Li Jiuqing felt uneasy under Li Xiyue's gaze. She thought that Li Xiyue would feel guilty and try to dodge the question, or panic when she heard it.

But the reality is completely different from what she imagined.

Li Xiyue looked at her with her bright eyes. The light in Li Xiyue's eyes was so cold and fierce, like a glacier in the twelfth lunar month, that it could see into one's bones.

At that very moment, the person trembling all over was not Li Xiyue, but her!

Li Xiyue didn't say anything, just looked at Li Jiuqing leisurely.

Li Jiuqing felt terrible.

This feeling is wrong; it's as if she's the one who feels guilty!

But why would she feel guilty for doing something wrong?

She wanted to retort, but her voice trembled as she opened her mouth.

She stammered, "Well... I just... I was just asking you. If it's inconvenient for you to answer, or if there's something you're hiding, you don't have to answer me. I'll pretend I don't know anything!"

Li Xiyue looked at Li Jiuqing with disdain and said with a sneer, "What secrets do I have? Ha! What are you trying to say? You were following me?"

Li Jiuqing almost choked on Li Xiyue's words. She said, "No, I didn't follow you. I just wanted to say a few words to you, so I followed you."

That alley is quite long; judging by the time it took, you couldn't have run out of it that quickly.

She felt that she had a handle on Li Xiyue, so she wanted to keep holding onto it. As long as Li Xiyue had a weakness in her hands, she could control Li Xiyue and turn the tables!

Li Xiyue stepped forward and stood in front of Li Jiuqing. Her imposing aura was overwhelming, and she looked at Li Jiuqing with utter contempt.

She said, "Whether I run fast or slow is none of your business! Who do you think you are, interfering in my affairs?"

This is my home. If I'm staying here, I should act like one! If I'm not happy tomorrow, I can kick you out anytime!

Li Jiuqing never expected that Li Xiyue would actually want her to get out.

Her face trembled slightly as she said, "Grandpa sent me to find you! And yet, Grandpa was even thinking of giving you a share of the inheritance!"

Property should be a good thing, right? Would anyone refuse property?

Since no one is refusing the property, Li Wenbo's family should appease her properly, otherwise she will go back and tell her grandfather whether Li Wenbo's family has a share of the property!

Li Xiyue said with a sneer, "What does the property have to do with you living in my house? Do you think Grandpa's property is your living expenses?"

Also, my family is not your family, and my family is not short of money! You actually brought up your assets to talk about money, so it seems your family is really short of money, just waiting to get a share of Grandpa's inheritance!

"How filial! But does Grandpa know how filial you are? All you ever think about is inheriting the family fortune!"

Li Jiuqing's expression froze. She considered herself a superior citizen with money and property. After returning to China, she felt even more superior because of her excellent conditions!

At that moment, she felt like she had been slapped in the face by Li Xiyue!

She became the one in the family who was so poor that she coveted her grandfather's inheritance!

But this isn't right!

How much money could Li Xiyue's family possibly have? Could they be richer than hers?

Her jaw clenched, and the words escaped from between her teeth, "Your family is rich? Humph! You mean you're refusing to let Grandpa divide his inheritance among you?"

"Alright, I'll go back and tell Grandpa that we don't need to divide the inheritance among you. Your family doesn't care, your family doesn't want it!"

Li Xiyue's sharp eyes fell on Li Jiuqing's face. This woman was definitely the type who was asking for trouble!

She said imperiously, "Do you think you have a say in my family's and my grandfather's affairs? Who do you think you are! Bah!"

She really offended Li Jiuqing. This kind of person is the type who's always asking for trouble. If she doesn't get a beating, she won't know what social harmony looks like!

Li Jiuqing covered her face, pointing at Li Xiyue with her other finger and saying, "You...you spat on me! How barbaric! A poor person is a poor person, uncivilized and ill-mannered!"

The next instant, Li Xiyue suddenly raised her hand and slapped Li Jiuqing hard across the face again. "Ha! You call us barbarians? What kind of trash are you!"

No matter how much money your family's business has, did you earn even a single penny of it?

"Pah! You dare yell at me here? Get out of my house! If I see you again, I'll beat you up!"

She then slapped Li Jiuqing hard across the face again!

Li Jiuqing wanted to fight back, but if she did, she would lose her status as the weaker party. She fell backward with a thud and landed on her bottom.

Then he shouted into the living room, "Don't hit me! Sister, don't hit me!"

Her voice is loud enough for everyone in the living room to hear!

Hearing the commotion, Li Wenbo and Cheng Xiaohui rushed out to see what was going on!

To their utter surprise, when they ran out, they saw Li Jiuqing sitting on the ground, with Li Xiyue standing beside her, and Li Jiuqing covering her face with her hands!

It was like a live version of Li Jiuqing getting a good beating from Li Xiyue!

Cheng Xiaohui exclaimed hurriedly, "Oh! What happened?!"

Li Jiuqing reached out and grabbed Cheng Xiaohui's sleeve. She choked up and said, "Auntie, please don't blame my sister. I guess I didn't know how to speak properly and angered her. I just returned to China and my Mandarin is not fluent yet!"

She directly positioned herself as innocent, giving the impression that she was being beaten up simply because she couldn't speak!

Li Xiyue crossed her arms and sneered, "Mom, kick her out of our house! She called us poor and threatened me with whether Grandpa would get a share of our assets!"

What the hell? He claims he's returned to China to support the country's development!

With her kind of character and upbringing, she looks down on the poor and on everyone in the country. She thinks she's a superior citizen!

Can someone like her really be expected to return to China to contribute to the country's development and support its construction?

She looks down on us to the core! She thinks we're only taking care of her for Grandpa's inheritance!

Li Jiuqing quickly waved her hand and said, "I didn't! I didn't say that, my sister must have misunderstood!"

In any case, only the two of them know that if one of them denies it, the other person's words are questionable!

Who can prove that she just said that?!

Li Xiyue didn't speak. She calmly looked at Li Wenbo and Cheng Xiaohui. Now was the time to test their family ties. Would Li Wenbo and Cheng Xiaohui believe her?

Mi Bao said in the space, "Holy crap! Do you think Li Wenbo and Cheng Xiaohui will believe you?"

Look at her, your cousin is crying her eyes out, looking so wronged. Anyone would believe her!

It really made me worried for Li Xiyue; even Cheng Xiaohui might not believe Li Xiyue!

Cheng Xiaohui hesitated for a moment and said, "Um...is this a misunderstanding? Jiuqing, let me help you up first. My daughter isn't that kind of person!"

She helped Li Jiuqing to her feet, and Mi Bao clearly saw a smug look popping out of Li Jiuqing's eyes...
