Chapter 292 Chris Obtains the Patriarchal Badge
The old patriarch was furious. He pointed at Chris with trembling hands and said, "Let me tell you, marrying Iman is your destiny. If you want Bai Yuxin to leave M country alive, you'd better behave yourself."
Chris looked at the old chieftain with a 'you're so pathetic' look: "What else can you do besides threaten me with this?"
"If you're not afraid of falling out with Lu Jingxiao, then go ahead. I don't care."
With Lu Jingxiao protecting Bai Yuxin, the old man dared not make any rash moves.
However, he couldn't get away so easily, nor could he find his Yuxin.
Upon hearing this, the old clan chief's vision went black and he fainted.
Chris took two steps back, afraid that he was trying to scam him. He looked at Paul the butler with an indifferent expression and said, "Aren't you going to take your old man to the hospital?"
Paul then realized what was happening and immediately called for help to take the old patriarch back to his room, and summoned his private doctor.
He had just stepped out of the room when he ran into Iman, and his expression instantly turned sour.
When Iman saw Chris, her eyes lit up with joy. She moved closer, but looked down at Chris with a condescending gaze.
Although Iman was not tall enough, the joy in his eyes was well hidden, replaced by arrogance.
Chris had no desire to have any contact with her and was about to walk past her when Iman called out to him, "Chris, are you not even willing to talk to me anymore?"
"Don't forget, it was your family who begged me to marry into this family. What kind of attitude are you now? Aren't you afraid I'll complain to the old man?"
Iman was furious. When had she, the eldest daughter of a prestigious family, ever been treated like this?
She was pampered and spoiled in her family, and no one had ever dared to treat her like that.
Chris didn't care at all, and casually pointed: "Go find him, he just fainted, you can take care of him."
His mouth was like it was coated with poison, sarcastic and merciless: "If you serve me well, you won't have to marry me, and I can call you Grandma."
Iman was so angry she almost vomited blood. She never expected Chris to say such cold words.
"You... Chris, I'm your fiancée! How could you say such a thing? Aren't you afraid of breaking ties with the Iman family?!"
Chris looked completely indifferent; he didn't care at all. He didn't even glance at Iman before walking away.
The old man fainting was a big deal, and the entire Chris family was present.
According to Paul's butler, everyone pointed the finger at Chris.
"Chris, how could you do this? The chieftain is your grandfather. Why did you make him faint? If anything happens to him, can you take responsibility?"
[As the young master, what you've done this time has gone far too far and must be dealt with seriously!]
"You actually made your grandfather sick over a woman, Chris! You're really going backwards! Tell me that woman's name, I won't let her get away with this!"
Chris sat in the middle, listening to everyone's accusations against him, his face expressionless, not at all like someone who genuinely wanted to repent.
[Chris, we're talking to you, didn't you hear us?!]
Chris looked up casually: "Of course I heard you. What's the problem?"
"The old man's mental fortitude is too weak. You should really train him properly. If he faints again next time, I really won't care about anything."
The Chris family has strict rules, even stricter than those in feudal China. To the elders, this was considered extremely disrespectful.
However, out of respect for Chris's status as the young master, they didn't say anything too harsh, fearing that Chris would hold them accountable.
"How could you say such a thing? The old man is your own grandfather, and the head of the Chris family. How can you abandon him like this? Don't you have any conscience?"
conscience?
It was this so-called conscience that almost made him lose Bai Yuxin. How could he possibly let the Chris family off so easily!
"If you think it's inappropriate, then you can do it. I don't care. I've never liked this so-called young master status. You're forcing it on me. Did you even ask for my opinion?"
Chris stood up and went straight upstairs, ignoring what they were saying.
Downstairs, everyone gradually quieted down under the reassurance of Paul the butler and Iman.
**
Chris didn't go anywhere else, but went straight to the old man's room.
Chris felt nothing as he watched the old man lying motionless on the bed.
Grandpa, you've been controlling me too much, I can't take it anymore.
I can only get things done if you lie here.
Chris rummaged through the room, trying to get his hands on the clan leader's badge. Only with that could he destroy the clan.
He searched for a long time but couldn't find what he wanted until he came across a vase, which opened the mechanism.
Is there another room behind the study?
Chris walked straight in and found a lot of things inside, which should all be information about everyone in Chris's huge family.
The most conspicuous place was the family patriarch's badge; he... got it.
Having achieved his goal, Chris didn't linger. However, as he left, he took all the information about the Chris family.
Leaving these things here will only cause trouble.
It absolutely cannot exist.
He got his hands on the badge, but keeping it on his person was definitely not safe, and... the badge was too easy to spot.
He returned to his room and immediately dialed Lu Jingxiao's number. Little did he know that everything he did, including what he was holding, was being watched by someone in the corner.
——
Lu Jingxiao was puzzled when he received Chris's call, but... considering that he was the father of Bai Yuxin's unborn child, he answered the call.
"What's up?"
Why should I help you?
"Okay, I understand. I'll come and get it myself. If... it's not something important, I'll finish you off myself."
Lu Jingxiao hung up the phone, his face showing some impatience.
Luo Zhiwei asked softly, "Chris called, did he say what he wanted to say?"
"He asked me to go over and help hide something, saying it was to solve the most crucial thing for his family."
To be honest, he hesitated.
The best course of action right now is to have no contact with Chris at all, but that guy is being shameless, saying that there's no one in the entire country of the US who can be trusted.
These people are very likely to turn against the old patriarch of the Chris family in the end, so he is the only one who can be trusted at the moment.
"Why don't you go and see what it is? We came here to help Chris solve his problem, right? Now that he needs your help, let's do it."
Lu Jingxiao nodded: "I'll go in a bit."
"Where are you going?" Bai Yuxin suddenly got down, and after realizing what was happening, she immediately said, "Brother, are you going to find Chris? Can...can you take me with you?"
"No." The refusal was very decisive.
Bai Yuxin's tears fell instantly: "Brother, I promise I won't cause any trouble. I just want to see him and make some things clear!"
Wasn't it clear enough at the engagement party?
"I...."
Seeing the tension between the brother and sister, Luo Zhiwei immediately advised, "Yuxin, your brother went to get something; he doesn't have time to meet and chat. Your most important task right now is to take care of your pregnancy..."
