The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 467 - Chapter 467 Chapter 467 Kicked Out

Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Kicked Out Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Kicked Out After leaving the Lai family, Zhong Niangyao pouted, “You just walked in so suddenly, Elder Mrs. Lei must have started making up her own stories again!”

“Isn’t that even better?” Lu Yichen replied with a smile, “With a sense of pressure, her efficiency will be even higher!”

Hearing such a response, for a moment, Zhong Niangyao felt she couldn’t answer.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore.”

Zhong Niangyao shook her head and then smiled, “Let’s go on a date!”

Lu Yichen was very willing to do so.

Following that, the two of them went off on their sweet and honeyed date.

As for the Lai family, just as Lu Yichen had said, after Zhong Niangyao left, Old Mrs. Lai did not ponder long before she summoned all the Lai family members back, even including the daughter who had married off.

Old Mrs. Lai’s position in the Lai family was very high, so at her command, everyone set aside their work and all returned to the Lai family’s ancestral home.

The Lai family had many members, with Old Mrs. Lai herself having two sons and two daughters, plus the third generation. Even though the two married daughters came back with their husbands and didn’t bring their children, it was enough to fill the entire living room with people.

Mr. Lai sat beside Old Mrs. Lai, who had already gone through all the details with his wife over the phone before coming back.

He supported his wife’s decision. Li Jingming’s heart was too cruel; he could actually resort to hiring someone to commit murder.

He didn’t object, not only because of Zhong Niangyao’s elusive abilities and Lu Yichen’s support but also because of Li Jingming’s character.

Li Jingming could now hire someone to get rid of Zhong Niangyao, so what about during the fight over inheritance rights later on? Who could ensure that he wouldn’t eliminate any other threats to him?

He didn’t oppose the children’s struggles within the family since, in the end, there could only be one head of the house. The last one standing would be the most qualified to be the heir.

But such a struggle should definitely not reach the point of taking lives.

Even without any evidence, the old wife just believed. And he, he trusted his wife’s judgment.

The Lai family members, suddenly called back, were all feeling unsettled. They all tried to recall if they had done anything outrageous recently to warrant such a grand gesture. Especially since Mr. Lai and Old Mrs. Lai, sitting in the main seats, were both expressionless, leaving them utterly clueless about what kind of medicine was being sold in this gourd.

It should be noted that the last time everyone was gathered like this, it was during the New Year!

Many children of the third generation had not sat down but stood there instead. Although the living room was large, given the number of people, there were still some who had no seats.

Lai Jingming stood there feeling somewhat restless. From the moment he entered the living room, his eyelids began to twitch nonstop as if something was about to happen.

Moreover, for some reason, the moment he entered the living room, Mr. Lai and Old Mrs. Lai seemed to have glanced at him, intentionally or unintentionally.

Although it was just a fleeting glance, it was enough to make his unease grow sharply.

The living room was very quiet despite the crowd; no one spoke, and even the sound of breathing was subconsciously lowered.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Mr. Lai and Old Mrs. Lai, waiting for them to speak.

After surveying the room, Mr. Lai’s gaze swept over everyone present, and then he spoke in a deep voice, “Today, I called you all back so suddenly because there is a very important matter that I want to announce.”

Instantly, everyone’s breathing slowed down a beat, and all eyes fell on Mr. Lai, awaiting his next words.

They all had a premonition that it was definitely a big deal, something that would take all of them by surprise!

Mr. Lai didn’t beat around the bush and said it outright, “I announce that, starting today, Lai Jingming will be expelled from the Lai family. From now on, he’ll no longer be a Lai family member. I will also choose a day to open the ancestral hall and remove his name directly. Starting today, the eldest young master of the Lai family will be Lai Jinghao.”

Lai Jinghao was the eldest son born to the wife of Mr. Lai, Wu Heyi.

Everyone was stunned by such news.

Today, everyone had made many guesses, but no one had ever imagined it would be something like this.

People could not help but speculate wildly–what on earth had Lai Jingming done to anger both heaven and humanity! How could he have been suddenly driven out by Old Sir? There hadn’t been any sign of this before!

Every gaze in the room converged on Lai Jingming, with expressions ranging from puzzled to gleeful; all sorts of reactions could be seen.

And Lai Jingming, at this moment, was completely dumbfounded. He clearly didn’t expect Mr. Lai to make such a decision–a decision that could utterly crush him.

“Dad, why is this?”

The person who spoke was Mr. Lai, Lai Jingming’s biological father. He frowned, puzzled, but didn’t show any signs of anger. He seemed simply to want to know the reason and not to fight for anything.

On the other hand, Wu Heyi, who was next to him, was barely keeping the corners of her mouth from curving upward with joy, but the happiness in her eyes betrayed her feelings at the moment.

In fact, if anyone in the room was to be named the happiest, it would undoubtedly be her.

When Lai Jingming came through those doors years ago, she had no power to resist. Especially since it was her mother-in-law who spoke, holding a position in the household nearly equal to her father-in-law’s; with Chen Sisi owing and repaying favors, she didn’t even have the opportunity to object.

For years, Lai Jingming’s presence was like a thorn in her throat. Although her husband’s other brothers weren’t seen to be very faithful, she was the only one who had to generously accept the existence of an illegitimate child.

A while ago, her mother-in-law had suddenly summoned her and her husband, saying that the Lai family’s property would not be divided among Lai Jingming in the future, and she was delighted. That served as revenge for all the years of disdain she received.

Now, she wasn’t sure what Lai Jingming had done to offend her in-laws enough to dare to kick him out, but it was definitely a satisfaction for everyone!

She felt like all the resentment that had been building up in her chest over the years was finally vented today. And her shame would disappear without a trace after today.
