If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 818: Chapter 818: Forgoing a Lifetime of Glory for Me
 

Li Father and Uncle Mi’s faces changed immediately, becoming very unsightly.

Li Beiting stopped everyone present and indifferently said, “I do not like marriages that are alliances of commerce, although it is proven that such marriages have more advantages than disadvantages. But in front of love, such a marriage is no different than a failure.”

“I am very much in love with someone, her name is Yu Weiwei. We’ve known each other for many years, and she is my first love, as well as the only person I want to marry in this lifetime. I cannot betray my original intentions.”

Li Beiting’s voice was faint and deep, as he spoke, he took out a little red book from his suit pocket.

He raised his hand and calmly said, “Weiwei and I have already obtained our marriage certificate, we are legally husband and wife. Therefore, I sincerely apologize here to Miss Mi and the relatives and friends of the Mi Family, I’m sorry.”

Li Beiting’s attitude was very sincere, his words did not cause the slightest embarrassment to the Mi Family.

He bowed respectfully, bending at just the right angle in the direction of Mi Fei’s parents.

“I once promised Weiwei that I would love only her for all my life. Therefore, I cannot offer Miss Mi a certain future. My heart is too small, sometimes, it can only fit one person. I’ve loved Weiwei for many years, through on and off, through fights and quarrels, but in the end, we still love each other.”

“Once, my parents strongly opposed my loving her and even more, they didn’t agree to my marrying her. I also once betrayed my own wishes and broke up with her. But fortunately, after so many years, she hasn’t married, and I haven’t married.”

Li Beiting’s voice choked, his eyes already moist with tears.

His eyes were ringed with red, but it did not alter the determination and depth on his face.

“Today, here, she did not come, but I likewise want to make another promise to her, that I can forsake my lifetime of glory, just to protect her peace for life.”

Li Beiting spoke very slowly, and as he said this, he looked down.

At this point, his personal secretary came up with something that looked like a folder.

Li Beiting quietly opened it, and at this moment, countless pairs of eyes were staring at Li Beiting, including Shen Chi’s.

However, Shen Chi remained impassive, his face betraying no emotion.

He was silent, squinting his eyes, looking up at the stage.

Li Father and Uncle Mi were already trembling with anger, they even wanted to rush onto the stage.

But due to the dignity of both families and their own manners, they did not.

Of course, as if well-prepared, Li Beiting had a group of bodyguards enter from the outside, blocking everyone.

Mi Fei covered her heart, her face pale, her hands shaking. Her eyes, looking towards Li Beiting, were filled with despair…

Yes, Li Beiting had never agreed to get a marriage certificate with her, but she insisted on marrying him, she never doubted that he had already obtained one.

So that’s how it is…

Li Beiting, in front of everyone, opened the folder, and nobody present tried to stop him.

Inside the folder was a stack of documents, and he calmly said, “I know that the mistake I’ve made today won’t be forgiven not just by Uncle Mi, but also my parents. I also know, that someone like me, does not deserve Miss Mi. Here, are all of the Li Family company’s authorizations, and I have signed them. Today, I formally resign from the position of President.”

After speaking, Li Beiting bowed once again; this time, towards his parents.

Shen Chi watched all of this, the curvature at the corner of his lips deepening; it was beyond his expectations.

He had not anticipated that this time, Li Beiting was determined to burn his bridges, to fight back with his back against the wall.

By surrendering the company, of course, nothing could threaten him anymore.

Probably, his frozen funds could not be reclaimed either.

The current Li Beiting was truly penniless.

“I know, I am irresponsible, to the Mi Family, to the Li Family, both irresponsible. I do not seek forgiveness, but I ask not to be disturbed anymore,” Li Beiting said.

Mi Fei’s face was extremely pale; Li Beiting’s father wouldn’t allow him to speak any further!

Li’s father bellowed, his voice cold as he said, “Li Beiting, shut your mouth!”

Clearly unable to cope with such a shock, Li Beiting’s mother clutched at her chest, her whole body convulsing.

“I’m sorry, Father, I’m sorry, Mother,” repeated Li Beiting as he apologized to them again.

Finally, Li Beiting turned officially to face Mi Fei, his eyes filled with sincerity and remorse.

“I’m sorry, Miss Mi.”

The whole room was stunned, buzzing with commentary!

Some said Li Beiting was scum, others said he was loyal and devoted; the opinions were diverse and incessant.

The reporters were more excited than ever – this was a huge headline, as C City hadn’t seen an event like this for a long time!

They scrambled to capture everyone’s expressions, hoping to snag the headline and exclusive scoop!

The flashbulbs kept flickering, and Li’s father, in a rage, gestured to his bodyguards and said, “Get these reporters out, all of them, and smash their cameras!”

Li’s father was furious, having lost all reason.

After speaking, he went up to the stage and delivered a slap with a raised hand!

The slap was heavy; a red handprint immediately appeared on Li Beiting’s face, and blood was also trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Still, Li Beiting remained impassive.

“Fine, you still want that woman, do you?” said Li’s father harshly. “Get out, from today on you don’t have to recognize me as your father anymore! Don’t let me see you again!”

Li’s father truly hadn’t expected Li Beiting to betray him to such an extent, giving up face, money, and even the company!

This time, Li Beiting didn’t speak, but his eyes still held gravity and regret.

He nodded his head, saying nothing.

“Li Beiting!” This time, it was Mi Fei’s father who called out to him.

Mi Fei’s father was so angry that his complexion turned pale, years of composure completely vanished, his bloodshot eyes staring at Li Beiting as if wanting to devour him.

He strode up to Li Beiting, his gaze as sharp as knives.

“Li Beiting, have you forgotten our agreement? If the wedding doesn’t proceed as scheduled, Yu Weiwei’s parents won’t live to see another day,” said Mi Fei’s father fiercely.

His daughter had been bullied, and he couldn’t swallow the insult.

Shen Chi, sitting in the back, heard this and curled the corner of his lips.

Li Beiting looked up, searching the room for Shen Chi.

He didn’t actually know if Shen Chi had come, but his instincts told him Shen Chi must be there.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, his gaze landed on Shen Chi.

Seeing Shen Chi’s calm and composed expression, Li Beiting’s heart instantly settled.

Shen Chi didn’t plan to stand up; he remained seated where he was.

Turning to Mr. Mi, Li Beiting responded, “Uncle Mi, you’ve been secretly watching over Weiwei’s parents for a while now, using that as a threat. In Canada, I was powerless, but here in C City, fortunately, I haven’t failed in my duty.”

Mr. Mi’s complexion altered, hesitation flickering in his eyes.

Li Beiting continued, “Weiwei’s parents are safe now.”
