After Li Wei Zhi finished speaking, he waited for Li Mùchén to explode in anger. If Li Mùchén were to lay a hand on him on a day like today, his reputation would be ruined several times over.
However...
"Finished?" Li Mùchén's tone was calm, and he didn't slow down at all, as if he wasn't even slightly provoked.
Li Wei Zhi was stunned and turned his head, only to see Li Mùchén's back. His footsteps were steady, his aura strong and indifferent. In Li Mùchén's eyes, Li Wei Zhi was nothing more than a small and insignificant person.
This feeling made Wei Zhi's emotions explode completely.
"Li Mùchén! Stop right there!" he shouted.
But the person who had already walked to the end of the corridor didn't even turn his head and walked around the corner without slowing down.
"Damn it!" Li Wei Zhi slammed his hand on the wheelchair handle hard, angry that he couldn't catch up and beat Li Mùchén to the ground.
Since childhood, he had never been able to match Li Mùchén, no matter how hard he tried. Li Mùchén was always taller than him, and when he finally managed to pass the entrance exam for Hua Country's top school after three months of hard work, he heard the news that Li Mùchén had been accepted into the world's top university...
Li Mùchén used to be the shining star of the Li Family. Wherever he stood, there was light. Until his legs were crippled by Li Mùchén, who became the infamous criminal of City M.
The light on him was gone.
After the incident, Li Mùchén stayed in City A almost all the time. He came back this time, but no one knew why.
Li Wei Zhi couldn't let Li Mùchén take everything away from him again.
He had to start treating his leg, which had been intentionally neglected for so many years.
Li Wei Zhi tried to calm himself down.
He always thought of himself as someone who didn't show his emotions, but every time he faced Li Mùchén, his emotions easily got stirred up.
But when the incident happened, Li Mùchén also lost control for a while. Now, after only a few years, that guy seemed to have returned to his calm and composed self, which was very annoying.
Li Wei Zhi took a deep breath and pushed his wheelchair forward.
He happened to meet the old lady from the Su Family.
In front of others, Li Wei Zhi always had a gentle and friendly demeanor, and now was no exception.
He smiled softly and greeted her, "Hello, Grandma Su."
Old Mrs. Su was in a hurry to find Yibai when she met Li Wei Zhi at the door. She couldn't help but smile and ask, "Wei Zhi, have you seen my Yibai?"
Li Wei Zhi knew exactly why she had come. Everyone said that he was a kind-hearted and generous person, and Old Mrs. Su's words softened his tone.
However, she didn't know if Li Wei Zhi could accept Yibai's appearance...
But in the next moment, Li Wei Zhi smiled and said, "Yes, I have seen him."
There seemed to be a hint of shyness in his handsome features.
Great! This was settled!
Old Mrs. Su was even more delighted and couldn't help but chat with Li Wei Zhi for a while. The more they talked, the happier she became. Li Wei Zhi was well-mannered and spoke appropriately, which pleased her.
...
On the other side, Li Mùchén walked downstairs expressionlessly. As soon as he turned the corner of the stairs, he saw Yibai standing at the second-floor balcony.
After seeing Li Wei Zhi and then seeing his so-called fiancé, Li Mùchén lost all his initial interest and even added a touch of coldness in his eyes.
He approached indifferently, his voice flatly stating, "I never thought that Young Master Su had a habit of eavesdropping on others."
Yibai looked innocent.
"I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I was just looking for my grandmother and accidentally overheard..."
However, Li Mùchén seemed to be indifferent to whether or not he was eavesdropping, and simply asked coldly, "Where is it?"
Yibai's back stiffened, sensing that Li Mùchén was not in a good mood.
He pursed his lips and took out the dagger Li Mùchén wanted from his small canvas bag he was carrying.
Li Mùchén snatched it away and threw the necklace back at him before turning to leave.
"Wait!" Yibai held onto the necklace and hurried after him, speaking as Li Mùchén frowned, "You gave me a check earlier, and I intend to cash in on that promise. The patient you mentioned, is it your grandmother? I can help you treat her."
He had overheard Li Mùchén and Li Wei Zhi's conversation earlier and was sure that he needed Li Mùchén as an ally.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?
"Heh." Li Mùchén chuckled and said, "No need. If Young Master Su really wants to help, then pretend you don't know me and don't appear in front of me again."
Yibai asked in confusion, "Why? Do you really hate me?"
Upon hearing this, he quickly explained, "When I took your dagger before, it was because I wanted to treat myself..."
But Li Mùchén interrupted him directly.
"Young Master Su, don't you understand what I'm saying? As Li Wei Zhi's fiancé, what do you mean by approaching me so eagerly?"
His eyes were full of impatience, and there was even a hint of disgust in his expression.
Emma was taken aback. "I– I– although I'm his fiancé currently, and I don't want to marry him..."
However, James had no intention of continuing the conversation with him and walked away without even seeing the old lady. To him, this prospective brother-in-law was useless.
Moreover, he didn't want to have anything to do with anything related to Li Wei Zhi.
Anything associated with him is dirty and disgusts him beyond limitations.
Li Mùchén walked away without looking back, and Yibai watched him leave in a daze. He quickly blurted out, "I believe you're innocent in the matter of Li Wei Zhi's leg!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mùchén stopped in his tracks. Hearing Li Wei Zhi's name again and that matter being mentioned his pheromones became feircer emanating a dark and heavy pressure making his displeasure evident.
But just as Yibai was about to continue speaking, Li Mùchén took off even faster than before.
He scratched his head in confusion, not knowing which sentence he said wrong that caused Li Mùchén's attitude towards him to make a 180-degree turn.
However, it didn't matter. Allies had to make their own value known first.
Just then, footsteps sounded from upstairs, and someone came down.
It was Grandma.
But at this moment, Old Mrs. Su seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Grandma?" Yibai approached and took the old lady's hand, asking, "Is Old Madam Li's illness getting better? You look very happy."
At the mention of Old Madam Li , the corners of Old Mrs. Su's mouth that had lifted up flattened again.
"No, her illness... never mind, I'll tell you later. After the banquet, you come with me to see her."
"Okay."Yibai nodded and agreed. He was also curious about this Old Madam Li whom he had never met before.
He wanted to know why someone with high status, power, and a luxurious life would choose the path of suicide.At first he had thought that old Madam Li had died because of an illness. It was only later did he got to know that madam Li had commited suicide because her illness couldn't be treated.Her funeral was held privately only close friends and important business partners had attended her funeral so he still doesn't knows what kind of illness drove her to take her own life.
"Oh, by the way..." Old Mrs. Su patted his hand and said, "I just saw Li Wei Zhi. He should be a good husband in the future. You should cherish him and hold on to him tightly. Do you understand?"
