Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“What’s Eldest Brother’s exact situation?” Fu Xiuyuan asked as he walked forward.
“This is the detailed information.”
Fu Xiuyuan took it and flipped through it as he walked, checking the situation. His brows slowly furrowed.
Things were a little complicated.
Through the information of banks and securities companies, the Canadian side determined that the drugs that Gu Jingyuan imported and exported contained contraband and were suspected of various safety laws.
Although it was obvious that they wanted to fra him, it was probably useless to reason with them.
He looked at Shi Jin, who understood the logic. She said, “Even if it’s useless, we have to go over and take a look. At least see him personally.”
They reached Canada.
Fu Xiuyuan and Shi Jin found soone they knew who agreed to let them see Gu Jingyuan.
“It’s great to be able to see Eldest Brother. At least the matter can be resolved,” Shi Jin said softly.
“Yes. Don’t worry too much. It won’t be much of a problem.”
“Hubby, thank you for coming with .”
Fu Xiuyuan’s fingers tightened on hers.
The two of them went to a private club that had already been booked.
This was a very private eting place.
Gu Jingyuan could not et any of his family and friends for the ti being. This was an opportunity that Fu Xiuyuan and Shi Jin had fought for. They could not be too ostentatious.
When they reached the designated spot, Shi Jin was in no mood for coffee. She held the cup in her hand and stirred it with a spoon. The rich fragrance of the brown liquid did not make her feel much better.
When she heard the knock on the door, Shi Jin imdiately stood up.
Fu Xiuyuan pressed her back into the sofa and gestured that he would open the door.
He headed for the door and Shi Jin couldn’t resist following.
Fu Xiuyuan opened the door and was surprised to see who appeared outside.
“Second Master Qiao?”
Dressed in a rather well-scrubbed suit, Qiao Zhuoli stood in the doorway and flicked imaginary dust from his body. “Don’t you think it’s coincidental?”
“What are you doing here?” Shi Jin looked at him suspiciously.
Qiao Zhuoli walked in and lowered his eyes before saying slowly, “Do you want to see Gu Jingyuan?”
“Yes, I want to see my big brother.”
“It’s too bad you won’t be able to see each other.” Qiao Zhuoli smile was secretive. “Go back.”
At this mont, Qiao Zhuoli looked very unfamiliar. Even though he usually didn’t speak much and didn’t blend in with the crowd, he was even more withdrawn now.
Shi Jin’s gaze gradually turned cold. “We already agreed that my brother would et us here. Was it you who interfered?”
“Smart of you to think of it so quickly.” Qiao Zhuoli smiled and clapped. “I like dealing with smart people.”
Fu Xiuyuan stood beside Shi Jin, studying Qiao Zhuoli. “Why?”
Qiao Zhuoli laughed out loud. “Why? What do you an why? Fu Xiuyuan, we’ve known each other for so many years, and you really don’t know? Why? Or have you never taken my affairs seriously?”
Fu Xiuyuan’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “You an sothing that happened more than twenty years ago?”
“It’s good that you rember. I thought you’d forgotten all those years ago. Of course, it’s only natural that you’d forget, because you don’t know pain when the knife isn’t in you.”
His laugh was loud, but there was no pleasure in it.
He said, “Shi Jin isn’t from the Li family. This matter has nothing to do with you, so there’s no need for you to help Gu Jingyuan. Fu Xiuyuan, I’ve always treated you as a friend. If you treat as a friend too, don’t continue to interfere in this matter. Go back.”
“Gu Jingyuan is Shi Jin’s elder brother. I have to interfere in this matter.”
“Fu Xiuyuan! Don’t force to fall out with you!”
Qiao Zhuoli’s face turned sinister.
Shi Jin was stunned for a mont before she reacted. “You an what happened to the Li family more than twenty years ago?”
“Why, haven’t you completely understood? Then I might as well explain it to you again. More than twenty years ago, your Li family’s Old Master Li studied foodstuffs while his eldest son, Li Nan, studied dicine. The entire Li family grasped these two technologies and was in the lilight in the entire capital. Especially Li Nan. Not only did he study dicine and do dicine business, but he was also an outstanding doctor.
The entire imperial capital said that he was a holy hand that everyone respected and admired. Unfortunately, they did not know that although this person had skills, he was a person who was blinded by greed! Back then, there was a drug that he had just developed and used without any human testing.
His kind of dicine was sold for a sky-high price. Many people used it, and he made a lot of money. In the end, those drugs had huge side effects! Those side effects made so lives worse than death. For example, my father died with great pain after enduring torture for more than ten years.
And so people, because of those side effects, gave birth to children with delayed IQ developnt. For example, my mother gave birth to my sister.
There are many others like . However, many people had already treated it as if it was over. They were unwilling to ntion it or suffer anymore.
Unfortunately, soone like , with Qiao Lian in front of , is reminded of my pain every day and the pain of our entire family!
Who knows how I survived all these years in a family where my father was sick all year round, my sister was crazy, and my mother was constantly crying?
Li Nan, on the other hand, had burned down his pharmaceutical factory. He’d committed suicide out of fear of punishnt and put everything to rest.
However, those of us who endure pain not only have to endure those painful days in the past, but also many painful days and nights in the future.
Shi Jin, don’t you think that soone in the Li family should take responsibility for what they did? Don’t you think that soone needs to give an explanation?”
As he spoke, many of Shi Jin’s past mories gradually surfaced.
Previously, the Li family had declined from being one of the four major families in the capital and had fallen into a situation where they were inferior to ordinary nobles. Her grandfather, father, and mother had kept their mouths shut and avoided talking about the exact reason.
These people in the imperial capital also seed to avoid talking about this matter. Therefore, Shi Jin did not know about these things in her previous life.
In this life, she was only vaguely aware of it, but she had yet to completely figure it out.
After hearing Qiao Zhuoli’s words, she realized why the people in the capital had such a bad opinion of the Li family.
Only then did she understand why her father would rather enter the entertainnt industry than manage the family business. Only then did she understand why her grandfather would go so far away to do research and never stay in the capital.
There was no place for the Li family in the capital.
