Chapter 489: Chapter 488: This Set is No Longer Useful to Us

Family Head Luo sighed in relief when he heard his eldest son’s words.

It was fortunate that his eldest son had already pledged allegiance to the higher authorities; otherwise, being a Great Leader of the International Black Alliance would have been devastating.

He asked, "How do you plan to handle the situation with the International Black Alliance?"

Yiqi replied, "The reason I pledged my allegiance was, firstly, I know I am a Huaxia person and will always be loyal to Huaxia, and secondly, to avenge my foster father."

"He saved me in the deep sea death zone and taught me a lot after taking me back."

"Unfortunately, his wife and child were killed by the Ming Family Master, and he was poisoned with a slow-acting toxin. By the time it was discovered, it was too late to cure."

"His only wish was to destroy the International Black Alliance and bring the Alliance Hierarch to justice."

He said, "I must repay his life-saving grace, and naturally, I will fulfill his last wish."

So he didn’t return home and stayed within the International Black Alliance to prepare, secretly connecting with the authorities.

Of course, his choice not to return was also because he had little attachment to this family.

After hearing his words, Family Head Luo nodded contentedly, "That’s good, and you have also made significant contributions to the authorities this time."

"This time you’ve come home, you won’t leave again, right?" Although it was a question, his tone was affirmative.

Yiqi shook his head, "I won’t stay at the Luo Family; I plan to live in the Imperial Capital."

Family Head Luo’s face turned sour immediately, "This is your home, and you are the heir to the Luo Family. Why would you run off to live in the Imperial Capital?"

Lady Luo also wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief at this moment, looking at Yiqi with an expression of extreme heartache.

"Yiqi, you’re tearing out my heart!"

"Are you still blaming us? But we honestly didn’t know Lou Yinghua was that kind of person."

"Of course, although we were ignorant of the hidden truths, we indeed owe you an apology."

Before she could finish, Yicheng interrupted, "Mom, if you know you owe my brother an apology, why say so much?"

"Are you going to faint from crying again?"

He pulled Yiqi and Luo Ning back a few steps, "If you’re going to faint, head towards dad, but please don’t knock over our porcelain."

Lady Luo indeed seemed like she might faint from crying, just as she had before, which always led her husband and eldest son to compromise.

Now, being called out by her second son in public, with full irony, infuriated her, causing her face to turn red and then pale.

She glared at Yicheng, "Impertinent child, I am your mother. Is this how you should speak?"

This troublemaker, disobedient from childhood, always upsetting her.

The smile on Yicheng’s face faded slightly, "Respect must be earned, and you need to be worthy of it!"

"I didn’t know until now that Grandma’s death was connected to you."

His gaze toward Lady Luo grew colder, "No wonder you could get along with a venomous woman like Lou Yinghua. It turns out you’re cut from the same cloth."

He and his sister were raised by Grandma, and their affection for her far exceeded that for their not-so-close mother.

He still had memories from childhood, and he did not recall Grandma ever mistreating his mother.

After Grandpa passed away, Grandma seldom interfered with the affairs of the Luo Family, focusing all her spirit on raising them.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, looking bewildered at Lady Luo, "I can swear on my heart, Grandma was not a wicked mother-in-law, and she did nothing to wrong you. Why couldn’t you tolerate her?"

Lady Luo’s eyes flickered, "You actually believe the nonsense Lou Yinghua spouts?"

"Do you even care about me, your mother any more?" Her tears fell again, "You just want to see me dead and happy about it."

Luo Ning commented from the side, "Those tears still look fake, thumbs down!"

She added another sentence, "Didn’t Lou Yinghua leave evidence before? A thorough investigation would reveal the truth."

Lady Luo turned pale and looked at Luo Ning with annoyance, "Why do you have to be involved in everything? This is a gathering of elders, is it a place for a youngster like you to speak?"

Before Luo Ning could retort, Luo Yicheng stepped in.

"Why can’t my Ningning speak? In the Luo Family you may rule supreme, but why can’t my daughter even speak the truth?"

He added with a huff, "Mom, you always cry fake tears when you’re feeling guilty. You look so ugly right now, only my dad, with his poor eyesight, would think it looks good."

Standing to the side and caught in the crossfire, Family Head Luo said, "..."

He wondered why he had fathered such a troublesome child.

Hearing his younger brother’s words, Luo Yiqi, if this were before he had died, would have found them improper since she was still their mother after all.

Yet now, he found it somewhat amusing and stifled a laugh with a light cough.

Luo Yicheng turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow, "Big brother, don’t you think mom’s crying is really fake right now?"

Lady Luo really wanted to smack her troublesome son but knew she definitely wouldn’t be able to hit him.

So she looked with a heartbroken and helpless expression through her tears at her eldest son, hoping he would say something considerate.

Luo Yiqi, his lips twitching upwards, covered them with his fist as he coughed again, "It was pretty fake in the past too."

Every time something didn’t go her way, she would resort to crying or feigning a faint; after a while and several such incidents, everybody knew it was all an act.

Before, as the eldest son and heir of the Luo Family, he had to indulge her.

He had suffered already and didn’t want his younger siblings to be manipulated too, so he did as his parents had wished, being considerate and obedient to his mother.

However, that time after he survived the ordeal, the heir of the Luo Family he once was had died.

Initially joining the International Black Alliance didn’t scare him; instead, he felt relieved.

Now of course, he wouldn’t indulge his mother anymore, otherwise, she would surely ask him to stay and continue being the Luo Family’s heir.

Having finally escaped that restraint and gained his freedom from the International Black Alliance, he would be foolish to trap himself again.

His words left everyone present stunned, clearly none had expected him to say that.

Luo Ning watched Lady Luo’s face grow even paler with anger and couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "What insight uncle!"

Luo Yicheng laughed as well, wrapping an arm around Luo Yiqi’s shoulders, "Big brother, it seems you weren’t so honest in the past either."

Luo Yiqi rolled his eyes at him, "I am not a fool."

Lady Luo hadn’t expected her two sons to speak about her like this in public.

She clutched her head as if she was going to faint, also wanting to use it as a way to escape.

Luo Yicheng immediately said, "Mom, you better not faint, that act won’t work on us anymore."

Lady Luo trembled with anger, pointing at Luo Yicheng, "You good-for-nothing. I should never have given birth to you."

Luo Yicheng shrugged nonchalantly, "Well, you already did, and regretting it now is pointless. What, are you going to put me back in?"

"You!" Lady Luo choked.

In the past, she would definitely have cried and leaned on Family Head Luo, asking him to take her side.

But now, sensing his displeasure, she feared he might settle accounts, so she endured.
