Chapter 450 You Really Look Like Your Mother
"Are you really determined to do this?" he asked with shaking hands.
"That's right." Hu Xiner nodded.
All the conditions she set were not harsh, she just wanted to completely sever ties with the Liu family.
"You don't even want a single cent of the Liu family's wealth?!" Old Master Liu was so angry that he started coughing violently.
Liu Qingyi and others were originally reading the contract. Upon hearing this, surprise flashed in their eyes.
They originally thought that Hu Xiner came back to divide the family property, but they didn't expect that this fool didn't want a penny!
Then what's the point of her severing ties with the Liu family? Liu Qingyi looked at Hu Xin'er with mockery in his eyes.
Oh my God, could it be that Hu Xiner thinks her husband's family is so powerful that she wants to sever ties with the Liu family?
When she thought of this, she couldn't help laughing out loud. Hu Xin'er was indeed a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
Although the Liu family seemed to be in financial difficulty, their calligraphy, paintings and antiques were rare treasures, and any of them could be exchanged for enormous wealth.
Liu Zhi and her daughter were thinking the same thing. However, although the corners of her lips curled slightly, she quickly put on a sad expression: "Xin'er, don't be blinded by the Lu family. Although our Liu family may seem a little poor, those calligraphy and paintings are extremely valuable. If you don't want them now, you will regret it later!"
On the surface, this was said for Hu Xiner's own good, but in fact, it contained a hidden hook.
While urging Hu Xin'er to break up the relationship, he pointed out that Hu Xin'er was a woman who despised the poor and loved the rich and was short-sighted.
After she said this, how could Hu Xin'er be so embarrassed as to ask for money again? After all, if she took it, she would be greedy, and if she didn't take it, she would be unable to endure poverty.
And Old Master Liu, who has always been aloof, would also look down on Hu Xiner's character.
Liu Zhixin was busy calculating, just waiting for Hu Xiner to fall into his trap.
"No matter how much money you have, it has nothing to do with me. Those things were never mine." Hu Xin'er didn't pay attention to the eldest wife's reaction. After all, they were about to break up, and the eldest wife should have no reason to target her in the future.
Old Master Liu looked around the room. The eldest wife's unconcealed joy, the Lu family's identical indifference, and the waves of fatigue that could not be stopped from coming from his body all made him feel a strange confusion and chill in his heart.
Why do people encounter this kind of family discord when they get old?
He couldn't figure it out, and didn't want to think about it anymore. He could only attribute it to Hu Xin'er being young and ignorant, and the people in the first house being too greedy and insidious.
He began to cough violently again, laughing as he coughed, almost choking on his tears: "Great! Great, in this room full of people, you are the only one, the newly adopted granddaughter, who has some of the Liu family's integrity!"
The coughing stopped. He glared at Hu Xin'er and hissed, "Are you going to piss me off like this while I'm still in bed? Don't ever mention severing ties again!"
"How can this be possible, Grandfather!" Liu Qingyi immediately refused to do it when he heard it.
Liu Zhi secretly pinched his stupid daughter, then said with fake tears, "Dad, don't blame Xin'er. She's young and doesn't know that you can't stand being scolded. She definitely didn't come here to irritate you just because you woke up!"
These words are full of gems, and are all praises and criticisms.
As expected, Old Master Liu was also provoked to some degree. He waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing else to say, please leave. Don't bring the Lu family to my presence to cause any more trouble. Otherwise, your marriage with Lu Yunjue will be in jeopardy."
Hu Xin'er raised the contract in her hand and said, "I'm serious about what I said. I won't leave until this contract is signed today."
Old Master Liu thought he had paved all the way for her, but now seeing that she was ungrateful, he was shocked and angry: "You?!"
Originally, Hu Xiner felt a little sorry to see that Old Master Liu, who had just recovered from a serious illness, reacted so emotionally to her words.
But when she heard that he was still trying to forcibly separate her and Mu Qing, her heart hardened again.
It’s not that she doesn’t give Old Master Liu a chance to rest, but once Old Master Liu figures out all the relationships, it will be difficult to completely sever ties.
After all, the prince's rebellion happened in the Liu family, and the eldest wife supported the prince in public, and even wanted to run towards the prince during the fight.
When the guests were attacked, the eldest wife was only concerned about her own life. The servants and guards surrounded them like an iron barrel, but even the children among the guests at the banquet did not receive any help from them when they were killed.
Fortunately, the emperor arrived in time to suppress the riot, otherwise the Lu family would have offended most of the celebrities in the capital.
If many people died, the various noble families and high-ranking officials would certainly hate the Lu family to the core, and the Lu family's demise would not be far away.
Although the casualties were not too serious, the surviving guests will always remember the selfish and ruthless faces of the Liu family.
Since that birthday banquet, the Liu family's reputation has been ruined, and only the former glory is left to support the entire mansion's pomp.
And what about the Lu family?
In the minds of the Lu family, they were surrounded by dangers and had to worry about the emperor and the prince plotting against them at any time, so they could only find ways to escape to the small mountain village.
But in the eyes of those who don't know the inside story, Mu Qing and Hu Xin'er are definitely going to be rich!
The former held the imperial sword and joined forces with the Duke to encircle and suppress the prince. The news of his meritorious service in protecting the emperor had long been widely circulated in the capital.
Hu Xiner is the long-lost daughter of His Majesty, and she is the person who rescued the eldest princess from the prince with the help of the imperial edict at the critical moment.
It is because the first wife and her group of idiots who have no political acumen would limit their vision to such trivial matters as fighting over family property.
Old Master Liu is a shrewd and calculating man who attaches great importance to the family's reputation. If he knew about his family's current situation, he would definitely use all the connections he could to help the Liu family return to the throne of the noble family.
And the best way is to borrow the power of the Lu family.
Under such circumstances, he would absolutely not sever ties with the Lu family. Instead, he would most likely use the name of family affection and the banner of justice to ask the Lu family to stay in Beijing so that the Liu family could suck their blood.
Hu Xiner was not originally a member of the Liu family, and was destined to never get along with the Liu family. Severing ties like this was actually the best way to deal with the situation.
Although it was a bit sudden, it gave both parties some dignity and prevented a mess in the end.
Old Master Liu didn't know the inside story. He just thought that Hu Xin'er was being willful because she had lost interest in the Liu family due to the birthday banquet incident.
His eyes swept across the contract inch by inch, and he could only see determination between the words.
He suddenly discovered that Hu Xin'er had no attachment to this home at all.
The past scenes emerged before his eyes. He barely stopped coughing and said in a hoarse voice, "You really do look like your mother..."
