Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain 321

Not expecting the assistant to tell everything to assistant Dong.

Li Yong saw Li Jinyuan’s expression become colder and immediately reacted, saying smilingly, “Assistant Dong asked about this on his own initiative. Rest assured, I won’t interfere with your private affairs. If you don’t want to tell, then I won’t ask again in the future. The only reason I brought it up today is to tell you that the entire Li family and Jinghua Group are at your disposal if you need anything. Your older brother is already gone, so you need to learn how to use these powers reasonably. I don’t want you to be unaware of what the Li family and Jinghua Group can do after I die.”

Li Jinyuan calmly said, “I’ll need it.”

Li Yong was startled, then happily nodded. “Okay, after you finish your fulfillments, I’ll hand you everything you should need to take over.”

Before, Li Jinyuan’s thoughts were very simple. He only needed to have enough money, more than the Zhong family, so that Huanhuan wouldn’t be hurt by her father while he was still alive. He also needed to be able to dote on her, buying anything she wanted.

But it wasn’t enough anymore.

He needed to become stronger, to be not only rich but also powerful, with standing in this world. If there is a problem with her health someday, he needs to be able to protect her at that critical moment and pull her out of death’s grasp.

Li Jinyuan stopped resisting Li Yong.

It was all part of his calculations. He didn’t bother getting close to Li Yong but instead showed a lukewarm attitude. This way, he could get what he wanted from Li Yong faster.

“I should leave now,” Li Jinyuan said.

Li Yong didn’t stop him and gave a nod. “Go, I just hope that when you return with the beauty, you’ll still remember to look after this father.”

Li Jinyuan didn’t answer, already far away.

Assistant Dong couldn’t help but say, “Why is Mr. Li still not letting us in?”

Li Yong coldly said, “If he agreed so easily, that would mean he looks down on us. By doing this, it shows that he does have the means and shrewdness to stand firm in the Jinghua Group.” Li Yong glanced at assistant Dong. “Don’t inquire about him anymore. He’s the young master, your master. You must learn to respect him. If you can’t, then I can only let him learn how to fire his subordinates.”

Assistant Dong shivered and hurriedly responded, not daring to comment the slightest on Li Jinyuan’s thoughts anymore.

Li Jinyuan wasn’t aware of this conversation.

After removing his makeup and heading out, his car still hadn’t arrived. The male assistant shriveled up, standing beside him, not daring to make a sound.

Li Jinyuan didn’t look at him. “Go to brother Wei to get your pay tomorrow.”

The male assistant shook and his lips became pale, but he didn’t say anything in the end.

Li Jinyuan lowered his head and took out his phone, quickly looking through all the information the male assistant had gathered. Then, he deleted them all.

“Mr. Li.” A voice sounded beside him.

Li Jinyuan closed his phone and looked at the visitor unhappily.

Ling Lan stood there, her shoulders hunched. The makeup on her face was a bit smudged, looking like she had been bullied by someone.

Compared to her image during《Time Travel》, her appearance today was completely different.

Li Jinyuan only took a glance before concluding that she was acting.

Li Jinyuan wasn’t lying when he told Zhong Yuhuan that the plot of a story appeared in his head. It really had appeared the day before his concert.

If a story like this really existed, and they just happened to be the characters in it, then the author probably realized that he would be confessing the next day, completely breaking from the original plot… So, the reason why the story would suddenly appear in his mind was to remind him that he was a character in a story and that he should act according to the original plot.

If it was someone else who suddenly knew of this, they would either feel like they’ve gone crazy or be unable to accept that the life they had bitterly lived through only existed under the pen of another and break down due to the realization that their destiny was controlled by others, beginning to passively accept the original story.

But it didn’t make any waves in Li Jinyuan’s heart.

The only thing that did was a character named Zhong Yuhuan.

However, she didn’t have many scenes before she died, and her death was even orchestrated by him and that supposed female lead.

This was too funny!

Even if he had to give up his life, he would never harm Zhong Yuhuan.

The Li Jinyuan who knew the complete story wasn’t just cold when he saw Ling Lan, there was even some disgust.

Probably because the original author’s skill wasn’t enough, but when he looked at the original female lead he liked in the book, he only felt amused. This supposed female lead wasn’t even worth a speck of Huanhuan. Was the author blind? To think that he would like her?

And thinking of how lightly their murder of the Zhong Yuhuan in the book was described, Li Jinyuan was even more unhappy.

He didn’t even dare to think of a day like that.
