"Fine, fine, fine! You're all masters here, and I'm just a lowly servant, aren't I? Can't I just steer clear if I can't afford to offend you?"
Xiao Wan laughed angrily, pointing at everyone and saying, "I'll move today! I want to see who you're going to prey on after I'm gone!"
At these words, everyone started to panic."
They all thought that since the Xiao Family had been living in this area for generations, they couldn't possibly move away from their homeland!
But they never thought about how excessive the things they were doing really were!
"What do we do? If Xiao Wan leaves, we won't make any money!"
"Damn it! I quit my job to take these photos of her, and now she's saying she's moving away, what am I supposed to do, starve?"
"But we can't just tie her up, can we?"
"Screw it, Xiao Wan really isn't human, all she had to do was help us earn some money off her fame. Look at her dilly-dallying!"
Just as this group was in a heated discussion, unsure of what to do, the man who had led the intrusion into the house that morning stepped forward again.
He staggered to the front of the crowd, a fierce smirk on his face, and said, "You can move however you like, but remember, Xiao Wan, your grandfather is buried in Xishan! Do you have the heart to move him too?"
With these words, not only Xiao Wan but also everyone present changed their expression.
Was this bastard really going to mess with Xiao Family's ancestral graves?
"You, you, you!"
Shaking with rage, Xiao Wan pointed at the drunken man, yelling, "How did my father treat everyone here? Don't you have a conscience? When there was a funeral or wedding at anyone's house, didn't my father help out? Now you're talking about disturbing the rest of my grandfather, where is your conscience?!"
"To hell with conscience, you're cutting off my livelihood, I can't afford to care about that!"
The drunkard dismissed with a wave of his hand, "Xiao Wan, if you want to be a filial son, tell your daughter to cooperate in the future, otherwise, hmph!"
"Is this thought only in your head, or does everyone share it?!"
Xiao Wan asked in a mournful tone, "Li Shuheng, when your son fell sick in the middle of the night and couldn't get a ride, wasn't it my grandfather who personally took him to the hospital and even advanced the medical fees? Sun Li, when you were being brutally beaten by your husband, wasn't it my grandfather who helped you escape and even fought for your son's custody?
Ren Qizhi, your father was friends with my grandfather for half their lives! When your father passed away, my grandfather helped out every way he could, even standing vigil through the night! Have you forgotten all that?"
"Is there anyone here who can stand up and say their family hasn't received my grandfather's kindness? Now, for a bit of money, you just throw away your integrity??"
Before Xiao Wan could speak, her assistant's eyes changed; that's right, Wan's cousin was the big boss of Tianyu. If such a big shot said he had no connections, no one would believe it!
The excited assistant said, "Madam, I think that's a good idea!"
With determination, Xiao Wan made a call to Song Yun.
When she heard Song Yun's voice, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Her crying was startling to Song Yun; nowadays, with Tianyu covering for Xiao Wan, how could her cousin possibly be bullied in her own film crew?
But soon, Xiao Wan recounted the whole sequence of events to Song Yun.
After listening, Song Yun's eyes involuntarily narrowed with anger.
Why should others pay for you leeches, who rely on your own efforts and luck to climb to high positions?
Thinking to make money off my family's Little Wan too? Dream on! When I get to Forty-Nine City, none of you will escape!
But because Father Ye planned to host a banquet for some big shots tonight, concerning the confrontation with the Zhuang family, Song Yun could only book the earliest flight for tomorrow morning.
After hanging up the call, Song Yun clenched his fists and sent a message to Lu Guan, instructing him to have the security department guard the Xiao Family throughout the night and to send additional manpower to watch over Old Master Xiao's tomb to prevent anyone from actually doing something despicable.
"What's wrong? You look sick."
Ye Qingqing reached out to smooth Song Yun's furrowed brow.
Song Yun sighed and reluctantly told her about Xiao Wan's recent experiences.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingqing's eyes emanated a coldness: "I'll come with you tomorrow. I really want to see who would dare to be so audacious!"
The two exchanged glances, each discerning the worry deep in the other's eyes.
"Son-in-law, the master asks you to come to the study,"
the butler knocked on Ye Qingqing's boudoir and said from outside the door.
Song Yun made his way to the study and upon opening the door, saw his father-in-law unusually lighting a cigar.
"Dad, what did you want to see me about?"
"I had originally planned to invite a bigwig from within Magic Capital's system tonight, but he just told me something came up and he couldn't make it. Sigh, there's no need to wonder, it must be the Nangong Family pulling strings behind the scenes!"
