When the old clan chief heard that Old Master Ming had arrived at their house and was speaking to the couple in that tone, a surge of inexplicable anger welled up within him.

It was only with great difficulty that he finally saw signs of dealing with Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang.

After all the trouble we went through to turn their family upside down, what's the meaning of this? Is he going to join in the fun again?

With this old man joining in the fun, many things will fall apart. What if it turns out the couple has compromised? Wouldn't all the things he wanted to see be for naught?

His two sons stared wide-eyed. The elder son exclaimed, "Dad, what's going on? Holy crap! Why is that old guy here?"

In their own home, they naturally spoke without restraint, even directly stating that Xiang's grandfather was an old man, and they dared to say so.

But when facing the old man, they would never have the courage, because if the old man got angry, he could turn their world upside down.

"Dad!" the second son hurriedly called out, "Should I go to their house?"

We can't let all our previous efforts go to waste now.

They've put in so much effort, and now they've agreed to Li Gu's request, even offending Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang. If something goes wrong at this crucial moment, they'll be furious.

But the old patriarch was clever this time.

He was furious at what his two idiotic sons were saying and snapped, "Shut up! Are you two idiots? Going now? This old man is so shrewd!"

Even if they don't go there now, the old patriarch knows that Grandpa Ming has guessed that they are the ones behind this. Wouldn't it be crazy to go there and add fuel to the fire?

"No, Dad, I..."

The two of them gasped for breath, then slumped their heads down again.

They were too impatient just now and didn't think about it in that way.

The old man gritted his teeth and said, "Let's wait and see."

Anyway, there's nothing much going on for the time being.

Let's take it one step at a time and see what happens.

They listened first and weren't in a hurry to go over.

Let's talk about it slowly when something comes up.

...

Mingxiang's parents were also extremely embarrassed.

However, this only made the couple dislike Lu Zheng even more.

Okay!

They had no choice but to accept that the Zhou family didn't have the same strength. But what were they planning to do? Bring out their old man as a backer and use him to intimidate them?

They had never seen such a shameless person!

However, the more this is the case, the less likely the couple will accept Lu Zheng!

Let's keep trying!

How many more years does this old man have left to live?

When he can no longer hold on, who will Lu Zheng be able to rely on?

Also, how can your own daughter side with outsiders?

They are her parents, okay? Yet Ming Xiang seems to be completely helping Lu Zheng and choosing to oppose them. What does that mean?

Seeing that the couple still looked indignant, the old man spoke up again, saying, "You two seem to be harboring a lot of resentment, don't you?"

The two of them were startled, and then they both came to their senses.

"Dad, no, it's us..."

"What are you? Ha... Let me tell you, Lu Zheng is the man I have my eye on. He is far more powerful than Xiao Xiang. Xiao Xiang marrying him is your good fortune! It is the good fortune of the Ming family. You are still living in a world of blessings without knowing it!"

"Secondly, Xiao Xiang and Lu Zheng are truly in love. I, an old man, have never cared about fame or fortune. The most important thing in life is to be happy. Do you want to deprive Xiao Xiang of her happiness and joy?"

Mingxiang's parents felt that they did this for Mingxiang's sake.

It's not that Mingxiang doesn't understand them, but that they aren't good enough to her.

Lu Zheng?

This person is all talk and no action.

Does he really have the ability?

In the eyes of the couple, Lu Zheng was a good-for-nothing who not only lacked ability but also relied on women to climb the social ladder.

It has to be said that their ideas are quite similar to Jiang Lier's.

They just wouldn't accept it.

Seeing that the old man had said such harsh words, Mingxiang's father decided not to tolerate it any longer and to fight back.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, you think Lu Zheng is amazing, right? But I don't think so. I think he's just a good-for-nothing who only knows how to climb the social ladder by relying on women!"

"Since we've come this far, I'll be frank. Without our Xiao Xiang, would Lu Zheng be where he is today?"

"He's just a spineless coward who only knows how to rely on women."

Lu Zheng is sitting right here.

He called him a piece of trash to his face.

That's absolutely outrageous.

Mingxiang and Lu Zheng were mentally prepared, so their expressions didn't change much, but the old man was quite angry with them.

He slammed his hand on the table and said, "Shut up! Lu Zheng is a good-for-nothing? What about you and your wife? Did you make any correct decisions? What were you doing when Xiao Xiang wanted to drop out of school?"

“You forced her to study and even severed your father-daughter relationship with her because of the attitude of the villagers.”

"Why did Xiaoxiang drop out of school? It wasn't because she wasn't studious, but because she saw a business opportunity that would never come again. I ask you, husband and wife, did you see it?"

The two men were still unconvinced when the old man asked them that question.

Mingxiang's father said, "If she doesn't go to school, she will never be educated, and my husband and I will never be able to hold our heads up in the village."

"Oh? So now you've raised your heads? Without Mingxiang's decision back then, you'd still be eating pickled vegetables and steamed buns. You want delicacies? You want to hire a nanny, live in this big villa, and go for walks whenever you want? Ha! Are you saying you don't work the land from dawn till dusk?"

The old man's scolding left the couple speechless.

They're the only ones who're incompetent.

They are just parroting what others say.

The villagers are better off than their family!

A single sentence from a villager can make them feel angry or happy.

These people are their heaven, their blessing!

But they can completely ignore the needs of their own family members.

Is that really the case?

But the couple always had an excuse.

They always felt they hadn't done anything wrong.

Even at this moment, even though they were speechless, they were still indignant, feeling that the other party was doing this for their daughter.

It was for her happiness, but she didn't understand the couple's good intentions.

Furthermore, they really didn't know how Lu Zheng had brainwashed the old man to the point that the old man would help him to this extent!

How despicable! Utterly despicable! Hmph! We'll talk about it after the old man leaves.
