Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Mu Ruyue, My Woman (Part 1)
Everyone was shocked. Who could speak at such a time? Besides, her joining the Xiao Family was a matter of course, as a member of the clan with Xiao blood should not remain outside.
“As for Xiao Yin and Xiao Min…” the elder sneered, “Strip them of the Xiao surname and expel them from the Xiao Family!”
Xiao Yin clenched his fists tightly. He got up from the ground, his angry eyes fixed on the elder, and said word by word, “Family Head, you will regret this!”
The elder didn’t bother with him and instead directly ordered the people nearby, “What are you standing there for? Throw these two out of the Xiao Family. Also, Eighth Elder, come with me.”
Having said this, the elder walked out of the meeting room without looking back.
“Grandpa.” Xiao Min walked to Xiao Yin’s side, her eyes brimming with humiliated tears.
She had gotten used to mischief with the protection of the Xiao Family, but now that she had lost this umbrella, she didn’t dare to imagine what awaited her.
“Minmin, let’s go. We don’t yearn for this Xiao Family. They will definitely regret what happened today!”
Murderous intent gradually thickened in Xiao Yin’s heart.
He would never let the Xiao Family off the hook!
Madam Sheng Yue watched the murderous intent in Xiao Yin’s eyes and sneered. Did he really think that his father would let him go? All of this was just for show to the other elders.
If a person like Xiao Yin wasn’t eliminated, he would become an endless threat. They never planned to spare him.
Isn’t there a saying that goes, “If people don’t fend for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them”?
Within the study, the elder looked at the Eighth Elder standing before him and said, “Eighth Elder, in this Xiao Family, you are the most loyal to me, which is why I want you to secretly assassinate Xiao Yin and his granddaughter.”
The Eighth Elder’s heart trembled violently, and he looked up at the elder in astonishment.
However, he soon calmed down and said, “There’s nothing wrong with what you’re doing, Family Head. Xiao Yin is a man who always seeks revenge for the slightest grievance. Holding a grudge now, he’ll surely do something against our Xiao Family later. Moreover, given the wrongs he has committed, he deserves a thousand deaths.”
The Eighth Elder was a clever man. He understood the chilling intent behind the elder’s actions. After all, Xiao Yin was also an elder of the Xiao Family and had certain connections within the family. If Xiao Yin were to be killed hastily, even if the other elders wouldn’t dare to openly confront the Family Head, they would feel cold inside. Therefore, he wanted to deal with Xiao Yin discreetly.
Outside the gate, a storm was directly in their path. Xiao Min struggled against the wind and dust, pulled her clothes closer, and turned to look at the elder beside her, “Grandpa, where do we go now?”
“Of course, to the Nangong Family,” Xiao Yin sneered. “If the Xiao Family can’t keep us, naturally there’s a place we should go. The Nangong Family has always been coveting the Xiao Family, but unfortunately, the Nangong Family has never really been a powerhouse. More than a decade ago, they almost got wiped out by Xiao Tianyu alone, but now apart from the Nangong Family, we don’t have anywhere else to go.”
Xiao Min was somewhat dissatisfied. How could the Nangong Family compare to the Xiao Family? Even though she was from a side branch in the Xiao Family, she was much more esteemed than the direct descendants of the Nangong Family.
“Minmin, you don’t understand. Over the years, the Nangong Family has produced a talented woman. This woman’s talents are exceptionally powerful. I’ve heard that she’s also looking for a man. Compared to the Xiao Family, the Nangong Family has a lot of potential. As long as we join the Nangong Family, we will definitely have the opportunity to avenge ourselves. Don’t you hate that woman Mu Ruyue to death? If we get the Nangong Family’s help, we will be able to return today’s humiliation to her!”
