Chapter 276 Furious To The Point Of Spitting Blood
The old lady was filled with rage, her anger intensifying as she glanced at the manager and then at Li Hong, whose mouth was bleeding from the blow.
"Mom, I think there's something suspicious about this," Li Mei said with a wary expression.
"What do you mean by suspicious?"
"Wang Anguo has always been a poor wretch, living in poverty for over thirty years. He's the worst among the Wang family. How could the owner of Hilton suddenly send him so much wine? And why would he stand up for him?"
"Are you saying that Wang Anguo has become successful?"
"I don't know for sure, but even if he hasn't become successful, he might have gained some powerful connections. That's why the owner here treats him so well."
Li Mei's face grew solemn as she spoke, "Mom, I know you're furious, and you probably want to tear him to pieces, but we need to carefully consider the situation and investigate them thoroughly before taking any action."
The old lady remained angry but reluctantly nodded.
At that moment, the lights in the private room suddenly dimmed, plunging the surroundings into darkness.
The manager's cold voice sounded from the speakers, "I've changed my mind. You have three minutes to leave this room, or face the consequences."
"Damn it, he's gone too far!"
The old lady's face turned ashen upon hearing those words.
This was a blatant slap in the face!
"It seems like the Li family has offended the owner of Hilton. Let's leave quickly to avoid further trouble."
"Yes, let's go."
"I thought they knew more powerful people, but it turns out the Li family is so pathetic that they can't even do anything when someone comes knocking on their door."
"And that old lady, so blind and ignorant. She tossed away such valuable jade. She has no vision. Even if she were in the White Eagle Kingdom, she probably wouldn't fare well."
At that moment, all the guests who were not part of the Li family started discussing the situation and swiftly left the room.
Upon hearing their comments, the old lady's face grew even darker than coal.
When did she become so bitter, shortsighted, and ignorant?
At the beginning, these guests used to flatter and fawn over the old lady, but ever since the arrival of the Wang family, her status in their eyes plummeted. She had become a laughingstock in their eyes. It was infuriating beyond measure.
"It's too dark here. Let's leave quickly."
"The manager has already issued an eviction order. If we don't leave, we might get beaten up."
The members of the Li family were also terrified. They quickly took out their phones, turned on the flashlight, and hurriedly left.
The old lady's expression kept changing. Although she was displeased, she eventually chose to compromise. Together with Li Mei, she helped Li Hong up and walked out.
Leaving the private room wasn't enough. The manager also arranged security guards in the hallway, watching them like hawks, sweeping them all out the door.
Once the old lady was kicked out, her expression became even uglier than if she had eaten several live flies.
When she arrived, she was in the height of glory. Now, she was being swept out like a stray dog, completely losing face. The drastic contrast was unbearable for her, and she was so enraged that she felt like spitting blood.
"Starting today, put the Li family from the Kuoshan City on our hotel's blacklist and make it public!"
"These narrow-minded frogs are not worthy of consuming in our hotel!"
The manager took out a notice and directly pasted it on the glass door of the hotel. It prominently stated that the old lady and Li Hong from the Li family were on the hotel's blacklist and described them as arrogant and short-sighted.
"Pfft!"
Seeing this scene, the old lady was instantly shocked, and a surge of anger and pain rushed to her chest.
The next second, she spurted out a mouthful of blood, her vision went black, and she collapsed straight to the ground, fainting from anger.
"Mom!"
Li Mei and Li Hong's expressions changed, and they hurriedly lifted the old lady, panicking as they rushed to the hospital.
In the old city area, in a five-story villa, Zhao Kun and Wang Chao brought the whole family back there.
The Wang family was unhappy in Kuoshan City, especially with the attitudes of the old lady, Li Mei, and Li Hong, which made them even more uncomfortable.
After returning home, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to normal.
But Li Han, in particular, hadn't fully recovered from the incident in Kuoshan City. She sat on the sofa with red eyes, tears rolling down one after another.
She still couldn't accept her mother's words. She never expected the old lady to have such an attitude towards her, wishing for her death every day.
That was her own mother!
"Honey, don't think too much. We're the ones who will accompany you for a lifetime," Wang Anguo embraced Li Han and gently comforted her.
"Yes, Mom, those relatives from Grandma's family don't consider you as family. We are your real family," Wang Chao said.
"Mom." Wang Baozhu handed a pack of tissues to Li Han.
Wang Baoyu, Wang Bin, and Wang Cheng also gathered around and sat beside Li Han.
"Grandma, please don't cry."
Huang Yingying leaned on Li Han's leg, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Li Han and choked up, "Seeing you cry, Yingying wants to cry too, wuwuwu~"
After saying that, she hugged Li Han's leg and couldn't help but cry.
Li Han was sad and shedding tears herself, but when she saw Huang Yingying crying, she quickly wiped her tears and lifted Huang Yingying, saying, "Okay, okay, Grandma won't cry. Yingying, be a good girl, we won't cry."
While saying that, she gently wiped away Huang Yingying's tears. "Be good, crying won't make you look pretty, you know."
Wang Chao stood aside, witnessing this scene, and couldn't help but feel emotional. "Why is there such a huge gap between people who have the same grandmother?"
He had never felt any love from the old lady of the Li family since childhood. All he experienced was coldness, mockery, contempt, and physical abuse.
Li Han treated Huang Yingying well, showering her with love and granting her every request.
If he could have felt this kind of warmth when he was young, his childhood might have been complete.
Lost in his thoughts, Wang Chao saw Huang Yingying and Li Han still crying, so he had to change the subject and said, "Mom, I'm going on a business trip in a few days. I'll be traveling with President Shen. You know, Shen Bing is very rich and beautiful, and I really like her."
"You are going on a business trip with President Shen?"
Upon hearing this, Li Han immediately stopped crying, wiped her tears, stood up, and looked at Wang Chao with shining eyes, excitedly asking, "Just the two of you? Alone together? Or is it a group trip with many people?"
"Quickly tell your mom if it's just the two of you," Wang Anguo also exclaimed with joy.
As parents, they dreamt of seeing Wang Chao marry and have children. These days, Wang Chao brought Xue Yiyi and Wang Zuxian home, and then Liu Yifei came along.
Three attractive women with different personalities and backgrounds made them hesitate, not knowing whom to choose.
Moreover, Wang Chao hadn't shown any interest in any of the women.
Now, hearing that Wang Chao would be going on a business trip with Shen Bing, they immediately put everything else aside and bombarded Wang Chao with various questions.
Seeing them like this, Wang Chao could not help but smile. He knew this tactic was effective as it pulled his mother out of her previous state of deep sorrow.
Naturally, he was willing to cooperate with his parents' inquiries and answered all their questions.
"Come on, let's go, my husband. Let's go worship the village gods and ask for their blessings to help our son bring home the richest woman!"
With his response, Li Han and Wang Anguo learned that their son might have a chance with a wealthy person like Shen Bing. They're overjoyed and forgot about all their troubles.
They immediately went out to buy incense and paper, then happily went to seek blessings from the gods.
Wang Chao: ( ̄ェ ̄;)
Does worshiping gods really work?
Besides, this is about love, the domain of the god of love. Can the village gods handle such matters?
Even if they can, it would be overstepping their jurisdiction!
Aren't they afraid of offending the god of love?
