Hong Kong Island Chronicles: From Electrical Appliances King to Business Legend

At 12:30.

Li Jiagang rushed to Li Yongsen's house.

No. 16 Repulse Bay Residence.

Upon re-entering the Repulse Bay luxury residential area, Li Jiagang felt a sudden stirring and palpitation in his heart.

He knew this must be a muscle memory reaction from this body, after all, this place held many memories of his home.

"Don't worry, I will buy the house back and take over the family business in the future."

Li Jiagang thought to himself.

Whether it's the mansion at number 59 or his cheap father's factory, he will definitely buy them back eventually. Even if these properties have no value, he still has to buy them back because they are his family's assets.

Let it be as if he is making up for the regrets of the Li family and offering a memorial to the spirits of the three family members in heaven so that they may rest in peace.

At that moment, the mansion's gate slowly opened.

Li Jiagang also regained his composure.

"Young Master Jiagang, there are parking spaces inside. You can drive your car in directly."

"Thank you, Aunt Zhou."

Aunt Zhou was Li Yongsen's maid. She had been working at his uncle's house for over twenty years. In Li Jiagang's memory, Aunt Zhou had been there since he was old enough to understand things.

"Young Master Jiagang, you're too kind."

And inside the living room of the mansion.

"Daddy, why is he here too?"

Everyone sitting in the living room looked towards the garden. Some looked surprised when they saw Li Jiagang, while others frowned.

The woman speaking was Li Yongsen's youngest daughter, Li Huishan, who is only 17 years old and still studying at Hong Kong University. She only asked the question because she saw Li Jiagang getting out of the car through the high French windows in the living room.

Actually, she had no grudge against Li Jiagang. It was just that she often heard the adults at home talking about him, constantly saying how scoundrel he was and what was wrong with him. Over time, she developed a bad impression of him.

Upon hearing this, Li Yongsen, who was reading the newspaper, immediately changed his expression and was about to speak.

Sitting next to Li Huishan, her brother Li Jiahua, who was also celebrating his birthday today, noticed that his father's expression was off and immediately spoke up:

"Little sister, don't talk nonsense. Dad has his own plans for bringing our cousin over. What are you getting involved in?"

"Boss, you..."

"Alright, listen to me, everyone. Jiagang has turned over a new leaf and started anew. You are all brothers and sisters and should help each other instead of fighting each other."

"From now on, I don't want to hear anyone have any prejudice against Jiagang or bully him."

Li Yongsen solemnly reprimanded his children.

"Brother, don't let him fool you."

"As the saying goes, it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature. How can someone like him...?"

"Alright, Minying, you're still Jiagang's aunt, his elder. If even you treat him like this, how can they expect their generation to love each other in the future?"

"After the Yongheng family's incident, Jiagang seems to have matured overnight. Now he manages the company diligently every day and has long lost his former bad habits. You should stop targeting him. With the passing of Yongheng and his wife, you should let go of those unpleasant past events."

Li Yongsen offered his advice in a calm tone.

Li Minying is Li Jiagang's aunt.

Upon hearing Li Yongsen's words, Li Minying's face also revealed a faint sense of sadness.

Although she had disagreements with Li Jiagang's father during his lifetime, it was only a dispute over interests. But they were still siblings born of the same mother, and after Li Yongheng passed away, her grudges dissipated.

When Li Jiagang's parents passed away, she and her husband came to help personally, which shows that she is not the kind of person who cannot distinguish right from wrong and disregards family ties.

They're just a little concerned about money.

"Big brother, I understand."

"But what kind of company does Jia Gang manage?"

"Big brother, you didn't actually hand over that company you and second brother co-owned to Jia Gang to manage, did you?"

Li Yongsen nodded without saying a word.

This elicited varying expressions from everyone present. Li Yongsen, of course, understood their thoughts and, without giving them time to ponder, directly uttered harsh words:

"Alright, that's enough. Jiagang is coming in soon. I don't want anyone to be two-faced towards him anymore. We need to stay united as a family."

As soon as Li Yongsen finished speaking, Li Jiagang walked in carrying a bag: "Uncle, Aunt, Uncle, brothers and sisters, hello everyone."

Li Jiagang greeted everyone with a calm expression.

He wasn't the original owner of this body. Having lived most of his life, he was used to family conflicts and didn't care what they thought of him.

For now, he just needs to focus on doing his own thing.

"Jiagang is here! Come and sit down."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Li Jiagang didn't sit down immediately. Instead, he carried the gift and walked over to Li Jiahua, saying, "Brother Hua, happy birthday and best wishes for your health."

Li Jiahua was shocked to see that Li Jiagang had actually given him a gift. Although he was surprised that Li Jiagang seemed like a completely different person, he immediately stood up and said, "Jiagang, thank you for the gift. Please sit down."

It wasn't just that he was shocked by the changes in Lijiagang.

Apart from Li Yongsen, it can be said that no one present was unsurprised by the changes in Lijiagang.

What was Lijiagang like before?

Whether it's a dinner party at the old man's place or at Li Yongsen's house, he always has a nonchalant attitude and doesn't talk to anyone.

Let alone preparing gifts for others.

Not to mention they would greet everyone.

They wouldn't even nod to people, just mind their own business, finish eating and leave without any interaction whatsoever.

Sometimes, he would even lose his temper on the spot if his elders said a few words to him, making it impossible to have a peaceful gathering.

Over time, everyone ignored him and rejected him, making him virtually invisible in the Li family.

But now...

His change is really puzzling.

Just as everyone was wondering about the changes in Lijiagang, Li Yongsen's daughter, Li Huishan, stared wide-eyed at the gift in her older brother Li Jiahua's hand, quickly stood up and walked up to Lijiagang: "Hey, why didn't you give me a gift for my birthday before? I don't care, I want one too."

This scene was also unexpected for Li Jiagang.

He thought that even if he showed some change, people wouldn't talk to him much.

After all, it takes time for them to truly accept us; we have to take it slowly.

I never expected Li Huishan to do this.

"Hui Shan! That's rude of you."

"Daddy, he gave my older brother a gift but not me. How did I become the one who was impolite?" Li Huishan walked over to Li Yongsen in a coquettish manner, hugging his arm and shaking it repeatedly.

"I mean, what are you feeding him for? He's your cousin, Li Jiagang. Shouldn't you be more respectful of your title before asking for a gift and call him 'brother'?" Li Yongsen scolded his daughter while tapping her on the head.

"Okay, Jiagang cousin."

"I've already called out, where's my gift?" Li Huishan spread out her palms and asked him again.

Li Jiagang already knew her personality; she was the pampered princess type.

Although willful, he has a good heart.

He then smiled and replied, "This time it was my fault for not preparing a gift for you, cousin. How about I make it up to you tomorrow?"

"That's great, thank you, bro."

Overjoyed, Li Huishan was so excited that she stopped calling him "cousin" and started calling him "brother," and even hugged Li Jiagang's arm.

This put Li Jiagang in a somewhat awkward position.

Nominally they were cousins, but in spirit, Li Jiagang had no connection with her whatsoever.

His younger sister, who was taken for a bribe, seemed oblivious to her own development, and her substantial assets were making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

It made him really curious...

"Um...cousin...I want one too."

Just then, a girl of similar age to Li Huishan, sitting on the other side of the sofa, looked at Li Jiagang with expectant eyes.

Her name is Sun Baoyi, and she is her aunt's daughter.

Upon hearing this, Li Jiagang smiled.

"Okay, okay, even Bao Yimei has one."

"That's great, thank you, cousin."

Li Yongsen, who had been watching from the sidelines, felt very gratified to see this scene.

He was initially worried that bringing Li Jiagang over would result in rejection and cold treatment from everyone.

Seeing the siblings getting along well fills him with genuine joy, even more so than if he had earned millions.
