Looking at Qin Chuan’s mocking expression, Xiao Tianquan’s face suddenly froze.
Now that a marriage alliance was impossible, if the Xiao Family couldn’t receive the protection of the Black Dragon Commerce Association, they would be utterly doomed.
"Mr. Qin, I beg you to be magnanimous, considering that Xiao Mengyi is carrying your child, please give the Xiao Family one more chance!"
Xiao Tianquan was completely panicked, pleading with a sorrowful face, "After all, the Xiao Family has raised Xiao Mengyi for over twenty years. If the family were to be destroyed, she would surely be devastated, right?"
"You are her man, you could save the Xiao Family with just a word. Do you really want to let your woman spend the rest of her life in guilt?"
Everyone was shocked by Xiao Tianquan’s shamelessness; previously, he had been eager to kill Qin Chuan with his own hands, but now he was begging Qin Chuan to help the Xiao Family.
"Shut up!"
Qin Chuan suddenly shouted, looking at Xiao Tianquan with a cold face and said, "Not destroying the Xiao Family by my own hands is already in consideration of Xiao Mengyi. Dare to overstep further, and I’ll show no mercy!"
Xiao Tianquan wanted to say something more, but when their eyes met—Qin Chuan’s filled with a murderous intent—he couldn’t help shuddering and hastily closed his mouth.
Seeing that he had quieted down, Qin Chuan then turned to look at Xiao Qing.
At this moment, Xiao Qing’s face was filled with despair, and she looked quite abnormal, as if something was seriously wrong.
Xiao Mengyi was biting her red lips tightly, her face filled with intense concern.
She knew that Xiao Qing had been vile in her actions towards Qin Chuan; it wouldn’t be excessive even if Qin Chuan killed Xiao Qing.
Her heart was uneasy, uncertain of how Qin Chuan would deal with Xiao Qing.
Just then, Qin Chuan suddenly stepped forward to stand in front of Xiao Qing, looking down at her, who was sitting on the ground, and said in a cold voice, "You should be grateful that you have a good daughter. If it weren’t for her, you would have become a corpse back in Jiangcheng City."
"Today, I will spare your life, but this is the last time I will do so! If you dare to harbor any ill intentions again, I will not hesitate to kill you!"
As his voice fell, a furious murderous intent enveloped Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing trembled non-stop, her face full of terror, and she nodded continuously, saying, "Yes, yes, I won’t harbor any ill intentions!"
Clearly, she was genuinely frightened.
The worry in Xiao Mengyi’s heart instantly vanished. She had thought that Qin Chuan would either kill or severely injure Xiao Qing, never expecting that he would spare her, and all because of her.
Looking at Qin Chuan’s retreating figure, she was reminded of the shaky silhouette that had stood in front of her back in that small bar in Jiangcheng City.
Her eyes instantly moistened, filled with tenderness.
If before, her feelings for Qin Chuan were mostly gratitude, at this moment, she was certain that she had fallen in love with this man.
She was grateful for that night in the small bar when she met Qin Chuan, grateful for giving herself completely to him after going to the hotel.
She was even more grateful that she had arrived in time to stop Song Qingshan from promising Song Yan to Qin Chuan.
"If you can spare a person who is determined to kill you because of me, how can I let you down?"
Xiao Mengyi thought to herself, then her eyes showed a hint of resolve, and she said to Xiao Qing with a cold face, "From today on, I have nothing to do with the Xiao Family anymore; I hope you take care of yourself."
When she said those words, it was as if she had shed a burden she had carried on her shoulders for over twenty years, and she felt incredibly relieved.
Xiao Qing’s face was filled with stupefaction, as if she could never have imagined that the daughter she had raised for over twenty years would make such a decision.
Xiao Tianquan was also frozen in place.
Luo Jun’s body suddenly trembled, and his facial expression froze.
Even Qin Chuan was full of surprise at this moment, completely unprepared for Xiao Mengyi to act like this.
After Xiao Mengyi finished speaking, she walked straight up to Qin Chuan, her eyes red as she said, "From now on, you will be the only family I have in this world."
Qin Chuan’s heart trembled fiercely, and he abruptly extended his arms, pulling Xiao Mengyi into an embrace, his face filled with tenderness.
Ye Qingwan watched this scene, her eyes slightly red with a hint of envy in their depths.
Granny Wu glanced at Ye Qingwan, then sighed deeply.
Since ancient times, heroes have found it difficult to overcome the enticements of love, and likewise, it’s hard for beauties to overcome the challenges posed by heroes!
Having met such a talented young man, who else could catch miss’s eye in the future?
Watching the two tightly embracing each other, Chen Kun, whose face was already a bloody mess, twisted his expression into something even more ferocious and breathed heavily with rage in his eyes.
He had no feelings for Xiao Mengyi; originally, he only coveted Xiao Mengyi’s beauty and wanted to swallow the entire Xiao Family by means of a marriage alliance.
But now, Xiao Mengyi was tightly hugging his mortal enemy, the man who had nearly killed him and she was doing it in front of so many people.
Chen Kun was burning with rage, feeling as if there was a bright green hat on his head.
It wasn’t just him, but Chen Sheng, Chen Baiqiang, Chen Wang, Ouyang Ying, and others were unable to contain their anger.
Because of Qin Chuan, the Chen Family’s face had been completely lost.
"Xiao Yi, you have the blood of the Xiao Family running through your veins, how can you just say you’re leaving and leave?"
Xiao Tianquan said in an urgent tone, "Grandfather truly realizes his mistake, and will never make things difficult for you again."
"Haven’t you always wanted to build a business empire? Grandfather can hand over all the Xiao Family’s businesses to you to manage, I believe you can definitely succeed!"
He was not only anxious but also very fearful.
As long as Xiao Mengyi remained with the Xiao Family, even if Qin Chuan couldn’t forgive the Xiao Family in the short term, there was still room for things to come full circle in time.
But once Xiao Mengyi left the Xiao Family, Qin Chuan would definitely not help the Xiao Family, and not only that, the Chen Family would not let the Xiao Family off the hook either. By then, the Xiao Family would truly be doomed.
"Mr. Qin, I beg you, for the sake of my father Luo Changsheng, to give the Xiao Family one more chance, will you?"
Luo Jun also made a rare plea, his face filled with begging, "I only have Xiao Yi as my daughter, if she leaves the Xiao Family, I’ll no longer have a daughter."
"Qin Chuan, you’re about to become a father too, I hope you’ll consider for the sake of the child, and give the Xiao Family one more chance."
"Oh right, you must be very curious, who notified the Song Family that your sister could be in danger, and also about Xiao Yi’s pregnancy, aren’t you?"
With these words, Xiao Tianquan and Xiao Qing both stared at Luo Jun in disbelief.
Xiao Mengyi looked at Luo Jun in surprise and asked, "Dad, was it you who informed the Song Family?"
Luo Jun quickly nodded, his eyes red as he looked at Xiao Mengyi and said, "Dad learned that the Xiao Family was planning to kidnap Mr. Qin’s sister, so I immediately notified the Song Family."
"Afterwards, when Dad found out that you were pregnant with Mr. Qin’s child, I informed the Song Family about it too."
As he spoke, Luo Jun’s face revealed a bitter smile, "You know, Dad doesn’t have any say in the Xiao Family, even if I spoke up for you, it wouldn’t make any difference."
"Although Dad can’t help you openly, I can still help you in secret!"
