Li Xiao was really satisfied with these houses, very satisfied. She couldn't wait to urge her mother to quickly sign the contract. They had also found a professional lawyer to look at the contract, and there were no problems. After all, the De Mare family wanted to use this matter to rebuild their reputation. Naturally, they wouldn't leave any obvious loopholes.
In the end, many of these houses were offset by 18 billion yuan. The remaining part was shares, and the rest was cash. Xu Manqin was already prepared to use the money to reopen her company. After this incident, she could be considered to have a bit of a reputation in this circle.
When the two families were signing the contract, the De Mare family also invited many reporters to film the entire process. On the surface, it was enough to show their attitude.
Li Xiao even saw the reporters from the domestic news broadcast. She was a little embarrassed. Her mother's wave of wave was equivalent to free advertising!
After the contract was signed and she got what she needed, Li Xiao took the key and went to the East District in high spirits.
Xu Manqin only had her as a daughter. From the beginning, she directly asked the De Mare family to transfer the house to Li Xiao's name.
Li Xiao felt that if her mother continued to spoil her like this, she would sooner or later become the youngest tycoon on the domestic rich list. She was a little excited just thinking about it.
Because she had been brought by Allen once before, she knew very well which house had the most powerful resentful spirit.
She directly chose the 19th house. When she arrived, it was already dark, which was also when the resentful spirit's power was strong. Before she even entered the house, she felt a surge of resentment that soared to the sky.
Li Xiao had an impression of this resentful spirit. It was a girl who looked to be about eight years old. She had soft golden hair and emerald eyes. When she smiled, it was sweet to the bottom of one's heart.
The stronger a person's hatred before death, the stronger their magic power after death.
She pushed open the door and saw the cute loli wearing a princess dress. She was barefoot and kicking a ball. No, how was this a ball? It was clearly a skull! She hummed a little tune as she kicked.
When she heard the movement, she raised her head and looked at Li Xiao with her green eyes. They curved into a crescent moon, looking innocent and naive.
"Sister, do you want to play football together?"
A trace of blood flashed across her eyes.
The scenery around Li Xiao suddenly changed.
She blinked and found herself in a farm. As far as the eye could see, there was a wide grassland. Cheerful laughter could be heard from afar. She took a closer look and saw that the little girl was playing football. Although she was alone, she was having a lot of fun. She was not playing with a skull, but a real football. Li Xiao understood that what she saw was only a part of the past.
The little girl's name was An Qi. She was lively and cheerful, which suited her name very well. She accidentally kicked the ball too far away. The ball flew in front of a pair of leather shoes that looked very tasteful. Li Xiao's gaze moved up the shoes and saw a middle-aged man. His facial features were somewhat similar to Harry's, whom she had often dealt with in the past few days. Li Xiao immediately understood. This should be Harry's relative? Or were they ancestors?
The man looked at the little girl, An Qi, with hidden desire in his eyes. However, he had a graceful smile on his face as he chatted with the little girl. The naive little girl did not know that the human heart was sinister. Her parents had protected her too well.
The man pretended to be lost, and the kind-hearted little girl led the way for him. In the end, he walked step by step to his death. Before he died, he was treated inhumanely.
After she died, she became a vengeful spirit. She killed the man and kept his head. She also found other people who suffered the same fate as her. Those children were sent to an island and lived a life that was neither human nor ghost. Some children who became ghosts were actively absorbed by her and turned into her power. They pinned the chance of revenge on her. However, she failed to live up to the trust of the other ghosts. She failed.
The man's relatives found a powerful mage and trapped her in this house. They could not destroy her. They could only trap her here, day after day, year after year.
"Why? Why me? Am I not obedient? "
Li Xiao heard the accusation with tears of blood. The scene in front of her changed. She returned to the original house.
She reached out to touch the other's head, but she subconsciously avoided it.
Li Xiao squatted down and looked at her at the same level.
"It's not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong. It's their fault."
"I'll give you freedom. I'll give you a chance for revenge."
She said this. At the same time, a jade-like stick appeared in her hand. The stick fell on a point in the middle of the house. There seemed to be a ripple in the air that silently spread out.
The originally unbreakable array of the house collapsed in an instant, turning into light spots.
An Qi only felt that the force that was originally binding her disappeared into thin air. She looked at Li Xiao in a daze.
Li Xiao took out a talisman and pasted it on her body. "The members of the Di Mari family will wear some blessed crosses. This talisman can make you immune to the damage caused by those crosses."
She thought for a moment and took out a few more talismans to give her full protection. Although drawing talismans also required materials and money, as a pay-to-win player, she had nothing to fear!
An Qi smiled. Blood flowed from her eyes.
"I want balls. Lots and lots of balls."
"You'll have all of them." She put her hand on her head. This time, An Qi did not avoid it.
While Li Xiao was busy freeing the evil spirit, a big change happened in the Li Clan.
****
Lê Nam Giệu had just gone through a five-hour meeting. He was exhausted.
In the past six months, the company had encountered many accidents. The market price had shrunk from a year ago to half. He thought that after Chien Fei left, the company would slowly recover. Who knew that this month, the higher-ups would directly send people to check the company's accounts. They even found some of the accounts that had been destroyed long ago. Lê Thị Corporation was found to have evaded taxes and was severely fined a lot of money. The land that he had worked hard to bid for was also lost because of this.
This sudden storm caused the company to be on the verge of collapse. He was too tired to deal with it. At this time, his cousin Li Dongcheng directly attacked him. He joined forces with the other shareholders and asked him to give up his position. Lê Nam Giệu's shares, including his mother's Qu Lian's, were more than 40%. However, in order to raise funds, he had no choice but to release some of his shares, so it was reduced to 32%. His cousin, on the other hand, used some unknown method to buy the shares from the other shareholders. He even got the 10% shares from the Ren Family. In the end, he suppressed his side with a 1% advantage.
What made him feel even more miserable was that the major shareholders who used to follow him had forgotten the benefits that he had brought them in the past. One by one, they followed behind Li Dongcheng. After this meeting, Lê Thị changed hands. Lê Nam Giệu was no longer at the helm of Lê Thị Corporation.
"Cousin." Li Dongcheng, who had just received congratulations from the other shareholders, came out of the meeting room to greet his cousin. However, the smile on his face was fake.
Even if Lê Nam Giệu was usually elegant, it was difficult for him to congratulate Li Dongcheng after his power was seized.
Li Dongcheng narrowed his eyes and put on a fake smile. "Next, I will carry out some reforms to bring Lê Thị back to life. Although you have worked hard for so many years, and even if you didn't make any contributions, I still feel uncomfortable when I think about how the family business has shrunk so much in your hands. "
Lê Nam Giệu's face darkened. Although Li Dongcheng was telling the truth, he didn't think that he was the reason.
"Heh, there are so many companies that evade taxes, but only our family was heavily fined. Even the account books that were destroyed in the past were taken out. I don't know what you and your son were up to. How could such an important thing be stolen?"
"Grandpa always praised you when he was alive. I think you are just a useless man who lives off a woman. Previously, Xu Manqin let you live off a woman, so everything went smoothly for you. In the end, you were stupid. You destroyed your own in-laws and divorced Xu Manqin. Do you really think that you got to your position with your own ability? Not only are you stupid, but you also can't see the situation clearly. "
"Right, the house you are living in now belongs to the Li Clan Head. Since you are no longer the Li Clan Head, hurry up and move out. Since we're all relatives, I'll give you three days' time. You should check the assets that belong to the Li Clan Head. I have a list. If there is one missing, you will have to compensate me. "
The Lê Thị Head was only the CEO of the company. Lê Nam Giệu was kicked out of this position and naturally lost his status. Although this system was a bit cruel, because of this competitiveness, every successor of the Lê Thị Head worked harder.
Back then, Li Dongcheng was only one step away from being made the heir. Naturally, he had been holding back his anger for so many years. Now that he had spent a lot of effort and finally got the company back, of course, he had to beat the dog in the water and taunt Li Nanjue to vent the anger that he had been holding back for so long. When he saw Lê Nam Giệu's ashen face and blue veins popping out on his forehead, he felt refreshed.
He sneered and left under the escort of the others.
Lê Nam Giệu glared at him, his chest heaving up and down. He felt that the people around him were laughing at him and watching him make a scene. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and turned to go home. No matter how uncomfortable it was, he still had to go home and tell his mother about this. If he didn't arrange for the move as soon as possible, he was afraid that Li Dongcheng would throw their things out without hesitation. He might even find a few reporters to take pictures of his down-and-out appearance. Lê Nam Giệu wouldn't let himself fall to this point no matter what. In any case, he and his mother didn't have a lot of shares. If he could buy the rest, he might have a chance to turn the tables and take back the power that belonged to him.
When he returned home, the news was playing on the TV.
When he saw Xu Manqin smiling calmly on the screen, he couldn't help but be stunned. Xu Manqin? How did she appear on TV?
The news said that the De Mare family had made a statement. They had been instigated to misunderstand Xu Manqin and suppressed Xu Manqin. Therefore, they had taken out 30 billion RMB as compensation. On the TV, Xu Manqin was attending a press conference with the head of the De Mare family. She was wearing a tailored formal suit. Her graceful appearance revealed a neat handsomeness. Her speech was also appropriate and gentle. There was a light joy that hadn't been seen in a long time between her eyebrows.
He never thought that he would see his ex-wife again in such a place. She looked so good. There wasn't the slightest bit of gloominess on her face. She was completely different from him.
Qu Lian looked at the TV and couldn't help but click his tongue. "30 billion. She's too lucky. Is the De Mare family stupid? They actually paid so much. If it were me, I wouldn't give a single cent. "
Her tone was full of jealousy. In fact, all of her assets added together didn't amount to that much.
Lê Nam Giệu sighed and told her about Lê Thị's misfortune. Qu Lian was stunned. How did his son get kicked out? These people were too ingrates.
"No, why did they kick you out? You didn't make any contributions all these years, but at least you worked hard. Besides, even if you evaded taxes, it was agreed upon by everyone. Why is it all your fault when something happens? "
Qu Lian was most proud of having a good son. In the end, everything was gone. Part of the assets under their name belonged to the family. She had long regarded them as her own. How could she be willing to return them? What was the difference between that and cutting off her flesh?
No, she couldn't just sit and wait. She had to find someone to help her and her son!
In her panic, her gaze fell on Xu Manqin on the TV. It was as if she was clutching at a life-saving straw. "Why don't you look for Xu Manqin? Ask her for help? "
Lê Nam Giệu didn't have much hope. "We're already divorced."
Qu Lian gritted his teeth and said, "Give her a call and try. She used to like you so much. You can cry and tell her that you're willing to get back together with her. Maybe she'll be happy."
Xu Manqin was so rich now. She had just received a large sum of compensation. If she remarried, she could help Lê Thị stand up again. His son had been so busy recently because he was short of money and had to raise funds everywhere.
Qu Lian always had confidence in his son. How could Xu Manqin not love Nan Jue? She had gone crazy because she loved her too much.
Lê Nam Giệu hesitated. "We don't have her current phone number."
He didn't want to bow down to his ex-wife, but he couldn't think of any other way.
Qu Lian said, "Call Li Xiao. She definitely has it."
She immediately dialed Li Xiao's number. Then, she found that Li Xiao's number was no longer in service. Obviously, she had canceled her original number and changed to a new one.
Qu Lian: "…"
