Chapter 271 Flaunting



As soon as the woman uttered those words, the previously joyful atmosphere in the room instantly turned cold.

The next moment, laughter filled the room.

"Hahaha, Li Mei is right. The old lady is about to emigrate, and this beggar family has come to beg."

"If they don't come begging today, they won't have another chance in the future. Of course, they would seize this opportunity."

"Look at them, they even bought clothes just to please the old lady. Haha, the material looks so cheap, obviously fake!"

"Why did Wang Anguo and Li Han have the audacity to come here? This is an elite gathering for high-end individuals. What are these uncultured paupers doing here? They're just lowering our standards!"

"I heard that their son, Wang Baoyu, had to sell her body to get a job at the hospital. Utterly shameless!"

"That's Wang Chao, right? I heard he spent eight years abroad but ended up failing and had to come back."

"I heard from Li Chunyan that Wang Chao even worked as a gigolo abroad. He's morally corrupted!"

"They're not part of our family, yet they barge into our gathering. This whole family is a bunch of social scum, trash that has brought shame to our Li family."

Inside the private room, everyone was engaged in discussions, their gazes towards Wang Anguo's family filled with disdain, disgust, and mockery.

They even stared at Wang Chao and Wang Baoyu, scrutinizing them from head to toe.

After Li Chunyan and her husband were beaten up by Wang Chao and Zhao Kun, she felt that she had lost face and harbored deep hatred towards Wang Chao. Upon returning to the Li family in Keshan City, she spread rumors everywhere, speaking ill of Wang Chao, Wang Baoyu, and the others.

Word of mouth spread like wildfire, and tales of Wang Chao's failure abroad, working as a gigolo, and mingling in nightclubs circulated within the Li family.

Now, upon seeing Wang Chao, everyone in the Li family mocked and despised him.

Especially the elderly lady, her face darkened, and she glared at Wang Anguo's family with a look of disgust.

Hearing the voices of these people, Li Han's expression turned particularly ugly as she stared at the woman and said in a low voice, "Li Mei, our family is here to congratulate, not to beg."

The woman's name was Li Mei, Li Han's older sister.

However, their relationship had always been terrible since childhood.

When they were young, Li Mei would often snatch her toys, and if she didn't give in, Li Mei would hit her.

As they grew up, Li Mei continued to target and exclude her at every opportunity.

Especially after she married Wang Anguo and lived a difficult life, Li Mei would seize every chance to mock her whenever they met.

She still couldn't understand why Li Mei treated her this way.

The middle-aged man standing beside the elderly lady sneered, showing disdain. "Congratulate? Haha, with your financial capability, what can you use to congratulate?"

"Going back home and not causing trouble for Mom is the best congratulations you can give us."

As he spoke, he waved his hand as if shooing away a fly and impatiently said, "With your status, you're not even qualified to attend the farewell party for Mom and me immigrating. So, just get lost!"

Seeing this scene, Li Han's expression saddened, and tears swirled in her eyes.

Wang Anguo was furious and shouted, "Li Hong, what's with your attitude? She's your sister. Can't you show a bit of respect?"

"My sister? Haha, I'm sorry, but we are now citizens of the White Eagle Nation. We are no longer on the same level as you lowly citizens of the Dragon Nation."

Li Hong coldly smiled, full of arrogance, and said, "So, you can leave now."

Hearing this, Wang Anguo became even angrier and sneered, "Citizens of the White Eagle Nation? Haha, even if you go to the North Pole, deep down, you still have the blood of my Dragon Nation!"

"Just because you have a little money and some immigration card, you think you're superior and above everyone else?"

"Sorry, we have money, we can immigrate, we can leave behind this Dragon Nation pit and live a carefree and worry-free life. That's being superior. You paupers don't even have the qualifications to immigrate." Li Hong arrogantly declared.

"You!" Wang Anguo was furious.

"For an immigration card, you disown your ancestors and feel proud to become a citizen of the White Eagle Nation?" Wang Chao sneered.

"Of course, it's worth being proud of! It's something that people like you, who only know how to wash dishes in foreign restaurants and sell their bodies, can never achieve. Wang Chao, I can see that you're just envious and jealous of us."

Li Hong sneered, looking at Wang Chao with a contemptuous gaze.

He even took out the immigration card and waved it in the air, saying, "See this? This is an immigration card! It's something worthless pieces of garbage like you will never get in your entire life!"

Jealous?

Immigration card?

Wang Chao almost laughed out loud.

He had killed over a dozen White Eagle Nation warriors and countless soldiers. How could he possibly be jealous of immigrating abroad?

Where did this uncle get his confidence and sense of superiority?

Just because of an immigration card?

Wang Chao stared at Li Hong, his gaze sharp as a knife, and said coldly, "Having an immigration card means you pledge allegiance to the White Eagle Nation. When there's a war, you will point your gun at your own compatriots and kill them mercilessly!"

"In other words, if we meet on the battlefield, we will be sworn enemies who will fight to the death."

"When that time comes, I guarantee that I will take your head and make you a lifeless corpse!"

Buzz!

With those words, a tremendous killing intent emanated from Wang Chao, engulfing the entire room, causing the temperature to plummet, and everyone to feel as if they were in an icy cavern, shivering uncontrollably.

"Why is it so cold here?"

"The hotel's air conditioning is too good, isn't it? It's freezing cold."

"It's too cold. Someone quickly adjust the temperature higher."

All the guests in the room were shivering from the cold, discussing and hastily requesting for the air conditioning to be adjusted.

However, Li Hong's experience was different from others.

He was locked onto by Wang Chao's killing intent, feeling as if he were being stared down by a prehistoric beast, sending chills down his spine. His body stiffened, and his muscles became incredibly tense in that instant.

His heart felt as if it were pierced by an invisible dagger, causing excruciating pain.

He wore a pained expression, his mouth opened, but he couldn't utter a single word. Looking at Wang Chao, his eyes were filled with fear, thinking, "What's going on? What did Wang Chao do to me? Why do I feel like there's a blade hanging over my head, ready to chop off my head at any moment?"

Furthermore, how did Wang Chao know about the oath they took when they obtained the immigration card?

Seeing her brother's distressed expression, Li Mei stood up on the spot and angrily said, "Wang Chao, what nonsense are you talking about? Your uncle is a patriot, a true citizen of the Dragon Nation. How could he point a gun at our own people?"

Wang Chao sneered, staring at Li Hong, "Uncle, dare you deny that you said those words?"

Then, he looked at the grandmother, "Except for the two of you, everyone here is a citizen of the Dragon Nation."

"When you took the oath, you pledged to aim your guns at the people of the Dragon Nation during war. So, does that mean when a war breaks out, you'll aim your guns at everyone present here?"

"Grandmother, you also obtained the immigration card. Dare you say you never uttered words about killing the people of the Dragon Nation?"

The grandmother and Li Hong fell into silence immediately, their expressions grave and unpleasant.

Indeed, during the oath, they did say that they would not hesitate to kill the citizens of the Dragon Nation in the event of war.

However, in front of so many relatives, they dared not utter those words, as it would surely lead to alienation and betrayal.

After all, they still needed the support and assistance of these relatives and friends for their business in the homeland.

Li Hong coughed and hurriedly explained, "Everyone, don't listen to Wang Chao's nonsense. How could a pauper like him know about the oath taken by the White Eagle Nation?"

"We simply felt that the environment in the White Eagle Nation is better than the Dragon Nation, with fresher air. That's why we immigrated."

Wang Chao, upon hearing this, laughed sarcastically and said, "Uncle, you can immigrate and choose to live in a city you like. That's your freedom, and I have no objections."

"But when you immigrate and then turn around to call this land that raised you garbage, and the residents living on this land lowly citizens and paupers, that's where you are wrong!"

"Wang Chao, what are you trying to say?" Li Hong angrily asked.

"Enough, stop arguing!"

At this moment, the grandmother stood up, slammed the table, her face dark, and stared at Wang Anguo and Li Han with disgust, saying, "I'm glad you came to see me, and I appreciate your filial piety."

"However, this is not the place for people like you to be. Leave!"

Among the people present, only Wang Chao had been abroad.

He might have a clear understanding of the oath taken for the White Eagle Nation immigration card.

She also wanted to use the Li family's relatives and friends to earn money for herself and her son, so that they could have a better life in the White Eagle Nation.

If Wang Chao exposed everything, the situation would be unimaginable.

Therefore, she had to drive away Wang Chao's entire family.

Li Han's expression changed upon hearing her mother's words, feeling as if a heavy stone were pressing on her chest, causing great discomfort.

This was her biological mother!

This time, she came to send her mother off to another country, giving her the most valuable thing she could offer in her life as a gesture of gratitude for raising her.

But to her surprise, her grandmother actually expelled her, making her feel extremely upset, her nose tingling and her eyes turning red, almost on the verge of tears.

"If it weren't for the sake of my mom, I wouldn't have wanted to come," Wang Chao said coldly.

"Wife, let's go!" Wang Anguo also grabbed Li Han's hand, fuming with anger.

After saying that, he wanted to leave.

However, Li Han didn't leave. Instead, she broke free from Wang Anguo's hand and took out a brocade box. She approached her grandmother and said, "Mom, I know that all these years you've looked down on me, thinking that I'm worthless and that I've married an even more worthless man. You thought I would drag you down and bring you shame."

"But all these years, I've always cherished you, remembering your kindness in raising me."

"Now that you're going to settle in the White Eagle Nation, I don't have anything valuable to give."

"This jade is a gift from my son to me. I had it appraised, and it's a priceless treasure with the power to ward off evil."

"Now, I'm giving it to you, wishing you health, happiness, and prosperity in the future."

After speaking, she opened the brocade box and handed it over.

To her surprise, inside the box was the natural Guanyin jade that Wang Chao had given her.

"Mom!" Wang Chao's expression changed.

This was a spiritual stone, something he had put a lot of effort and hard work into cultivating. It had powerful effects, not only nurturing Li Han's body and prolonging her life, but it could also save her life in critical moments.

And now, Li Han wanted to give this spiritual stone to that sarcastic and mean-spirited grandmother?

Moreover, she was already a foreigner!

In the event of a war, with the grandmother's character, she might even shoot Li Han without hesitation.

"Li Han actually gave a gift? Is the sun rising from the west?" Li Mei and Li Hong exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.

After so many years, it was the first time they had ever seen Li Han give a gift.

Li Hong quickly approached and, upon seeing the Guanyin jade, was slightly stunned.

This Guanyin jade was very beautiful, naturally formed, pleasing to the eye, and clearly of high value, shaking him internally.

However, he quickly regained his composure, smirked coldly, and mocked, "Haha, Li Han, you are really willing to spend money, buying such a worthless fake jade as a gift. What do you take Mom for? Trash?"

At first glance, this Guanyin jade appeared valuable, but based on his understanding of Li Han, she could not possibly afford to buy such a precious gemstone with a high price tag.

So he concluded that this jade was fake!

"A fake jade? Li Han, you have some nerve, giving Mom fake stuff. It's disrespectful and unfilial!"

Li Mei was even angrier, glaring at Li Han and accusing her, "If this thing contains radiation, Mom could get cancer from wearing it for a long time. You are simply rebellious and malicious!"

"It's real, I have an appraisal certificate!" Li Han became anxious and quickly took out an appraisal report done by a professional organization, handing it to her grandmother.

Rip!

Her grandmother did not even look at the report, tearing it into pieces directly. Then she picked up the brocade box angrily and said, "Li Han, are you deaf? I told you to get out with your family!"

After speaking, she raised the brocade box and slammed it heavily on the ground.

The Guanyin jade statue fell out as a result.

Witnessing this scene, Wang Chao instantly became furious!

This grandmother of his treated others' good intentions as trash!

She did not know how to appreciate kindness!
