Chapter 505 Severing ties
"Okay." Seeing Yan Li's serious expression, Uncle Hong finally accepted the ring.
Hong Rui and Hong Xi, who were standing by, saw the two rings on Hong Bo's hands and their eyes were filled with greed.
They thought that two rings would be just right, one for each of them.
When Yan Li's eyes swept over the two of them, she saw that they were staring at the ring on Hong Bo's hand, wishing they could snatch it away.
"Dad, with your current ability, we can definitely set up our own business. In this way, won't our family be reunited?" Hong Rui obviously didn't want to give up the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family.
"Who is your family? Who will reunite with you?" Uncle Hong looked at him with cold eyes.
From the moment they kicked themselves out of the Hong family, they became others to me.
"Dad, is she the offspring of the wives you married outside these years?" Hong Xi suddenly pointed at Yan Li and asked.
"How dare you! Lady Yan Li is the owner of the black points card. You cannot be rude to her." City Lord Su angrily rebuked Hong Xi as soon as he finished speaking.
"You have to know what being the owner of a black points card means in Elite City, so think before you speak." Hong Bo said in a cold voice.
"Isn't it? If not, why would you leave us for her?" Hong Xi continued to question, but did not dare to target Yan Li again.
"What you want is a father who is powerful and has a backer, not him." Yan Li's cold voice came.
"He is our father, and this cannot be changed no matter what. Lord Yan Li, I hope you can help our family reunite." Hong Rui looked at Yan Li with sincerity.
He thought that as long as he took Uncle Hong back, Yan Li would have to be his backer.
"Okay, I can return Uncle Hong to you, but the moment you take him back, I will immediately announce to the public that I have nothing to do with him anymore." Yan Li nodded with an expression that said, "I'll grant your wish."
"I don't know what Lord Yan Li means?" Hong Rui asked while suppressing his anger.
"I will fulfill your filial piety and allow you to take Uncle Hong back to take care of him in his old age. However, in order to prevent you from doing evil things outside in my name, I must completely sever ties with you. In other words, you are taking back an old man who has nothing." After saying this, Yan Li looked at Hong Rui and his sister.
"That's right. Since you are so filial, I will return these two space rings to Li'er. Otherwise, how can I show your filial piety?" Uncle Hong continued.
Hong Rui: ...
An old man who has nothing can't even throw it away himself, so how could he possibly go through all the trouble to pick it up?
Hong Xi: ...
I originally wanted to gain some benefits by leveraging Yan Li's reputation, but now it seems that is not possible.
"Uncle Hong, congratulations. Your family is finally reunited." Yan Li congratulated Uncle Hong.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that they would change their minds." Uncle Hong nodded happily.
Everyone:...
Everyone present could see that what the Hong family valued was clearly the relationship with Lord Yan Li.
"Mr. Yan Li, relying on your relationship with my father..."
"The relationship between us is just that between butler and master."
Hong Rui was interrupted by Yan Li before he could finish his words.
"Are you going to take Uncle Hong back now?" Yan Li's sharp eyes fell on Hong Rui and his sister.
"No, no, just let him be the housekeeper in your house, he's of no use at all." Hong Xi waved his hands when he heard that.
"That's right. We can't do anything if we go back and it will be a waste of food." Hong Rui's attitude changed 180 degrees in an instant.
"Don't you want to acknowledge this father now?" Yan Li looked at them coldly.
"That's right." The Hong Rui brothers and sisters nodded.
"In that case, in order to avoid you from bothering me in the future, please sign this severance agreement." After Yan Li finished speaking, two severance agreements appeared in her hand.
Hong Rui and the other man turned pale when they took it and looked at it.
They found that the contract was too overbearing. After signing it, not only could they not call Uncle Hong "dad", they couldn't even mention him.
That was a complete and clean severance of relations!
"Do you want to sign or take the person back now?" Yan Li looked at them coldly.
"Let's sign." Hong Rui said and signed first.
Hong Xi followed closely behind!
Seeing them signing without any reluctance, a trace of disappointment flashed across Hong Bo's eyes, but he was relieved in an instant.
"Uncle Hong, if I do this, you..." Yan Li looked at Uncle Hong with two copies of the severance agreement.
"Lier, you did the right thing." A smile flashed across Hong Bo's eyes.
Yan Li smiled when she heard that!
"As everyone has seen, my Uncle Hong has completely severed ties with these two ungrateful bastards. From now on, whatever they do will have nothing to do with my Uncle Hong." Yan Li stood up and announced to everyone at the banquet.
Patriarch Hong sat in his seat with a gloomy expression.
Only then did he understand that everything Yan Li had done before was to force Hong Rui and Hong Xi to break off their relationship with their father.
"Li'er, from now on you will be the only relative I have left." Uncle Hong looked at Yan Li with a smile.
"Who said I'm your only relative?" Yan Li replied.
"Oh? Could it be that Li'er has found her ideal husband?" A hint of smile flashed across Hong Bo's eyes.
"Uncle Hong, what are you thinking about? I'm talking about my elder brother Gongsun Zijun." Yan Li looked helpless.
But when Uncle Hong talked about his ideal husband, why did I think of my senior brother?
Yan Li shook her head vigorously, wondering what she was thinking about.
"Li'er, you've grown up now, it's time to find your ideal husband. I think the War King is a good one. He's good-looking, strong, and most importantly, he dotes on you." After saying this, Uncle Hong looked at her with amusement.
"Uncle Hong, how do you know that my senior brother hasn't gotten married yet?" Yan Li smiled when she heard that.
"Pfft... Lier, I believe that Uncle Hong is very good at judging people. As for King Zhan, he will not get married before he finds the person that is dear to his heart." Uncle Hong said with a smile.
Yan Li: ...
Who is the person at the top of your heart?
After signing the severance agreement, Hong Rui and Hong Xi returned to their seats.
"Why are you so impulsive?" As soon as they sat down, they heard the angry voice of the head of the Hong family.
"Uncle, if you don't cut off ties with him, do you want to take him home when he has nothing?" Hong Rui's face was full of indignation.
"Idiot, don't you see how Yan Li introduced him to others? He is an elder. She always says that Hong De is her elder." The head of the Hong family was simply disappointed in his son.
"So what? Yan Li also said that if we take him home, she will completely cut off all ties with him." Hong Xi said.
"Do you think that given her relationship with Hong De, she will really sever ties with him?" The head of the Hong family's tone was full of anger.
"Is she trying to trick us?" Hong Rui finally reacted.
"I just realized it, but it's too late." The head of the Hong family suddenly felt very tired.
