Li Haoqin was pleased to see Li Beinian’s expression.

Let us see if she can still continue being smug!

Contrary to their belief, Li Beinian straightened her back and stopped hiding behind Old Mr. Li. She stared at Li Kun coldly and said, “I have no one to take me in hand.”

She was composed and there seemed to be a tinge of envy in her large and watery eyes when she was staring at Li Kun.

“It’s my fortune to have been able to survive until now. Not everyone is as lucky as you to be showered with the love of your parents all your life. You’re already 20 years old and yet you’re still acting like a child. You need your parents to stand up for you all the time… ”

Her voice sounded colder and colder and she even seemed to be smirking in self-mockery.

“You don’t have to be beaten to a pulp just for taking an extra bite of food and you don’t have to play cute or obedient just to avoid being hit… ” Li Beinian then stared at Li Kun and continued, “What are manners compared to survival?”

Old Mr. Li’s heart sank and his eyes turned red immediately.

She could have received excellent education from the beginning and be nurtured into an outstanding heiress of the Li Family. Yet, she had to go through unnecessary torment and suffering.

It was all his fault for failing to look after her carefully, thus giving others the chance to carry her away!

That was also the reason Li Beinian’s biological mother developed depression which killed her.

The matter remained as a thorn in Old Mr. Li’s heart.

Li Beinian’s words had struck a sour note within him.

“Niannian, throughout all these years, I’ve let you down. I won’t let anyone bully you again from now on. No one can bully you for as long as I live!” Old Mr. Li said remorsefully.

He sounded firm and solemn!

Old Mr. Li was a reputable military personnel when he was younger and hence, he was still rather dominant now, even though he was old in his years. There was an icy cold gaze in his cloudy eyes which made him look rather murderous.

Although it seemed as if he were saying those words to Li Beinian, he was actually directing them at the people standing by the door.
