Chapter 468: Unable to accommodate
Hearing his eldest son's question, Mr. Li didn't look at him. Instead, he fixed his gaze on Li Jingming. "He did something he shouldn't have done. He's no longer worthy of being a member of my Li family. This is the result of a discussion between your mother and I. Do you have any objections?"
As he spoke, his gaze shifted to his eldest son. Although it was just a simple inquiry, it was full of oppression.
"No."
Feeling his father's displeasure, the eldest son of the Li family no longer dared to ask any more questions.
He had asked this question out of pure curiosity. Of course, part of the reason was also to see if there was still a chance for reconciliation. Although his feelings for Li Jingming weren't deep, he was still his son after all. Having another son wasn't necessarily a bad thing for him.
However, if the existence of this son would annoy the old man and the old lady, that would be another matter.
Moreover, he knew the old man and the old lady very well. Now that the old man had spoken like this, Li Jingming must have done something that angered the heavens and the people. Otherwise, the old man and the old lady would not have made such a major decision.
Mr. Lu calmly withdrew his gaze and then looked at Li Jingming, "From now on, you are no longer a member of the Li family. You are not allowed to act under the name of the Li family outside. Also, I will have someone change your surname. From now on, you will take the surname Chen, just like your biological mother!"
Li Jingming was struck by lightning. He had never expected that Mr. Li would do such a ruthless thing.
Ever since Mr. Li announced the news, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave in the middle of winter. He was freezing cold and unable to move.
He couldn't believe what he heard, and even now, he still couldn't believe what was happening. It wasn't until Mr. Li's cold eyes fell on him that he was sure that all this was true and he was about to be kicked out of the house.
"Grandfather, Grandma, I don't accept it."
Finally, under the oppressive gaze of Mr. Li, Li Jingming stood up. His voice was filled with grief and indignation, and trembled slightly. "Why did you kick me out of the house? What did I do to deserve you to treat me so cruelly?"
He really couldn't understand why things had turned out like this.
He had a bad feeling since he first came in. Now it had come true, but he never imagined the reality would be so cruel. Out of nowhere, he was being kicked out of his home.
Hadn't the old lady punished him and kicked him out of the company because of what his biological mother had done to deceive her? Why couldn't even this family accommodate him now?
He couldn't even imagine what would be left for him after leaving the Li family.
Although his status in the Li family was not high before, and people outside secretly mocked him as a bastard, but with the title of the Li family's eldest son, those people still dared not say anything in front of him. Moreover, some people who were not as important as the Li family still had to flatter him in public.
Now that he has lost all his status and position, it is even more painful than death for him.
"Aren't you very clear about what you're doing?" When Old Master Li looked at Li Jingming, there was no warmth, only indifference. "You have a vicious mind and cruel methods. If you continue to stay in the Li family, you will only become a disaster in the future."
Hearing Old Master Li's evaluation of him, Li Jingming's pale face turned even more resentful. "Grandfather, why do you say that to me? Is it because I'm a bastard? Is it because my biological mother used some trickery to allow me to enter the Li family that you want to erase my existence now?"
"Li Jingming, it was indeed my decision to expel you from the Li family, but it wasn't because of Chen Sisi, but because of you." Madam Li looked at Li Jingming and spoke directly, "Today, Zhong Nianyao from the Zhong family came to visit."
When he heard Zhong Nianyao's name, Li Jingming's pupils shrank slightly and a trace of panic flashed across his eyes.
Then, he kept comforting himself in his heart, no, it is absolutely impossible for Zhong Nian Yao to find out what happened this time.
This was just an accident, he didn't do anything. So, he couldn't panic, absolutely couldn't panic.
After calming his mind and taking a deep breath, Li Jingming tried to calm his inner panic. He spoke again, "Grandma, I don't know why Zhong Nianyao came here today. However, so many things happened between Zhong Nianyao and me before, and our relationship was really strained. Until now, she still holds a grudge against me, so it's normal for her to slander me."
"Slander, what are you slandering?"
Seeing that Li Jingming was still trying to argue, Madam Li's eyes turned even colder. "Are you being accused of hiring someone to kill someone? And twice at that?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Li Jingming.
They thought that Li Jingming had done something very serious, which was why he was kicked out of the Li family by Mr. Li and Mrs. Li. They had guessed many things, but never thought that the matter would be so serious.
Hiring a killer to kill someone.
Such charges were creepy even to them.
If this is true, then Li Jingming's methods are too cruel. Although I have heard that there were many unpleasant things between him and Zhong Nianyao, it has developed to the point of hiring a killer to kill someone. This is too horrible!
Even if they were born into a wealthy family full of intrigue and deception, they would never think of killing those who offended them.
Li Jingming tried to remain calm, took a deep breath, and then spoke, "Grandfather, Grandma, I really haven't done anything to hire someone to kill someone. Zhong Nianyao is slandering me."
"Whether it's slander or not, you know it." Madam Li sneered a few times and continued, "I didn't expect you to be so cruel! You're capable of such a crime."
"Grandma, I didn't do that," Li Jingming insisted. "Zhong Nianyao is just making up stories. If she really had evidence, she could have sent the police to arrest me. She's just taking revenge on me for turning a blind eye to her before."
"You don't need to explain." Madam Li raised her hand. "No matter what, the Li family can no longer accommodate you."
