Chapter 869: Unfilial Descendant

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the depths of Shen Xi’s heart, a faint sigh escaped her lips. She seemed uncertain about what to do; this hesitant and indecisive behavior was indeed unlike her usual character.

Outside the emergency room stood Li Jin, her gaze as cold and piercing as a venomous snake. She cast a disdainful glance at Guan Lei and Shen Xi.

Back when Shen Xi was poor, she could still contend with her. The present Shen Xi, however, was the heir to two major conglomerates. Li Jin knew that she probably couldn’t compete with her.

However, life wasn’t solely about love. If one couldn’t have the person they love, then they should focus on their career.

With these thoughts in mind, Li Jin’s gaze shifted towards the direction of the emergency room.

As the lights in the emergency room dimmed, Li Yuan was wheeled out.

Everyone expected to see a weak and feeble Li Yuan, but instead, they were met with a furious and wide-eyed figure.

The cause of Li Yuan’s current condition was directly attributed to his sudden rush of anger.

As soon as Li Yuan saw Li Zhe, he climbed off the bed and loudly berated him,

“Unfilial descendant, are you trying to bring an end to the Li family?” In Hai City, Li Industries had only two brothers in Li Yuan’s generation: Li

Yuan and Li Dan.

Each had a son—Li Zhe’s father, Li Peng, and Li Jin’s father, Li Feng.

This meant that in Li Zhe’s generation of the Li family, only Li Zhe and Li Jin remained.

If Li Zhe chose a same-sex marriage and Li Jin was a girl, there would be no one to carry on the Li Industries legacy.

This would likely lead to internal conflicts among the extended Li family members.

So, both Li Yuan and Li Dan vehemently opposed Li Zhe’s choice.

Li Dan timely spoke up, “Ah Zhe, are you planning to give away all the assets of our family lineage? What about those employees who have been with Li Industries for so long? What will happen to them?”

Li Jin chimed in, “Yes, cousin, those uncles have been with us for so long. If you’re not at the helm of Li Industries, they will surely be driven away by our distant relatives.’

The doctor and nurses exchanged glances and finally said, “Although the patient is not in any serious condition now, the emergency room entrance is not the best place for discussions. Would you like to move somewhere else?” Heeding the doctor’s advice, everyone shifted to a different location.

Worried about Meng Yu being outnumbered, Shen Xi followed them. Guan Lei, as a member of the Guan family, naturally went along.

Inside the ward were the two brothers, Li Yuan and Li Dan, as well as Li Zhe and Li Jin. Also present were members of the Guan family – Guan Yi, Guan Yan and his wife, and Guan Lei. The other protagonist, Meng Yu, was there along with Shen Xi.

Li Jin was surprised to see Shen Xi following them. In a tone carrying both hostility and sarcasm, she said, “This is a matter of our Li family. Outsiders don’t need to come over, right?”

Meng Yu cast a scrutinizing gaze at Li Jin, sensing the malice in her tone toward Shen Xi. He spoke up, “Xi is my little sister, and we’re very close. Since today’s matter concerns me, Xi is naturally not an outsider.”

In Meng Yu’s eyes, Xi was the only one he could trust among these people. As for the Guan family, he didn’t have much trust in them.

“Xi is Meng Yu’s family, so she’s not an outsider,” Li Zhe defended.

Li Yuan looked at the stubborn Li Zhe and felt a sharp pain in his chest. His lips trembled with suppressed anger. “Li Zhe, are you trying to infuriate me? I’ll call your parents right now and let them see how they raised a son who goes against human morality, an abnormal being that defies the natural order.’

“Grandpa!” Li Zhe’s tone became stern. “Ah Yu and I truly love each other.

There’s nothing abnormal about it.”

“In this world, it has always been the union of opposites, and marriages are between men and women. Your behavior is far from normal,” Guan Yi couldn’t contain his anger.

Meng Yu responded calmly, “Everyone has the right to choose their path in life, the right to choose a life partner. I don’t think our choice is abnormal.”

Li Yuan’s gaze shifted to Meng Yua Though filled with anger, he restrained himself considering Nieng Yu’s identity, and turned to pleading.

“Ah Yu, I’m begging you. Spare Ah Zhe! He’s the only descendant of our Li family. Without him, our family will be finished. You don’t want to see the entire Li family perish, do you?” Li Yuan pleaded; his face filled with sorrow..
