——
At the Li family home, the old man was furious. "Look what you've done!"
He threatened to expose Shen Shixun's location, forcing Shen Shixun to return to the Li family. However, Li Luchuan intercepted the plan and informed Xiang Nanzhi in advance.
From the moment the Xiang family, except for Xiang Nanzhi, completely left the grassland, Li Qingyuan knew that the Xiang family would not do anything to Shen Shixun.
Li Qingyuan wanted to act as Shen Shixun's protector in this conflict, so that Shen would know that his dream of returning to the Li family and regaining his dignity would be completely shattered.
Mao Yuling knew this day would come, and she only regretted not acting sooner. If Shen Shixun were dead, no one could threaten her son's position.
Miko pulled Li Qingyuan aside, "Qingyuan, don't get too excited."
"Get out of here."
Mao Yuling slightly curled her lips, while Mi Ke's expression became somewhat awkward.
"I'm asking you, what good will it do you to go against me? He's your half-brother, are you really willing to watch him cause trouble for me?"
"It is his freedom to choose. He can decide whether or not to acknowledge his ancestors. Artificial interference to make him bow his head is only temporary. The harder you suppress him, the more violently he will bounce back."
Li Luchuan was the victim. He thought that Xiang Nanzhi would have a major falling out with Shen Shixun, and that the Xiang family's intervention would cause the relationship between Shen Shixun and her to become strained again.
But he miscalculated; people change.
Shen Shixun is not the same Shen Shixun as before. After experiencing so much, Xiang Nanzhi has long been fed up with her bad temper.
His elaborate plan protected the Li family's assets, but that wasn't what he truly wanted.
"You dare talk back to me?"
"Lu Chuan, apologize to your father."
Mao Yuling quickly said, "Apologize to your father, and let's just let this matter go."
Apologizing won't cost me anything, and Shen Shixun won't come back even if I apologize. I've earned some money on my own and don't need the Li family to survive.
Furthermore, Xiang Nanzhi likes him, so how could she not consider his future? After all, the Li family is a multinational corporation. If they were to go head-to-head with the Xiang family in the ancient city, they would harm both the Xiang family and themselves, which would not be worthwhile.
Otherwise, why would Li Qingyuan be so angry?
Li Luchuan stood up. "Shen Shixun knows very well what you did in the past. He has no feelings for you. If you want to acknowledge him, you have to acknowledge his mother, sister, and mom. You don't care, do you?"
Mao Yuling asked awkwardly, "What are you talking about?"
They don't know how to restrain themselves in front of the old man, and they're becoming increasingly inconsiderate.
"Qingyuan".
"Dad, Mom doesn't care if the Li family has another fourth wife, but is Shen Shixun willing? Is his mother willing? Besides, are you willing to rekindle your relationship with that old woman?"
No, of course I don't want to.
Li Qingyuan only cared about Shen Shixun, Lama and Jira, and he didn't want to acknowledge them at all.
If they were truly willing to admit it, why go through all this trouble?
"Deep down, you don't really want him to come back, do you? You're also conflicted. If he doesn't acknowledge you, he'll never have the surname Li again and won't be your son. If he does acknowledge you, he'll have to abandon his mother and sister. Tell me, what's the point of acknowledging someone who can abandon his mother and sister? What's the use of acknowledging such an unfaithful and unfilial person?"
Mao Yuling remained silent. Suddenly, Li Qingyuan stood up. Mi Ke tried to reach out to help him, but he frowned and left.
Li Qingyuan also thought that as a man, he had been a womanizer for most of his life and felt guilty towards Lama and their two children, but it would be a joke if he acknowledged them back.
His position did not allow him to do so.
People will laugh at you.
Miko had been favored for some time, and this was the first time she had seen Li Qingyuan so out of her control. In the past, when Li Qingyuan was angry or unhappy, she would immediately step in and resolve everything.
If someone in the family makes him angry, she can comfort him and he'll be fine.
Li Qingyuan liked her the most; he hardly ever slept with Mao Yuling and Li Anqi, spending every night with her.
It was rare to be treated this way by Li Qingyuan. Although he had left, Mi Ke's face still showed a hint of astonishment and confusion.
Mao Yuling breathed a sigh of relief, "Third Aunt..."
Miko didn't even realize Mao Yuling was calling her. "Third Aunt took Qingyuan to Lu Chuan's house to see the Buddha statue. Are you satisfied with the result now?"
Miko couldn't conceive and wanted to use Shen Shixun to cause trouble for Mao Yuling and Li Anqi, but now she's a bit unsure about Li Qingyuan and belatedly realizes that she might have shot herself in the foot.
Li Anqi remained silent throughout. Although she resented Mao Yuling's scheme to prevent her from having children, she disliked Mi Ke's affected and pretentious manner more than Mao Yuling's straightforwardness.
The enemy of my enemy does not need to make an alliance; he naturally becomes my friend.
"Even the Third Wife will fall out of favor one day. It's truly lamentable. If I didn't mishear, Qingyuan told the Third Wife to get out?"
Li Anqi laughed and said, "Third Aunt was sponsored by me to study abroad. Who would have thought that Third Aunt would be so smart? Perhaps she envied my generosity in doing good deeds, so she had a relationship with Qingyuan. I really regret it. I should have let Third Aunt stay in that mountain village and farm."
Miko was so angry her face turned pale. "I have something to do, I'm leaving now."
"etc."
Mao Yuling called out to her, and Miko had no choice but to stop. "Sister, is there something you need?"
"At my age, I was able to give birth to you, sister?"
Miko's greatest source of pride in front of these two women is her youth. Youth is an asset, and Li Qingyuan is attracted to her youthful body.
"Sister, please don't make things difficult for me."
"To be fair, I was able to give birth to you, but I have a daughter like you, and I will not let her become like this, accompanying a man older than her own father and becoming his concubine. It is truly despicable."
