Note that this book is a slow-burn novel, and it will become increasingly exciting as the story progresses.
It starts from 2002, beginning at the Beijing Film Academy, and starting with the H...
Li Family Village Living Room.
Lee Geon-hee looked at Chen Fang, Lee Boo-jin, Lee Jae-yong, and Lim Se-ryung with an annoyed expression.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Lee Jae-yong spoke first: "Father!!! This man hit me!!! Look at my face, look what he did to me!!! Father, he's a barbarian, he has no respect for elders at all!!!! He doesn't deserve to be our son-in-law!!!"
Lee Geon-hee looked at Lim Se-ryung: "Is that so?"
Lin Shiling glanced at Lee Jae-yong, then at Shen Fang, and shook her head.
"He spoke rudely first, and Mr. Shen has already spoken to him. Uncle Li, he has truly disappointed me. I originally intended to meet with Fu Zhen and Mr. Shen today to sit down and have a proper talk about whether we could compete more peacefully, since they are siblings. I never expected things to turn out like this. He really went too far with Fu Zhen; he didn't act like an older brother at all! And you should know that he has other women outside, right?!"
"Isn't this too unfair to me? Uncle Li, I hope this matter can be resolved satisfactorily, otherwise I will definitely talk to my father about it!!!"
After saying that, Lin Shiling left.
Lee Boo-jin glanced at Lim Se-ryung, who was leaving, with great surprise. However, considering that Lim Se-ryung had gotten into their car earlier, she felt it was only natural. It seemed that Lim Se-ryung disliked this arranged marriage.
Lee Jae-yong, standing to the side, watched Lim Se-ryung leave the hall with a very gloomy expression. He never expected his fiancée to side with outsiders! Damn it, just wait and see how I deal with you!
These words immediately enraged Lee Geon-hee.
He slapped Lee Jae-yong across the right cheek, mirroring Shen Fang's slap.
Hong Xiluo, standing to the side, didn't dare to say a word. In this family, Lee Geon-hee was the king!
Then she looked at Shen Fangxi and said, "Shen Fangxi, he and Fu Zhen are siblings. No matter how much they quarrel, it's none of your business to interfere, right?"
Shen Fang chuckled lightly, "Uncle, Fu Zhen is my fiancée. What kind of man can't even protect his own wife? Besides, I was careful with my strength; my brother-in-law won't suffer any serious internal injuries. If you're unhappy, there's nothing I can do. That's just how I am—I side with family, not with what's right!"
Li Jianxi smiled slightly: "Well said, 'Following one's own side regardless of reason.' You're right. If a man can't even protect his own lover, he won't amount to anything. Of course, I'm talking about a real man!!!"
"Lee Jae-yong, how many times have I told you? Have you been ignoring my words?! Your marriage to your niece Lin was arranged by your Uncle Lin. What do you take my words for? You think you can get the position of heir with this attitude?"
"Dad, why do I have to contact him? Isn't our Li family powerful enough? Can't I control my own marriage? Didn't you just say that if you can't protect your loved one..."
"Shut up!!!"
Lee Geon-hee's eyes flashed with a cold light, like a ferocious lion ready to devour someone at any moment.
"I'm giving you three days. If you can't appease Lin Shiling, you'll bear the consequences. And if you ever dare to speak disrespectfully to your sister again, I'll break your legs. You're such a useless piece of trash!!!"
At this moment, Shen Fang also stood up and took Li Fuzhen's small hand.
"Uncle, it's getting late, so Fu-jin and I won't disturb you any longer."
Lee Geon-hee nodded and saw the two of them to the door.
After watching the two get into the car, she returned to the living room, where Hong Xiluo was applying medicine to her precious son.
Lee Geon-hee glared at his good-for-nothing son: "Does he really think he's some kind of prince? He even dares to say that Shen Fang can't leave South Korea? You're really something, aren't you? Do you believe that if something happens to him, you'll definitely lose your life too?"
"Father, how do you know this...?"
Lee Geon-hee sneered: "How would I know? What in South Korea can be hidden from me? Even our Lee family would find it difficult to offend the powerful forces behind Shen Fang. Not to mention the major conglomerates behind Tencent, just his media company has connections within the top echelons of the Chinese government. He even has the Ministry of Foreign Affairs helping with publicity for 'Hero Goes Global.' And that doesn't even include his influence in the United States. He has partnerships with a large number of top figures. Can you touch him?"
"And then there's your own sister, who likes him so much. If you mess with her, won't she fight you to the death? With a piece of trash like you, if your sister really decides to fight you, your chances of winning are extremely slim. Most of your old retainers are biased towards Fu Zhen, don't you understand that, you piece of trash?"
"Father, you support me becoming chairman?" Lee Jae-yong was overjoyed, having gleaned the key information from Lee Geon-hee's words.
Lee Geon-hee scoffed, "So what if I support you? The Lee family isn't ruled by me alone. I'm the chairman now, and everyone respects me. But what about you? You're over 30, what have you accomplished? What about Boo Jin? He turned the Shilla Hotel around in just a few years, and now he's quickly getting into the core business. And you? All you do is eat, drink, and have fun. How could I have given birth to such a useless piece of trash? If you had even the slightest bit of ability, I would have passed the position to you!!!"
“I will pass away one day. When I am gone, whoever wants to step down will have to rely on the support of the old ministers and external aid. Whether Shen Fang is a local or not, for Fu Zhen, external aid can only be financial support at most, which is not very useful. But the Lin family is different. Lin Shiling’s parents are direct descendants of the top ten conglomerates. With their support, you will have a huge advantage. Moreover, Lin Shiling has a very deep background in the American cultural circle.”
