Cai Zhongnian didnât even look at him, instead seating himself and pouring a cup of tea.
âDad, Su Yang has suffered greatly during these twenty years of being lost,â LI Yuzhi said coldly. âDo you know how he lived abroad? He was so young and had to fend for himself, while some people lived a life of luxury!â
âIf it werenât for Su Yangâs luck and the help he received, he would have died in a foreign land long ago!â
Upon hearing this, Old Master LIâs cloudy eyes suddenly sharpened. He shouted, âLI Mingzhong!â
Second Master LIâs legs trembled, and with a thud, he knelt down, his voice quivering, âDad.â
Old Master LIâs voice was stern, âLI Mingzhong, do you realize your crime?â
Second Master LI felt a chill in his heart. âDadâ¦â
The tone of Old Master LIâs voice indicated that he was ready to abandon him.
âEven your own nephew wasnât spared. Your heart is truly malicious!â Old Master LI closed his eyes. âFrom now on, you are stripped of your surname. You are no longer a member of the LI family. Since you are no longer one of us, you will be dealt with according to the rules. Guards!â
Second Master LI was in disbelief and let out a heart-wrenching scream, âDAD!â
He never imagined that Old Master LI would act on just a few words without demanding evidence from LI Yuzhi, and would directly disown him.
Old Master LI didnât even glance at him, merely waving his hand.
Soon, shadow guards appeared and took Second Master LI away.
Outside, the screams continued for a while before falling silent.
LI Yuzhiâs gaze then fell on LI Yanchen. âIndeed, the younger generation surpasses the older. Youâre even more ruthless than your father, wanting to kill Su Yang directly. You donât need to look for your people; Iâve already dealt with them.â
Old Master LI also turned his attention towards LI Yanchen.
âDad!â Second Madam LIâs hand trembled. âDad, itâs all the fault of that little wench from the Bai family. Yanchen was momentarily bewitched. He didnât know the eldest young masterâs identity. The ignorant are innocent.â
âAnd Yanchen is currently negotiating an important deal. You know how crucial he is to the LI Group. Only Yanchen can help our family break into the Free State.â
Hearing this, Old Master LI fell silent.
He struggled visibly, then slowly exhaled. âIndeed, the Bai familyâs woman is more at fault here. I will teach her a good lesson. If she errs again, I will not be lenient.â
Second Madam LI breathed a sigh of relief and cast a triumphant look at LI Yuzhi.
She knew Old Master LI would never abandon LI Yanchen as well.
LI Yanchen was her only support.
âFinding Anzhou is a good thing.â Old Master LI smiled. âStay for a meal today. Iâll invite a few national banquet chefs.â
LI Yuzhiâs expression turned a bit cooler. âSu Yanghas a collaboration with Universal Music. Iâm afraid someone might harm him, so he wonât stay at home. Weâll leave now.â
âAlright thenâ¦â Old Master LI, feeling guilty, handed over a bank card. âOnce Su Yang finishes his work, we can handle the family registration. This nameââ
He was interrupted before he could finish.
This time, it was Su Yang who spoke, âI wonât change my name.â
âAlright, alright, no need to change it,â Old Master LI quickly said. âYour current name is good. Being so popular in the entertainment industry must bring good fortune.â
Su Yang remained indifferent and didnât take the card Old Master LI offered.
âSu Yang, since itâs from Grandpa, you should accept it,â LI Yuzhi suddenly smiled. âYou still need to support those young people in your studio. Money canât be lacking.â
Only then did Su Yang take it, without saying thank you, but Old Master LI was still very pleased.
Second Madam LIâs eyes turned red.
That was a black card!
It must have at least a hundred million on it.
Old Master LI had just given away a hundred million upon Su Yangâs return. If he officially rejoined the family, wouldnât he eventually take over the LI Group they had worked so hard for?
But what did a singer know about business and investment?
However, Second Madam LI dared not say anything.
For Su Yangâs sake, Second Master LI had already been punished by family law. She would gain nothing by protesting.
She had to endure for now.
Fortunately, there was still the Free State as leverage.
âBy the way, Iâll return to the company the day after tomorrow,â LI Yuzhi suddenly turned. âYou donât mind, do you, dad?â
âOf course not!â Old Master LI exclaimed joyfully. âYour return is the best news.â
This statement made Second Madam LI and LI Yanchenâs hearts sink again.
There was no denying it. In Old Master LIâs eyes, the true successor was still LI Yuzhi. Otherwise, he wouldnât have acted so decisively against Second Master LI based on his words alone.
