The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 844 - 859: I’m the One You Adopted?

Leaving the elevator, Qi Shangyu fished out his keys from his pants pocket, trying several times before inserting the key into the keyhole.

Upon opening the door and entering, he saw Li Jiaxue sitting on the sofa in the living room. He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Mom, why are you here?"

Hearing the sound, Li Jiaxue turned around and, seeing Qi Shangyu reeking of alcohol, couldn’t help but furrow her brow, "Why did you just come back now, had social engagements?" "No, just a bad mood."

Qi Shangyu unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt, "Mom, is there anything you came for now?"

"Your dad has already brought that woman and her daughter to the villa. I really didn’t expect Zhong Li to be his daughter."

When Li Jiaxue said this, her eyes seemed full of poisoned venom.

"I’ve already found out. Dad came to the company to see me today and asked me to quickly take a position at the branch overseas."

Upon hearing Qi Shangyu’s words, Li Jiaxue felt as if a fire had raced lên from her soles to the top of her head: "Do not go; why should you, who’ve managed the company for so many years, give it away to them? This Qi Weidong just has no conscience, even though you’re adopted and have no blood relation with him, but does this decades-long affection not outweigh theirs?"

Qi Shangyu’s hand on his leg involuntarily clenched. He was adopted by Qi Weidong and Li Jiaxue, having no blood relation at all?

So many things had happened in just one day, Qi Shangyu could hardly accept them.

"I was adopted by you?"

After the words fell, Qi Shangyu let out a cold laugh, a laugh more self-mocking than anything else. His life was truly a damn joke, utterly absurd.

Li Jiaxue nodded painfully, "Mom was forced to tell you this. If Qi Weidong hadn’t pushed things to the limit, bullied us mother and son, I would never have revealed the truth to you."

"All these years I treated you like my own son, afraid that what I gave you wasn’t enough or good enough."

Li Jiaxue said these words deliberately for Qi Shangyu to hear.

"I know, Mom. You go home first; I want to be alone for a while."

Qi Shangyu really needed to calm down. His heart ached to the point where he could barely breathe: first discovering the woman he loved had become his sister, now being told the parents he thought he had weren’t related by blood at all.

Li Jiaxue rose from the sofa and walked over to Qi Shangyu, patting his shoulder, "Mom will always be by your side. Also, don’t agree to what your dad said today; Mom will help you find a way."

"I know, you go back first."

"Alright, have a good rest. Tomorrow I’ll bring breakfast to you."

Watching Li Jiaxue leave, Qi Shangyu lay down wearily on the sofa and closed his eyes.

Over an hour later, Qi Shangyu suddenly sat up from the sofa, his eyes bloodshot. He decided to do whatever it takes to bring Zhong Li to his side, and he won’t let go of the company either.

......

A little after eight in the morning, Li Jiaxue carried breakfast into Qi Shangyu’s villa.

She walked in high heels to the dining room, placed the paper bag in her hand on the table, looked at Qi Shangyu lying on the living room sofa, and said, "Son, come have breakfast, Mom bought your favorite wontons."

Qi Shangyu hadn’t slept all night, his eyes bloodshot, wearily raising his hand to massage his temples before getting up from the sofa.

"I’ll go change clothes first." After speaking, Qi Shangyu returned to his room.
