He opened his eyes wide and looked at Huang Fei with a look of disbelief on his face. His gray eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and his wrinkled face was trembling slightly, as if he was deeply hit by Huang Fei's arrogant arrogance.
At this moment, he understood all of Huang Fei's thoughts. On the surface, Huang Fei seemed calm, and his words were even more understated, but it was self-evident that his ambition was so great.
With the Hu family's deep strength in Yanjing, it is hard to find an opponent. Coupled with Huang Fei's unique identity, and on the other hand, he has formed a close cooperative relationship with the Jiang family. It can be said that Huang Fei is now completely in Yanjing.
He can turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain. There are not many forces that can rival him.
Now he is still not satisfied, and wants to bring the Li family under his control and completely become his subsidiary tool. Does he want to fight for the king and hegemony in Yanjing?
If Huang Fei's request is agreed to, then the Li family will no longer be the Li family from now on. They will lose their sovereignty and have to take orders from others. In this way, the honor that the Li family has maintained for many years will be destroyed. How can such a thing be done?
Can Li Zhong accept it?
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Li Zhong flatly rejected Huang Fei's request and waved his hand: "Impossible. Our Li family has always been independent and arbitrary. How can we be vassal to others? I cannot agree to your request."
Hearing this, Huang Fei was not upset. He shrugged indifferently and said with a smile: "In this case, we have nothing to talk about. I think many people are happy to see such a result. Maybe there are already many
A few people are planning how to carve up this big piece of meat for the Li family. As soon as I walk out of this hotel, I think someone will spread the news immediately, and then the Li family may be really in trouble."
After a pause, he curled his lips helplessly and said with a smile: "That's all for today, I'll take a step first. Goodbye!"
Li Zhong was very surprised by Huang Fei's sudden decision to leave, but after thinking about it, he hesitated and could not make a decision immediately, so he just frowned and looked at Huang Fei silently without any expression for a while.
Seeing Li Zhong like this, Huang Fei shook his head helplessly and smiled. He didn't stay any longer, stood up and turned around to leave...
"Wait a minute, Mr. Huang... you can't just leave like this!"
Seeing that the conversation broke down and Huang Fei left immediately, Li Yi was really anxious now and quickly stood up and tried to persuade him to stay.
If Huang Fei really gives up, then it is conceivable that the Li family will never be able to turn around in the future. Naturally, the promises Huang Fei once made will not be fulfilled, and his own future will be ruined here.
How could he not be anxious about his own interests and future?
Huang Fei had long expected that Li Yi would not sit idly by and ignore him. He was just pretending. When he heard the call, he immediately stopped, turned around and looked at Li Yi and said, "Master Li, you saw it too, it wasn't me.
I’m not willing to help, but the old man is stubborn and there’s really nothing I can do. If I insist on staying, I’ll just make people uncomfortable, so it’s better to just leave.”
"Although I am easy to talk to, I am not ignorant of practical matters. If there are some things that cannot go on, I will not force them, let alone force others to agree. You can do whatever you want...I'm leaving."
"Master Huang, please wait a moment...how about giving me a minute?" Li Yi looked troubled, but his eyes were sincere.
Huang Fei looked at Li Yi's anxious look, then glanced at Li Zhong, who had an indifferent expression, sighed and nodded, and said, "Okay. As a friend, I don't want to embarrass you, so I'll give you one more minute."
Then, he stood there waiting for the final result.
"Thank you." After receiving Huang Fei's approval, Li Yi felt relieved.
Li Zhong was completely aware of Huang Fei's hypocritical performance, but he couldn't do anything about it. Because the truth was so cruel. In the past, it was always others who asked for help from the Li family. Unexpectedly, many years later, the Li family would not be able to do anything about it.
Bao, he would lose to a young man with no name in the past.
It's so suffocating.
"Grandpa, how about you listen to me?" Li Yi sat down, looked at Li Zhong solemnly, and said: "The Li family is different from the past. We have been forced to the edge of the cliff and cannot retreat... The only thing now is
The life-saving rope is right in front of us, why should we abandon it?"
"If you think about it carefully, when our Li family gained power, we had already offended many people. At that time, they did not dare to move because we were powerful. Now that we are declining, why don't they take the opportunity to retaliate against us? Although you know many people
People of the older generation, but when they see the Li family's current situation of being besieged on all sides, they will inevitably have scruples for their own benefit, why should we do such useless work?"
After a pause, he saw that Li Zhong was silent and seemed to be hesitating, so he continued: "If we depend on the Hu family, it seems that we have lost our previous pride and dignity, but from another perspective
Thinking about it from another perspective, the Hu family is now at its peak, and coupled with Huang Fei's own power, the future situation can be imagined."
"We are looking for a strong backer. This is not a shameful thing. Not only can it preserve the strength of our Li family, but when the Hu family becomes stronger in the future, won't our Li family also follow the same rise? Attaching ourselves to the Hu family is the general trend.
It's not a failure, it's our choice to let go of our vision. I believe there will be more powerful reasons to seek refuge in the big tree of the Hu family in the future, why don't we take the opportunity to get a title first?"
"..." Li Zhong was speechless.
He originally wanted to scold Li Yi for his treason, but he actually gave up the honor and pride that the Li family had maintained for many years to please the enemy. Is he still a member of the Li family?
Where does the idea of glory come from living under someone else's roof?
However, after he calmed down and thought about it, Li Yi was indeed right. The current situation is like this. The Li family is surrounded by dangers from all sides. How many people can really dare to jump out and help?
He clearly knew that this was the reality, but he just couldn't reconcile himself to it. Could it be that the Li family was really just making wedding clothes for others, and could only feel wronged by others?
Another thing that he couldn't let go of was that he had rejected Huang Fei's request just now, and now he was asked to put down his old face and ask Huang Fei again. Even if he was killed, he would not be able to do such a shameful thing.
Also, if you sincerely submit to the Hu family, who can guarantee that the Hu family will not interfere with it in the future, completely divide the rights of the Li family, and make the Li family completely a puppet. If this is the case, it is better to fight to the death.
Become someone else's accessory.
"Grandpa, I believe Huang Fei will not completely deprive the Li family of their rights." Li Yi seemed to know what Li Zhong was thinking, and quickly comforted him: "Now that he is here, we can discuss the details with him in person."
After finishing speaking, Li Yi looked back at Huang Fei and nodded gently without any trace.
"Yes, I can guarantee this." Huang Fei took the opportunity to give Li Zhong a sedative and said: "As long as the Li family submits to the Hu family, then we have a cooperative relationship. The Hu family will not completely dominate everything in the Li family. You
You have the right to express yourself. Naturally, when we gain benefits, the Li family will naturally benefit as well. This is a win-win situation."
He smiled and nodded gently at Li Yi to express his appreciation for him. This boy is getting better and better at doing things, and he seems to be a rare helper.
Although Li Yi has become a lot smarter recently, he does not pose any threat to Huang Fei at all, because he has too many handles on Li Yi, and now if Li Yi wants to live a prosperous life, he must rely on Huang Fei, a big tree.
In terms of their respective interests, Li Yi would not be stupid enough to shoot himself in the foot.
Li Zhong glanced at Huang Fei lightly, then lowered his head and thought silently, as if he was considering Huang Fei's opinion.
After a long pause, Li Zhong suddenly sighed heavily, with a somewhat helpless tone.
"It seems that I am really old." Li Zhong raised his head and looked at Li Yi quietly for a moment, his eyes were a little decadent, and said in a deep voice: "Perhaps all of us have misjudged you from the beginning. You have your own cleverness.
You also have your own judgment and understanding. But because you were not born in the same family and lost your parents at an early age, everyone thinks you are just a child who spends all day drinking and not thinking about progress."
"Judging from recent events, you seem to have your own plans. Unfortunately, that kid Jiang He never discovered this, which led to his dismal ending and even his life."
His tone was heavy and his expression was sad. He suddenly lost all his previous sharpness and stubbornness, giving the impression that he was an old man who was unable to survive in his old age.
Hearing this, Li Yi was secretly shocked.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa." Li Yi bowed his head and apologized with a guilty conscience. It seemed that everything could not be hidden from Li Zhong's eyes. He was completely aware of all the facts that others saw on the surface, which could not help but shock people.
"I don't blame you." Li Zhong looked calm, stretched out his hand to pat Li Yi's arm, and said: "It's all because our Li family usually pays too little education and attention to you. Maybe today's results are all due to fate.
That’s all.”
He waved his hand helplessly and said: "Today I hand over the Li family to you. It is up to you how the Li family will go from now on. The future road will be walked by you young people, and I will no longer participate in anything."
It’s over. I can no longer afford to lose my old face. I’ll still live out my old age in peace and contentment. You guys can fight on yourselves!”
"Grandpa." Li Yi was very moved, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"That's it for today." Li Zhong patted Li Yi's arm again and said, "After I go back, I will announce this matter to the outside world, complete all the procedures, and then hand over all the shares and properties of the Li family to
You, I will wait and see how far you can take the Li family."
After finishing speaking, he sighed again, patted his knees and stood up. Li Yi quickly stood up and supported his arm. He waved his hand and said: "I can go back by myself. You young people can stay and talk about the rest. I won't talk about it anymore."
Got involved in this matter."
He didn't stop and walked straight to the door.
He did not go to Huang Fei personally, but simply left the problem to Li Yi.
On the one hand, he can keep his old face, and on the other hand, he doesn't need to worry about the Li family's problems.
When passing by Huang Fei, he paused for a moment, turned his head to Huang Fei and said, "Please say hello to Hu Tiannan for me. He has an amazing son."
Huang Fei was stunned for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, saying: "I will do it. Many people have said this, including me." dd
