As soon as the old man finished speaking, the entire living room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Qin Yulian stood frozen in place, completely unable to recover from the sudden turn of events before her eyes.
It wasn't until Jiang Youli's voice rang out that she snapped back to reality—this man surnamed Luo actually knew that wretched girl Jiang Youli!
"Grandpa Luo, long time no see."
Although Jiang Youli could interact with venomous insects and snakes when she was young, she couldn't fully control them. It could be said that there were hidden dangers to both herself and others. It was Grandpa Luo who taught her the correct methods to control those venomous creatures.
"I didn't expect us to meet in this way," Old Man Luo sighed with emotion. A couple of days ago, an old friend called him, saying that someone named Qin Yulian suspected her father-in-law had been poisoned with Gu, causing him to lose his mind. Originally, he thought it was just an ordinary commission and agreed to help out of respect for his old friend.
He didn't expect that after meeting the client, he would learn from this Qin Yulian that the person she wanted to frame was his apprentice, Girl Li.
Old Man Luo didn't make a fuss. Instead, he contacted Girl Li, learned about her current situation, and decided to play along and come to the Jiang family to help Girl Li deal with her biological parents' family who wanted to harm her!
Jiang Youli revealed a sweet smile and said softly, "Yes, thank you, Grandpa Luo, for coming all the way to Jing City just for this."
Old Man Luo waved his hand, looking at Jiang Youli with a face full of kindness, and replied with a chuckle, "Oh, Girl Li, why are you being so polite with me! We haven't seen each other for so long, and I've always been thinking about you. So, as soon as I heard you needed some help here, I couldn't wait to rush over!"
Hearing this, a warm current surged in Jiang Youli's heart. "Later, when we're done with this, I'll definitely keep you company and have a good chat, Grandpa Luo. But right now, I have to trouble you to explain to my grandpa and everyone present what exactly is going on."
Old Man Luo gave a light snort, his expression changing slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Hmph, speaking of this matter, it really is infuriating! This Second Madam of the Jiang family found me through someone and asked me to examine her father-in-law, Old Master Jiang, to see if he had been poisoned with Gu. Being entrusted with a task and doing one's best is perfectly fine. But who would have thought that she actually specifically instructed me that even if it turned out Old Master Jiang hadn't been poisoned with Gu at all, I still had to..."
Seeing that her plan was about to be exposed, Qin Yulian quickly interrupted loudly, "Someone, hurry up and tie this old man up!"
Jiang Youli didn't give the bodyguards a chance this time. Silver needles flew from her hands, and the bodyguards who tried to step forward felt their legs go soft, directly falling to the ground, twitching and foaming at the mouth.
Qin Yulian became vigilant. This trick again!
"Attack together!"
She refused to believe that no matter how powerful Jiang Youli was, she could deal with forty bodyguards alone!
Unexpectedly, as soon as Qin Yulian's words fell, many venomous insects and snakes suddenly rushed in from outside the door, swarming toward the forty bodyguards.
"Ah... Where did these venomous insects and snakes come from!"
The bodyguards panicked and tried to shake off the venomous creatures, but more and more kept crawling onto them.
Qin Yulian watched with her heart pounding in fear, standing in place completely speechless.
Qi Huan raised her eyebrows. "Little Li'er, why do these venomous insects and snakes look a bit familiar to me?"
Jiang Youli smiled. "Yeah, these are the ones Qi Yue released at our engagement banquet. I just made good use of them."
Pausing for a moment, she said with some surprise, "But Huanhuan, I'm actually surprised you could recognize that they are the same batch from yesterday. Your observation and memory skills are too strong."
"It's alright, just an occupational hazard." Qi Huan smiled, noncommittal.
Old Man Luo looked at the bodyguards being tortured by the venomous creatures, his eyes filled with approval. "Girl Li, your ability to control venomous insects and snakes is getting more and more stable."
Jiang Youli said, "After all, I've always been diligently studying and improving the methods you taught me back then, Grandpa Luo."
Old Man Luo was very gratified. Girl Li had truly surpassed her master.
Before long, the forty bodyguards could no longer endure the torture of the venomous creatures, and they all scrambled to flee out of the living room.
Realizing that her plan had failed, Qin Yulian felt an unprecedented panic this time. She collapsed weakly onto the sofa behind her without saying a word, her mind filled with a myriad of complex thoughts.
It was over!
This time, just as Jiang Youli had said, their family was going to be finished!
Jiang Youli curled her fingers and blew a whistle. The venomous insects and snakes covering the bodyguards immediately flew or slithered away, returning to the living room to surround Jiang Yangxu and his wife, as well as Jiang Xing and Jiang Yonghe.
Afterward, she went to untie her beautiful new mother and handsome new father.
Once untied, the couple then went to untie Old Mr. Zhang, the old madam, and the five brothers.
Old Master Jiang said coldly, "Second son, you and your wife are really something! To actually stage a mutiny right in front of my face!"
Jiang Yangxu leaned back on the sofa in resignation, allowing the old master to scold him, merely muttering to himself, "...We never should have brought that evil spawn Jiang Youli back in the first place..."
They had failed.
Their family was truly going to be left with nothing because of Jiang Youli.
Looking at the absent-minded Jiang Yangxu and his wife, Old Madam Long frowned in deep disappointment.
Second Son Jiang's family was truly useless!
They didn't even investigate properly when finding someone to help, and actually found someone Jiang Youli knew!
Jiang Youli looked at Old Master Jiang. "Grandpa, how do you plan to deal with them now?"
Old Master Jiang looked completely heartbroken. "Youli, I've already said it. Starting today, the Jiang family will be managed by you. I'm tired. You will have full authority to handle everything that follows. I'm going to find a lawyer to draft an agreement and officially hand over the Jiang family's estate to you." Speaking up to here, he looked at his eldest son Jiang Yehan and his wife Zhang Susu. "I assume you two have no objections either."
Jiang Yehan shook his head without hesitation. "Dad, Susu and I have absolutely no objections."
Jiang Youli asked again, "Grandpa, does the Jiang family estate you mentioned include this West District villa becoming mine as well? Does that mean I can kick Jiang Yangxu's family out of the Jiang family?"
Hearing this, Qin Yulian suddenly jumped up like a lit firecracker, saying unwillingly, "You wretched girl, how can you be so vicious? To actually take away the West District villa we live in as well! Are you really going to force us into a dead end!"
Faced with Qin Yulian's accusations, Jiang Youli didn't care at all. Instead, she let out a light chuckle and replied casually, "Heh, of course. Since the entire Jiang family now belongs to me, how could I tolerate you continuing to stay here, being an eyesore and making me unhappy all day long?"
Her words made Qin Yulian turn pale with anger, her chest heaving violently. A breath of stifled anger was stuck in her throat, rendering her speechless for a long time.
Ignoring the resentful and hateful glare from his second son, Jiang Yangxu, Old Master Jiang sighed helplessly. "Yes, everything in the Jiang family is yours. I will just keep a little money for my coffin, and that will be enough."
Just then, Jiang Li, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't hold back anymore. "Dad, what about me?"
