Spending the Villain's Money to Extend My Life

Chapter 140 – A Forced Apology (1)

“But Grandpa, she is staying over at that Young Master Huo’s place. That place is cursed!”

Li Yiru twisted her hands together. She didn’t want to go and apologize.

Not to mention that she was being forced to go with her dad, she could only imagine how happy Gu Shishi would be when she saw that.

Gu Shishi was nothing but a peasant girl! Why did she need to go and apologize to her?!

Just because she was slightly better looking and somewhat flirty and some guy was interested in her and would stand up for her? Was that the reason?

When Old Mr. Li heard that, his body sunk visibly.

“Oh, right. I didn’t make it to the engagement banquet last time. I’m not getting younger. My memory is starting to go.”

A slight smile started to appear on Li Yiru. As far as she was aware, most of the authoritative elders in the city’s prestigious families did not attend the engagement banquet that day.

They merely sent some insignificant members of the young generations or distant families to attend with fancy gifts.

Huo Sishen was a cursed man; everybody wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.

That also extended to Gu Shishi. Now that her grandpa knew about this, he certainly would not force her to go anymore!

“If I remember correctly, the Huo’s kid had been pretty quiet in recent years. I don’t recall hearing any rumors about him at all?”

Old Mr. Li looked over at his two sons. Quickly, without even a frown, he pointed at his younger son.

“Chengzheng, bring two presents with you tomorrow. You go tomorrow as the older generation and see how the Huo’s kid is doing. Back in the days, I had been pretty close with Old Man Huo too.”

“Grandpa!”Li Yiru cried out in surprise. “Two of his fiancees had been cursed to death in the last few years! I’m not going and Dad can’t go either! What if we got cursed if we go there?”

Old Mr. Li started to talk in a profound way, “If that Gu Shishi is fine, how’d you be cursed? The Li’s... will be done for if you don’t go.”

Li Yiru was stunned.

Li Chengzheng gave her a stare. “Oh, now you are afraid? Then why did you do what you’ve done to her and got us into this kind of trouble? And you worried about curses now?”

Li Yiru was paled as she was dragged upstairs by her mother.

“Stop talking, Xiao Ru. Go to bed. Get some rest so you can go to apologize properly tomorrow.”

Only after they had left did Li Chengzheng looked over at his older brother and smiled bitterly.

“I didn’t do a good job raising her.” Li ChengZheng sighed.

***

The next morning, when Li Chengzheng and his daughter went to visit with the gifts, they were blocked outside of the metal gate.

Nevermind about entering the house, they weren’t even able to enter the front garden!

Li Yiru hadn’t expected that they wouldn’t even let them inside!

The expressionless butler walked out and had no intention of letting them inside.

“Pardon us. We don’t allow visitors inside.”

Li Yiru was about to have a breakdown. “We would like to pay Young Master Huo a visit. And we also have some gifts with us for Miss Gu.”

Butler Lin was unmoved. “Young Master is not home.”

Li Yiru was about to lose control of her expression. “Then Miss Gu...”

“Miss Gu is not home either.” Butler Lin was still unmoved. “Thank you for coming.”

“Well, can’t we go inside even if they are not home?” Li Yiru’s tone was very unpleasant. She had never been treated this way her entire life.

When she went over to her friends, all of the butlers had always been nice to her.

Li Chengzhen stopped his ill-tempered daughter. “Xiao Ru, you stop with that. Can we please leave a message then, Butler Lin? Can you please let them know that the Li’s had been here and whether it is a good time to visit tonight?”

Butler Lin nodded and said, “Alright.”

Li Yiru gritted her teeth.
