Chapter 139: Outsiders
"I promised your father that as long as you give birth to Si Heng's child, the position of the head of the Li family will be your child in the future." Li Tingmo said slowly: "With such a huge benefit, your father knows how to choose."
Zhuang Jie Ning looked at Li Tingmo with amusement, and with a last hope, she said, "Uncle, did you inform Li Siheng before you did these things? His life is in danger, and you still think he will cooperate with you and me to have a baby? Even if he is willing, how can you guarantee that I will get pregnant?"
"He doesn't need to cooperate." Li Tingmo said calmly.
Zhuang Jie Ning felt even colder in her heart. She understood that in the face of absolute interests, all family ties would become fragile and vulnerable. Her father had made the decision just as Li Tingmo said.
She is now just a lamb to be slaughtered on the display board, and her life and death are not her own.
Zhuang Jie Ning closed her eyes tightly, suppressing the ripples in her heart. She smiled bleakly and whispered, "So, do I want to live with someone else?"
She guessed it.
"The Li family has many promising young people. I don't care who you choose, as long as the child is nominally Si Heng's." Li Tingmo's face was immersed in the dim and gloomy light, making it unbearable to look at it.
Zhuang Jie Ning thought she was crazy enough, but it was obvious that Li Tingmo was the real madman.
He could actually say such words.
Zhuang Jie Ning laughed so hard that she couldn't stop. At the end, she bent over with tears in her eyes. She sighed softly and wiped her tears with her hands, saying with emotion, "Uncle, you and my father are indeed friends."
Li Tingmo said calmly: "Jie Ning, what the Zhuang family needs is just the title of Li family's patriarch's wife. As for whether Li Siheng can accompany you for the rest of your life, it is not important at all."
“It’s ridiculous. It’s really ridiculous.”
Tang Yuwei looked at Zhuang Jie Ning indifferently as she cried and laughed. She seemed to be unaware of it and examined her expressionlessly, "Why are you crying? Is my son not worthy of you? If you hadn't dared to do something like drugging, your father wouldn't have agreed so readily. Zhuang Jie Ning, you chose your own path."
"My choice? What did I choose?" Zhuang Jie Ning finally wiped away the tears from her eyes. Her eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at the two people in front of her. "What do you think of me? A tool? A container? I understand. That's how you treated Bian Yue in the beginning! No wonder she married Shen Jinci!"
"But there is no second Shen Jinci in Hong Kong! No one can save you!" Li Tingmo interrupted Zhuang Jie Ning impatiently. He said coldly: "You have no choice now! I warn you, you'd better behave yourself. If you do anything that makes us unhappy again, the Zhuang family will suffer!"
Zhuang Jie Ning's expression gradually became numb. She looked at the cold tea on the table, her graceful face revealing a surprising resentment. She threw all the things on the table to the ground, making a deafening noise.
"What are you doing?"
"Aren't you allowed me to vent my anger? I'm almost going crazy!" Zhuang Jie Ning smiled grimly. She looked at Tang Yuwei coldly and gritted her teeth: "Since you have all reached a consensus, I will marry Li Siheng as you wish."
Li Tingmo sighed, walked forward, and patted Zhuang Jie Ning on the shoulder, "It's good that you've figured it out. Today is the chairman election of Fengcheng Group. Since we are a family, let's go and take a look together."
"Re-election?" Zhuang Jie Ning sneered, and the sarcasm in her words was even stronger: "Li Siheng is also a lunatic. His body is about to collapse, and he is still here to compete with you for power?"
"He's my own son, I'm responsible for him." Li Tingmo smiled, as if the fierce argument and threat just now had never happened. He looked at Zhuang Jie Ning and said slowly: "In short, no matter what the result is today, I will announce your marriage to Si Heng, and you just need to cooperate. By the way, your father is also here, you can chat later."
Zhuang Jie Ning's face was numb and expressionless.
The re-election of the chairman of Fengcheng Group is a significant event in Hong Kong.
Not only Zhuang Yi, the president of Zhuang Group, came, but also Bian Yue, Shen Zhaoli and many aristocratic families who were on good terms with the Li family.
Li Tingmo was planning to announce his marriage at the meeting.
Bian Yue had just returned to Hong Kong from the crew today, and was dragged over by Shen Zhaoli to watch the show. Shen Zhaoli said that he had received an invitation and brought Bian Yue to watch the show.
Bian Yue had no curiosity about the re-election of the chairman of Fengcheng Group, but she wanted to know some old stories about the Bian family.
In that pile of photos, there was a photo of Bian's father, Bian's mother and a strange man. Bian Yue guessed that this man was a member of the Li family's board of directors.
Bian Yue came here mainly to see if he could see this familiar face.
Everyone had their own thoughts. The entire conference room was quiet, but undercurrents were surging.
Bian Yue and Shen Zhaoli sat down on the sofa nearby.
Shen Zhaoli has been chattering non-stop since he sat down, "Bian Yue, who do you think will win in a power struggle between a son and his father?"
"do not know."
"Let's place a bet, otherwise what's the point of just listening?"
Bian Yue pointed at Xie Zhang next to her and said, "Why don't you go and place a bet with him? I'll be happy no matter which one of you loses."
Shen Zhaoli looked at Bian Yue with a hurt look on his face. "We are a family. In your eyes, I am on the same level as that scumbag?"
"How do you know Xie Zhang is a scumbag?" Bian Yuelai became interested and raised her chin towards Shen Zhaoli, saying, "Tell me, where did you hear that?"
"That day in the hospital, you were injured and getting stitches. When Shen Jinci heard about it, he almost attacked Xie Zhang and made such a big fuss. How could I not know?" Shen Zhaoli frowned and looked at Bian Yue and said "tsk". "I think you look like a peaceful and prosperous person, how come you are a disaster?"
Bian Yue didn't expect Shen Jinci to be so angry. He looked too calm.
At this moment, Bian Yue was so angry at Shen Zhaoli's words that she laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about, little brat!"
"Don't call me a brat!"
"Little brat, little brat!"
The two were arguing. Xie Zhang, who was not far away, had already seen it and now hesitated and stepped forward.
"Bian Yue, long time no see." Xie Zhang said in a nervous voice.
Bian Yue restrained her previous willfulness, she looked up at him with a cold expression, "Thank you, young master."
"Bian Yue, are you still angry?" Xie Zhang's pretty face showed a struggling expression.
"Can you please stop blocking my view?" Shen Zhaoli said impatiently, "The meeting is about to start over there, and you standing here really affects my view."
Xie Zhang pretended not to hear anything. He lowered his eyes to look at Bian Yue and sighed, "Bian Yue, I really treat you as my sister. An Jiayi and Yao Yimin, after all, are just outsiders."
"After all, they are just not human beings, right?" Bian Yue said lightly.
Xie Zhang's face changed slightly. The board members beside him began to enter the room, but Xie Zhang stared at Bian Yue, unmoved: "You said I'm cold-blooded?"
