"Why should I go in?"
Jiang Yi looked at Xiao Jianren. "You just said I couldn't take a single step into the Xiao family's old residence. Since that's the case, I don't have to go in!"
"You..."
Xiao Jianren was so angry he couldn't speak!
"I don't want to waste any more words with you. Goodbye!"
Jiang Yi turned and left after speaking.
This time, Xiao Jianren was completely anxious. He quickly spoke to Jiang Yi, "I was just joking. What do you want?"
"Beg me!" Jiang Yi chuckled.
"Fine, I'll beg you. Please, go in!" Xiao Jianren suppressed the anger in his heart.
"You have no sincerity!"
Jiang Yi looked at Xiao Jianren and said, "Since you're asking me, you need to show some sincerity. If you don't, from now on, I won't set foot in the Xiao family's old residence again."
Xiao Jianren felt like crying but had no tears.
He never imagined things would turn out this way.
He knew Jiang Yi wouldn't let this go.
"Jiang Yi, don't push your luck!"
Xiao Jianren couldn't hold back and said to Jiang Yi, "You're not a good person at all. Don't think I don't know what you're up to."
"Slap!"
Jiang Yi raised his hand and slapped Xiao Jianren directly.
"You dare hit me?"
Xiao Jianren was completely enraged.
"So what if I hit you? If you're not happy, hit me back! Though I doubt you have the ability," Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
Xiao Jianren's face was filled with endless killing intent.
Xiao Jianren could only endure this slap because with his meager abilities, he was no match for Jiang Yi.
Suddenly, Xiao Cuiying, Father Ye, and some other Xiao family members walked out of the courtyard.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Cuiying frowned and asked Xiao Jianren.
"Jiang Yi is a complete scoundrel!"
Xiao Jianren cursed, "He just insulted me. When I said a couple of words to him, he attacked me. He's too arrogant and doesn't take our Xiao family seriously at all!"
Hearing this, Xiao Cuiying's gaze shifted to Jiang Yi.
"Jiang Yi, this is the Xiao family. Xiao Jianren didn't provoke you. Why would you do something like this?" Xiao Cuiying was very angry.
"Hmph!"
Jiang Yi snorted. "Isn't it obvious that Xiao Jianren was talking nonsense? Didn't you hear it?"
Xiao Cuiying also felt something was amiss.
"Explain what just happened in detail. If you dare to get a single word wrong, I won't let you off!" Xiao Cuiying stared at Xiao Jianren.
Xiao Jianren's face showed helplessness.
If Xiao Jianren told the whole story, Xiao Cuiying wouldn't let him off. If he didn't, Xiao Cuiying still wouldn't let him off.
Xiao Jianren didn't know what to do!
"Hurry up and speak!" Xiao Cuiying said angrily.
Xiao Jianren stammered, unable to utter a single word.
"Let me say it!"
A voice sounded from behind.
It was Father Ye!
"I've been standing not far away. I saw everything that just happened!" Father Ye said.
Father Ye had intended to intervene earlier, but seeing that Jiang Yi was upset, he stayed at a distance.
"What exactly happened?" Xiao Cuiying asked.
"This matter was initiated by Xiao Jianren!"
Father Ye said.
"Jiang Yi was about to enter the courtyard, but Xiao Jianren blocked him. Xiao Jianren wanted to humiliate Jiang Yi, so Jiang Yi cursed him. Xiao Jianren couldn't take it, so he tried to humiliate Jiang Yi again, and Jiang Yi slapped him."
"Everything I've said is the truth. If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage. There are several cameras at the main gate!"
Everyone heard this, and their brows furrowed.
Xiao Jianren had nothing to say.
Xiao Cuiying was so angry that she directly slapped Xiao Jianren.
She had put in a lot of effort to invite Jiang Yi, and yet Xiao Jianren blocked him at the door.
"Apologize to Jiang Yi!" Xiao Cuiying told Xiao Jianren.
"Why should I! Jiang Yi hit me, and now he wants me to apologize to him?" Xiao Jianren was unconvinced.
"You are a complete idiot!"
Xiao Cuiying couldn't stand it anymore.
She hadn't expected Xiao Jianren to be such a foolish person.
Now that the Xiao family needed Jiang Yi's help, Xiao Jianren deliberately caused trouble for Jiang Yi. Wasn't this courting death?
"I'm giving you one last chance. Apologize to Jiang Yi!" Xiao Cuiying said in a deep voice.
Seeing that Xiao Cuiying was serious, Xiao Jianren quickly said to Jiang Yi, "I'm sorry..."
Jiang Yi ignored Xiao Jianren.
Seeing this, Xiao Cuiying quickly said to Jiang Yi, "Jiang Yi, as you can see, Xiao Jianren is just an idiot. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done such a ridiculous thing."
Xiao Cuiying's attitude was very sincere.
This was completely different from the Xiao Cuiying of the past.
"Alright, I won't pursue this matter this time. If there's a next time, I definitely won't let it go so easily!" Jiang Yi said calmly.
It was useless to dwell on this matter.
The goal of dealing with Xiao Jianren had been achieved.
Besides, he was in a hurry to treat Ye Yanran's illness and didn't have the time to bother with Xiao Jianren.
Xiao Cuiying was relieved that Jiang Yi didn't continue to pursue the matter.
"Xiao Jianren, you have disappointed me too much!"
Xiao Cuiying's sharp gaze fell on Xiao Jianren.
"From now on, you are no longer a member of our Xiao family. Get out and don't come back!"
"Aunt, I'm your nephew!"
Xiao Jianren quickly begged for mercy.
"Even if you are my nephew, it's no use. Our Xiao family doesn't support fools!" Xiao Cuiying said coldly.
Xiao Jianren's face was filled with despair.
Beside him, Xiao Wenbin showed a gloating smile and said to Xiao Jianren, "Xiao Jianren, Aunt is right. You are indeed foolish. Our Xiao family needs Jiang Yi's help, and you blocked Jiang Yi at the main gate. I've never seen anyone as stupid as you."
"Xiao Wenbin, don't be so smug. Sooner or later, I will get revenge." Xiao Jianren said angrily.
"Revenge? How ridiculous, what will you use to get revenge?"
Xiao Wenbin smiled and said to Xiao Jianren, "Aunt has already expelled you from the Xiao family. From now on, you are nothing. What will you use for revenge? You have no company, no job, nothing. You'll only be able to beg on the streets. But don't worry, you won't starve to death."
After saying that, Xiao Wenbin burst into laughter.
"Aunt, are you really going to expel me from the Xiao family?" Xiao Jianren panicked.
Earlier, Xiao Jianren thought Xiao Cuiying was just putting on a show.
He didn't expect Xiao Cuiying to be serious.
Once expelled from the Xiao family, Xiao Jianren would be completely finished!
Xiao Wenbin was right. If he lost the monthly allowance provided by the Xiao family as living expenses, he would have to beg on the streets.
"Keeping you in the Xiao family is useless; it will only ruin our Xiao family's important matters!" Xiao Cuiying's attitude was resolute.
This time, Xiao Jianren was utterly desperate!
