Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lin Mi clenched her fists tightly, her voice squeezing through gritted teeth with resentment. The familys industry suffered a heavy blow. They sought help from your grandfather and granduncle, and even requested an early dividend. but were refused. So. they thought of the familys traditional practice and thought of me. They brought me back, intending to change my surname to Li. They planned to sacrifice me to protect the family from disaster. However, my mom took my place. I survived; she died.

Concluding her words, Lin Mi looked at Li Jin across from her, a smile returning to her face. So, why do you think I would want to cooperate with you? You dont want them to s.n.a.t.c.h your things, and 1 dont want them to become powerful because I want them dead! If they become powerful, itll be troublesome for me.

Listening to Lin Mi l s candid words, Li Jin began to trust her sincerity to some extent.

However, the matter of cooperation still needed careful consideration. She had to verify Lin Mi l s authenticity.

So, once Li Jin returned, she sought out Li Dan and asked, Grandpa, do you know about the Li family burning female bodies to seek ancestral protection?

Li Dan immediately looked at Li Jin, asking in shock, How do you know about this?

So, its true, isnt it? Hearing the confirmation from Li Dan himself, Li Jin couldnt help but feel a bit alarmed.

If her grandfather and granduncle hadnt left the Li family decades ago, could the situation Lin Mi faced now have happened to her?

Looking at Li Jin with affection, Li Dan said, You dont need to worry about such things. When we left the Li family, we abandoned those inhumane practices. Grandpa wouldnt have the heart to send little Jin out for sacrifice.

Li Jin felt comforted and cuddled up to Li Dan. Fortunately, her grandfather was a morally sound person.

With that a.s.surance, Li Jin believed that Lin Mi hadnt deceived her.

Grandpa, is everything normal with our companys projects? 1 1 m afraid some people might take advantage of this situation to target our projects. Li Jin asked tentatively.

After recalling for a moment, Li Dan hesitated before answering, It seems to have been affected, but you know, Grandpa doesnt deal with these things, and your parents dont understand them either. So, for such matters, you still need to ask your granduncle.

Li Jin was rather displeased. Although Li Zhes family indeed held a significant share in Li Industries, her family also had a stake. Even if it was a small one, her parents should fight for it.

However, her parents, like her grandfather, were immersed in artistic pursuits. They painted works she couldnt appreciate, which werent even valuable.

They were like attention-seeking performers, not as respectable as holding a position in the company.

After further investigation into Lin Mi f s past, Li Jin finally let go of her worries.

Yet, Li Jin was curious. How would Lin Mi, who was younger than her, be able to make her the heir and future chairperson?

What kind of power did Lin Mi possess to boldly claim that she would kill Meng Yu and frame the Li family?

Due to this distrust, Lin Mi surprised Li Jin with a declaration of loyalty. The next day, Li Jin was urgently summoned to the companys conference room. Amid the chaos, she found herself becoming the heir of Li Industries.

A temporary resolution was reached between Li Yuan and the family.

Li Jin, with a puzzled look, asked Li Dan, Grandpa, what happened?

Li Dan glanced at Li Jin. Though Li Jin felt a bit guilty under his gaze, Li Dan didnt say anything else. He simply explained, The collateral branches demanded that we must choose a successor today, or they would demand a share of the owners.h.i.+p and even move your great-grandfathers tomb out of the Li family cemetery. Your granduncle didnt want to create more trouble, so he pushed you forward.

Surprised, Li Jin looked at Li Dan and said, But how can this be? I dont know anything. What if something goes wrong? I think they just want me, someone who knows nothing, to go up there. Then, they can find my faults and continue to make things difficult for us. By then, we wont have any other choice.

Li Dan let out a soft sigh and said, For now, this is the only way. Well see how things unfold..
