Chapter 171: Chapter 169: No Bottom Line

"Li Yuexin, this has nothing to do with you. Step aside."

Han Min gritted his teeth.

"How can it have nothing to do with me?" Li Yuexin’s emotions suddenly went out of control. "Do you know that it is because you tried everything to please the Nangong Family, because that day, you forced me to go upstairs to talk to Nangong Li alone, and Nangong Li assaulted me.

He assaulted me. How can you say it has nothing to do with me?"

By the end of his words, Li Yuexin was already in tears.

Speaking of this matter, Li Yuexin felt utterly devastated.

Li Shiqi and his wife were stunned, staring blankly at Li Yuexin.

Li Yuechan also turned sharply to Li Yuexin. "Yuexin, that beast, he... he actually..."

"Sister, everything I said is true, which is why you absolutely must not go to the Nangong Family."

Li Yuexin sobbed.

"You have suffered."

Li Yuechan extended her hand to embrace Li Yuexin, the two sisters crying together.

Long Chen quietly sighed, considering how tragic it was for the sisters to be born into such a family.

"Yuexin, that beast, he really did that?"

Li Shiqi’s eyes reddened.

"What do you think? Do you mean I’m joking about this sort of thing?"

Li Yuexin clenched her teeth in anger.

Li Shiqi, veins bulging with anger, said, "I didn’t expect, I really didn’t expect that that bastard was such a person. Yuexin, I’m sorry."

"Yuexin, we didn’t know either, that that bastard would do such a thing."

Han Min spoke softly, trying to comfort Li Yuexin.

But in reality, both of them actually knew what had happened that day.

Because on that day, when that incident occurred, both were present.

Only after hearing about the incident did Li Shiqi and Han Min quietly leave.

Therefore, when Long Chen arrived later, he could not find the couple.

But now, the couple pretended to know nothing, and Li Shiqi’s eyes even reddened.

Such acting skills, not to snatch an Oscar really is a pity.

"About this matter, I want Nangong Li to go to prison. That day, I went to the hospital and preserved relevant evidence, just waiting for the right moment. Dad, Mom, do you support me?"

Li Yuexin asked.

"This..."

Li Shiqi was stunned.

Han Min also paused, then hurriedly said, "Yuexin, once this kind of thing spreads, it will have a huge impact on your reputation. Moreover, the Nangong Family is so powerful. What if it ends up not only unable to get Nangong Li to prison but also ruins your reputation and gets branded as a manipulative woman who failed to climb up the ranks?"

"Your mother is right; we need to be cautious. Since Nangong Li has already been incapacitated, maybe we should let this matter go," Li Shiqi said.

"Heh, as expected."

Li Yuexin was profoundly disappointed in her own parents at this moment.

"Yuexin, Yuechan, let’s not argue anymore. From today on, our family will live well together without any conflicts. We won’t think about these impractical matters anymore, okay?"

Han Min pulled Li Yuexin and Li Yuechan, looking sincere.

"It’s impossible, completely impossible."

Li Yuexin shook off Han Min’s hand. "You can’t hide it from me, and I won’t be morally blackmailed by you. Heh, the truth is, you both knew what happened that day, but you didn’t come to save me. You let me scream until my throat was hoarse; you all pretended not to hear, and eventually even left home.

And you ignored my being assaulted just for a little benefit. Very well, really very well. Therefore, from today on, I will no longer live at home. I’ll stay away from you, and what you do is none of my business, nor can you ever use me again."

"Yuexin, I support you."

Long Chen smiled slightly.

"Brother-in-law, in this world, only you and my sister truly care for me."

Li Yuexin, wiping her tears, looked at Long Chen.

"Yuexin, don’t be afraid. No matter the cost, your sister will help you, and get that Nangong Li into jail."

Li Yuechan clenched her teeth, her eyes brimming with a cold resolve.

"Sister, actually I was just testing them. Let me tell you a secret."

Li Yuexin bent down to Li Yuechan’s ear and whispered a few words, telling her how she had incapacitated Nangong Li.

Li Yuechan was shocked and then came to a realization. "So that’s it, well done."

"Yuexin, what did you tell your sister?" Han Min hurriedly asked.

"I won’t tell you," Li Yuexin stated directly.

"Aunt Han, I think you should tell Yuechan who her biological father is because her real father may not even know he has a daughter," Long Chen said earnestly to Han Min.

"I don’t remember."

Han Min immediately responded.

She would never reveal this!

Little did she know, Long Chen already knew.

However, Long Chen wanted Han Min to tell Li Yuechan herself.

After all, Han Min was Li Yuechan’s mother. If she told her personally, it might lessen Li Yuechan’s disappointment in her.

But Han Min seemed not to understand Long Chen’s good intentions!

"Aunt Han, if you tell Yuechan the truth now, she might not blame you, but if you keep it hidden, I’m afraid..."

Long Chen trailed off.

This was a clear hint, hoping Han Min would recognize her mistake.

But Han Min stubbornly shouted, "I said I don’t remember, and that’s that. Don’t bring it up again."

"Long Chen, let’s go."

Li Yuechan said bitterly, "If she won’t speak, then let it be, Yuexin, come with us."

She pulled Li Yuexin along.

"Okay, let’s go home."

Long Chen turned and walked away.

The Li couple wanted to stop them, but now, they had no reason to, and could only watch the three leave helplessly.

"What should we do?" Han Min was somewhat panicking. "Now great, both your biological and non-biological daughters have left, the company has huge debts, and without the Nangong family’s help, how are you going to fill this void?"

"The company’s money was all invested; it’s not that we can’t get it back, we just need some time. Right now, we just need to find a way to cover this gap, get through this crisis, and everything will surely improve," Li Shiqi gritted his teeth.

"But how? Eighty million in the hole, how do you plan to cover that?" Han Min pressed.

"Okay, okay, there are two options now," Li Shiqi said gravely. "The first is, isn’t your lover very wealthy? Go to him and borrow the eighty million..."

"Li Shiqi, you bastard, I...I don’t have any lover, and do you think eighty million grows on trees? How can you be so naïve?" Han Min couldn’t contain her anger.

"Then the second option," Li Shiqi continued. "Li Yuechan’s company appears to be doing well; coming up with eighty million might not be impossible. Try asking Li Yuechan, since the Nangong family route is completely cut off now."

"We’re already in this state; how do you expect me to try?" Han Min clenched her fists.

"You are still her mother, darling. Right now, only you can help me. Just get over this hurdle, and when the funds come back, you’ll be a billionaire with billions at your disposal. Won’t it be wonderful to do whatever you want then?" Li Shiqi held Han Min.

"Then...how do you suggest we convince Li Yuechan?"

"Simple, if soft measures don’t work, use hard measures," Li Shiqi smirked. "Go to her company’s rooftop and threaten to jump off. It’s a matter of minutes to resolve, isn’t it?"

"That’s not a bad idea." Han Min pondered.

"So let’s decide on that, heh. As for Yuexin, don’t worry. Once she cools down after a couple of days and you coax her a bit, she’ll naturally come back." Li Shiqi smiled.

"Sigh, but I did not expect Nangong Li to do those things to Yuexin that day."

"Men, which one isn’t lecherous? Our Yuexin is so beautiful, it’s normal he had ulterior motives.

Moreover, Yuexin has had several boyfriends before, it’s not her first time, it’s not that serious."

"That’s true too."

...

If Li Yuexin and Li Yuechan heard their utterly unscrupulous conversation, they might be angered to the point of spitting blood.

At this moment, instead of taking them straight home, Long Chen brought them to a hotel and booked a room.

"Long Chen, why book a room?"

Li Yuechan was confused.

"Yuexin needs help to resolve her inner conflicts first, then we’ll go back," Long Chen explained.

"I still don’t understand, how?"

"In the medical canon, there is a technique that can cleanse both mind and body, remove impurities, purify the spirit, and relieve worries. I think Yuexin needs it. Do you understand what I’m saying?" Long Chen looked at Li Yuechan.

"I see," Li Yuechan suddenly realized. "But does such a mystical thing really exist?"
