Chapter 172 Rebuilding the Chen Family Ancestral Hall!
The shrill sound annoyed Chen Dongmei greatly.
"For the sake of our classmate relationship, please, I beg you, put in a good word for me..."
"I beg you……"
"It's all my fault, please forgive me this time, I promise I'll never do it again."
Li Baili grasped at this straw as if it were her lifeline.
If Chen Dongmei doesn't forgive him, the consequences today are predictable.
"Brother Hao, stop messing around, let them get lost!"
Just as Chen Dongmei was at a loss for what to do, Chen Le spoke up from the side.
Zhang Zihao then snorted coldly and waved at Liu Jie.
"Get the hell out of here and stop getting in my way!"
Liu Jie felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He was covered in cold sweat and, disregarding Li Baili's life or death, got into the car and fled alone.
Li Baili didn't dare to linger. She glanced at the departing car, then chased after it, sobbing uncontrollably.
And so the farce came to an end.
The students around Chen Dongmei looked at her with awe.
One by one, they handed over all the money they had just received as gifts.
They all gathered around Chen Dongmei, showering her with compliments.
"Wow, Dongmei is so amazing! She knows so many great people!"
"To my utter surprise, even Li Baili's husband was too scared to speak!"
"Oh my god, I should have stayed with Dongmei. Who would want to talk to Li Baili now!"
"Exactly! Look at her sharp tongue, she deserves to be beaten to death!"
Just then, Chen Baisen suddenly stood up and said arrogantly.
"Alright, alright, you've made such a mess of things by holding a wedding!"
"Chen Le, where did you meet these shady friends of yours? They act like you're some kind of criminal!"
"Is all you've got besides scaring people?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Le immediately let out a cold laugh and narrowed his eyes.
He slowly turned his head and looked directly at Chen Bosen.
At the same time, he slightly opened his mouth, pretending to be very surprised.
"Oh? Who do we have here? It turns out Uncle is here too!"
"Your nephews and nieces suffered humiliation at your own wedding, yet you remained unfazed and even reprimanded them?"
"I never knew my uncle was so broad-minded and upright. I've really learned something new today!"
"You are truly a highly respected elder, worthy of our admiration!"
Upon hearing Chen Le's words, Chen Baisen's face showed anger.
"You little brat, what kind of attitude is that when you talk to me?!"
"I am your elder!"
"No wonder you're a gambler, you don't even care about your own family. How dare you talk back to me in front of so many people? Can you even speak human language? Apologize to me right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Chen Baisen coldly and angrily rebuked.
at this time.
Su Xi stepped forward and stood next to Chen Le, coldly saying, "Mr. Chen, your words are going too far."
"Didn't you just announce in the house that you were going to kick our family out? Why are you calling yourself an elder now?"
"Your role is quite flexible; you can be an elder whenever you want, and not be one when you don't?"
"Since you're not an elder, why should my son, Ah Le, apologize to you? Just because we share the same surname?"
"There are so many people here with the surname Chen, all with the same surname as you, but I haven't seen you kowtow to any of them?"
Su Xi's words immediately made everyone laugh.
Many of Chen Le's brothers cheered, and Chu Yaoyang shouted, "Sister-in-law, you're awesome! You're awesome!"
Su Xi blushed and secretly pinched Chen Le.
"hiss--"
Chen Le jolted in pain, quickly realized what was happening, and frowned, saying:
"Honey, what did you just say?"
"Expelling our family from the clan?!"
Su Xi recounted everything that had just happened without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Chen Bolin sighed repeatedly and said, "That's right, your uncle didn't come back this time to attend your eldest sister's wedding, but to reclaim the homestead and build an ancestral hall!"
Su Xi remained silent for a while before adding, "They also said a lot of unpleasant things. Our father only defended you a few times, and our uncle publicly declared that our entire family was expelled from the clan!"
"The vote is in favor, dear relatives!"
Seeing her father's troubled and sad expression, and hearing Su Xi's words...
Chen Le's face instantly turned icy cold.
Anger welled up inside him.
"Uncle, is this true?!"
"You unanimously agree to expel our family from the clan!"
"And they want to go back to their homestead and rebuild the ancestral hall!"
Chen Le narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Chen Bosen, and questioned him.
No matter what, he was determined to prove his father wrong today!
I've finally made something of myself, I absolutely can't let my father suffer even the slightest grievance.
We cannot easily allow our uncle to be so domineering and arbitrary, and actually expel our family from the clan.
That's very embarrassing.
I don't care about myself, but how can my father, an honest man who has lived a simple life, live if he is pointed at and talked about?
"What, you're still not convinced?"
Chen Baisen laughed and readily admitted it.
"I've already reached an agreement with the village party secretary! This time I'm back not only to rebuild the Chen family ancestral hall, but also to lead the whole village to prosperity!"
"I have the qualifications and the ability!"
"As for expelling you from the Chen family, I don't want to do it either. It's all because of you, you good-for-nothing, who gambled outside, racked up a mountain of debt, and brought shame to the Chen family!"
Chen Baisen stared at Chen Le with a condescending attitude.
Chen Le remained calm and laughed, "Well said. You can expel us from the Chen family, but you have no right to touch the homestead."
"That was left to my father by my grandfather, and I will never return it to you!"
"As for rebuilding the Chen family ancestral hall..."
"What a coincidence! I came back this time not only to attend my eldest sister's wedding, but also to rebuild the Chen family ancestral hall!"
Chen Baisen burst out laughing and pointed at Chen Le, saying, "What a joke!"
"Just you?"
"You still want to rebuild the ancestral hall?"
"If our ancestors knew about this, they would probably be so angry they'd come back to life!"
As soon as Chen Baisen finished speaking, the village party secretary stepped forward.
"Chen Le, listen to your uncle's advice, don't cause trouble!"
"Your uncle came back to rebuild the ancestral hall and led the whole village to get rich through investment!"
"This is a good thing. Don't let your actions influence your uncle's decision! Otherwise, you'll be a sinner to the whole village!"
The village party secretary began to persuade them earnestly.
However, his eyes were very unfriendly, and his words were full of threats.
It is clear.
He was on Chen Bosen's side.
"This is really interesting..."
Chen Le was both amused and annoyed, and spread his hands as he spoke.
"Village Party Secretary, you really know how to flatter me!"
"I haven't done anything yet, and I've already become the sinner of the whole village?"
"Alright, since you all believe that Uncle has the ability, I'd like to know, how much money did Uncle bring back for investment this time?"
"What projects have you prepared this time?!"
"Tell me about it, so this gambler can broaden his horizons!"
Chen Baisen said with a proud expression, "It's not much. I brought 500 million yuan back this time to invest in the village!"
"We also plan to invest 100 million yuan in rebuilding the Chen family ancestral hall!"
Originally, he didn't want to bother with a nobody like Chen Le.
But seeing so many people, including the Chen family members, young and old, all present.
The village party secretary also put himself in a difficult position.
So he simply spoke directly to convince Chen Le's family!
Five hundred and fifty is enough to buy half the village's real estate!
What are you so arrogant about, Chen Le, who's so poor?
Chen Meiling also stepped forward, sneering coldly.
