Inside the pavilion, several people remained silent.
Li Yuan spoke first, "Shu Yun, tell me what happened."
Li Shuyun is the hope of the new generation of the collateral branch. She is both smart and sensible, and the people of the collateral branch have high hopes for her.
After all, the Li family is such a large conglomerate that Li Taihe cannot hand over all authority to Li Hetai.
Li Taihe only has one son. If Li Hetai becomes ill or even dies unexpectedly, Shu Yun will be the main person to inherit the Li family company.
"It's nothing, it's all Shuyun's fault. Shuyun accidentally lost the necklace..." Li Shuyun said weakly, her head bowed very low.
Li Shengwa snapped out of his daze after hearing his sister's words, his gaze sweeping over Li Hetai before fixing on Gu Xinglan, who was not far away.
“That was Grandma’s keepsake! Li Hetai not only hit my sister, but also stole her most treasured necklace. Li Hetai just doesn’t like my sister!”
These words sound like an explanation being given to someone.
Li Shengwa wanted to say something more, but those two people were really in the way.
Li Hetai is not some skinny boy who cries or bows his head.
What kind of well-behaved child would someone be able to knock him to the ground on the very first day?
But now, this brat has curled up into a ball, not even showing his face, just burying himself in someone's arms.
"Li Hetai!"
Li Shengwa gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly in anger.
"He Tai, tell me what happened." Li Yuan turned his gaze to Li He Tai.
The boy who was called simply huddled in Gu Xinglan's arms, motionless, his tears soaking Gu Xinglan's clothes.
Gu Xinglan's hand slid down the back of the person in her arms and stroked their head.
"Li Hetai, speak up. Tell me everything that's wronged you," he said slowly.
When Li Shengwa, who was standing opposite, heard this, his face turned green.
What does it mean to feel wronged?
What exactly is wronged Li Hetai?
"Gu, you probably don't know, but Li Hetai is a little devil. He can't stand anyone saying a bad word about him. The last person who said bad things about him is still lying in the hospital. That's not like me. At least I have a bottom line. Li Hetai has no bottom line at all!"
Li Shengwa exhaled all of his words in one breath, his eyes fixed on Gu Xinglan.
But this guy surnamed Gu just can't understand human language.
He even showed a... pained expression?
Is there something wrong with Gu Xinglan's brain or his eyes?
"Uncle Yuan, He Tai has so many injuries, I want to take him to the hospital in town to get him checked out..."
Gu Xinglan lowered her eyes, her nose was slightly red, and her voice grew softer and softer.
He didn't know what Li Hetai had gone through; his body was still trembling, and no matter how he tried to comfort him, he looked terrified.
He could only gently stroke Li Hetai's head, murmuring the words "It's okay" in a low voice.
"He Tai?"
Li Yuan thoughtfully shifted his gaze between Li Hetai and Gu Xinglan.
"Uncle Yuan, I didn't hit anyone, nor did I steal the necklace. I want to go to the hospital with him."
When the hoarse voice rang out, the surroundings fell silent.
Li Shengwa was somewhat stunned.
He seemed to have never heard Li Hetai speak such a long sentence before.
The last time I answered questions was several months ago, back in the family school.
This person's learning speed is terrifying.
While his peers in the family were still learning theoretical knowledge, this guy had already finished learning what he should have learned in five years, and was even pursuing practical training.
As a result, Li Hetai is rarely seen.
Only his sister gets to meet this person every day.
My younger sister is smart and learns quickly.
He only knew that his sister had a conflict with this person, but he didn't know the specifics.
In any case, if he doesn't understand Li Hetai, doesn't he understand his sister?
Shu Yun has a gentle personality and is easily bullied, so he naturally sides with his sister unconditionally.
Now, seeing Li Hetai's weak and frail appearance, clinging to Gu Xinglan's clothes and even burying his face in them, it's clear he's quite vulnerable.
hypocritical!
What a fucking hypocrite!
Li Shengwa mentally scoffed several times.
On the very first day, he only said a few harsh words, and this guy beat him so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.
Why pretend to be a little sheep now?
But the guy surnamed Gu just happens to fall for that.
Li Shengwa watched as Gu Xinglan, protective of her child, pulled someone into her arms and comforted her relentlessly.
...Hopeless, there's something seriously wrong with his brain.
Seeing that none of the others were speaking, Li Yuan looked at Gu Xinglan.
"I can take it to town, but the necklace must be found. If it can't be found, I'll send a servant to look for it. If it still can't be found, I'll inform Master Li and ask him to hire someone to look for it."
I never expected it to escalate to this extent.
The woman hesitated for a long time, frequently glancing at her daughter.
Li Shuyun, however, turned from tears to laughter and walked to Li Yuan's side to bow.
"Thank you, Uncle Yuan. Grandma would be very happy if she knew that you still care about her so much."
"Bullshit."
"No! Grandma just gets happy!"
Li Ya noticed that although the old man was shouting, his solemn expression had relaxed considerably.
Upon seeing this, the woman exhaled a breath of stale air.
You can't go wrong by listening to your daughter.
My daughter must have her reasons for doing this.
They sent people to search for the necklace, and finally found it in a secluded pond. Along with the necklace, there was also a piece of paper with blurred writing on it.
Upon seeing this, Li Shuyun quickly hid.
The reaction was truly significant.
Everyone helped with the search, and even Gu Xinglan searched for a long time until she couldn't straighten her back.
Hearing that the necklace had been pulled out of the pool water didn't make me feel relieved at all; instead, it made me even more nervous.
He subconsciously looked at Li Hetai.
Li Hetai's profile was smooth, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his complexion was very bad.
The next second, Li Yuan picked up the paper with the flower in it and looked at it.
"He Tai, is this your handwriting?"
The blurry handwriting was still faintly visible, and it turned out that all three characters were written repeatedly, but they were so soaked in water that they were no longer legible.
But the handwriting is neat and strong; there are very few children in the Li family who can write such beautiful characters.
Coincidentally, Li Hetai's handwriting was exceptionally beautiful.
Once you've seen it, you can remember it. Only through constant practice and countless hours of refinement can you write such beautiful characters.
Gu Xinglan recognized him too, and unconsciously moved her throat.
The three words Li Hetai wrote on the paper, could it be his name...? The more Gu Xinglan looked at them, the more familiar they seemed. For a moment, she forgot what she was about to say to Li Hetai.
"It's my paper."
Li Hetai said calmly.
“I fucking knew it was you! You stole it! You thief! Robber!” Li Shengwa immediately jumped out and pointed at Li Hetai’s nose, cursing.
His sister didn't falsely accuse anyone.
This Li Hetai just doesn't like his sister.
In any case, his sister must have a place in the future Li Group. How can someone as selfish and irritable as her be entrusted with important matters?
"Li Shengwa." Li Yuan slammed his fist on the boy's head.
"Now that the necklace has been found, let's disperse."
The old man looked at Gu Xinglan and said, "You two go to town to see a doctor. You must come back tomorrow. He Tai's studies cannot be delayed."
Gu Xinglan, regaining her senses, nodded hurriedly and patted her chest, replying, "Thank you, Uncle Yuan. I promise I'll bring Li Hetai back tomorrow."
Immediately afterward, Li Hetai also said, "Thank you, Uncle Yuan."
Gu Xinglan thanked them, and Li Hetai also thanked them.
These words drew Li Yuan's attention.
The old man stared for a while, then suddenly laughed, waved, and left.
