Chapter 291: Battle of Words
"Who are you? How dare you speak so arrogantly in my Li family?" The old man in white asked angrily, "Is this the rule in your family?"
"Yes, I haven't learned many rules, but there is one thing." Shang Ruoyi whispered: "If you want to live a long life, you should mind your own business, especially immoral things."
"You!" The old man in white slammed the table fiercely: "Who are you!"
"Lingjun." Shang Ruoyi looked at Li Huaian, who was sitting in the main seat and whose expression had eased a little, and said, "Why, you guys teamed up and came here to bully my grandfather and sister, and I can't say a few words?"
Grandfather?
What grandfather?
When did another grandson appear in the Li family?
The three old men looked at Li Huaian in unison: "What, what's going on?"
Li Huaian did not explain further, but simply said: "She is indeed my granddaughter, there is no doubt about this."
Li Wenshan and Li Quan's faces turned very ugly when they heard this.
Thinking back to the day when she came to the Li family to seek an explanation, she was here and asked why she was the old man's doctor. How come she became his grandson today?
"Humph, so what if she's my granddaughter? Her last name isn't Li. Our Li family's assets cannot be handed over to outsiders." The old man in green snorted coldly, "Our Li family's assets must be inherited by members of the Li family."
"That's right!" said the purple-clothed old man sitting at the end, "He has to be from our Li family. A crap grandson with unknown origins actually wants to have the final say in our Li family and get a piece of the pie. Ugh!"
"I'm going to make it clear today. Apart from Wenshan and Quan'er, if anyone else takes over the Li family, we old men will definitely not recognize them!"
"You are shameless and take advantage of your age. This is what I mean." Shang Ruoyi's words were merciless. The three old men were so angry that they jumped up and down: "You are full of foul language. How can you be so vicious at such a young age?"
"I'm vicious?" Shang Ruoyi looked at them and said, "Am I vicious or are you vicious?" Li Wenshan and his son asked Shang Ruoyi's words, which made the faces of the people present change several times.
How did she know?
"But what kind of gold, silver, or jewelry, or assets of the Li family?"
Shang Ruoyi was not wrong in her guess. Li Wenshan had indeed exchanged several shops of the Li family for them. However, these shops could only be given to them if Li Wenshan returned to the Li family.
To him, what did these mean? As long as he could control the Li family, what did a few shops matter?
"You, you, you! You are slandering me!" The old man in white tightly grasped the cane in his hand, raised it slightly, and looked as if he was going to hit her.
Seeing this, Li Xia Xia stepped in front of Shang Ruoyi, looked at the old man in white and said, "Great Grandpa, what are you doing? Do you still want to hit her?" In fact, she was a little scared, and even her voice trembled a little, but she still stood in front of Shang Ruoyi with her back straight.
Seeing this, Shang Ruoyi curled her lips slightly, smiled, patted Li Xia Xia's shoulder, and said softly, "What is there to be afraid of? This is your home."
As Shang Ruoyi finished speaking, Li Xia Xia's eyes lit up. Yes! This is her home!
Li Xia Xia looked at them again, her chin slightly raised: "This is our Li family. If you want to use force here, blame us for being rude!" She spoke in a loud and clear voice, and her attitude was a complete change from just now.
Shang Ruoyi raised the corners of her lips slightly. This girl is really very versatile.
"How dare you! How dare you talk to me like that, you little bastard? You are a bastard born of a mother but not raised by her. You are arrogant and rude, and you have no manners at all. You deserve to be taken to the ancestral temple to be educated."
Li Xia Xia turned pale when she heard this. Whenever she was mentioned that she had no mother, her emotions could not help but surge.
At this moment, a figure stood in front of her. Shang Ruoyi's eyes were cold, and even her mask was covered with a layer of cold light.
"Can you say that again."
The old man in white's pupils shrank slightly. He never expected that such aura could emanate from a little kid.
"Why, is what I said wrong?" He whispered, "You are so rude to your elders, can't we say something about it?"
"Elder?" Shang Ruoyi sneered, "You are worthy!"
"you!"
"You are just a little older than me, so you deserve to be called elders?" Shang Ruoyi sneered, "Why don't you look at yourself in the bronze mirror? How dare you come here to point fingers and shout."
Shang Ruoyi's merciless words made them so angry that they jumped up and down.
Li Huaian felt happy. For so many years, he had been taught these so-called ethical principles, propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame by these three uncles, which made him feel very depressed. He did not expect that today he would feel relieved by what his granddaughter said.
"You must know who has the final say in the Li family now. The current head of the Li family is my grandfather. You are just older than him. Can you surpass the head of this family?" Shang Ruoyi glanced at them and said, "If you really have this ability, your families would not be dependent on my grandfather."
They were so angry at her that they jumped up and down, but they had no reason to refute. They were indeed dependent on Li Huaian for their survival now.
"You are a grandson who came out of nowhere. What qualifications do you have to point fingers and make irresponsible remarks here? This is the Li family! You are an outsider..."
Before Li Quan finished speaking, Shang Ruoyi interrupted him: "What's wrong with being an outsider? Just because you are not an outsider, how outstanding are you? Eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, tell me yourself, which of these do you not touch? The money from the casino has been repaid, so the money from the underground bank must not have been repaid yet! So much time has passed, and the interest has been compounded, the tens of thousands of taels of silver must have doubled to a hundred thousand taels!"
Shang Ruoyi's words successfully made Li Quan's face turn as pale as liver.
She was right. Now the money had become one hundred thousand taels. If he didn't pay it back, he was afraid that those underground money lenders would really take his life.
Everyone looked at Shang Ruoyi and dared not say anything.
"Everyone." Li Huaian said in a deep voice: "What Lingjun said is exactly what I thought in my heart. If you uncles think that I drove them out of the Li family just for those tens of thousands of taels of silver, then you think I am too stingy." He looked at Li Wenshan and his son, whose faces suddenly changed, and sighed: "It is true that our Li family has poor family education and raised a beast who wants to kill his father."
what?
Patricide?
Everyone looked at Li Wenshan in shock. This man looked gentle and polite, but no one expected him to be such a heartless person.
"Thinking carefully, I am indeed ashamed of my ancestors and the Li family." He sighed again: "So, I have decided that our branch will be separated from the Li family tree. I have no face to see my ancestors for raising such a corrupt descendant." He looked up at the uncles who stood up in shock and said: "So, what happens to our Li family's descendants has nothing to do with our family, not to mention that the children we raised have brought disgrace to the Li family."
