The Li Family Banquet!

The Li family controls countless economic lifelines in the capital. Li Zhanting has dominated the business world for many years, making the Li family synonymous with business ruthlessness. Therefore, even a simple family banquet attracts countless wealthy and powerful families to visit.

At the entrance of the Li family's residence, countless luxury cars were lined up in a row, and the interior was packed with guests. Business tycoons of various skin colors were busy exchanging gifts and pleasantries, while many others seemed to have sensed something amiss and were just waiting to see the Li family make a scene.

Li Zhanting drove his black Maybach slowly toward the Li family compound.

He slowly opened the car window, his obsidian-like eyes gazing at the Li family courtyard, a deep undercurrent swirling within them.

The familiar warmth was long gone from his eyes; in their place was the coldness and icy chill only seen when facing an enemy.

Judging from the situation, many of the Li family's guests headed towards the Li family's main hall. Anyone with a brain knows what was going on there.

In the passenger seat, Gu Momo seemed to notice the chilling aura emanating from Li Zhanting. Following his gaze, she looked towards the Li family's main hall, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"It seems you're quite popular in the Li family. Look, so many people are waiting for you?"

Li Zhanting's lips twitched. This woman... she's not comfortable unless she says something to him.

“Yes, they’ve been waiting for me for a long time.” Li Zhanting said, turning his head to look at the back seat, “Zixiao, Ling’er, get out of the car with Dad.”

Li Zixiao sat upright in the back seat. Upon hearing his father's voice, he quickly typed a line on his laptop and sent it directly to Gu Jingxing.

Zixiao: Okay, Daddy's calling me out. You have to come to what we agreed on.

Gu Jingxing: Don't worry, I mean what I say! I guarantee I'll give those stubborn old fogies in the Li family a super big surprise!

Upon receiving Gu Jingxing's message, Li Zixiao quickly pulled Li Qingling out of the car.

The two little dumplings ran up to Gu Momo and gently hooked their little fingers around hers, one on each side.

Li Qingling jumped for joy, "Pretty Auntie, look! This is where Ling'er and her brother grew up together! If Pretty Auntie marries Daddy, all these beautiful, super big houses here will belong to Pretty Auntie!"

Gu Momo immediately launched a counter-sales pitch, "Pretty Auntie has so many beautiful big houses of her own, how about this, Ling'er and Zixiao can both stay at Pretty Auntie's place, Pretty Auntie promises to give you even bigger and more beautiful houses than these!"

Li Qingling's eyes lit up instantly, "Wow! Pretty auntie, Ling'er also wants to see a beautiful big house!"

Li Zhanting behind him: "..."

My dear Ling'er, have you forgotten something?

You're in Daddy's camp, you know...

Li Zhanting's lips twitched. His precious Ling'er was too easily swayed by others, which made him, as her father, feel heartbroken!

Meanwhile, the Li family hall was in complete chaos!

At the very front of the hall, Old Master Li, dressed in a neatly pressed light blue Zhongshan suit, had a sharp and imposing gaze that exuded a powerful aura. His short, snow-white hair was combed back and gleamed. Even though his face was covered in wrinkles, it could not conceal his imposing presence and charisma.

His hawk-like eyes looked at Li Mingde. "So you mean you want to completely remove Li Zixiao from our Li family?"

When this matter was brought up, Li Mingde could not hide his excitement. He stood up from his seat and said, "Dad, I will listen to you on everything, but this matter of Li Zixiao is one that you and Zhan Ting absolutely cannot let do as you please!"

These words immediately caused quite a stir in the hall.

The guests of the Li family were busy joining in the fun, after all, who in the entire capital didn't want the Li family to fall?

Meanwhile, the collateral branches of the Li family were secretly gloating.

Almost all the collateral branches of the Li family suffered from Li Zhanting's suppression. Not only did they not get a share of the Li family's profits, but their status and position were also several times lower than those of the main branch of the Li family.

The conflict within the main branch of the Li family gives these collateral branches a chance to rise to prominence!

Third Uncle Li Qingyun, a cold smile playing on his lips, sat calmly on the left, dressed in a dark suit, and took a leisurely sip of tea.

"Second brother, if you want Zhan Ting to hand over the position of heir to the Li family, just say so. Why beat around the bush like this?"

Although he said that, he was secretly laughing at himself.

Only someone as impatient as him would think of pushing Li Zhanting off the position of heir right now.

Seeing Li Qingyun's hypocritical demeanor, Li Mingde felt disgusted.

He couldn't help but sneer, "No matter what, our Li family is a century-old aristocratic family with pure bloodlines. No one of us has ever had an unknown origin! I admit that Zixiao is very cute, but his mother is unknown. The Li family has already done more than enough by adopting such a child of unknown origin. If we were to let him inherit the Li family business in the future, how could we, as elders, possibly obey him!"

This third brother, he talks a good game, but isn't he the one who's most active in secretly taking action against Li Zhanting?

"Everyone agrees, right?!"

The Li family was already riddled with internal conflicts. In order to take this opportunity to remove Li Zixiao from the Li family, Li Mingde secretly won over many collateral branches to support him.

After he said that, many members of the collateral branches stepped forward:

"Yes! That's right! I admire Master Ting's methods, but I don't admire Li Zixiao!"

"It's one thing that his birth mother is unknown, but he didn't even live to be seven years old. Does he want the Li family to have no successor in the future?"

"Yeah, yeah, who knew Li Zixiao wouldn't live past seven? He was so weak before, he couldn't even withstand a breeze. Is this ominous person trying to curse our Li family line to end?"
