Chapter 873: Scheming Li Jin

With a chilling look, she summoned the security personnel to drive out those self-righteous relatives.
At that moment, Li Yuan deeply regretted his actions.
Previously, Guan Yi had suggested that he separate his assets from the family. Back then, he thought Li Zhe would eventually take over as the head, and the pack of unsavory characters wouldn’t stand a chance against him. So, he paid little attention.
It was this lack of attention that left Li Yuan unable to shake off those relatives who were clearly overstepping their bounds.
Holding her phone, Li Jin looked at Li Yuan with a worried expression. “Grandfather, there are many articles online slandering Li Zhe. Some even dug up his past scandals. Many media outlets are setting the tone, claiming that Li Industries is in chaos without a leader, and even spreading rumors of us selling assets and restructuring, causing the stock price to plummet.”
Li Jin’s words made the two old men sigh.
With a morose tone, Li Jin said, “It’s all my fault. My abilities are limited, and I can’t be of much help.”
Li Peng comforted, “We failed to consider the implications beforehand, allowing them to exploit the situation.”
Li Jin nodded but continued, “It’s just that, as a member of the Li family, I feel powerless. I am truly ashamed.”
Li Yuan sighed softly, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”
Li Jin felt a growing sense of anxiety. She had already expressed herself to this extent, yet these people seemed oblivious to her intentions.
Li Zhe was no longer in the picture. Didn’t they still have this granddaughter to rely on?
Didn’t Li Yuan suggest that she find a husband to marry into the Li family and inherit Li Industries?
Why wasn’t that mentioned now?
Li Jin felt impatient but dared not show it on her face. She feared that Li Yuan would think she was like those relatives, coveting the vast family business of Li Industries.
Li Dan consoled, “It’s okay. When Ah Zhe faces some hardships outside and realizes life isn’t that simple, he will come back.”
Li Jin was instantly frustrated. How could her grandfather be so naive? Once Li Zhe returned, wouldn’t these industries become his again?
Li Peng, upon hearing the name Li Zhe, got angry and cursed, “Unfilial son!”
Li Yuan turned to Li Peng, his face full of anger, “Look at the fine son you raised. He inherited the same behavior as his mother. He learned nothing about family responsibility, behaving recklessly and disregarding the entire Li
Industries. He cared little for the well-being of all the employees of Li
Industries.’
Li Peng felt hollow inside after being scolded by his father, unable to speak, silently enduring the reprimand.
News of the decline in Li Industries’ stock and internal chaos also reached Li Zhe and Meng Yu.
Meng Yu worriedly asked, “Do you want to go back and take a look?”
Li Zhe lay on Meng Yu’s lap, blissfully saying, “It’s not time yet. Let them make a fuss for now. Besides, do you really think those old folks in the clan can do anything to Li Industries?”
Nieng Yu smiled and said, “I know you’ve planned ahead. It’s just in case something unexpected happens, and you might regret it”
Li Zhe flipped over and lay directly on Meng Yu. With a satisfied expression, he said, “As long as you’re by my side, I don’t care about anything else. As for those assets and material possessions, I can always earn them back.”
“What about your parents and family?” Meng Yu was genuinely concerned.
Li Zhe slowly moved on top of Meng Yu, then cupped his face and said earnestly, “Don’t worry about my mother. She’s more open-minded than me. As for my father and grandfather, they will come around. Trust me, don’t worry about these things for me.”
Hearing Li Zhe’s words, Meng Yu felt a bit more at ease.
Well, Li Zhe might have been unreliable at times, but he never dropped the ball on important matters.
Seeing Meng Yu l s relaxed expression, Li Zhe contently planted a kiss on Meng Yu’s lips before the two began to pack their luggage for their overseas trip.
“Should I bring disposable underwear? It’ll save the trouble of washing them later,” Li Zhe said while packing.
“You’re just lazy,” Meng Yu replied with a teasing smile.
Their eyes met for a moment, filled with deep affection.
Li Zhe sifted through Meng Yu l s clothes, selecting a few of his typical outfits and neatly folding them into the suitcase. Sensing something peculiar, he playfully remarked, “Ah Yu, there’s something in this piece of clothing of yours..”
