I Am Born With A Sliver Spoon

“It’s so lively in here!” a discordant voice suddenly called out from the door, and an entourage swaggered in with a young man leading them.

“I’m sorry, you’re not invited to this event.” A servant blocked their way.

“Get out of my way!” The man shoved him aside, and there was only silence afterward.

“Long Shaolei?” Madame Yang frowned and stood up, with the entire family following suit and sending Long Shaolei glares. Long Shaolei, the firstborn heir of the Long family, was a young but extremely influential man with the nickname ‘Trump Card.’ Second only to the Long family patriarch, he had also led the charge in battling and subduing all the other families on behalf of his own.

Since returning from overseas four years ago, he had been responsible for almost a hundred buyouts of both big and small enterprises, which further cemented the Long family’s position and brought it to new heights.

“Madame Yang, isn’t it a little rude to leave our family off the guest list for such a lively celebration?” Long Shaolei squinted at her with a small smile.

“The Long family practically has power over all of Yan Jing. A small family such as ours wouldn’t dare trouble a force of nature such as yours,” Madame Yang shot back. “State your business, Young Master Lei. Didn’t we already take care of the debts my son had incurred with your family a few days ago?”

“Of course. To be honest, we wouldn’t have minded even if he settled them a few days late. After all, the Yang and Long family go way back, so we would never hold such a small loan against you people. However, I’ve come to collect a different debt, and this time it’s not a small amount!” Long Shaolei smiled.

“Hmm?” Madame Yang frowned, whereas her children and many of the family members seemed to tense up after hearing Long Shaolei’s words.

Lei? We do have debts, but they were from Mr. Zhang, Mr. Miao, and Mr.

bluffing! It’s impossible for my family to be deep in debt as our family’s business is so large!” Madame Yang’s face paled. Long Shaolei’s implications were crystal clear: If he called in all those debts at once, the Yang family wouldn’t be able to scrounge up the cash to repay it unless they mass mortgaged their assets. Since the banks would

The Yang family had undeniably been dealt a big blow, and the family as a whole were still too shocked to even react to this threat.
