Rebirth of wealth and freedom starts from the World Cup

Li Yanning casually proposed the idea of ​​recognizing Wu Xianglian as godmother, and just a few words made Wu Xianglian smile from ear to ear.

Wu Xianglian, who had originally planned to leave Hong Kong the next day, now became a godparent. The relationship between the two families instantly warmed up, as if they had really become a family.

Wu Xianglian also excitedly decided to stay a little longer to enjoy this happy time.

Zhao Zixuan didn't say much about this. He felt that as long as his mother had fun, nothing else mattered.

After enjoying the charming sea view of Victoria Harbour for a night, Zhao Zixuan accompanied his mother back to the hotel.

Although Li Yanning invited them to live in his home, Wu Xianglian politely declined.

Wu Xianglian is different from Zhao Zixuan. She never likes to trouble others, no matter whether the other person is an acquaintance or a stranger.

Zhao Zixuan didn't have so many concerns. His principle when he was out was to do whatever he felt comfortable and free.

The most important thing in life is to be happy!
People in Hong Kong like to say this.

Zhao Zixuan also follows the local customs.

During this trip to Hong Kong, Zhao Zixuan had originally hoped to catch a glimpse of Li Chaoren, but unfortunately, this highly-regarded capitalist was busy acquiring important overseas assets and was unable to meet him.

However, he was fortunate enough to get to know other members of the Li family.

Li Zeju has three daughters and one son. In addition to the eldest daughter Li Yanning, there is also the eldest son Li Changxi, who is the little brother who calls Zhao Zixuan "brother-in-law" every time he sees him.

The remaining two daughters are still young, but they are also well-educated and well-mannered daughters of wealthy families.

In order to celebrate the happy event of Li Yanning's adoption as godmother, Li Zeju's wife Wang Fuxin specially set up a family dinner in the Li family mansion and warmly entertained Wu Xianglian and Zhao Zixuan.

During the dinner, the two families were in great joy. Mrs. Li said to Zhao Zixuan meaningfully, "Zixuan, our two families should visit each other more often in the future. Yan Ning has recognized your mother as her godmother. In terms of seniority, she is also your goddaughter."

These words seemed to have a hidden meaning, but Zhao Zixuan always felt something was wrong after hearing them.

But he didn't think much about it. He raised his glass in a cool manner and replied to Mrs. Li with a smile: "Aunt Wang is right. Then I will toast to my... sister."

As he spoke, he gestured to Li Yanning who was sitting next to him.

When Li Yanning heard the title "sister", she felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart.

She looked at Zhao Zixuan's smiling deep eyes and was a little dazed for a moment.

But soon, she regained her composure, elegantly raised her glass and clinked it with Zhao Zixuan's.

In fact, Li Yanning's decision to recognize Wu Xianglian as her godmother was not a momentary impulse.

Since she first met Zhao Zixuan at the Jockey Club, Li Yanning has developed a strong interest in him. His easygoing yet bold personality and the talent he has shown in the business world have deeply attracted her.

However, the two had not had much interaction before, so Li Yanning had been looking for a suitable opportunity to approach him.

This act of recognizing her as her godmother not only allowed her to establish a close relationship with Wu Xianglian, but also created opportunities for further communication between her and Zhao Zixuan.

She believes that the relationship between the two will become closer as time goes by.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. In the Li family's mansion, the gorgeous chandeliers cast soft light, and the exquisite tableware and sumptuous dishes showed the family's wealth and taste.

Mrs. Li sat in the main seat and presided over the family dinner with a smile on her face.

Li Yanning introduced the dishes on the table to Wu Xianglian from time to time. Feeling the warmth of her goddaughter, Wu Xianglian gradually had a happy smile on her face. She felt as if she had really integrated into this family and became one of them.

Zhao Zixuan felt sincerely happy seeing his mother so happy.

"Zixuan, try this fish. This is a dish my mother cooked herself."

Li Yanning picked up a piece of tender fish and gently placed it in Zhao Zixuan's bowl.

Zhao Zixuan thanked him with a smile, then tasted a bite of the fish.

He nodded appreciatively and said, "It's really good, delicious and delicate in taste."

Mrs. Li smiled happily when she heard his praise. She felt that her cooking skills were recognized and she felt a sense of accomplishment.

At this time, Wu Xianglian looked at Li Zeju and Mrs. Li and sighed sincerely: "You two are so loving. When did Mr. Li and Mrs. Li get married?"

"My parents' fate began at a barbecue party. Speaking of it, it really feels like fate."

Li Yanning was happy to tell her godmother about this wonderful past, saying: "That chance encounter left them with an indelible impression of each other. Dad fell in love with Mom at first sight, and after returning to Hong Kong, he began to pursue her passionately. Their feelings quickly heated up, and finally on May 1993, 5, they entered the palace of marriage hand in hand."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li couldn't help but begin to recall the good times, with a happy smile on her face.

She said: "My first impression of him was very good. He was very approachable and had a good character. At that time, I didn't know that he was Li Chaoren's son. I found out later, but I never worried about anything because I was attracted by him as a person, not his family background..."

After hearing this, Zhao Zixuan had a completely new impression of Li Zeju.

In terms of wealth and family background, the Wang family naturally cannot compare with the Li family. The innocent Wang Fuxin neither judges people by money nor has she any worries about "once you enter a wealthy family, it's like entering a deep sea". She lets everything take its course, which makes the eldest son Li very anxious, and he pursues her relentlessly.

There was no romantic twist in their relationship. Both of them were busy people, and their love story mostly relied on long phone calls to advance their emotions.

Wang Fuxin's father was quite worried at first, thinking that his future son-in-law was too rich and would inevitably have a playboy's temper.

When Li Zeju met his future father-in-law, it was at the Hilton Hotel owned by the Li family. The first thing the eldest son of Li asked respectfully was, "Uncle, can I be friends with your daughter?"

Because of this sentence, the future father-in-law's worries suddenly disappeared.

Li Chaoren also has an open attitude towards his son's marriage: "I don't care about the social status of the couple. As long as my son likes the girl and the girl comes from a decent family and is preferably Chinese, that's fine."

On May 1993, 5, the newlywed Li Dagong, who had just taken the position of Deputy Managing Director of Cheung Kong Group, got married. Chinese newspapers in Hong Kong and other places reported on this wealthy wedding banquet, exaggerating its luxury.

A small episode at the wedding banquet was that Mr. Li got in a maroon Rolls-Royce with license plate number 117 to pick up the bride early in the morning, but his brother Li Zekai did not go with him.

Later, Li Zekai explained: "Many brothers have already helped... and Zeju asked me to stay at home to help."

In fact, it was not until the motorcade that picked up the bride returned to the Li residence at noon that Li Zekai arrived late. Some media seized this opportunity to make a fuss, saying that the Li brothers were not on good terms.

After marriage, Wang Fuxin has always maintained a virtuous and low-key style, and has won a solid position in the Li family. She loves music and has good taste, and Li Zeju often accompanies her to enjoy concerts.

In summing up his life as a wealthy man, Wang Fuxin bluntly said: "A wife should obey her husband, and a husband should respect his wife."

This sentence also reveals the secret of her happy marriage for so many years. After listening to Mrs. Li's story, Wu Xianglian was inspired: "Yes, the most important thing between husband and wife is respect and trust. It is easy to say that we should treat each other with respect, but in fact it requires both husband and wife to have enough tolerance, understanding and communication skills. When facing differences and conflicts, both parties need to communicate frankly and think from each other's perspective to find the best solution. At the same time, we must learn to appreciate each other's strengths and efforts, and give each other enough support and encouragement."

At this point, she suddenly looked at Zhao Zixuan and warned him, "Son, you must remember what I just said. This way, when you meet a good girl in the future, you will know how to get along with her sincerely..."

Listening to his mother's mumbling, Zhao Zixuan smiled slightly and did not comment.

In fact, he really wanted to say, "Sir, times have changed," but thinking about the current occasion, it was obviously not appropriate.

At this time, Li Zeju, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up: "Zixuan is an excellent child. Among young people, I have not seen anyone who can surpass his achievements. If we Yan Ning can find a son-in-law like Zixuan in the future, we will be relieved."

Mrs. Li exchanged glances with her husband and immediately understood his deep meaning. She turned to face Zhao Zixuan and said with a smile: "Zixuan, what do you think of our Yan Ning?"

At the dinner table, the atmosphere became subtle because of Li Zeju's sudden question.

Zhao Zixuan didn't expect that the topic would suddenly be brought to himself. He was slightly stunned, then looked up at Li Zeju and Mrs. Li, and saw the expectation flashing in their eyes.

He took a deep breath and replied with a smile: "Uncle Li, Aunt Wang, as for Yan Ning, I can only say that she is one of the most outstanding and charming women I have ever met."

“Her talent, wisdom and beauty are unforgettable. Although we have only known each other for a short time, I can already feel her uniqueness. Not only is she excellent at work, but she is also sincere and warm to people.”

"Every time I communicate with her, I learn a lot from her. If I have to say anything about her, it is that she is a woman who is very worthy of respect and admiration."

Hearing Zhao Zixuan's high evaluation of herself, Li Yanning showed a surprised and shy smile on her face.

She looked at Zhao Zixuan gratefully, then quickly lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look directly into his affectionate gaze.

Li Zeju and Mrs. Li were very satisfied with Zhao Zixuan's answer.

They saw Zhao Zixuan's sincere appreciation and respect for Li Yanning, and also felt his open attitude towards a possible future relationship, which made them feel more favorable towards Zhao Zixuan.

Mrs. Li took the opportunity to further improve the relationship: "Zixuan, since you admire Yan Ning so much, you should come often in the future. The door of our Li family will always be open to you."

Li Zekai raised his glass, glanced at Zhao Zixuan meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Maybe one day in the future, our two families can really become one family."

Zhao Zixuan glanced at his mother and saw that she neither refuted nor showed any displeasure. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was just a meal time and he seemed to have been "sold".

But if you think about it carefully, it is unlikely that anyone can resist the sugar-coated bullets of the Li family.

What's more, her mother was just an ordinary housewife. Compared with the Li family who were as wealthy as the sea, she obviously seemed a little immature.

With the help of many family members, Li Yanning sat at the dinner table, feeling an indescribable joy and anticipation in his heart.

Zhao Zixuan's praise made her feel extremely warm, and at the same time, it also strengthened her determination to get closer to him.

She knew very well that although there was a big gap between them, matters of the heart were never measured by worldly standards.

She believed that she had enough charm and wisdom to attract Zhao Zixuan and make him see her true value.

Mrs. Li was sitting nearby and keenly caught the light in Li Yanning's eyes.

She smiled slightly, secretly thinking about how to create more opportunities for the young couple. As the saying goes, no one knows a daughter better than her mother. She knew Li Yanning's feelings for Zhao Zixuan, and she believed that Zhao Zixuan was a person worthy of trust.

So, she decided to add fuel to the fire and do her best to promote this marriage.

Li Zekai also saw through his niece's little thoughts. Although he usually liked to joke, he seemed particularly serious at this critical moment.

He raised his glass and toasted Zhao Zixuan, and at the same time took every opportunity to praise his niece's various virtues, trying to bring the two together.

The two families enjoyed the dinner very much.

After the family dinner, Li Yanning used the excuse of sending Zhao Zixuan and Wu Xianglian back to the hotel and left the Li family mansion with them.

On the way back to the hotel, she took the initiative to talk to Zhao Zixuan, trying to find common topics.

Zhao Zixuan also felt her enthusiasm, and the two of them had a very pleasant chat.

Wu Xianglian watched the two of them chatting happily and was secretly happy in her heart.

She felt that Li Yanning was a smart and considerate girl, and a perfect match for her son.

But Zhao Zixuan is still too young now, and he hasn’t even reached the legal age for marriage. Is it really appropriate to talk about marriage so early?

Back at the hotel, Wu Xianglian pulled her son to her side and began to question him about his attitude toward Li Yanning and whether he had any plans to have a deeper relationship with her.

Facing his mother's questioning, Zhao Zixuan smiled helplessly.

He understood his mother's intentions and knew that she was very concerned about his marriage.

So, he answered seriously: "Mom, Yan Ning is indeed a very good girl, and we had a pleasant exchange today. However, marriage is a big deal and needs to be considered carefully. I am still young and want to focus on my career first. So, I am not in a hurry now."

After listening to this, Wu Xianglian frowned and asked, "Do you have someone in your heart? These past few days when you were sleeping, I heard you call Yuyan 98 times. Who is Yuyan?"

Zhao Zixuan was surprised. He remembered that he had never mentioned anything about Cheng Yuyan in front of his mother.

So, did I really call Cheng Yuyan's name while I was asleep?
And it was called 98 times, which is outrageous?
"Mom, did you hear wrong?"

Zhao Zixuan tried to quibble.

However, Wu Xianglian's next words caused his brain to short-circuit.

"There is another person named Jieyu, and you called her that 784 times."

"You called Jieyu's name in your dream last night, 785 times, one more than last time."

Zhao Zixuan: “…”

and many more!

Why does this line sound so familiar? I feel like I've heard it somewhere before?

Could it be that my mother is acting out A Chinese Odyssey with me here?
No!

Even if they are Jingjing and Zixia, I am not Zhizunbao! (End of this chapter)
