Chapter 156: Chapter 156: The Illness Cannot Be Hidden

Li Tingmo gasped for breath, his breathing rapid: "Say that again!"

"Are you surprised?" Li Sihe looked at Li Tingmo indifferently, his voice calm: "Given Zhuang Jie Ning’s personality, are you really unprepared for her to do such a thing?"

"Why didn’t you tell me earlier!" Li Tingmo’s expression was frantic as he paced back and forth on the spot, seemingly contemplating a strategy.

Li Sihe looked indifferently at Li Tingmo’s anxious appearance and found it amusing.

Finally, Li Tingmo calmed down, he looked at Li Sihe seriously and said in a deep voice: "Contact Bian Yue immediately, find a way to smooth this over."

"It’s too late."

"What?"

"I’ve already admitted it," Li Sihe’s voice was even calmer.

Li Tingmo felt like he had been struck by lightning.

His eyes bulging with rage, he walked up to Li Sihe and grabbed his collar, "You admitted? What did you admit? Li Sihe, are you trying to infuriate me to death?"

"Bian Yue wanted to find out the truth of the matter, it was just a matter of time. Zhuang Jie Ning told her about this old incident, which has already made her suspicious. The truth can’t be covered up forever." Li Sihe’s expression was calm, and he asked very calmly, "Dad, haven’t you ever thought that this day would come?"

"Li Sihe!"

Li Tingmo was so angry his face turned red.

The atmosphere was tense, the emotions of the father and son were building up, almost to the point of a big argument.

Bai Xu, steeling himself, pushed the door open.

"Chairman, the meeting is about to start." Bai Xu looked at Li Sihe, tentatively asking: "Would you... like to come to the meeting room first?"

Li Sihe got up expressionlessly, completely ignoring Li Tingmo’s livid face, and walked out.

It wasn’t until the office door closed again that Li Tingmo raised his hand and smashed the vase on the desk to the ground.

The crisp, piercing sound, and the shards scattered all over.

Meanwhile, in the meeting room, Li Sihe’s expression was as usual, listening to everyone’s reports, his emotions steady as if nothing could perturb him.

Although Li Cun didn’t like Li Sihe much, he was aware of the principle that with a new king comes new nobles, and he was not as arrogant as he had been on the day of the election.

Everyone’s posture was submissive.

But Li Sihe felt listless, to be precise, it was hard for anything to stir his emotions unless it concerned Bian Yue, he could remain unaffected.

This position was indeed as he had imagined, with power at his fingertips, the authority to give life and take it away.

Yet somehow, it wasn’t as gratifying as he had anticipated.

Sitting here, watching these people’s cautious demeanor, all he felt was annoyance.

Li Sihe’s expression grew colder, and the senior executive, who was reporting, seeing his expression, spoke increasingly less smoothly, and by the end, he was practically stuttering.

"This... this project is now... now..." the senior executive wiped the sweat from his forehead, "now past the initial preparation stage, our team... chairman..."

The middle-aged man looked at Li Sihe in shock, his expression fearful.

Only then did Li Sihe realize, everyone was looking at him in shock.

Li Sihe belatedly realized something warm and wet was spilling from the corner of his mouth, a sweet, metallic smell surging up.

Bai Xu’s face changed dramatically, he handed a handkerchief to Li Sihe, anxiously saying, "Chairman, are you alright?"

Li Sihe wiped the blood from his lips with a pale expression and indifferently said, "Today’s meeting is hereby adjourned."

With that, he ignored everyone’s reactions and stood up to leave.

Li Cun, who had been silent during the meeting, only scoffed after Li Sihe had left, saying, "How could a perfectly healthy person vomit blood? There must be something wrong with his health."

"Chairman Li, you shouldn’t speak carelessly about such things."

"Yes, the chairman is so young, how could there be anything wrong with his health?"

The sweating executive who had just reported slowly sat down, casting a probing look at Li Cun, and asked, "Chairman Li, you speak so definitely, do you have some insider information?"

"I can’t say there is any information, but I’ve heard some rumors," Li Cun revealed a meaningful smile and said, "You all should know, a person’s health doesn’t collapse in one day. If he’s reached the point of vomiting blood, that is truly concerning."

Speaking thus, Li Cun rose smiling and slowly said, "But our chairman has the fortune of heaven, he certainly won’t have any problems."

Everyone exchanged glances, their eyes filled with uneasy speculations.

The rumors about Li Sihe’s poor health hadn’t started yesterday; this period marked a significant change in his temperament. From being previously gentle and pleasant, he had become terribly cold, it’s hard not to suspect a major shift had occurred.

Hence, Li Cun’s ambiguous words seemed more credible...

Zhuang Jie Ning, having heard the news, returned to the Li family.

Li Sihe was still unconscious in bed, his complexion appalling, pale without a trace of color. Su Youxue sat by his bed sobbing softly, her eyes turning red when she saw Zhuang Jie Ning arrive.

"Stay seated, don’t move, I didn’t come for Li Sihe." Zhuang Jie Ning smiled tenderly, her voice soft, "I came back for my father’s sake; you two can do whatever you like, I’m going upstairs now."

Su Youxue, silent, watched Zhuang Jie Ning, her eyes clearly signaling her to leave.

Zhuang Jie Ning chuckled softly. With a sarcastic smile on her gentle face, she scrutinized Su Youxue, about to say something when the butler approached.

The butler spoke respectfully, "Miss Zhuang, your room has been cleaned."

"Is it the one next to Bian Yue?"

"Yes."

Zhuang Jie Ning, satisfied, softly said, "Could you please give me the keys to Bian Yue’s room, butler?"

The butler hesitated, his expression troubled as he glanced at the still unconscious Li Sihe, "The young master ordered that no one besides him could enter Miss Bian’s room."

"Not even me? I’m the future young mistress of the Li family and the female head of the Fengcheng Group. In this home, is there a room I can’t enter?" Zhuang Jie Ning scoffed coldly, "If you don’t give me the keys, I’ll have the locks removed. I want to see if the Li family does not regard the Zhuang family as a partner."

She was acting capriciously, doing as she pleased, caring for nothing but her happiness.

Now she asserted she must enter Bian Yue’s room, and entry was not negotiable.

The butler, showing difficulty, could only step back and say, "All the keys to the rooms in the villa are in the storage room..."

Without waiting for the butler to finish, Zhuang Jie Ning smiled and quickly left, her high heels clicking sharply and crisply on the floor.

Su Youxue, initially indifferent, watched the still unconscious Li Sihe, pondered for a moment, and then chased after her.

At the door of Bian Yue’s room, Zhuang Jie Ning had already unlocked the door and stepped inside.

Everything inside was as neat as new, showing it was often cleaned. Even the signs of the fire caused by Shi An’an had disappeared.
