Chapter 203 Waiting for price
"Dad, please speak quickly. Don't you see that Master Xue is getting impatient?"
"That's right. Li Mingxia is just a little girl. Dad, is your grandson more important than him? Are you confused?"
"Hurry up and speak! Dad!"
This time, even Hua couldn't sit still. She was afraid that Mr. Li would not be able to let go of Li Mingxia. Wouldn't the Li family be finished? Wouldn't Li Zhengxue be finished? Wouldn't the wealth and glory she had always wanted be finished? This was not acceptable! No matter what she said, it was not acceptable!
"Mr. Li, why are you..."
"If you want to take our girl Mingxia back as a concubine, I have no objection. Let's do what we want. If you want something else, it depends on what price you can offer. We have such a big girl, and we raise her so beautifully, but you can't just do whatever you want. Don't you think this makes sense, Master Xue?"
Mr. Li held it in for a long time before finally saying this.
No one knew that Mr. Li was not considering Li Mingxia because he was reluctant to let her go. He just hoped that Xue Li could give him more things, or a higher price!
Xue Li was the first to react, and the last bit of relief on his face disappeared in an instant.
"Li Mingxia is very good. If I have the opportunity, I would like to bring her home in a grand manner and will not let her suffer any grievances. As for you, I will also satisfy you." Xue Li pondered for a moment. He was satisfied with Mr. Li's understanding, but because Li Zheng had learned bad things, Xue Li no longer had any confidence in the people of the Li family.
"Just now you wanted your son to give you the rights of Li Mingxia's marriage. I think your son doesn't seem to be willing. What basis do you have for promising me?" Xue Li looked at Mr. Li with some suspicion and didn't quite believe what he said.
"If that girl Mingxia is yours, then you can do whatever you want. You can take her home whenever you say so!" Old Master Li narrowed his eyes and looked at Xue Li, saying in a low voice.
Xue Li was stunned, he had never thought of such a shameless method. He originally thought that since he got to know Li Mingxia through Li Zhengxue, with more opportunities to interact with each other, they would slowly develop a good impression of each other. Even if the path with Li Zhengxue didn't work out, and only the path with Grandpa Li was left, Xue Li had similar ideas, but Grandpa Li's words were more effective than Li Zhengxue's, so Xue Li planned a little more.
Although he was well prepared today, Xue Li was still shocked by what Mr. Li said.
Is this something a human being can say? Is this something an elder in one’s family can say? Is this something a grandfather can do to his granddaughter?
"Honestly, Mr. Li, with what you have done now, I believe you when you say you have a grudge against Miss Li and that you picked her up from somewhere else." Mr. Li could naturally understand the sarcasm in Xue Li's words, but there was no point in saying it at this time.
To a certain extent, Mr. Li did not care about Li Mingxia at all. After all, as he said, you cannot write two Li characters with one stroke. Li Mingxia's bad reputation did have an impact on them. But no matter what, Li Mingxia's family had already moved out of the old house. There might be some impact, but it would definitely not be a major one.
If this incident today happened to Li Mingxi, then Mr. Li would definitely reconsider, or at least he would not agree to it so readily.
In Li Mingxia's words, Mr. Li is a person who knows clearly who is close to him and who is not.
Mr. Li looked at Xue Li, and when he saw that he didn't say anything else after he said this, he knew that Xue Li must be tempted by this proposal, but he just couldn't say it out of face.
"Mr. Xue, you are sincere to our girl Mingxia. What kind of family are you? Who wouldn't want to marry into our family? This is all Mingxia's blessing. As her grandfather, I am doing everything for her. How can you say that we have a grudge?" Old Master Li smiled, his gray beard shaking.
"Then our forty taels of silver..."
Mr. Li asked tentatively.
No one cared whether a woman like Li Mingxia could endure such humiliation, and no one cared about Li Mingxia's life or death. Some even felt that Li Mingxia was not as important as the forty taels of silver.
Xue Li didn't have the slightest fondness for this family, but he had to admit that he was attracted to them.
Yes, he was tempted by this proposal. It was not that he did not have the patience to contact Li Mingxia, but he could also see that Li Mingxia had no intention of contacting him. If it still did not work in the end, Xue Li might have no choice but to adopt this strategy.
"Not yet. If necessary later, I will send someone to notify you." Xue Li thought about it and decided not to reject the proposal.
It would be good to be able to be with Li Mingxia openly. Although the title of concubine is not a good word, he will definitely treat Li Mingxia well, and with Li Mingxia's abilities, her mother will definitely look up to her.
Even if she is a concubine, she is still a noble concubine, which is worthy of her status.
"As for the forty taels of silver, it's not a matter of urgency. Let's talk about it later." Xue Li stood up and glanced at the sky outside.
"I'm really sorry to have disturbed you for so long today. I'll visit you again another day." After Xue Li said this, he took his servants and left without looking back.
Everyone in the Li family's main house looked at the messy table in front of them and the gifts piled on the cabinet, and they couldn't tell what they felt.
"Isn't our Sister Xi much prettier than that Li Mingxia? I think this Xue Li is just a dog who looks down on others. Listen to what he said just now, are those words spoken by human beings? If we learn from our brother and become successful in the future, we will definitely teach him a lesson!" After watching Xue Li leave, Li Dalang could not help but curse him loudly.
It is not known whether he was angry that Xue Li turned against him today, or was angry that Xue Li did not like their Sister Xi.
"Dad, I will remember this grudge. When I get through this, I will make Xue Li come to our house and kneel down to admit his mistake to you!" Li Zhengxue gritted his teeth and said angrily!
Li Dalang's eyes lit up, as if he had seen the scene of Xue Li kneeling before him and offering him mountains of gold and silver. He couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.
"Okay, okay, this is my good son. He has a promising future!"
As they were talking, the father and son seemed to have already won, completely forgetting the humiliating experience just now, looking like winners.
