Chapter 281: Chapter 281 Join Us
Feeling the sharp and icy gaze of his younger aunt, Li Xiaoji’s heart suddenly chilled, and he instantly became frightened.
In this family, apart from his grandfather and father, the person he most dreaded was this younger aunt.
This was the madwoman who had once personally made all her own brothers disappear.
"Hehe, sister, Li Xiaoji isn’t wrong," Li Zhongni said, seeing Li Xuanyu getting angry and asking Li Xiaoji to apologize to Yang Fei. He immediately objected, "He’s just a doctor, after all. Is he that busy? After you returned to the country, I took charge of the company’s business in Binhai. I had Li Xiaoji invite him to dinner, but he was refused. Hehe, he really doesn’t see the people from Li Family’s Financial Group in his eyes at all."
Li Xuanyu’s eyebrows knitted together as she looked at Li Zhongni. "Third brother, Yang Fei is a very good friend of mine. Just because he refused your dinner invitation, you think he’s being disrespectful to you?"
Li Zhongni did not expect Li Xuanyu to defend Yang Fei so staunchly and was taken aback before he chuckled. "Sister, are you defending him like this?"
Li Xuanyu said, "He’s my friend, so please respect him."
Li Zhongni smirked with disdain. "Sister, now that your mother has died and the old man has agreed to let me take full charge of the Divine Continent’s companies, and some of your business interests in the country will also be taken over by several other brothers, from now on you will have no real power other than being the nominal Miss of Li Family’s Financial Group."
Li Xuanyu’s pupils contracted slightly, staring at Li Zhongni. "What did you say?"
Li Zhongni laughed heartily. "Hahaha, you’re still in the dark, aren’t you? While you’ve been at the hospital accompanying your mother, the family has had several important meetings, and you’ve already been completely ousted, my silly sister."
A cold light flashed in the depths of Li Xuanyu’s eyes as she looked at Li Zhongni.
Li Zhongni shrugged his shoulders, innocently saying, "Such a big decision is not something I can make on my own. It was the wishes of the entire family, so please don’t hate me for it."
Li Xuanyu smiled disdainfully. "Just a rabble, wait until I’ve taken care of my mother’s funeral, then I’ll deal with you."
Li Zhongni’s heart chilled; he knew his sister well.
The phrase ’ruthless and merciless’ perfectly described her.
Her confident demeanor and certain tone, did she still have some tricks up her sleeve?
Just then, a few people approached.
They were Western faces, including one Asian-looking young man.
The presence of these people was suffocating and oppressive, especially the two young men in the lead who carried a formidable aura, domineering and powerful.
Li Xiaoji’s expression changed, and he instinctively hid behind Li Zhongni, obviously wary of the Asian-looking young man.
"Xuanyu, I heard from Will that you’re old friends with a very good relationship. Why haven’t you ever mentioned it before?" The Asian-looking man, very gentlemanly, came over and said to Li Xuanyu.
Li Xuanyu smiled and replied, "You never asked."
The man chuckled and looked at Will beside him. "Will, you have something to tell Xuanyu, don’t you?"
Will’s gaze, however, had been on Yang Fei all along, sizing him up.
At the man’s words, Will nodded and said to Li Xuanyu, "Xuanyu, who is this?"
He pointed to Yang Fei.
Li Xuanyu smiled and said, "He’s a very good friend I met in the past, a doctor with superb Medical Skill, named Yang Fei, Dr. Yang."
Will immediately extended a hand to Yang Fei with enthusiasm. "Hello, Dr. Yang, my name is Will Smith, and I’m very pleased to meet you."
Yang Fei shook hands with him and then let go.
Will still looked at Yang Fei, smiling as he said, "Mr. Yang’s physique resembles that of a friend of mine."
Yang Fei smiled and said, "Really?"
Will nodded and said, "Yes, it really looks alike."
Yang Fei smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Will’s friend must really make you nostalgic."
On hearing this, Will sighed lightly and nodded, "Yeah, it’s been over a year since I’ve seen him. I heard he got into trouble, and I have been looking for him, but unfortunately, there are no clues, and I have no idea how he’s doing now."
Yang Fei expressed regret, "That’s truly regrettable, but I believe your friend will have good fortune, and he will remember you too."
Will narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Yang Fei, as if trying to discern something.
Yang Fei remained calm and composed, also looking at him.
After a moment, Will slowly shook his head and said, "You’re not him."
Yang Fei let out a laugh, "Mr. Will is really witty and humorous. I’m certainly not your friend; my name is Yang Fei. May I know the name of your friend?"
"His name is Tang," said Will, staring into Yang Fei’s eyes.
"Wow, that sounds like someone from the Divine Continent Country," Yang Fei said with an exaggerated expression. "That’s a nice name."
Will nodded and said, "Not only nice but also famous."
Yang Fei looked blank, "Famous? Is he a big star?"
Seeing his expression, Will shook his head inwardly and laughed, "Right, a big star, but only in certain circles, not known to the general public."
Yang Fei showed an expression of regret and asked no further.
Will’s gaze turned toward Li Xuanyu and said, "Xuanyu, I have something very important to discuss with you. Could we find a quiet place to talk alone?"
Li Xuanyu saw the sincerity in his gaze, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Alright."
She said to Yang Fei, "Mr. Yang, please excuse me for a moment."
Yang Fei said, "Go ahead, it’s alright."
Li Xuanyu then gave Li Xiaoji a warning look before leaving with Will, the Asian man.
As soon as they left, Li Xiaoji turned to Li Zhongni and said, "Uncle, what is Jin Rixu doing with my aunt? Could Jin Group possibly be thinking of supporting my aunt?"
Li Zhongni’s expression changed several times before he slowly shook his head, "Jin Group would prefer our Li Family to be in turmoil; they certainly wouldn’t support someone capable like your aunt ascending to power. But who is this Mr. Will? It seems Jin Rixu is very courteous toward him. Could he influence Jin Family’s decisions?"
Li Xiaoji nodded with worry, "That’s right, my aunt is highly skilled in medicine, and many tycoons have received her help, owing her favors. Her network is very strong; we must not take her lightly."
The uncle and nephew discussed the matter, inadvertently forgetting about Yang Fei altogether.
Yang Fei was content to be left in peace, quietly moving to one side.
He was also thinking about the matter.
What is Will doing talking to Li Xuanyu?
According to what Li Xiaoji and Li Zhongni said, Li Xuanyu had been sidelined by the family and was out of the game. Was Will intending to help her gain a position?
Thinking about the big plan the person Will had introduced wanted to collaborate on, Yang Fei became inwardly vigilant.
Faced with the huge temptation of becoming the helmsman of the Li Family’s Financial Group, could Li Xuanyu maintain her original intentions unchanged?
Meanwhile, Li Xuanyu, accompanied by Will and Jin Rixu, arrived at a quiet place.
Will got straight to the point, "Xuanyu, join us. We were comrades in arms before. If you join us, I can assure you that you will have everything you desire."
