Chapter 833: Announced on the Internet! Bai Jinxi’s Image Crumbled (2)
Yu Xiheng’s gaze deepened, yet his emotions remained unreadable.
“Here, an invitation for you.” Si Fuqing handed him a few black and gold invitations. “I’ll be recording a program at the cultural exhibition, and you’re invited.”
Yu Xiheng accepted the invitation, raising an eyebrow. “But when did you learn embroidery?”
“Hmm?” Si Fuqing thought for a moment. “A while ago, when I was wandering around, I learned it in a village I passed through.”
She wasn’t lying.
In reality, she had gotten lost in a village within the game “Eternity,” where she triggered a quest and learned various embroidery techniques, including the long-lost art of Moon Embroidery.
Yu Xiheng nodded slightly and gestured for her to get in the car.
Feng San watched in astonishment.
Only ghosts and Brother Nine would believe such a story from Miss Si.
Was this the power of love?
He had much to learn.
**
Two days later, at the LI family residence.
“Quiet, I have a few things to announce,” Old Master LI said, tapping the table, his expression stern. “First, the matter of Su Yang acknowledging his ancestors and returning to the family. Our LI family’s bloodline must not be lost; we must hold a grand banquet!”
“We must prove Su Yang’s identity to everyone in Sijiu City and ensure he is not wronged.”
Su Yang had no particular feelings towards Old Master LI.
Old Master LI’s kindness was mostly due to the rigid rules of the LI family.
The only family member Su Yang truly acknowledged was LI Yuzhi.
As for the mother he had never met, he had no feelings for her.
“The second matter is the chairman election next week,” Old Master LI continued. “I’m old and it’s time for the young to take over.”
He raised his hand, signaling for his assistant to bring the documents.
There were two candidates.
LI Yuzhi and LI Yanchen.
This was also a battle between two factions within the LI family.
In just two days back at the company, LI Yuzhi had already demonstrated a firm hand, bringing in the companies he had established over the years and quickly taking over half of the LI Group.
This made many shareholders hesitant about which side to support.
LI Yanchen’s expression was dark, his fists clenched.
He had just realized that LI Yuzhi had been pretending all these years!
Even Old Master LI had been deceived, let alone him.
“That’s all. Meeting adjourned,” Old Master LI announced, waving his hand.
After he left, the shareholders gradually rose and left.
LI Yanchen cast a cold glance at LI Yuzhi and Su Yang, who were surrounded by several shareholders, his resentment growing.
He held back his anger and left with a grim face.
Such a significant matter as the chairman election was naturally known to Second Madam LI as well.
“Yanchen, are you sure we can secure this deal?” she asked, worried. “If we lose this deal, LI Yuzhi will take advantage of the situation, and we’ll have no place to stay!”
Given LI Yuzhi’s methods, not killing LI Yanchen would be a mercy.
“Mom, don’t worry,” LI Yanchen reassured her, his eyes dark with exhaustion. “The deal is secure. I’ve contacted Mr. Florent, and he will support us during the election.”
Florent was from the Free State.
LI Yanchen knew how much it meant to Old Master LI to have the LI family break into the Free State, so he couldn’t afford to fail. He had to win!
Second Madam LI felt relieved but sighed. “It’s a pity we can’t establish a connection with the Ji family from the Free State. Things would be smoother if we could.”
But at least they had Florent’s support. What about LI Yuzhi and Su Yang?
They had no connections in the Free State.
Second Madam LI felt assured.
This weekend’s chairman election would be the end for LI Yuzhi and Su Yang.
**
Old Master LI personally organized the event for Su Yang’s return to the LI family.
He sent invitations to the elite circles of Sijiu City.
As Su Yang was a top figure in the entertainment industry, all the major social platforms also joined in.
The PR department of the LI Group immediately sprang into action.
[@LIGroupV: Welcome, First Young Master! Everyone, please welcome! @SuYangV]
A listed company didn’t usually attract much attention on Weibo.
But tagging Su Yang caused an explosion of reactions.
[????]
[Am I seeing things? First Young Master of the LI family?]
[!!! Su God is an orphan, and the LI family’s eldest son has been missing for twenty years? The ages match, this is incredible! What a coincidence!]
[I need to calm down. How did Su God suddenly become the LI family’s eldest son?]
[So… Si Fuqing really brings good luck. Su Yang was about to be blacklisted, and now he’s the LI family’s eldest son.]
[I’m starting to believe she’s a lucky koi fish. I need to pray to her before my exams.]
[So the rumor about quitting the industry to inherit billions is true?!]
[I laughed. Inherit billions? Do you even know how the LI family trains their heirs? It’s a cutthroat competition. Su Yang has no business skills; what can he inherit?]
But such comments were quickly drowned out by the curious netizens.
With Su Yang’s identity revealed, the LI Group’s stock prices soared, something the board hadn’t anticipated.
Old Master LI couldn’t stop smiling, repeatedly praising Su Yang as the LI family’s lucky star.
But when LI Yuzhi brought up the heinous acts in LI Yanchen’s past , Old Master LI brushed it aside.
“Disappointed,” LI Yuzhi muttered, closing his eyes. “Your grandfather cares most about the family’s interests.”
“Without hope, there’s no disappointment,” Su Yang said calmly. “Dad, didn’t my big sister also say that even with the LI family’s power, we would be at the bottom in the Free State?”
“You’re right. We can’t rely on the old master. We have to do it ourselves.” LI Yuzhi sighed, his gaze hardening. “Now that your identity is restored, let’s deal with the Bai family issue first.”
Su Yang, proud by nature, had hidden all his sufferings.
LI Yuzhi had asked Si Fuqing, only to learn that Su Yang’s leg had been crippled because of Bai Jinxi.
Not only was Bai Jinxi ungrateful, but she had also abandoned Su Yang at a critical moment and used LI Yancheng to suppress him. This was something LI Yuzhi couldn’t tolerate.
Trying to ruin Su Yang’s reputation?
Let’s see who falls first!
LI Yuzhi immediately spread the truth about Bai Jinxi’s actions within the elite circles.
Bai Jinxi had intended to use the LI family to climb into the upper echelons of Sijiu City?
Not a chance.
“Su Yang, come with me to the Bai family.” Li Yuzhi sneered. “I want to see how they explain treating you like this!”
When the Bai family found Bai Jinxi, they had also harshly humiliated Su Yang.
LI Yuzhi admitted he wasn’t a good person and would repay every slight.
When it came to Su Yang, he wouldn’t hold back.
For the past few days, Bai Jinxi had been carefully serving LI Yanchen.
When he finally relaxed his guard a bit, she managed to slip out.
Because of LI Yanchen, she had access to various high-end venues.
These were things Su Yang could never provide.
Bai Jinxi planned to visit home.
But as she left the villa, she noticed something wrong.
The socialites she passed were pointing at her, their eyes filled with disgust.
Only the elite of Sijiu City could live here.
Bai Jinxi clutched her bag tightly, feeling uneasy.
“That’s her. Disgusting. Always pretending to be weak and pitiful. Such a hypocrite, what a typical green-tea bit*h. The tea smell is too strong for me.”
“She doesn’t even look at herself. How dare she spread rumors that both LI family young masters like her. Shameless.”
Bai Jinxi’s face changed. She couldn’t help but snap, “What are you talking about?”
How could they know about this?
“Don’t you know, Miss Bai? Aren’t you the future lady?of the LI family?” The socialite stopped, her expression mocking. “Didn’t you want to climb to the top? After bullying the legitimate heir, do you think the LI family will let you go?”
