News Exposed

Wasn’t the reason why Grandma, Eldest Uncle, and Second Uncle dared to bully the people from their third branch so much because of the tacit approval of the head of the Li family?

“Li Xiaoran, let go of your grandma! Do you care about your reputation? Do you still want to get married in the future?” Sr. Li scolded with a straight face.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed.

“Married? In that case, you’re planning to let Li Yan marry the hunter? There’s no need to force me to marry him!”

As soon as she said this, a trace of frustration flashed across Sr. Li’s eyes.

He was so angry that he forgot about something like this.

Li Yan also walked out of the room at this moment and said with a smile, “Little Ran, don’t spout nonsense. Aren’t you the one who’s going to marry Luo Cheng? Don’t spout nonsense! I really didn’t expect that you would drag me down with you!”

When Sr. Li heard this, he seemed to have thought of something and said, “That’s right. You’re the one who’s going to marry Luo Cheng. Don’t talk about others. It seems that your grandma was right just now. Third Brother, you have to educate your two daughters well today. All of them like to lie. If you don’t discipline them, they’ll ruin the reputation of the Li family in the future!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, he wasn’t angry but laughed.

“Great! You’re indeed our good grandpa and grandma! One of you said that my sister was lying right off the bat, and the other falsely accused me. Grandpa, you’re good at scheming, but have you forgotten who Luo Cheng wants to marry? You all know very well. You can spout nonsense to fool others, but can you fool Luo Cheng? How can he not know if Luo Cheng wants Li Yan or me, Li Xiaoran?”

The expressions of the Li family changed when they heard this.

That’s right. This was indeed what the Li family was worried about.

The Li family hadn’t said anything about this previously because they wanted Li Xiaoran to marry in her place. Anyway, after he married her, the Li family would insist that they heard Luo Cheng say that he wanted to marry Li Xiaoran. At that point, the tiger bone would already be in their hands. It would be useless for Luo Cheng to regret it.

However, they didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to hit the wall.

Not only did she hit her head against the wall, but her granddaughter, who was originally taciturn, seemed to have gone crazy and revealed this matter in front of everyone.

How should they fix this now?

Thinking of this, Sr. Li glared at Li Shun angrily, his eyes filled with blame.

“Look at you. Your good daughter is so disobedient to her elders! Go discipline her. Today, I have to educate her well so that she won’t be obnoxious and embarrass the Li family when she gets married in the future!”

Seeing this situation, Li Xiaoran felt disappointed.

This was a so-called family!

At this moment, Li Xiaoran didn’t move. She wanted to see what her biological parents would do.

Seeing that her sister was about to suffer, Li Xiaoqing quickly rushed out.

“You can’t hit my sister. My sister just hit her head. Grandpa, are you trying to kill her by hitting her again? I know Grandpa and Grandma have never liked the two of us, and don’t even like my father and mother, but we really didn’t do anything wrong! We just came back from the mountains and haven’t even taken a break when Li Yuan said that we stole food outside. Everyone, take a look. Do my sister and I look like people who steal food?”

When the surrounding onlookers heard Li Xiaoqing’s words, they carefully sized up the Li family’s sisters and then looked at Li Yan, Li Qin, and Li Yuan. All of them laughed.

“That’s right. The person who allegedly stole the food is as thin as a monkey and skin and bones. The person who didn’t steal the food is fair and tender, and her complexion is very rosy!” Qin Cui, who had long disliked the Li family, immediately chimed in.

She lived next door to the Li family and knew everything about the Li family!

To be honest, Qin Cui just couldn’t stand how biased the Li family was.

The third son of the Li family and his family had been working diligently all day, but in the end, they didn’t fare well!

“Isn’t that so? I might believe it if you say that someone else stole food outside, but I don’t believe it if you say that Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing stole food!” At this moment, Little Huzi’s grandmother also came over and defended them.

Just like that, everyone started discussing.

The Li family couldn’t hold it in anymore and hated Li Xiaoran’s family.

If not for these two girls causing a ruckus, they wouldn’t have been criticized today.

At this moment, Sr. Li looked at Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing with an even more unfriendly gaze. He thought about how he would punish such unfilial descendants after this matter was over.

“The children are insensible and have made a fool of themselves! Which family’s children aren’t naughty at times? Everyone, disperse! After all, this is the Li family’s matter!” Sr. Li said to the surrounding onlookers with a straight face.

“Is that so? Why don’t I feel that this is the Li family’s matter?” At this moment, Luo Cheng’s voice sounded.

When everyone saw that the person in question was here and there was drama to watch, they immediately made way for Luo Cheng.

At this moment, Luo Cheng pushed open the courtyard door of the Li family with a cold expression and walked in.

“Old Master Li, shouldn’t the Li family give me an explanation for this? Or is the Li family planning to give up on this tiger bone?!”

Li Xiaoran stared at Luo Cheng in surprise, not understanding why he was here.

After Luo Cheng came in, he didn’t look at Li Xiaoran but stared at Sr. Li and questioned him.

“This is a misunderstanding!” Sr. Li felt that several parts of his body were hurting even more.

He had to get the tiger bone, so this marriage had to go through.

“Oh, so your family doesn’t plan to let Li Xiaoran marry in place of Li Yan? I’m relieved!” Luo Cheng stopped Sr. Li from talking.
