While Lisa was busy at admiring her father in law, Ruhan was sulking. There was nothing he could say to refute his father.
When he saw the smile on her face, his anger finally erupted. If his parents weren't present here, he would have already given her piece of his mind.
Mr. Ahmed noticed the changes of expressions on Ruhan's face and knew that half of his goal was already achieved. He just needed to give a little push.
"Do you really feel that this arrangement is unfair?", he asked Ruhan.
"Of course it is unfair", Ruhan declared, "she has done nothing for this family. She also hasn't contributed to these properties. If I don't deserve these properties, so doesn't she. We should just return them to mom".
Ruhan was not stupid. If these properties go to Lisa, he would have no hope to recover them. But his mother was different. He knew how much she doted on him. She would transfer these properties back to him today or tomorrow.
Lisa gritted her teeth. She didn't like the way Ruhan talked about her. She is a qualified businesswoman ok? She was maintaining LiCorp and prevented it from being bankrupt pretty well until Ruhan deliberately targeted her. Why did he make her seem like she was a gold digger?
Lisa immediately retorted, " I don't want your property anyway. My parents taught me to work hard and earn my own money. I don't feel comfortable using money that was not earned by me and leeching of others."
However, after sprouting nonsense, she immediately regretted. How could she forget that she was not in her home now. This was Ruhan's territory. All of them are his relatives. No matter who was wrong, they would always support him.
Moreover, she was a newly wed daughter in law. No one would support a newlywed wife insulting her husband like that.
Lisa could not help but cry without tears, 'There goes my image of a perfect, well-behaved daughter in law!'
She snuck a peek at her mother in law and grandmother. Mrs. Ahmed seemed to be displeased. But grandmother was indifferent. As expected from lady Hitler. No one can guess her mind.
How could she be this unlucky?!!
Ruhan didn't understand what was going on in Lisa's mind. "You..." he was so angry that he became tongue tied. He was using his father's money. How dare this damn girl compare him to a leech?
He looked at his father, hoping that he would retort. Afterall he was his firstborn son. He would not support an outsider (Lisa) over him..right?
But it was his wishful thinking. Mr. Ahmed didn't seem to be displeased with Lisa's remark. Rather, he seemed to support her.
"A man should earn his own money. You are a married man now. You can not depend on other", Mr. Ahmed ruthlessly declared that he would not give Ruhan anymore pocket money.
"Uncle, we will accept your arrangement ", Lisa smiled amiably. She didn't give Ruhan any chance to protest.
Most of the time Ruhan would abuse his money to buy his victim's silence. A huge portion of his money was also utilized to bribe the higher ups and police offices. Cutting of his source of money means cutting of his ways of retreat. Let's see how arrogant you can be without your father's money supporting you!!!
Ruhan gritted his teeth and tried to suppress his anger. He couldn't lose his control now. Not in presence of his father and lady Hitler. He vowed that he would teach Lisa a good lesson when they are alone.
"Then...what about these properties?", Ruhan asked carefully as he looked at the file in Lisa's hand. If he could keep them, then money wouldn't be any problem.
"You will accompany Lisa tomorrow with our lawyer to transfer the properties to her", Mr. Ahmed was firm on his decision.
In fact, he carefully selected the properties. All of them had highest annual income.
The reason was simple- to control Ruhan. He understood very well that his threats of disowning him and cutting of his pocket money were treated as airs. Simply become this brat Ruhan had other sources of income. However, he couldn't interfere as these properties belonged to his wife.
What Mr. Ahmed disliked most was someone challenging his authority. Even if the one challenging was his own son. If he didn't utilize this occasion to cut off his wings, could he still be considered an old fox?
This time, Mrs. Ahmed also couldn't oppose him. Afterall when she got married, she also received good sum of denmohor from her husband. All she could do was watch her husband stripping her son off his money and power.
How could she not understand her husband's intention? But still she couldn't say anything. If she had to blame anyone, she can only blame herself that she didn't raise her son well.
"Dad, you already cut off my pocket money. Now you are also taking away my properties. Are you trying to turn me into a pauper? ". Ruhan really couldn't understand his father's logic.
" You don't deserve these properties", Mr. Ahmed said mercilessly. "You don't value them. Lisa is an experienced businesseswoman. She can manage them properly. "
"Is that so? Then how about it..give me six months. If I don't prove myself worthy and do not increase the profit of these business. You can give them to Lisa",
Ruhan had already reached his limit. He had suffered from enough humiliation. Each and every time his father would compare him to other young businessmen and point out how incompetent he was!
But now, when he was compared to a girl, whom he had always looked down upon, how could he tolerate it? He would never accept that he would lose to a girl.
Lisa saw interaction between the father and son and frowned. Why did it seem like this was the outcome Mr. Ahmed always wanted?
