Chapter 876: The Li Family
Li Jin’s face was filled with skepticism. "He’s just an adopted son. I find it unlikely that Guan Yi would forsake a business partner whom he has supported for decades in favor of an adopted son who is not related by blood."
Lin Mi released Li Jin’s hand, her smile innocent. "That’s because, cousin, you are too naïve. Being at the heart of the Li family’s headquarters, you surprisingly don’t even know Meng Yu’s true identity. Meng Yu is not just an adopted son; he is Guan Yi’s biological son."
Li Jin’s eyes widened instantly as she said incredulously, "What are you talking about? How could Grandpa Guan possibly..."
Lin Mi gave a suggestive smile. "Why do you think Guan Yi would adopt a son out of the blue? Moreover, even after Meng Yu declared himself gay, Guan Yi didn’t sever ties with him. Do you wonder why?"
Caught off guard by this sudden revelation, Li Jin stood there in shock for a moment before murmuring, "You’re not lying to me, are you?"
Lin Mi didn’t answer, but her expression conveyed everything.
As Li Jin reflected on the past, she began to sense that something was amiss.
No wonder Grandpa treated Meng Yu so courteously all along. No wonder Meng Yu held a prominent position in Li Industries. It all made sense now.
Despite learning this secret, Li Jin still couldn’t trust Lin Mi. "I don’t understand. Why are you helping me? We are on opposing sides. If I become the actual head of Li Industries, your side won’t gain anything."
Lin Mi nodded at Li Jin; her face now tinted with resentment. "I know, but I precisely want my people to gain nothing. They don’t deserve it!"
"Do you have a grudge against them?" Li Jin stared at Lin Mi intently.
