Chapter 952 The Huo Family Has a Big Trouble

Li Cheng had never encountered such a social Waterloo.

He still said patiently: "Don't worry, Mr. Huo, we are very thorough. How could we allow such an accident to happen?"

"After the accident, you will make excuses. I didn't expect it. I'd better not take the risk of my life. If Mr. Li and Mr. Pei like to eat seafood, they can eat more. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to have such a bite in the future."

Qiao Xi sat aside, covering her mouth and laughing silently.

How could she forget that Xingzhou's tongue was even more poisonous than Sun Shao's.

If he had a sharp tongue, few people would get anything good from him. He came to the banquet tonight on purpose to cause trouble.

"Huo Xingzhou, what do you mean?" Pei Zheng's patience was exhausted. He had already fallen out with Huo Xingzhou, so there was no need to be polite.

Li Cheng, on the other hand, had to pretend to be a good person and mediate the situation.

He looked left and right, his face full of helpless and bitter smiles, as if he wanted people to know how uncomfortable he was being sandwiched between these two people.

Huo Xingzhou put the wine glass on the tea table and said, "There's nothing to eat in prison. But if that day comes, I will definitely bring these things to see President Pei."

"you……"

Pei Zheng immediately stood up and said, "Boss Li, I have something else to do at home, so I'll take my leave now!"

After saying that, he left.

Li Chenggan laughed twice and said, "Boss Huo, what on earth is going on here? Even if there is a conflict between you and Boss Pei, there is no need to confront each other like this."

"It's not a conflict, it's a mortal feud." Huo Xingzhou looked at Li Cheng dimly and said, "Mr. Li, you must choose the right person and get on the right boat. Otherwise, if you do something wrong, it will implicate the entire family."

"Haha." Li Cheng smiled perfunctorily, "What kind of ship is that? I don't quite understand, but I do my job and my duty. Thank you, Mr. Huo, for reminding me."

Seeing that he was still playing dumb, Huo Xingzhou didn't point it out.

When the time comes, he will show no mercy.

Li Cheng asked for it; Pei Zheng didn't force him at all.

"Boss Huo, I also want to remind you of something. After all, the Pei family has a long history in the imperial capital. Why do you have to make such a fuss? If we work together, wouldn't it be great if we can all make money together? After all, there are no permanent enemies in this world, and doing business has permanent benefits."

"It seems that Mr. Li has become obsessed with money."

Huo Xingzhou smiled coldly, "If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. Mr. Li should discipline his daughter more when he has time."

"It's all because Mr. Huo is so charming. Young girls who have not seen much of the world are easily attracted by appearances."

Huo Xingzhou smiled and helped Qiao Xi up: "It's getting late, we'll take our leave first. I hope that Mr. Li's welcoming banquet tonight will be a complete success, so we won't stay for the banquet."

He left halfway, obviously not wanting to give Li Cheng face.

Li Cheng did not hold back. He just felt that the Pei family deserved what they did to the Huo family. Huo Xingzhou was too domineering!

Pei Zheng and Huo Xingzhou left one after another, and some people at the banquet also asked to leave.

Those people were originally coming for the Huo and Pei families, and the Li family really didn't have that much face. After a while, there were only a few small soldiers and crab generals left, and Li Cheng didn't have the heart to deal with them.

"Sir, the old lady asked you to go to the room and said she wanted to talk to you about something."

"knew."

Li Cheng waved his hands impatiently.

His mother was a conservative person who valued etiquette and was very concerned about her reputation. If the Li family had accepted the jewelry store given by the Liu family, they would have been much better off. They obviously had such a good relationship with the Liu family, why didn't they take advantage of it for so many years?

She really only cares about her own noble character and doesn't care about the younger generation who are surviving in the gap.

After Li Cheng socialized for a while, he went to the old lady's room.

He still does a good job in his superficial work.

Knock knock.

He knocked on the door, and when he was answered, he pushed it open and walked in.

"Mom, what do you want to talk to me about? I'm very busy tonight and I have a lot of guests to deal with downstairs."

Madam Li looked serious. "Aren't the two people who needed to be dealt with the most already gone?"

"Mom is really good at seeing things. But I just returned to the capital, and I have to make friends even if it's just a small shrimp. In the future, the Li family's business will have to be moved to the capital, so it's not a good idea for us to wander around forever."

Madam Li looked at him and said, "I thought you wanted to keep this business going for a long time."

She pointed to the stool in front of her and said, "Sit down. We haven't talked for a long time."

"Mom, there are things that you can't say at other times, but you have to say it at this time." Li Cheng complained, but still sat opposite the old lady.

"You must send Li Nianqi abroad." Old Mrs. Li said in a cold voice, without any discussion, only notification.

She really couldn't tolerate that granddaughter!

She heard everything that happened at the party tonight.

So embarrassing!

An unmarried girl is drooling over someone else's husband and even tries to seduce the original wife.

She is crazy!

When Mrs. Li thought about how Li Nianqi grew up by her side, she felt she would not be able to face the ancestors of the Li family after her death.

"How did Nianqi make you angry? She has become more restrained since returning home."

"Li Cheng, do you think I'm old and confused? She coveted Huo Xingzhou! And she did such shameless things. After all, our Li family was a family of noble birth several generations ago."

"There's no reason for a little girl to like something. Since she likes it, just let her do it."

"You...how could you become like this! You are so shameless!"

Li Cheng was a little irritated. "Mom, it's fine if you don't help with the business. Don't blame me for the way I do things. If it weren't for me, the Li family would have been ruined long ago."

"What business are you doing with Pei Zheng?"

"This is none of your business."

"Pei Zheng is ruthless and cruel. If he has money, why doesn't he make it himself? Why does he have to drag you into it? Are you doing some illegal business? Li Cheng, our Li family's foundation can still hold on for decades, but you can't make any mistakes!"

Li Cheng stood up and said nonchalantly, "Mom, you don't understand anything. I think I'll send you abroad tomorrow."

"you……"

"That's settled."

The old lady staying at home is also a hindrance. She might even get angry and kill her own relatives.

"Li Cheng, I am your mother. Have you forgotten the propriety and morality I taught you since you were a child?"

"I only remember that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I don't want to be a useless person who is inferior to others anymore." Li Cheng waved his hand and asked someone to take Madam Li away.

…

the other side.

Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi returned to the Huo family villa.

But before I even walked into the entrance, I saw Aunt Qian coming out with an awkward look on her face, "Master, Madam, you're back? I guess you didn't have anything to eat at the dinner, do you want me to prepare a midnight snack for you?"

"Excuse me, Aunt Qian."

"No trouble." Aunt Qian had a complicated expression, "But there is a big trouble inside."
