"And all these years, I can't have any resentment, I can't have any hatred, I have to put on a smiling face and endure the ridicule and humiliation of all my clansmen to accept this honor?" Liu Qingmei laughed, but her laughter was very desolate.
"This is what family is? Dad, my mom turned against my maternal grandfather for my sake."
"And how did you treat her? How did she grab your hand as she was dying, begging you to treat me well? Have you forgotten all of that?"
Liu Zhong looked grim; he didn't even dare to look his own daughter in the eye.
Because he felt guilty, but a person like him would never admit to feeling guilty.
"Stop talking! You've already angered Third Master by breaking the Blackwater Stone. Go and apologize to Grandfather right now, and we'll discuss sending you to Black Stone Ridge to get married ahead of schedule," Liu Zhong shouted.
"Second Uncle, you should have done this a long time ago." Liu Chenggong said gloatingly, "A girl changes a lot as she grows up, and her heart changes too. She listened to you when she was young, but she may not listen to you when she grows up."
"And I saw him with a man yesterday."
"What did you say? Kid, don't talk nonsense, or I'll tear your mouth apart." Liu Zhong was shocked and looked angrily at Liu Chenggong.
"Don't spread rumors. Don't just jump to conclusions based on hearsay." Liu Zhenhe's expression hardened. These things couldn't be said carelessly.
Who doesn't know that Liu Sanqing is inherently jealous? The main purpose of him giving the Black Water Stone to Liu Qingmei was to monitor her.
If she were to engage in any overly intimate behavior with a man, Liu Sanqing would immediately know that if he were to lose his temper, it would be something the current Liu clan could not afford to deal with.
“Grandpa, Second Uncle, how could I dare to talk about such a big matter? If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed that my cousin would dare to mess around with a man.” Liu Chenggong sneered and said, “Grandpa also knows about this matter. If you don’t believe me, we can go and ask Grandpa.”
Liu Zhenhe looked bewildered, then glared angrily at Liu Qingmei: "Is what your cousin said true?"
"Of course it's true, and the second thing I want to announce today is these things," Liu Qingmei said. "I already have someone in my heart, and I will be with him."
"Are you crazy? Do you want to make Master Liu angry?"
"Quickly forget about your unrealistic ideas. Do you want to ruin the entire Liu family?"
"Liu Qingmei, you're going to kill us..."
The Liu family was shocked. None of them expected that Liu Qingmei would admit to this so easily. Didn't she know that this matter was extremely important and that she could lose her head if she wasn't careful?
"I already said I dissolved my engagement with Liu Sanqing. I'm not the only woman in the Liu family," Liu Qingmei sneered. "Since you're so envious, since you like this honor so much, why don't you find someone to replace me?"
The group fell silent. No one wanted to push their daughter into a fire pit, especially since Liu Sanqing only recognized Liu Qingmei.
"Nonsense! You come with me right now to see the patriarch and explain this matter clearly." Liu Zhenhe said angrily, "Who is that man? Tell me, and I will send all the forces of the Liu family to capture him, rip out his heart and liver to offer as a sacrifice to Third Master Liu, in order to appease Third Master Liu's anger."
"Otherwise, our entire Liu family will suffer as a result."
"No need to go to so much trouble, am I not coming?" With a lazy voice, a figure slowly appeared at the gate of the Liu family.
Ye Xingchen arrived, walking slowly and steadily into the center of the field and standing next to Liu Qingmei.
"Who are you?" Liu Zhenhe asked, barely suppressing his anger.
"Ye Xingchen, oh, he might become your Liu family's son-in-law in the future. Don't be nervous, everyone, we're all on the same side." Ye Xingchen waved his hand and said with a relaxed expression.
Everyone in the Liu family wore a hint of anger on their faces. This bastard in front of them was simply too shameless.
Who is he? How could he so shamelessly become the son-in-law of the Liu family? And what's more, he's set his sights on Liu Qingmei? This is a woman who can influence the future of the Liu family! How could he be so shameless?
"Grandpa, it's this kid, it's him! I saw Liu Qingmei with my own eyes!" Liu Chenggong shouted, pointing at Ye Xingchen.
Not only did Ye Xingchen ruin his plans, but she also instigated Liu Qingmei to teach him a lesson.
If it weren't for him, Liu Qingmei might not have been so bold.
"Qingmei, are you serious?" Liu Zhong was furious. He looked up at Ye Xingchen and said, "You're the one who seduced my daughter?"
"What do you mean by seduction? Oh, you're Qingmei's father?" Ye Xingchen immediately adopted a respectful expression: "Then I might have to call you Father-in-law in the future."
"Who's your father-in-law? Shut up!" Liu Zhong was furious. He pointed at Ye Xingchen and said, "You dare to seduce my daughter? I'll make you wish you were dead!"
"Don't be like that, we're all family." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "I'm here today for no other reason than to keep Qingmei company and clarify some things."
"Has everything been explained? Today is a family dinner, and I don't want to spoil everyone's enjoyment." "Then let's leave it at that. I'll come to visit another day."
"Boy, do you think you can just come and go as you please at the Liu family's residence?" Liu Zhenhe laughed angrily. With a wave of his hand, the vermilion gate of the Liu family compound slammed shut.
Immediately, dozens of people stepped forward and surrounded Ye Xingchen, all of them with unfriendly expressions.
The Liu family is a taboo subject in the entire city of Jiyang, and some people are even unwilling to mention it.
Now that the Liu family has been harassed and their home has been vandalized, if they just let Ye Xingchen leave, how will the Liu family face anyone in Jiyang City in the future?
"Grandpa Liu, are you thinking of resorting to violence?" Ye Xingchen turned to look at Liu Zhenhe and smiled slightly. "Really, today is your family banquet. I don't want to cause trouble with your Liu family. How about this, let me go and you can have a good meal. After all, there won't be many more opportunities for the family to get together like this in the future."
“Arrogant…” Liu Zhenhe was furious. He pointed at Ye Xingchen and said, “Boy, you dare to interfere in the affairs of our Liu family? You’ve got guts. Today I’ll let you know that the Liu family isn’t a place you can come and go as you please. Men, take him down.”
"Yes." Several members of the Liu family immediately attacked Ye Xingchen, as they also wanted to show off in front of their elders.
Half of the Liu family members were ordinary people, but those with exceptional talent cultivated demonic arts. One of them grabbed at the people around Ye Xingchen with his right hand, and a cloud of black energy rose up.
