Chapter 411 Fairness
"Don't worry." Chen Sisi said soothingly, "Everything now is just our speculation. You don't have to worry too much."
"Besides, even if that matter is really exposed, you will not be kicked out of the Li family. For so many years, you have been the eldest son of the Li family. The Li family cannot afford to kick you out for no reason."
After hearing what Chen Sisi said, Li Jingming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he was still worried. "Even if they don't kick me out, I won't have a place to stand in the Li family in the future!"
"So, you must hold on to Chu Yixue now." Chen Sisi looked at Li Jingming and said seriously, "Of course, it would be even better if you can settle down with Chu Yixue as soon as possible."
"As long as you and Chu Yixue stay together, you will be able to get the support of the Chu family. Only then can you gain a firm foothold in the Li family."
A hint of confusion flashed in Li Jingming's eyes, and he nodded, "I understand. Xue'er and I will always be together."
Apart from anything else, he and Chu Yixue were already on the same page. If his mother's deception of his grandmother was exposed, his future situation in the Li family would definitely not be any better. At this time, Chu Yixue's identity became crucial.
Therefore, no matter what, Chu Yixue's identity must not be exposed. Otherwise, it would not only be Chu Yixue who would be in trouble, but also him.
Thinking of this, the murderous intent in his heart became stronger.
After what happened with Chen Sisi, Li Jingming was very worried. He returned to the Li family only after thinking of all the countermeasures.
However, just after returning to the Li family, he was struck by a bolt from the blue. His father informed him that starting tomorrow, he no longer needed to go to work at the company.
Hearing this news, Li Jingming felt dizzy. If it weren't for his willpower, he might have fainted.
He had put in so much effort, but now everything was ruined in an instant. He really couldn't accept it.
On impulse, he went straight to Madam Li to get to the bottom of things. However, just as he asked all the questions, he felt a moment of guilt. However, the arrow was on the string and had to be released. At this point, he could no longer just leave.
Madam Li sat there, looking at Li Jingming, who was standing in front of her, feeling a little uneasy. She slowly put down the teacup in her hand and said in a light tone, but full of majesty, "Are you questioning me?"
But just one simple sentence made all the courage that Li Jingming had mustered disappear completely.
The reason he came here was just because he was angry for a moment. Now facing the majestic Madam Li, he suddenly became timid.
Madam Li was unlike any other noblewoman. In her youth, she had fought alongside Mr. Li in the business world, making significant contributions to the group. Therefore, Mr. Li held his wife in high esteem. Madam Li's influence within the Li family was no less than that of Mr. Li.
Even though he is old now and no longer cares about many things, the aura of the superior at that time was enough to make Li Jingming feel afraid.
"Grandma, I didn't," Li Jingming shook his head repeatedly.
In front of Madam Li, he felt a little weak, even his legs and feet were a little limp. "Just now, I heard my father tell me not to go to work at the company tomorrow. My father said that was your order."
"It was indeed my order." Madam Li simply glanced at Li Jingming lightly, "You are still a student, so you should focus on your studies. You don't need to worry about the company's affairs."
"This won't affect my studies," Li Jingming said eagerly. "I can manage both. Grandma, please give me a chance."
"You should focus on your studies!" Madam Li said slowly. "As for the company, let's talk about it after you graduate! You're still young, there's no need to rush into dismissal."
"Why?" Li Jingming said unconvincedly, "Grandma, this isn't fair. My younger brothers haven't finished their studies yet, have they? They've also joined the company and are now involved in its business. Whatever they can do, I can do too! As long as you give me a chance."
Madam Li frowned, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and her tone was filled with impatience, "Didn't you hear what I said just now? We'll talk about joining the company later."
The focus is on joining the company.
Li Jingming seemed not to understand and continued to pester her, "Grandma, I've been following that company project for a long time, and it's almost finished. Wouldn't it be unfair for you to ask me to leave now?"
"Even if you really want to leave, at least wait until I finish this project, okay? I put a lot of effort into that project, and I don't want it to fall through the cracks like this."
No matter what, he had to buy time. As long as he could stay until the project was finished, he still had a chance. Once the project was completed and he achieved results, he would have a good chance of staying.
"Someone will take over the project," Madam Li raised her head and looked at Li Jingming, her eyes filled with seriousness and sternness. "The company will operate normally regardless of who is missing. Also, don't talk to me about fairness here. You are not qualified."
"Why?" Li Jingming was really unconvinced.
"I thought you should know." Madam Li sneered, "Didn't you just settle your mother? Didn't she tell you the whole story?"
After hearing what Old Lady Li said, Li Jingming froze. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something to defend himself, but he didn't know what to say or what he could say.
If he still had a glimmer of hope before he came back, it was completely gone now.
He wasn't sure if Old Lady Li was targeting his mother because she knew what happened back then, but he was certain that Old Lady Li was treating him like this because of his mother.
Madam Li continued with a sneer, "What I hate most in my life is being deceived. Your mother tricked me into submission, and now you're still thinking of yelling at me. I've already shown the greatest kindness by not kicking you out of the house."
