Chapter 1128: Chapter 1128: Li Qiyun is not Li Nantian’s biological child
Li Nantian didn’t expect Old Master Li’s attitude to be so firm, and both choices he was given were unacceptable to him. His ruggedly handsome face was tense as he met Old Master Li’s eyes, asking with restrained questioning, “Why make such a sudden decision? What’s the reason? You have to give me a reason.”
Old Master Li was relentless, his eyes sharpened by time, exuding authority and depth that obscured his thoughts, “There’s no reason!”
The issues in Country T, he already knew about—even if Beijue didn’t mention them, he couldn’t hide them.
Chi Enen had been in a car accident, and only thanks to the second young master of the Xize family was her life not endangered. And the mastermind behind the accident had in fact involved Li Qiyun!
He had lived for more than seventy years, and what Beijue couldn’t see, he saw clearly.
Li Qiyun had developed an inappropriate affection for Beijue!
Such feelings surpassed those of an older sister towards her little brother!
Perhaps Li Qiyun herself hadn’t realized it yet, but he had already perceived it!
He had to make a decision, to sever all possibilities.
Li Nantian didn’t know what happened in Country T, nor did he understand what Old Master Li was thinking. Seeing Old Master Li’s tough response, he finally couldn’t tolerate it anymore and said, “Is it because Qiyun is not of Li family blood, so you must sacrifice her in this way?”
“Dad, although Qiyun is not my own daughter, she has been dutiful and obedient to both you and me over these years. Moreover, you’ve seen the contributions she made to the Li family. She genuinely respects you as her grandfather. Even this time, upon hearing you were ill, the first thing she did when she returned to the country was to come see you. More than twenty years have passed, can’t you regard her as part of the Li family bloodline?”
Li Qiyun’s ears buzzed outside, her mind blank.
Because she was too shocked, she nearly couldn’t hold onto the cane in her hand, but having grown up within the Li family, she received their education.
No matter how extreme the shock, she gritted her teeth and maintained her last bit of composure. She bit her lower lip, and at the critical moment, she gripped the cane tightly.
But her five fingers clenched, her gaze fiercely flickered, and because she used too much force, her knuckles turned white.
What were Grandfather and her father talking about?
She’s not of Li family blood, and not her father’s own daughter? Then who was she? Who were her real parents?
Li Nantian, still hiding his pain, continued to speak, “Do you still not know why Xi Ling gave birth to Qiyun back then? Xi Ling was because of me; I couldn’t protect her, letting the opposing company’s people kidnap her, encountering such an event. Later, she became pregnant, and we didn’t know if the child was mine. When the child was born, it was a daughter. I said that whether she was mine or not didn’t matter, I’d treat her as my child. You requested a paternity test, and the results showed she wasn’t my child. After Xi Ling learned the news from the doctor, unable to bear the blow, she developed depression. It wasn’t long before she jumped off a building.”
Because of his mistake, his beloved wife encountered such an event, and after giving birth to the child, discovered she wasn’t his, unable to bear the pain, choosing to end her own life.
For any man, such events are a burden on life that cannot be endured.
Even though more than twenty years have passed, when Li Nantian speaks of the past, he remains deeply pained!
“Didn’t you also feel indebted to her back then, and accepte Qiyun’s identity? Why suddenly treat Qiyun like this now?”
