Faced with Li Lei's accusations, Xu Yang no longer cowered as he had before.
"So what if I hit him? At worst, we'll just pay. If one million isn't enough, then make it two million."
Li Lei could hardly believe her ears. "What did you just say? Do you think money can fix everything?"
"Do you really think having money gives you the right to do whatever you want?"
Xu Yang grinned. "Isn't that exactly how it works? Mom, you don't need to worry about anything. Let me tell you, our Xu Family has strong backers."
Li Lei's expression shifted slightly. "Are you talking about your uncle?"
Lately, Xu Guangzhi had indeed been promoted. If that was what Xu Yang was relying on, it was maddening.
But Xu Yang scoffed with disdain. "My uncle? Haha, he's just mediocre at best. I called him and told him to come, and he had the nerve to tell me to look after myself."
"Haha, just wait until I bring out the Xu Family's real backing—he'll come begging to me."
