Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 326 I'm just messing with you guys

Gan Taizu and the other man exchanged a glance, seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

They thought Li Jiayuan would come with a lot of emotions, but he didn't seem that difficult to get along with.

But now that people have arrived, it's not the time to talk about these things; discussing serious matters is the most important thing.

"Mr. Li, please have a seat."

Although the person in front of them was a young man, the Yin Hong couple could feel a strong aura of authority emanating from him.

Turning the tables and putting pressure on them, Gan Taizu sighed inwardly at Li Jiayuan's youth. At such a young age, he had started from scratch and was already the president of a group with a market value of tens or hundreds of billions.

He's worked his way up for so many years to achieve the scale of "A Perfect Match".

It seems that when Li Jiayuan was about the same age, he was still selling cakes with Aunt He in the bakery.

Li Jiayuan sat quietly, glancing around at his surroundings, inwardly grumbling.

When I was a kid, I watched TV and thought the Gan family's house was very luxurious and big. Now that I look at it, it's just so-so, not even as nice as my own house.

Moreover, this decorating style always gave him a nouveau riche vibe.

He plopped down, maintaining basic politeness, like an ordinary guest passing through.

"Why is this house so deserted? Where is everyone else?"

"Um, about the others..."

"They're all in the room."

Gan Taizu and Yin Hong were completely dumbfounded. They couldn't understand Li Jiayuan's way of thinking or his thought process. However, they didn't dare to go against Li Jiayuan, so they could only answer in the same way.

"Call everyone down here. I like things to be lively."

Yin Hong looked at Gan Taizu for his consent, and only after receiving his approval did she go upstairs to pretend to call for someone, even though they could hear her from upstairs.

Soon, the living room was filled with people: Yin Hong's daughter, Yu Suqiu; He Ma's son, Fanshuyuan; and her eldest son, Aka.

Uncle Gong and his mother, and lastly his great-grandmother, Li Jiayuan nodded with satisfaction.

I'm coming clean. I'm not just here to punish scumbags today; I'm here to watch the show, to see a scene that feels like something out of a TV drama I watched as a kid.

Help! Does anyone understand this feeling?

"Alright, I don't have much time. I have to go home soon, so please tell me what you want to talk about quickly."

Mr. and Mrs. Gan Taizu took a deep breath and asked cautiously:
"Mr. Li, it's like this, recently our Haoyueyuan family and your company seem to have had some misunderstanding. I invited you here today to proactively clear up this misunderstanding, but I don't know where we've offended you."

Li Jiayuan took a sip of tea and said calmly:
"No, you haven't offended me. We're not in the same industry, and our Jiayuan Group has no business dealings with you, so how could we have the opportunity to offend you?"

Everyone understood the subtext of Li Jiayuan's words: "Does your Hao Yue Yuan even deserve to be a match? I don't take you seriously at all."

Gan Taizu and the others were even more embarrassed and puzzled. If they didn't know anything about it, why was Li Jiayuan deliberately targeting them?

“Mr. Li, I know that our family’s Haoyueyuan is no match for your Jiayuan Group. I won’t beat around the bush with you. You have to have a reason for targeting us so that we can die knowing why.”

"Reasons? Does 'fun' count as a reason? I find it really fun to mess with you guys, so I'll just play around with you. Do you think I can't handle a joke?"

One sentence left everyone speechless, and all the persuasive and emotional appeals that Gan Taizu and his wife had prepared vanished into thin air.

Shocked and furious, it's ridiculous that they were made to suffer so much just because Li Jiayuan said it was funny!
What kind of person could say such things? What kind of person could do such things? Just because it's fun, they'd manipulate them until they're completely out of control, even to the point of financial ruin.

At this moment, even with his good temper, Gan Taizu would find it difficult to control his emotions. "Li Jiayuan, don't you think your behavior is going too far? Our Haoyueyuan family hasn't offended you, has it? Why are you treating us like this?"

Seeing Gan Taizu get angry, Li Jiayuan was secretly amused. Hey, look at this guy, he clearly knows everything, but he just can't put himself in others' shoes.

Why didn't he think this way when he was targeting Ho Ma's family? With just one sentence from Aunt Sa, they would have been bankrupted compared to Ho Ma's family.

It's also because I'm annoyed that they promised to do something but then went back on their word; isn't that just playing with people?

He just treated me the same way back, and I couldn't stand it.

Li Jiayuan looked at Fang Ting behind him.

"Look how hypocritical and hypocritical this family is."

Fang Ting covered her mouth, wanting to laugh but feeling that it wasn't appropriate to laugh like that.

"Grandpa, please sit down. Don't be so angry. You're already so old. It's not good to make yourself angry to death."

Seeing Li Jiayuan's smug attempt to comfort the Gan family, Fang Ting couldn't help but laugh this time.

Yin Hongyan, who had been silent all along, raised an eyebrow and realized something was wrong.

Li Jiayuan calls his grandfather "Grandpa," a term usually reserved for family members. How did he know that?
Suddenly, her crimson eyes widened in shock. She stood up in disbelief, pointed at Li Jiayuan, and asked in terror:

"What's your relationship with Zhong Xiaohe?!"

At first, she really didn't think about it in this way, but when Li Jiayuan called her "Grandpa," she thought of Aunt Sa's lawsuit last time. Wasn't their lawyer from Jiayuan Group at that time?

A quick thought made it all make sense.

As soon as Yin Hong finished speaking, everyone stood up in shock, and Gan Taizu was so trembling that he couldn't say a word.

"you"

"Oh, so you were sent by that woman. She's the one who made you do this, isn't she?"

When the old lady of the Gan family heard He Ma's name, she became agitated and breathless with anger, cursing incessantly.

Seeing this, Li Jiayuan stopped pretending; he had already been discovered.

Then let's lay our cards on the table, buddy, I'm about to unleash my fury.

He changed his posture, leaning back against the sofa, placing his hands on his knees, calmly facing the Gan family, his voice still gentle.

"It turns out the Gan family has quite a few smart people. I thought you wouldn't think of it this way."

"Go ahead and do it. Why are you staring at me like that? You invited me here to talk. If we're not going to talk, then I'm leaving."

Hearing that Li Jiayuan was leaving, Gan Taizu and Yin Hong suddenly realized that this was not He Ma, whom they could manipulate at will. Their lives were now in someone else's hands.

Everyone sat down.

"How could you, that woman, be so cruel? Even after the divorce, you still caused our family to be destroyed! You are bad people, you deserve to go to hell!"

Li Jiayuan glanced at the old woman and felt no liking for her at all; this old hag was utterly disgusting.

“Yu Suqiu, take your grandmother away. I don’t want to listen to her nonsense anymore.”

Yu Suqiu was taken aback, clearly not expecting to be called out suddenly. She got up and helped her grandmother leave, not wanting to interrupt the conversation.
