"Grandpa, let me take care of it this time..."
Seeing that his grandpa was so concerned about his well-being, Li Mubai was obviously a little surprised.
However, to him, it didn't matter much whether the Xiao family was destroyed or not. Because for him it was no different from stepping on an ant.
He wouldn't feel any thrill gaining 'resentment' from that.
After all, Xiao Qingcheng only wanted to withdraw the marriage contract but it was Leng Qianxue who herself had taken the initiative to assassinate him.
But the now Xiao family were even willing to hold onto his thigh.
So, rather than letting Xiao Qingcheng's family go bankrupt, Li Mubai was looking forward to seeing her get betrayed, desolated, resented, and despised by her own relatives...
"You will handle it yourself?"
His grandpa frowned.
Then he slowly shook his head and said. "Well, You're almost twenty years old this year and no longer a kid. It's also time for you to experience some things...
"I will allow you to handle this matter. Butler Yan would fully assist you. You can even mobilize Li family's resources at will..."
"En..."
Li Mubai helplessly smiled.
If he did mobilize his Li family's complete resources, he could reckon that Jinghai...
No, everyone in the Xia country would be stunned...
If his Grandpa permits him to mobilize his family's resources just to deal with a small family such as Xiao family, he had to say that his grandpa heavily doted on him...
"Grandpa, I also want to move out."
After he spoke about the Xiao family, Li Mubai continued.
After all, as a Heavenly Destined Villain, he would inevitably encounter many heroines.
If he met with each one of them in the Li family manor, he would be too embarrassed to meet his grandpa's eyes.
"You want to move out? Do you want to live on your own?"
Li Kunyuan's tone became anxious. He asked. "The environment in your villa here and the manor is the best for you to live in. Why do you want to suddenly move out and live on your own?"
"Ahem..."
Li Mubai coughed.
He, as a youngster had many things he had to do. If he stays in the manor, it would be bad if he accidentally disturb his grandpa's peace of mind.
"I..."
Li Mubai wanted to persuade.
When his grandpa heard it, not only did his face become ruddy, he also felt happy.
He thought that his precious grandson was now enlightened!
"Good, good!"
He repeatedly nodded his head and with a smile, he said. "It's good that you decided to move out. There is a villa deep in the Yunyin mountains. The environment there is very serene and it isn't very far from the city. If you're fine with it, you can live there!"
"Then thank you, grandpa."
Li Mubai replied with a smile.
"But, if you want to move out, you need to promise me one thing..."
His grandpa then spoke changing the subject.
"Grandpa, I'll listen to you."
Li Mubai didn't refuse either.
After all, seeing that his grandpa was heavily doting on him as his grandson, he, naturally was a little reluctant to refuse.
"You just turned twenty this year. Although you're still in college, it would be better if we decide about your marriage as earlier as possible. I will let you handle Xiao Qingcheng's matter but she is no longer qualified to marry into our family...
"So, I have already found you another marriage partner...
"But you need not worry. I will never wrong you. I and your mother have personally met with her and spoke to her...
"She is from the Ning family of Imperial Capital. She is about the same age as you and had just turned twenty this year...
"She isn't like Xiao Qingcheng, who is three years older than you. For a family such as ourselves, cherishing a woman like her would do no good. Especially when she's from a small Xiao family, you shouldn't cling on her like a golden brick..."
"Ah, Grandpa, You found me a marriage partner again?"
As he heard what his grandpa said, Li Mubai let out a bitter smile.
How could he not know that this is a plot device whose purpose was to move the plot forward?...
"Why do you look so reluctant?...
"She is not only from the Ning family but is also quite beautiful. Her appearance doesn't pale before Xiao Qingcheng. Even at a young age, she was hailed as the first beauty of the Imperial capital...
"That tiny Xiao family could never match with her status...
"I would never wrong you..."
