The Road to Becoming a Son-in-Law

Chapter 254 Retribution

Chapter 254 Retribution

However, after having Li's father beaten up, Xu Xuan stopped caring about the Li family. If he hadn't seen Li's father and Li Jiaojiao again today, Xu Xuan would have almost forgotten about the matter.

Moreover, if Li's father dared to use inferior fabrics in front of them, it goes without saying that he would do so in other situations as well.

Xu Xuan patted his chest and assured Chen Feng, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this."

"Then I'll thank you in advance." Chen Feng didn't stand on ceremony. He knew that with the Xu family's status in the city, dealing with the Li family would be a piece of cake. However, he remembered the favor Xu Xuan had done for him.

Because of this incident, Xu Xuan finally got a short holiday the next day. When he breathed in the fresh morning air again, Xu Xuan was almost moved to tears, making Xiao Wu next to him feel extremely guilty.

Because he had been slacking off while the young master was training these days, he said, "Little Wu, I haven't been able to take you out to play these days. I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Xiao Wu was so startled that she quickly shook her head, thinking that Xu Xuan had discovered something. She secretly observed Xu Xuan's expression, but he didn't seem to have discovered anything, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Xuan added, "I haven't been back for so long, Father must miss me."

Xiao Wu recalled the leisurely manner of Master Xu when he went to report last time, and lied to Xu Xuan without changing his expression: "Master has always had a deep affection for you, young master. This time you have been away from home for so long, Master must miss you very much."

When Xu Xuan arrived home, he saw his father, Master Xu, leisurely playing chess with the butler. "Father!"

Upon hearing the word "father," Master Xu instinctively looked over and, seeing Xu Xuan, was taken aback. "You little rascal, did you sneak back again? Do you want to come back and be locked up?"

Xu Xuan: "..."

"He must not be his father's biological son," Xu Xuan said. "No, I came back because I had something to do."

"What could possibly be wrong with you?" Old Master Xu curled his lip in distrust. Did he not know Xu Xuan well?

"Then tell me, what is it?"

Xu Xuan said, "Father, do you still remember the Li family who cooperated with us before?"

After thinking for a long time, Master Xu remembered a name and said, "Mr. Li?"

Li Sheng was Li's father's name. Xu Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, the things I'm going to do after I come back are related to Li Sheng."

Suddenly, as if struck by a sudden thought, Master Xu's eyes widened, and he asked Xu Xuan, "You wouldn't happen to have taken a liking to that Li Jiaojiao, would you?"

Xu Xuan staggered from the shock of his father's words, looking at him in disbelief. "Father, do you really think I have such poor taste?"

"As long as it's not that, it's fine." Old Master Xu patted his chest. Although he didn't mind his daughter-in-law's future background, and he didn't like to insist on matching social status like other parents, her character had to be good. The two people in the Li family were black-hearted to the core. As long as Xu Xuan didn't fall for Li Jiaojiao, everything was negotiable.

"Tell your father who you've taken a fancy to."

"what?"

Realizing he had just blurted out something unintentional, Mr. Xu immediately changed the subject: "So, what's up?"

“Li Jiaojiao and Li Sheng have now become entangled with Chen Feng again, so I came back to ask you, Dad, to help me deal with the Li family.”

"So that's what it was about." Old Master Xu glared at Xu Xuan. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

He initially thought Xu Xuan had taken a liking to Li Jiaojiao.

Xu Xuan: "Hmm?"

"Alright, leave this to your father," said Master Xu. "Go back now, you'll get the news in a few days."

Xu Xuan had originally wanted to stay at home a little longer, but seeing how his father seemed to want to get rid of him, Xu Xuan couldn't believe it: "Father, are you trying to get rid of me?"

"That's right, otherwise what would you be doing staying at home?" Old Master Xu admitted directly.

"Father, tell me, am I really your biological son?" Xu Xuan asked with a hint of resentment.

Old Master Xu rolled his eyes and gave him a speechless look. "I told you long ago that I picked you up, but you just didn't believe me."

Xu Xuan: "..."

If Xu Xuan hadn't been certain that he was Master Xu's biological son, he would have truly believed that he had been adopted.

Master Xu didn't think this matter was too troublesome, and simply had someone report the Li family's clothing shop.

When Mr. Xu reported them, he was secretly pleased. It seemed that his son also loathed their family. Fortunately, Xu Xuan did not take a liking to Li Jiaojiao, and he himself did not like their family.

The Li family's clothing shop has many problems, and now every time he reports it, it's proven to be true.

When the authorities investigated, they found that things were indeed as Master Xu had said. So they immediately ordered his shop to be sealed off, without giving him a chance to explain. They directly informed the Li family of the closure of the shop.

"That's not how it happened! Please let me explain, sir! I've been framed! You have to believe me! My shop!" Father Li cried and tried to stop the people while pleading with the officials.

But how could he possibly defeat these people? In the end, his shop was shut down.

"Someone has already reported this to me, and I've already investigated. You don't need to keep arguing with me. I won't believe what you're saying. I'm sealing off your shop." The official frowned as he glanced at Li's father, who was clutching his trouser leg. He felt disgusted; he hadn't expected Li's father to end up in such a sorry state.

Mr. Li probably had no other choice but to do this. Otherwise, why would he put aside his pride and beg the officials not to shut down his shop? This was the culmination of his years of hard work, and he really couldn't afford to lose it.

Seeing all the hard work they had put in over the years now sealed off by a few seals, Li's father and Li Jiaojiao were filled with regret, their hearts shattered.

"What are we going to do? This is where we eat, and now it's all blocked off. They're really cutting off our way out!" Mr. Li cried incoherently.

Things have already developed to this point, and there's really no way to salvage the situation. It's their own fault for going too far with what they did before; it's normal for them to be reported. They should have expected this outcome from the beginning.

Li Jiaojiao was also heartbroken, but she didn't know how to comfort her father. Seeing him so sad and upset made her feel terrible. She really didn't expect Xu Xuan to be so cruel, but what could she do?

"Dad, you'd better get up quickly. There are so many people watching here. The shop has already been sealed off. It's a done deal. We don't have the power to change it. Let's go home first and see if there's anything we can do."
