Chapter 182: The Only Family
Bian Yue smiled gently, leisurely watching Li Tingmo: "Do you feel guilty about scheming against my parents?"
Li Tingmo angrily looked at Bian Yue, his tone suddenly turning cold in the face of her accusation: "Bian Yue, is this how you speak to your elders?"
"Elders? Yes, you are my elder, and for many years, I have respected you, never disobeying. I thought about the kindness you showed me by raising me, the kindness of the Li Family, and I never even thought about saying ’no’ to you." Bian Yue’s smile faded, and she looked expressionlessly at Li Tingmo: "But now, I know why you adopted me, and you also know why I’m sitting here today. Let’s not talk about the term ’elder’ anymore."
Li Tingmo looked resolutely at Bian Yue, he sighed lightly as if in difficulty and spoke in a low voice: "Bian Yue... I’ve wanted to talk to you for a long time. But I know, you’ve greatly misunderstood me now, and no matter what I say, you won’t listen. You sent Feng Cheng a lawyer’s letter; I understand your intention. I don’t want to explain, I just want to ask, how can I get you to drop the lawsuit?"
Bian Yue’s expression was cold, "Can you hold a press conference and admit that back then you schemed against my parents, which led to the Bian Family’s tragedy? If you can do that, I might consider dropping the lawsuit."
Li Tingmo’s frown deepened, "This is you making things difficult. There were difficulties for everyone involved back then; I didn’t intend to cause your parents’ death. It was tough in the business world. Bian Yue, now that you are also doing business, don’t you understand my difficulties?"
"Your difficulties?" Bian Yue scoffed, her voice dripping with sarcasm: "Do your difficulties require my parents’ lives as payment? Don’t you have to pay a price?"
"Bian Yue! Your parents’ deaths were an accident. It was just an unfortunate partnership, you can’t pin the label of a murderer on me." Li Tingmo stood up and walked towards Bian Yue, his eyes deep as he gazed at her.
