Chapter 901: Chapter 901: Have Him Attend the Celebration Banquet
This matter became the catalyst that led to 16-year-old Li Shengxiao taking Lin Zhiya to leave the Lin Family.
His aunt was well aware of why he was reluctant to attend the celebration banquet and hesitated before speaking, “Actually, Shengxiao, have you ever considered that the incident might not be related to your grandfather? He might not have known that the man had such a malicious intent. Zhiya is his biological daughter; he has no reason to do that to her.”
Li Shengxiao pressed his lips together, “Aunt, I don’t want to talk about this.”
He didn’t want to discuss the faults of his elders behind their backs. Everything was in the past, and they had left the Lin Family. He didn’t want to discuss right or wrong about the things that saddened his mother anymore.
He had learned from that incident— in this world, there is no right or wrong, only the strong and the weak!
He was too weak at the time, so he couldn’t protect the people around him. Now that it was over, it was over.
His aunt fell silent for a moment, then sighed, “Alright, we won’t talk about it if you don’t want to.”
“Shengxiao, come to your uncle’s celebration banquet tonight, really. Consider it a personal request from your aunt. It wasn’t easy for your uncle to come back this time, and he has to be stationed in a war zone at the beginning of the year. You know how chaotic those places are, filled with all sorts of factions, and it’s uncertain whether he can return next time. Just come and see him, have a drink with him; it would make him happier than anything!”
Lin Teng truly loved his own younger sister, but unfortunately, the conflict that arose between his father and sister put him in a difficult position.
His heart stood with his sister, and he had quietly used his own influence to help Li Shengxiao, especially when Li Shengxiao, at the age of 16, suddenly announced that he was taking over the Li Group. Some of the major shareholders took advantage of their seniority to cause trouble behind the scenes. It was all thanks to him secretly arranging for those people to be dealt with.
However, he also believed that his father would not harm his own daughter for profit. He had been relentless in his pursuit of the truth over the years.
But the man was also unlucky, dying in a car accident not long after the incident.
With the man dead, there was no way to prove anything.
It became difficult to investigate further.
Since her husband dearly loved his sister and nephew, she naturally followed her husband’s lead. Also, since Li Shengxiao spent much of his childhood under her care, Su Yi considered this nephew almost like her own son. When Li Shengxiao resolutely moved out of the Lin Family and cut ties with them, it was as painful for her as if her heart had been thrown into boiling oil.
“I’m getting old, and I don’t know how many years I have left. Since your cousin married abroad, there’s no one even to talk to at home. If you don’t come tonight, we both don’t know what the point in holding this celebration banquet is.” Su Yi spoke with deep melancholy. She didn’t want to affect Li Shengxiao’s mood but still tried to cheer up and added, “Oh right, last time I heard from Xiansui that you’re dating a girlfriend, and you even confronted your grandfather head-on for her. It’s rare for you to like a girl so much, bring her along tonight. Let us help you check her out, just to be sure.”
Xiansui was Su Yi’s niece from her maternal side, and they were close. Since Su Yi’s daughter had married abroad and her husband had been stationed overseas in recent years, having Su Xiansui by her side at least made her less lonely.
Li Shengxiao didn’t like the girls around him who were too eager and jumpy. He pursed his lips tightly and protectively said, “I am very certain about what I want, and I won’t change my decision just because others don’t approve.”
Su Yi chuckled wryly, “Your uncle and I haven’t even said we dislike that girl, and you’re already worried we won’t approve of her.”
