Xiao Li gasped slightly.
Xiao Li felt that whatever he did, it went wrong.
"I didn't expect that in just the second round, all the contestants from our Magical Creature School, the school's elites, except for Sadako, have been wiped out."
He couldn't help but sigh, "Where is Sadako?"
The others moved aside. Sadako was sitting at the tea table in the ward, drinking tea.
Xiao Li chatted with these classmates for a while.
At this moment, he suddenly gave a wry smile:
"I'm finished this time!"
"What do you mean finished? Didn't you just lose a match?"
The others were confused.
"No, you all know that in order to duel Ye Feng, I used a lot of family money to modify the rules. Not only did I not win this time, but I actually lost directly. You know the situation of my family, my younger brothers have always been eyeing my position. This time, my position as the family heir is probably in jeopardy!!!"
Hearing this.
The purple-haired young man and the others exchanged glances, then he confidently patted Xiao Li's shoulder.
His warm voice said, "Brother Xiao Li, you know us!"
"We've been navigating the world with 'loyalty and brotherhood' for so many years as friends and classmates."
"Let alone being the heir of the Li family, even if you weren't, just a normal person, you'd still be our great brother!!"
"You guys..."
His eyes turned red.
"Good! Good brothers!!"
Xiao Li hugged the purple-haired young man and the others. They embraced each other, a scene filled with emotion!!
And at this very moment, Xiao Li's phone suddenly rang.
Xiao Li's phone was quite advanced.
It had a large screen, but unfortunately, it was still a button phone.
This was the most popular type at the moment.
He took out his phone.
There was a text message.
The sender was his father.
He wondered why his father, at this late hour, wasn't usually playing cards with beautiful women in bed?
How could he have time to send him a message?
"Brother Xiao Li, what are you looking at?"
The purple-haired young man and the others gathered around.
"I don't know, my dad sent me a message."
He opened his phone.
His father had sent him a video message.
He pressed the buttons and opened the video.
The video seemed to be in a luxurious room in a large hotel.
His father was standing in the center, his hair disheveled, and his face and neck were covered in lipstick marks from women.
Flirtatious sounds of women could be heard from the video from time to time.
Only then did he hear his father standing there say:
"Xiao Li, look at what you did today. You used family resources and ended up achieving a great result of being defeated in the second round. Do you have any shame?"
Xiao Li's father was very direct.
Hearing this, Xiao Li's face turned very ugly.
Then, his father continued:
"According to the comprehensive assessment within the family, you are no longer suitable to continue as the family heir. Your position will be inherited by your second brother."
"And now that you are no longer the heir, you will no longer enjoy the generous benefits of an heir. However, since you are my son, don't worry. You will enjoy the normal treatment of a descendant of the Li family, just like your other brothers and sisters."
"Oh dear, who are you talking to?"
At this moment, a woman as beautiful as a celestial being suddenly appeared in the video, hugged Xiao Li's father, and started kissing him intensely.
"My son."
Xiao Li's father explained.
"Son?"
The beautiful woman's eyes sparkled with a smile, "Then shall I have a son for you too?"
Xiao Li's father's face lit up with joy: "Okay! If you really give me a son, I'll give you anything you want. Come on, my love."
"Oh, I almost forgot."
Xiao Li's father remembered he was recording the video, so he ended the recording and sent it to Xiao Li.
Upon seeing the video.
Xiao Li was like a bereaved parent, completely dejected and dispirited.
He leaned against the bed, staring blankly.
He could only hear him murmuring to himself, "It's over, it's truly over this time."
And the purple-haired young man and the others around him, after watching the video with Xiao Li, exchanged glances.
Then.
The purple-haired young man smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Li, I suddenly remembered my mom is calling me home for dinner, so I'll be leaving now."
Without waiting for Xiao Li to say anything, the purple-haired young man hurried away.
"Brother Xiao Li, my dad is calling me home for dinner, so I'll leave too."
"Xiao Li, my girlfriend is asking me out, so I'm leaving too."
"Xiao Li, what a coincidence, my family just called me with urgent matters, saying I need to go back for a blind date."
Within five minutes of the video ending, the group of people who were just calling him "brother" and acting close, all ran away.
And you see, from "Brother Xiao Li" at the beginning, it directly became "Xiao Li" later.
Now, the ward was empty.
"They're all a bunch of! Fair-weather friends! Ungrateful bastards who forget loyalty for profit!!!"
Xiao Li was so angry he couldn't speak. Just moments ago, they were hugging each other, calling him "good brother," talking about navigating the world with "loyalty and brotherhood." The moment trouble arose, their faces changed faster than flipping a book!
But at this moment, he looked up and found that one person hadn't left.
It was Sadako.
"Why aren't you leaving?"
Xiao Li looked at Sadako powerlessly.
Sadako was still sitting on the tea table, drinking tea.
Sadako smiled, "Congratulations, Young Master Li, you're about to experience the life of your brothers and sisters."
Xiao Li: "..."
Sadako: "Moreover, you should be grateful for this experience. If it weren't for this experience, how would you have realized that everyone around you is unreliable and runs away at the first sign of trouble?"
Xiao Li couldn't even cry.
In fact, he should have realized it long ago.
After all, in real life, true friends are few. In a wealthy family like his, even blood brothers could turn against each other for profit, let alone his classmates who were also from wealthy families.
Seeing that Sadako still hadn't left, Xiao Li asked:
"Aren't you leaving now because you want to mock me?"
"Mock away! Laugh all you want!!"
Xiao Li put on a fearless expression.
Sadako chuckled.
"You've misunderstood. I'm different from those people. I genuinely consider you a classmate and friend."
Xiao Li didn't doubt her words.
Because he was no longer the family heir.
He would only enjoy the treatment of an ordinary family descendant.
And this treatment was merely having enough to eat and wear, and being able to manage some ordinary family businesses.
For an ordinary person, this would be cause for great joy, but for someone like them, it was more painful than death.
Xiao Li looked at Sadako, this beautiful long-haired woman.
Sadako was also looking at him.
Xiao Li had been tempted by many beautiful women in the past, but he knew they were all after his status as the Li family heir.
But today.
Xiao Li felt as nervous as a virgin.
He rubbed his hands, his lips trembling.
"Sa, Sadako..."
Sadako: "Yes?"
"Th, that..."
Xiao Li's face turned red: "Do you... do you like me?"
"Like you?!"
Hearing this, Sadako was stunned.
Then she covered her stomach and burst into laughter.
Her long black hair cascaded down, obscuring her face.
"How could you think I would like you?"
She asked curiously.
