Lu Zheng looked at Ming Xiang's father with a smile: "You don't want me to call you uncle. If I don't, you'll say I'm impolite. If I do, you'll say I'm not worthy, right?"

Mingxiang's father gave a cold laugh.

That's right, he wanted to force Lu Zheng to withdraw by doing this.

In this way, even if Mingxiang blames him later, there will be some leniency, and she won't hold a grudge against him.

To be honest, Mingxiang's father is now trying to have his cake and eat it too. He wants to do everything, but he doesn't want Mingxiang to blame him and her husband.

Mingxiang remained silent, because she knew very well that Lu Zheng could handle this small matter.

If it were Jiang Li'er, she wouldn't speak at this moment simply because she looks down on Lu Zheng, feels that she has no reason to defend Lu Zheng, and might even feel ashamed.

However, the two are completely different.

After a cold laugh, Mingxiang's father said, "Did I say that? You're just imagining what I'm thinking. Xiaoxiang, do you see what kind of man is next to you right now? Do you think someone like that is suitable for our Ming family?"

Mingxiang hadn't planned to speak, but since her father had asked, she had to. So she said with a smile, "Dad, you're so prejudiced against Lu Zheng, isn't it just because Lu Zheng doesn't have a powerful backer?"

To be honest, Lu Zheng didn't have the same kind of power behind him as Zhou Heng before.

But things are different now; Lu Zheng has the real support of the Xia family.

Xia Linyu, President Xia, is the pillar of the entire Xia family. According to President Xia's wishes, he would like to have his daughter marry someone like Lu Zheng as soon as possible.

It has to be said that the people who can sit in that position have absolutely sharp eyes; they can see through a lot of things at a glance.

Unfortunately, Mingxiang's parents did not have that ability.

Mingxiang showed no politeness towards her parents at this moment, directly exposing their thoughts.

In fact, Mingxiang's parents were indeed like that.

One reason is that they want to gain face in the village, even if it means suffering behind their backs and enduring their daughter's hatred for them for a lifetime, as long as they have a voice in the village.

Another reason is that they share similar ideas with the old clan chief, believing that having the support of a powerful force behind them is better than simply engaging in business.

Without this, Lu Zheng is nothing.

The couple even naturally had the idea that Lu Zheng was with Ming Xiang because of Old Master Ming's influence.

At least that's how they told themselves and comforted themselves.

This way, they won't feel guilty; on the contrary, it makes them feel that everything they've done is right.

"Hehe, daughter, you're not wrong to say that. Since you've put it so plainly, I'll just point it out. My husband and I are doing this for your own good."

Mingxiang's mother also said, "Yes, daughter, we're doing this for your own good."

Parents all over the world are the same; they can destroy all of their children's expectations with the phrase "it's for the good of the child."

Parents should absolutely not allow their children to do things they believe are not allowed, because it is for the children's good, and the children's requests can be completely ignored.

Mingxiang's parents are now trying to force Lu Zheng to separate from Mingxiang in this way.

Then Mingxiang's mother turned to look at Lu Zheng.

The two of them played opposite roles, one good cop and the other bad cop.

Mingxiang's mother said, "Lu Zheng, don't blame your uncle for speaking so harshly. Listen to your aunt, you and Mingxiang are not suitable. Our little Xiang is destined to fly higher, and you can't give her what she wants."

She spoke in a relatively gentle tone, and with them echoing each other, they figured that since they were all speaking in such a soft manner, Lu Zheng should at least listen to them, right?

But as soon as she finished speaking, Lu Zheng didn't stand on ceremony with her at all and asked her directly, "Is this what my wife wants, or what you want?"

"you……"

yes!

Don't use Mingxiang as an excuse.

What Mingxiang wanted was very pure and simple, not complicated, and without the messy things her parents wanted to see. She simply wanted to be with Lu Zheng.

This is love.

Besides, they're not short of money.

With the money Mingxiang and Luzheng have earned, they could spend it all in several lifetimes. Moreover, neither Mingxiang nor Luzheng are the type to squander money. For them, with enough to eat and drink and an industry that can support them for decades, what more could they ask for?

If an industry like this is managed properly, it could even continue to thrive for a century.

Why should we have so many shackles in life?

So Mingxiang didn't know what her parents were thinking.

Mingxiang also said, "Mom and Dad, Lu Zheng has already given me what I wanted. What do you mean by saying that he can't give me what I want? Can you please stop using me as a shield every time?"

"Also, don't say that Lu Zheng can't give you what you want, and don't think that Lu Zheng will make you lose face in the village."

In fact, Mingxiang had never spoken to the couple in this tone before.

The nanny standing nearby couldn't help but swallow hard when she heard Ming Xiang's cold tone.

Wow! Is Mingxiang about to have a complete falling out with her parents?

Mingxiang's parents were also taken aback.

A moment later, Mingxiang's father gritted his teeth and said, "Xiaoxiang, are you going to break ties with your parents for an outsider?"

“Outsider?” Mingxiang’s voice gradually turned cold. “Lu Zheng is my boyfriend, my family. How can he be an outsider? And if I express my demands, does that mean I’m siding with outsiders?”

...

While Mingxiang and the others were talking, the old clan chief had already returned home.

Last night, when I was talking to the couple, the old clan chief actually secretly installed a very small listening device in Mingxiang's parents' home.

With this bugging device, he could hear all the conversations in Mingxiang's house.

He didn't care whether Mingxiang's parents could break up Lu Zheng and Mingxiang; as long as the current effect was achieved, and their family started arguing, that was enough.

The goal was to disrupt Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang's mood and pave the way for their next move.

They were happy to see everything going in the direction they expected.

Then he clapped his hands and exclaimed, "See? I told you so! Hehe, awesome!"

His two sons chimed in, "Dad, you're really something! The fact that Mingxiang's family is arguing is great for us. Li Gu and his group can use this to their advantage. We have to break Mingxiang and his family up today."

"Well, the excitement at their house is still going on, and I'd really like to see what happens next."
