Chapter 490: Enlightenment
Li Fang's frustration naturally fell in Li Ruizhong's eyes, and the reason for this was nothing more than the departure of the old man and the actions of Li Pujia's mother and daughter that made him feel cold. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Therefore, when Li Pujia called Li and said that Yu Yan's case was about to go to trial, and wanted Li to talk to Li Xiang again about the conditions for withdrawing the lawsuit and the deduction of the compensation, Li still refused.
But after refusing, Li Fang was obviously in a bad mood, insisted on coming to Li Xiang's hometown to have a look, and sat alone in front of Ma Chunyu's grave and played the harmonica all morning.
Li Ruizhong naturally understands his father's entanglement, no matter what, Li Pujia is his only sister, and Yu Yan is his only niece, if Yu Yan really affects the happiness of her life because of this lawsuit, he will definitely be uneasy.
Because although the Yu family is very expensive, it is not very rich, even if Li Pujia and his wife may have a little gray income, they may not be able to put it on the table, and it is unlikely that they will be able to come up with 100 million, otherwise with Li Pujia's pride, she will not repeatedly propose to use the family property given to Li Xiang by the old man to deduct the compensation.
Of course, there is another way for Yu Yan to take out the family property left by the old man to auction or deduct it, but first, this is what the old man left to Yu Yan, which is a thought; Second, this is not a small amount of money, neither Yu Yan nor Li Pujia will be willing to take it out easily, you must know that it is very likely that several of them will not be able to earn this wealth in their lifetime, unless Yu Yan marries a businessman.
But the Yu family has high expectations for her, otherwise she would not have been allowed to join the army, just to use her father's connections to pave a good path for her, and then marry a child of a family, so as to keep her and the next generation's wealth and glory.
That's why Li Pujia will do everything possible to find Li Xiang to talk about reconciliation, because this incident has affected Yu Yan's reputation and also ruined her idea of joining the army.
Therefore, she called Li Fang again and again, and Li Fang naturally understood the stakes, but the problem was that he had no position to persuade Li Xiang to give up anything for him, and Li Xiang would not listen to him.
After thinking about it repeatedly, he decided to come to Li Xiang's hometown to pay homage to Ma Chunyu to see if this move could ease their father-son relationship comparable to strangers first.
Li Ruizhong understood his father's intentions, so he called Li Xiang, on the one hand, he really hated Li Pujia and Yu Yan's mother and daughter, and on the other hand, he also tested Li Xiang's attitude.
Ke Li wanted not to be interested in Li Ruizhong's proposal, his purpose in the lawsuit was not for money, he wanted to force Yu Yan to admit his mistake and restore his reputation, money was incidental, and the most important point was that he didn't want to get involved in the internal contradictions of the Li family.
The old man left, and also took away his only little attachment to the Li family, no one else is in Li Xiang's heart, as long as this lawsuit is over, he will completely withdraw from the Li family.
"By the way, guess where I'm calling you right now?" Li Ruizhong suddenly changed the topic.
He sensed Li Xiang's coldness.
"Can't guess." Li Xiang is also not interested in this topic.
"Forget it, I won't go around in circles with you, I'm sitting on the riverbank in your village, and my dad has been playing the harmonica all morning in front of your mother's grave."
"What do you mean?" This answer was a bit unexpected.
To be honest, no matter what purpose Li Fang had to visit his mother, it was not a good thing for him, on the one hand, he really didn't want to enter Li's house; On the other hand, he was worried that this matter would be spread out and his life experience would be exposed again, he was troublesome, and he was afraid that it would affect the peaceful life of the Jinzhu sisters and brothers.
"I don't know, I guess I miss your mother, or if you call him, I think he should be happy to get your call." Li Ruizhong hung up the phone first after speaking.
In fact, my father took a big risk to come to see Li Xiang's mother at this time, and it was not all well-intentioned, not necessarily without sincerity, because looking at his lonely back sitting in front of Ma Chunyu's grave, listening to the affectionate harmonica sound in his ears, Li Ruizhong felt that his father's heart must be in a state of flux.
Therefore, at this time, he could only push forward, hoping to take the opportunity to ease some of the contradictions between their father and son, as for whether he could help Yu Yan Li Ruizhong didn't care very much.
Because his father talked to him, if it really didn't work, Li Xiang insisted on fighting this lawsuit to the end, so he asked Li Ruizhong to pay a part of the fine for Yu Yan, which could be regarded as fulfilling his mind as an uncle.
However, in order to teach Yu Yan a lesson, Li Yifang and Li Ruizhong did not tell Li Pujia's mother and daughter about this decision, they wanted to wait until the real verdict.
Li Xiang naturally wouldn't really call Li Fang to verify anything, this could only be regarded as a small episode for him, and it couldn't affect any of his decisions.
On the day of the trial, Li Xiang updated his Weibo, saying that he was going to fight a more difficult war.
It was indeed a difficult war. Originally, at the request of fans, Li Xiang wanted to make the court trial public, but he didn't expect that at the last moment, Yu Jia's application was rejected on the grounds that the case involved the personal privacy of the two families, which shows that the judge is still more inclined to the family, so this lawsuit will never be too easy.
Another point, in his heart, he is extremely reluctant to confront the people of the Li family, no matter what, the old man's bones are not cold, he is afraid of disturbing the soul of the old man.
But he is a person with clear grievances, one yard to one yard, things have come to this day, he is not only seeking justice for himself, but also seeking justice for the old man, although this justice may not be what the old man wants to see, but Li Xiang has a scale in his heart, he only does what he thinks is right.
During the court defense, Li Xiang did not use a lawyer, and personally stated the harm and losses caused to himself and his family by Yu Yan's illegal remarks, as well as the subsequent incidents arising therefrom.
First of all, his life was seriously disturbed, and every day he would encounter the blockage of Yu Ji, Jin Zhu could not recuperate with peace of mind, and he could not take care of his seriously ill wife and son who were waiting to be fed with peace of mind.
Secondly, his reputation was seriously damaged, and he was no longer suitable to be a public figure, so he quit the entertainment industry, causing immeasurable losses to his economy.
Third, the younger siblings in the family have been besieged by reporters and cannot study and live normally.
Fourth, because this incident uncovered the old news of Jin Zhu's sister and brother jumping into the river ten years ago, it not only damaged Jin Zhu's reputation, but also made Jin Yang's sister and brother face everyone's strange eyes again, which brought harm to their hearts again, especially Jin Liu, as a public figure, her words and deeds have a greater or lesser impact on fans, so the adverse impact caused by this incident will also bring her a lot of economic losses.
The first trial was inconclusive, and the judges conducted a mediation in accordance with the legal procedures, but Li wanted to insist on his own conditions, and the mediation was invalid.
Coming out of the court, Li Pujia kept Li Xiang, she still wanted to talk to Li Xiang about the terms of reconciliation, but Li Xiang had no room for negotiation.
"Have you thought about it, before the next court official verdict, the judge will definitely ask Xiao Yan why she exposed your life experience, how do you want her to answer?" Li Pujia played the last hole card in his hand.
It's a pity that this doesn't pose a threat to Li Xiang at all, "That's her business." ”
Looking at the back of Li Xiang leaving indifferently, Yu Yan was angry.
Just now, her defense lawyer pointed her the way, that is, to publicly and thoroughly disclose Li Xiang's identity as an illegitimate child, proving that she did not maliciously slander Li Xiang, but because of some personal grudges.
Originally, she was still hesitant, because as soon as this matter was announced, the rumor that Li Xiang was Li Fangfang's son was confirmed would definitely have an impact on Li Fangfang's career.
But this met Li Xiang's indifference, and then thought of the two slaps she received with her mother, and Li Fangfang's refusal to intercede for her again, Yu Yan was moved by the lawyer's proposal.
Why don't they think about her, but she thinks about them?
But the heart is moving, this time she has no impulse, anyway, there is still a month before the second trial, she can plan well.
After discussing it with Li Pujia, she tentatively posted a lot of photos of her and the old man in her diary, accompanied by a lot of sensational words to remember the old man.
Although the old man rarely appeared in public, he had just sailed west, and with his status in the art world, he was sure to publish an obituary, and at the same time, the newspaper also introduced his life, not only his works in various periods, but also photos of him in various periods.
So some attentive netizens picked up the identity of the old man, a painter, a famous painter in China, and then thinking of Li Xiang's biological father who was also a talented painter, it is difficult not to let people fall on the Li family.
Especially at this sensitive time, Yu Yan posted these photos to definitely mean something, so netizens began to pick up the old man's family relationship again.
The Li family has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son is a general of the army, but he died because of an accident; The youngest son, Li Yifang, was a well-known painter who returned from studying abroad when he was young, and once taught at the Academy of Fine Arts, but later changed to politics because of family changes; The youngest daughter is Yu Yan's mother.
The entertainment reporters sensitively found something from Li Fangfang's body, and compared the photos of him when he was young with Li Xiang's photos, and the entertainment reporters found that Li Xiang had the most obvious sign of the Li family, a pair of thick silkworm eyebrows.
As a result, the consequence of Yu Yan's stone-throwing and asking for directions is that all kinds of legends chasing after the wind and shadows are once again in the dust.
The news reached the ears of Li Yifang and Li Ruizhong, who were on vacation, and the two hurried back to the imperial capital, in order to divert the attention of the media and these fans, Li Ruizhong had to expose his marriage.
His wedding was planned to go ahead as usual, because it was the old man's last wish, saying that he was not young and should have married and had children.
It's just that the family has just experienced a funeral, and Li Ruizhong's original intention was to make the wedding more low-key, but he never expected Yu Yan to come to this trick, which made him disdainful.
Fortunately, due to Li Ruizhong's illustrious background and rich net worth and his status in the entertainment industry, as soon as his marriage news was exposed, at least half of the stars in the entertainment industry sent him blessings, which naturally attracted the attention of the entertainment reporters, and Li Xiang was a little quieter.
But Li Fang couldn't calm down.
Because the leaders above talked to him, whether it was Li Xiang's illegitimate child rumors or Li Ruizhong's high-profile marriage, it had a lot of negative impact on him, and if it was not handled properly, it would definitely affect his promotion.
After returning home, Li Yifang locked himself in the old man's study again for a night, and the next day he went to work as usual, but the next night, he gathered his family and Li Pujia's family of three in the old man's study.
"I called all of you here today because I made two decisions, I plan to resign from my current position on the grounds of poor health, I am not discussing with all of you, but to inform you, this is the first thing, the second thing, I will no longer participate in anything with Xiao Zhong, originally I planned to let Xiao Zhong pay this compensation for you, but now I have changed my mind, this is your family's business, Xiao Zhong has no need to bear this debt for me." Li Fang glanced at everyone in a circle and said slowly.
Li Fangfang's words stirred up a thousand waves, not only smashing Li Pujia's family of three, but also smashing Yuan Yuan and Li Ruizhong.
"Didn't you promise me to hold on until Xiaozhao graduates?" Yuan Yuan's first reaction was to be angry.
"Second brother, why don't you discuss such a big matter with us first?" Li Pujia's tone was complaining.
If she had known that Li Fang would ask Li Ruizhong to pay this compensation for her, she would never allow Yu Yan to do these things later.
"Second brother, you have thought about it, there is no chance to regret this decision after it is made, and your efforts for more than 20 years will be in vain." Yu Yan's father said.
Naturally, he didn't want to lose such a boost.
"Dad, I support you, no matter what you decide, I support you. The important thing is to be happy. Li Ruizhong was surprised, but after thinking about it, this result seemed to be within his expectations.
"And what about my lawsuit?" Yu Yan asked weakly.
"It's your own business." Li Fang glanced at her, "Okay, I'm tired too, you all go back." ”
"Second brother... Li Pujia wanted to say something more, but Li Fang stepped out of the door of the study first.
He was really tired.
His sister's selfishness and his father's death and his guilt all weighed on his heart these days, and he felt a little breathless.
After making this decision, he felt much more relaxed, and in the future he planned to pick up the brush again and find his former self, maybe there would be other unexpected surprises in his life. (To be continued.) )
