Every single word that Li Xinnian said was not a threat. With her current status, there was no need for her to threaten others.
If she said she would kill you, then she would kill you. If she said she wanted you to disappear, then you would never be able to show your face again.
Just as she said, if she was really vicious, would Li Junling and her father, Li Boyong, still have the chance to stand in the Qin family's hall today? Would they still have the chance to be judged by the Qin family, be it punishment or forgiveness? Would they still have the chance?
With just a word of command, or even a reminder with a glance, the father and daughter would encounter a serious car accident or some other accident. In any case, their lives would end here, and they would never have the chance to appear in front of the public again.
Or perhaps the Qin family did not need to do anything. There were countless people outside who wanted to please them. Some smart people who didn't mind doing the dirty work would do it cleanly. If it wasn't for a casual greeting at a private gathering, you wouldn't even know who sent the father and daughter away.
This was the power of money, the power of power.
When anything reached an extreme, the energy that it could erupt with would be astonishing and shocking.
Some people were overly arrogant, while others could control this power very well.
Slap —
Li Boyong slapped his daughter again. Li Junling, who was unprepared, was knocked to the ground by his father.
Li Boyong looked down at Li Junling and shouted angrily, "Kneel and apologize to the madam —"
"Kneel and apologize?" Li Junling covered her face and sneered. "What did I do wrong? Do I need to apologize to them? I just fell in love with a man — what's wrong with that? What does this have to do with them? "
"You are Qin Qiang's fiancee —"
"I am not Qin Qiang's fiancee, you are —" Li Junling looked at her father and laughed, saying, "You are Qin Qiang's fiancee. I have never liked him, and I have never wanted to marry him. You think about it day and night. You think about it day and night. You think about it day and night. You think about it day and night. You think about it day and night. You think about it day and night. You think about it day and night. You think about it day and night. You think about it day and night. You think about it day and night. You think about it day and night. You think about it day and night.
"You-" Li Boyong pointed at his daughter with a trembling finger, unable to say a complete sentence.
Li Junling got up from the ground and tidied up his clothes. He looked at Li Xinnian stubbornly and said, "I'm not even afraid of death. How can I apologize to you people? Yes, perhaps this kind of thing has long been a common occurrence for you — the weak apologizing to the strong, regardless of whether the strong is standing on the side of reason. But today, I'm going to disappoint you — "
"What does your apology mean to me?" Li Xinnian looked at Li Junling and asked, "Or, what does it mean to the Qin Family?"
"—"
"I don't care, and the Qin Family doesn't care —" Li Xinnian said lightly, "If you were just an ordinary woman, or if you were still the goddess of piano you are now, you would have nothing to do with the Qin Family. Even if you had an affair or died for love, the Qin Family wouldn't even look at you. However, you're engaged to a man from the Qin Family. One of your feet has already stepped into the Qin Family's door. Whether it was intentional or not, at the engagement ceremony, you nodded and agreed. After the engagement ceremony, you did such a thing, which indeed made the Qin Family lose face. For the time being, you have to bear the criticism of some boring people. "
"But that's all there is to it. Even if something like this happened, the Qin Family is still the Qin Family. When others talk about it, the Qin Family's reputation will be hurt. When you are forgotten by others, when Qin Qiang has a new fiancée — can people still remember who you are? But, after this kind of thing, girl — are you still you? "
Li Xinnian looked at Li Junling sympathetically and said, "As a woman, I can understand how you feel. But, your choice — is really too stupid. Until now, you still don't know what will happen to you after this matter is exposed — you also don't understand how lucky you are to be able to stand in the hall of the Qin Family right now. "
Li Boyong's forehead was dripping with sweat, but he didn't bother to wipe it off. He kept bowing and apologizing, saying, "Madam, please don't lower yourself to her level. She is just a child who doesn't know how to appreciate favors. If you want to scold her, just direct it at me. I am her father, and I should bear the responsibility for her —"
Li Xinnian sneered and said, "Alright, alright, Li Boyong, you father and daughter don't put on this sad drama in front of me. I have no interest in watching a drama."
"Yes, yes, yes —" Li Boyong nodded repeatedly and said, "We are not acting. We are not acting — we are here to apologize. We are wrong, very wrong — no matter if we are beaten or scolded, even if Madam asks me to jump into the valley, I will not frown — "
Li Xinnian raised his head and looked at Li Boyong, saying, "You are a good father, but you spoil your daughter too much — go back."
"Madam?" Li Boyong looked at Li Xinnian with a frightened expression. He knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, saying, "Madam, I beg you, please let us go this time — I am willing to atone for this matter, I am willing to die for Qin Qiang — for young master Qin. I only ask that you let go of Jun Ling, let go of the Li Family — "
Li Junling's face was as white as paper. His father's reaction had already explained everything.
The Qin Family wanted to kill them to avenge their humiliation? These rich and powerful nobles — their hearts were really vicious.
"Did you misunderstand something?" Li Xinnian's eyebrows twitched. He glanced at Li Boyong with some dissatisfaction and said, "Tears can be exchanged for forgiveness, but it can also be exchanged for double the hatred of others — don't worry, the Qin Family will not retaliate against you. From now on, the two families will no longer have any relationship. Do you understand what I mean? "
"I understand." Li Boyong nodded repeatedly. The two families would no longer have any relationship. This meant that Li Xinnian had publicly annulled the marriage between Qin Qiang and his daughter. His daughter had done such a thing, this was the proper response from the Qin Family. In addition, the majority of the Li Family's businesses were connected to the Qin Family. If the Qin Family severed ties with the Li Family, those businesses would most likely be lost — not only that, but they would also be attacked by those who heard the news. At that time, without the support of the Qin Family, how could the Li Family retaliate? They could only watch as the Li Family's businesses were divided by those vicious wolves.
"Unless the Jiang Family is willing to protect them —" Li Boyong thought in a corner of his heart.
Li Xinnian waved his hand and said, "Let's go back."
Li Boyong crawled up from the ground and bowed to Li Xinnian, to the silent Old Master Qin, and to everyone in the Qin Family. Then, he pulled Li Junling's hand and walked outside.
"We're letting them go just like that? That woman did such a thing — "
"That's right, let's get someone to break her legs. Let's see how she can steal men in the future —"
"She didn't hit or scold them. She didn't even scold them — will outsiders laugh at the Qin Family for being weak and easy to bully?"
No matter what, Li Xinnian was the current head of the Qin Family. When she was handling family matters, outsiders were not allowed to interrupt or criticize her. Especially when outsiders were present, the Qin Family had to give the impression that they were united and harmonious. However, after outsiders left, they had the right to speak freely and express their dissatisfaction.
Of course, Li Xinnian also had the right to ignore them.
Li Xinnian looked at Old Master Qin, who was leisurely drinking tea, and said with a smile, "This tea was plucked from the few tea trees behind Yitian's courtyard. Because Yitian watched them grow up, she treasured them very much. When she plucked the tea leaves, she didn't allow anyone to help her. She plucked the leaves by herself, and each leaf felt like she was cutting off a piece of flesh from her body — after several days of hard work, she only got two taels of tea leaves after frying them. She was usually very stingy and didn't usually let people drink. Only when I went to visit her would she ask someone to bring me a cup of tea. She's very close to grandpa, so she probably gave you more than half of the two taels of tea leaves, right? "
Old Master Qin laughed loudly and said proudly, "That granddaughter of mine, Yitian, is very proud. Ordinary people can't even drink a cup of tea from her, not to mention the tea leaves she plucked herself — but Yitian is very close to me, so after she finished frying her tea leaves, she secretly gave me a small pot. She even told me not to let you find out — how did you see through it at a glance? "
Li Xinnian put down the coffee cup in his hand and said bitterly, "The tea in your hands are all rare and good. How can you find tea leaves with such big leaves after brewing?"
After receiving this flattery, Old Master Qin felt refreshed and his smile became even more radiant. He said, "If you like it, I can also give you some. However, I'll tell you something private. You can't let that girl Yi Tian know about it. Otherwise, I won't be able to drink her treasured tea leaves anymore. The tea leaves she gave me really don't taste that good — it's far worse than the tea leaves I collected. But since my granddaughter has already given me the tea leaves, if I don't drink it, she'll feel hurt — that's why I brewed a cup of tea every now and then, thinking that I can finish it as soon as possible — "
"—" The Qin family members in the living room looked at each other.
They were seriously questioning whether this was a good way to handle things. Why did you ignore us and talk about Qin Yitian's tea leaves?
Qin Qiang pushed open the living room door, walked in, and knelt down in front of Li Xinnian.
"I want revenge," Qin Qiang said in a hoarse voice.
