For the first time, Xia Yunxi felt like she had a thorn in her back, especially when those people looked at her with unfriendly eyes.
She knew that Mr. Li hated her from the first time they met, but those people...
Xia Yunxi glanced around and didn't see Ms. He Meiqi, nor did she see Xia Yuan.
She looked at Li Hanting again, but unexpectedly, Li Hanting waved to Li Jinchen who was standing next to her, "Come here."
He had to listen to his father's words, and Li Jinchen glanced at his mother.
Xia Yunxi smiled at him, silently giving him courage.
Then Li Jinchen ran over, but he didn't jump into Li Hanting's arms. Instead, after he got close, he stood still and called out to Old Man Li, "Grandpa."
"Yeah!" After all, he was his grandson. Although the old man didn't like his son Li Hanting, his heart was soft towards this small, dumpling-like grandson: "Come here, come to grandpa."
Li Jinchen looked at Li Hanting first.
"Huh, what? You don't even listen to grandpa?" Old Master Li looked unhappy.
Li Hanting didn't say anything, but Li Jinchen understood. Grandpa was obviously angry when he entered the door just now. He didn't want to see that Grandpa had a bad relationship with Dad, nor did he want to see that Grandpa disliked Mom.
So, he stopped going to his father's side and walked obediently in front of Mr. Li.
Old Master Li's expression brightened. He pulled Jinchen to his side and pinched her little face: "Tell grandpa where you've been? Also, it's so cold outside, what if you get frozen?"
"Don't be afraid, I have gloves knitted by my mother." Li Jinchen said, and showed the small gloves hanging around his neck to his grandfather.
But Mr. Li's face turned ugly. "What mother? You are still young and ignorant. How can any woman, cat or dog, be called mother?"
Li Hanting opened his clear eyes and opened his mouth, looking at his grandfather with a look of surprise on his face, as if he didn't expect his grandfather to say that.
"If you are angry, you can come to me. Is there any need to vent it on him?" Li Hanting spoke, interrupting the atmosphere that Grandpa Li deliberately provoked.
"Come at you. Do you still recognize me as your father? First, tell me, how did you handle such a big thing happening to the company? If it weren't for this woman..." Old Master Li pointed at Xia Yunxi without hesitation: "Would the company be facing the predicament it is facing today?"
Xia Yunxi had been standing there without moving. When she heard what Mr. Li said, she understood.
No matter what, she has to bear it by herself!
It doesn't mean that just because Ms. He Meiqi doesn't care and Li Hanting is not angry about her involvement, she can really treat those people as coming for the Li Group and change the concept to say that she is the one who is implicated.
But is this really the case?
"Don't say anything. The company's shareholders' meeting must be held. The market value has evaporated by 300 million in just three days. Even the bank cannot afford to lose as much as you have." Old Master Li made the final decision.
"After all, we're holding a shareholders' meeting. What's the point? Do you want them to welcome back you, the emperor?" The sarcastic smile on Li Hanting's lips never stopped.
"You, rebellious son..." The old man was completely furious.
But Li Hanting ignored her. He stood up from the sofa and walked straight towards Xia Yunxi.
Everyone in the living room was looking at him, even Xia Yunxi was no exception.
Watching the man approaching step by step, Xia Yunxi didn't know how to react and just stood there in a daze.
The scenery reflected in her eyes was all about that man approaching step by step.
When he got there, he didn't give Xia Yunxi any chance to react. He stretched out his arms and put his arms around her waist while she was dazed, facing Old Man Li.
"I'm afraid you don't know yet, but this woman is not only the biological mother of my two children in the Li family, she will also be my future marriage partner."
This sentence was like stirring up a thousand waves, and the expressions of everyone in the hall changed several times.
Old Master Li stood up from the sofa in a panic, scaring Li Jinchen, who was standing next to him. He also stepped back with a pale face, and his small body hit the coffee table. But no one paid any attention to him at this moment.
"You, how dare you..." The old man roared loudly, his face flushed with anger. He pointed at Xia Yunxi and cursed rudely: "How dare you bring any of this crap to the Li family? I think you're going to go back to the old ways as you grow older."
Li Hanting's expression didn't change at all: "Finding a woman will make you go back to your old ways? Compared to you, I'm still far behind! At least..." He exerted force with his hands, and Xia Yunxi fell into his arms. "The woman I like, I am happy to marry her."
This sentence unconsciously slapped everyone present in the face.
Lin Yuan, who had been sitting next to Mr. Li in silence, suddenly turned dark-faced and clenched her hands into fists.
But the next moment he stood up, "Han Ting, you're wrong. Your father is so angry for your own good. Even if your father and I have no official status, at least I come from a decent family and don't have a bad reputation. I've lived in the Li family for all these years, and your father hasn't let me suffer any injustice."
"On the contrary, you guys, please don't think I, your aunt, am too nagging. What kind of family is our Li family? With all the rumors going around, which one of them doesn't make the Li family's reputation be trampled on?"
"You young people are not afraid of the sky and the earth when dealing with things. Let me put it bluntly, how many hundreds of millions of losses does the Li Group have now?"
As soon as these words came out, the old man snorted coldly and knocked his cane on the ground.
The loud noise also scared Li Jinchen.
Aunt Lin was standing not far away and saw this, feeling very distressed, but such an occasion was not something she, a small servant, could attend.
The housekeeper also noticed it not far away, and immediately called a maid without leaving any trace, whispering a few words in her ear.
The maid obeyed the order, bent her waist slightly, and walked to the center of the vortex. She grabbed the young master's arm and led him away from the old man.
Fortunately, the old man was focusing on Li Hanting at the moment and didn't notice anything around him, so the maid took the young master away smoothly.
Lin Yuan did notice it, but her current goal is to let the old man take control of the company again. As long as he regains control of the Li Group, when her son comes back, will he still be afraid of not getting some of the property?
In fact, this was the purpose of Mr. Li and her coming to the Imperial Palace again. Otherwise, who would be willing to see that bitch's son again?
Did you really think that being the CEO of the Li Group would allow you to rest easy? Lin Yuan had been following the news quite a bit these days. Whenever she saw the overwhelming public opinion surrounding the Li Group, attacking it with that woman as the leader, she felt an indescribable sense of comfort.
