After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Liang Yusen continued, "Jiawei's bidding base price and proposal were determined long before you submitted your bid. She did not make any adjustments after seeing your bid. What you call 'unfairness' is actually just your own way of avoiding failure."

Li Xuanbao gently placed her cell phone on the coffee table, sat there silently, and turned her eyes to Li Jiawei who had not spoken a word.

At this moment, she finally realized that she had really lost to Li Jiawei. It was not just the failure in the bidding, but also the gap in mentality and pattern. Such a result was even more unacceptable to her.

Liang Yusen looked at Li Jiawei and asked gently, "Jiawei, do you have anything to say?"

Li Jiawei pondered for a moment, looked calmly at Li Xuanbao, and slowly said, "Regarding the bidding, you didn't know the person well, so it has nothing to do with me. I didn't take the initiative to obtain your bid, nor did I adjust my plan because of it. Uncle Liang has explained this very clearly."

She paused, her tone still calm, but with a hint of firmness: "As for what you said, because of your relationship with Lawyer He, I transferred the legal business of the assets under my name to other law firms, this is..."

Before Li Jiawei finished speaking, Liang Yusen interrupted her and said in a steady tone: "This decision is my idea and has nothing to do with Jiawei."

He turned to look at Li Xuanbao, his eyes full of meaning: "Given the special relationship between you and Jiawei, as the custodian of Jiawei's assets, I don't want you to have too much overlap in your property. I do this for her good, as well as for your and the prefect's good. After all, human nature cannot stand the test."

After hearing Liang Yusen's words, Li Xuanbao was speechless. All the things she had blamed Li Jiawei were overturned, and she became a slanderer.

Li Xuanbao didn't dare to look up and meet Liang Yusen's eyes, and didn't know how to react for a moment.

After the conversation, her eyes swept over Li Jiawei. She was already in such a miserable state, but Li Jiawei had been staying out of it and had not taken any action at all, yet she had already been defeated miserably. Why?

After a long time, she slowly raised her head and looked at Liang Yusen, with a tremor in her voice: "Uncle Liang, why?"

Liang Yusen heard the confusion and unwillingness in her words, and sighed, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "Xuanbao, I watched you grow up. If there is any difference in the attitude towards you and Jiawei, it is not because you are not of the Li family. In fact, I was more inclined to you at the beginning."

His words made Li Xuanbao even more confused, and her eyes were full of puzzlement: "Then why... did everything change later?"

Liang Yusen's tone was calm but to the point: "Sometimes, character determines cause and effect. Your shortcomings are that you are too selfish and too smart.

Jiawei’s shortcomings are that she is too kind and too tolerant. This is my answer to you.”

His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Xuanbao's heart hard.

Li Jiawei looked at Li Xuanbao's distraught look, and instead of feeling happy about being "cleared", she felt an indescribable sadness. She suddenly felt that all this was really boring.

She stood up, her tone calm but with a hint of determination: "Now that everything has been made clear, let's stop here today."

She turned her gaze to Li Xuanbao, with no anger or resentment in her eyes, only a deep exhaustion: "We can't be friends in the future, let alone partners.

I still have shares in your company. If you want to buy them back, send someone to talk to me.

But I will only give you one week to raise funds. After one week, if you are unable to buy out my shares, I will sell them to someone else."

When Li Xuanbao heard this, she raised her head suddenly, with a flash of panic in her eyes. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.

Liang Yusen looked at Li Jiawei and Li Xuanbao with a complicated expression, but he didn't say anything more. He knew that once some cracks were created, it would be difficult to repair them. And Li Jiawei's decision had obviously put an end to her relationship with Li Xuanbao.

This is exactly what Liang Yusen admires about Li Jiawei. Although she is prone to being soft-hearted and hesitant when facing certain things on a daily basis, she never hesitates at critical moments.

Liang Yusen sighed softly, with both praise for Li Jiawei and pity for Li Xuanbao in his heart. He knew that after this incident, the relationship between Li Jiawei and Li Xuanbao would not develop as his second brother and second sister-in-law imagined.

Li Jiawei turned and looked at Li Yan, her eyes showing sadness, but distant, and said politely: "Brother, I'm sorry to bother you today."

Li Yan felt a pang of bitterness in his heart when he saw Li Jiawei's attitude.

He knew that after what happened tonight, the feelings they had developed over the past few years might have been exhausted. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded and whispered, "It's okay, just explain the misunderstanding."

Li Jiawei didn't say anything more, and turned her gaze to Liang Yusen, with a hint of softness in her tone: "Uncle Liang, I'm sorry to bother you today."

Liang Yusen also stood up and walked to her side, patting her head gently: "Don't say the word 'trouble'. Come on, I'll take you back." Then he said to Li Yan and the others: "You don't have to see me off."

Li Jiawei nodded and did not refuse. The two walked to the door one after the other, leaving Li Yan, Li Xuanbao and He Zhizhou sitting in the living room. The atmosphere was heavy and depressing.

Li Xuanbao lowered her head, her hands clenched tightly together, her knuckles slightly white.

She was now filled with complex emotions, including unwillingness and a deep sense of powerlessness. Li Yan looked at Li Jiawei's departing back, feeling mixed emotions, but unable to say a word.

Walking out of the Li family’s gate, the night breeze was cool. Li Jiawei took a deep breath, as if she wanted to let out all the depression in her heart.

Liang Yusen walked beside her, his tone gentle and concerned: "Jiawei, don't take what happened tonight too seriously. Some relationships can't be forced."

Li Jiawei nodded and said softly: "Uncle Liang, I understand. I just feel... a little tired."

Liang Yusen patted her shoulder, his tone was loving: “If you are tired, take a good rest. For some things, time will help you solve them.”

Li Jiawei didn't say anything else, but nodded silently. She looked through the car window, slowly towards the brightly lit house, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. In that smile, there was a hint of bitterness, but also a hint of relief.

If there was anyone whose actions tonight hurt her the most, it was undoubtedly her eldest brother Li Yan.
