Liang Yusen let go of the hand that was pulling the car door, turned around and looked at Jing Qiu calmly: "Second sister-in-law, what do you want to ask?"
Jing Qiu's chest rose and fell violently, and he let go of Liang Yusen's hand: "Did you know about Li Yan and Xuan Bao's affair a long time ago? When my brother talked about this matter today, you didn't even raise your eyelids!"
Liang Yusen was silent for a moment, neither admitting nor refuting, just looking at her quietly.
But this reaction hurt Jing Qiu more than any answer, and her eyes instantly turned red: "Liang Yusen, I have been married into the Li family for so many years, and I ask myself if I have ever treated you unfairly!
Why didn't you tell Ronghua and me about such a big thing first? You went straight to my eldest brother and told him about it without telling us. Do you take me and your second brother seriously?"
Jing Qiu's voice suddenly rose, trembling with uncontrollable trembling, "Xuan Bao and Li Yan have been clinging to you since they were young, and they both respect you as their uncle! But now... now you are pushing them to a dead end? Liang Yusen, do you still have a heart?"
Liang Yusen looked at Jing Qiu, who was full of anger, with a heavy gaze. After listening to her accusations against him, he looked at Li Ronghua who followed him, and spoke in a low but clear voice: "Second sister-in-law, second brother, what Li Yan and Xuan Bao did has long been exposed.
The loopholes are clearly there, and anyone with a keen eye can find the clues.
Rather than letting outsiders hold you responsible, you should confess your mistakes proactively to minimize the damage.”
He paused, his Adam's apple rolling: "Brother came from Jing City to Xi City for a visit and investigation. Do you really think it's just a coincidence?
If it weren't for the blood relationship between us, why would he come back to clean up this mess in person?"
Seeing Jing Qiu was about to open his mouth to refute, Liang Yusen raised his hand to stop him, his voice becoming heavier: "Even if I tell you about this in advance, do you and the second brother think you can handle it properly?
I'm afraid you will delay the demolition and reconstruction until the spring, as Xuan Bao said before. But think carefully, will those who are eyeing the Li family give up the activation code to strike the Li family this time? Will they watch you push those unqualified buildings to rebuild?"
After Liang Yusen finished speaking, a sigh escaped from his throat. Then he opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. With the engine roaring, the car rushed out of the garage like an arrow.
Jing Qiu looked at the red light fading away, a trace of mocking smile appeared at the corner of his lips, he turned around and stared at Li Ronghua, his eyes reddened: "I want to ask, are you the eldest brother's biological brother, or is Liang Yusen? He is better at currying favor with the eldest brother than you, the biological brother!
He is so self-righteous. How come he didn't tell us how much money he made by relying on Big Brother over the years? We never said anything about him, but now he blames us for causing trouble for Big Brother!"
Li Ronghua looked at his wife who was almost out of control, pressed her trembling shoulders with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Jing Qiu, calm down first!
Big brother did this to protect the Li family's foundation. Now let Li Yan and Xuan Bao take the initiative to cooperate with the investigation. It is considered as surrendering in the law, and the sentence will be lighter in the future. You don't want to see the children suffer more, right? "
Jing Qiu stared at Li Ronghua, her nails almost digging into her palms. She didn't think about Li Xuanbao's situation, but what about Li Yan! That was the son she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy!
Even if he surrenders himself, he will still be sentenced to jail. Whether he is fined or sentenced to one or two years in prison, it will become a stain on him. How can he lead the company in the future?
Thinking of this, she suddenly collapsed, punching Li Ronghua's chest like raindrops, her eyes red, her voice almost broken: "Li Ronghua! How can you say it so easily? That's our son! Not an object thrown away on the roadside!"
Her tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her delicate makeup. "Brother is obviously capable of settling this matter! Secretary Xu was promoted by him back then, how could he not give him face?
But in order to protect his own reputation, he watched the child jump into the fire pit. What kind of elder is he? If it was Li Shiwen who encountered such a thing today, do you think that the eldest brother would still be so calm, selfless and fair! "
Jing Qiu went more and more outrageous, and his accusations against Li Hongxing were like sharp needles, pricking Li Ronghua's temples and making them throb.
Veins bulged on his forehead and his trembling right hand suddenly rose into the air, his knuckles turning white from the force.
"What? You want to hit me? As long as my son is safe, Li Ronghua, even if you beat me to death today, I will still remember your kindness!" Jing Qiu raised his head to meet Li Ronghua's gaze, his red eyes filled with contempt and despair.
The veins on her neck were bulging with provocative movements. The garage was dead silent, with only the heavy breathing of the two people.
Li Ronghua's palms were suspended in the air. Looking at his wife's face distorted by crying, his Adam's apple rolled violently twice, and all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away. His palms slowly dropped and finally lay weakly on his sides.
A sigh escaped from deep in his chest, carrying with it a tearing pain.
How could he not feel heartbroken? But as Liang Yusen said just now, only if Li Yan and Li Xuanbao took the initiative to admit their mistakes would it be the best choice for them and the Li family.
Li Ronghua's Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, and those words were like a lead block stuck in his chest.
He knew better than anyone that if his elder brother really intervened rashly in this matter, once his political enemies found evidence against him, the entire Li family would be drawn into an irretrievable vortex.
By then, not to mention saving Li Yan, even the Li family's foundation would be destroyed.
He looked at Jing Qiu who was almost on the verge of collapse, and felt a bitter feeling in his heart.
As long as the Li family's foundation does not collapse, even if Li Yan is really imprisoned, when he comes out, he will still be a well-fed and well-clothed young master of the Li family.
Besides, Li Yan only holds shares and dividends in Xuanbao Company and is not involved in the operation. The situation has not yet reached the worst point.
Jing Qiu's hands were very cold. Li Ronghua held them tightly, his voice hoarse like sandpaper rubbing: "Don't talk here, let's go home...let's talk slowly when we get home." His eyes swept across his wife's red eyes, and the bitterness in his throat almost suffocated him.
Jing Qiu sneered and shook off Li Ronghua's hand. The sound of the metal car door being pulled open by her echoed in the garage.
Before Li Ronghua got in the car, she sat in the back seat and said to the driver in a cold voice: "Drive!"
The driver held the steering wheel with both hands and saw the boss standing there in the rearview mirror. Then he saw him slowly put down his hands on the car door. He knew what the boss meant, stepped on the accelerator, and drove out of the garage.
Only Li Ronghua was left standing in the dimming light and shadow, his figure looking lonely and frail.
Li Ronghua had someone bring him a pair of car keys, mechanically sat in the driver's seat, and drove away from Li Garden by himself.
After everyone left, Li Shiwen stood up, walked to Li Hongxing, and said distressedly: "Dad, you haven't had a good rest for a few days. I'll help you go back to the bedroom to rest for a while."
