I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family-Chapter 632 - 641 In the End, He Bore It All Alone

Among them, Ouyang’s eldest uncle was the first to disbelieve, immediately stepping forward.

"How can this be possible? This store is clearly owned by the Ou Family."

It should be said that it belonged to the Moh Family. At the time, Moh Li was merely a nine-year-old child. Because of them, they were able to keep these stores. Out of gratitude, he gave the stores to them; Isn’t that normal?

Could Moh Li understand the ways of the world?

Could he understand how to run a business?

Old Han didn’t speak; instead, he looked toward Moh Li.

Moh Li was also somewhat his disciple. He had done so much already; if Moh Li still didn’t know what to do next—

Then why should he help him, that unlucky child?

At this moment, Moh Li was dressed in a black suit, looking like he had transformed into someone completely different from the person who once followed behind Ouyang.

Or maybe he never changed at all; it’s just that they never really saw him for who he was.

Only because, in their eyes, Moh Li was nothing but a down-and-out relative who needed to rely on the Ou Family to survive.

So why should they care?

But now, they had no choice but to look at this youth who had grown as tall as they were.

His calm eyes made it impossible to discern the emotions beneath, his lips carrying a smile that was just right—warm yet detached.

He looked as composed as a young master from a noble family.

"Grandpa, uncle, perhaps my master misunderstood—don’t take it personally.

I was young at the time, and my master was wandering. So grandpa helped me manage the shops because of my youth, which I am aware of."

As for whether he agreed, that was another matter entirely.

"The past years’ profits, half of them, could serve as the Ou Family’s fee for taking care of me. How does that sound?"

So much profit from so many pharmacies, serving as a caring fee.

How much had Moh Li ’eaten’?

In reality, regarding memories of Moh Li, the Ou Family might not have any. But some of those seated here actually did.

Especially the younger generation, who didn’t know that Moh Li depended on others for survival, and that too, without money or power?

As Ouyang’s sidekick, he could barely get his face known in this circle.

And now they had discovered it wasn’t like that at all.

Moh Li, it turned out, was the source of income for the Ou Family.

Does the Ou Family have pharmacies?

Naturally, they do. But if you take away the most profitable ones, there isn’t much left.

In their eyes, if Ouyang said Moh Li was pitiful, then Moh Li was just a sidekick. If not for him, Moh Li would have lived worse than a dog.

Moh Li was just a poor thing, with no parents and no one to rely on, with nothing at home.

If it weren’t for their Ou Family, he wouldn’t have grown up. He wasn’t treated as a brother, but more like someone tagging along.

Turns out, the guy was a big shot.

Who knows if Ouyang would collapse upon finding out? They were actually quite curious to know.

However, the drama at this moment was also very exciting.

Moh Li’s statement was quite skillfully made; he implied that for all these years he was with the Ou Family, he just treated those profits as their payment for living expenses.

Who doesn’t know that aside from those profitable pharmacies, the Ou Family was just a small workshop?

On the surface, they seemed to control those shops, but in reality, they did not. They were just allowed to take the income; they couldn’t interfere with the operations.

They were merely waiting for the true owner’s return.

"Moh Li, what on earth are you talking about?"

The first to regain his composure was naturally the Old Master of the Ou Family, who, though old yet unyielding, bore the mark of the schemer.

Although he too was angry, infuriated even, he also realized at the first moment how to respond.

"You are my grandson, and it’s only right for you to live in the Ou Family. Back then, you were too young to understand how to manage things, so naturally I had to lend a hand.

Rest assured that within three days, we will complete the handover. Taking care of you is my duty; do not mention living expenses, that would be an insult to me."

Could the Ou Family not afford to raise a child?

What made them seethe was the belief that the prize was securely in their grasp, yet now they had to cough it all up; how could this not incite rage?

It was more than just anger; it was heartache, physical pain.

That was money, their shops, which should all have belonged to the Ou Family.

Having held it close for so many years, to now be told it wasn’t theirs to keep and that they had to surrender it.

The meat that had entered the mouth... to spit it out...

Pah...

"I understand Grandfather’s sentiments, but it’s still right to provide for these things. I’ve got costs for clothing, food, housing, and education that need to be covered.

Thankfully, these shops should be enough to support me, but there’s one thing I must reclaim: the ’Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens’ jewelry set, my mother’s legacy.

It’s the Moh Family heirloom. I was too young back then, and grateful when Grandmother offered to keep it safe for me, but now... I wonder if it’s possible for me to take care of it myself?"

That jewelry set was the Moh Family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation.

It was a stunning set known as ’Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens,’ complete with all its pieces.

Not long ago, he had even seen one of the phoenix hairpins in his eldest aunt’s coiffure.

"Oh, rest assured, we will definitely return that to you. Moh Li, your mentor is Miracle Doctor Han; why didn’t you let us know sooner so we could have invited him earlier?"

As the Old Master of the Ou Family’s gaze shifted towards Old Han, there was a mixture of confusion and bewilderment.

His words carried an underlying message.

Meaning, you accepted a mentor without telling us—was this premeditated?

The sparks flying between them were truly a thrill for everyone to watch.

This affair was rich fodder for gossip for a long time.

"That’s not the case. I just got back and went to the pharmacy only to find out that the ownership had changed. That’s when I investigated and found Moh Li.

Considering he’s my fellow apprentice’s grandson, taking him as a disciple shouldn’t pose any problem, right?"

Old Han had already found a seat and started cracking sunflower seeds, ready to be just another onlooker.

But in the end, he alone bore the brunt of it all.

It was then that Ouyang’s father, Ou Fang, spoke up. If his son could become a disciple of Miracle Doctor Han, wouldn’t that pave a bright future for him?

As the second son, he was the least favored, always sidelined while his older and younger siblings were doted upon.

Yet he had a fine son indeed, now the undisputed grandson of the Ou Family, at least outwardly so.

Naturally, he felt compelled to speak up at this moment.

"So it’s like this. Miracle Doctor Han, my Ouyang and Moh Li are close as brothers. Would you consider taking him as your disciple too?"

Old Han glanced at the man who had always shrunk back and now was stepping forward boldly.

"What are you talking about, second brother? My Lingling gets along well with Moh Li too. Perhaps Miracle Doctor Han could take my daughter as well?"

Ou Jie, as the youngest of the Ou Family, also made his case, determined to fight for a chance for his daughter.

What if Miracle Doctor Han agreed?

"Heh"

Old Han had intended to enjoy the show, not expecting the fire to be directed at him.

"Did I ever say I was taking disciples? Have any of you really understood the situation?"ƒгeewёbnovel.com
