Chapter 22: Did I Become the Li Family Head Overnight?
"Don't worry," Uncle Han continued, his voice a touch too chipper for the situation. "We'll try to help you sort things out."
he continued "There are rumors your old family head was killed by a Star Destroyer Cannon in the Astraea Star Territory. But some think he might be alive..., Maybe he faked his death?"
"Then again, your family elders left first, claiming they were going to avenge him. Maybe they just got a head start on the escape plan."
"Next, your new family leader cut off your allowance. According to my experience, he didn't target you. Your new family leader was left to transfer the family property, so he naturally has no time to care about your pocket money."
"if your old leader really died, the main force of your family will still be there. Not a small force, he ran away with everyone and took away the family property quietly."
"In summary, your Li family is moving everything off-world, and you... Congratulations, you have been forgotten by the family and have become a poor ghost."
Congratulations, huh?!!
"Thank you, Uncle Han." Li Wei said with a fake smile on his face.
"It's a small thing. By the way, if you are short of spiritual stones and want to sell your villa, remember to contact me first."
"Dudu."
Li Wei was paralyzed!
He originally thought that today Uncle Han would send lawyers from the law firm to surround the Li family and fight a beautiful lawsuit.
The best thing would be to kill the ungrateful new family head and double his pocket money.
But who knew how things would develop and reach the current situation?
"What happened???"
Li Wei still didn't react. He looked at the large house with tears in his eyes. At this moment, his pocket money was really gone. The universe was so big that it was impossible for him to find his family members...
Overnight, he became a complete pauper, and his only property was everything in this villa.
"Duh duh."
A sharp knock interrupted Li Wei's gloomy thoughts. He dragged himself over to the door and opened it with a heavy sigh.
This time, Yuexian's smile could not make his numb heart feel happy at all. Instead, he felt a little empty.
Damn the new head of the family, he forgot about him when he ran away!
A sharp knock interrupted Li Wei's gloomy thoughts. He dragged himself over to the door and opened it with a heavy sigh.
"Master, there's a letter for you at home," Yuexian said, her voice filled with concern as she noticed Li Wei's downcast expression. She handed him the envelope.
Li Wei opened it and took a look.
The letter is from Li Ming, the damn new head of the family!
[Li Wei, I remember you beat me when I was a child and said that I would never be the head of the family in this life, I think what you said makes sense. so I might as well let you be the head of the family. So, I'm appointing you the head of the Li family. You're the last of our bloodline on Earth. Carry on our family's legacy.]
"You fucking Li Ming, you'd better not let me see you in this life!"
This was all planned!!
Li Wei took a deep breath. He no longer thought about this matter. He frowned and looked at Yuexian, who didn't know everything yet. "What do you think we should do if I become poor?"
Yuexian frowned and thought seriously for a while.
"Master, actually we can do this. There are 108 households in Jixian Village. We can go to each house to have a meal a day and get some spiritual stones to live. This way, it will not be frequent and it will not be annoying."
"You also have many classmates, We could visit them as well."
As she spoke, she flashed the ring in her hand and waved a book in front of Li Wei's eyes, "If that doesn't work, I have a secret book here."
[Stealth Thief Secret Technique]
Hmm, very considerate.
Li Wei simply forced a smile, left the house, and arrived in front of Grandma Ling's house.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a knock on the door.
Grandma Ling's usual warmth was replaced by a frosty indifference. She regarded Li Wei with a critical eye.
"Young Li, what brings you here? It's not time for you to collect your belongings yet," she stated flatly.
In a bad mood, Li Wei didn't want to talk nonsense with this old woman, so he simply extended his hand.
Li Wei ignored her curt tone, his expression unchanged. He held out his hand, a silent request.
"Neighbors helping neighbors, right, Grandma Ling? Your skills are renowned. Uncle Chen even praised your work," Li Wei said with a forced smile.
"You..."
Grandma Ling's face flushed with anger. She slammed her cane on the ground. "Don't try to threaten me with Uncle Chen!"
Li Wei maintained his composure. "I wouldn't dream of it. I'm simply stating a fact. Besides, a little caution never hurt anyone."
Li Wei still kept smiling, his smile looking quite fake.
"Hmph!"
Grandma Ling didn't bother with further explanations. She tossed a ring towards Li Wei, her eyes filled with contempt. "You used to have the Li family name to prop you up, and the villagers here showed you respect. But now..."
Her voice trailed off, but the implication was clear. "Without the Li family, you're nothing. Once you're kicked out, no one will care about you."
"Bang!"
The door of Grandma Ling's house was closed.
Li Wei's expression darkened. The realization of his predicament washed over him. He and Grandma Ling had officially severed their ties. No longer could he rely on the Li family name or the villagers' goodwill.
A bitter laugh escaped his lips. "So be it," he muttered, a glint of defiance in his eyes. "Without the Li family, I'm nothing. But I'll prove her wrong."
His mind raced, recalling the struggles of his Li family in the game. They had faced adversity, built from nothing, and ultimately risen to power. "It's time to fight!"
He is an ancestor.
How could he disgrace his lineage?
"From today on, be a hard-working ancestor!"
