Lin Tian could only shake his head silently. He stayed at the Xiao Family because he was a bodyguard; pursuing Miss was a far cry from reality.
Given Miss’s cold nature, even a single kiss seed to bring no change. Lin Tian thought it was more realistic to pursue Second Miss.
Xiao Manxuan might be a bit willful, but her heart was actually very tender, far cuter than Miss, that strong woman.
However, listening to Ou ngng and Zhou Botong, it seed they had no fondness for this Third Young Master Li, yet they didn’t share the sa attitude towards Li Wenxuan and Li Xiaoxiao. The three were siblings; why treat them differently?
But Lin Tian could confirm one fact, since he was called Third Young Master Li, he certainly wasn’t the Li Family’s first in line for inheritance. From this perspective, his status was a lot lower than Yun Xiaotian’s.
Lin Tian turned his head to take a look at Li Wenxuan, wanting to gauge the attitude of this son of the Li Family. Unexpectedly, Li Wenxuan wore a sullen expression, with even a hint of hatred in his eyes.
Damn, could this be another drama about a rich family’s fight for inheritance? Lin Tian speculated internally.
"Ou ngng, what’s the na of this Third Young Master Li?" he asked, curious to learn more about Li Wenxuan’s situation from the side.
"Li Wenrong, Li Wenxuan’s younger brother," Ou ngng said, but there was a strange tone when she ntioned the word ’younger brother’.
Li Wenxuan didn’t say anything, but Li Xiaoxiao was looking at him, her eyes filled with worry.
It seed the affairs of the Li Family were even more complicated than those of the Yun Family, Lin Tian thought.
As the group was talking, two flashy sports cars finally arrived at the parking lot. The car doors rose, and Li Wenrong and Yun Xiaotian almost simultaneously stepped out.
Li Wenrong was dressed in a suit, with his hair neatly combed, looking very gentlemanly. A perfectly asured smile played at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes also carried a faint smile.
His appearance was impeccable, indeed the type that was popular with won, a true tall, rich, and handso figure.
Generally, except for the nouveau riche, the descendants of family tycoons are quite attractive — the n handso, the won beautiful. Even if they do not reach the lengths of handsoness or beauty, they are not too hard on the eyes.
Even if the looks were not good two generations earlier, their wealthy families could marry beautiful won generation after generation. Over several generations, with genetic optimization, an initially average appearance would beco attractive.
This is why the princes and princesses of foreign royal families have such high aesthetic values; they are selected over many generations for their genes.
Many people say, why is God so biased, giving him or her good looks and wealth? In fact, this has nothing to do with God at all, it’s all man-made.
However, Lin Tian just didn’t have a good impression of this Third Young Master Li because he believed in one principle, there is no perfect person in this world. And if soone appears perfect, there’s only one possibility, they’re putting on an act.
After the two n exited their cars, they didn’t linger like the others but went straight to the entrance of Tianfu Restaurant. As Li Wenrong walked by, he glanced in Lin Tian’s direction, his gaze rely sweeping over without pausing. Lin Tian was ignored, and then Li Wenrong’s gaze settled on Li Wenxuan.
It was only then that Li Wenrong revealed a smile different from before. Lin Tian read into that smile, it was one of disdain.
When Li Wenrong saw Xiaoxiao, he frowned for a mont, a flash of displeasure crossing his eyes.
What’s the deal with these rich people, even siblings acting like this? Lin Tian wondered again.
"Brother Tian, I don’t want to see this person, I’m going in first," Li Wenxuan said somberly.
After speaking, he really headed toward the main entrance; Li Xiaoxiao glanced at Lin Tian and, hesitating for a mont, followed her older brother.
"Second brother, why the rush? You aren’t even coming over to greet your third brother?" Li Wenrong said with a chuckle, seemingly unaffected by his brother’s cold words.
Li Wenxuan turned around, looked at him coldly, and huffed, "You do your thing, I’ll see my friends; we have different purposes, why waste each other’s ti?"
"Little sister, you see your third brother too, won’t you co over and say hello?" Li Wenrong was still smiling as he spoke, apparently unfazed by his siblings’ cold language.
"Second brother, I... I still need to visit my master," Li Xiaoxiao said softly. Although she spoke gently, her aning was clear: she disliked being with this ’third brother.’
"Little sister, let’s go," said Li Wenxuan, turning to step through the main entrance.
"Li Wenxuan!" Li Wenrong couldn’t help but shout angrily; the previously suave smile was now completely replaced with rage.
At this mont, no one entered the main entrance, even Yun Xiaotian stopped, as if everyone was waiting to see how the excitent unfolded.
"What now? Li Wenrong, do you want to fight?" Li Wenxuan turned his head to look at his younger brother and said coldly.
Li Wenrong suddenly laughed, as if he’d heard the funniest joke in the world.
He said beamingly, "Third brother, I call you third brother and you think you can ride over my head? Hmph, a child born of a concubine is still a child born of a concubine. Even if father acknowledges you as his son, you’re lesser than an outsider in the Li family. Know your place, or else you and your mother being thrown out of the Li Family, what happens to you, well, no one can guarantee."
Child born of a concubine? Lin Tian was taken aback; how is such a term still used in modern society? In ancient tis, if a family’s master took a concubine, the children born of that concubine were considered ’children born of a concubine.’
Such people naturally had no status within the family, were not respected, and even faced much unjust treatnt. Could it be that the Li Family Head maintained a system of concubinage?
"Ou ngng, Brother Zhou, what’s going on here?" Lin Tian turned to ask Ou ngng and the others.
"Alas, it’s an unfortunate matter. Strictly speaking, Li Wenxuan is the illegitimate child of the Li Family Patriarch. Before the patriarch took control of the Li family, he was fond of a woman from a common family. But as you know, the marriages of family offspring aren’t for them to decide upon, and are often about matching social statuses. Forced by the family and his wife’s pressure, the Li Family Patriarch eventually gave up that woman," Ou ngng explained.
She glanced at the situation over there before continuing, "But that woman got pregnant and had the Li Family Patriarch’s child, which he was unaware of at the ti. Later, when he took charge of the Li Family and had power and influence, he couldn’t marry that woman since he represented the Li Family’s image, so to compensate her, he brought her and her child into the Li Family to be cared for. As for what price he paid to get his primary wife to agree, outsiders don’t know."
God, the affairs of the wealthy are truly damn complicated, Lin Tian sighed inwardly.
"Li Wenrong, don’t push too far!" Li Wenxuan said, trying to suppress his anger.
"Out of respect for father, of course I won’t, after all, you’re my second brother. But you know my rules, I don’t like anyone walking in front of before entering the door, so as long as you step aside, I won’t bother dealing with you," Li Wenrong stated indifferently.
No wonder so many young talents and rich young n didn’t dare to enter. It turned out that Li Wenrong had this odd habit; they feared offending him. Lin Tian sneered inwardly, but what he feared least was such wealthy people, even if he was Third Young Master Li.
