"Qixiong, you really misunderstood me." Xu Xiangzhi shed tears, looking like she was wronged.
"Xu Xiangzhi, let me tell you, I can tolerate other things, but if you do anything to Shen Ning, I will send you to hell. Get out of here, and don't let me see you again, you disgusting woman." The anger in Zhu Qixiong's eyes burned fiercely, as if to burn Xu Xiangzhi.
Xu Xiangzhi was terrified and frightened.
"Hurry up and send the young master to the guest room to rest. I'll go find his father." She said this and turned and ran away.
Zhu Qixiong was sent to the guest room, but this time, the ropes on his body were not loosened and he was still tied up.
Next, Zhu Dongjin came in person to persuade Zhu Qixiong to follow their arrangements and attend the engagement ceremony tomorrow. Zhu Qixiong scolded him so badly that he almost died of anger.
Later, some relatives came to persuade him, but they were all scolded back by Zhu Qinan.
This time, Zhu Qixiong was determined to fight them to the end.
Xu Xiangzhi was very upset and had no idea what to do with Zhu Qixiong.
In the evening, Wu Xueying came.
"Auntie, I came to see Qixiong." She said frankly after seeing Xu Xiangzhi.
Before this, she had been feeling uneasy. The newspapers were all reporting that Zhu Qixiong was missing. Thinking that their engagement ceremony was tomorrow, she didn't want to make a fool of herself in public. If the groom disappeared, she, a woman, would become a laughing stock in the entire upper class of the imperial capital if she held an engagement ceremony.
When Xu Xiangzhi saw her, she felt confident and immediately took her hand and said affectionately, "Qixiong just came back and has fallen asleep."
After saying that, he took her hand and walked towards Zhu Qixiong's guest room, saying as he walked: "He has been working outside for a while and fell asleep because he was tired. He is afraid that it will affect the engagement ceremony tomorrow, so he is conserving his energy."
As he spoke, he pulled her into a spacious and bright guest room and pointed through the window to where Zhu Qixiong was sleeping.
Zhu Qixiong was covered with an air-conditioning quilt, his face facing outside.
When Wu Xueying took a look, it was indeed Zhu Qixiong. He was sleeping soundly. She felt relieved and a girlish blush flashed across her face.
It seems that those newspapers outside are just making groundless accusations and cannot be trusted.
Her heart was suddenly filled with joy, and all her previous doubts were dispelled.
"Xiaoying, I just discussed with Qixiong's father and plan to hold your wedding on August 15th next year after your engagement. You are the eldest daughter of the Wu family, so this wedding cannot be sloppy. But you should have heard about the current situation of our Zhu family. We are indeed in a difficult situation and cannot come up with much money. I want to ask you, after the engagement ceremony tomorrow, will you bring your return gift money?" Xu Xiangzhi asked tentatively while holding Wu Xueying's hand affectionately.
Wu Xueying's family is a famous gambling king in the capital. They have plenty of money, so why would they care about such a small amount of money? Besides, she loves Zhu Qixiong.
"Aunt, I know the current situation of the Zhu family. I have also discussed it with my father. He said that the Zhu family is in financial difficulty now and cannot let you spend too much money, but you still have to be decent. Therefore, he plans to give us 100 million as a return gift, which can be regarded as holding a decent wedding for us." Wu Xueying immediately replied with a smile.
Xu Xiangzhi's eyes suddenly lit up. Oh my God, one hundred million! That's so rich!
"Thank you so much, my in-laws. Xiaoying, you are really the lucky star of our Zhu family." Xu Xiangzhi expressed her gratitude repeatedly with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
Originally, when she saw Zhu Qixiong's attitude towards her today, she almost gave up. Zhu Qixiong was now like a lion that was not to be trifled with. If she wasn't careful, he would bite her all over. She was very worried that the 40 million would expose all her past, causing trouble for her and her son.
But after hearing Wu Xueying's words, she made up her mind to get the money before leaving.
