Uncle Li Wanshan often sabotaged Li Zishen behind the scenes, which is an undeniable fact.
Yet some things were unknown to outsiders, who instead thought he contributed a lot to the family business, especially after the death of elder brother Li Zhenshan, as he seemed to be running around, truly breaking his heart over it.
He colluded with shareholders to put pressure on Li Zishen, but outsiders saw it as full-fledged support.
Even so, Madam Lai and Li Zishen turned a blind eye; family scandals should not be aired in public, and appearances still needed to be maintained.
After all, everyone was related, and taking things too far would benefit no one if the veneer of civility were to be torn away.
With so many people coming and going in Bie Yuan, someone with ulterior motives might have overheard Li Zihan's words and then sold the story to journalists for a hefty reward.
Internal stability within the group was extremely important.
