The Favored Heiress

The engagement of the most adored daughter of the Li Family was broken off. Her furious family members railed against the heartless man and vowed to make him pay the price. * Later on, Li Qiao met her ex-fiancé’s big brother by chance. Some said he was the most mysterious man in Nanyang and his name was Shang Yu, aka Shang Shaoyan. While some others called him the overbearing and obsessive underground Overlord of Nanyang from whom everyone should stay away. Standing in the misty rain, Li Qiao gazed at the ruthless and untamed man with a shallow smile, said, “Hello, I’m Li Qiao.” She would become her ex-fiancé’s sister-in-law, if not wife. * Li Qiao and her ex-fiancé met again on the street several months later when he sneered at her, “Are you following me? Haven’t you given up hope yet?” A harsh voice berated him from behind, “Show some respect to your sister-in-law!” From now on, only one rumor was circulating in Nanyang City – The merciless Overlord of Nanyang had one woman he uncritically doted on. Her name was Li Qiao.

Chapter 109: Shang Zonghai Sets the Tone with a Hammer

Li Qiao skirted around the vestibule and stood at the entrance of the living room, immediately sensing an atmosphere of seriousness unlike ever before.

At this moment, the living room was exceptionally quiet.

Mr. and Mrs. Li sat on the double sofa to the side, their expressions solemn and their postures clearly restrained.

In the principal seat above, sat an elder about fifty years old, the ruler of the Parma Shang clan, Shang Yu's father Shang Zonghai.

Dressed in a gray Tang suit, he sat upright without a word or a smile, his temples graying, his facial features bearing a fifty percent resemblance to Shang Yu.

He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, had fine frown lines between his brows, and was twirling a string of black Buddha beads in his hand. He appeared detached, yet his presence exuded the unique authority and stability of someone of high status.
