Chapter 85 Worse Than Beasts
Chen Xuan's head buzzed.
At the Li family, the only person who had been good to Chen Xuan was Old Master Li. Old Master Li had always treated him like his own grandson. He never expected that after just a few days apart, Old Master Li would be seriously ill.
"What happened?" Chen Xuan pressed.
"I've been interning out of town recently, so I don't know what's going on. My grandfather suddenly called me, saying he didn't have much time left and hoped to see me one last time," Li Xin said, shaking her head, tears streaming down her face. kanshu wu.ξà
Her grandfather had doted on her, and Li Xin had also been very good to him, which was why her grandfather had called her.
"Alright, I'll make time to visit the Li family to see Grandpa."
Chen Xuan continued.
"You'd better hurry, I'm afraid Grandpa..."
Li Xin trailed off, as if choked, unable to finish her sentence.
Chen Xuan vowed, "Don't worry, with me here, Grandpa won't die!"
Chen Xuan hung up the phone, his heart heavy with worry for Old Master Li's condition. But now he didn't know who to ask, and he was extremely anxious.
Just then, several figures surrounded a rich second-generation man dressed in casual wear as they entered the shop.
The rich second-generation man said nonchalantly, "Esteemed uncles and aunts of the Li family, all the suits here are top-grade. Each one costs several thousand. Feel free to look around. Take whatever catches your eye; I'll pay!"
The accompanying Li family members' eyes lit up, but they said,
"Oh, Young Master Liu, how can we impose on you like this? We can't possibly spend your money."
"We still have clothes to wear; it would be too embarrassing."
The rich second-generation man scanned the crowd, finally resting his gaze on Li Jiajia beside him, "Everyone here is Jiajia's relative, so they are my cousin Liu Qing's relatives too. When Jiajia and I are finally united, won't we all be family?"
A chorus of flattery immediately erupted:
"Young Master Liu is a man of exceptional talent, truly a perfect match for our Jiajia."
"A talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect union! Jiajia, you must entertain Young Master Liu properly later."
Amidst the praise, Li Jiajia was not particularly happy.
Xu Shijie's disappearance had been a significant blow to her.
After Xu Shijie disappeared, the Li family, in their efforts to curry favor with this Young Master Liu Qing of the Liu family, had tried every way to push her towards Liu Qing. And indeed, Liu Qing had taken a liking to Li Jiajia.
She had no choice but to accept her fate. Besides, Liu Qing was not bad; he was powerful and influential. kanδん
"Young Master Liu, since we are family, we won't stand on ceremony," someone said.
"Haha, uncles and aunts, no need to be polite with me," Young Master Liu chuckled.
The Li family members had been waiting impatiently. Upon hearing this, a group of them rushed out, and instantly, the entire shop became as bustling as a market fair.
The shop assistants looked at the Li family members, who were acting like country bumpkins, with disdain in their eyes.
Chen Xuan heard the commotion and looked up, immediately seeing the Li family members and Li Jiajia shopping.
He hesitated for a moment and then stepped forward.
Li Jiajia also saw Chen Xuan. She was taken aback at first, then coldly asked, "Chen Xuan, what are you doing here?"
Chen Xuan replied expressionlessly, "Li Jiajia, I want to ask you something."
Li Jiajia felt a flicker of suspicion. What did Chen Xuan want to ask her?
Soon, Li Jiajia remembered an incident that had shaken the entire Jiangzhou: Chen Xuan had offended the eldest young master of the Yu family and their second-in-command, even breaking their legs.
She assumed that Miss Su had considered Chen Xuan a troublemaker, kicked him out, and now that Chen Xuan was homeless, he had come to her.
With this thought, Li Jiajia felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
"Jiajia, who is this?" Liu Qing asked Chen Xuan in a low voice, scrutinizing him.
Li Jiajia crossed her arms, a smug expression on her face, and couldn't help but say with a smirk, "Him? His name is Chen Xuan. He's my former fiancé, just a lowly security guard. After I dumped him, he latched onto a rich woman. Relying on her protection, he went around causing trouble. Now that he's offended a big shot and been kicked out by the rich woman, look at how pathetic he looks. He's here to ask me to get back together with him."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qing smiled knowingly at Chen Xuan and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, brother, your skill at freeloading is truly unparalleled in my life. However, Jiajia is the woman I, Liu Qing, have set my sights on. You'd better scram, or don't blame me for being impolite."
"Li Jiajia, you're mistaken. I came today to ask about something," Chen Xuan said coldly to Li Jiajia, ignoring Liu Qing.
Liu Qing's smile faltered at Chen Xuan's disregard, and a hint of ferocity appeared on his face, "Damn it, kid, didn't you hear me? Are you looking for a beating?!"
Seeing Chen Xuan remain unmoved, Liu Qing raised his fist and swung it at Chen Xuan.
Crack!
Liu Qing's vision went dark. His fist was caught directly by Chen Xuan. As he tried to break free, Chen Xuan directly grabbed his neck, lifting his legs off the ground.
"You..."
Liu Qing prepared to utter a threat, but then he met Chen Xuan's eyes, which were filled with ferocity—eyes that could kill!
Seeing their sugar daddy being choked by Chen Xuan, the surrounding Li family members immediately rushed over, surrounding Chen Xuan and reprimanding him as elders.
"Chen Xuan, you good-for-nothing, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill someone?"
Li Jiajia's mother said, "Do you know who he is? If you touch even a single hair on his head, you're finished!"
Li Jiajia's father commanded, "Chen Xuan, I order you to stop and apologize to Young Master Liu!"
Chen Xuan's expression grew even colder.
Liu Qing looked into Chen Xuan's increasingly icy eyes and cursed the Li family internally. *You're trying to get me killed, aren't you?*
"Get lost, I don't want to see you!"
Chen Xuan flung Liu Qing to the ground.
Liu Qing felt as if he had escaped from the gates of hell. Sweat poured down his forehead. He rubbed his still aching neck and said to Chen Xuan, "You wait. Don't let me catch you again, and I'll make you pay!"
Chen Xuan shot Liu Qing a cold glare.
Liu Qing trembled all over, too scared to speak. He quickly shut his mouth, scrambled to his feet, turned, and ran.
Liu Qing was the sugar daddy the Li family was trying to curry favor with. The Li family didn't have much wealth and couldn't afford to shop here. Now that their sugar daddy, Liu Qing, had fled, how would they pay for the expensive suits they had chosen?
A group of Li family members began to verbally abuse Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan said coldly, "What happened to Grandpa? Is he sick?"
The Li family members were stunned by this remark.
Li Jiajia's mother snorted, "This is a Li family matter. Does it concern an outsider like you?"
"Who do you think you are? What relationship do you have with the Old Master?"
"I want to go see Grandpa," Chen Xuan said.
As soon as he said this, the Li family members' eyes flashed with undisguised hostility and wariness. Subsequently, the Li family members flatly refused Chen Xuan's request to see Old Master Li.
Chen Xuan frowned. Why were they so vigilant whenever he mentioned visiting Old Master Li?
Chen Xuan tried calling Hei Hu: "Help me investigate the situation of Old Master Li of the Li family."
To his surprise, Hei Hu quickly sent a message back: "Old Master Li is seriously ill. Because of the high expenses, no one is willing to pay for his treatment. Now Old Master Li's condition has worsened. It is said that Old Master Li has already written his will, and in it, he has left you a portion of his assets. Although it's not much, it should be about one million."
Chen Xuan's face turned cold!
So, these people were afraid he would come to seize family assets.
However, the Li family were truly beasts, refusing to let Old Master Li get treatment for the sake of money!
