Chapter 1066: He Would Not Betray His Beliefs nor His Country
“Qingcang, I know you have a girlfriend already, but you are not yet married. As long as you are not married, I still have a chance. Besides, I have the right to pursue my happiness.”
Xu Yuan thought that she could still change his mind as long as he was not married. Maybe he would come to realize that they were meant for each other.
Life was a gamble and she wanted to take the chance.
“You don’t have a chance.” LI Qingcang’s voice was devoid of any emotion as he glanced at the study. “Xu Yuan, you’re not getting any younger. Don’t let your parents worry or go out of their way to get things done for you.”
Xu Yuan’s face turned red. Why was she so unlucky to love such an unfeeling man?
“Qingcang, how can you say that…?” Xu Yuan stamped her foot in anger. Not only did Li Qingcang reciprocate her feelings, but he had also reproached her. She was a pretty girl and had already taken a bold step to confess her feelings. Did he have to be so arrogant?
“Xu Yuan, take care of your parents. I’m leaving.”
Li Qingcang walked out of the house. He drove off in his car, after keeping the booklet from Professor Xu.
Xu Yuan’s hand clenched into a fist as she watched Li Qingcang drive off. She ran up to the study.
“Dad, have you thought about what I told you earlier?”
Xu Yuan plopped herself on a chair and looked intently at her father. Professor Xu was working hard in front of a computer. He looked up at his daughter.
Xu Yuan had only gone overseas for a few months. How did she become so opinionated?
“Xu Yuan, My team and I have worked very hard all these years on the project. I cannot possibly give this away to someone else.:.”
“Dad, you’re not giving it away. It’s a mutual benefit. Think about it. You have worked so hard in your life only to be rewarded with an old house and a worthless title. Did you know that the other party is willing to pay you a billion for this?”
Professor Xu’s heart ached as he gazed at Xu Yuan. She was his daughter, born to him when he was at an old age. That was why he and his wife always doted on her and gave in to her demands. They have spoiled her thoroughly. She had grown up to be willful and unreasonable. Now she was even thinking of taking away his project.
“Money? I don’t need money. Xu Yuan, you’re still young. Some things are not about money. This is about principles.”
He spent so much time and effort on the project. It would benefit thousands of people if the project was successful. His name would live on forever.
“Principles? Dad? Are your principles worth any money?” Xu Yuan could not understand why Professor Xu was so stubborn. “You sweat blood and tears for your career. How did they treat both of us in the end?”
Professor Xu stared out of the window. He looked far away at a wall, overgrown with weeds. Life was short. He spent his whole life in this country. He could not betray his beliefs nor his country. He loved his country very much.
“Xu Yuan, you should know what kind of person I am by now. Even if I lose all of my money, I will never betray my country or my career.”
Xu Yuan was outraged. She pleaded, “Dad, if you don’t help me, my life will be over…!”
Professor Xu’s face was resolute as he said, “You’ve been an adult since your 18th birthday. You need to start being responsible for your actions..”
