Chapter 504: Banquet at the City Lord's Mansion
"Okay." Yan Li did not refuse this time.
Led by City Lord Su, a group of people excitedly headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
The whole city can be said to have enjoyed the fight against the evil monster, and the people are celebrating that the crisis has been resolved.
Those who signed up for the battle celebrated getting 10,000 points without any danger.
The city lord and his men were also celebrating that they could finally have a good night's sleep.
To this banquet, City Lord Su not only invited Yan Li and others, but also entertained some important figures in the city.
Among them, several people from the Hong family were naturally among the invited guests.
When the head of the Hong family and others entered the banquet, they saw Uncle Hong sitting steadily next to Yan Li.
The biggest contributor to solving the evil monster this time was Yan Li, a stunningly beautiful girl. This matter had already spread throughout the city.
In addition, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion had said before that Uncle Hong was the elder of Lord Yan Li's family, which made everyone in the Hong family very frightened.
They have been thinking about how to repair their relationship with Uncle Hong.
If Hong Bo is willing to return to the Hong family, relying on the relationship with Lord Yan Li, the Hong family may not prosper.
Ever since Hong Bo's son Hong Rui and daughter Hong Xi learned that Hong Bo's identity was extraordinary, they have been excited.
He is their biological father. There is no overnight hatred between father and son.
So when people were still entering the venue, Hong Rui and Hong Xi couldn't wait to walk towards Hong Bo.
Because of Yan Li's relationship, Hong Bo's seat was at the very front of the banquet.
"Li'er, you are a girl, don't drink alcohol, it's bad for your health." As soon as Hong Rui and the other man approached, they heard Hong Bo looking at Yan Li with disapproval and frowning.
"Uncle Hong, I'll just drink a little, just a little bit." Yan Li looked at Uncle Hong ingratiatingly.
She knew that Uncle Hong was doing this for her own good, but it really didn't matter if she drank a little.
"Then you can only drink a little." When Uncle Hong saw her flattering look, a smile flashed across his eyes.
"Okay." Yan Li nodded quickly after hearing that.
I don’t know why, but Uncle Hong always makes me feel very friendly and I am willing to be under his control.
This feeling is very warm.
"Dad." Hong Rui and Hong Xi called out together.
Yan Li raised her head upon hearing the voice, her eyes cold.
Were these two ungrateful people the ones who colluded with others to drive Uncle Hong out of the house?
"You've got the wrong person. I'm not your father. I'm just a worthless old man." Uncle Hong said coldly.
"Dad, we were wrong before. Please forgive us. We are here to take you back to the Hong family and be filial to you." Hong Rui's eyes were full of sincerity.
"Yes, Dad, your grandchildren have missed you so much since you left." Hong Xi quickly replied.
Uncle Hong’s thoughts went back to the day he was kicked out of the Hong family.
Hong Rui: Get out of here! Get out of here! You are just a good-for-nothing old man now. Why are you still staying in the Hong family?
Hong Xi: It's such a shame for me to have a father like you. I feel like my life is shortened just by calling you dad.
Several grandchildren said: "You old bastard, get out of here now! What qualifications do you have to be our grandfather? Even the beggars on the street are better than you."
We would rather give a beggar a steamed bun than give you a sip of water.
My own spouse: You have been wandering outside for so many years, which means you can't survive if you leave the Hong family. Since the children dislike you so much, you should leave as soon as possible.
After all, during the time when you were away, it was the head of the family who accompanied them as they grew up. In their hearts, the head of the family is their father.
This was the most desperate and saddest day in Hong Bo's life.
He didn't know how he left the Hong family, and I didn't know how long I had been wandering around Elite City alone.
He only knew that when he felt hungry, he realized that he was penniless and couldn't even afford a steamed bun.
"Dad, can you bear to disown us?" Seeing that Uncle Hong ignored them, Hong Rui spoke again.
"Yes, Dad, you left for so many years. Now we finally meet each other. How could you leave us again?" Hong Xi said while wiping away tears.
Everyone around looked here with curious eyes.
There was mockery in their eyes, and they all watched Hong Rui and his sister perform quietly.
"Didn't you say that I'm just an old man with no good for anything?" Uncle Hong looked at Hong Rui.
Hong Rui:…….
At first, I wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, but who knew that this sentence would actually backfire.
"Didn't you say that calling me dad will shorten your life? I'm just reminding you that you've already shortened a lot of your life today. If you keep calling me dad, you won't be far from death." Uncle Hong looked at Hong Xi.
"No, I didn't..." Upon hearing this, Hong Xi could only shake his head desperately, there was nothing else he could do.
"Second brother, no matter what, they are your own flesh and blood. How can you treat them like this?" Seeing this, the head of the Hong family sighed and walked over.
"Master Hong, you are the honorable Master Hong. How can others be worthy of calling you second brother?" Uncle Hong looked at Master Hong with contempt.
"Also, my space ring doesn't seem to fit you well. Should I return it?" After saying this, Uncle Hong looked at the space ring in the hand of the head of the Hong family.
"What? Your space ring? This is originally mine, second brother. How can you lie like that?" Upon hearing this, the head of the Hong family immediately protected the space ring in his hand tightly.
"Shrink." Yan Li on the side didn't waste any more words with them and pointed directly at the space ring.
Under the gaze of everyone, the space ring was gradually shrinking.
The head of the Hong family looked at the space ring in his hand in horror.
"What's going on?" The head of the Hong family felt a sharp pain in his fingers.
If this space ring shrinks any further, my fingers will break.
He was anxious to take off the space ring, but he couldn't do it at all.
Uncle Hong looked at the space ring with emotion in his eyes.
It was a gift from Li'er that was of great significance to me. I originally wanted to give it to Hong Xi to give her some protection.
Who could have thought that she would team up with the head of the Hong family to snatch his Dongjin and drive him out of the Hong family.
"I will return the ring to you. Take it off, take it off quickly." The head of the Hong family looked at the space ring that was still shrinking with horror in his eyes.
I have never opened this space ring. It would be a big waste if I risked a finger for it.
As soon as Hong Bo finished speaking, the space ring on his finger grew rapidly and directly left his finger and returned to Yan Li's hand.
"Why would it listen to you?" Patriarch Hong looked at Yan Li in disbelief.
"It thinks I'm a good person, so it will join me in punishing you, the bad guy." Yan Li said as he handed the space ring in his hand to Hong Bo.
"Li'er..."
"Uncle Hong, take it. It's better to be prepared."
Just as Uncle Hong was about to say that Yan Li had already given him another one and that he didn't need it anymore, he was interrupted by Yan Li.
