Chapter 2697: Reputation
“Patriarch!”
Those who had come with Patriarch Li stepped forward quickly and helped him up. Patriarch Li pushed away those who were supporting him and looked at his Father. His lips moved, and he was about to speak when he heard his Father’s dignified and indifferent voice.
“From this moment, the Patriarch of the Li Family will be abolished. He will also move out of the Li Family and establish his own household.”
As soon as Old Patriarch Li said this, everyone around couldn’t help but look at him in shock. Even the expressions of Patriarch Li and his son were of shock. On the contrary, those who had come with Old Patriarch Li looked indifferent, as if they had already known about it.
“The Patriarch’s position of the Li Family will be succeeded by my second son, Li Qingcheng.”
As soon as Old Patriarch Li had spoken, everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but fall onto the calm middle aged man who had come with Old Patriarch Li. In the future, the Li Family would be headed by this Second Master Li? How the tides had turned!
“Father, Father, I know I’m in the wrong, Father, please give me another chance!” Patriarch Li quickly recovered from his shock and stepped forward and knelt down with a plop.
Old Patriarch Li didn’t look at him, but looked at Feng Jiu and asked: “I wonder if Young Master is satisfied with the way I’ve dealt with the matter?”
However, before Feng Jiu could speak, she saw that Young Master Li had also recovered from his astonishment and screamed: “Impossible! How can this be?”
He quickly came to Old Patriarch Li: “Grandfather, this kid kicked me and injured my Father. How can Grandfather help him and not protect us? We are the children and grandchildren of Grandfather!”
…
Old Patriarch Li frowned and shouted in a deep voice: “Kneel down!” His coercion was released and Young Master Li who was shouting fell to his knee suddenly with a plop. His body trembled uncontrollably and he couldn’t stand up even if he had wanted to.
“Apologise to this Young Master!” Old Patriarch Li bellowed in a deep voice and stared at the two of them who were kneeling in front of him.
“I, I don’t…” Young Master Li was about to refuse when his Father dragged his head and lowered it: “We will apologise.”
Patriarch Li turned to Feng Jiu and said: “We are sorry, we were in the wrong, Young Master, please be magnanimous and don’t take offence to us.”
Although he was embarra.s.sed, he had to say this. It wasn’t only because of his Father’s coercion, but also because after he had fought against this young man in azure clothes, he knew that his opponent’s strength was very strong, and definitely above him.
“Apologise!”
Patriarch Li stared at his son with sharp eyes, a fire burned in his heart. If it hadn’t been for his son, why would he have thought that this kid would be easy to bully? He had wanted to take the opportunity to suppress the Guo Family and boost their Li Family’s status. But who knew that things would turn out like this?
Having been glared at by his Father, Young Master Li was taken aback. When he saw his Grandfather staring at him again, he couldn’t help but glance at Feng Jiu and lowered his head: “I’m sorry, I was wrong.”
Old Patriarch Li looked at Feng Jiu, and when he saw that she was silent and didn’t speak, his heart lifted slightly.
“Young Master Feng.”
The old voice had come from inside the Guo Manor. When everyone looked back, they saw Old Patriarch Guo walking out. He came to Feng Jiu’s side, then he glanced at Old Patriarch Li and said to Feng Jiu: “Actually, I asked Old Patriarch Li to come over. We have a friends.h.i.+p after all, and I don’t want the Li Family’s reputation to be ruined by his eldest son. I hope Young Master Feng can not pursue the matter further on my account.”
