Five years ago, Gu Momo saved the Empire's richest man and was forced to conceive a child.
Five years later, she returned强势 with countless secret identities. Countless tyants knelt before...
The moment Li Xiao saw Old Master Li, tears of emotion welled up in his eyes. He rushed to Old Master Li's side, his eyes filled with guilt and self-reproach. "Master, it was all my fault back then. I failed to protect Mr. and Madam!"
Old Master Li's deep gaze was fixed on Butler Li Xiao's face. "Li Xiao, what exactly happened back then?!"
"You're still here, but where's my son? And my daughter-in-law, Mo Yan..."
The moment Old Master Rong saw Li Xiao, his beard trembled with anxiety. "That's right, Lao Xiao! What exactly happened back then!"
Five years ago, when the Li family underwent a major upheaval, he keenly sensed that things were definitely not as simple as he had imagined.
Originally, the Rong family also wanted to take the opportunity to interfere in the Li family's affairs and help the Li family out, but in that year, the Rong family was ambushed by a powerful enemy in the international market. The Rong family's overseas task force was seriously injured, and the Rong family had to go to reinforce them.
However, not long after the Rong family reinforced the overseas task force, the Rong family in the capital was attacked by unknown individuals.
The Rong family barely escaped death that time, but thinking about it now...
Could it be that the other party deliberately diverted the Rong family's attention back then, so as to concentrate all their efforts on dealing with the Li family?
Li Xiao's aged eyes were filled with self-reproach. He almost dared not look up and meet the eyes of the old master Li. "Master, I..."
Just then, he felt a deep, heavy feeling on his shoulders. He turned his head and met Li Zhanting's deep eyes, which were filled with a gentle smile. "Uncle Xiao, don't be in a hurry. Sit down and talk slowly?"
Unexpectedly, Butler Li Xiao suddenly knelt on the ground, his expression agitated, and said, "Master, Young Master! I'm so sorry for what happened! The explosion at the port dock back then was caused by someone disguised as one of my men who infiltrated! If I had been more aware of this earlier, neither you nor your wife would have suffered that fate!"
He became increasingly agitated as he spoke, his emotions seemingly out of control. Just then, Gu Momo's clear, cold voice rang out:
"If you really want to repent and start anew, then put away your inappropriate emotions and deal with the current situation properly. In the face of important matters, you can't even manage your basic emotions. How can you be considered the Li family's butler?"
Her clear, cold voice, like the icy wind blowing from high mountains and snow, carried a power that shook people's hearts.
Li Xiao's pupils contracted slightly, and his gaze towards Gu Momo was filled with deep shock and admiration.
She looks so young, yet her demeanor and actions exude a maturity and charisma far beyond her years. Such an outstanding person... no wonder even Young Master Zhan Ting was captivated by her...
A deep sense of guilt appeared on Li Xiao's face, and he quickly composed himself, saying, "Young Madam is right."
Gu Momo's eyelids twitched violently upon hearing this. When did she say that she was the young mistress of the Li family?!
But Li Xiao said seriously, "Five years ago, before the port explosion, the Li family's cargo ship was attacked by countless men in black. They were all agile and well-prepared. According to Mr. and Mrs., almost all of them came for the Blood Jade Ring."
"At the time, in order to draw away the enemy's main fighting force, I was responsible for jumping ship and escaping with the fake blood jade ring. My husband and wife had agreed to come later, but I never expected that the other side intended to take them down with them! The entire port was buried in a sea of fire, and my husband and wife's fate is unknown! If I had known that the other side wanted to take my husband and wife down with them, I would never have left first!"
A cold glint flashed in Li Zhanting's and Gu Momo's eyes at the same time. They had indeed come for the Blood Jade Ring!
Gu Momo was about to ask something when Li Zhanting paused for a moment, then said, "Uncle Xiao, what happened to Mom and Dad isn't your fault. Good people are always protected by heaven; maybe... Mom and Dad are safe and sound now?"
My parents' situation involves too many things, and the internal relationships within the Li family are intricate and complex. I don't know how many people are secretly watching the Li family.
Given the previous incident where a spy was planted in the Li family, it's best to keep it a secret until things are resolved with my parents...
"All safe and sound?" Butler Li Xiao's expression crumbled slightly. "Can they really be safe and sound?"
Old Master Li and Old Master Rong looked at each other, their deep gazes seemingly sensing something, and their expressions became serious.
Just then, Mo Feng came in from outside. "Master Ting, Master Feng is here. He's right outside. Should we let Master Feng...?"
Upon hearing Li Zhanfeng's name, Old Master Li's expression immediately tightened. "Yes, where is that brat Zhanfeng! Why is he standing outside the door? Quick, quick, what are you waiting for? Let him in!"
When Old Master Li woke up, he found out everything that had happened in the Li family over the past five years, and naturally he also knew about Li Zhanfeng's departure from the Li family during those five years.
Even though the Li family has been filthy and chaotic for the past five years, he can't just leave the Li family like that!
As he was speaking hurriedly, he heard Li Zhanfeng's indifferent voice from outside the door, "Grandpa, I'm here."
