After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Chapter 828: Return to the LI Family, and We’ll Settle The Score Once and For All! (1)

As the two bodyguards, Feng San and Xi Jiang, had initially only worried about their salaries, they were now increasingly concerned about Yu Xiheng’s lifelong matters.

After a week of study, Feng San didn’t claim to fully understand everything, but he had grasped some of it.

From his observations, Miss Si was not oblivious to matters of romance; after all, she could casually find a matchmaking candidate for Yu Tang.

However, the problem was that Miss Si’s heart was still solely devoted to money.

Feng San was deeply worried.

But there was nothing he could do to help, so he chose to remain silent.

Last week it had snowed, but this week spring had begun, and the temperature was gradually rising.

“Today, I did another good deed,” Si Fuqing said, resting her chin on her hand. “I can accumulate some virtue.”

Yu Xiheng chuckled softly at her words. “You do good deeds every day; you’ve accumulated a lot of virtue already.”

He paused before asking, “Did the audition for the new drama go well?”

“Of course, with me involved, it was a piece of cake,” Si Fuqing winked. “Sister Sang was moved to tears by my performance. Unfortunately, I forgot to record it, or I could have used it to blackmail her later.”

“Oh?” Yu Xiheng smiled slightly, his voice soft. “Then I look forward to this drama.”

Dying too early had indeed been a significant regret for him.

Not because he sought immortality, but because there were many things he hadn’t finished.

If he had lived a few more years, thoroughly suppressing the barbarians, perhaps JIANG Zhaoyue wouldn’t have had to lead the army.

He had promised JIANG Haiping that he would look after the Jiang family and find a good husband for JIANG Zhaoyue.

Originally, JIANG Zhaoyue had reached the age for marriage.

But due to the deaths of JIANG Xuanjin and the other eight brothers in battle, she chose to observe mourning.

He had agreed to it.

He hadn’t expected that JIANG Zhaoyue, being a member of the JIANG family, with their generations of steadfast resolve, would neglect her own affairs.

Yu Xiheng closed his eyes briefly.

He had ultimately failed the JIANG family.

Later generations spoke of the JIANG family’s loyalty and valor, regretting that the family had not survived, otherwise, they would have been one of the four great families today.

Only he knew how brutal those times had been, not something that could be described in a few words.

“Hey, boss, I have a favor to ask,” Si Fuqing suddenly said. “Can you help me?”

“Hmm?” Yu Xiheng collected his thoughts and looked at her.

“Although this drama doesn’t feature Emperor Yin, it has a voice role. I think only you can do it justice,” Si Fuqing clasped her hands together, her fox-like eyes shining brightly. “Please, I promise you won’t get criticized.”

Yu Xiheng’s eyes gradually deepened, becoming slightly sharper.

But seeing her sincere intent, he sighed, “Since it’s a favor, if I don’t help, wouldn’t it hurt your feelings?”

Si Fuqing clapped her hands, “Boss, I knew you were the best.”

She took a bite of grilled meat and glanced around, spotting a bald head glinting in the direction of Guanghua Temple.

Shining brightly in the dark night.

“Hey, monk, why aren’t you staying in the temple at night, but coming out to drink and enjoy yourself?” Si Fuqing crossed her arms and teased, “Be careful, the Buddha might punish you if he knows.”

“Amitabha,” the monk was startled at first, but upon seeing Si Fuqing, his expression became slightly serious, “Benefactor, you may not know, for others, the Buddha is above their heads, but for me, the Buddha resides in my heart.”

Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow, “What a twisted logic.”

The monk clasped his hands together, “Seeing that benefactor is in good spirits today, I’m also happy for you.”

“At least you have some sense,” Si Fuqing said leisurely, “With wine but no meat, it’s less fun. I’ll share some with you.” fгeewebnovёl.com

Gratefully receiving a bucket of grilled meat, the monk smiled broadly, “Thank you, benefactor.”

He happily carried the grilled meat in one hand and a wine jug in the other, sneaking back into Guanghua Temple.

The next morning, at the LI family’s old mansion.

LI Yanchen hadn’t received any news from the shadow guards. He frowned, finally sensing that something was amiss.

However, he still had matters at the company. Just as he was about to leave, he ran into LI Yuzhi coming back.

LI Yanchen looked down on LI Yuzhi, but out of courtesy, he called out, “Big uncle.”

LI Yuzhi glanced at him indifferently, “You still call me big uncle.”

LI Yanchengs frown deepened.

His eyes turned cold, but before he could say anything, LI Yuzhi lifted his leg and kicked him in the chest.

Caught off guard, LI Yanchen had no time to react and was knocked to the ground.

The force was so strong that he was thrown three or four meters away.

The commotion instantly alarmed everyone in the mansion.

Second Madam LI screamed and rushed downstairs, heartbroken, to help LI Yanchen up, “Big brother, do you want to kill him?!”

Old Master LI was both shocked and angry, “LI Yuzhi, what are you doing!”

“I’m just disciplining a junior as his uncle,” LI Yuzhi sat down, speaking lightly, “Every member of the LI family was raised with beatings. If he can’t even take a kick from me, how can he be the next heir?”

Old Master LI’s expression changed.

LI Yuzhi was right.

The LI family had always been strict in raising their descendants, and Old Master LI had particularly high standards.

After LI Yuzhi’s downfall, he had shifted his hopes to LI Yanchen, having him trained in both business and martial arts.

Yet, despite similar training, how could the younger LI Yanchen not measure up to LI Yuzhi?

Old Master LI’s gaze deepened, his thoughts subtly shifting.

Today’s LI Yuzhi reminded him of the spirited heir of the LI family from twenty years ago.

“Big brother, why are you so irritable as soon as you return?” Second Master LI observed the situation and spoke up, “All these years, you’ve been searching for a nonexistent child, and the family’s affairs that should have been managed by you fell to us.”

“You are the eldest son. Father had high hopes for you, but how have you repaid him?”

Sure enough, Old Master LI’s expression changed again at these words, and he said lightly, “Yuzhi, no matter what your brother has done wrong, we’re family. Apologize and let it go. There’s no need to be so aggressive.”

Second Master LI’s expression grew smug.

He had hired someone to kill LI Yuzhi through the dark web, not using anyone from the LI family.

The dark web maintained strict confidentiality for its clients.

Even if LI Yuzhi knew it was his doing, he had no proof.

“Second brother, let me ask you,” LI Yuzhi’s gaze swept coldly over him, “How can someone your age be so heartless as to harm a baby?”

Second Master LI’s heart skipped a beat, “Brother, what do you mean?”

He had thrown LI Yuzhi’s son into the Kalanri Dukedom, with several changes of hands along the way.

Without evidence, what good would it do LI Yuzhi to accuse him in front of the LI family?

Old Master LI had also surmised that a family member was responsible but had no way to prove it, thus turning a blind eye.

“Like father, like son.” Ignoring Second Master LI, LI Yuzhi turned his icy gaze to LI Yanchen, who was being supported by Second Madam LI, “Your good son enjoys harming his kin and even dares accuse my son of stealing his woman? Do you even know what kind of trash you fancy?”

LI Yanchen, still in pain from the kick, hadn’t caught on to LI Yuzhi’s meaning.

But Second Master LI’s expression changed drastically.

He had heard rumors of an actress in the industry offending LI Yanchen.

Could it be…

Old Master LI’s body trembled violently, “Yuzhi… what are you saying? Who are you talking about?”

“Su Yang, don’t be afraid. With your dad here, come over,” LI Yuzhi called coldly. “Let’s lay it all out today. Twenty years ago, twenty years later, we’ll settle the score once and for all!”
