Chapter 292 Completely severing ties
what?
Separate from the Li family?
How is that possible?
Now, their branch is the most powerful one in the Li family. If they leave the Li family, then the Li family that has prospered for so many years will be nothing but an empty shell. The future of the younger generation in their family will be affected, and even their marriages will have to be downgraded several levels.
How could they be willing to let such a God of Wealth be separated from the Li family?
What's more, his Li family now raises purple Dongzhu, and their status among the aristocratic families has risen. Driving them away at this time must be a mental illness.
Shang Ruoyi looked at her grandfather with a little surprise. She never expected that he would say such words as leaving the family.
"Huaian, don't be angry. Your uncles and aunts are just worried about you. The Li family has no one to inherit. What will they do in the future? The Li family has no successors! Do you want to adopt someone from one of our families?" The old man in white looked at him, with a probing look in his eyes.
What if, what if?
What if he was going to choose someone to adopt from among their families? Would that mean that this overwhelming wealth would have a chance to fall on their descendants?
This blatant plot almost made Shang Ruoyi laugh out loud.
She finally understood why her grandfather's branch was the only one in the Li family that prospered.
"Who said that there is no one in my Li family who can inherit the family business?" Li Huaian whispered, "Whether it is my granddaughter or my grandson, they are all the blood of our Li family and can inherit the family business."
"Nonsense! A little girl will eventually get married, how can she inherit the family business? In the future, won't the Li family's assets be passed on to the husband's family? I remember that your granddaughter's marriage has been arranged. And you, the grandson, don't even have a surname, how can you inherit our Li family's assets!"
At this moment, Li Xia Xia looked at Shang Ruoyi with wavering eyes.
Shang Ruoyi curled the corners of her lips slightly and whispered a few words in her ear.
She was shocked. Marrying into the wife's family?
Yes! Why didn’t I think of that?
She walked firmly to Li Huaian and knelt down.
"Xia Xia, what are you doing?"
"Grandfather, please make the decision for me. I don't want to marry Zhang He." Li Xia Xia said coldly, "Zhang He from the Zhang family is not as honest as my father said. He is a playboy. He hasn't even married a wife yet, but he has taken in several concubines. Not only that, he even has children. If I marry him, I will be the mother of those children. I don't want to marry a man like that."
"What?" Li Huaian frowned fiercely: "That kid from the Zhang family actually did such a thing?"
"You are talking nonsense!" Li Wenshan said angrily, "You were chosen by my father after careful selection. With your looks, marrying into the Zhang family is already marrying up. How dare you talk nonsense here!"
Shang Ruoyi sneered, "There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Zhang He wanted to pass the imperial examination, so he went to see a master. How could he succeed? The master said that Zhang He's virtue was damaged, and he needed to find a woman with a very strong destiny to bring him good luck. That's why he came to ask for it, and he also gave you 20,000 taels of silver. Am I right?"
Li Wenshan's heart was pounding. How did she know?
"You, you."
"Use these 20,000 taels of silver to buy two pieces of headgear for your concubines, and give the rest to your mistress for safekeeping."
Seeing the cold sweat on Li Wenshan's forehead getting more and more, Shang Ruoyi's smile deepened: "This concubine is secretly kept by you, not far from the house you live in now."
"Shut up!" Li Wenshan's face turned pale and he said angrily, "How did you know all this?"
"How can I know it? What's the point? Didn't I just say it? If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. If you want to find out, there will always be clues to find."
Li Huaian sighed, feeling even more disappointed with his son. Driving him out of the Li family was the wisest decision he had ever made.
"You put at least two hundred thousand taels in the hands of your mistress, but you didn't help your son repay the debt." Shang Ruoyi's eyes fell on Li Quan's face, who was shocked. "I heard that your mistress raised a son for you and hired a very strict teacher. It seems that you want to hand over the Li family's business to him!"
Before she finished her words, she heard Li Quan shouting, "Dad! Is what she said true?"
"Shut up!" Li Wenshan said angrily.
"Why are you shutting up?" Li Quan looked at his father whom he trusted so much in disbelief. "So many people are chasing me for debts, and you clearly have hundreds of thousands of taels, but you are not willing to give me even a few tens of thousands of taels. Could it be that you really don't want to hand over the family business to me as she said? Instead, you want to give it to the bastard outside?"
"Snapped!"
Li Quan looked at Li Wenshan in shock: "You hit me?"
"That's your brother, what a bastard!" He shouted angrily, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you!"
Even a fool could tell from his answer that he agreed with what Shang Ruoyi had just said.
"That's enough!" Li Wenshan knocked heavily on the table: "Isn't it embarrassing enough?"
"father."
"Don't call me dad. From now on, I'm not your dad. I can't raise someone as heartless as you." Li Wenshan coughed heavily a few times. Shang Ruoyi took out a pill and handed it to him: "Grandfather, it's time to take the medicine."
Li Huaian took the pill and was about to put it in her mouth when she saw Li Wenshan rushing up and pointing at her nose and said, "I know, it must be you! It must be you, right? It was you who controlled my father with the medicine, and that's why my father kicked us out of the Li family."
"Don't you know why you were kicked out?" Shang Ruoyi sneered, "What did you say when the old man had a heart attack that day? You didn't allow the servants to call a doctor, and you wanted to watch him die in front of your eyes. In this way, everything in the Li family will be yours. Everyone in this mansion can testify to this. Do you need me to bring a few people to confront you and your son on the spot?"
Li Wenshan's expression flickered, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Li Huaian swallowed the pill and his complexion improved a lot. He waved his hand and the housekeeper brought a pen and ink. In front of everyone, he personally wrote a document to sever the father-son relationship with his own hand, and put his name and handprint on it: "From today on, Li Wenshan and I completely sever the father-son relationship. Among his children, except Xia Xia, the other heirs have nothing to do with my Li family." He set his eyes on Li Xia Xia: "As for Xia Xia's marriage with the Zhang family, I will go to the Zhang family in person to cancel the engagement."
