It was on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
When Li Qianfan came to the Helan family to offer New Year greetings, he was publicly told by Helan Tingmei, "We do not see anyone surnamed Li or Su," and was forced to leave in disgrace.
But—
Was this the reason Li Wujiang destroyed the reputation of the Helan family?
Yes!
"What is my son's status?"
"He is the grandson of Mr. Nanfang of Emperor Valley, the eldest grandson of Mr. Yang Xiao of Blazing Flame Valley."
"He is the future Dragon Lord of Longxu, one of the four major powers in the world."
"He is also the current village chief of Sijiu Li Family Village."
"He is my only son, Li Wujiang."
"Any one of my son's numerous identities."
Li Wujiang said with a ferocious smile, "Let alone in Sijiu. Even looking across the country, or the world! When my son visits as a junior, no family or person would dare to say such a thing to him!"
The people of the Helan family—
Suddenly realized, "What Li Wujiang said seems to be quite correct."
"Yet, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, when my son personally visited to offer New Year greetings as a junior, your Sijiu Helan family uttered those words."
Li Wujiang clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on He Lan Qunxing and the others.
He strode forward, "Who gave the increasingly declining Helan family the audacity to tell my son that he would not be seen?"
The people of the Helan family—
Including Helan Tingmei, all of them were speechless in the face of Li Wujiang's repeated questioning.
Strictly speaking.
Li Qianfan visiting a family, that family had the right not to see him: "Even if you have an impressive identity, I just don't like you, what can you do to me?"
This was not the reason for Li Wujiang to come and destroy the Helan family's facade today!
But then again—
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when Li Qianfan visited to offer New Year greetings as a junior, even if the Helan family didn't want to see him, they had numerous polite excuses; for instance, the elder's health was not good, or they were dealing with an urgent family matter, making it inconvenient to receive guests, and so on.
If the Helan family had given any excuse to refuse to see Li Qianfan that day, Li Wujiang would not have come to slap their faces today.
But the Helan family, against all odds, listened to Helan Tingmei and bluntly stated that they would not see anyone surnamed Li in front of Li Qianfan.
What did this mean?
This was equivalent to slapping Li Qianfan, and even the entire Li family, directly in the face!
Since the Helan family dared to slap the Li family's face.
Then Li Wujiang coming here today, in such a barbaric and overbearing manner, to destroy the Helan family's screen wall, was it wrong to consider it a more severe counter-slap?
"From the moment you slapped my Li family's face that day, you should have been prepared for my Li family to slap yours back!"
"Instead of acting shocked, wronged, and angry after being slapped."
"The Helan family and I are enemies until death?"
"Heh."
"Fine, I'll be waiting."
"Bring out whatever means the Helan family has!"
"Once the war begins, if my Li family does not let the Helan family disappear from Sijiu."
"I, Li Wujiang, will commit suicide on the spot!"
Li Wujiang, who really wanted to smash He Lan Qunxing with a punch, finally restrained himself after walking to within two meters of him.
After delivering this harsh threat, her cold gaze swept across Helan Tingmei's face.
She then turned and quickly walked out the door.
Chongchong, standing by the small car, quickly opened the door for Auntie Wujiang.
Beep beep.
Shen Yun honked the car horn lightly and started the engine.
Li Wujiang had already been gone for a while.
He Lan Qunxing and the others were still standing foolishly in front of the ruined screen wall, wondering if they were dreaming.
Many suddenly felt how ridiculous they were.
After all, when they first heard the news of Li Wujiang's arrival at the Helan family, they thought she was coming to offer New Year greetings.
Instead, it was a face-slapping.
And a particularly brutal one at that!!
"Sigh."
Manager Zhao, who had been following Li Wujiang closely, sighed heavily after his informant 008 reported that the mythical beast had gone to the Helan family and destroyed the screen wall with a single kick.
Why had Manager Zhao personally called He Lan Qunxing back then?
It was because he hoped the Helan family could offer Li Qianfan support in his difficult time!
After all, Manager Zhao's daughter-in-law (Zhao Tingshan's wife) had the surname Helan.
Zhao Tingshan's wife, Helan Dianya, was the only daughter of the late Helan Fusu, the former patriarch of the Helan family.
Because Helan Fusu had a poor relationship with He Lan Qunxing during his lifetime, after his death and He Lan Qunxing inherited the position of patriarch, Helan Dianya was quickly marginalized.
It was precisely for this reason.
Helan Dianya, after marrying Zhao Tingshan for so many years, rarely returned to the Helan family.
But regardless of how you looked at it, the Zhao family and the Helan family were considered in-laws.
It was precisely because of this relationship—
That Manager Zhao paid special attention to Helan Tingmei, wanting to promote her to be Li Wujiang's assistant secretary, which would be a good opportunity for the Helan family.
Manager Zhao even more hoped that the Helan family, who had a marital relationship with the Li and Zhao families, could offer Li Qianfan support.
And the result?
"Manager Zhao, should we go to the Yao family?"
The secretary Xiao Niu's soft inquiry brought Manager Zhao, who had been smoking a cigarette at some point, back from his deep thoughts, "Is it still in time to go now?"
It was too late.
Informant 008 called, "Li Wujiang went to the Yao family. But in the Yao family's courtyard, let alone people, not even a dog was left. The Yao family took the stance that they would not object no matter how Li Wujiang broke into their home."
Manager Zhao—
Could only say, "Damn it, the Yao family is much smarter than the Helan family."
Secretary Xiao Niu asked, "Manager Zhao, why did Director Li (a habitual address) go to the Yao family?"
Manager Zhao said irritably, "Isn't it because the Yao family became the general agent for International Ruixue? Didn't a child from the Yao family have a conflict with that brat at the socialite disco long ago? Especially since the Yao family has been secretly exchanging glances with families like the Shen family?"
Xiao Niu suddenly understood.
Manager Zhao cursed again, "Li Wujiang, this scoundrel, is sometimes very generous and sometimes very petty."
Xiao Niu nodded vigorously.
Manager Zhao waved his hand, "Drive, back to the office."
The driver immediately started the car parked by the roadside.
Xiao Niu asked, "Manager Zhao, aren't you going to stop Director Li?"
Manager Zhao rolled his eyes, "At my age, can I keep up with her?"
Xiao Niu—
Thought, "You are sitting in the car, not running. You just realized that Director Li actually has a good sense of proportion and there's no need to chase after her anymore."
"Wait."
As the car just started, Manager Zhao said, "We're not going back to the office, we're going to the Su family. Hmph, I'll see how that scoundrel explains herself after causing trouble outside."
Hum hum hum—
Informant 008 called, "Manager Zhao, Li Wujiang went to the Murong family again!"
Manager Zhao's jaw trembled, and he cursed, "This troublemaking scoundrel, I don't care about her anymore! Let's go to the Su family!"
The wheels rumbled.
Moving forward all the way.
Li Wujiang's next stop was the Sijiu Murong family!
This news, like the wind under the warm sun, quickly spread throughout Sijiu.
Everyone closely watching the mythical beast's movements immediately activated their brain cells, starting to analyze where she would go next after dealing with the Sijiu Murong family.
Panic ensued.
Yet many were secretly gloating: "Rant, rant. It would be best if Li Wujiang stepped on all the wealthy families in Sijiu today! Only then can public outrage be ignited, and she become an enemy of the masses!"
Sijiu Murong family.
"What?"
The Murong family patriarch, upon hearing that Li Wujiang, who had already trampled on the Lin, Lu, Shen, and Helan families, had spread word in advance that she would come to the Murong family after dealing with the Yao family, was so frightened that he jumped up from his chair with a motion unbefitting his actual age.
Murong He and other disciples also looked terrified (Murong Mingyuan was sleeping soundly in her room due to her delicate health).
Thump thump thump.
The Murong family patriarch pounded the floor with his cane, repeatedly ordering, "Quick, quick! Everyone, evacuate the old house as fast as possible!"
This was how the Yao family avoided the arrival of the mythical beast.
And the effect was immediate—
Was it just the front door being kicked open and the living room being set on fire?
A piece of cake!
We've wanted to replace the main door for a long time, and we've wanted to redecorate the living room for a long time!
As long as the core of the family wouldn't have their legs broken and teeth knocked out like the Shen family and others, nothing else mattered!
The Murong family patriarch deeply agreed with this—
For a moment, the Sijiu Murong family descended into chaos.
Adults shouting, children crying.
The Murong family patriarch was even supported by his sons as he quickly walked out of the living room, "Quick, wake Mingyuan up. Lest she be harmed by Li Wujiang while sleeping."
The Murong family patriarch truly doted on this granddaughter; even at this critical juncture, he hadn't forgotten to take her with them.
A woman immediately rushed towards the backyard.
"Quick, quick, evacuate!"
When Murong He shouted again, he saw a small white car parked at the entrance of the courtyard.
Peng—
Murong He's heart pounded wildly, and he couldn't help but wail, "The mythical beast is at the gate, there's no escape!"
