It seed that all his hopes were nothing but wishful thinking; he had foolishly believed that his mother would care for him, only to find out she had only been planning to grab the money and flee.
She really loved money, continuously instilling in him the need to fight for the family fortune. Now that he had secured it, she abandoned him for the sake of wealth.
He felt utterly pathetic; there was not a single person in this world who truly cared for him.
At this mont, he could only be described as utterly disheartened.
"Young master," at this ti, Amo’s eyes were filled with hatred for the mistress. How could she treat the young master this way? He had been struck a blow by his own brother earlier in the day, and now by his own mother. He couldn’t handle it.
"Amo, I’m alright, let’s return to the other residence," he said.
The two of them returned to the other residence, and upon arrival, Li Fuyou’s heart sank completely; the other residence was also ransacked.
No longer able to control his emotions, Li Fuyou burst into bitter laughter; such an outco was indeed ironic for him.
"Young master," Amo began anxiously, "young master, you still have Amo."
Li Fuyou looked at Amo. Yes, these years, the only one who remained truly loyal to him was Amo.
He stifled his laughter, stood up, and moved the cabinet that was against the wall, revealing a hidden compartnt. Seeing that the items in the compartnt were still there, Li Fuyou’s lips curled into a slight smile. Luckily, he had been cautious; otherwise, all these would have been taken by his mother.
He took the items from the compartnt and handed them to Amo, saying, "Amo, sell off Dongfeng restaurant in our town within two days."
Indeed, what he handed to Amo was the land deed for Dongfeng Restaurant in town, a matter he had already decided on during the day.
The demands of the corrupt official were sothing he could not agree to. If he had agreed, he would truly be in eternal darkness.
He could not yield; he still had a chance.
He had to sell the restaurant before the corrupt official seized his other restaurants.
With the money, he would flee; he could no longer stay in this County, tired of being the subject of pointing fingers.
If it were only the Chu Family’s eldest son, he could have fought back, but against the governnt office, he stood no chance.
Now, his only option was to compromise, safeguard his wealth first, and make a coback elsewhere.
As for his vengeance, he still rembered it well.
"Young master."
"Amo, let’s make a coback sowhere else," he said.
"Yes, young master," Amo agreed, feeling that the young master’s decision was the right one, as everyone in the county was talking about the young master. Perhaps it would be better for him to live elsewhere.
The next morning, Li Fuyou was awakened by shouting from outside.
"What are you doing?" Amo yelled out.
A man holding a deed spoke up, "We’re just here to collect the house. This mansion has been bought by our young master; hurry up and leave, we need to clean up the courtyard."
Hearing this, Li Fuyou’s eyes filled with hatred. He hadn’t expected his mother to go to such extres, not sparing even Li Mansion.
Probably the reason Li Mansion was deserted was that his mother had sold the servants for money.
Amo looked at his young master, and upon seeing him nod, said, "Allow us to gather our things, and we will leave right away."
"Make it quick," the man said impatiently.
After collecting the items from the hidden compartnt, Li Fuyou and Amo left Li Mansion.
Sitting in the carriage, Li Fuyou suddenly thought of the ti he had driven Li Fugui out of the rented courtyard; so this was what it felt like to be driven out?
