Lu Xiao, possessing healing and purification abilities, transmigrated to a futuristic beastman era where females were revered and males were lowly. And as soon as she arrived, she gained a side-hus...
Chapter 125 Guests.
After Duke Green said this, he quickly looked at Bena who was kneeling at his feet: "Tell me, is this true?"
Bena hated Lu Xiao to death at this moment, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She looked at the angry Duke Green timidly and argued: "I don't know, mother, I really don't know. What 20 million? I don't even have that much money. How could I have that much money?"
"It seems that Your Excellency the Duke is still unaware of the matter. Do you need me to give you some time to investigate this matter?" At this moment, Lu Xiao and Ares were sitting on chairs and spoke calmly, as if they came here not to deal with things but just to watch the show.
At this point, Duke Green already believed half of it.
After all, even if Duke Green didn't care about the female cubs, he would definitely hear about the situation in their family.
It's just that this matter has caused Lu Xiao to come to my house, which is really too embarrassing.
But losing face is one thing, but losing money is another.
"Earl Lu Xiao should have seen it. I was not aware of this matter, and I don't know which idiot in my family said it. I hope Earl Lu Xiao doesn't mind. I will definitely punish them. As for Bena's disrespect to your partner, I will ask her to apologize."
As soon as he finished speaking, Duke Green lowered his eyes and looked at Bena. His meaning was very clear without her having to speak.
Bena didn't expect this to happen. Duke Green didn't care whether she did it or not, he just didn't want to lose the 20 million.
She could see Duke Green's purpose, so how could Lu Xiao not see it?
He chuckled and said, "Duke Green, you really don't want to admit it, right? But it's not surprising. After all, all your children are like this. It's normal that your family has no credibility. I've learned a lesson today, and I know what's going on. If I run into your family again in the future, I'd better stay away. Ares, let's go. Remember, if you see a female from Duke Green's family approaching, call the police first."
Hearing Lu Xiao's words, Ares naturally cooperated with all his strength: "Okay, lady."
The two of them simply reduced Duke Green to the dust by doing this.
This was the first time Duke Green confronted Lu Xiao. He had never expected that this young female was so difficult to deal with, and even refused to respond to any threats or persuasion.
If we let them leave now, we don't know what the reputation of the Duke of Green's Mansion will be like in the future.
"Look, it's getting late now. Why don't we eat first and talk while we eat? This matter is not urgent, right?" In order to ease the atmosphere, Duke Green took the initiative to speak, "Butler, go prepare a table of delicious food to entertain the two of you."
The housekeeper naturally did not dare to delay and left in a hurry.
Lu Xiao sneered: "What does Duke Green mean by this? Do you think that my husband and I can't afford to eat, so you come to ask for money?"
"How could that be? With the status of Earl Lu Xiao, it is an honor for you to stay here for a meal. Besides, my Bei Xian Bei Na is not sensible, and I am sorry to trouble you. As for the 20 million you mentioned, we can discuss it."
Duke Green knew very well that if he didn't pay the money today, he would definitely fail.
But 20 million still made her feel uncomfortable and distressed.
"Let's discuss. Is Duke Green regretting paying 20 million? Or does he think it's too much and he can't afford it? If that's the case, I can understand. As long as Duke Green says a word, we don't have to eat and we can leave immediately."
The smile on Duke Green's face twitched because of Lu Xiao's words.
Obviously, Duke Green, who had lived a smooth life for half of his life, had never been treated like this.
"Lord Lu Xiao, I am thinking of your youth and don't want to argue with you. I am also willing to treat you with delicious food, but you should not be too pushy. Don't forget whose territory this is!"
Duke Green obviously doesn't intend to endure it anymore. At worst, he will just throw the jar into the air. Lu Xiao is a meritorious earl. Does she really think she is so tough? Can she climb over her head?
"Just these words are enough. I now know why the female cubs in your house are so domineering. It turns out it's been passed down from generation to generation." Lu Xiao sneered and his eyes changed from coldness to contempt.
The atmosphere was a bit tense at this moment, but Lu Xiao acted as if she didn't care, which made Duke Green wonder if she had any other tricks up her sleeve.
But he also knew clearly in his heart that if he gave in at this moment, the loss would be 20 million.
Lu Xiao had already walked out with Ares, and judging from their backs, they showed no intention of staying.
That's so free and easy.
In fact, this is the same as bargaining when buying clothes. At this moment, what is being competed is psychological quality.
The next second, when Lu Xiao's legs had already stepped out of the door, Duke Green suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute."
The corners of Lu Xiao's lips curled up slightly, then returned to normal. She turned her head and stared at Duke Green with sharp eyes, but she did not speak, just silently waiting for Duke Green to speak.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "What, Duke Green is bullying others again?"
The voice sounded somewhat vicissitudes of life, and as soon as it appeared, everyone looked up.
Then I saw a gray-haired female woman and a younger female standing at the door, behind Lu Xiao.
The moment their eyes met, Lu Xiao saw some consideration in the other person's eyes.
The young female standing next to the woman nodded at her.
Lu Xiao was very sure that she had never seen these two people, and they had never appeared in the original owner's memory.
She was not sure whether these two people were enemies or friends, but from what they said, they did not get along well with Duke Green.
Could it be that this is another person who comes to collect debt from Duke Green?
Before Lu Xiao could think about it, Duke Green had already come to the door quickly and said respectfully, "Ms. Cecilia, why didn't you inform me in advance that you were coming so that I could greet you at the door in advance?"
"If I hadn't come to your house suddenly, how would I know that you were bullying the younger generation?"
When Cecilia said this, she deliberately glanced at Lu Xiao.
This was the first time she had seen this female cub of Admiral Crane.
Generally speaking, she doesn't care about the female cubs born to her male cubs, and they won't bother her with the matters of the female cubs.
But the little female in front of her was different. Not only did Admiral Clan personally ask her for help, but she had also investigated the deeds of this little female in recent days. She was capable and had her own ideas, and her intelligence was not as smart as her mother's dog brain.
Seeing her standing here with neither arrogance nor servility at this moment, her eyes brightened and her impression of Lu Xiao became better.
However, Lu Xiao felt confused and felt that the old woman looked at her strangely.
But the other party didn't say anything, leaving Lu Xiao with no way to ask.
But the other person gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
