Witnessing the annihilation of one's entire clan and the loss of one's last remaining relative is a blow that not everyone can bear.
Ye Xingchen put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his embrace.
Su Ruochu hugged Ye Xingchen tightly, tears streaming down her face...
After comforting Su Ruochu and leaving the house, he saw Li Yijin standing angrily at the door.
"What's wrong? Who offended you again?" Ye Xingchen was slightly taken aback. Judging from the girl's expression, she was clearly angry.
"You," Li Yijin said angrily, "you hugged another woman, and I'm jealous."
"I was just trying to comfort her," Ye Xingchen said helplessly.
"That won't do either. You have to pay me back double." Li Yijin insisted, "You smell like another woman."
"How am I going to repay this? Oh, wait a minute, what does it have to do with you if I hug other women?" Ye Xingchen's mind finally came to its senses.
“You’re my husband, what does that have to do with me?” Su Ruochu was even angrier: “Besides, I swore the night before last that I would marry whoever saved me, and I’ve decided on you for the rest of my life.”
"I want to give you ten or eight sons."
"Please, spare me." Ye Xingchen was both amused and exasperated. "Where's your brother?"
“The family is dealing with some matters. Xu Jie has already run away. That woman is really cunning,” Li Yijin said. “She actually bribed almost everyone in the family. Now they’ve joined forces to impeach my brother.”
"Is that so? That's quite interesting." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
The Li Family Compound, Family Meeting Hall.
The atmosphere in front of the huge desk was somewhat somber. Li Tianqi sat in the chairman's seat, while his father Li Junming, his uncle Li Zhengen, even his grandfather Li Zhenguo who had recently suffered a stroke and was now partially paralyzed, as well as some direct and collateral relatives of the family, were all watching him with predatory eyes.
"What's your decision?" Li Junming broke the silence.
“I’ve made up my mind.” Li Tianqi nodded slowly, stood up and said, “Xu Jie’s target is Qiming Group, the entire Li family. She must be eliminated.”
"How dare you, you unfilial son! She is your stepmother!" Li Junming roared in anger, slamming his hand heavily on the table. "Qiming Group belongs to the entire Li family, not just you."
“That’s right, and I don’t believe she would do such a thing.” Lee Jung-eun also spoke up: “Your sister-in-law is so gentle and virtuous, how could she possibly hire someone to harm you and your sister?”
“I have evidence,” Li Tianqi said calmly. “Moreover, the company’s huge assets have mysteriously disappeared, while her overseas accounts have gained nearly 10 billion yuan. This is enough to prove everything.”
"She is trying to take control of the entire Li family in order to achieve her ulterior motives."
“I still trust Xiaojie’s character.” Li Zhenguo, who was paralyzed on one side, mustered his strength to say, “Besides, she is your stepmother. I don’t believe she would do such a thing.”
“Tianqi, if you insist on doing this, then I have no choice but to dismiss you from your position as chairman of Qiming Group. If you dare to act recklessly again, I will expel you from the Li family.”
"How ridiculous." Just then, a cold laugh came from Ye Xingchen, who had been present the whole time.
"What's so ridiculous? Who are you? This is a family meeting of the Li family. Why are you here?" The Li family members looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ye Xingchen. They were all furious.
“I invited Mr. Ye,” Li Tianqi said, cutting off the crowd’s voices. “He is also a future ally of the Li family.”
"You decide the future of the Li family all by yourself?" Li Zhenguo was so angry that he almost jumped out of his chair.
He roared, "The path the Li family takes, the direction it develops in, the friends it makes, and the alliances it forms should all be decided by the family council. What gives you the right to ally with someone of unknown origin?"
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ye Xingchen, and I am the president of Xingchen Group." Ye Xingchen said calmly, "I am not someone of dubious origin."
"Moreover..." He glanced around, his gaze sweeping coldly over everyone: "The so-called family council members of your Li family are all a bunch of useless trash."
"If it weren't for Li Tianqi taking charge of the Qiming Group all these years, your Li family would have been defeated by the major families in Yanjing long ago. How would you have the opportunity to sit here and point fingers?"
"Nonsense. Without our support, Li Tianqi would be powerless to fight alone."
"Hmph, our Li family is a business tycoon, and Li Tianqi is nothing more than a puppet that I pushed forward."
"Without him, our Li family will thrive even better."
Ye Xingchen's words undoubtedly angered everyone present. They slammed their fists on the table and stood up, and some even called for security.
"Someone, throw this kid out! What are security guards for? How can they allow someone of unknown origin to come in and spout nonsense?" Li Junming roared.
A group of bodyguards walked in, and the captain at the head stood beside Li Tianqi without saying a word.
"Wang Ming, what are you good for? Throw this kid out! If this happens now, I'll make sure you get out of here!" Li Junming roared.
Wang Ming glanced at him, but remained unmoved.
"Didn't you hear me? Are you trying to rebel?" Li Junming was taken aback.
"Wang Ming, everyone except my grandfather, uncle, and father, please leave," Li Tianqi said calmly.
"Yes." Wang Ming nodded slightly, then waved his hand and led his subordinates to invite the people.
"Wang Ming, what do you want to do? Try touching me! You're nothing but a dog of the Li family!" A member of the direct line roared, relying on his status.
His response was a grappling move, followed by being dragged out.
"President Li said that apart from the old man and his father and uncle, everyone else should leave. We all know each other so well, don't force me to take action," Wang Ming said calmly.
Everyone fell silent, realizing that Li Tianqi was actually the president of Qiming Group.
More than 90% of the Li family's confidence comes from Qiming Group. Although the Li family is currently controlled by Li Junming.
But in reality, it was Li Tianqi who had the most say.
No one dared to utter another word; they all stood up and left the meeting room.
"Mr. Li, everyone please leave. I'll be waiting outside. Call me anytime if you have any questions." Yueming bowed slightly to Li Tianqi.
"You've worked hard, go ahead." Li Tianqi smiled slightly.
Wang Ming nodded and left, closing the conference room door behind him.
"Li Tianqi, what exactly do you want to do? I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless. There's no room for discussion about your stepmother's matter," Li Junming said angrily. He had no way to deal with his son.
"Is there no room for discussion?" Ye Xingchen looked at Li Tianqi with a questioning gaze: "There are some things I've brought."
"Take it out. Family scandals shouldn't be aired in public. Dad, you forced me to do this." Li Tianqi shook his head and sat down.
Ye Xingchen took out a thick file folder, and with a tremor of his hand, dozens of photos fell out.
The content of the photos is obscene; it depicts a woman and various men in lewd scenes.
