Chapter 436 - On the Verge of Bankruptcy (2/2)

He suddenly pulled a long face and started to reprimand Li Manni. ”What exactly did you say to him? Why isn't he here? Is he going to look on while our company collapsed? How will it benefit you if we become beggars?”

Li Manni rested a hand on her stomach. She was beginning to be unhappy with her father's reproaches.

”Dad, he's out on a business trip. Where do I go to look for him?”

She didn't respond kindly. ”Is it my fault that the company has landed in such a state? You will only go to him when something is wrong. Why don't you try and run your company better? You didn't have Chu Lui in the past. Don't tell me you can't operate a company without him.”

This was what she disliked about her family. They depended on Chu Lui on everything and used his name, too. Without Chu Lui, was their company going to fail? Now that things had gone wrong, how was it her fault?

What about her older brother? He was part of the Li family, too. As a member of the family, why wasn't he doing anything? To think that she, a daughter who was already married to another, was trying to find a solution for them… what did they think she was? Would Chu Lui listen to her?

Weren't they even the least concerned or worried about her current situation?

Li Manni could care less. Her attitude was one of repulsion, and it caused her father to be irate. Mr. Li gave her a tight and loud slap across her face. ”Li Manni, do you think you are that great? You are rejecting your own family now that you are married into the Chu family. You don't want your parents? Who do you think brought you up? Has your conscience been eaten by the dogs?”

”Li, you old fool. You dare to hit my daughter?” Mrs. Li ran straight at him. Her body slammed into Mr. Li as she shouted, ”I'll fight it out with you. You dare to hit my daughter!” Mrs. Li was vexed beyond herself. The thought of her humiliating photographs had been weighing on her. If she didn't release her frustration, she would go crazy. Mr. Li was unlucky to have let her witnessed his actions.

Li Manni stood aside. Suddenly, she could feel herself going dizzy. What exactly had happened? Why had her family become like this? The atmosphere was foul, and it was hard to breathe.

She turned around, pulled the door open, and left. Whatever happened inside was none of her business. There was still her older brother. Since he wasn't caring, why should she—a daughter—care?

Mr. and Mrs. Li were exchanging blows, and both of them smashed everything in the Li family's living room. It was out of Li Manni's hands. Li Manxuan coped himself in his room as his face twisted with frustration. Whatever happened outside—whatever happened to his parents, he had nothing to do with it.

Mr. Li felt remorse after he slapped Li Manni. He was simply too fl.u.s.tered and exasperated by what was happening in the company that he lost his mind and slapped his daughter. Moreover, now that his company was in such a predicament, it would be the end of the Li family if he didn't have his daughter and his son-in-law.

The next day, he brought some gifts and went personally to visit Li Manni. Actually, it was not so much as to see Li Manni and more of whether he could see Chu Lui. With the way things were, it was time for Chu Lui's intervention.

However, he was unaware that whatever was happening to his family and company was the making of Chu Lui.
