Chapter 8: Chen Li's Choice (Seeking Collection)

  Lin Xue'er's words left everyone bewildered, even Lin Yuan Shan was suspicious. What had happened to this child? Had she been stimulated too much and gone a bit crazy? Even her speech was somewhat disordered. What nonsense about whether he would be qualified to be your husband in five years? This scoundrel Chen Li wouldn't even qualify if he were reborn!

  Just as Lin Yuan Shan was about to get angry again, Lin Xue Er waved her hand to signal her father to calm down and continued to speak to Old Man Chen.

  "Mr. Chen, as the victim of this incident, am I qualified to ask you to expel Chen Li, the mastermind behind this, from your Chen family and publicly announce that you will cut off all ties with him, not provide any support to him, and turn him into an ordinary citizen without any background, as a punishment for his heinous crimes?"

  Everyone including Lin Yuanshan took a cold breath, if they really punished Chen Li according to what Lin Xue'er said, it would be more painful for this number one young master who had been pampered since childhood and never knew the hardships of the common people! For him who has no survival skills at all, it's likely that he will become a beggar on the street soon, or even starve to death on the street? Lin Xue'er's move is indeed ruthless and poisonous, leaving the Chen family speechless!

  "Miss Xue'er, what do you mean?" Mr. Chen asked instead of showing his attitude directly, and continued to ask Lin Xue'er;

  "Mr. Chen was indeed calm enough, Xue Er admired!"

  Lin Xue'er, with a dignified air, bowed her hands to Old Man Chen, expressing her admiration, and then continued to say:

  "I'm making Old Man Chen do this because I want to give Chen Li an opportunity. If he can, within five years, relying solely on his own abilities, create a power that surpasses both the black and white paths, one that's not inferior to the current Chen family, then I, Lin Xue'er, will willingly agree to marry him! If he fails to do so at that time, I'll exhaust all of the Lin family's strength to hunt him down and avenge the humiliation of my innocent body!"

  Lin Xue'er's eyes flashed with a cold light as she spoke, staring straight at Chen Li who was sitting in his wheelchair. However, after exchanging gazes for a moment, she was unexpectedly defeated because Chen Li's deep and profound eyes were filled with admiration and gratitude, unintentionally dissolving her sharp and piercing gaze into nothingness.

  How come this guy doesn't seem so annoying anymore? In the past, he always had an air of superiority about him, his eyes only on himself, never putting others in his sights! But just now, I clearly saw a hint of genuine gratitude and appreciation in his gaze, and it was that kind of sincerity without any pretence! In the past, when he looked at me, his eyes were always filled with lustful intentions, but this time why did it seem different? Could it be because he took my first time? Lin Xue'er thought to herself as a faint blush rose to her cheeks.

  "Hmph! He's been drained of his vital energy by my Nine Yin Absolute Veins, and it's already a blessing from heaven that he can escape with his life. And yet you want him to sever ties with the Chen family and use five years to create a power that surpasses both the black and white paths, rivaling the current influence of the Chen family? This is simply a fool's dream! I think this old man Chen will definitely not agree to such an absurd condition. Probably after you all fall out and have a bloody battle, it'll still be our East Mansion who reaps the benefits!"

  Lin Xue'er, Lin Xue'er, I originally thought you had become clever, but unexpectedly you made such a foolish move? This is truly heaven's blessing, allowing me, Dongfang Yu, to fulfill the centuries-old wish of the Dongfang family before my death!

  Dongfang Yu, who had a thorough understanding of Old Man Chen, felt a huge weight lift off her shoulders when she heard Lin Xue'er's condition. In her eyes, Old Man Chen would never agree to this condition and push his own grandson into the fire pit. Chen Li was nothing but a useless piece of trash without the protection of his family; he was a waste that couldn't even be propped up against a wall, or rather, he was a pile of stinky dog shit that nobody wanted to step on!

  Just as Dongfang Yu thought of this, she looked at Chen Li sitting in a wheelchair with disdain. However, she saw that Chen Li's eyes were tightly fixed on Lin Xue'er, who looked like an angel, making her feel inexplicably uncomfortable. We both lost our bodies to you, so why don't you even want to look at me? Even if you hate me, you can't ignore my existence, can you?

  A woman's mind is often so strange, she doesn't want something that she can't have herself to be possessed by another woman, especially one who has also had the same man as her, and whose beauty and intelligence are in no way inferior to her own!

  "Li'er, I want to hear your response. If you refuse, then even if it means risking the entire Chen family and my own life, Grandfather will not hesitate!"

  Mr. Chen was silent for a moment, then looked at Lin Xue'er and Chen Li with complex eyes, before finally asking Chen Li in a serious tone:

  "Dad! You absolutely can't do this! If you do, our Chen family will be finished!"

  Chen Zhi Jian naturally thought that Chen Li would choose to stay with the family, and if so, a fierce battle between the Chen, Lin, and Dongfang families would be inevitable. Then, this illustrious first family of Huaguo might fall apart in one night, and his good days as Young Master Chen would come to an end! So, Chen Zhi Jian immediately knelt down and begged Old Man Chen not to make a wrong decision.

  "Dad! You absolutely can't do this! If you choose to save Bao Li, our Chen family will be doomed! How are we supposed to live on?! Along with the eldest son of the Chen family, who also came in, the second son of the Chen family knelt behind him and wailed repeatedly."

  It's really a case of "the father is a tiger, but the son is a dog"! It seems that the Chen family has completely fallen! The day when our Eastern aristocratic family will dominate the world will come soon!

  Watching Chen Jia brothers' silly behavior, Dong Fang Xing shook his head with a mix of emotions, but in his heart, he felt as comfortable as if he had drunk honey.

  Just as the whole living room was in a mess, everyone present was secretly thinking about how to respond next. Chen Li, who had been sitting quietly in his wheelchair, suddenly stood up from his wheelchair and faced Lin Xue'er, looking at her with determination and said loudly:

  "Lin Xue'er, I promise you, within five years, I will definitely make you my bride!"
