Chapter 872: No Successor

Li Peng faced the elderly relatives who clung to their old ways, leaving him only with a sense of powerlessness and fatigue. All he could do was listen in silence.

“Since your lineage is no longer viable, I suggest adopting someone from a collateral branch. The vast Li Industries should be inherited by a true member of the Li family, shouldn’t it?”

“Exactly, one is homosexual, and the other is a girl. If we let outsiders inherit the Li family business, we’ll be at a loss.”

“My son is a good choice. He just graduated and already has a girlfriend. Once the heir is confirmed, having a child immediately is not impossible.”

“Get out of here! What can your son achieve? My son is the outstanding one! The crucial point is that he’s already married and has a son. We have heirs for two generations.”

“What’s wrong with my son? At least, he has a normal sexual orientation and can have children! I guarantee that the Li family’s descendants will thrive in the future. As for your grandson, who knows whose child he really is? I heard your daughter-in-law had a promiscuous life before marriage!’

“You old fool, what nonsense are you spouting? Believe it or not, I’ll beat you!’

As Li Yuan and his group entered, they witnessed the chaotic scene inside, with people pushing and shoving.

“Stop it all!” Li Yuan shouted.

Upon seeing Li Yuan and Li Dan’s arrival, the elders who had been arguing fell silent.

“Cousin, you arrived at the right time. How do you think we should handle Li Zhe’s situation?” an old man around Li Yuan’s age asked.

Li Yuan knew there was no easy solution to this matter, so he had to control his temper and said, “Go back for now. I will give you an explanation. With so many people causing a ruckus here, what will the employees think?”

The old man chuckled and said, “What else can they think? Li Zhe has admitted to being homosexual; nothing is bigger than that.”

Another man, with a disdainful expression, added, “Your main branch is declining. Li Industries should have new leadership. We can’t afford to have no one to inherit it.’

Li Jin coldly retorted, “Uncle, I am also a member of the Li family. Why would there be no one to inherit it?”

The man sized up Li Jin with disdain and mocked, “A depreciating commodity destined to be married off. Moreover, when you get married, the family assets might end up with your husband to please the in-laws!”

Li Jin’s eyes turned red with fury. Being called a depreciating commodity was beyond insulting.

Despite being a girl, Shen Xi could inherit two major conglomerates from the Shen and Lu families, while the Li family, albeit a smaller clan, still clung to the outdated practice of favoring sons over daughters. It disgusted her.

Li Dan intervened, “What do you mean by a depreciating commodity? You better be polite! ”

The man fearlessly stated, “Polite or not, what difference does it make? When has a woman from the Li family ever inherited the family business? It’s a joke!

Our purpose in coming here today is simple: either choose an heir from our collateral branch or divide Li Industries among us!’

“You know very well that when Li Industries fell into my brother’s hands, it was a mess. The success of Li Industries today is the result of my brother’s hard work and the support of the Guan family. Now, you want a share of it because Li Yuan has no successor. How ambitious!” Li Dan said coldly.

Though Li Dan hadn’t been involved in the actual operations of Li Industries in recent years, he knew that the family hadn’t contributed anything to the success of Li Industries.

Instead, it flourished with Li Yuan’s rise to prosperity.

Seeing Li Yuan with no heir, they wanted to seize the opportunity, and it was truly despicable!

The man gave Li Dan a cold, scornful look and then sneered, “Is it that we have big ambitions, or is it that you, Li Dan, have malicious intentions? Are you thinking of getting rid of us and then relying on a granddaughter to monopolize the Li family assets? Let me tell you, Li Dan, it’s wishful thinking!

Li Dan was infuriated but had no rebuttal.

Seeing his younger brother facing criticism, Li Yuan was furious.

He would rather pass the business he had built to his brother’s granddaughter than give it to a bunch of people who consider themselves family but act otherwise..
