Chapter 469: Stupid and Vicious
"Grandma, this isn't fair." Li Jingming tried to defend himself. "Just because of something that didn't happen, you're kicking me out of the house. I don't accept it."
"I'm announcing a decision now, not discussing it with you." Old Master Li looked at Li Jingming coldly, "No one cares about your opinion."
With just one sentence, Li Jingming's face turned even paler, without a trace of blood. He also looked shaky, as if he would faint at any moment.
Without even glancing at Li Jingming, Old Master Li continued, "I'm going to say this today. Remember, Li Jingming is no longer a member of our Li family. As for whether you want to continue associating with him, that's your business. I don't care. But remember this: no matter what you do, anyone who dares to use the Li family's resources to help Li Jingming will be kicked out with him."
Suddenly, everyone's face turned serious and became extremely formal.
Everyone understood that the old man and the old lady were determined to kick Li Jingming out this time, and they even said such harsh words.
However, even if the old man didn't say anything, they didn't plan to continue associating with Li Jingming.
Although Li Jingming had entered the Li family, they still looked down on this illegitimate child. Not only because of his background, but also because of his former self-righteousness and ignorance. Now that they were finally expelling this alien, they were lucky not to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
"I'll give you one day to pack your things and leave the Li family."
After saying this, Mr. Li and Mrs. Li left the living room.
The others looked at each other, and finally left the living room in twos and threes. Some of those who were on good terms naturally gathered together and talked about Li Jingming being kicked out of the Li family.
Finally, Li Jingming was the only one left standing in the living room, looking distraught.
After a moment, as if he had thought of something, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the study.
Mr. Li and Mrs. Li were talking in the study when they heard a knock on the door.
The two looked at each other and saw a hint of understanding in each other's eyes.
Sure enough, under their gaze, the study door was opened and Li Jingming walked in from outside.
Seeing that the person coming was Li Jingming, the two were not surprised at all. They continued to sit there calmly without even raising their eyelids.
"Grandfather, grandmother--" Li Jingming had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Grandpa Li.
"You're addressing me wrongly." Old Master Li raised his hand to stop Li Jingming. "Just now, I told you that you've been kicked out of the Li family. Now you're no longer a member of the Li family. I'm not your grandfather, so don't address me wrongly."
Li Jingming's face was full of disbelief. He didn't expect that Mr. Li was so cruel that he wouldn't even let her call him by his name.
However, thinking of the purpose of his visit this time, he still tried to suppress his inner anger. He took a deep breath and spoke, "Old man, old lady, I just want to ask you, why did you kick me out of the house? Just based on a few words from Zhong Nianyao, are you going to treat your own grandson like this?"
"Then let me ask you, have you ever hired someone to kill someone?" Old Master Li looked at Li Jingming intently, his aura radiating outward, making the atmosphere in the room feel a bit oppressive. "Tell me the truth, and don't tell a single lie."
Li Jingming raised his head, wanting to deny it with all his heart. However, as soon as he saw Mr. Li's eyes that seemed to see through everything, all the words on his lips stopped.
However, thinking that he was about to be kicked out of the house, he could only try hard to control his inner panic. He didn't dare to meet the old man's eyes at all. He gritted his teeth and said, "No, I didn't do anything."
Hearing Li Jingming's denial, Old Man Li's face was filled with disappointment. He shook his head and said, "Li Jingming, if you stood here and honestly admitted what you had done, I might still respect you as a man. As expected, you don't have an ounce of the integrity of our Li family. I'm afraid you inherited your inherent bad nature from your mother, who had such low moral character!"
"Grandpa," Li Jingming cried out, "Why don't you believe me? I'm your grandson! How can you treat me like this just because of a few words from outsiders?"
"Li Jingming, I'll tell you the truth!" Old Master Li said, "You were able to hire someone to kill Zhong Nianyao today, so can you do the same to your brothers tomorrow?"
"I can't!" Li Jingming denied subconsciously.
"There's no need to deny it," Old Man Li raised his hand. "Only you know what you're thinking. We don't know. And, there's another very important point: you're both vicious and stupid."
"You underestimate Zhong Nianyao and think too highly of yourself, so you think that no one will know what you did. It is impossible for our Li family to stand against Zhong Nianyao for you. Because -"
When he said this, Mr. Li's sharp eyes fell on Li Jingming, "You are not worth that."
When he heard the last part, Li Jingming couldn't believe his ears.
Because he could hear from Mr. Li's words that he admired and valued Zhong Nian Yao, and he also realized a fact, that is, in Mr. Li's eyes, Zhong Nian Yao's status was much higher than his.
He simply couldn't accept this fact.
"Don't think you're smarter than anyone else in this world." Old Master Li continued, "Zhong Nianyao isn't as simple as you appear. In her eyes, your so-called hired murder is nothing more than a petty act, something not worthy of public display."
Li Jingming looked at Mr. Li, his eyes full of disbelief.
Obviously, he was unwilling to believe what Mr. Li said.
"That's all I have to say." Old Master Li shook his head. "There's no need for you to continue here. Now that I've made my decision, there's absolutely no way I can change it."
"From now on, you'll just have to take care of yourself!"
"Get out!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and let Li Jingming leave.
Not getting the result he wanted, Li Jingming left with a distraught look on his face.
