Chapter 502 Why Not Debunk the Rumors
"Apart from this, are there any other symptoms?" Nie Yao asked curiously.
"Other symptoms? I wonder what Miss Nie means..." Li Jinxing narrowed his eyes and asked thoughtfully.
Nie Yao thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "For example... sometimes you won't stop until you see blood?"
Li Yaofeng was slightly startled, then raised his eyes to look at Nie Yao, frowning slightly: "Miss Nie, could it be that he did something to you?"
"No, I just heard his housekeeper say so..." Nie Yao shook her head and added in a low voice, "Also, there are some bad rumors about him outside. They say that he has an unpredictable personality, is moody, and... even crippled the previous heir's legs..."
When she said this, she subconsciously looked at Li Yaofeng's legs.
The eldest brother of the Li family is indeed crippled in both legs, but his legs were clearly crippled due to the car accident that year. How did it get out and become the story that Li Jinxing beat the previous heir to become disabled?
Noticing Nie Yao's gaze, Li Yaofeng pulled the blanket covering his legs.
Seeing this, Nie Yao realized that it was impolite to look at his disabled soldier like that, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I didn't mean to bring this up..."
Li Yaofeng shook his head and smiled faintly. He picked up the teacup and took a sip before slowly saying, "I've heard of such rumors..."
Upon hearing this, Nie Yao became even more confused. It was clearly not the case, so why would the Li brothers allow such rumors to continue?
"Why?" Nie Yao frowned and looked at Li Yaofeng, asking doubtfully, "Mr. Li, why don't you explain it clearly to the public? After all, this rumor isn't good for Li Jinxing. Everyone says he's cruel and terrifying..."
"Initially, this rumor was spread by the Li family's side branch. At that time, my parents had an accident, my legs were crippled, and Jinxing was still young, so they were eager to take all the Li family's assets for themselves!"
When Li Yaofeng mentioned the past, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.
"Miss Nie didn't grow up in a wealthy family, so she probably hasn't seen the faces of those who fight for money..." Li Yaofeng sighed softly and said in a dark tone, "They even applied to raise Jinxing and me separately so that they could take care of the inheritance left by our parents, but I refused!"
"So they deliberately spread such rumors in order to retaliate and divide the relationship between you brothers?" Nie Yao asked in a low voice.
"They didn't do this at first. But when Li Jinxing finally came of age and I handed over the reins of the family to him, those collateral relatives couldn't hold back anymore and started spreading rumors everywhere. This not only alienated the trust between us brothers, but also ruined Li Jinxing's reputation!"
As Li Yaofeng finished speaking, Nie Yao couldn't help but gasp and sighed softly, "What a vicious mind!"
She sighed and asked in confusion, "But why didn't you and Li Jinxing refute the rumors?"
"Jinxing is unwilling to refute the rumor!" Li Yaofeng said in a low voice.
"Why?" Nie Yao widened her eyes, becoming even more confused.
"He's not afraid of others thinking he's cruel. Quite the contrary. He's tired of the schemes of those around him. So he'd rather others fear his reputation for brutality and not try to be clever or manipulative in front of him!"
When Li Yaofeng said this, he shrugged and chuckled, his face full of sarcasm.
