The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 841 - 856: Only If You Leave Can You Let Go of Your Feelings for Zhong Li
After watching TV for a while, Zhong Li helped Yu Lu back to the room. After washing her body in the bathroom, Zhong Li lay down on the bed with Yu Lu: "Mom, I’ll sleep with you tonight."
Zhong Li leaned closer to Yu Lu: "Mom, my adoptive mother has passed away. When I was a child and it was my birthday, she would always make me longevity noodles by hand, help me with my studies, braid my hair, retie my shoelaces when they came undone, and tell stories to Xiao Xi and me at bedtime..."
Zhong Li wanted to tell Yu Lu about her past, to let her know she had been well.

In the office, Qi Weidong sat with his legs crossed on the sofa: "Shangyu, Dad has found your sister, and you know her."
Qi Shangyu knew Qi Weidong had a daughter and also knew he hadn’t given up searching for her all these years.
"I know her too?"
Qi Weidong smiled and nodded: "Zhong Li is my daughter. We have already been reunited. You are two years older than her; she should call you brother."
Qi Shangyu’s hand, resting on the table, suddenly tightened. How could Zhong Li be his sister?
Qi Weidong looked at his somewhat pale face and sighed helplessly: "I know your feelings, but even without Nancy, you couldn’t be with Zhong Li; you are siblings."
The news came too suddenly, and Qi Shangyu had absolutely no mental preparation. He picked up the pack of cigarettes on the desk, his fingers trembling slightly as he took one out and lit it.
In the light smoke and mist, those deep dark eyes were filled with despair like a caged bird.
After the large office had been silent for over ten minutes, Qi Weidong spoke again: "I want to hand over this company’s management to Zhong Li. How about you take charge of the overseas business?"
Qi Shangyu silently smoked the cigarette in his hand. He couldn’t accept the fact that Zhong Li was his sister, nor did he want to.
Seeing him remain silent, Qi Weidong paused and spoke again: "Only if you leave can you stop thinking about Zhong Li. Dad, this is for your own good."
Qi Shangyu stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with his cigarette-wielding hand resting on the bright glass: "Dad, give me some time to think about it."
"I’m not forcing you; take your time to think it over," Qi Weidong said, standing up and leaving the office.
After the heavy door closed, Qi Shangyu punched the glass window, and blood splattered instantly, dripping onto the collar of his white shirt.
Outside the office, Assistant Wang knocked on the door for quite a while with no response. Thinking Qi Shangyu might not be in the office, he pushed the door open and went in.
He was immediately stunned by the scene before him: "President Qi, why is your hand bleeding?"
Assistant Wang quickly walked over, placed the files on the desk, glanced at Qi Shangyu’s still bleeding hand, and then looked at the blood-stained glass window.
"President Qi, let me bandage it for you first. The wound keeps bleeding," he said, heading to the nearby cabinet to get the first aid kit.
Qi Shangyu extinguished his cigarette, picked up the car keys from the desk, and left.
By the time Assistant Wang, holding the first aid kit, reacted, the office door had already been closed. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

In the bar, Qi Shangyu had no idea how many drinks he’d had. He raised his hand to tug at his tie, the bloodstains on his hand and fingers having already dried.
"Open another bottle for me."
