3341 Make Others aspirational, Destroy Your Own Prestige



"How is going against Li Mochen detrimental to our Li family? Mingke, you are only boosting his ego and destroying our own reputation! Our Li family is so large. Why should we be afraid of Li Mochen? This time he only got lucky and found out some things. Moreover, as a descendant of the Li family, shouldn't Li Mochen be willing to contribute to the family? Not only did he not contribute, but he also teamed up with outsiders to attack the Li family, which is a great betrayal." retorted Li Mingde.

Even if he failed in front of Li Mochen, Li Mingde didn't believe that Li Mochen was more powerful than the Li family, nor did he believe that Li Mochen had so many things that were detrimental to the Li family.

"Even if we are not afraid of Li Mochen, we still fell into his hands. Li Mochen is a descendant of the Li family, but how did he leave the family? Everyone knows. Can you make someone who has been hurt by the Li family not hate us? If it were you, could you really come back and help the Li family without any resentment?" Li Mingke asked.

Although he also wanted Li Mochen's help for the Li family, he didn't mean to force him because he understood how Li Mochen felt.

What he dared not say was that if Li Zongquan and Li Mingde didn't do some dirty things, would the Li family have been caught by the Jiang family? Of course not.

Perhaps only he was clean in this Li family!

He didn't say that he was completely upright and honest. He admitted that he also had moments of greed and lack of self-control, but in the end, his fear and timidity had overcome him, so his hands were still clean.

Although he didn't agree with what Li Zongquan and Li Mingde did, he couldn't stop them either.

"You…" Li Mingde was startled. He didn't know what to say for a while because if it were him, he might be even more ruthless than Li Mochen and hit the Li family harder.

However, he couldn't say that.

People were like this. If it didn't happen to them, they could never truly empathize with others. It was easy to talk when you weren't in other people's shoes.

"Enough." Li Zongquan rebuked. Li Mingke's words made him feel embarrassed because the things that happened to Li Mochen in the Li family were all due to his indulgence. If he had stopped it, they wouldn't have dared to bully Li Mochen, so he felt that Li Mingke was questioning him.

He admitted that the Li family had treated Li Mochen poorly in the past, but they were still family. Why hold onto resentment for so long?

At that moment, Li Zongquan remembered that Li Mochen was also a member of the Li family. However, when they bullied and targeted Li Mochen back then, why didn't they think that he was also a member of the Li family?

As soon as Li Zongquan spoke, Li Mingde and Li Mingke shut up. They waited for him to come up with a solution because they couldn't think of one themselves.

Li Zongquan didn't have any positive solutions, only the use of tough measures as a threat, but this was a bit tricky.

He had already sent Li Mingke to talk to Li Mochen, but Li Mochen refused.

Li Zongquan never thought of apologizing to Li Mochen himself and asking him to return to the Li family.

He felt that Li Mochen wasn't worthy of him, the elder and head of the family, personally begging him to come back. Sending Li Mingke and the butler was enough to give him the respect. After all, the butler represented him.

However, without even this begging attitude, how could Li Mochen help him?

In fact, even if Li Zongquan went personally, Li Mochen wouldn't pay attention to him.

"You can go out!" Li Zongquan impatiently drove out Li Mingde and Li Mingke. Although he resented Li Mochen, he still needed a solution.

Li Mingde said sarcastically to Li Mingke as they left the study, "Mingke, why do I feel like you're not worried about the Li family at all? At this point, you're still speaking up for Li Mochen."

"Mingde, why must others do what you can't do? Besides, isn't Mochen leaving the Li family your family's biggest contribution? If it hadn't been for Xiyang pushing Mochen into the river and almost drowning him, would Mochen have exploded? After the accident, instead of apologizing and comforting him, you blamed him. You hurt him deeply. If it had been Xiyang who was pushed into the river and almost died, you would probably have killed Mochen!" Li Mingke sneered.

To be honest, he looked down on Li Mingde's selfishness. He clearly did something wrong, but still blamed others. It was really ridiculous.

"You…" Li Mingde was mad, but didn't know what to say. After all, Li Mingke was right.

Li Mingke returned to his room and his wife, Su Huixian, asked with concern, "What happened?"

Li Mingke told her about the situation. Su Huixian couldn't help but sigh. She whispered. "As you said, I also think this is impossible. The one who was bullied and driven out of the house is Li Mochen, not them. They are just talking without thinking. If it were them, they would probably hate the Li family more than Li Mochen does."

Actually, everyone understood this truth. It depended on whether they could empathize. If they could empathize, they would understand. If they were selfish, they would only consider themselves.

Su Huixian had moral standards. Although she didn't have fondness towards Li Mochen, she knew that he wasn't wrong in this matter.

Although she was a daughter-in-law of the Li family and hoped that the Li family would be well, using this method to force Li Mochen was obviously not feasible.

Especially when Li Mingke told her about the conversation between him and Li Mochen, Su Huixian didn't want Li Mingke to get involved in this matter, lest he would lose more than he gains.

At first, she didn't believe that a young man like Li Mochen could be so capable, but after knowing that this matter of the Li family was related to Li Mochen, she wanted to believe it. At least, Li Mochen had the ability to make the Li family uneasy.

Therefore, she didn't want to offend Li Mochen, nor did she want Li Mingke and her own child to offend Li Mochen.

Fortunately, her children didn't have much opinion about Li Mochen, unlike Li Xiaoyang who had always been at odds with him.

Even after being injured by Li Mochen, he not only didn't learn his lesson, he also hated him more.

As soon as he learned that Li Mochen was in the capital city, he couldn't help becoming restless. However, there was nothing he could do.

…

At 9 am the next day, Li Mochen went to pick up Leng Xiaoyao to take her to take the driving test.

Leng Xiaoyao was very good at driving, but she hadn't passed the driving test yet. After all, she had to be eighteen years old to take the driving test. In her previous incarnation, she had just turned eighteen when the accident happened. She didn't have a chance to take the test!

As a result, she needed to practice before the test.

As long as the money was in place or there were connections, nothing was impossible.

Nevertheless, she had to take the test in person because the driving test was monitored.
