Chapter 1272: Chapter 1272
"Brother Sun, I’m here to plead on behalf of my sister."
Li Wenmao quickly opened his mouth, speaking earnestly, "Our Li Family has already severed ties with Tang Ming long ago, and my sister is no longer his fiancée. If you’re seeking revenge on Tang Ming, I ask you to show mercy and spare her."
"Your Li Family was originally Tang Ming’s supporter. Now that he’s fallen, you immediately distance yourselves from him. How despicable."
Sun Zhuangjia sneered contemptuously.
"Survival of the fittest, the strong have the power."
Li Wenmao looked earnestly at Sun Zhuangjia, "A few days ago, the Li Family established an alliance with the Sun Family, and our Li Family is now a shareholder in Tangming Group. This shows we have no affection for Tang Ming. I hope Brother Sun, for the sake of our two families’ alliance, can spare my sister."
Sun Mantang nodded repeatedly, smiling as he looked at Sun Zhuangjia, "Now that you’ve become a Nine-star Martial Master, no one in the West Sea Province dares to oppose the Sun Family. The overseas Li Family has already switched allegiances. Since we are allies, Zhuangjia, you mustn’t act rashly."
"Hmph, does the Sun Family now even need the Li Family as an ally?"
Sun Zhuangjia snorted coldly and said domineeringly, "Although the overseas Li Family is powerful, they no longer interest me."
Hearing Sun Zhuangjia’s words, Li Wenmao felt helpless. If it were before, not even Sun Mantang, the head of the Sun Family, would have dared to criticize the Li Family .
But now that Sun Zhuangjia has become a Nine-star Martial Master, he has every right to speak such brazen words.
"Brother Sun shouldn’t say this. Our Li Family has substantial influence overseas. Once the Li Family and Sun Family form an alliance, the Sun Family’s influence will not be limited to just domestically, and..."
Li Wenmao hesitated before solemnly promising, "If you spare my sister, I guarantee that from now on, the Li Family will fully support the Sun Family in expanding into the overseas market."
"That’s indeed a good proposal."
Sun Zhuangjia began to hesitate.
"Big brother, I don’t need you to rescue me."
Li Wenxuan glanced at Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, gritting her teeth as she said, "I won’t stand by and watch my students face danger without taking action. Unless you can rescue both of them as well, I won’t leave alone."
Li Wenmao instantly became furious, scolding, "You’re already in a precarious situation, and you still have the mind to worry about others? You’re too ambitious! I told you long ago not to get involved with Tang Ming, but you refused to listen and insisted on getting involved."
"In that case, I now officially announce my separation from the Li Family."
Li Wenxuan stubbornly held her head high, gritting her teeth as she spoke, "After all, the family only sees me as a tool for profit, letting me get close to whoever benefits them most. I’ve had enough."
Li Wenxuan had long been displeased with Li Wenmao’s use of her, and finally, it erupted today.
"You, you ungrateful wretch."
Li Wenmao hadn’t expected Li Wenxuan to resist so fiercely this time, gritting his teeth as he called out, "Third Uncle, don’t let her act out any further."
As the words fell, Li Shusen immediately stepped to Li Wenxuan’s side and reached out to grab her in front of Li Wenmao.
"Let go of me, you’re trying to control my actions again."
Li Wenxuan struggled violently, "Before, to please Tang Xin, you prevented me from attending Tang Ming’s funeral by force, and now you’re doing it again. What do you think of me?"
"Little sister, stop making trouble, I’m doing this for your own good."
Li Wenmao looked helplessly at Li Wenxuan, "Tang Ming is already dead, and Tang Xin is likely doomed too, so you don’t need to sacrifice yourself for those brothers."
"You’re indeed a sycophant."
Li Wenxuan glared angrily at Li Wenmao.
"Hahaha, Li Wenmao, your sister has quite a personality."
At this moment, Sun Zhuangjia laughed, showing great interest as he said, "Although I have no interest in someone who’s been toyed with by others, since your sister was once engaged to Tang Ming, I’m somewhat interested."
"Brother Sun, what do you mean by that?"
Li Wenmao’s face changed slightly, uncertainly looking at Sun Zhuangjia.
"Li Wenxuan isn’t qualified to be my wife or concubine, but she can be my maid."
Sun Zhuangjia lecherously looked at Li Wenxuan, laughing as he said, "It’s settled then. After I’ve handled matters here, have the Li Family send Li Wenxuan to the Sun Family to be my maid."
Li Wenmao’s face went stiff. The overseas Li Family is quite a significant family, and as the eldest daughter, how could she be someone’s maid? It’s too humiliating.
"Hmph, do you dare to disagree?"
Sun Zhuangjia snorted coldly, "That waste Tang Ming could be Li Wenxuan’s fiancé, and I, an honorable Nine-star Martial Master, am not good enough for such a used object?"
"I, I didn’t mean that."
Li Wenmao quickly shook his head. The Sun Zhuangjia in front of him is a Nine-star Martial Master, destined to become an incredibly powerful figure domestically. If the Li Family can win over Sun Zhuangjia, it would undoubtedly be a great thing.
Thinking of this, Li Wenmao nodded immediately, "Since Brother Sun favors my younger sister, I will certainly ensure this beautiful union is fulfilled."
"Big brother, what are you saying?"
Li Wenxuan looked at Li Wenmao in disbelief, "He’s an enemy of Tang Ming, clearly wanting to torment me to vent his hatred. Are you really going to deliver me to him?"
"I, I trust that Young Master Sun will treat you well."
Li Wenmao lowered his head in guilt, having completely sold out Li Wenxuan this time.
But faced with Sun Zhuangjia, a Nine-star Martial Master, he had no other choice. Though the overseas Li Family also had a Nine-star Martial Master, the benefits of joining with Sun Zhuangjia clearly outweighed the cost of opposing him.
"Haha, this is my family, this is my big brother!"
Li Wenxuan suddenly laughed, a laugh filled with immense sorrow, feeling completely cold-hearted. She bit her teeth and shouted, "I have been Tang Ming’s fiancée. In life, I was his person, and in death, I’ll be his ghost. I’m going to find..."
Faced with the desolate look in Li Wenxuan’s eyes, Li Wenmao knew that his sister wanted to commit suicide. He subtly signaled to Li Shusen with his eyes.
Li Shusen understood immediately and swiftly knocked Li Wenxuan unconscious.
"Young Master Sun, having my sister serve as your maid would be her fortune. Once you have finished your business here, I will certainly send her to your residence."
Li Wenmao gritted his teeth, respectfully bowing to Sun Zhuangjia.
With those words, Li Wenmao immediately led the Li Family members to carry Li Wenxuan away from the scene.
"It’s good that you’re sensible."
Sun Zhuangjia nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze back to Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, "No matter what kind of background or support you two have, today, you will pay for Tang Ming’s debts."
