Chapter: 1523

He held back his anger and asked her, "Aunt Li, I want to know, why did you go to such great lengths to hide my information? What's your purpose?"

Aunt Li cried and said, "Young Master! Your parents' death was not an accident, but a deliberate attempt to harm your entire family!"

"What?!" Leaf Shen blurted out, "My parents were killed by someone?"

Aunt Li's eyes turned red as she said, "Do you remember the details from back then? Your parents went into hiding in Jinling, rented an old house, and then changed your name so that you could attend Jinling Primary School......"

Leaf Shen nodded, "I remember, my parents passed away during my school days due to a car accident, so your implication is that my parents were killed by someone back then?"

"Yes!" Aunt Li nodded strongly, "The people who killed your parents fabricated the scene of the accident and immediately prepared to search for you in Jinling Primary School, intending to kill you as well. It was Tang Guanxi who arrived just in time with his men at the school gate, caught all those people, and originally intended to leave one person alive. However, they all took their own lives by poisoning themselves. Later, he followed up and found that all of them were from foreign countries, but the trail ended there."

Leaf Shen asked further, "So did Tang Guanxi know who killed my parents?"

"Aunt Li said: 'It's because they couldn't find anything, so the people behind the scenes might be afraid that someone would harm you. So, Tang Guanzhi decided to hide your identity and keep it a secret from everyone outside, fearing that the other side wouldn't let you go!'"

"'Is Tang Guanzhi doing these things at the behest of the Leaf family?'"

"No......" Aunt Li shook her head: "Tang Guanzhi has always suspected that someone in the Leaf family was behind this, so he kept it a secret from everyone in the Leaf family."

Leaf Shen asked: "Why did you suddenly come looking for me again?"

Aunt Li replied: "The old master has been searching for you for many years and couldn't find anything. He thought you were lost or had disappeared. Last year, he was preparing to formally establish a will, making arrangements for the inheritance of the Leaf family's assets. Tang Guanzhi didn't want you to be excluded from the competition, so he told the old master about your whereabouts. The old master hopes you can return to Yanjing and compete with other heirs for the inheritance, but also knows that you may not agree, so he offered you a gift of Emperor Hao's group and 1 billion yuan......"

Leaf Shen couldn't help but ask: "Aunt Li, when you were diagnosed with kidney disease, was it true or false?"

As soon as Aunt Li heard this, she trembled all over again, bowed her head repeatedly, and said with remorse in her mouth: "Return to the old master, my illness is false...... because I've been watching you grow up, and I understand your personality. If I didn't pressure you, you wouldn't accept the Leaf family's money. So, Tang Guanzhi and I made a deal to pretend to be dying, trying to force you to take in the Leaf family's money, which is deceiving the old master and deserves punishment."

Aunt Li said that was actually correct.

He had experienced tremendous changes from a young age, having gone through both the best and most difficult days in life. He had already grown disillusioned with everything.

Even if he hadn't married Xiao Chunren back then or was still working hard on the construction site today, he wouldn't be dissatisfied.

Because to him, after his parents passed away, he was just trying to live well as a way of comforting them.

As for money and status, he had long since stopped worrying about those things.

The years he spent suffering under Xiao's family were unbearable, but he never thought about seeking help from the Leaf family.

Even if his dignity was being trampled on by Xiao's family members, who kept rubbing him into the dirt, he could still accept it calmly.

Those three years of humiliation had passed, but despite being at the center of this whirlpool, he remained calm and composed.

However, his calm demeanor was completely changed due to Aunt Li's "serious illness."

At that time, he was too afraid of Aunt Li leaving him.

Because in his eyes, Aunt Li was his lifesaver, his adoptive parents, who had already passed away. He couldn't bear the thought of watching her succumb to illness. JrNovels.com
