BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1413 - Forced?
1413 Forced?
“Brother, what do you mean?” Li Shiyu was extremely sensitive when it came to Luo Chao. Hence, when he heard what his brother said, he could feel a sinking feeling in his stomach.
“The Li family never shares.” Li Lanfeng gave Li Shiyu a knowing smile as he glanced at Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu’s expression changed entirely. “You plan to get rid of Luo Chao?”
“If you admit your real feelings, I might show some mercy.” Li Lanfeng smiled. “Of course, if you don’t care, I won’t bother.”
“Brother, you can’t do this. Luo Chao and Han Xuya are our sisters. They’re Boss’s fiancées. If you do this, you will anger Boss.” Li Shiyu grabbed Li Lanfeng’s hands and begged him earnestly.
Li Lanfeng struggled his hands out of Li Shiyu’s tight grip and patted Li Shiyu’s head. There was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, and the smile got bigger slowly. In the end, the smile bloomed on his elegant and beautiful face. The entire room turned bright because of his smile.
The smile that could overthrow a country! The smile that could enchant the entire world!
Li Shiyu had some resistance against the smile, but even he couldn’t help but enter into a trance. However, he regained his senses very quickly. It wasn’t because he was strong-willed. Instead, it was because there was no warmth in Li Lanfeng’s eyes at all. There was only coldness. The coldness froze Li Shiyu awake.
Li Shiyu couldn’t help but shiver furiously in place. He didn’t know if he was trembling due to Li Lanfeng or was he worried about the clueless Luo Chao and Han Xuya.
“Shiyu, based on my relationship with Boss, do you think he’ll get angry?” Li Lanfeng smiled and said.
“But, but, but on the surface, Luo Chao and Han Xuya are Boss’s fiancées...” Li Shiyu could only grab onto this life-saving straw. He kept emphasising Luo Chao and Han Xuya’s identity.
“Look, you also know that it’s just on the surface...” Li Lanfeng patted Li Shiyu’s face lightly. He spoke in a mocking tone, “But, my relationship with Boss is a fact.”
Li Shiyu’s face turned pale. He opened his mouth but couldn’t refute.
“You are worried about you Little Sister Luo Chao, right?” Li Lanfeng scoffed. He slowly leaned towards Li Shiyu’s ears and whispered, “You will have time to worry about her in the future.”
Then, Li Lanfeng wanted to turn around and leave. However, he realised that Li Shiyu was holding onto his sleeve firmly. Li Shiyu’s face was filled with humiliation and fear but when he grabbed Li Lanfeng’s sleeve, he held onto them firmly and tightly.
Li Lanfeng turned around to look at Li Shiyu. “Why? Do you have anything else to say?”
“Brother!” Li Shiyu shouted in anguish. “Please let Luo Chao and Xuya go!”
“Who do you want me to show mercy to?” Li Lanfeng raised his eyebrows and gave a faint smile. “Is it Luo Chao or Xuya?”
“They’re both my younger sisters...” Li Shiyu pleaded. However, his voice sounded so weak.
“To me, they’re not. They’re my rivals. They’re my enemies.” Li Lanfeng was an extremely selfish person. The only person he cared about was Ling Lan. Maybe he had some brotherly feelings towards Li Shiyu too, and that was only because Li Shiyu treated him wholeheartedly and was loyal to him. That was why he was a little more lenient towards him. But, that was the most he could do.
Li Lanfeng was fully aware that Ling Lan was the most important person to him. He would never give him up, even if he had to sacrifice himself.
To Li Lanfeng, Ling Lan meant the world to him, and if it meant he would have to give up on his lovely younger brother, as well as his best buddy Zhao Jun who went through thick and thin with him, he would do it in a heartbeat. With him being so cold-blooded, why does he need to concede to Han Xuya and Luo Chao who were a lot more distant to him. In his eyes, they were obstacles he would get rid of eventually.
Moreover, since he had already tasted success, how could he let the two eyesores hurt him any longer? Li Lanfeng had turned crazy because of his possessiveness. He would think of all kinds of ways to clear the obstacles in his path. As for whether Luo Chao and Han Xuya would get hurt, why would he care?
“Brother!” Li Shiyu shouted in agony.
“You can let go of me.” Li Lanfeng raised his free left hand to signal Li Shiyu to release him.
“Brother, let them go. I beg you.” Li Shiyu was too aware of his elder brother’s cruel methods. In the entire Lingtian, no one dared to offend his brother. The most frightening thing was, those people that got schemed by his brother didn’t even know who calculated against them. They blindly came to find his brother like an idiot to ask him to help them, only to be fooled again.
Li Shiyu suddenly remembered that when his elder brother showed him his calculative side, he never hid from him. He seemed to be purposely reminding him what kind of person he was. Hence, the image of a powerful and scary elder brother was ingrained in the depth of Li Shiyu’s heart. That image breeded terror in his heart when he knew his brother was going after Luo Chao and Han Xuya.
“You never actually thought of me as your younger brother,” Li Shiyu said miserably. The elder brother he was willing to sacrifice his dream of being a mecha operator for, the elder brother that was his whole motivation for becoming a military doctor, the elder brother that he treated wholeheartedly, the elder brother who he visited everyday with care and concern, had never treated him sincerely before. The sacrifices he made ever since he was young had become a joke.
“You’re still so stupid now. I don’t know what to say to you, my younger brother.” Li Lanfeng smiled mysteriously. “If I didn’t realise that you have feelings towards Luo Chao, I won’t have done this.”
Li Lanfeng reached his left hand and tapped Li Shiyu’s forehead. “I’m trying my best to tolerate your stupidity because I treat you as my younger brother. If not, do you think you can live so comfortably? Look at that stupid Li Yingjie.”
“So, you are saying I should thank you? After all I have done for you?.” Li Shiyu’s expression was agitated.
“If you don’t want to view me as your brother anymore, I don’t mind. There are no family affections in the Li family anyway, especially for me. I was groomed to be the first inheritor of the Li family so familial relationships are just a joke to me.” Li Lanfeng’s expression was indifferent. However, Li Shiyu still detected the hint of self-contempt and disdain that flashed passed his eyes.
Li Shiyu’s heart trembled. He was a smart person. If not, he wouldn’t be able to become one of the best military doctors after he changed his career path. He thought of the person whom the Li family pushed out to flirt with men, the social butterfly Li Yinfei.
Mind you, Li Yinfei’s face belonged to his elder brother. How disgusting must the Li family be to make this decision of turning his elder brother’s face into one of a performer without his consent? When they allowed people to make fun of and to look down on Li Yinfei, they were looking down on his elder brother too.
Did his elder brother choose this path because he was forced by the Li family?
How stupid was he to think that the Li family would let go of his elder brother so kindly, especially when his elder brother had this beautiful face which could destroy a country?
