Chapter 506: The Li Family's Choice

~7 min read 1,281 words

She knows Li Bingcheng's character.

Arrogant and domineering, he is even overly presumptuous at home.

In all of Xianggang, I've never seen him afraid of anyone.

This time, seeing Lin Yang, he looked terrified.

Lin Yang, seeing his appearance, also smiled and asked.

"Young Master Li, what were you planning to have me do just now?"

Li Bingcheng heard this and looked panicked.

"Of course not, you're joking!"

"I wasn't unaware that you'd come to my home."

"You and my sister can chat slowly; I'll leave first."

Having said that, he rushed out of the study, legs pumping, as if a mouse seeing a cat.

Limanman saw this and curiously looked at Lin Yang.

"How could my brother be so afraid of you? What did you do to him?"

Lin Yang smiled slightly and said, "I just reasoned with him a few times."

"He was probably moved by my words; now seeing me, he's a bit scared."

Limanman rolled her eyes at Lin Yang.

"Reasoning? She wouldn't believe that."

"Doesn't she know her own brother's temperament?"

"Typical of someone who responds to force, not softness—only after you beat him will he submit."

Limanman curiously came up to Lin Yang, blinked, and asked.

"Come on, just tell me what happened between you two."

The entangled Lin Yang helplessly rubbed his forehead, sat down, and told Limanman some things about the southwest.

After he finished recounting how he had dealt with Li Bingzhi in the southwest, Limanman burst out laughing.

"Haha, they've been showing off too much in Xianggang; I never expected to run into you in the southwest."

"This is also their calamity!"

Seeing Limanman laughing hysterically, Lin Yang curiously asked.

"Are you guys on bad terms? Are you just gloating over their misfortune?"

Limanman snorted and said.

"Anyway, it's not good."

"I get along well with my older brother."

Lin Yang then thought of something and didn't ask further.

Seeing Lin Yang silent, Limanman curiously asked.

"Mr. Lin, why did you come to my house today?"

"Could it be that you want to see the Peng family?"

"See the Peng family?"

Lin Yang laughed heartily and told Limanman.

"You could think that; I am indeed here to see the Peng family."

Upon hearing Lin Yang say that, Limanman sighed.

"Ah, the Royal Family is great—even people from the southwest rush to see him."

"This time, my marriage to the Peng family can't be stopped."

Seeing Limanman's resentful face, Lin Yang smiled and said.

"Who knows?"

Just as Limanman clung to Lin Yang, urging him to tell more southwest anecdotes, Li Bingfei walked in.

"Mr. Lin, the Peng family people arrived earlier than expected!"

"They have twelve people this time; you see…"

Lin Yang smiled and said, "No problem, proceed as usual."

Li Bingfei looked at Limanman and said.

"Limanman, get ready; Young Master Peng is here, and you also need to go downstairs to receive guests."

Hearing that, Limanman sighed.

"Okay, got it."

After Limanman left, Li Bingfei said to Lin Yang.

"Mr. Lin, perhaps we should call it off today."

"Once we start fighting, our Li family side might not exert any effort."

That was blunt, but it's true.

On the Li family side, quite a few agree to the marriage alliance.

Now that Lin Yang has suddenly shown up and stirred things up, it's fine if they don't help the Peng family.

After all, many in the Li family still lean toward marrying into the Peng family.

Lin Yang looked at Li Bingfei's worried expression and smiled.

"Rest assured, since I've come, I have confidence."

"You go first."

Seeing Lin Yang's face with an approaching smile, Li Bingfei also felt his heart relax a bit.

After all, if Lin Yang fails, they father and son will also be implicated.

By then, the position of family head will surely be gone.

He exhaled a breath and walked downstairs.

After he left, Lin Yang picked up the book just now and began to read.

In the book, it recorded a prescription for a pill, but it was not complete.

Lin Yang wondered whether he could complete it.

Suddenly, a sound of gongs and drums rang out.

Lin Yang's mouth corners slightly rose.

It seems the Peng family's people have formally entered the Li household.

Now, the gate is open, and the honor guard is welcoming.

He recorded the prescription, silently wrote it out once, then slowly went downstairs.

Downstairs, Peng Yang, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, sat on the sofa chatting animatedly.

Beside him sat three middle-aged men.

Apart from these four, not far away sat eight people with white hair.

Although their hair was white, their complexions were ruddy, each full of vigor.

At this moment, Peng Yang, looking at Limanman beside him, revealed a satisfied smile.

He said to Li Sheng: 'Uncle Li, rest assured, when Limanman marries into Yanjing, I will surely treat her well!'

Li Sheng frowned slightly, without giving a direct answer.

Instead, he laughed and said: 'Little Peng, you've come a long way; our Li family cannot let you feel wronged.'

'Today you order the dishes; say whatever you want to eat.'

Peng Yang laughed heartily and said: 'With Limanman by my side, anything to eat is fine!'

'Uncle Li, pick an engagement date; I guarantee I will not lose to the Huo Family side.'

Beside Peng Yang, some overweight middle-aged people also said.

'Yes, you set a suitable time.'

'Our Peng family will establish a regulation; then we won't let you lose face.'

Just as his words fell, Lin Yang's voice sounded.

'I think no day is suitable.'

'You Peng family would be better off returning to Yanjing.'

Lin Yang's words instantly caused many people to look up, gazing toward the stairs.

When Peng Yang saw Lin Yang, his pupils contracted, and he immediately gave a sinister laugh.

'Great, truly enemies meet on a narrow road; we can even meet you here!'

Lin Yang looked at him, smiled slightly, and said.

'Yes, quite a coincidence.'

Peng Yang, with a ferocious face, said to Lin Yang.

'You're like refusing to take the road to heaven and barging into hell with no gate!'

He stood up, pointed at Lin Yang, and said.

'Third Uncle, earlier in Jinling it was this brat who bullied me!'

As soon as these words were spoken, the several elders who had been resting all turned their gazes toward Lin Yang.

They slowly rose, walked to stand beside Peng Yang, and kept their eyes fixed on Lin Yang.

Lin Yang also smiled and walked into the hall.

Within the Li household, someone stood up, pointed at Lin Yang, and scolded.

'Who are you, and why have you appeared in my Li household!'

'Get out now, or I'll break your legs!'

Peng Yang, hearing this, laughed loudly with delight.

He looked at Lin Yang and said.

'Now the Li family is also on my side; can you alone be a match for so many people?'

'Lin Yang, you are doomed!'

Looking at Peng Yang laughing triumphantly, Lin Yang shook his head and said.

'I don't think so.'

After he finished speaking, Li Sheng slowly opened his mouth and said.

'Regarding the marriage alliance, I think we still need to consider it further.'

'So Li family members, follow me to the conference room to hold a meeting.'

As soon as these words were spoken, the Li family members immediately split into two factions.

Some loudly rebuked Li Sheng, saying he was going to destroy the Li family.

Some unconditionally supported Li Sheng, saying they should not ally with the Peng family through marriage.

Peng Yang, seeing this scene, unconsciously narrowed his eyes.
