I have lived in the Li family since I can remember.
At first, my father treated me very well. Even after my mother gave birth to another brother, my father never mistreated me.
Mo Shen is very dependent on me, his older brother.
I have no complaints.
It wasn't until my mother became seriously ill that she told me some extremely shocking news.
I am not my father's biological son; she married him when she was pregnant with me.
My mother told me to keep this secret and not let my father find out, otherwise I would be kicked out of the Li family and become a beggar.
After his mother died, his father immediately brought a woman back with him. The woman also brought a boy who was two years older than Mo Shen.
The mistress became our stepmother, and after she and her illegitimate child entered the family, the father's attention was entirely focused on the illegitimate child.
Because Li Mofei looks most like him.
Meanwhile, Mo Shen and I are becoming increasingly neglected.
As I grew older, I looked less and less like my father, and he became increasingly distant from me.
That illegitimate son, Li Mofei, flaunts his power in front of me and Mo Shen every day.
Li Mofei doesn't dare to bully me, he only dares to bully Mo Shen when I'm not around.
I stood up for Mo Shen and hit Li Mo Fei, but all I got in return was my father's scolding.
Even though Mo Shen was on my side, my father remained unmoved.
One day, when I took Mo Shen out to play, several adults suddenly tried to take Mo Shen and me away. I struggled and escaped, but Mo Shen did not escape.
I went home and told my father and stepmother.
The kidnappers called demanding a ransom, and the stepmother said she would go and deliver the ransom.
Three days later, when we found Mo Shen, he was covered in blood, not only his own but also that of the kidnappers.
He even killed the stepmother who had taken over as his wife's mistress.
It was then that I learned that this was all a scheme orchestrated by my stepmother and her younger brother to demand ransom from my father.
Mo Shen suffered greatly during those three days. When his stepmother delivered the ransom, she saw Mo Shen, who had killed her brother, and tried to kill him as well, but was instead killed by her.
I was utterly shocked. The younger brother, who had no strength to resist the kidnappers, had killed someone, and his clear eyes had turned extremely sinister.
I've wondered, if I were treated like that by the kidnappers, would I have their courage and ability to kill them?
I have no idea.
I originally thought my father would blame Mo Shen, but to my surprise, my father looked at Mo Shen with great admiration, as if to say, this is his son.
It is said that his father killed someone who tried to kidnap him when he was young.
After returning home, Li Mofei went berserk and wanted to hit Mo Shen, but was scolded by his father.
Later, Li Mofei wanted to secretly teach Mo Shen a lesson, but he didn't know how Mo Shen managed to do it.
In short, he scared Li Mofei to tears.
From that day on, the Li family changed.
Mo Shen was more favored by his father than Li Mofei.
In the end, I became the least popular one.
Mo Shen is no longer as dependent on me as before.
He developed obsessive-compulsive disorder and didn't want others to get close to him, including me. He also refused to eat food prepared by others.
They no longer depend on me as much as before.
My father is getting nicer to him and is ignoring me even more, which makes me very uncomfortable.
As time went by, the three of us brothers grew up.
Li Moshen's abilities are growing stronger, while Li Mofei is becoming increasingly useless.
No matter what I do, I can never compare to Mo Shen.
Mo Shen would help me when I failed, but for some reason, it felt like he was giving me charity.
It seems to be saying that I am not as good as him.
Not long after, Li Mofei discovered that I was not his biological child and wanted to tell his father.
I wanted to have a serious talk with my father before he reported me, but I overheard his conversation with his lawyer.
He plans to hand over the Li family to Mo Shen, while Li Mofei and I will only receive a small portion of the assets.
If my father knew that I wasn't his biological son, I think I might not even get this small portion of the inheritance.
After learning all this, Li Mofei did not tell my father about my background. Instead, he came to me to cooperate in bringing Mo Shen down from his position.
He said that as long as I cooperated with him, he would hide my background.
For my own benefit, I agreed.
At first, I felt a little guilty towards Mo Shen.
Later, I discovered that Li Moshen had taken all the projects that were supposed to be my work.
My guilt disappeared and gradually turned into hatred.
Perhaps this is what happens when greed blinds you and you lose yourself.
Li Mofei prepared a fake project, intending for me to trick Li Moshen into signing it.
Suddenly a woman handed me a document, which showed that Li Mofei not only prepared fake projects for Li Moshen, but also planned to trap me.
I couldn't find any of this information, but this woman named Mu Tiantian was able to.
I looked up Mu Tiantian's background. She is an orphan who started working at Li's after graduating from university. She is excellent in every aspect, including appearance and professional skills.
I just don't know why she did that.
I originally thought that she might be interested in me, which was why she helped me, and that she might be playing hard to get by not letting me know.
I just don't have the extra energy to deal with a woman. If she's capable enough and obedient, I can keep her.
But if the purpose is too great and beyond my control, then I cannot keep it.
When I met her, I found that she really didn't have any other feelings for me. She just happened to overhear Li Mofei's phone call and found out about this, so she went to investigate.
Their only goal is to get a promotion and a raise.
I kept her around; if she only cared about money, she would be easy to control.
She is indeed very capable; she can complete both her regular job and the tasks I assign her very well.
He's like my right-hand man.
And I've become more and more comfortable using it, it's even become a habit.
She often eats the meals she cooks herself in the office, and I can always smell the aroma of her food.
I ate the dumplings she made once, and I really liked them.
So I asked her to bring me an extra portion of her lunch every day.
Gradually, I came to like this feeling.
I even thought that if I were to take over the Li family business in the future and keep her by my side, the Li family business would definitely get better and better.
I trust her more and more.
No matter what phone call she receives or what she talks about with others, she never hides it from them.
And she won't tell anyone about my situation.
Because Li Mofei secretly told my father about my background, my father wanted to sever our father-son relationship.
In that instant, I had the urge to kill my father, and I pushed him down the stairs.
This scene was witnessed by Li Mofei.
He threatened me while simultaneously trying to cooperate with me to kill Li Moshen, and with my half-dead father also involved, in the end, the Li family's assets would belong to both of us.
Perhaps it was from the moment I pushed my father off the building that I completely turned into a cold-blooded person.
I started plotting how to kill Li Moshen and then frame Li Mofei.
Li Mofei must also be thinking about how to use me to kill Li Moshen and then escape unscathed.
I spent a lot of money to hire an assassin to kill Li Moshen.
Even with this premeditated murder phone call, I didn't hide it from Mu Tiantian.
Maybe I wanted to see how she would react if she knew what kind of person I was.
She seemed quite calm.
The only thing that bothered me was that she didn't like me getting close.
This really annoyed me.
She later failed to assassinate Li Moshen because she saved him.
I was furious. In a fit of rage, I hired people to kill her, but Li Moshen dealt with them all.
He couldn't find any evidence that I had hired someone to commit murder in a short time.
So Li Mofei and I conspired to blow up Li Moshen.
We tricked him into going to one of Li's warehouses.
On the same day, we went to one of Li's real estate developments for inspection, pretending that we had nothing to do with the matter.
However, to my surprise, the building where Li Mofei and I were located was the one that was blown up in the end.
I thought I was going to die, but maybe I was lucky enough to survive.
When I regained consciousness, my appearance had completely changed to that of a different person, Myron.
