dead silence.

Then Zhang Heying aimed and delivered a slap to the back of his head accurately, "You! How could I have given birth to such a— Ai, quickly go back to where you came from, before you make my blood pressure shoot through the roof."

Li Junmo was genuinely confused. Was he wrong? Then, where did a Yichen come from?

Li Chuanmo cleared his confusion, "He's my son from Yueran, my soon to be wife."

Li Junmo: "..."

Then he said incredulously, "Big brother, how could you have another son already? Isn't this speed a little too fast?"

His family members were exasperated. Zhang Heying turned to her husband, "Old Man, should we change his school? Who knows what they're teaching them there for him to become worse than before?"

Before Li Qianye could say that the problem was not the school but their son since Li Chuanmo attended the same school, Li Junmo surrendered, "Wait wait, I'm sorry. But I really don't understand. Can't you just say it in plain terms?"

"What's hard to understand here? Your future sister-in-law had a child from her previous marriage. We have accepted him and consider him our second grandson now!" Zhang Heying said with a strong momentum.

Li Junmo took this in, then said, "Aha, now I get it. You should have just said that earlier, why were you all sounding so complicated?"

Then he turned to Li Chuanmo, twisting around his seatbelt to see him better, "Big brother, you scored big this time! I can't wait to see this boy everyone thinks so highly of. But nobody told me this earlier, I would have bought a gift for him as well."

Li Chuanmo was unconcerned. "It's not a big deal. I can buy my son anything he wants."

Li Junmo wrinkled his nose, "No no no, it's not the same. I'm his uncle, so I have to give my nephew a proper meeting gift. Let's see, what does he like?"

"Books."

"You mean comics? I have a few, but that's so cheap."

"No, I mean actual books. Not like you know what that means."

Li Junmo wailed, "Big brother, are you looking down on me? I read books too!" He shut up immediately he saw his mother raise her hand. He was really in danger of going bald already, and they weren't even home yet!

Li Qianye announced, "Once you get home, you should start following your brother to the company. You need to get whipped into shape. All these numerous bad habits you've acquired must be gotten rid of, because I won't hand over our family's company to an immature brat like you."

"Noooooo." Li Junmo started wailing again. He came home to enjoy himself and spend time with his family, not to work.

Then he stopped. "Wait, why are we suddenly talking about handing over the company to me? What happened to Big brother?"

Then something seemed to click in his mind. He turned, trying to see Li Chuanmo's face clearly while genuine worry began to show on his face, "Big brother, are you ill? Is it that serious?"

This time, it was Wu Taehan that had the most serious reaction. He had had on his earphones to give the family some privacy, so he didn't hear most of their conversation.

The current song just finished playing and was about to transition when in the silence, he suddenly heard Second Young Master say that First Young Master was ill.

He stepped on the brakes sharply out of shock, startling everyone.

He quickly apologized, "I'm very sorry, I was startled."

No one blamed him. Wasn't it their own family member that wanted to kill them by saying nonsense?

After Wu Taehan resumed driving, Li Qianye turned to Li Chuanmo, "Chuanmo, are you sure you won't reconsider? Will you really feel at ease turning the company over to this immature brat?"

'But Dad, Mom said we should learn manners and not call each other names.' Li Junmo said inwardly. He wasn't bold enough to voice it out.

Li Chuanmo's lips turned up at the corners, "It's nothing a period of internship won't fix. And I'll be there to guide him as well, so he'll be fine. Don't worry Father, he will do well."

Besides, that would not happen for a few more years, so there was plenty of time.

Li Qianye sighed deeply, sounding like an old man, "Well, if you say so. I'm counting on you Son."

He was very shocked when Li Chuanmo told him about his plans. He had always thought of him as his successor, and had even written it into his will. But apparently, Li Chuanmo had his own considerations, and after much discussion, he and his wife had chosen to support their first son in his decisions.

Then turning to Li Junmo, he said, "You had better listen to your Big brother and learn properly. If you dare play around, I will kick you out! My Li family doesn't raise idlers."

Still, he planned to keep trying to convince Li Chuanmo to change his mind. He was convinced that Li Chuanmo was very capable, he could handle two companies at the same time. It was only that he would be overworked a bit. But now that he had a capable wife by his side, it shouldn't be a problem.

If he were to truly leave his family's company to Junmo, would he even be able to rest in peace?

Li Junmo: "..."

'I don't even want to inherit the company at all!' He muttered under his breath.

What a joke! Why would he want to make more work for himself? Only people like his Big brother could handle a company like the Li Conglomerate.

He made up his mind secretly. Once he went back to school, he would not come back to this country!

It was a good thing Li Qianye could not read minds. If not, he would have delivered another slap to his son's head!

I decided to alternate between long and short chapters, depending on the story!
