Zhang Ling couldn't help but be shocked when she looked at the scene in front of her.
It's not just because of the uncle kneeling down for his nephew.
What she is very concerned about is what reason does the old patriarch have to Li Xiang?
To actually push an uncle to such an extent.
Li Xiang smiled very smoothly and helped Uncle XX up from the ground.
Zhang Ling did not see any psychological burden on his face.
It is true that ungrateful elders like Uncle XX have their faults first.
Li Xiang just used some tricks to get him to apologize.
On the surface, it doesn't seem like there's much wrong with it.
But Li Xiang was still criticized by brainless onlookers passing by.
He said that even if the elders made mistakes again, Li Xiang, as a junior, could not force the elders to kneel down to the juniors.
Therefore, there are many voices accusing Li Xiang of being a rude person.
Obviously these accusers seem to have forgotten the basic right and wrong.
I just want to randomly choose an object to vent to, and throw away my negative emotions in life like throwing garbage.
Until then, she seemed to understand somewhat.
The old patriarch thought of using this method to make Li Xiang bear some unwarranted infamy.
What specific benefits does this have for the old patriarch?
Zhang Ling has no clue at the moment.
Perhaps he simply wanted to teach his annoying grandson a lesson through the verbal criticism of outsiders.
However, when she saw Li Xiang's calm expression after hearing those insults.
She was a little confused.
It was as if those people who were calling names were not Li Xiang.
How can a person be so detached from the world?
She felt that Li Xiang might have already had the heart to see through the world of mortals.
Little did he know that for Li Xiang, those insults were really not about him.
That's why he can be free and carefree.
On the other hand, Zhen Lixiang did take care of him.
After hearing those insults, I kept my current calm state.
Because to the real Li Xiang, these people in the Li family are no longer his relatives.
Therefore, a normal person with a true sense of independence will never take strangers' stupid accusations to heart.
Only abnormal people allow their words and deeds to be led by mindless strangers.
Naturally, there have never been many normal people in this world.
I'm honored that he really is a rare normal person.
I remember when Li Xiang heard these remarks from Zhen Li Xiang, his first instinct was that the man in front of him was extremely crazy.
But the longer he stayed in contact with him, the more he discovered that Li Xiang's madness had real capital.
To this day, he is even more certain that Zhen Li Xiang is indeed that rare normal person.
So Li Xiang sincerely admired Zhen Li Xiang for saying "he is a normal person".
Back to business.
Li Xiang and Zhang Ling stepped into the dormitory threshold again.
This time, many tribesmen seemed to have been brainwashed.
Everyone showed flattering smiles, and a hole quickly opened in the crowded dormitory, leading directly to the old patriarch's side.
Zhang Ling and Li Xiang walked toward the patriarch like celebrities walking on a red carpet.
The old patriarch smiled and said before Li Xiang could speak:
"Li Xiang, please tell me. Tell me the conditions under which you are willing to take over as the clan leader. As long as I am able to do so, I will definitely try my best to help you complete it."
With these remarks, the old clan leader seemed to have already made an agreement with many clan members in the dormitory.
When the old clan leader said it, many clan members present did not show the slightest sense of surprise.
However, Zhang Ling, who had experienced numerous storms and waves, was a little surprised.
The old patriarch gave the choice directly to Li Xiang.
Let him make whatever conditions he wants.
This is already very tempting to ordinary people.
It also made Zhang Ling feel more and more that the old patriarch had a huge conspiracy to insist on Li Xiang taking over as the patriarch.
So she looked sideways at Li Xiang beside her, grabbed his arm three times, and then shook her head slightly to signal him to think carefully.
Li Xiang smiled confidently at her and patted the back of his arm a few times with one hand.
Give her the feeling that she is under his control.
She had just relaxed her mind because of this, but because of his opening, her heart was in her throat again.
I saw Li Xiang speaking to the old patriarch seemingly casually:
"Really? I do have several conditions here. Patriarch, if you can agree to them all, I can consider becoming the leader of the tribe."
"Speak! You speak out first. Even if some clan members object, as the clan leader, I will help you coordinate and persuade, so that all clan members will accept it."
The old patriarch looked towards Li Xi with excitement and a hint of worry.
Worried that Li Xiang would make demands that he was unwilling to fulfill.
For example, the old patriarch knew that Li Xiang and Li Xi had always been at odds with each other, and that Li Xi and Zhang Ling were at odds with each other.
In order to win the beauty's smile and avoid future troubles, Li Xiang forced Li Xi to apologize and admit his mistake in front of everyone, or simply drive him out of the family.
To be honest, except for all the conditions for Li Xi, the old patriarch can basically help Li Xiang complete them.
Therefore, the originally calm people at the scene became commotion again.
Especially those headed by Uncle XX, who usually had some feuds with Li Xiang, all of them were frightened by this.
I'm really worried that Li wants to take this opportunity to let the old patriarch deal with and punish them.
Because they all know that the old patriarch will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
As long as Li Xiang dares to put forward conditions, the old patriarch will definitely make them happen.
Of course, only Li Xi among these people did not have the slightest concern.
All the tribesmen were shocked when they heard that Li Xiang had already prepared the first condition for them.
The first one is that he wants to write Zhang Ling and Xiaodouzi into the family tree as his Li Xiang's wife and daughter.
The main purpose of Zhenli Xiang is to disguise himself as different in this way.
He just wanted to let everyone in the family and his ancestors know that he really had a wife and daughter.
It is a kind of psychological comfort for Zhen Li Xiang.
After all, in the current social environment, everyone will think that Zhen Li Xiang is an alien.
This also forces Zhen Lixiang to have to disguise himself all the time.
Including misleading relatives and friends into thinking that it is normal for him to really think badly.
Li wanted to formally state the second point, but Li Xi took the lead and shouted his objections.
Even though the old patriarch repeatedly winked at Li Xi to stop messing around.
And this somewhat brainless woman seemed like she couldn't understand it at all.
Taking the lead, the riot became even more violent.
In front of the old patriarch, the leaders tried to push Li Xiang and Zhang Ling out.
If it weren't for the old patriarch standing in front of the two of them to protect him.
Maybe this group of people really succeeded.
What’s even more ridiculous is that Li Xi thinks that he is the guardian of family rights and interests.
Still clinging to the fact that Xiaodouzi is not really Li Xiang's biological flesh and blood.
The leader kept yelling that he wanted the three of them to be driven away immediately.
Li Xiang looked contemptuously at the Li family members who roared at him.
He then gave the old patriarch a meaningful look.
It means that he should deal with the current situation as soon as possible, otherwise he will leave again without hesitation.
The old patriarch was afraid that Li Xiang would really leave again.
So he began to use his absolute authority to temporarily silence everyone.
Then, he grabbed Li Xi's hand, came to a relatively quiet corner, and began to educate his precious granddaughter.
Li Xiang finally understood why Li Xiang was unwilling to admit that he was related to this group of Li family members.
It is not difficult to see from the opposition remarks of this group of tribesmen.
They only have interests in their eyes.
Even if someone damages their interests even a penny.
They must also immediately strive for at least two cents of profit to make up for the loss.
Such a family has long lost the human touch that a family should have.
I understand better why the real Li Xiang always talks about him. I have always envied the sincere friendship between Li Xiang and his grandma, who depend on each other for life.
In the past, he once thought that the real Li Xiang was wealthy and overseas Chinese.
Now, he thinks that he is indeed much happier than the real Li Xiang.
Because he once had a grandmother, and after her death, he had Zhang Ling and Xiaodouzi.
It seems that Li Xiang has no family he can talk to except money.
I wonder what the old patriarch muttered to Li Xi alone?
Li Xi's sudden change of attitude shocked all the clan members who had previously supported Li Xi.
Li Xi politely apologized in front of Li Xiang.
She said that just now she, Li Xi, was instigated by someone with ulterior motives and was knocked unconscious.
After some education from the patriarch, I realized I was wrong.
She also lowered her attitude and asked Li Xiang to forgive her for her ignorance today.
Zhang Ling was unwilling to believe herself until this moment, and suspected that the scene of Li Xi's apology she saw was not true.
Many of the tribesmen present were also shocked.
But the facts were before their eyes and they all had to choose to believe it.
Zhang Ling is even more convinced that if the old patriarch lets Li Xiang be the patriarch, most likely the biggest beneficiary will be Li Xi.
That's why Li Xi was able to quickly lower his profile and apologize.
As for what conspiracy the old patriarch is brewing, she needs to continue to see.
The old patriarch looked at Li Xi's reaction and finally showed a satisfied smile.
I personally thought that I had made a profit by sending Li Xi to study at XX Business School.
As for Li Xi, whom the old patriarch didn't even know, his so-called study at XX Business School was just in name.
I thought Li Xiang would accept Li Xi's apology without hesitation.
He looked a little scornfully, looking at Li Xi who kept bowing and apologizing, but didn't say a word for a long time.
How could Li Xi, who had always been taken care of by others, bear such trouble and neglect?
She proudly believed that she had already apologized.
It gave him a big face as Li Xiangtian.
How dare you, Li Xiang, treat me like this?
The more Li Xi thought about it, the angrier he became and he stood up suddenly, raised his finger and pointed at Li Xiang's nose and accused:
"Hey, Li Xiang, I've already apologized to you. Do you accept it or not? You can just give me a few words. What does it look like for a grown man to be so nagging?"
Zhang Ling and Li Xiang were both completely amused when they heard Li Xi's words.
This is the first time I've seen someone apologize so arrogantly.
Apology is your recognition and redemption of the mistakes you have made. Whether the victim accepts the apology or not depends on whether you are sincere enough to apologize.
Obviously, Li Xi obviously lacks sincerity in this regard.
Li Xiang looked at Li Xi with a meaningful smile and said:
"Did you apologize? Sorry, I was distracted and didn't see it."
"What? You were distracted and didn't see it!"
Li Xi was so angry that he almost grabbed Li Xiang, threw him to the ground and ravaged him in front of everyone.
Li Xiang saw Li Xi who was about to go berserk, and continued to wave his hands calmly and responded:
"Forget it, we are all a family, why do we need to apologize? It's so awkward!"
Li Xiang helped Li Xi say what he wanted to say the most.
Li Xi didn't seem to understand the underlying irony in Li Xiang's tone.
Because of what Li Xiang said, he happily turned around to show off to the old patriarch.
She said that Li Xi had perfectly fulfilled her grandfather's request and apologized.
People who can say such things really understand the meaning of an apology?
Many meaningful apologies involve four steps.
That is: admitting mistakes, explaining, self-blame, and compensation.
But in fact, some apologies in life fail, or are "pseudo-apologies."
The best outcome of an apology is that the damaged relationship is effectively restored;
The worst-case outcome of an apology is to cause deeper harm to the victim.
And Li Xi's apology is obviously the worst apology.
After listening to Li Xi's words, the old patriarch's face looked as doting as if he were doting on a cat, and he kept stroking her hair.
Not noticing Li Xiang for the time being, he had already taken Zhang Ling's hand again and headed towards the dormitory door.
"Li Xiang, please continue talking. What is the next condition? How..."
The old patriarch felt something was wrong as he spoke. When he could no longer sense Li Xiang, he once again found that the two of them had immediately reached the threshold.
The nervous old patriarch pushed Li Xi away from him.
Li Xi accidentally fell down during the process, pretending to be weak and crying aggrievedly.
The old patriarch ignored Li Xi who was sitting on the ground and quickly stepped forward and chased him two steps and shouted:
"Li Xiang, stop! Where are you going? Come back quickly, you haven't even finished raising your conditions yet."
Li Xiang stopped, did not look back, waved his hand and said:
"No need to go on. I really have no interest in the head of the Li family. I still think that Li Xi is very suitable. If I really have something to do with that head of the family, I will leave first. Goodbye!"
This behavior is just to tell everyone present a fact.
This clan leader was not what he wanted to be.
It was the old clan leader and you clansmen who specially invited him to be the leader.
Li Xi is definitely a living treasure!
I heard again that Li wanted to recommend her to be the leader of the clan.
He was so excited that he didn't care about the pain on his body. He stood up immediately, stepped forward and hugged the patriarch's arm and said coquettishly:
"Grandpa Patriarch, you heard it. Brother Li Xiang said that Xi'er is very suitable to be the Patriarch. Just..."
Before the old patriarch could finish what he said, his body shook violently, and Li Xi staggered and almost fell down again.
Then he glared at Li Xi with a hint of anger in his serious eyes.
With just this glance, Li Xi probably felt the anger of the old patriarch toward her that he had never felt before.
For a moment, he finally lowered his head in fear and hurriedly retreated behind the old patriarch, hiding in the corner like a frightened cat.
"Wait a minute!" The old patriarch once again saw the two of them stepping out of the threshold with one foot. He stopped pretending to be an old patriarch and took the initiative to chase after them. "Li Xiang, wait a minute, I have a few more words to say."
Tell you this. After I finish speaking, if you still want to leave, I will never stop you again."
Zhang Ling accidentally saw the old patriarch chasing after her, and specifically reminded Li Xiang beside her.
Li Xiang originally planned to pretend not to hear and continue to leave.
But for her sake, he took back his steps again, turned around and looked at the oncoming old patriarch and said:
"What? Say it!"
The old patriarch was panting and trying hard to regulate his breath, and said mysteriously in his ear:
"I know that your Zhihua Technology portfolio has been a bit too big recently. The capital chain is about to be broken. As long as you agree to take over as the head of the Li family, I can personally give you 100 million in working capital for Zhihua Technology without interest.
