Return to the City: The Strongest King-Chapter 1918 - 1819: When the Immortal Cactus Flowers (Part 3)
"You can only blame yourself. Every day you brag about your son driving a nice car, but when others do, it's just a friend's car? When Song Xiaodong cut the ribbon for you, you questioned his identity? Really, you offended him, so go find him yourself, don't stay at our house!" Li Sijie's mother was also angry.
"I'm staying right here, it's your son-in-law who ruined our Feng Rao company. I will stay here until you compensate my son's company, compensate my son's losses!" Eldest Uncle's Wife was lying on Li Jianguo's sofa, crying and slapping the armrest loudly.
"Are you being reasonable at all? You should go find Song Xiaodong. You dare not provoke him, so you come raise a ruckus at my house!" Li Sijie's mother's tone became confrontational.
"You think I'm afraid of him? He's just a big boss, why did he revoke my family's Feng Rao company permit... "
Eldest Uncle's Wife really wasn't in the right, and now with Song Xiaodong backing them up, Li Jianguo and his wife were standing up to Eldest Uncle's Wife, debating with her. Unable to win the argument, she just lay on the sofa crying, seeming all but ready to pass out.
Li Jianguo's mother was out of options and called Li Sijie.
"Hello? Sijie?"
"Yes, Mom, what's up?"
"Your Eldest Uncle's Wife is here, you need to talk to Xiaodong, ask him to return Feng Rao's permit, otherwise Eldest Uncle's Wife won't leave our house." Li Sijie's mother looked at Eldest Uncle's Wife who was lying on the sofa, yelling dry cries without actual tears, with disdain.
"Eldest Uncle's Wife came to our place again!" Li Sijie's anger flared up immediately upon hearing this.
Just yesterday she had missed watching the child, who bumped their head on the coffee table, because she was taking a call from Eldest Uncle's Wife.
Eldest Uncle's Wife suddenly stood up to grab the phone: "Give me the phone, I want to speak to Sijie."
Li Sijie's mother hesitated for a moment, then handed the phone to Eldest Uncle's Wife.
"Li Sijie, I'm telling you, you better tell Song Xiaodong to return Feng Rao's permit, or I'm telling you, I won't let this go, I won't let this go!" Eldest Uncle's Wife suddenly went berserk, yelling into the phone, making Li Sijie's ears almost deaf.
Li Sijie hung up the phone directly.
"Enough! Get out of my house! Where do you think you can make such a scene? Is this the place for your shouting?" Li Jianguo slammed the table and stood up, yelling at Eldest Uncle's Wife.
"You need to compensate our Feng Rao company! You can't compensate it! With a mother like you, it's no wonder Li Fengrao has such bad luck! You deserve it, you snob. You look down on everyone, don't you? Serves you right, now you're getting your comeuppance, did you think only your Feng Rao had the ability, huh? You've been arrogant, and now Song Xiaodong is teaching you a lesson!"
After hearing Director Li's words, Li Fengrao decided to call Li Sijie immediately. He walked out of Director Li's office, out of the Financial Management Bureau's gates, and stood in the autumn wind to call Li Sijie.
Li Sijie had just hung up on her mom, heard the barrage of threats from Eldest Uncle's Wife, and saw Li Fengrao calling, becoming even angrier.
Li Sijie didn't want to answer, but knowing that if she didn't, Li Fengrao would keep calling.
Indeed, this family had one thing in common: persistence.
Eventually, Li Sijie answered.
"Sijie, you finally answered the call." Li Fengrao's attitude was completely different from his mother's.
But having just listened to his mom's threats, Li Sijie was in a bad mood.
"What do you want?" Li Sijie's tone was harsh.
"Well... Sis, could you, help persuade my brother-in-law... Mr. Song, ask him not to be angry anymore and to return my operating permit? You know, the company's opening ceremony is already done but we can't operate, doesn't that make us a joke? Plus, the rent is pretty expensive daily, you know, opening a company for me isn't easy." Li Fengrao pleaded with lowly humility.
"Even if he's not angry, I am!" Li Sijie vented all her frustration at her son stemming from her mom's issues.
"Hey Sis, please don't be like that, Feng Shuo and his wife speak harshly, I know, but I never said anything about you!" Li Fengrao was unaware his own mom was staying at Li Sijie's house.
"Go ask your mom!" Screamed Li Sijie, then hung up the call.
"Sigh..."
Li Fengrao sighed deeply, sensing a big disruption was underway by his own mom.
So he called his mom.
"Mom, where are you?" Li Fengrao asked.
"Son, don't be angry, you stay home and rest, I'm at your Uncle's place, I'm helping you get your permit back! Don't worry." Eldest Uncle's Wife's voice was a bit hoarse from the other end of the line.
She had been crying loudly all morning, how could it not be hoarse?
"Are you at Uncle's house?"
"Yeah, their son-in-law made my son's business license disappear, who do you think I should ask for it then?" Eldest Uncle's Wife glared at Li Jianguo and Li Sijie's mother while making the call.
"Wait up, I'm coming right now."
"Son, no need to come, I got this handled."
Li Fengrao hung up and headed straight to Uncle's house.
Uncle's house door was open, Li Jianguo was gesturing for Eldest Uncle's Wife to leave, their faces looked visibly upset.
"Mom, what are you doing!" Li Fengrao rushed in to help Eldest Uncle's Wife up.
"Son, why have you come, you should be resting at home, I can handle getting the permit back for you." Eldest Uncle's Wife lay on the sofa unmoved.
"Stop this nonsense, right now it's just my brother-in-law who's angry, if you keep this up, Sijie will be angry too, then she'll say unpleasant things near him, and then I'll be truly doomed!"
