Li Lan's voice was choked with sobs as she recalled those years.

I couldn't help but pause for a moment.

His expression was full of resentment.

Chen Dong frowned and did not urge him.

After a long time, Li Lan took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued: "Back then, your father and I met at a top-notch dinner party, and we fell in love at first sight."

"At that time, your father already had the qualifications to be the successor and was preparing to go out to practice and compete for the qualifications to be the head of the family."

Under the light, her eyes were deep, constantly opening the memory gate.

But his expression became increasingly fierce and resentful.

"Your father and I came to this city and quickly established a foothold and established our own business. Your father's talent and courage quickly made him stand out from the other heirs of the Chen family."

"But at that time, I was pregnant with you, and your father couldn't bear to leave us, mother and son, so he wanted to refuse the position of head of the Chen family, but he was dissatisfied and persecuted by the previous head of the family."

"Is this still forced?"

Chen Dong was a little puzzled: "My father is willing to give up his position as the head of the family. Isn't this a great joy for those failed successors?"

"The rules of the Chen family have always been survival of the fittest, and the winner is king!"

Li Lan smiled bitterly: "When you become the last king after the survival of the fittest, you have actually lost the opportunity to choose. The head of the family can only be your father, and the family rules cannot be violated."

Chen Dong frowned deeply. Maybe this is the secret of the Chen family's continued glory, right?

The so-called survival of the fittest actually has the flavor of raising voodoos. When the voodoo king is raised, it is the time for the new head of the family to succeed to the throne.

To be able to become the king among a group of outstanding successors, one's abilities in all aspects are definitely top-notch!

Li Lan continued: "At that time, the head of the Chen family and the old lady teamed up to force your father to go home and inherit the position of head of the family, and the price was the lives of our mother and son!"

Chen Dong's pupils tightened, and depression rose in his chest.

He couldn't help but secretly make fists with his hands.

Directly threatening him with his life, the Chen family is so domineering!

"As you can see, the Chen family really doesn't care about human life. In order to protect our mother and son, your father had no choice but to bear the name of abandoning the family and return to the Chen family to inherit the position of head of the family."

Li Lan's eyes were a little red, and she was filled with tears: "In fact, even if your father leaves, the legacy he and I created together will be enough for us, mother and son, to live a peaceful life, but..."

coming!

Chen Dong perked up and listened attentively.

"But... I hate it so much! I hate why I was born in the Li family? The Li family are those man-eating beasts!"

Li Lan beat her chest and stamped her feet, and the tears that had been suppressed in her eyes finally flowed out uncontrollably. Her voice trembled: "After your father left, the Li family came to visit. They coveted the foundation created by your father and forcibly used me to

For the sake of the Li family’s reputation, I will steal it directly!”

When he said this, Li Lan's face was almost ferocious and twisted.

Resentment, anger and other emotions are all written on his face.

Chen Dong's face was gloomy to the extreme, and the depression in his chest turned into a torrent of anger, churning violently.

"I wanted to reject the Li family and seek a stable future for our mother and son, but at that time the Li family was greedy and arrogant. It was your grandpa who personally threatened and bullied our orphans and widows, and used the power of the Li family to suppress others, so I had to hand over the business.

."

"Because of my fierce resistance, your grandfather has since expelled me from the Li family tree. This is how you remember the impoverished life of mother and son."

Click!

Chen Dong cracked his knuckles.

There was a cold light in his eyes, and he looked at his mother who was already in tears and almost wailed: "But you are from the Li family, and you are his biological daughter. How can he be so cruel?"

"Haha... daughter?"

Li Lan smiled sadly and wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes: "Dong'er, remember, in the Li family, boys are valued over girls. Men are the masters of the family, and women are just dispensable foils. Even if I

The direct lineage is the same, but at home not only do we not have the qualifications to compete as head of the family, we can't even find resources!"

At the end of the sentence, Li Lan was almost wailing.

The complete injustice is like a scabbed scar. With the memories, this scar is opened again.

Preferring boys over girls?

Chen Dong's eyes narrowed to a slit, and a biting chill ran through his body.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into a sneer.

What age is this?

Is there still such dregs of the old society in the Li family?

When men are on top, women are dispensable?

What a bastard!

"Are you surprised? Mom was also surprised back then, and even more resentful that she was born into the Li family despite being a daughter."

Li Lan suppressed the emotions about to collapse and continued: "But your grandfather was even more cruel than I expected. Back then, he not only threatened to take away the inheritance left by your father, but also used various means to suppress the people in this city.

I, don’t even give me a chance to stand up!”

The wailing sounds became more and more pitiful.

Li Lan's body was trembling, her face turned red, and she burst into tears.

The scar was revealed, such severe pain, if the window paper hadn't been pierced now, she could only tell Chen Dong, otherwise she would never be willing to bear it.

"mom……"

Chen Dong's expression changed drastically, and he hugged his mother hurriedly: "It's okay, as long as I'm here, everything will be fine as long as I'm here."

He was worried that his mother would be extremely angry.

Such a nightmare, recalling it in detail, is definitely not something my mother's physical condition can bear.

Full of injustice and unabashed bullying.

The Li family is just bullying their orphans and widowed mothers, and they don't even care about blood ties!

"I'm sorry, Dong'er. It's mom who's sorry for you. If mom had been tougher back then, your childhood wouldn't have been full of darkness."

Li Lan cried bitterly, full of self-blame.

"It's okay, I don't care."

Chen Dong shook his head and patted his mother's back to comfort him: "We have come out, and our son can support his mother. From now on, neither the Chen family nor the Li family will ever bully her again."

us!"

Li Lan nodded, biting his lip with his teeth.

Even though I tried not to cry, my tears still flowed uncontrollably.

His eyes were filled with extremely strong resentment.

Chen Dong patiently comforted her. After a full hour, Li Lan's mood gradually calmed down and she was freed from the tragic memory of that year.

"Mom, why are the Li family here now?"

Chen Dong's voice was cold, and as his mother cried bitterly, he regarded the so-called grandpa as an outsider, nothing more than the Li family.

Li Lan's voice was still sobbing.

She smiled arrogantly: "Because, they know that my son, Li Lan, has a future!"

"Want to repeat what happened back then?" Chen Dong raised his eyebrows.

Chen Dong would not be surprised at all if that grandpa's face were to repeat the drama again, regardless of family ties and his daughter's flesh and blood, and personally snatching away the inheritance his father had left for him and his mother.

Li Lan shook his head, the arrogance on his face became stronger and his smile became brighter.
