Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Mr. Li declared firmly, "Xiao Song is our Li family's daughter-in-law, and we believe she wouldn't do such a thing!"

Li Ying crossed her arms, her tone becoming increasingly arrogant, "If Xiao Ci didn't know, how could I possibly have come to your door today?"

"Only by following him can Xiao Ci truly live the life of a wealthy young mistress, and Niannian can also inherit the true aristocratic bloodline!"

"Brother Li, stop deceiving yourself!"

Mr. Li, who had been holding back his emotions, suddenly coughed violently. He then clutched his chest, his face turning deathly pale.

My body swayed, and I almost fell over!

Mr. Li's grand entrance startled everyone present, including Li Ying.

She said those things on purpose to provoke the Li family.

If we could anger Mr. Li to the point of causing him serious injury or death, that would be even better.

Regardless of whether Song Cicheng acknowledges it or not, she is, after all, Song Ci's biological mother.

If anything were to happen to Li Dong's father because of her, Li Dong would never forgive himself, and a grudge would always remain between him and Song Ci.

Although this method is too extreme, it will also push her relationship with Song Ci, her mother and daughter, to a freezing point.

But there was no other way; things had come to this point, and she had no other choice but to do so.

Li Dong is indeed very resourceful. He not only won Song Ci's heart, but also gained the support of the Song family and Tang Shi.

If Li Dong were given a little more time, she didn't even know if she could win Song Ci back!

I came to the Li family today with a try-it-out attitude.

Unfortunately, the Li family's attitude was far too firm.

If she didn't use such methods, she wouldn't know how to break through this barrier!

In the past, Li Ying would have planned to wait a little longer, or use a gentler approach.

But ever since she learned about Niannian's background and the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and his daughter, Li Ying no longer wanted to wait.

What she wants most right now is to get Niannian back to Qin Zhiyuan's side as soon as possible.

As long as Qin Zhiyuan can acknowledge his status as her son-in-law, she can use him to further advance her revenge plan!

As for Song Ci?

Given enough time, there will always be a way to restore the relationship in the future.

So when she saw that Li's father was pale, a barely perceptible hint of a successful conspiracy appeared in Li Ying's eyes!

Li's mother reacted quickly, supporting him as she cried, "Zhigang! Zhigang, what's wrong?"

Everyone panicked, and no one cared about Li Ying anymore.

Even Li Zhihua rushed over, grabbed his father's other arm, and said anxiously, "Brother! Is your heart bothering you again?"

"Medicine! Sister-in-law, get the medicine quickly!"

Just as they were talking, the outer door was suddenly pushed open!

The person who walked in was none other than Li Dong!

Upon seeing the scene inside, Li Dong instantly flew into a rage.

Especially his father's current state made Li Dong's face instantly turn as dark as the bottom of a pot!

My father has been recovering very well since his surgery.

Today, my father's illness relapsed. Is there any need to ask why?

It must have been Li Ying who caused this trouble!

Li Dong knew that Li Ying was against the two of them being together, but he didn't expect Li Ying to come to his door alone, and to make his father so angry!

At this moment, Li Dong was completely overwhelmed by guilt.

He failed to manage his own emotions, dragging his father and family into it!

Without thinking twice, Li Dong quickly stepped forward and took the person from his mother's arms. "Dad..."

Song Ci followed closely behind.

The state of the room also made Song Ci, who was usually calm and composed, unusually flustered.

Seeing Li's father's condition, she immediately focused her attention on Li Ying!

When Song Ci entered the room, she happened to see Li Dong half-embracing Li's father.

Li's mother and Li Zhihua were pacing anxiously, while Li Ying stood still, her eyes filled with the satisfaction of a successful conspiracy.

Her heart sank. She strode up to Li Ying, her voice as cold as ice, "What did you just do?"

Li Ying panicked under Song Ci's gaze and subconsciously took a half step back. She then forced herself to remain calm and said, "I didn't do anything. I was just stating the facts and trying to reason with the Li family."

"It was your father-in-law who had a heart attack because he was so upset; it has nothing to do with me!"

Li Yao followed closely behind, holding the hands of both children.

After Li Ying arrived, she had a feeling something was wrong; she had a feeling this woman was there to cause trouble.

Worried that something might be wrong, I hesitated for a long time before finally calling my older brother.

Unexpectedly, even though the older brother rushed as fast as he could, he was still a step too late.

Seeing her father like this, Li Yao was terrified, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Niannian and Tongtong were also frightened and cried, "Grandpa..."

Seeing the two children rush forward, Li Ying's heart, which had been unusually hard just moments before, softened at that moment.

Niannian, in particular, cried her heart out, clinging to her father and refusing to get up, "Grandpa... what's wrong..."

Li Dong didn't care about anything else. He asked his sister to take care of the two children, while he carried his father on his back and went straight downstairs to the hospital.

Li Zhihua lent a hand and ran ahead to open the door for Li Dong.

Li's mother went back into the house to get her clothes and bankbook, and then followed closely behind.

The situation was urgent, and Li Dong didn't have time to find out what was going on, let alone settle accounts with Li Ying.

Soon, the once bustling Li family home became deserted in the blink of an eye.

Song Ci stood there, as if she had lost her soul.

When she turned to look at Li Ying again, the coldness in her eyes could no longer be concealed. "Is this what you wanted?"

Li Ying opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Song Ci's gaze silenced her.

The sound of Niannian crying, in particular, shattered her heart.

The initial sense of satisfaction from the successful conspiracy vanished completely.

Li Ying gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her Adam's apple bobbing, her voice still strained with a hint of defiance, "I... just want you to see reality... the Li family can't give you and Niannian a future..."

Song Ci pointed at Nian Nian, "The future?"

"Li Dong's father's fate is unknown, and the two children are crying in fear. Is this the future you're talking about?"

"You keep saying you're doing this for Niannian's own good, but look at her now, isn't she the way you hoped?"

“I can tell you that in Niannian’s heart, Grandpa’s importance is definitely ten thousand times greater than yours.”

"If anything were to happen to Grandpa today, not only would I not forgive you, but Nian Nian would hate you for the rest of her life!"

Niannian seemed to understand something, and her crying grew louder, "Mommy... I don't want to leave Grandma, I want Grandpa..."

Li Ying felt a pang in her heart, and she instinctively reached out to pat Niannian's head.

But before her hand could reach out, Song Ci slapped it away, saying, "Don't touch my daughter, you have no right to!"

"Niannian, let's go to the hospital to see Grandpa!"
