Shua!
Li Gu Yi’s words echoed in their ears, and both Gu Lu and Li Qing Yuan’s expressions changed drastically!
Although Jiang Wu Ming’s earlier performance had made them very uneasy – they believed that Li Gu Yi might choose Jiang Wu Ming because of what Jiang Wu Ming had done.
Especially when Zhu Jian and Ye Zheng successively declared their support for Jiang Wu Ming, the unease in the hearts of Gu Lu and Li Qing Yuan soared instantly.
However—
At this moment, when Li Gu Yi indirectly stated his and the Li family’s choice, Gu Lu and Li Qing Yuan were still hit hard!
“Dad, Tian Long was just trying to stand up for Mu Zhi…”
Immediately, Li Mu Zhi looked at Li Gu Yi with unconcealed unwillingness, trying to salvage the situation.
“I know.”
Li Gu Yi interrupted him directly, frowned, and reprimanded, “Li Qing Yuan, control your son. Don’t let him shame the Li family again!”
Shua!
Shua!
Hearing Li Gu Yi’s words, Li Qing Yuan and Li Mu Zhi, who was outside the main villa, both had a sudden change in expression!
Because Li Gu Yi’s words not only completely extinguished the possibility of Li Lian Yi and Gu Tian Long being together but also expressed extreme dissatisfaction with the self-serving actions of Li Qing Yuan and Li Mu Zhi.
As a result, Li Qing Yuan and Li Mu Zhi, father and son, had shot themselves in the foot.
Not only did they fail to consolidate the first branch’s position in the Li family because of this matter, but they might also lose the opportunity to lead the Li family in the future because of it!
“Understood, Dad.”
Li Qing Yuan nodded, his face slightly pale, not daring to say another word.
Li San Ye of the Li family saw this and frowned, saying, “Eldest Brother, I think the young master of the Gu family is seriously injured. If this is delayed, what if he dies here?”
“Third Uncle, when Gu Tian Long sneak attacked Master Wu Ming from behind, did you ever consider what would happen if Master Wu Ming died from that blow?”
This time, before Li Gu Yi could speak, Li Shang Lai, who was standing outside the villa, suddenly spoke up.
Before Li Gu Yi made his decision, Li Shang Lai was the only one among the younger generation of the Li family who had wholeheartedly supported Jiang Wu Ming.
Just now, when Jiang Wu Ming displayed his terrifying strength, gained the support of the Martial Department and the Ye family, and was recognized by Li Gu Yi, Li Shang Lai was excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
At this moment, seeing Li San Ye still unwillingly pleading for Gu Tian Long, Li Shang Lai directly doubled down on Jiang Wu Ming – he was willing to completely offend the first branch of the Li family for Jiang Wu Ming!
Li San Ye was a staunch supporter of the first branch of the Li family!
“Presumptuous! What right do you have to speak here?”
Li San Ye’s expression changed, and he shot a gloomy glance at Li Shang Lai, who was standing at the villa entrance, and reprimanded him.
“Third Brother, as I just said, the Li family cannot interfere in the matter between Wu Ming and Gu Tian Long.”
Li Gu Yi’s eyebrows flicked slightly, and he spoke to define the matter.
Gu Lu stood by the side with a grim expression. He still wanted to say something, but upon hearing Li Gu Yi’s words, he swallowed the words that were about to come out and then glanced at Long Yong Jie.
At this point, he knew that the marriage alliance between Gu Tian Long and Li Lian Yi was completely ruined!
He no longer cared about this matter but was concerned about his son’s life and death!
Long Yong Jie sensed Gu Lu’s gaze and gently shook his head, indicating that no rash actions should be taken, and also telling Gu Lu that Gu Tian Long was not in mortal danger.
Seeing this, Gu Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said no more.
At the same time, outside the main villa, chaos erupted!
“Didn’t they say the Li family was going to break off the engagement with Jiang Wu Ming? Why do I feel like the Li family is going to fulfill the engagement with Jiang Wu Ming?”
“Yes, everything Li Shenyi said implies support for Jiang Wu Ming!”
“It’s so obvious. Jiang Wu Ming has displayed powerful strength, deserving to be called the number one person among the younger generation in the global martial arts world, and he has the support of the Martial Department and the Ye family. The Li family has changed their decision because of this!”
…
On the lawn, some guests were whispering and discussing.
“Originally, I thought Jiang Wu Ming would be the clown today, but I didn’t expect the clown to be Gu Tian Long. It’s so dramatic!”
Yuan He, the inheritor of Buddhism, sighed with a smile.
Others dared not directly call Gu Tian Long by name, but he didn’t care.
“Heh… Gu Tian Long, are you surprised, are you happy?”
Hearing Yuan He’s words, Ye Kunlun also recovered from the shock that Jiang Wu Ming had given him. He looked at Gu Tian Long, who was lying on the ground covered in blood, with a mocking expression and said gleefully.
Last night, because some noble family disciples and inheritors of martial arts forces were fawning over Gu Tian Long and belittling Jiang Wu Ming, he found it unbearable and spoke out righteously. As a result, he was publicly humiliated by Gu Tian Long.
Even before Jiang Wu Ming and Gu Tian Long clashed, Gu Tian Long had arrogantly humiliated Ye Kunlun!
At this moment, Gu Tian Long was not only seriously injured, losing all face for the young master of the Dragon Gate, but he had also lost the possibility of marrying Li Lian Yi. Ye Kunlun directly joined in the mockery of the fallen!
“You…”
Hearing Ye Kunlun’s words, Gu Tian Long’s body trembled with anger. He tried to sit up and say something.
“What? Are you trying to play dead and have a spar with me? Alright, I’ll only use one finger!” Ye Kunlun sneered.
“Amitabha, as the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. Gu Tian Long is a day in Hedong and a day in Hexi!”
Yuan He clasped his hands together and added insult to injury with a serious expression.
Although he did not like to fight, he also could not stand Gu Tian Long’s demeanor and actions.
“Pfft—”
Gu Tian Long’s entire body trembled with anger, he spat out a mouthful of blood in public, and then completely fainted.
He had fainted from anger!
Seeing Gu Tian Long faint, everyone, including Ye Kunlun and Yuan He, once again cast their gaze towards Jiang Wu Ming, who was standing at the entrance of the main villa.
At the same time, in the garden, Li Gu Yi, Li Lian Yi, and other core members of the Li family, as well as important guests from all sides, were also looking at Jiang Wu Ming.
Under everyone’s gaze, Jiang Wu Ming took another step forward and walked directly towards Li Gu Yi.
This time, no one blocked him. The scene was silent, only the sound of his footsteps echoed.
One step, two steps, three steps…
Finally, amidst everyone’s anticipation, Jiang Wu Ming walked to the front of Li Gu Yi and the others, stopping two meters away from Li Gu Yi.
“Shenyi Li, I should have called you Grandpa Li, but Li Mu Zhi said I wasn’t worthy, so I can only address you this way. I hope you don’t mind.”
Under the public’s gaze, Jiang Wu Ming first cupped his hands and bowed to Li Gu Yi, then said, “Today, I, Wu Ming, have come uninvited to Li Manor to do two things.
The first is to wish you a happy birthday.
I wish you happiness as boundless as the East Sea and a lifespan as long as the Southern Mountains!”
As he said this, Jiang Wu Ming paused and said, “I have prepared a small gift for you – the prescription for the Qi and Blood pills from Tian Yao Group will belong to your Li family’s Long Teng Pharmaceutical in the future!”
“Uh…”
As Jiang Wu Ming spoke, everyone present changed their expressions!
Everyone knew that Tian Yao Group was a collaborative enterprise between the Li family’s Long Teng Pharmaceutical and the Su family behind Jiang Wu Ming, a company hailed as a money-printing machine!
The most core asset of this company was the prescription for the Qi and Blood pills!
It could be said without exaggeration that the prescription was a priceless treasure!
Now, Jiang Wu Ming had directly given this prescription as a birthday gift to the Li family!
How generous was this!
Li Gu Yi and Li Lian Yi were also shocked.
They were not shocked because Jiang Wu Ming gave the prescription, but because they knew that Su Shi Yun had given this prescription to the Li family as a betrothal gift a long time ago.
And now, Jiang Wu Ming was presenting it as a birthday gift, what did this mean?
“The second thing is that Li Lian Yi and I are breaking off our engagement now!”
Jiang Wu Ming looked deeply at Li Lian Yi and revealed the answer, his voice echoing through Li Manor!
…
ps: On the first day of the New Year, three chapters have been updated, and Jiang Wu Ming is breaking off the engagement. Are you surprised, are you happy?
