Chapter 1042: Chapter 1042

"Mom," Li Changlin called softly, only to choke up, as he did not know how to start the conversation about this matter.

"What’s wrong, Changlin, have you run into some trouble?" It is said that no one knows their child better than a mother, and Jiang Yiyun immediately became worried after hearing his call.

"Mom, I, I have encountered a perplexing issue," Li Changlin forced himself to say.

He wanted to seek his mother’s advice. Although Li Changlin truly wanted to complete his mission, if his mother was unwilling or did not accept his acknowledgment of his ancestral roots, he would definitely not go against her wishes.

After all, it was his mother who had raised him, and Li Changlin had no sentimental feelings toward Fu Mandie and Li Chengde.

As for Li Xiaoya, in Li Changlin’s heart, Sister Qiu Yingying was undoubtedly more important.

"Changlin, you, have you really found your parents?" However, to his surprise, upon hearing Li Changlin’s explanation, Jing Yiyun on the other end of the phone laughed joyfully, "It really worked; I can’t believe it actually worked. That’s wonderful, Changlin. Listen to Mom, I have no objections. As long as you can find your biological parents and live a happy life, Mom will be very happy, extremely happy. But there’s one thing you must always remember, Changlin, no matter where you go or what identity you assume in the future, you must never forget the kindness of your sister, understand!"

"Mom, I definitely won’t forget," Li Changlin quickly reassured, as he already had a vague inkling about something.

The reason his mother sent him to music school might have been to give him an opportunity to become famous.

With fame, naturally comes exposure, and that would make it easier to locate his biological parents.

It seemed his mother had deeply struggled with this, hence her exclamations that it really worked.

"Well then, Changlin, go attend to your matters, don’t worry about Mom, Mom has things to handle here, I’m going to hang up now!" On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yiyun was already weeping.

On one hand, she was truly happy that her son had found his biological parents; on the other hand, Jiang Yiyun was in extreme pain, feeling as though her most cherished possession had been taken from her.

Having raised her son for twenty years, he was about to leave her, and although Jiang Yiyun had foreseen this day coming and was prepared for it,

still, when the moment truly arrived, she felt very heartbroken, helpless, and sorrowful.

"I know what you mean." After hanging up the phone, Li Changlin appeared very calm. Since the System had issued the mission, this confirmed it could not be false, and Li Changlin naturally had no doubts. He looked calmly at Li Chengde and said softly, "Acknowledging my ancestors and becoming your son is not a problem, but I have one condition: the Li Family must accept my mother and my sister and bring them to the Li home, and then I will naturally return with you to acknowledge my ancestors!"

"Good, good!" Li Chengde nodded repeatedly, willing to agree to any condition as long as Li Changlin promised to return. The Li Family was large and influential and did not mind adding a few more people.

"Then, I have other matters to attend to, so please make yourselves at home," Li Changlin stepped aside and made a welcoming gesture.

Seeing his actions, Li Chengde didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Has this son been spoiled by others? How could he show such an attitude toward us? Are you not aware of what kind of family the Capital Li Family is!"

"Changlin, I, Mom, would like to have lunch with you," seeing Li Changlin’s dismissive demeanor, Fu Mandie was half heartbroken yet simultaneously filled with hope.

"Brother, you’re just going for training today. Let’s just grab a quick lunch together," Li Xiaoya coquettishly shook Li Changlin’s arm.

Li Changlin thought for a moment, unable to refuse the beautiful girl’s request, and awkwardly nodded with a smile, "Okay, let’s meet at Huarui opposite Dragon TV. I’ll be there at twelve sharp."

"But, but I also want to go to Dragon TV with you, Brother," Li Xiaoya blinked her beautiful eyes with an eager look, causing Li Changlin to frustratingly rub his nose, unable to bear refusing her request.

There was no helping it, Li Changlin also agreed to this request, causing Li Xiaoya to giggle, and she even mischievously stuck her tongue out at Fu Mandie, "Mom, I won’t be accompanying you and dad. You guys go have fun, and remember to arrive by twelve at Huarui, I will call you."

"Got it, got it," Fu Mandie hurriedly nodded with a laugh, Li Chengde also squeezed out a half-smile.

"Then, Xiaoya and I will be leaving first, Father, Mother, have a fun time." Because there was no feeling of closeness, Li Changlin’s address toward Li Chengde and Fu Mandie was still a bit stiff.

Nevertheless, Fu Mandie was already very satisfied and quickly agreed with a smile.

Thus, Li Changlin walked towards the door with Li Xiaoya, and Huang Yingjie, watching from behind, prepared to immediately follow. However, Li Chengde suddenly spoke with a stern voice, "Wait, Huang Yingjie."

"Yes, Uncle," Huang Yingjie, docile like a kitten, immediately halted.

In front, Li Changlin’s steps briefly stiffened but he didn’t pause, quickly disappearing at the doorway.

"Go back and tell the Huang Family people that if they have any issues, they should bring them up directly. Sneaky maneuvers behind the scenes will lead to major trouble!" Not sure what Li Chengde had found out, but his words made Huang Yingjie’s heart tremble, and he quickly agreed to each point.

Immediately after, Li Chengde’s tone shifted and he said coldly, "As for Changlin and the Li Family’s matters, knowing in your mind is enough, do not spread it around. If Changlin is damaged because of your loose talk, I will destroy all your cultivation!"

With that, a fierce aura burst forth from inside Li Chengde, pressing towards Huang Yingjie with overwhelming force.

"Yes, yes, please rest assured, Uncle, I will definitely keep my mouth shut and not reveal any information about Brother Changlin," Huang Yingjie had a terrified expression and seemed to tremble.

Li Chengde, satisfied with the reaction, waved his hand to dismiss Huang Yingjie.

"Psh, thinking to embarrass this young master without even having Brother Changlin’s aura, what a joke!" Huang Yingjie sneered internally as he left.

He had long witnessed Li Changlin’s methods; this Li Chengde with merely a half-step into Void Energy cultivation could hardly compare, and for Huang Yingjie, it was hardly worth a second glance.
