At the Qi Mansion.
Because of Qi Yihan's threatening words, the other family members were so furious that they couldn't even eat their dinner.
First Master slammed the table and said angrily, "He really thinks that the Qi Corporation belongs to him alone!"
Second Master sneered, "He is just being arrogant because Father likes him? After Father passes away, I'll see if he can remain so arrogant."
"We have to guard against him at this time." Third Master was especially worried about something. "We still don't know what the contents of Father's will are. What if he is really biased to the point of giving half of the assets to Yihan?"
"How is that possible! We should all have our shares of the inheritance!"
"That's right. We should split it by head."
At this point, the three brothers all had wicked thoughts of their own.
However, no one showed it. The most important thing now was to deal with Qi Yihan.
"Grandpa likes Tang Li. Should we start with her?"
Everyone in the Qi family knew what kind of person Tang Li was. Since she was younger than several of the younger members of the Qi family, no one treated her as an elder.
After Qi Hao said that, Qi Yaolong, the Fifth Son, immediately added, "At the time, Grandfather insisted that Fourth Uncle married Tang Li before handing the company over to him. This proves that Grandfather wants them to be together. Why don't we tell Grandfather about Tang Li having a gigolo outside, something that Fourth Uncle doesn't care about?"
"I think," Qi Ming, the Second Son, continued, "we can make Fourth Uncle have sex with other women, then we'll video call Grandfather and tell Grandfather about Tang Li's gigolo. If we do that, Grandfather will be disappointed in them."
"As long as grandpa is disappointed in them, he won't give them more inheritance. When that time comes, everyone will get a fair share, then we can outnumber them and take back the Qi Cooperation."
Everyone agreed with this idea, so Qi Hao called someone to tail and drug Qi Yihan and make him sleep with a woman when he was unconscious.
The three brothers felt that the matter was settled and returned to their own courtyards.
When First Madam got back, she counted how many people she had in her family.
"There are only seven people in our family, including Haohao. Third Master is not a threat because they only have four. But Second Master's family also has seven people. If we really have to split Father's inheritance, ours and Second Master's will be the same."
Although everyone wanted to deal with Qi Yihan together, they secretly hoped that their family would occupy the most shares. That way, they would have the most shares and the right to speak.
"We knew this day would come. Second Brother should have gotten married earlier," Qi Bailing, the Fourth Son who was 21 years old, said.
First Madam and Qi Ming were a bit regretful as well.
First Master suddenly thought of someone. "Who said that our family has as many people as Second Master's family?"
They all looked at him.
First Master looked at them and said, "I have another son called Ling Xuan. He's the same age as Bailing."
Hearing that, they were all shocked, surprised, and confused.
Lady Wang then screamed at the top of her lungs. "Qi Yaohui, what do you mean?"
After saying that, she covered her chest and took two steps back as if she couldn't take the blow. Then, she pounced on First Master crazily.
"How dare you cheat on me behind my back? The bastard of a mistress is the same age as my BaiLing. Qi Yaohui, I'm gonna kill you."
At once, cries and angry roars resounded, which were heard by the other two families.
This also let the other two families know that there was one more person who could compete with them for the family assets.
…
The next morning, when Tang Li found out that First Master had brought his bastard son to his father, Qi Yihan had already gone to the hospital.
Tang Li hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of rice and also went to the hospital.
The hospital that their father was in was a private hospital. No matter whether it was the medical conditions or the hospital environment, it was one of the best in the country. Those who could come here to seek treatment had more than millions of assets.
The car stopped outside the main entrance of the Inpatient Department. When Tang Li got out of the car, she suddenly felt the presence of the artifact spirit. She paused and then smiled. "Looks like the male lead has shown up."
Then, she walked towards the inpatient department.
The inpatient department was a large cluster of villas, with each villa occupied by one patient.
When Tang Li walked into the villa, other than the few masters and Qi Lingxuan, everyone else was gathered in the courtyard outside the living room.
First Madam was crying and her children looked sad, too.
The people from the other two families looked sad as well. It was obvious that they were also very angry with First Master who suddenly brought back a bastard son to take a share of the inheritance.
When Tang Li saw this scene, she couldn't sympathize with them at all. Instead, she crossed her arms and stood there as if she was watching a good show. She said to herself sarcastically, "Previously, everyone was wary of Yihan and wanted him to work for the family for free. Now, First Master brought back a bastard son out of thin air to take a bite out of the inheritance."
The expressions of Second and Third Madams were extremely distorted.
First Madam and her children were even more aggrieved. They didn't want to have another one to share the family fortune with.
"Humph!" First Madam wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said fiercely, "I'm not going to acknowledge him."
"It doesn't matter if you don't acknowledge him, because Father will acknowledge him."
"Tang Li, you…" Lady Wang was so angry that she wanted to take the anger out on Tang Li as she could not find anyone else.
Tang Li said disdainfully, "Don't yell at me. I'm not your punching bag. If you're pissed off, then go ask Father not to acknowledge him."
These words almost made First Madam suffocate.
Tang Li was not a junior and was not terrified by her status as an elder. No matter how angry First Madam was, she could not do anything to Tang Li.
However, because she was so aggrieved that If she didn't take her anger out on someone, she would definitely go crazy. She couldn't use her status as an elder to suppress Tang Li. but she could use Tang Li's secret to do so. "Ha! What right does a person who has a gigolo outside have to say such things? You and Qi Yaohui are the same kind of people. Don't make me tell Father what you did because you won't get a penny then."
"Are you threatening me?" Tang Li squinted. After cursing the original owner in her head, she snorted and said, "He and I are just friends, unlike your husband who brought back a son who is as old as Qi Bailing. Isn't that ironic?"
"You… you… you…"
First Madam rolled her eyes and looked like she was about to faint from anger. Qi Bailing quickly supported her and glared at Tang Li. "Tang…"
Tang Li looked at her coldly and spoke first. "When an elder is speaking, you should keep your mouth shut!"
Qi Bailing's chest heaved with anger.
The other two families watched on the side without interrupting.
At that moment, First Master, Second Master, and Third Master walked out, but Qi Yihan and Qi Lingxuan did not.
The three masters had different expressions, but no one said anything.
Seeing First Master, First Madam glared at him, boiling with anger.
Second Madam and Third Madam asked anxiously,
"Yi Cheng, what did father say?"
"Zhenhe, what's the message from father?"
