The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 388 Drawing Fire from Under the Cauldron

Until this moment, Zhou Zhishan realized he was wrong.

Completely wrong, ridiculously wrong.

Originally, their Zhou family had a chance to reach the ranks of the top wealthy families in China.

If Li Ziqing hadn't turned against the Zhou family, then the Zhou family would have had a powerful grandson-in-law like Chen Xiao.

Leaving other places aside, at least in Weicheng, the Zhou family could walk sideways.

It was a pity that a moment of misjudgment had brought the Zhou family to this point, with their own blood-related granddaughter becoming the Zhou family's greatest enemy.

Zhou Zhishan's lips moved, and he finally managed to utter a few words with difficulty: "Ziqing, Grandpa was wrong..."

"You were wrong?"

Li Ziqing sneered, "If my man wasn't strong enough, would you say you were wrong?"

The phrase "my man" made Chen Xiao's heart itch.

Zhou Zhishan's face turned red because the answer was obvious. If Li Ziqing didn't have a man as powerful as Chen Xiao, Zhou Zhishan would have torn her to pieces long ago. Would he have admitted his mistake?

In this world, strength ultimately has the final say.

Affection was certainly a thing, but there was none of it on Zhou Zhishan.

This man was a ruthless animal only interested in profit. Time might give him a kind face, but it wouldn't make his heart kind.

"Ziqing, tell me, what do you want Grandpa to do for you to forgive Grandpa?"

Zhou Zhishan asked shamelessly.

"Forgive you? Sorry, forgiving you is God's business, and what I have to do is send you to see God!"

Li Ziqing's face was indifferent, but her eyes contained monstrous hatred.

She had been looking forward to this day for more than a decade!

Zhou Zhishan's eyes narrowed because he could see that Li Ziqing really intended to kill him!

He finally realized that standing in front of everyone in the Zhou family was no longer the weak and easy-to-bully Li Ziqing, but a viperous Bamboo Leaf Green!

The Zhou family was in a state of panic, but because of Chen Xiao's power, they didn't dare to say a word in favor of the old man.

Only Zhou Yuanyuan was the exception. She shouted angrily, "Ziqing, that's enough. Don't go too far! No matter what, he's still your grandfather, your mother's father. If your mother were still alive today, she would never let you run wild!"

Li Ziqing smiled, "Aunt, it's a pity that my mother didn't live. But then again, if she were still alive, why would I need to seek revenge?"

Li Ziqing's words left Zhou Yuanyuan speechless. She realized that she seemed to have been trapped by Li Ziqing.

Then Li Ziqing said, "Aunt, I really didn't expect that the only one speaking up for this old scoundrel would be you!"

"Have you forgotten how he killed your lover? He personally ruined your life's happiness!"

Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes darted around, and a painful expression appeared on her face, but she bit her lip and said, "One thing is one thing. That's my business, and it has nothing to do with you. Besides, I also made mistakes in that matter. You can't blame all the mistakes on your grandfather!"

Hearing her aunt's words, Li Ziqing didn't know whether to sympathize with or hate this woman.

"Of course you made mistakes. To be honest, hearing you say that today, I really feel sorry for your former lover!"

"Weak people are sometimes more hateful than bad people!"

Zhou Yuanyuan glared at her. She couldn't imagine that one day Li Ziqing would talk to her, her aunt, like that.

"Li Ziqing, how dare you talk to me like that? After your parents died, I was the one who raised you. You can say I'm half a mother to you. Now that you've grown up, you're treating me like this?"

Li Ziqing shook her head helplessly.

"It's ridiculous. According to your logic, because my mother was raised by this old scoundrel, she was killed by this old scoundrel, so I can't take revenge, right?"

"Just because he's the one who gave birth to you and raised you, he can do whatever he wants with your life? Aunt, you're not only ridiculous, but also pathetic!"

"A person who is constantly bullied but doesn't know how to resist is the biggest accomplice!"

Li Ziqing's words left Zhou Yuanyuan completely speechless.

She pointed at Li Ziqing, "You, you, you..."

Desperate diseases require drastic remedies.

The reason why Li Ziqing said such harsh words to her aunt was simply to hope that her aunt could wake up and live her own life.

Then, her gaze fell on Zhou Zhishan again.

"I'll give you two choices. First, you can kill yourself and personally apologize to my parents over there."

"Second, I want you to take your descendants and get out of the Zhou family. I'll take over the Zhou family's property!"

In an instant, Zhou Zhishan was in a dilemma.

Although he was already eighty years old, he hadn't lived enough, and the older he got, the more afraid he was of death.

Especially after seeing Luo Shifu, who had been with him day and night for many years, die in front of him, he was even more afraid of death.

But he was also unwilling to hand over the Zhou family's vast fortune.

That was the foundation he had built over half his life, and he didn't know how many unscrupulous things he had done for these assets.

"Li Ziqing, you're not giving your grandfather a choice at all, are you? You're forcing him to die. I didn't expect you to be so young, but your heart is so vicious!"

Zhou Weiguo, who was on the side, said fiercely.

Li Ziqing smiled, "Uncle, thank you for your praise. I gladly accept the words 'vicious heart'. I will continue to work hard in the future. If you don't believe me, I can let you experience it yourself now, how about it?"

Zhou Weiguo's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't dare to speak. Li Ziqing's methods were so ruthless that even the old man couldn't beat her, let alone him.

At this time, Zhou Wen stood up and said, "Li Ziqing, what kind of skill is it to force an old man like this? If you have the ability, let's meet in the business world. I will win you fairly and squarely!"

"Oh..."

Li Ziqing said indifferently, "Okay, since you said so, then let's meet in the business world. Anyway, I have plenty of time recently, so I'll play with you!"

Hearing this, Zhou Wen was immediately overjoyed. He had tricked this girl with a little trick. It seemed that the Zhou family's property was saved!

However, before he could finish being happy, he heard Li Ziqing say to Zhou Zhishan, "Old scoundrel, it seems that you're not popular in the Zhou family. Your grandson has already made a choice for you. You can die now. Whether you want to hang yourself, take poison, jump off a building, or touch an electric wire, I can satisfy you!"

Zhou Wen was immediately anxious, "When did I say that Grandpa should die? Li Ziqing, don't talk nonsense!"

"Hehe, you said it yourself, you want to meet me in the business world, so doesn't that mean you want the old man to die!"

Li Ziqing shrugged and said with a playful expression.

At this time, Zhou Zhishan was also anxious. He felt that something was wrong. Li Ziqing's move was a desperate measure.

If he let her continue like this, maybe Zhou Wen and the others would force him to die in order to preserve the Zhou family's property!

Thinking of this, he immediately decided, "I choose the second one. Ziqing, I can give you all of the Zhou family's property..."
