Chapter 412 Paper Tiger
It was not until I walked out of the Xia family's old house that I couldn't help but shed tears.
She no longer has a mother's home or anyone to rely on.
At the same time, she also understood her father's approach, because the Xia family was not just her and her daughter.
We can’t let our whole family be ruined because of their willfulness.
She has no regrets about the choice she made, and everything is worth it for her daughter.
She could also imagine the difficulties her career would face in the future. She could even imagine the studio facing bankruptcy.
She can accept all these things. She is also somewhat famous internationally. If she can't make it in China in the future, she will take her daughter abroad.
I have to say that she has thought of a way out, but unfortunately, I'm afraid things won't go as she planned.
"Grandpa, are you okay?" Xia Yunnuo asked with concern when he saw the old man sitting in the study in a daze since his aunt left.
"Yunnuo, go and take care of your own thing. Grandpa is fine and just wants to be alone!" Old Master Xia sighed and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
Let’s go. It’s better to go so that there won’t be any more trouble later.
Of course, Xia Jingyan's behavior also broke his heart. She was the daughter he had spoiled since she was a child, but he didn't expect that she was such an ungrateful person.
What's the point of having a daughter like this? She doesn't help the family at all, but instead allows her daughter to be the number one troublemaker.
Fortunately, my husband passed away early, otherwise I would have been heartbroken.
The next day, the old man of the Xia family came to apologize in person.
He said that he had severed ties with Xia Jingyan and her daughter, and that if they committed any crimes in the future, they would no longer have to worry about the Xia family's reputation and could just let them deal with it.
The old couple and Li Guoer didn't make things difficult for him. Since they had already been expelled from the clan, what was there to be embarrassed about?
Just hold the person who caused the trouble accountable.
After watching Grandpa Xia leave, Li Guoer looked at Grandpa Zhou with sparkling eyes: "Grandpa, you are amazing! This result is really similar to the one you analyzed yesterday!"
After returning yesterday, they also discussed this issue, and grandpa said that either they would be disciplined according to family rules, or they would be expelled from the clan.
As expected, I just heard what Mr. Xia said, these are also the two options.
Unexpectedly, Xia Jingyan actually chose to expel the clan. For someone like Xia Youyou who is snobbish and self-righteous, the bankruptcy of her studio would be the beginning of her hard days.
After receiving praise from his granddaughter, Mr. Zhou felt sweeter than eating candy, and his beard almost stood up to the sky with pride.
"Of course, don't you see who I am, old man? I'm naturally very smart and very brave!"
Li Guoer giggled, "Yes, it's my honor to have such an amazing grandpa!"
I never thought that my grandfather could be so narcissistic and childish.
Mr. Zhou asked again: "Do we still need to take action to deal with the mother and daughter?"
Li Guoer blinked her eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "I don't think there's any need to dirty our hands. As long as the news of their expulsion from the clan gets out, there will be plenty of people to deal with them! The mother and daughter are now like toothless paper tigers, anyone can take a bite!"
She didn't believe that Xia Jingyan had no competitors or enemies over the years.
These people alone are enough to make her suffer! Why should they interfere?
Otherwise, people will say that my grandfather’s family is petty and vindictive, and will kill people just because they are scolded.
She didn't care. Her grandfather's family still had to stay in the imperial capital, so reputation was very important.
"Okay, I'll do as you say!" Old Master Zhou sighed inwardly, his granddaughter was so considerate and insightful.
It would have been easy for her to deal with the mother and daughter, but now she stopped taking action entirely for the sake of the Zhou family. She was naturally deeply touched.
If you can't do it openly, you can still create obstacles and add fuel to the fire in secret.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm going to the legion to see Xiao Tianyu and then go back to Lijia Village!" Li Guoer said goodbye to her grandparents. The Chinese New Year was the day after tomorrow, and she had already bought clothes, so it was time for her to go back.
"Don't you want to stay at grandma's house for the New Year?" Old Mrs. Zhou tried to persuade her to stay, looking reluctant.
"No, we'll go to pay New Year's greetings to grandpa and grandma after the New Year. You must prepare red envelopes!" Li Guoer looked like a money-grubber, which made the two elders laugh.
Old Mrs. Zhou raised her hand and tapped her little head, saying lovingly, "Little money-grubber! Don't worry, grandma will definitely prepare a big red envelope for you!"
Her little girl Guoer has been missing a New Year's red envelope for more than 20 years, so she has to make up for it this time.
Carrying the things that her grandparents prepared for the home, Li Guoer turned a corner and went to Grandpa Xiao's house before leaving the compound.
When she left, her family told her not to forget to send New Year gifts to Mr. Xiao's family and Xiao Tianyu's family.
Someone sent the New Year gifts to her home before she returned home from abroad.
She had called before coming, and when she arrived at the Xiao family's yard, the old couple were already waiting at the door.
After Old Lady Xiao and the others got out of the car, they walked up to her, took her hand, and asked with a smile, "When did Xiao Guozi come to the capital?"
"Grandpa Xiao, Grandma Xiao, hello! I was here yesterday!" After saying hello, Li Guoer withdrew her hand and started moving things out of the trunk.
"Oh, why did you bring so many things again? Your grandpa Xiao and I are in for a treat!" Old Mrs. Xiao grinned and sighed in her heart that the Li family was too polite.
As long as they send something, people will quickly reciprocate without taking advantage of them.
"They are all produced at home. It's fine as long as you don't mind!" Li Guoer replied politely.
The things the Xiao family sent were not bad. We can’t just accept them without returning them. Who would be willing to have contact with them in the future?
Relationships and etiquette can only last if there is give and take.
"Look at what you are saying, kid. No one else can buy the things in your family, so how could we dislike them? We are the ones who are getting a great deal!" Old Mrs. Xiao sighed.
The gifts her family sent were quite nice, but the return gift from the Li family was something that not many people could ask for.
Now, which family in the compound doesn’t envy her family and the Zhou family, who often eat or use things from the Li family?
Both she and the old man's health have improved a lot since they started using the Li family's products.
The old pains and discomforts that I used to suffer from are gone.
Even her brother, a high-ranking official, comes to her house every day to eat and drink for free! No one else can compare!
She was sincerely grateful to the Li family, and the old man also kept saying that Xiaoyu had good taste and was good at finding a wife.
"I'm glad you like it. Call me when you run out of it and I'll send you another one!" Li Guoer responded readily.
It can be seen that the two elders really like the products of the family.
"Okay! Don't feel bad when the time comes!" Old Mrs. Xiao joked while helping to move things.
"How could that be possible! Why would you feel bad about your own child?"
Li Guoer didn't care too much about this. After her space expanded, she produced more things, which piled up into a mountain.
How much can the two elders use? But they only say polite words, and if they really call and ask for it, it is impossible!
After moving everything, Li Guoer said goodbye.
