Li family!
This was something the Xu family members hadn't expected, and they instinctively thought the Li family wanted to oppose them.
"Li Se? What is this guy, that kid who humiliated the Ye family?" Xu Yingfeng said with a grim face. "A bastard son dares to lay hands on my daughter? The Li family wanted an alliance with us before, are they completely breaking ties now?"
"Patriarch, that Li Se has a marriage contract with Miss," Elder Xu said.
"Damn it!" Xu Yingfeng was even more furious. "Cancel the engagement, and then come to humiliate my daughter? What does he mean by this? Elder Xu, I heard this kid is a martial artist, and you are no match for him?"
"No," Elder Xu shook his head. "Third Master appeared."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yingfeng fell silent. Even he had to be wary of Li Shengjun, as this man had made considerable contributions to China. Even a martial arts family like his couldn't casually cross him, as the consequences would be unimaginable.
But no matter what, humiliating his daughter meant he had to pay a price!
"This is too much! Make the Li family give us, the Xu family, an explanation, otherwise, we will not rest!" Xu Yingfeng roared.
He was truly enraged. How could he not be angry when his daughter was humiliated like this? No matter what Li Se had done, he couldn't go too far. He needed an explanation and wanted the Li family to pay the price!
This matter also reached the Li family.
Li Shengguo almost spat blood. What was going on? Was Li Se this bold to directly humiliate Xu Xiaoyu, even stripping her clothes? This was simply rebellious.
Li Tian was also speechless: "Although Xu Xiaoyu is a beauty, I remember Li Se has quite a few girlfriends. Why would he do such a sordid thing?"
In fact, at their level, they were not short of beauties. Even if they encountered one, it wouldn't be a big deal. With Li Tian's status, what kind of beauty couldn't he have? Even a big star was not a problem. The key was that although Li Se had not yet entered the Li family, he was not short of beauties around him. Why would he do such a thing?
Could it be some perverted psychological need?
"What is the Xu family's stance now?" Li Zhongfu asked.
Li Shengguo replied: "The Xu family wants an explanation from us."
An explanation?
How to give an explanation? This thing had no definition. Compensation was an explanation, and handing over Li Se was also an explanation. Since the Xu family hadn't specified what kind of explanation they wanted, it was difficult for them to act.
"Dad, should we ask Li Se to come over?" Li Shengguo inquired.
Li Zhongfu hesitated for a moment before nodding. After all, this was a very serious matter. The Xu family was a martial arts family, and those in power, like them, had to be somewhat cautious.
Otherwise, how could the Li family have sought an alliance with the Xu family? Although the engagement was ultimately not achieved, even if they couldn't form an alliance, they wouldn't want to become enemies.
"No need!"
But at this moment, Li Shengjun walked in.
"Shengjun, this Li Se is too much! He humiliated the Xu family's eldest daughter!" Li Shengguo said angrily.
Li Shengjun said indifferently: "I know my son. He is not someone who would humiliate Xu Xiaoyu without reason. I've investigated, and it was Xu Xiaoyu who, seeking revenge for my son's broken engagement, secretly attacked his woman. It was fortunate she wasn't killed, so letting her off lightly is the least that can be said."
Upon hearing this, the Li family members fell silent.
Li Shengguo said: "But no matter what, Xu Xiaoyu's status is there, we can't..."
"Third brother, if someone attacked Big Sister-in-law, would you also tolerate it?" Li Shengjun asked coldly.
Li Shengguo was immediately choked, speechless for a moment.
"Third Uncle, but regardless, we must handle this matter. Xu Xiaoyu's status is there, and you know the power of the Xu family. They are a martial arts family, and the strength of this family..." Li Tian couldn't help but say.
Li Shengjun, however, interrupted him bluntly: "Is it your turn to speak here?"
Li Tian was extremely frustrated by the scolding, his face turning grim, but he dared not retort. Even though he seemed to be showing off in front of Li Se, in front of Li Shengjun, he was so timid he didn't dare to fart.
"Tian'er cannot speak, so who do you think can speak?"
A cold voice came from behind. It was the Li family's Old Matriarch who emerged.
This Old Matriarch had always stayed in the backyard, but no one expected her to appear today, which surprised all the Li family members.
What kind of day was it today that even the Old Matriarch came out? This was somewhat unbelievable.
Beside the Old Matriarch was another person, none other than Li Shengmin.
"Tian'er is the future successor of the Li family, why doesn't he have the right to speak?" the Old Matriarch said coldly.
Li Shengjun frowned. What did this Old Matriarch's appearance mean? She hadn't appeared for a long time, yet she appeared today, which also made him a bit confused. However, thinking of what this Old Matriarch had done, he had only one thought: disgust.
Li Shengjun had never liked the atmosphere of the Li family, so he directly went abroad to join the army. If it weren't for his son's matter, he would have left the capital long ago, and wouldn't want to stay here for another moment.
"You haven't returned for a long time, and as soon as you come back, you want to make such a fuss. What, are you trying to rebel?" the Old Matriarch asked coldly.
"Enough!"
Li Zhongfu reprimanded, "You too. You haven't come out for a long time. Today you come out, do you want to manage the Li family's affairs?"
The Old Matriarch snorted, "I am a member of the Li family, why can't I manage? I am just asking him a question. Tian'er is the future successor of the Li family. What, in this Li family, does he not even have the right to speak?"
"Third brother, you are truly something. You can't lose your composure just because of your son's matter. You were never like this before."
Li Shengmin said something, then looked at the Old Matriarch and said, "Mom, Third brother was just impulsive. After all, this is related to Li Se's matter, and it's understandable."
Li Shengjun was too lazy to say more, even too lazy to argue.
The Old Matriarch snorted, then walked towards Li Zhongfu and sat down beside him. She said indifferently, "Undeniably, Li Se is very talented, becoming an imperial physician at such a young age. But if I remember correctly, old man, it was you who recommended him in the first place?"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Li family members changed slightly.
Not many people knew about this matter. Only Li Zhongfu and Li Shengguo knew, and today the Old Matriarch also knew about it.
Because if Li Zhongfu recommended him, it would mean Li Se had still used a back door!
