Chapter 8 A Glimpse of Beauty



To change my own destiny, to change my father's destiny, to change my brother's destiny, and to change the destiny of the entire Li family.

Thinking of this, she opened her arms to feel the breeze blowing from the riverbank.

A Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta drove up.

The roar was loud, and Li Mu turned his head to catch a glimpse of a refined and handsome face.

Zhang Junyan also looked over at her.

When Li Mu caught a glimpse of that face, she almost lost all confidence in herself.

The man in the sports car also glanced at the girl by the bridge out of the corner of his eye. Although the car headlights flashed for only a moment, he could still make out that the girl had delicate features and a noble and aloof temperament.

Little did he know that in the days to come, this figure would appear in his mind from time to time.

However, Li Mu was only slightly amazed before getting into his beloved car and arriving at the Li family villa.

I looked up and saw that the light in my father's study on the third floor was still on.

It was still pitch black on my brother's side.

Li Mu was used to it; Li Yi was rarely home.

He must have gone out to play games with his friends.

Fortunately, school starts the day after tomorrow. My younger brother is going into his senior year of high school. Because he is very interested in computers, he went abroad to study computer programming and other related subjects, which delayed him for two years. However, with his intelligence, it should be easy for him to get into any university.

I missed four years of schooling because I went abroad to study piano and dance. When I came back this time, I didn't skip any grades and obediently went to my senior year of high school to take the college entrance exam.

Thinking about this, I also remembered that Mi Xi was going to high school.

Instantly, I recalled my past life. In my past life, Mi Xi used her good grades and good looks to get herself voted the school beauty and caused me a lot of trouble at school.

I really need to be careful this time.

Upon entering the villa, I saw that distressing mother and daughter.

The mother and daughter saw Li Mu and smiled, but the smiles didn't reach their eyes. Mi Lan said solicitously, "Are you having dinner so late? I'll go and ask Aunt Zhang to bring it upstairs for you."

Seeing Mi Lan's hostess-like demeanor, Li Mu replied indifferently, "No need." He then went upstairs.

It was another sunny day. Li Mu got up early, washed up, and went downstairs.

Li Hongyun was eating breakfast at the table, holding a newspaper, when he saw Li Mu come downstairs. A stiff smile appeared on his face. "Little Mu, come and eat quickly."

Li Mu sat obediently next to her father. She asked casually, "Dad, is your company doing well?"

Hearing that his beloved daughter actually cared about the company, Li Hongyun felt a surge of excitement, but maintained a relatively calm expression as he spoke.

The company continues to perform well, with profits increasing year by year.

In the past few days, a group of people from my extended family have come to me, asking me to let them or their children join the company, but I refused.

I told them that they could join the company, but they had to give up their shares in the company.

And he established himself in the company through his own abilities.

You didn't see how they all ran faster than rabbits when they heard what I said.

Although these people from the collateral branches only hold a small number of shares in some subsidiaries, they are still aware of their own limitations compared to their capabilities.

It should be noted that the Li family, as the second largest family in China, holds shares in its subsidiaries that other small and medium-sized wealthy families could never hope to achieve in their entire lives.

Li Mu asked curiously, "Aren't there any outstanding people in the collateral branches?"

Li Hongyun thought about it and realized that he did have some experience, but he was still too young and needed more experience.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu nodded and did not ask any further questions.

Li Hongyun had thought that his daughter was starting to ask about the company and wanted to help him manage it, but nothing came of it.

I couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Mu, you're asking about Dad's company because you want to join it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mu raised her head and looked at Li Hongyun, giving a playful smile. It was just a casual question.

Because Li Mu recalled that in his previous life, it seemed that, perhaps, there was a collateral branch of the Li family who helped to bring down the Li Group.

After thinking for a moment, I added, "I will go to the company after I finish my university entrance exams."

Li Hongyun quickly agreed.

Mi Lan, who was upstairs, heard the whole thing. She was furious.

They wished they could get rid of Li Mu and Li Yi, these two stumbling blocks.

I might think about it, but I really wouldn't dare. There's a reason why the second most powerful family in China has become the second most powerful family.

These are the three great families of China. The Qin family is very mysterious; to this day, no one knows what the members of the Qin family look like, let alone who the head of the Qin family is.

However, no one dared to challenge the Qin family because the Qin family had military and political connections.

Among the Li family members are high-ranking government officials, some of whom are even based in Kyoto.

Although the Ling family has no military or political connections, they have a background in the underworld and their wealth is second only to the two major families mentioned above.

The three companies have maintained this non-antagonistic relationship for decades.

Thinking about all this, Mi Lan snapped out of her daze, composed herself, and went downstairs.

At this time, Li Mu was no longer downstairs; he had finished his meal and gone out.

Mi Xi had just woken up and went downstairs when she saw Li Hongyun. She called him "Dad" and then sat down next to Mi Lan. While eating, she said, "Dad, you and Mom are husband and wife now. Mom, why don't you live with me? I prefer to live alone."

Seeing that Li Hongyun's expression hadn't changed, Mi Lan breathed a sigh of relief. She spoke in a deliberately reproachful tone, "Don't worry about anything. Eat your food and go practice your dance later."

"I like living alone, but you always force me to go to bed early when you live with me," Mi Xi said, pouting.

Li Hongyun pondered for a long time before speaking. "Alright, Xixi is right. Since we're already husband and wife, why don't you pack your things and move over later?"

He hadn't remarried for many years since his wife's death. Now that he and Mi Lan were married and had a child, he thought, "Let's give it a try, let's see how things go!" With that in mind, he agreed.
