"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean, 'your home'?"
Just moments ago, he was high and mighty, looking like he was about to interrogate someone, but now he looked horrified.
Does he know?
But what rumors did they hear?
Li Xian's expression was indifferent, he didn't even bother to raise his eyebrows, and his voice carried a chilling coldness: "Villa No. 6, Yunding Mountain Villa, Jasmine Road Apartment."
Every word struck a chord in everyone's hearts like a nail.
Ke Han's husband is an honest man. When Li Xian came back, he asked Ke Han if she should return the house to the owner. Ke Han insisted that Li Xian knew nothing about the house and that it did not need to be returned.
Ke Han truly believed this; regardless of whether Li Xian knew or not, she would never return the house.
Li Xian remained expressionless, but his voice carried a hint of sarcasm: "Have you forgotten whose things they are after living here for so long?"
He seemed to exude an invisible pressure, and Ke Han's palms became slightly sweaty.
He was quickly making plans in his mind.
When Li Xian first arrived in Shanghai penniless, if he had known he owned a house, he would have asked for it. However, he never asked and instead found another place to live.
This indicates that he was unaware of the house.
Who exactly told him this?
Not many people know about this, my father...
A sense of irritation swept through Ke Han's heart.
It must be Komei.
That girl told her to return the house from the beginning; it must have been her meddling and talking too much to Li Xian.
Since it was Komei who said it, then it's as if there's no evidence whatsoever.
Ke Han sneered: "Your aunt said that, didn't she? Your aunt talks nonsense and doesn't even know what she's saying. You actually believed her? That house was bought by your uncle, so how did it become your house?"
Ke Han was very confident that Ke Chongshan would definitely stand by her side. As long as she insisted on denying it, Li Xian had no evidence and what could he do to him?
Even if she took the matter to Liu Zhao, she could cry and say that her nephew was a wolf in sheep's clothing and had somehow set his sights on her house.
Li Xian looked at Ke Chongshan, his eyes deep and his voice unreadable: "What do you think?"
Ke Chongshan, as expected of Ke Han's father, thought exactly the same thing as her. His expression turned almost imperceptibly indifferent: "Li Xian, you did this on purpose, didn't you? I am your maternal grandfather, and she is your mother's sister. We always have to protect you from those disreputable women. It seems you've been living in the countryside for too long and are too naive. Your aunt only said one thing to that woman, and you've become so aggressive."
He looked at Li Xian with a threatening expression: "Li Xian, you need to know who is close and who is distant."
Seeing that Ke Chongshan was backing her up, Ke Han sneered: "She's just a little girl. Does she really think she's some rich young lady? Li Xian, I'm telling you right now, you can enter our Ke family, but that woman is not allowed. Think carefully about whether you want family or a disreputable woman. Also, understand this: the house is mine and has nothing to do with you."
The room fell into a deathly silence.
The air was so heavy that it was difficult to breathe.
Ke Chongshan still remembered that Li Xian had Liu Zhao behind him, and gently advised, "Since your mother passed away, your aunt's mental state has not been very good. Please don't take it seriously. It's fine for us family to talk about it. Now that you're with Mr. Liu, don't say these things in front of him. It would be bad if Mr. Liu heard them and made a fool of himself."
A hint of mockery appeared in Li Xian's eyes.
Ke Han breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had softened his stance: "Your aunt isn't quite right in the head, so don't believe her lies."
Despite Ke Chongshan and Ke Han's reactions, Li Xian remained unmoved.
He was born with few relatives and had no intention of forcing any more relatives.
The reason I came to Shanghai to find him, as Ke Chongshan had suggested, was because of Xu Nuo.
He has always wanted and demanded only one person: her.
Having thought it through, he slowly raised his head, his gaze sharp as a knife, piercing Ke Han and Ke Chongshan.
His voice carried a hint of gloom: "The one who informed me was Liu Zhao, Lieutenant General Liu."
The room fell silent again.
Outside.
Ke Mei pushed the hot tea in front of Xu Nuo, her smile genuine: "Xiao Nuo, have some tea."
"Thanks."
Xu Nuo usually drinks tea made from herbal water, so she doesn't really like the ordinary tea from Ke Chongshan's house. Plus, it was too hot, so she just took a small sip.
Komei kept glancing into the study, her fingertips unconsciously twisting together, as if she had something to say but hesitated.
Xu Nuo got straight to the point.
Is there anything you want to say?
Komei paused for a moment, then nodded.
“Xiao Nuo, Li Xian doesn’t usually come to my place, so I rarely have the chance to talk to him alone. Please pass on some things to him and let him… let him handle it.”
Xu Nuo frowned: "What is it?"
“My second brother-in-law had two houses that weren’t confiscated, and they’re still with my eldest sister.”
After talking about it, Komei felt much of the pent-up frustration that had been building up inside her, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Ke Han screamed in the study, followed by an angry shout from Ke Chongshan.
"Li Xian!"
However, Li Xian had already opened the door and walked out of the room without looking back.
In this world, family background is extremely important.
Ke Chongshan was certain that Li Xian was all alone and that even with Liu Zhao behind him, he would not dare to turn against the Ke family.
But to everyone's surprise, Li Xian was so rebellious.
He had only said one bad thing about that woman, yet Li Xian wanted to distance himself from her.
Ke Chongshan was so angry that his hands and feet trembled.
Ke Han panicked too.
She was determined to get that house and couldn't give it up, but Li Xian had the deed, which was given to her personally by Lieutenant General Liu.
what to do?
...
The fact that Li Xian and the Ke family fell out at this time was somewhat unexpected for Xu Nuo.
But Xu Nuo knew that Ke Chongshan and Ke Han must have done something that crossed his bottom line.
The next day, Ke Han came to the house, wanting to fight for the house again. Ai Jun said that her attitude was problematic, that she was occupying someone else's house and was being aggressive, and that Li Xian was probably angry.
He thought he should speak to Li Xian in a gentle and polite manner, hoping that Li Xian would not refuse him.
Unexpectedly, Li Xian didn't give him any face at all.
They came full of confidence at first, but left dejectedly.
Moreover, Xu Nuo didn't know what method Li Xian used, but by the third day, the house at Yunding Mountain Villa had been completely emptied.
When Cheng Liyan bought the house a few years ago, he personally commissioned someone to design and build it; the style is a timeless two-story villa.
“In a few days, when William doesn’t need me anymore, I’ll turn this little garden over and let you plant whatever you like.”
The construction of the new Chengdong New Area has begun, and it's a privately owned project; everyone in Shanghai knows about it.
This can be considered a free and effective advertisement.
But Li Xian was so busy that he was constantly on the go, and in just half a month, he looked noticeably thinner.
His eyes and brows are more defined and his features are more distinct. Compared to before, he looks more mature and composed.
Xu Nuo turned around and hugged his waist, rubbing against his clothes, her voice soft: "No rush, let's go back first, you can get a good night's sleep."
Li Xian hadn't slept all night, and his brows furrowed with weariness as he held the person in his arms.
Hold me tight.
"good."
