Chapter 245 One Word is Better Than a Thousand Words

Zhu Haishan's heart was filled with impatience, this Li Xiaoyao, how dare he speak to him with such tone.

Zhu Xiaoyue was also startled, frantically giving Li Xiaoyao meaningful glances, but it was as if Li Xiaoyao couldn't see them at all.

"Ding Dong!"

The doorbell rang, Ms. Zhu said, "I'll go and open the door."

As Ms. Zhu opened the door, she saw a nervous Liang Zhengdao standing at the entrance.

"Old Liang, what brings you here?" Ms. Zhu exclaimed in surprise.

Liang Zhengdao glanced inside and asked, "Is Old Zhu here?"

"He is, do you have something for him?"

"Yes, it's urgent." Liang Zhengdao walked into the house, didn't even bother to change his shoes, and went straight to the living room, where he happened to see a familiar figure, it was none other than Li Xiaoyao.

"Old Liang, what are you doing here?" Zhu Haishan was surprised to see Liang Zhengdao and asked.

Liang Zhengdao ignored him and went straight to Li Xiaoyao, his tone respectful, "Mr. Li, I, Liang Zhengdao, failed to recognize a great man, please spare my Liang Family."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haishan and his wife, along with Zhu Xiaoyue, all looked at him with shocked faces.

"Old Liang, what are you talking about?"

Liang Zhengdao replied with a bitter smile, "Mr. Li is a major figure, and my Liang Family has offended him."

"A major figure!" Zhu Haishan stared in disbelief at the indifferent Li Xiaoyao, unable to comprehend how Li Xiaoyao could be such an influential person.

Li Xiaoyao merely uttered an indifferent "Oh," and said, "Isn't your Liang Family supposed to be very powerful?"

Liang Zhengdao wiped his sweat and said, "No, no, in front of Mr. Li, my Liang Family is less than nothing, how can we dare to claim to be powerful."

"Heh," Li Xiaoyao snorted coldly, he remembered very clearly how Liang Zhengdao pointed fingers and showed disdain with his arrogant behaviour back in the day.

"I said, I will destroy your Liang Family," Li Xiaoyao said without any intention of saving face for him, the words making Liang Zhengdao's heart tremble on the spot.

"Mr. Li, the matter of that day was my fault alone, if you must blame someone, blame me alone, please don't take it out on the Liang Family," Liang Zhengdao pleaded with the lowest of stances, because he knew, Li Xiaoyao was not an ordinary person, and this might be his last chance.

Li Xiaoyao said indifferently, "I'm not in the habit of making empty promises."

Hearing this, Liang Zhengdao's face turned ashen. He had thought that by humbling himself and apologizing today, he would surely gain Li Xiaoyao's forgiveness, but he had underestimated Li Xiaoyao's determination to retaliate.

Zhu Haishan was taken aback as he watched Liang Zhengdao, knowing him for many years, he had never seen Liang Zhengdao so submissive before anyone.

"Kid, there's a limit to everything. Old Liang's previous remarks may have been excessive, but he has apologized now, you should accept it graciously," Zhu Haishan frowned and said.

Since Liang Zhengdao had come here, he clearly intended to leverage their relationship, and it would indeed be inappropriate for Zhu Haishan not to speak up.

Experience more on empire

Li Xiaoyao's gaze turned to him and said, "I've said before, if you were not Xiaoyue's father, you wouldn't have the right to speak to me. How I deal with the Liang Family isn't something a minor official like you can intervene in."

"You!" Zhu Haishan was furious, glaring at Li Xiaoyao.

Liang Zhengdao quickly held him back and, with a smile to Li Xiaoyao, said, "Mr. Li, please be magnanimous. I will pay for my past mistakes. I will give you fifty percent of the shares of the Liang Family's control company, just seeking your mercy to spare my Liang Family once."

"If you knew this day would come, why did you do it in the first place?" Li Xiaoyao said coldly, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Now it's too late to beg for mercy!"

Liang Zhengdao's mind was in chaos, he suddenly caught sight of Zhu Xiaoyue and an idea sparked; he looked at her and said, "Xiaoyue, please beg for mercy on Uncle Liang's behalf, just for me, please?"

Zhu Xiaoyue was still in shock at the moment. Seeing Liang Zhengdao's pitiful expression, she felt somewhat reluctant and said, "Xiaoyao, why don't we let bygones be bygones?"

The living room fell silent.

Aside from Li Xiaoyao, the others scarcely dared to breathe heavily.

After a long while, Li Xiaoyao spoke, "Liang Family's controlling enterprise, ninety percent of the shares will be transferred to my name tomorrow. Now, you can get lost."

"Huff~"

As Liang Zhengdao exhaled, his heart felt somewhat twisted.

Ninety percent of the Liang Family's shares were given to Li Xiaoyao without compensation.

This time, although Li Xiaoyao spared the Liang Family, the price they had to pay set the entire Liang Family back decades.

But Liang Zhengdao dared not feel the slightest dissatisfaction or complaint. He knew full well that Li Xiaoyao had spared him solely because of Zhu Xiaoyue. Otherwise, with Li Xiaoyao's status, he could have wiped out the Liang Family and taken over all their assets.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, thank you, Mr. Li. Rest assured, I will go back and have the lawyers transfer the shares into your name right away," Liang Zhengdao said respectfully, and after speaking, he turned and quickly trotted away from the Zhu Family villa.

After Liang Zhengdao left, the atmosphere in the living room among the three remaining people changed dramatically.

The one with the most complicated feelings was undoubtedly Zhu Haishan.

Zhu Haishan had thought that Li Xiaoyao's connection with Chairman Ji was merely a coincidence.

But the events that had just unfolded proved him utterly wrong.

Li Xiaoyao's status had reached a terrifying level, one that he couldn't even hope to touch.

With a complicated look, Zhu Haishan asked, "Who... who are you, really?"

Li Xiaoyao glanced at him and then said to Zhu Xiaoyue, "It's getting late. You should rest early. I'll be heading back."

"I'll walk you out," Zhu Xiaoyue hurriedly followed.

After the two left the villa, Zhu Haishan's legs went soft, and he collapsed onto the sofa, still unable to digest what had just occurred.

"Who the hell is this Li Xiaoyao, to make even Old Liang so humble and scared?"

"No, I have to figure this out. I'm going to call Old Liang right now," Zhu Haishan said.

Zhu's mother stopped him, "Don't be hasty. Old Liang has things to deal with right now. Wait a few days until he has finished, then you can ask."

Zhu Haishan forced a smile, "I never expected Xiaoyue to find such an impressive boyfriend."

Zhu's mother chided, "You still have the nerve to say that. I've always felt that this young man was a good person, but you insisted on pushing Xiaoyue towards the Liang Family."

"Ah!" Zhu Haishan sighed, feeling somewhat guilty.

...

Zhu Xiaoyue walked with Li Xiaoyao in the residential area, neither of them speaking.

The shock Li Xiaoyao had brought her today was too much to accept in a short time.

"Xiaoyao," Zhu Xiaoyue called out softly.

"Hmm."

"Who are you, really? Why is Uncle Liang so afraid of you?"

"Because I'm someone he can't afford to offend," Li Xiaoyao walked to the front of the car, turned to face Zhu Xiaoyue, and gently stroked her hair. His voice was soft yet full of confidence, "Xiaoyue, I've said it before, no one in this world can force you to make a choice you don't like, not even your father!"

Zhu Xiaoyue smiled tenderly and fell into Li Xiaoyao's embrace.

That statement was worth more than a million sweet nothings.
