Chapter 680: The Origins of the Li Family and the Mu Family
Shang Yu glanced along the rim of his cup toward Shang Zonghai, pursed his thin lips, set down the teacup, and asked with a profound gaze, "You didn’t seem to mention why Jing Yilan would send Qiaoqiao to the Li Family."
Shang Zonghai gave him a glance, touched the Buddha Beads on his wrist, and after a long time, he explained, "Li Guangming’s father was the butler of the Mu Family. You might as well ask the girl if she has ever seen her grandparents since she was little."
The man with thick eyebrows slightly raised, waiting for what he would say next.
Shang Zonghai sighed pensively, "I’ve heard Yi Lan mention that Old Housekeeper Li’s eldest son died in an accident at the Mu Family, and not long afterward, he sent his other two sons, Li Guangming and Li Guangmao, back to their hometown in the South Sea, to be taken care of by his brothers."
He took a sip of tea, adding, "If it weren’t for sending away the Li brothers, the Li Family wouldn’t exist in the South Sea now..."
Shang Yu lowered his eyes to the teacup on the table, no wonder Mr. and Mrs. Li were exceptionally humble and respectful toward his father.
Jing Yilan must not have treated them poorly when he sent Qiaoqiao to be raised by the Li Family.
Otherwise, solely on Li Guangming and Duan Shuyuan’s economic status, they would not have remained in the position of the wealthiest for so many years.

At eleven in the morning, at Parma International Airport.
A slender figure clad in ordinary overalls and a plaid shirt bounced and hopped up to customs.
