CHAPTER 882 COLLECTING DEBTS
Long Ling'er bit her lips hard and was so angry she couldn't get a single word out. She had never seen someone so shameless before!
She watched as these greedy people swallowed up the Long family assets. She wanted to fight back, only to find that she couldn't do anything about it.
They were purposely splitting the assets in front of her. But there was nothing she could do except voice out her protests.
"We've discussed it among ourselves," said her eldest uncle, Long Qiang, as he turned to look at Long Ling'er. "The Long family cannot go without a leader. Your father has died, but the Long family has to continue advancing. Otherwise, how are we going to keep our position as a supremely powerful family?"
He went on before Long Ling'er could say anything, "From now on, I will be the head of the family. Your uncles are all fine with it, so that's decided." "I will preside over all matters pertaining to
the Long family, and they will keep me in check. You can just concentrate on dealing with your father's funeral."
Long Ling'er's eyes were bloodshot. She had really underestimated how low these people could go!
They were being this blatant about it now?
"If my dad hadn't died and my brother hadn't gone mad, would you have dared to do something like this?" she asked the people around her. Her words were dripping with sarcasm.
All of them had nasty expressions on their faces. It was true that if Long Xiang hadn't died and Long Fei hadn't gone mad, they would have no say in the Long family at all.
"There are no ifs," scoffed Long Qiang. He looked over at the coffin and was sure that Long Xiang wasn't going to just walk out of it alive.
"That's that then! Now, as the head of the Long family, I'm ordering you to hand over everything that you have on your hands!
You shall obey what I say!"
"Dream on!"
"Long Ling'er!" shouted Long Qiang. "Do you want your father to die with regrets? Do you want to watch the Long family fall apart and be swallowed up by the other supremely powerful families?"
"If that happens, then Long Ling'er, you're the greatest sinner of the Long family! You will be unable to face your father and all your ancestors after you die!"
All the uncles started blaming Long Ling'er and berating her, as if she was being unfiIial if she didn't hand over her share of the assets.
"Hand them over! Hand them over right now!"
"You have no control over the Long family assets! Hand them over now!" "Hand them over!" Tears streamed down Long Ling'ers face. Were these people...really her relatives?
All she saw were ugly and evil faces!
"Master Long!" The butler was quick enough to change sides and ran over to Long Qiang to greet him. "There's someone outside who says that he wants to see the head of the Long family."
Long Qing instantly smiled.
He had just become the head of the Long family and someone had come knocking on his door already. His authority and might was no weaker than Long Xiang's after all.
"Let him in, I suppose he's here to send his condolences." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"Yes, Master."
The butler immediately ran out again.
Long Qiang looked at Long Ling'er and sighed.
"Don't be stubborn anymore, you can't fight us. Let's not make things so ugly here and make us all look bad. If you can't even get your father's funeral right, then you're truly unfilial."
A set of footsteps could be heard walking in from outside the main hall.
Long Qiang looked up to see someone he didn't recognize and walked over immediately.
"Who are you? What are you doing in the Long house?" His voice carried authority and he had already gotten himself into the role of being the head of the Long family. The way he talked and walked made him sound and look like the head of a supremely powerful family.
He had that air of being someone in a higher position than others, as if he wanted everyone else to kowtow before him.
"Me?" Jiang Ning looked at him, then turned to glance at the lonely and helpless Long Ling'er and said calmly, ‘Tm here to
collect debts from the Long family."
