"Xiao Xiao, it's not easy for you."
Li Xiao, who was eating cake, raised her head and looked at her cousin, Xu Xufeng, in confusion. How was it not easy for her? She had been in a good mood for the past two days.
Especially when she knew that Ren Xiaotang had been taken away, she was so happy that she ate an extra bowl of rice that night.
Would Chan Ka-yin be happy if she knew that her bootlicker had gone in to accompany her?
Of course, she was even happier when she saw that the Li Clan's stock had hit a record low. Fortunately, she sold off her shares quickly, or else her net worth would have shrunk again. She was grateful to the Ren family who took over her shares. Speaking of which, Lê Nam Giệu's net worth had shrunk from hundreds of billions to tens of billions in just three months. It seemed that they would fall off the rich list this year. It was tragic. Those who heard it would cry, and those who saw it would be sad. Especially the Jiannan Entertainment Company, it seemed like it was going to close down. Li Xiao couldn't help but shed crocodile tears for her scumbag father.
Xu Xufeng said, "The environment you're living in now is too dangerous." She could be schemed against at any time.
Li Xiao thought for a while and felt that her cousin's eyesight was not very good. The ones in trouble now were Lê Nam Giệu and Ren Xiaotang, right? She had a lot of fun pinching them every day.
"I will definitely make the company big and be your and my sister's backer." Xu Xufeng seemed to be thinking about something, and his face was full of fighting spirit.
Li Xiao smiled. "You can do it! Don't lose my investment money. "
Next to her, her cousin, Xu Rou, was looking at a text message. Her expression was not very good.
Xu Xufeng frowned. "Sister, it can't be that second aunt sent you a message again, right? Don't worry about her. She only cares about money and nothing else. She will only ask you to bear with it. "
Xu Rou obviously did not want to talk about it. "Okay, she's also an elder. We should respect her. Don't worry, I won't listen to her. "
Xu Xufeng's eyebrows finally relaxed.
Li Xiao pondered for a moment. She had to call her Second Aunt, but she had never heard Ewen mention her. They probably didn't have a good relationship. She wasn't the kind of person who insisted on getting to the bottom of things. If Xu Rou didn't want to talk about it, then so be it.
After she finished her snacks, she asked Xu Xufeng to drive her to the Ren family's house.
Xu Xufeng was a little nervous. "Why are we going to the Ren family? Do you want me to call a few more people? "
Obviously, because of Ren Xiaotang, the Ren family had become a tiger's den.
Li Xiao took out an IOU. "I heard that Ren Xiaotang was taken away. If he is locked up, how can I get the money from him?"
Therefore, this debt had to be settled with the Ren family.
Xu Xufeng's mouth twitched. He didn't know what Ren Xiaotang was thinking. He actually wrote an IOU to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao smiled. "Don't worry, the Ren family cares about their reputation. Nothing will happen."
Of course, she didn't have a good impression of the Ren family. To be honest, the reason why Ren Xiaotang acted so unscrupulously was because of the Ren family's indulgence. In the past, Ren Xiaotang used his family's power to suppress the Xu family, but the Ren family didn't stop him. If it weren't for the fact that Ren Xiaotang's livestream had caused such a big commotion that the Ren family couldn't suppress it, they wouldn't have expelled Ren Xiaotang from the family.
Rather than saying that Li Xiao was asking for money, it was better to say that she was trying to embarrass the Ren family. She never intended to have a good relationship with the Ren family. Perhaps the Ren family had already put the blame on her.
Xu Xufeng said, "I'll go in with you!"
Li Xiao didn't care about this. She took out a few talismans from her pocket and handed them to Xu Rou. "You two divide it equally. Carry it with you when you're free." She was quite generous to her own people. Xu Rou and Xu Xufeng were obviously classified as her own people.
The talismans she had drawn were all for self-defense, just in case.
Although Xu Rou didn't really believe these, it was his sister's good intentions after all. She smiled, divided the talismans, and put them in her purse.
****
Li Xiao didn't have Mr. Ren's phone number. She had contacted him through the Chiang Dynasty.
When she arrived at the Ren family's mansion, a red Ferrari was parked in the parking lot. It was ostentatious and in sharp contrast to the low-key cars around it. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw a graceful figure walking towards her.
Li Xiao was stunned. Wasn't that Ren Xiaotang's former date, Su Lanqing? Why was she here?
Su Lanqing was also slightly stunned when she saw her. Her bright red lips pursed into a smile, and she nodded slightly as a greeting. Then she got into the red Ferrari and drove away.
Li Xiao arrived at the gate. The door opened automatically, and a butler led her in.
It was Li Xiao's first time seeing Mr. Ren. Her occupational habit kicked in, and she couldn't help but start to look at his face.
From his face, she could tell that he was a tough and stubborn person. Eh, he would be in a bloody disaster within a month, but his life wouldn't be in danger.
Old Master Ren's voice was low and deep, giving off a sense of awe-inspiring might.
"Li Xiao, you're very good."
It was obvious that he was being sarcastic.
Li Xiao smiled sweetly. "I also think that I'm very good. My mother taught me well."
Mr. Ren choked. He had just been angered by Su Lanqing, who had come to ask for money. (He didn't expect that the Yutang would actually borrow money from Su Lanqing, and Su Lanqing also came to ask for the debt without any regard for the relationship between the two families.) Now, even a junior like Li Xiao didn't take him seriously. Although the Yutang had only himself to blame for being taken away, he didn't believe that this girl didn't have a hand in it. He had also read some information about Li Xiao. This girl was very strange.
Li Xiao took out the IOU and said, "This is the money that your grandson owes me."
Mr. Ren's expression didn't change. "Yutang is no longer a member of the Ren family."
"Oh," Li Xiao said with a smile. "Then I'll upload the IOU. Maybe one of Ren Xiaotang's good friends will help him pay it back."
Mr. Ren looked at her deeply. "It's good that young people are bold, but be careful not to encounter ghosts at night."
This was a threat. He was definitely threatening her.
Li Xiao sneered. "I'm the best at beating up ghosts."
If one came, she would beat one. If two came, she would beat a pair.
Mr. Ren's mountain-like aura disappeared. He took out a check and wrote 10 million yuan to Li Xiao on the spot.
After Li Xiao took the check, she tore the IOU. She nodded slightly and turned to leave.
As soon as she walked out, she handed the check to Xu Xufeng. "Just in time to invest in the company." She said to Xu Xufeng, who was driving, "When your company becomes bigger in the future, you can run to that old man and give him a toast. Say that the Ren family contributed to this and thank him properly."
Xu Xufeng's eyelids twitched. That old man would definitely be pissed to death.
However, imagining that scene was really quite satisfying. For a moment, Xu Xufeng was full of motivation to work hard!
*****
October 26th.
Li Xiao looked at the gowns that covered the bed. Which one should she wear today? Today was Li Qianfei's coming-of-age ceremony. It could be considered the most important day in her life. Lê Nam Giệu had started preparing for her and Li Qianxing six months ago. Unfortunately, Li Qianxing hadn't been released yet. The trial would start in a few days.
Li Qianfei himself had been reduced from a koi fish to a jinx that everyone wanted to avoid. In addition to the Li Clan's current situation, the rich and powerful people who had originally agreed to come found excuses to decline.
The location of the banquet was changed from the original state guesthouse to home, and only a few friends were invited.
However, Li Xiao felt that after Li Qianfei had done so much, Lê Nam Giệu was still willing to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for her.
In the end, she chose a sky blue dress and changed into it. She asked the makeup artist to do her exquisite makeup. Then, she took a box and headed to the Li Clan's mansion.
In the box, there was a gift that she was going to give to Li Qianfei.
The Qu Lian looked around the romantic courtyard with dissatisfaction and said, "They're really giving her too much face. I don't think they should hold a coming-of-age ceremony for her. There are so many things going on at home, but she still has the time to celebrate. Last year, Li Xiao didn't hold a coming-of-age ceremony either. "
The Qu Lian hated Li Qianfei, his granddaughter, to the extreme. Because she and Ren Xiaotang conspired to scheme against Li Xiao, the news of Chan Ka-yin's arrest was made known to the world, and the company's stock price fell. If it weren't for the fact that Nan Jue and her own shares, they would have been kicked out of the company long ago.
Lê Nam Giệu's face was expressionless. "I've already agreed to it. It's not good to cancel it."
The Qu Lian took a deep breath and said, "I think you should find a time to divorce Jiayin. Otherwise, our family will be burdened by them."
By this time next year, she would have six grandchildren. It was impossible for none of them to have any grandchildren. Chan Ka Yinsheng's twins would lose their value.
Lê Nam Giệu frowned. "If we divorce at this time, our reputation will be even worse. The outside world will say that we're trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful."
His love for Chan Ka-yin had been worn away by these events. The love between the two of them had become a joke. However, he couldn't divorce yet. If he abandoned Chan Ka-yin at this time, the outside world would say something terrible.
He knew that he was deceiving himself, but he could only bite the bullet and continue.
The Qu Lian looked at his phone. His originally wrinkled face smiled like a chrysanthemum. "They're almost here. It's time for Chien Fei to meet them. After all, we'll be a family in the future. "
Not far away, Li Qianfei, who was wearing a light pink dress, looked at her grandmother and father with a gloomy expression. Both of them had a straight face. There was no joy in it at all.
Today's coming-of-age ceremony was completely different from what she had imagined. Although there were many balloons and flowers, and the decorations were quite romantic, the total cost was less than 500,000 yuan. It was extremely shabby. It was a world of difference from the initial ten million yuan.
She comforted herself. At least her coming-of-age ceremony was held. Unlike Li Xiao, who didn't even have a coming-of-age ceremony.
Li Qianfei didn't know who her father had invited today. Because her father had made the list, she didn't know.
She walked to the door and prepared to receive them personally. She was different from before. She didn't have the capital to be willful.
However, she waited for a long time, but no one came.
Li Qianfei frowned. Were there very few people invited today?
After a few minutes, she finally saw people. The first person to come was a plump woman. She was wearing flat shoes and a loose skirt. Next to her, there was a middle-aged woman supporting her. Her hand was placed on her belly, as if she was very careful about it.
Li Qianfei had never seen this woman before, but she still smiled and said warmly, "Thank you for taking the time to attend my coming-of-age ceremony tonight."
She guessed that this woman must be the wife of a rich businessman, but her temperament was a bit vulgar.
The woman was stunned and her eyes moved. "You must be Chien Fei. Nice to meet you. I'm your Aunt Zheng." She lowered her head and said to the child in her belly, "Guobao, say hello to your sister."
Li Qianfei was stunned for a moment, but then she heard her grandmother's voice.
"What are you saying hello to her for? Don't let my good grandson be infected by her bad luck. Come in and sit inside. Don't stand at the door. "
Li Qianfei seemed to have been struck by lightning. Suddenly, all the sounds were far away from her.
