Lu Ming darkened his face. He didn’t get angry but said calmly, “Miss Lin, you have received so many things from the Xia clan, and now you want to leave without paying any price? Do you think you can take something from us so easily?”
“Oh? It seems that you guys insisted on stuffing them on me, right? I didn’t ask for anything of my own accord except for the consultation fee. Tsk, but now it seems like I’m the one who robbed the Xia clan. I didn’t expect the Xia clan to be so stingy. Old Master Xia’s life worth nothing?”
“How dare you!”
“You have to look at who you’re baiting. I don’t care if you stink up my reputation with this incident. It’s yet certain who will regret it in the future anyway. Mr. Lu, you must have gone through a lot. You should know that everyone will be sick sometimes. Do I need to explain explicitly what it means to offend a good doctor?”
“Are you threatening me?
“I’m just telling you the truth.”
“Miss Lin, you are so eloquent. I hope you won’t regret it in the future. The door of the Xia clan will only be opened for you once.”
“That’s not necessarily true unless you are gods and never get sick. By the way, Mr. Lu, don’t be so sure, or you will eat your words sooner or later, and it will be humiliating.
Finishing, Chuchu left without an extra glance.
Lu Ming looked at her, his gaze fixed on her back.
This little bitch showed no appreciation of favor!
Chuchu felt Lu Ming’s sight and raised her middle finger toward him.
Even if he didn’t know what this international gesture meant, it didn’t stop him from feeling it was a humiliation, so his anger rose even more.
But he would not blatantly lay hands on Chuchu. It would harm the reputation of the Xia clan once the news spread.
He failed to bring Chuchu and could only return to Xia Songquan to report this.
“Miss Lin disdains the Xia clan. She refuses to stay no matter what terms I offer and even speaks insolently against you. She also said that Mr. Chengzhu had approached her and said the same thing!’
“Chengzhu indeed has the idea of taking over the Xia clan. He does not think about what he is capable of. Will the Xia clan exist if he’s in charge? He could never be the heir of the Xia clan. As for the little bitch Lin, she can’t escape me as long as she is still in the capital of Guangqing Province.”
“What do you intend to do, sir?
“For a disobedient woman, break her legs and pride, she will never be able to flaunt it again and can only obediently listen to me. This is not urgent. We have plenty of time to spend with her. Women who have some ability will make themselves conceited.”
“Then I’ll leave and make arrangements?”
“Go on, get it done. I will reward you handsomely.”
“Yes.”
Lu Ming bowed and left.
Xia Songquan felt tormented with an everlasting itch when he thought of Chuchu’s appearance.
So many women were in his harem, but none of them compared to her. He liked untamed women the most, and he liked the sense of accomplishment after conquering her and doing whatever he wanted to her. It had been long since a woman gave him the impulsion to conquer.
She was young but had a fatal attraction.
Xia Songquan closed his eyes, imagining those images. Consuming with filthy thoughts, he immediately asked for a concubine to satisfy his lust.
Chuchu naturally couldn’t know what Xia Songquan was picturing in his mind.
She went to look for Xie Heng, who hadn’t returned yet.
Chuchu asked the people there, “Where exactly did he go?”
“I don’t know, madam. If you have any questions, please wait until he returns.”
“You don’t know, or he wouldn’t let you say?”
“I dont know.”
Seeing that he was steadfast, Chuchu felt somewhat helpless.
“If he comes back, let him come to me.” “Okay, madam.”
Failing to see Xie Heng, Chuchu had to leave.
She strolled around the capital of Guangqing Province and bought many things for the close families in the village.
After paying off, she asked someone to send the things directly to the Yuan clan.
Thinking of Zhao Meilan’s engagement with Hu Yiming, Chuchu picked out a set of headdresses as a gift for her in the silverware shop.
After all, Zhao Meilan grew up in the village, so it would be inappropriate to send her gold and silver jewels that Xie Heng had asked her to manage because they were too expensive.
Wearing them would bring trouble to her, and then it would be a disaster instead.
Chuchu came out of the silverware shop, thinking about something she needed to buy when she heard the words of a passerby.
“Have you heard? The Ye and Hong clans brought many people to the Yuan clan. They seemed to force the eldest daughter of the Yuan clan to pick one of the two clans to marry.”
“No way? Forcing a girl to marry in broad daylight? Did they respect any of the laws? Besides, how dare they ask to marry Miss Yuan after their nasty scandals?”
“How can we know what the lords are thinking? Let’s go. Let’s hurry over now. Maybe we are just in time for the drama. I wonder what the Yuan clan will do if they don’t choose any of the two clans. Maybe it can’t be settled peacefully today, right?”
Chuchu’s eyebrows were slightly raised.
The Ye clan and the Hong clan were so shameless!
They even forced Yuan Hui to choose one of them to marry.
Was it because they all got something on the Yuan clan? Otherwise, how could they be so bold?
Chuchu turned the corner into a small alley and rushed back to Yuan’s house as fast as she could.
The Old Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan were confronting the Ye and Hong clans.
Chuchu didn’t know who was there from the Ye and Hong clans, but she knew the second Mr. Ye and the third Mr. Hong.
The two didn’t seem to have hurt their peace since the incident that day, and they were standing side by side, looking natural, as if nothing had happened.
“Old Mrs. Yuan, Miss Yuan is at the age of marriage She cannot delay any longer. The Ye clan is also a prestigious family in the city, and we will treat her well if she marries our clan. You’ve refused marriage again and again. Are you looking down on us?
The elder of the Ye clan raised the teacup and blew on it with an arrogant face as if the marriage with the Yuan family was a handout from them.
Old Mrs. Yuan’s face was sullen. “l have already said before. There is no result between Huihui and the second Mr. Ye. We will not marry Huihui into the Ye clan. As for what your Fourth Old Mr. Ye thinks, that’s his business!”
“The Ye clan won’t do. What about the Hong clan? Both of us are in business. If we can ally by marriage, we will not dare to be underestimated by our rivals even outside Guangqing Province. Although we are not as powerful and rich as you, it may not be the case outside Guangqing Province.” Someone from the Hong family also spoke up.
“So you are here today to force us to marry off Huihui too?” Old Mrs. Yuan laughed coldly. “Well, you guys are allying to bully us, aren’t you? You know what? Huihui will not enter any of your doors as long as I am still alive!”
The Fourth Old Mr. Ye laughed. “Old Mrs. Yuan, this should be a good thing, but you plan to ruin it? Perhaps you need to think about the situation of the Yuan clan now. Can you still get the salt license next year?
“You’re threatening me?” Old Mrs. Yuan flared..
