Chapter 1618: Everyone standing by is family

The conversation between the two broke up, but no one left their hands and went to the study or changed rooms to stay alone.
When I woke up, the atmosphere was still a bit cold, just not so tit-for-tat.
"Mom, can I discuss something with you?" While eating breakfast, Aiden suddenly proposed to Mary that he wanted to invite someone for Christmas.
"Is it your girlfriend?" Li Zitao asked in amusement, when he wanted to come there would be no one other than his girlfriend.
"No." Aiden shook his head and looked at his mother. "Ariel, I want to invite her to come home for Christmas."
Ariel Xu, Mary thought of the name as soon as possible and looked at Li Zitao involuntarily.
"I didn't talk to him about anything." Li Zitao denied that the matter had anything to do with him.
In fact, he was also surprised that Aiden would suddenly propose to invite Ariel to Christmas at home.
He had thought about it like this. Ariel now has only one person. Staying alone during the festival will make her look more lonely than usual and make her miss her mother more.
Li Zitao is often worried that she will be engulfed by loneliness, which is a terrible emotion that will make people make many wrong decisions in extreme situations.
This is not what Li Zitao wants to see, but he also assured Mary that Lilith is special.
She is the only special case, and this will not happen again except Lilith.
However, it is now proposed by Aiden, which has nothing to do with him.
"You, want to invite Ariel Xu to come home for Christmas?" Mary had to ask again, because she wanted to know what Aiden thought.
"Yes, Ariel, I think she will be lonely alone." Aiden said evasively, because he knew that his mother would be very angry.
The dining table became silent, only the sound of the collision between the spoon and the plate.
"Okay, I agree." Mary said, she threw away her napkin, and quickly turned to leave.
Li Zitao wanted to get up, and finally opened his mouth to sit down again, and said to Aiden; "Not yet, I think you are more suitable than me."
Before entering the room, Aiden felt his mother's anger.
Adjusting his emotions, Aiden walked into the room with the warmest smile and closed the door and said, "Mom, how are you?"
"What do you think?" Mary asked sullenly.
Aiden smiled bitterly: "I know you are not happy, but can you listen to me explain?"
"I'm listening." Mary said with a sullen face.
Aiden sat next to her and said softly, "I want to invite her to be a guest at home, make friends with her, and make her think that this home accepts her."
"In exchange for her friendship and support?" Mary saw through his purpose at a glance.
"Yes." Aiden didn't deny it.
Mary looked at him sternly. About a few minutes later, when Aiden was already agitated, he asked, "Are you worried that this will send wrong messages?"
"For example?" Aiden didn't quite understand what ‘error message’ meant.
"For example, she was welcomed by this family and could formally be part of it. For example, as a family, she also has a share of everything in this family."
Aiden couldn't help but fall into silence. He did not think so much before, but he still felt that this kind of thing would not happen.
"I don't think this will happen." Aiden said while thinking, he didn't think it would happen.
Even if it happened is many years later, it is what he needs to worry about in the future, and he believes that he can cope with it at that time.
This is not arrogance, but self-confidence.
If he doesn't have this confidence, how can he afford the Li's banner, let alone exceed it?
Every time I think of the word ‘beyond’, Aiden feels pressure.
It is hard for him or anyone to go beyond the father's achievements.
"I don't agree with you. It's dangerous to do so." Mary wanted to emphasize her own opinion and use this to convince Aiden.
Aiden shook his head and took his mother’s hand with a smile.
There’s no danger, mom, if I can’t even handle an Ariel.

"So, how can I take over the Li family and manage this huge empire."
His words could not help Mary reflect on whether he imagined that he was too fragile and naive to make a correct judgment.
Yes, Mary thinks so. Looking at Aiden, who is taller and stronger than herself, she apologizes and said: "I'm sorry."
"Sorry what?" Aiden smiled incredulously; "Mom, you don't need to apologize, I know you love me very much, and every decision you make is for me."
"So no need to apologize." Aiden said hugging his mother.
Mary embraced his shoulder with relief and said, "If you think this is right, then let go and do it!"
"Thank you for your support, mother." Aiden said sincerely on her shoulder ~EbookFREE.me~ "We need to be united. Only when the family is united can we be strong."
"As long as we have common interests, those standing by us... are family." Aiden didn't want to stimulate his mother, so he blurred the concept of "family".
But Mary could understand what he meant, and she wasn't a three-year-old who could be fooled casually.
"As long as you know what you are doing." Mary encouraged him to pat his back, leaving him the time to turn around and leave.
In fact, she also needs a quiet place to enlighten herself to accept this unacceptable fact.
‘Recently, the Governor of California and Republican Edwards of the Republican Party are deeply involved in the scandal. His pictures of several women in the Heatwave Club have appeared in major media newspapers. ’
‘And insiders broke the news that Franz Edward’s private life was extremely chaotic. ’
‘What’s more surprising is that this veteran Republican has extremely weird sexual habits, such as...toe, Japanese rope binding, suffocating pleasure...’
‘People are amazed that there is such a big difference between the real Francis and the image he shows to the outside world. Will there be more girls or mistresses in his life...’
"Our report quotes the Tribune's comments, right?" Li Zitao found that the New York Times and several other newspapers related to him used the Tribune's introduction.
"Yes, we used a lot of quotes, but it does not represent our position." Ava explained: "Actually, we are looking for something to suppress this scandal."
There are a lot of ‘masculine materials’ in the think tank. They just need to find out what gigantic materials should be released to suppress this gossip without affecting themselves.
