Chapter 572 Straightforward Cruelty

Li Chengyan sat on the sofa, and Li Minxian sat opposite him.

It had been an hour since the two of them confronted each other, but neither of them had the posture of admitting defeat.

The old housekeeper also watched Li Minxian grow up, and he really couldn't bear to see her like this. He gently advised, "Mr. Li, miss is still young, and it is inevitable that she will be confused sometimes. Don't be as sensible as her. Let her go upstairs and rest quickly!"

Li Minxian immediately shouted, "I'm not confused. It's my brother who is confused. I'm already an adult. Why should I interfere with my personal feelings? When you were going to marry your sister-in-law, your mother was still against it, but you were with her. Why couldn't you come to me? You were against me. Sister-in-law must have looked down on what you did, so she was angry with you. Didn't you reflect on it at all?"

"No, my situation is different from yours. It doesn't matter if you find someone as poor as Qiao Ning or even an orphan. It's easy for us Li Family to support one person. But you have to be with Pei Yu, not now." Li Chengyan insisted.

Li minxian laughed back angrily, "Pei Yu can't do it. What about fang ci? Faang Ci's family is not well off, so why not?"

"Because Zhan Jian is behind him, of course not. Pei Yu is the same, and his character is not good. You won't be happy with such a person."

"Well, it's my own business whether I'm happy or not. I'm the only one who knows. Brother, to tell you the truth, I didn't mean to promise Pei Yu. After all, I haven't forgotten Faang Ci. Although I said I forgot Faang Ci, I haven't. I was still thinking about him and still loving him. No matter how many of you told me that I was just too young to be true. But I still love him, and that's not something I can control. But now that you're so against me and Pei Yu, I'm a little interested in him. At least he loves me now, and he's sincere now. Tell me everything, what else can such a person not be trusted? As for what you said later, no one can guarantee what will happen in the future. I can't guarantee that I will always love him deeply and never fall in love with anyone else. Even if it's you, can you promise that you will only love sister-in-law for the rest of your life and won't be attracted to others? Even if you can promise, can sister-in-law promise? Don't limit your freedom now by restricting what hasn't happened."

Li Chengyan: ..."

He frowned deeply and looked at Li Minxian, who was spouting lotuses and words. At this moment, he really felt that she had grown up.

She was no longer the little girl he cared for and didn't want her to know about any sins.

It was a girl who could tell so many principles and understand so many things. Some simple obstacles could no longer assimilate her heart.

"What, is there nothing to say?" Li Minxian snorted when he saw that Li Chengyan did not speak but looked at her with complicated eyes.

Li Chengyan said, "There's really nothing to say. I can't refute what you said. Although I can guarantee that I will only love your sister-in-law for the rest of my life, there are too many ups and downs in the world, and things are unpredictable. You may not believe my promise now. I really can't predict your future with Pei Yu. But I can predict that if you get too close to him now, our Li Family will be in danger."

"Our Li Family is in crisis? What do you mean?" Li Minxian asked in surprise.

Li Chengyan said, "I wanted to hide this from you, but after seeing you say so much just now, I think you have grown up. You are no longer the little girl who needs to be hidden from the truth and only needs to grow up happily. There are some things you need to know the truth, and you also need to bear some family responsibilities. Actually, I won't let you be with Pei Yu forever, but now, because now..."

Li Chengyan told her about the situation facing the Li Family and analyzed the pros and cons.

Finally, he said, "So, this is what I'm thinking now. You think I'm selfish, or you think I'm just playing around with your happiness. But being born, you always have to take some responsibility. People can't be too selfish. I can not use your happiness as a tool of exchange, but I can't delay the future of those two and the interests of the family because of your temporary relationship problems."

Li Minxian: ..."

Li Chengyan's words were so straightforward and cruel that Li Minxian was stunned.

She grew up because she was the youngest child of her generation, and even younger than her nephews. Coupled with the fact that she was a girl, no one had ever told her about family responsibilities.

Although she had never met her father, her grandfather had hugged her and told her when she was very young.

Minxian, my good granddaughter, you will be happy in the future. It won't give you any pressure or responsibility. You just need to grow up happily.

Then her grandfather died and her eldest brother became her guardian.

Although her mother wanted to nurture her, her brother stopped her.

Big brother had always told her that she only needed to grow up happily and do what she wanted to do. She didn't have to worry about anything else.

She had always grown up like this, never thinking about family responsibility.

But now...

"Brother, give me some time to think about it. I... I can't accept it for a moment. Why is this happening?" After a long time, Li Minxian muttered.

Li Chengyan said, "Okay, I'll give you time. But before that, don't meet Pei Yu again. Whether you like him a little or not, you have to hide it in your heart. Don't make any trouble until things have settled."

"What if the situation stabilizes? If the situation stabilizes, the Pei Family will still... Still be in the middle of the day. How will big brother deal with our relationship then?" Li Minxian asked with a sneer.

She felt bad, too bad.

It turned out that the feeling of growing up was so bad that it took so much pain as a cushion to slowly mature.

"By then, if you still say you like him, I'll do whatever you want. But I won't force you. I still hope you can find a suitable person who you like and like to live with without any other benefits."

"Ha." Li Minxian sneered.

It was so grand, but it was not the same about fang ci and Pei Yu...

"Sister-in-law hid out because of this! Afraid that I would be embarrassed, afraid that I... Afraid that I would hate her because I hate you? Actually, I know that she can't say anything about this. If I hate you, I will only hate my brother. It has nothing to do with sister-in-law. I'll stay at home these days, so I don't have to worry. Go and get sister-in-law back when you have time! It won't be easy to take the child out alone," Li Minxian said.

Then he turned around and went upstairs.
