<h4>Chapter 71: Chapter 63: Everyone Rests for Ten Minutes</h4>


    He said it like that, but in reality, Li Xin had long been used to it in her heart.


    Her mother’s character was weak, she had been firmly controlled by her father since she was young, and kneeling to wash his feet at night was amon urrence.


    Mrs. Li’s face was full of tears, so wronged.


    Ever since the Li Family fell into decline, Li Peng would either beat or scold her, and before, when Li Peng was riding high, he casually kept mistresses outside and hardly ever came home, staying out all night.


    She could at least enjoy a bit of peace and quiet, but now living with him, she sees him every day, whether she raises or lowers her head.


    Especially now that Li Peng limps, walking unsteadily, and his mood is unpredictable.


    She had directly be Li Peng’s punching bag.


    Another round of Li Peng’s scolding echoed through.


    "What are you standing there for? Go make breakfast! Do you want to starve me and Xin’er to death?"


    Mrs. Li wiped her tears and replied, "Okay."


    Then she turned around and went to the cramped kitchen to cook.


    Li Peng called Li Xin to sit down.


    But looking at the damp, dirty, and poor house before her, it was a world apart from the luxury mansion they had before.


    Wearing a designer dress and carrying an LV bag, Li Xin felt increasingly out of ce here.


    Just as she was about to speak, the sound of a bowl shattering suddenly came from the kitchen: "Bang!"


    Li Xin turned her head to look, and Li Peng immediately started cursing: "You useless woman, you can’t even do this right, what’s the point of having you!"


    "What bad luck!"


    The crude words entered Li Xin’s ears, and she frowned, wanting to stand up for her mother.


    But deep down, she also looked down on Mrs. Li, who could do nothing but be submissive.


    At past gatherings, she became the object of everyone’s ridicule.


    She really didn’t know how she could have such a mother.


    It was really embarrassing.


    Suppressing her annoyance, Li Xin looked directly at Li Peng and got straight to the point: "Dad, there’s something I want to ask you today."


    Li Peng’s heart skipped a beat: "What is it?"


    His expression revealed an unmistakable tension.


    Could it be that Xin’er found out about that thing?


    Li Peng’s hand resting on hisp subconsciously clenched.


    Yet he heard Li Xin say, "Is it because you and Uncle did something illegal behind the scenes that Feihong was sessfully acquired by Bao Family?"


    "Who told you that?" Li Peng said, "Xin’er, your uncle and I arew-abiding businessmen."


    "Dad!" Li Xin interrupted him,


    she stared at him: "I just want to hear you tell the truth, is it or not?"


    Li Peng and Uncle, what kind of people were they.


    Li Xin knew since she was very young.


    Keeping mistresses, backing celebrities, underhanded dealings.


    This was something they did often.


    It wasn’t the first time they were caught by the media.


    But they were too smart, always shifting the me onto the women, iming they did it for money and status.


    Coincidentally, both Aunt and Mom were soft targets.


    Without background or ability,


    so in the end, nothing came of it.


    "If you don’t want to say, then I’ll go to the police station to investigate myself."


    Saying this, Li Xin stood up: "If you really did something shady, the police station will definitely have a record."


    "I don’t believe I can’t find out myself."


    With that, Li Xin picked up her bag and was about to leave.


    Li Peng panicked instantly: "Xin’er!"


    Seeing her so stubborn, Li Peng was left with no choice and had to speak the truth.


    "Yes, someone reported thepany, and only then were we investigated by the police."


    "But this person probably can’t be separated from Bao Family." Li Peng gritted his teeth: "Right after the investigation, Bao Family came to acquire Feihong, how could it be such a coincidence."


    "Bao Ye is as crafty as ever, he’s the one who ruined our Li Family like this."


    At the mention of Bao Ye, Li Xin’s eyes had a peculiar glint, recalling the young man with a powerful aura fromst night.


    She switched her focus to another matter: "What underhanded dealings did you and Uncle actually do?"


    Li Peng’s lips moved slightly, and he finally told her.


    Two words.


    After hearing his words, Li Xin’s mind buzzed, feeling as if the sky had copsed.


    She was stunned: "What did you say?"


    "Dad, how could you do this!"


    Li Xin was so angry that tears welled up: "You cut off the Li Family’s future yourselves."


    Li Peng sighed: "We also regret it now, it was all because we were blinded by greed then, it’s toote to say anything now."


    "Luckily, your uncle knows someone at the police station, that’s how this was suppressed, no bad news got out."


    "Otherwise, you probably couldn’t stay in the entertainment industry."


    No, not probably, definitely.


    Li Xin’s eyes held back tears, and she murmured: "So, what he said was true..."


    Li Peng heard clearly and asked nervously, "Xin’er, who are you talking about?"


    "Did someone mention this to you?"


    Li Xin snapped back, shaking her head: "No one did."


    She took a deep breath to suppress the tears in her eyes, then took out a card from her bag and handed it to Li Peng.
