Beside Old Madam Li, monitors were beeping mechanically.

A doctor in a white coat was using a stethoscope and listening, before pulling up Old Madam Li’s eyelids and flashing at it with a torchlight.

He then instructed the nurse on which medicine to use, her optimal heartbeat per minute before turning and leaving the room.

“Young Master, things don’t look well for the old madam,” the doctor said with a somber look. “You know very well that she can’t take any excitement. It’s lucky she survived this time, but if there’s a next time...”

He did not have to finish for anyone to understand.

Old Madam Li could die at any moment.

Ji Weixi looked up at Li Shaoling—he looked calm, and was not really reacting.

She was quite surprised since he was quite obedient to the old bag.

Reasonably speaking, shouldn’t he be sad?

“Got it. You may go,” Li Shaoling said flatly.

The doctor nodded and left.

That was when Old Madam Li opened his eyes with much difficulty. Perhaps the lights were too glaring for her, she exclaimed feebly but coldly, “Turn the lights off!”

One of the servants was about to enter the room, but was stopped by Li Shaoling.

He entered and stood beside Old Madam Li’s bed.

Assuming that it was a servant, she yelled impatiently, “Can’t you hear me? Turn the lights off!”

“Are you still feeling ill, Grandma?” Li Shaoling suddenly spoke.

Old Madam Li paused, narrowing her eyes by reflex due to the glaring light.

Li Shaoling stared down at her. He was impassive—his expression was dispassionate, nor were there any emotions in his eyes.

“It’s you, Shaoling...” Old Madam Li’s usual kind smile returned.

Li Shaoling sat beside her bed, the curl on his lips almost negligible. “Don’t get angry too much, Grandma. It’s bad for your health.”

“In the end, you’re still the nicest to me,” Old Madam Li said, gratified. “You always knew how to care for me... My spoiling you wasn’t a waste.”

Li Shaoling put his hand over hers which was injected with IV fluids, his cool fingertips touching the needlepoint before suddenly pausing.

“The doctor said that you would be in danger if you get angry again, Grandma. You mustn’t die.”

Though those words were words of concern, it was chilling when Li Shaoling said it.

Old Madam Li’s smile froze then. “Shaoling... what are you talking about?”

“Your granddaughter-in-law has a nasty temper, Grandma. You need to excuse her.” Li Shaoling’s eyes were smiling but anyone who met his gaze would shudder. “But if you couldn’t stand it and suddenly die, I’ll give you a nice funeral.”

“You’ve got some cheek!”

Agitated, Old Madam Li tried to sit up on her bed.

Li Shaoling kept her pinned, his smile turning even colder. “Take care of your health. It’s best if you don’t get too excited.”

Old Madam Li lay down again, wheezing violently as she shot him a death glare.

“You... you white-eyed wolf!” She seethed.

“White-eyed wolf?” Li Shaoling smirked in frighteningly cruel fashion. “I like the sound of that.”

“You’re actually turning your back on me, even telling me to die! I should never have brought you back all those years ago! Do you think you could stand where you are now without me? Everything you have comes from me! Without me, Li Shaoling is just no more than a fart!”

Old Madam Li’s spoke so crudely that Ji Weixi could not help wanting to walk up and tear out her oxygen tube and let her die.

Still, she held back since that was between Old Madam Li and Li Shaoling.

Meanwhile, Li Shaoling didn’t react at all. Like an emotionless machine, he sat unmoving, but somehow exuded a coldness that kept everyone at bay a thousand miles away.

Old Madam Li, thinking that her words had hit him where he was vulnerable snorted, acting all high and mighty even though she was just lying there. “But be rest assured! As long as you listen to me—”

Li Shaoling abruptly stood up, cutting her short coldly. “I respect you and call you grandma because you took me in all those years ago. You can take CBS if you want, nor do I care about Li family—but you know as well as I do that no one in the Li family can take my position except me.”

CBS was the most important enterprise that Li Shaoling had established with his own effort alone.

In turn, he had also changed the CBS so drastically, becoming its beating heart that it could not live without.

Everyone was aware that the Li family was withering four years ago, their people discouraged and that it was Li Shaoling who turned things around.

Unseating him would be more than difficult.

Old Madam Li had adopted him as her chess piece because of his mind for business, but unexpectedly, the chess piece had grown in the darkness without control to horrific proportions she could not imagine. action

“How dare you threaten me!” Ever the control freak, Old Madam Li was infuriated as her puppet resisted. “You have wings now, I see! Let’s see what you can do when I take away your shares!”

“You threatened me a lot when I was younger, Grandma.” Li Shaoling mocked and glared coldly in return, unaffected by Old Madam Li’s threats. “Do as you like, just don’t come begging when the time comes.”

Lost for words in her irritation, Old Madam Li could only glare.

After all, she was just mouthing empty threats and would not really unseat him.

All of CBS was now under Li Shaoling’s control. If she forced him out in a moment of selfishness, the company would definitely fall back to its ill state four years ago.

She did not want that.

Be that as it may, she was left bewildered now that Li Shaoling no longer listens to her!

“Shaoling!” Desperate when she that he was about to leave, Old Madam Li softened her tone, and tried to persuade him sincerely and earnestly, “I was wrong. I’ve simply been a little agitated, but don’t blame me... everything I do is for your own good!”

“Is there once when I did not protect you since you were a child? I loved you the most, but I’m really disappointed that you would turn against me over a woman, which is why I have been a little harsh. I don’t have long to live, so I won’t nitpick... I just have one condition, allow Jiayu to stay by my side.”

Ji Weixi was left fuming as she listened to her speak by the door.

That old bag wants to die. She had irritated her to death, and still she wouldn’t give up.

Why would she obsess over her son when she’s barely breathing? What did she want with him?

She didn’t get it.

Beside her, Wilson could not help but smile as he watched Ji Weixi’s colorful reactions.

He expected Li Shaoling to find a mild, obedient woman, but it was after meeting Ji Weixi that he learned what opposites attract meant.

Meanwhile, Li Shaoling replied with a tone that allowed no refusal. “The child will not be brought into the Li family.”

Old Madam Li glared at him hatefully then. “Shaoling! Why are you behaving like that!? Don’t you know how badly this will hurt the Li family if the child didn’t come to us!?”

However, Li Shaoling was smiling instead of getting angry.

“But Grandma, didn’t you say that he’ll be cursed a bastard like myself?”

Old Madam Li was taken aback. She did not expect him to know about her conversation with Ji Weixi.

Her compassionate character completely collapsed.

Meanwhile, Li Shaoling kept his vague smile. “Why would he be a bastard if his parents are here? I know your goal, but you mustn’t forget that I could leave anytime when I get tired of the Li family. I’m remaining here merely because of the little kinship left between us.”

After a pause, Li Shaoling’s eyes turned cruel. “Know this: I am fair game, but if you lay a finger on my wife and son, remember that I have revived the Li family four years ago, and I could have it fall without hope of revival just the same!”

With those words, he turned and left, his gaze exuding cruelty and wildness, no longer showing respect.
