Chapter 408 - Tearing at Each Other (2/2)

As she finished, she picked up her bag, intending to leave. However, she turned around and reached out to slap Li Manni across her face in return. Then, she gloated, ”Gosh, I almost forgot. That's so typical of me. When someone gives me an inch; I give a foot back. If someone had the gall to offend me, I will return the favor a hundredfold. Now, I'm only returning you what you just gave me. That's your gain.”

After she slapped Li Manni, she sashayed her way to the door. When she walked past Li Manxuan, she paused; but her eyes were not on him. Instead, she was looking at Chu Lui's face, flirting.

”I will be seeing you again.” With those meaningful words, she opened the door and left like a gust of wind. It blew at her audience, and they shuddered.

What was supposed to be a family gathering had turned into a scandal. That's just great.

Mrs. Li was comforting Li Manni and, at the same time, cursing Xu Shiyang at full blast.

Li Manxuan felt as though a small field of glossy green had sprouted at the top of his head. He wished he could pull all his hair out and become bald. On the other hand, his father was trying to carry on a halfhearted conversation with Chu Lui in embarrassment. However, he soon gave up as he lost track of what he had been saying. It was so ridiculous that he found he couldn't go on.

Chu Lui looked at the ceiling above him. It wasn't a full tilt, and he wasn't deep in his thoughts. He just felt exhausted.

When they went home, he was exceptionally quiet while Li Manni who had been slapped earlier was still fuming with a grievance.

”Chu Lui, I was slapped!” She suddenly started screaming at Chu Lui.

He stopped the car by the side while he took out his cigarette intending to light one. In the end, he tossed the cigarette away.

”You slapped her, too.”

”That's because she deserved it.” Li Manni was holding her hands in a death grip. ”Chu Lui, your wife had been slapped. Are you going to keep quiet about it?”

”Mmm.” Chu Lui merely raised an eyebrow. ”What do you want me to do?”

”Crush the Xu family. Let her suffer for the rest of her life. I want her to sleep on the streets and be a beggar. Let's see how arrogant can she be then.” Li Manni could visualize Xu Shiyang begging on the streets in broad daylight, living in poverty. She smiled at the crazy thought.

”They have business dealings with your family.” Chu Lui's voice was emotionless like the dark and silent night.

”The collaboration for one contract is two years. If her family went down, so will yours. Do you still want to crush them?”

Chu Lui asked Li Manni. The contract from the Xu family had initially been his. However, the Li family had taken it away without informing him. Mr. Li had used everything to gain that two-year contract. A Xu family was nothing to Chu Lui, and he wouldn't do anything rashly. If he were to take over their company, it would only benefit him. He wouldn't be at a disadvantage. Yet, if the Xu family's company really went bankrupt, they would be sending the Li family to him as a gift. It was 'buy one, free one' deal. Chu Lui wouldn't suffer a loss, but would Li Manni and her family be able to?

True enough, that shut Li Manni up for good. There was no further mention of the Xu family. This was a loss that she would have to suffer in silence. Now, should she be hating Chu Lui for not taking her side or her parents and her brother for leaving themselves wide open to an attack? In fact, she couldn't even lay a finger on that person.
