Forced to Date a Big Shot

Chapter 642: Cheers

Li Xuekai was still unaware of the bustle and laughter in the laboratory.

He was sitting on pins and needles at the dining table. He could not wait to escape this family.

He could not understand how his family could be so calculative.

He frowned as he watched Mr. Li praise Li Xuelei and ate silently.

If not for his grandfather’s birthday, he would have left long ago.

Just as he was deep in thought, a pair of chopsticks picked up a piece of pork ribs and placed it in his bowl. Li Xuekai looked up and saw his grandfather’s concerned gaze. “Xiao Kai, you’ve lost weight. You haven’t eaten well recently, right? Eat more.”

Li Xuekai was stunned and nodded.

Li Xuelei and Mr. Li looked at each other.

Mr. Li continued, “Dad, Xiao Lei’s project is about to be completed. Do you think the company should give Xiao Lei a position? It’ll be easier to manage when the project is in production!”

Grandpa Li ignored him and looked at Li Xuekai before saying, “Xiao Kai, what project do you want to do? You don’t have a father to invest in you, but you still have a grandfather! A person like Li Xuelei who spent money to get into Huaxia University might be able to settle a project, but a person like you will definitely have better achievements. Grandpa will support you with all my heart!”

His words made Mr. Li and Li Xuelei unable to raise their heads.

Li Xuekai smiled and said, “Grandpa, there’s no need. I...”

“He doesn’t need you to invest in him! He has that Sister Xi now and she has a huge project worth hundreds of millions! Dad, if you suck up to him here, he won’t appreciate it at all. Faced with such an unfilial grandson, why do you have to do this?”

Mr. Li pointed at Li Xuelei again and said, “Dad, can you take a look at this grandson? He’s in the right. Since the project has been completed, can’t you arrange a position for him?”

Grandpa Li finally stood up in anger. He looked at his grandson, who was sitting there, allowing Mr. Li to criticize him and not leaving. He knew that this was because it’s his birthday, so he was compromising.

He was so angry that his chest heaved. “I’m not eating this meal! Scram!”

Mr. Li did not leave. “Dad, you...”

Before he could finish speaking, Grandpa Li strode out.

Initially, he only wanted to have a meal with Li Xuekai, Mr. Li, and himself. However, he was so angry now.

If he left, Xiao Kai could leave this place and not be angered by this.

When he left, Mr. Li picked up his coat. Before he chased after him, he glared at Li Xuekai. “Look, it’s all because of you that your grandfather doesn’t acknowledge Xiao Lei! Your grandfather’s birthday was also ruined by you! You unfilial son! Bastard!”

After saying that, he rushed out.

Li Xuekai: “...”

He stared at the table full of food and suddenly felt that this father of his was really ridiculous.

Li Xuelei narrowed his eyes and said, “Li Xuekai, what do you mean by this?”

Li Xuekai was stunned.

Li Xuelei said angrily, “Are you the one who’s not letting Grandpa give me a position? Let me tell you, I’m the eldest grandson of the Li family! The Li family’s company is destined to be mine! And you... are just a dog in the grave!”

As they were speaking, a service staff walked in. “May I ask, who will foot the bill?”

Grandpa Li left in a hurry and Mr. Li chased after him even more hurriedly. The two of them left without paying.

After the service staff said this, Li Xuelei subconsciously took out his bank card. Just as he was about to hand it to the service staff, a few men and women suddenly rushed in from the door. One look and he could tell that they were students.

“Brainiac Li Xuekai? It’s really you!”

“Why are you here? The two people who just left are the chairman and general manager of the Li family, right? Could it be that you guys...”

Someone said, “I’ve already told you that Brainiac is from the Li family. Do you believe me now? Otherwise, why would he come here to eat?”

Li Xuekai knew these people. On the day he started school, it was these seniors who’d picked him up. While he was hesitating, someone said, “Brainiac, we’re going to your company to intern. Can you help us greet them?”

While the few of them greeted him warmly, Li Xuelei retracted the bank card that he had extended. With a dark smile, he said, “Isn’t that right? Li Xuekai, you are the eldest son of the Li family, so are you going to foot the bill?”

Li Xuekai: “?”

A meal here cost tens of thousands, but he only had a few thousand in his bank card. How could he afford it? Li Xuelei clearly knew that his bank card had been stopped. He was purposely making things difficult for him!

Li Xuekai frowned.

Li Xuelei slapped his own head. “Damn, look at my memory. Weren’t you chased out of the house by Dad? He said that you’re ignorant and incompetent and only know how to fool around with Sister Xi every day. Forget it, let me settle the bill!”

He then passed the bank card to the service staff and said arrogantly, “Bill.”

The moment he said this, the few people who were about to suck up to Li Xuekai instantly turned their gazes to Li Xuelei. Someone smiled and said, “So it’s Li Xuelei! I heard that you and Li Xuekai are brothers?”

Li Xuelei smiled. “That’s right. Xiao Kai is my younger brother.”

The few people immediately fawned. “So you’re the eldest son of the Li family! Li Xuekai was chased out of the Li family? What’s going on?”

Li Xuelei sneered.

Li Xuekai stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, he heard Li Xuelei recount what had happened. Those people were cooperating with Li Xuelei to mock him.

“Tsk, you don’t want to be the Li family’s heir and insist on helping others?”

“Then from now on, the Li family will be yours!”

“Senior Li Xuelei, please take care of us in the future! Can you help us greet your elders and let us enter to intern?”

Li Xuelei smiled and said, “No problem. We’re all classmates. It’s our company. Just say hello.”

“Wow, Li Xuelei, you’re the best!”

“...”

As they spoke, Li Xuekai silently left the private room and boarded the car back to school.

Grandpa did not know that Mr. Li had confiscated his bank card, and his pride prevented him from saying this. Moreover, Sister Xi’s ten thousand yuan allowance was enough for him to live on.

He had never been a profligate person and was holding his breath.

Didn’t Dad look down on him?

Did he think that he had embarrassed the Li family by working for Sister Xi?

Ha.

These people were always short-sighted. Everything was about benefits, but he did not know what research meant. He did not know what he wanted.

Even if he did not manage to produce the light source machine in the end, so what if he was chased away from the Li family? It was enough for him to stay by her side for the rest of his life.

After Li Xuekai figured this out, the car returned to the school.

He alighted and walked toward the laboratory. Just as he reached the entrance, he heard the cheers inside.
