Chapter 1508 The Sinner of the Xu Family


    Xu Wen-Qing''s angry voice echoed in the room.


    This time, even Xu Lei began to look rather upset.


    "Granduncle Wen-Qing, | think you''ve misunderstood me. Regardless of what sort of achievements I''ve made, the Xu family is


    still my family. You and my uncles are all my elders. All these years, I''ve never been rude to any of the elders in the family. How


    could you say this about me now?" Xu Lei felt aggrieved inside.


    For the past few years, she had been working very hard and looking out for the family.


    Under her leadership, the Xu family had risen to a high position in society.


    Both her line of the family and extended lines of the family saw their year-end bonuses double from the year before.


    Xu Lei didn''t expect her uncles to praise her or to acknowledge her for anything. She just didn''t want them to make any


    trouble for her.


    She never thought that a few provoking words from Xu Mei-Feng was enough to make the eldest person in the family, Xu Wen-


    Qing, say such things about her.


    Even though Xu Lei was a stronghearted woman, she still felt hurt when used this way by her own family.


    "So you do remember that you''re a younger member of the family after all. In that case, stand here and listen to the final decision


    the n has made about you,” said Xu Wen-Qing in a stern voice.


    "The final decision the n has made about me?" Xu Lei was a little puzzled by these words and started to frown.


    But Xu Wen-Qing obviously didn''t intend to exin anything to Xu Lei. After he said this to her, he took a document from the


    table and passed it to Xu Mei-Feng. "Mei-Feng, your father isn''t around, so you can announce the final decision." "Sure,


    Grandpa Wen-Qing," said Xu Mei-Feng happily as she took the document from the old man. Then she cast a gleeful nce at


    Xu Lei.


    That nce was the one a victorious general gave to the defeated soldiers at his feet.


    But Xu Mei-Feng just threw her a nce and didn''t say anything to her.


    After that, she walked over to the highest point of the hall and faced everyone. Her bright and loud voice began the


    announcement, "Xu Lei, the sinner of the Xu family, was in cahoots with a despicable man who is not from the family. She has


    used underhanded means to force her uncles to give up positions of power, discriminated against her own family, eliminated


    anyone against her, oppressed her family and arranged for arge number of people outside the family to take up positions in


    the family business. This has caused our century old business, our billion dor empire, to end up in the hands of someone who


    is not a Xu. These actions by Xu Lei are most certainly rebellious, unfilial, and goes against the


    wishes of the Xu family ancestors."


    “After a discussion among key family members, the Xu family has decided unanimously to strip Xu Lei of all her duties in the


    family as well as remove her from office. She will also be removed from the family records and chased out of the Xu family. Any


    assets currently under her name will be taken back by the family."


    "As for the position of head of the Xu family, Xu Feng-Liang will take up this position again. Before he returns to the n, all


    matters of the family will be under the charge of Xu Feng-Liang''s daughter, Xu Mei-Feng. Once her father returns, she will hand


    over all authority to him."


    Xu Mei-Feng''s voice echoed loudly in the room.


    The other elders of the Xu family remained quiet and expressionless as they listened to Xu Mei-Feng read the announcement.


    Their eyes were filled with hostility towards Xu Lei.


    It was obvious that everyone here had already reached amon understanding beforeing to this meeting.


    In other words, Xu Lei had been left out of the real family meeting that was held before this.


    When this announcement was made, Xu Lei was too stunned to move.


    Her pretty face expressed surprise and shock, but she was more ovee by disappointment and dejection.


    Actually, when she saw Xu Mei-Feng earlier, she already knew that this family meeting wasn''t going to end well.


    But she thought that no matter how much the elders in the family disliked her, they would probably only reprimand her for making


    mistakes. She didn''t expect them topletely remove her from office and even chase her out of the family, going so far as to


    take her out from the family records.


    After a brief period of shock, Xu Lei started smiling.


    That was a very sad smile that carried self-deprecation and mocking.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    "So all of you have ganged up to force me out of my position? And you''re even chasing me out from the family? So much for


    treating all of you as my elders and my family. You''ve all turned around to bully a youngdy who has lost both her parents. How


    wonderful. My granduncle and all my uncles are simply wonderful people," said Xu Lei as she shook her head andughed


    bitterly. Her eyes started to redden.


    But she continued to hold her head high as she faced them and said, "But | would really like to ask my uncles one question.


    What wrong have | done? Why does it make you hate and detest me to the point where you want to chase me out of the family?


    Haven''t | done enough over thest two years?"


    "| was the one who has made the Xu family rise in position and return to its former glory. | was the one who multiplied your


    benefits as well. | have been properly ountable to every person in this family!"


    "But | simply cannot understand. | have worked so hard to make this family better, and I''ve worked to give the family a better life.


    Why do you still oust me from the family like this? Is it just because | don''t have anybody to rely on? Because | don''t have my


    parents to fall back on? Or because you think that a young woman isn''t worthy of leading the entire n?"


    Xu Lei''s eyes welled up with tears. Her heart was so aggrieved and so disappointed as her words questioned the intentions of


    the people standing before her.


    Was Xu Lei upset about losing her position as the head of the family?


    Of course not.


    She was just so disappointed in her family, and felt that she had been unfairly treated.


    Why hadn''t she received any affirmation despite working so hard?


    Why did all her hard work end up benefiting those who didn''t do anything to


    deserve it?


    Why did the heavens constantly take away everything wonderful in her life?


    She had already lost the parents who doted on her the most, the Fan whom she was infatuated with, and now, even her n was


    ganging up against her.


    There were times when Xu Lei felt that life was very tiring and terribly lonely.


    Her uncles detested her, her cousins ostracized her, and even her beloved Fan whom she relied on, had note to see her in


    ages.


    Nobody missed her and nobody showed her any concern.


    There were so many people on this, but Xu Lei often felt like she was all by herself.


    "Xu Lei, stop pretending that you''re


    very pitiful. Everybody in Yanjing


    knows that you''re that country


    bumpkin''s mistress. You''ve


    discriminated against your Owe IT


    family an suppariedts meone from


    Jiagéong instead. Isn''t that clearly a


    n to eventually turn the Xu family


    business into the Ye family business?


    That alone makes you unworthy to


    be the head of this family! There''s no


    way we''ll allow you to hand over


    everything our ancestors have


    umted over the generations to


    someone who isn''t even a Xu!" said


    Xu Mei-Feng coldly. She had no


    sympathy for this cousin of hers at


    all. Please read the original content at

    Xu Lei got it now. "So you''re doing this as an attack on Fan."


    "If not? You think it''s an attack on


    you? You''re not worth that much.


    Everyone in the Yanjing corporate


    world knows that you''ve reached


    your current p ten eliepatse


    yOD VERS Kiver, Without his support,


    you''re nothing! You think you could


    be the head of the Xu family?


    You think you could be the chairman


    of the chamber ofmerce? You


    think you could make all those rich


    and powerful people listen to you?"


    sneered Xu Mei-Feng as she spat


    nasty words at her cousin. Please

    Xu Lei didn''t get angry when she heard these words.


    She didn''t mind others thinking that she was Ye Fan''s mistress in Yanjing.


    As long as she could be associated with that young man, she would feel happy inside.


    Even after Xu Mei-Feng had mocked


    her, Xu Lei still replied her with a


    smile, "Since you know what my Fan


    is capable of, then ssapuld kAbW


    thafthig sUBoddéd inal decision by


    the n will not affect my position in


    Yanjing''s corporate circle. The rich


    and powerful of Yanjing only


    acknowledge Fan as their leader, and


    | am his representative in Yanjing, so


    they will only listen to me." Please

    "So what if you be the head of the Xu family? That''s just a title that doesn''t wield any power. You will not be able to have


    any authority to control the assets that the Xu family has in Yanjing, and there will be no way you could control anybody else in


    Yanjing either."
