Chapter 143 - Hated The Idea Of Being Tied Down With Xiao (1/2)
Li Wang, the head of the Li family, slammed his palm heavily on the table and hollered in anger: ”Do you have any idea what you've done? Don't blame others for your own blunders. You should've stopped it before it gets out of hand.”
He then narrowed his perceptive gaze at Li Biyu: ”You disappointed me as well, Biyu! How could you let Rong blurt out all that nonsense?”
Li Biyu suppressed her inner feelings and looked at the Elder. ”From the looks of it, we have no choice but to withdraw!” Li Biyu sighed and shook her head.
”Rong exposed his affair with Miss Wei in front of everyone, there is nothing I can do now to sort things out in front of those aristocratic families.”
Li Wang or also known as Elder Li, let out a long sigh. His throat felt a little parched from scolding his son for so long. He glanced around to look for a cup, poured himself some water and gulped it down.
When he opened his eyes again, his pupils that had always been filled with perspicacity and confidence were now wavering with doubt. .... Should they abandon Li Rong? But he was the last heir of Li.
”The evidence against him is strong. Not only that, we can't let dad accept the blame for the affair.” Li Biyu emphasizes her dad's shameless affair suddenly.
”Biyu----What do you mean by that?” Li Zhi growled angrily. How could she completely disregard his image, slandering him before his father?
”Enough!” Elder Li cut him off rudely. He looked at Li Zhi with bitter disappointment, his voice thundered across the room. His expression was stone cold as he said: ”Because of your foolishness, your thick-witted son was put in jailed. If not for Biyu, you would be sharing a cell right beside him. I can't trust you with Li International, so I will resume my position as CEO hereafter. ”
”Dad! How could you do this! You are being biased. Biyu is speaking nonsense.” Li Zhi countered.
Li Biyu looked between her father, who was still kneeling on the ground, and her grandfather. Speaking up she said softly, ”I am just telling the truth. It was you, after all, that had a relationship with that woman. Although the footage was morphed into Rong's image, it not like a Li family member was completely innocent.”
Li Zhi glared at her cruelly, but could not refute her.
”The Empire's Mine project from Jin City is the most critical project right now for our company. We have poured so many resources into it already that we stand to lose more than just money if this thing falls through. If anyone from our partners in the provincial or federal companies knew that Li Rong was put in jail, would we lose everything in the next second?” Elder Li said with furrowed brows.
Li Zhi's face instantly turned several shades darker. He gripped the hands behind his back tightly to prevent himself from exploring.
Massaging his temples, Elder Li looked at his useless son and ordered: ”Stay away from the company from now on. You should take a rest at home and let Biyu deal with the company affairs. As for your son, I will deal with him.”
Li Zhi deeply regretted his affair with Lu Jia now. To think he once believed that he had the perfect opportunity to ruin the Yue family. Fu*k!!
He forced himself to suppress his ego, hatred, and rage. Yue Wan, that b*tch! I will kill her!
Elder Li Wang didn't have the energy to argue or lecture him anymore: ”Get out!”
He swallowed the saliva that was laced with blood and bowed his head. ”Okay, Father.” He glared intimidatingly at his father before turning to leave with angry steps. His murderous intent increased with each step he took.
Li Biyu smirked and pulled her eyes away from her father. No one saw the malevolence that flashed at the back of her eyes…
