Chapter 636: Xiahou Shang's Decision (Part II)
"That kid can't be kept, it has to be killed." After receiving a call from Xiahou Shang, Li Wending hurried to the teahouse where the two agreed to meet, and said angrily before he sat down.
"I must stay with that kid."
"Have you ever thought about the Yu family's feelings? If you want to protect that child, it will inevitably make them angry, and you don't know that it will not benefit anyone if you anger them, and they may even force them to have to do it to that American girl. β
"I know, so I asked He Jinxi and them to stay in Los Angeles to protect her, and sent eight more people over."
"You think you'll be able to protect him this way?" Li Wending was annoyed, "Don't be naΓ―ve, you don't know what kind of family the Yu family is, when they really want to do it, no matter how many people you send, they won't be able to protect her." β
"So I came to you and asked you to help me think of a way to be accommodating with the Yu family, as long as I can keep that child, I am willing to pay as much as it takes."
"Let me help? You can figure it out. Li Wending's nose was crooked, "It's already good if I don't fall into the well, you still want me to help?" β
"That's your nephew's first child, and he also has the blood and bones of your Li family on his body, who will I ask for help if I don't ask you for help?" Xiahou Shang said shamelessly.
"You ......" Li Wending's lips trembled with anger, and he pointed at Xiahou Shang and was speechless for a long time. This person is too shameless, when he can't use him, he said that Xiahou Zhongying has nothing to do with their Li family, and when he needs his help, he remembers his in-laws and bloodline.
"This situation is too harsh. I can't help it. Li Wending took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to jump with a gun in his heart, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Our family has just successfully married the Yu family, creating a good situation for the future political pattern of the country. The relationship between the two families is also in the honeymoon period, if I come forward to protect that child now, it will definitely make the Yu family very dissatisfied with our family, even if their family is forced to let go for the sake of maintaining the alliance in the end, it will definitely cause a rift between our two families, and the family will definitely not agree, so I can't help this matter at all. Didn't dare to help. β
"I'm not going to make it too difficult for you." Xiahou Shang said softly: "I just want you to help me pass a message to the Yu family." As long as I can keep that child, no matter what conditions they offer, as long as I can do it, I will agree unconditionally. β
Li Wending was stunned for a moment. Then there was silence. After a while. Only then did he whisper: "For an illegitimate child." Isn't the price too much, is it worth it? Zhongying is not childless in the future, if you want to hold a grandson. Then let him and Yu Yuerong get married quickly, and let them have one by themselves. β
"With the strength of the Yu family, when their child is born in the future, the path he will take in the future will inevitably be taken by the Yu family. Since childhood, he has been nurtured and educated by the Yu family, and acted according to the instructions of the Yu family, do you think that the children who grew up in that environment are still members of our Xiahou family? If the Yu family is a little more ruthless, using the child to meddle in our family's industry and swallow our family little by little, can our Xiahou family continue to save zΓ i? β
"Are you thinking too much? How can it be said that Yu Yuerong is also the daughter of the Yu family, the most favored great-granddaughter of the old man of the Yu family, who dares to touch her children's property? As for such an exaggeration? β
"Exaggerated?" Xiahou Shang sneered twice and said, "In the face of huge interests, how many people can do it without being moved?" The relationship between your family and our family is many times closer than the Yu family, you look at the people in your family, don't say that it was before, are there still fewer people who are still thinking about the idea of beating our family? Besides, even if the old man of the Yu family hurts Yu Yuerong again, how many years can he live? After a hundred years, can Yu Xianguo protect her alone? β
Li Wending's face was slightly embarrassed, and he coughed lightly twice, not knowing how to answer. Indeed, in the face of the huge wealth of the Xiahou family, few people can withstand the temptation. Even after the marriage of Xiahou Zhongying and Yu Yuerong was already a sure thing, there were some greedy clansmen who bewitched the old people in the family, hoping that they could come forward to build the yì family to take over the Xiahou family's property.
The most infuriating thing is that some short-sighted old people only see the immediate interests, and they don't consider that moving the Xiahou family will anger the Yu family, which will destroy the alliance between the two groups.
Those people don't want to think about it, are they the material for the business? If those funds are really handed over to them to take care of, even if they are not greedy, they will lose them. There is not only Xiahou Shang in the group's money bag, and the resources and support of other families are not less than Xiahou Shang, but none of them can make money better than Xiahou Shang, and the one with the best grades does not even have half of his ability.
In addition, before the Li family formed an alliance with the Yu family, under their leadership, the group was suppressed by the ruling group and could not raise its head, but still occupied a leading position in the group, which was not without the credit of Xiahou Shang, it was with the huge profits he brought to the group and the Li family every year that they were able to support themselves in those difficult years.
"Even if you can keep that illegitimate child, it is impossible for you to leave your family's property to him to inherit, and in the future, the head of the Xiahou family will inevitably be, and it can only be the children of Zhongying and Yu Yuerong." Li Wending said softly.
"I know, but anyway, if we have children in our family who are not from the Yu family, at least it will serve as some warning. If the Yu family goes too far and eats too ugly, I also have a choice, and it is better to split the family property than to be swallowed by them whole. β
"There is always only interests between big families, but there is no family affection, even if there is family affection, it is only temporary, and with the passage of time, no matter how close the person is, in the face of enough huge interests, he may also become an enemy. If my son is not married to Yu Yuerong, but an ordinary girl, I don't have to worry about it at all. In Li Wending's silence, Xiahou Shang continued: "But since he wants to marry a girl from a big family, I have to prepare for the bad outcome of the possible family property struggle in the future." β
"It's not impossible to let the Yu family let that child go, but the price paid must not be low, and it may even be unacceptably high, have you really thought about it?"
"Think about it, I want that child." Xiahou Shang had already made up his mind before meeting Li Wending, and nodded very seriously. (To be continued......)
