Chapter 412 Disappointment
Li Jingming felt icy cold all over, as if he had fallen into ice water in winter. He even found it difficult to breathe.
"Grandma, I... I really don't know. I—"
Madam Li raised her hand to stop Li Jingming. "You don't have to say any more. Whether you know it or not, you are the one who benefits from this matter. Your mother let you into our Li family under the pretext of saving your life."
"I haven't kicked you out of the Li family yet, which is already the most righteous thing I can do. As for the company, don't even think about getting involved with it."
After hearing what Madam Li said, Li Jingming felt guilty but still unwilling to give in. "Grandma, even if I'm an illegitimate child, I'm still my father's child and the bloodline of the Li family! Why do you treat me like this?"
He really didn't understand. He had done nothing wrong, so why was he facing this situation? Moreover, he had no knowledge of what his mother had done, so why was he being blamed? Was it because he was an illegitimate child?
He didn't want to be born as an illegitimate child! If he had a choice, wouldn't he want to be born in a normal family with loving parents? Now, just because he is an illegitimate child, he has to be treated like this. Is that fair to him?
"Yes!" Madam Li nodded and continued, "Your father has more than one illegitimate child. He has several more outside! But, which one of them can enter our Li family? Your despicable mother used such means to let you enter the Li family and become the legitimate eldest son of the Li family. This is much better than those illegitimate children outside. What are you dissatisfied with now?"
These words left Li Jingming speechless. He felt resentful and angry, but he couldn't vent them now.
Madam Li had no sympathy for Li Jingming at all. She said in a cold voice, "Li Jingming, for the sake of the Li family's reputation, I will not drive you out of the Li family. You will still be the eldest young master of the Li family. But——"
"Now that you've obtained this status, don't dream of anything else in the future."
"And your mother? Go tell her that she's been playing me around, and this matter won't just go away. She's been playing me for so many years, it's time for her to pay the price."
Over the years, she had given Chen Sisi many benefits for the so-called life-saving grace. Now that she knew everything was a setup, she would take back all those benefits with interest.
"Grandma." After hearing what Old Madam Li said, Li Jingming became anxious. "My mother really knows she was wrong. You—"
"Are you trying to plead for your mother?" Old Madam Li glanced at Li Jingming indifferently.
With just one glance, Li Jingming, who was about to plead for mercy, immediately backed off. He lowered his head and said, "I understand."
Things had come to this point, and he didn't dare to plead with his mother anymore, fearing that he would be implicated. He had already lost his position in the company, and if he was kicked out again for angering the old lady, he would really have nothing.
"Get out!" Old Madam Li waved her hand and drove them away.
Feeling a little uneasy, Li Jingming didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately turned around and left.
However, Li Jingming, who was in a hurry to leave at this time, did not see the disappointment in the eyes of Mrs. Li behind him.
Madam Li was indeed dissatisfied with Chen Sisi, and she also disliked Li Jingming. However, just now, she still gave Li Jingming a chance, which was to plead for Chen Sisi.
If Li Jingming really pleaded for Chen Sisi, even though she disliked him, she would not be too heartless as she was a descendant of the Li family. At least, she would try to plead for Zhong Nianyao.
However, Li Jingming's performance really disappointed her.
Indeed, she hated Chen Sisi for using deception to allow Li Jingming to marry into the Li family. However, as she said, the one who benefited from this matter was Li Jingming.
No matter how hateful Chen Sisi is, everything she does is to pave the way for Li Jingming.
Now, when facing Chen Sisi's matter, she just said a word and made Li Jingming stop. It can be seen that Li Jingming is such a selfish person that he would make such a choice.
Such a selfish person will not be grateful no matter how much you give him. In his eyes, only his own interests are the most important.
Such a person, whether he is dead or alive, will no longer have much to do with the Li family.
Li Jingming, who had already left at this time, had no idea that Madam Li had become so dissatisfied with him. He returned to his room in a daze.
As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't help but collapse to the ground, looking frightened.
At this moment, he was still feeling very upset. Madam Li's aura was so strong that it made him feel extremely pressured. Under such pressure, he couldn't even fight for himself and could only flee like this.
The next morning, the first thing Li Jingming did after arriving at school was to find Chu Yixue and tell her everything that had happened in the Li family, especially how he was kicked out of the company.
He and Chu Yixue were already in the same boat, so there was no need for him to pretend in front of Chu Yixue. Moreover, he also knew Chu Yixue's secret and was not worried that Chu Yixue would leave him.
After listening to Li Jingming's narration, Shen Yixue couldn't help but frowned, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she still spoke gently and comfortingly, "Brother Jingming, you don't have to be too discouraged. Now that things have become what they are now, there is no point in being anxious."
"Only by calming down and figuring out a solution can we think of a better solution!"
"I also want to calm down and think carefully about what to do next." Li Jingming's face was full of dejection. "But the current situation doesn't allow me to slowly make plans. Now I've been kicked out of the company. All my efforts for so long have been in vain."
"Why is it so sudden?" Chu Yixue was puzzled. "How could the thing your mother did back then suddenly be exposed? It's been fine for so many years, why did Madam Li suddenly find out about it again now?"
