"Your Chu family has truly broadened my horizons! The daughter of the prestigious Chu family, openly having an affair with a lover in broad daylight, and in a place like the office! I had no idea that the Chu family's offices were used for such things!"
Luo Yao sat on the sofa in the Chu family villa, furious and spitting as he spoke.
Chu Xiao, the current head of the Chu family and Chu Ruoxue's father, stood to the side with a gloomy expression, but still explained, "I'm afraid there's some misunderstanding involved."
"Misunderstand?"
Luo Yao became even angrier upon hearing this. He pointed to his men behind him, the only two who could still get up, but they were also wrapped in bandages and were staggering.
"Look what that brat did to my men! Patriarch Chu just dismissed it as a misunderstanding. No wonder Miss Chu did such a thing."
From the moment Luo Yao entered, he kept criticizing Chu Ruoxue and belittling the entire Chu family. Chu Xiao was already impatient, but since Luo Yao was a member of the Luo family, he dared not offend him, nor could he simply kick him out.
"Patriarch Chu, Miss Chu's affair with her lover has angered the Luo family. That lover is even more arrogant, attacking people and looking down on my Luo Yao. If this isn't explained..."
Luo Yao deliberately drew out his words to keep everyone in suspense, then snorted coldly: "The Chu family does indeed wield considerable power in Yuzhou. I wonder if they can withstand the wrath of the Luo family!"
Bah! A mere collateral branch, expecting the real Luo family to stand up for you?
Chu Xiao dared not say this. Of course, the Luo family would not make trouble for Luo Yao, but Chu Ruoxue's marriage had been mentioned years ago. If the Luo family used accusations such as "Chu Ruoxue is unchaste" or "the Chu family does not respect the Luo family," the Chu family would indeed be in a very difficult position.
Who dares to provoke the Luo family?
That would be absolutely because they think they're living too long.
"Young Master Luo, please calm down. I've already sent someone to inform Ruoxue. She'll be back soon and will definitely give you an explanation." Chu Xiao poured Luo Yao a cup of tea.
Luo Yao wasn't a tea drinker, but after talking so much, he got thirsty and picked up his cup, gulping down cup after cup.
Chu Xiao frowned as he looked at it.
If what Luo Yao said is true, this matter is indeed difficult to handle.
Just then, one of Luo Yao's men received a phone call, said a few words, and then whispered something to Luo Yao.
"What?" Luo Yao was shocked. Master Xiong was dead?
The subordinate nodded: "Internal strife."
"Useless!" Luo Yao cursed fiercely.
It's normal for internal strife to occur in a gang like the Black Tiger Gang. From Boss Xiong down to any of the underlings, it's hard for anyone to submit to anyone else. If there are benefits and women, then they'll listen to you and make some money. If not, then you can go wherever you want. Nobody treats you as their boss.
Finding loyalists in the Black Tiger Gang is like asking a blind man to find a needle.
Luo Yao had heard a lot about internal strife within the gang over the years, so he was no longer surprised.
"So who's in charge now?" Luo Yao thought for a moment and then asked.
"I've never heard of someone called 'Master Leopard.' Shall I go and find out about him?" the subordinate asked.
Luo Yao waved his hand, signaling him to be careful.
With Master Xiong dead, the Black Tiger Gang members probably won't be very obedient. They might even be too busy taking care of themselves, so they can't rely on them to deal with Qin Yiheng. We'll have to find someone else.
Thinking of this, Luo Yao became irritable and slammed the teacup down with a loud clatter.
Chu Xiao had no idea what Luo Yao and his subordinates had been talking about, but his intuition told him it wasn't a good thing. Could it be that they were already looking for someone to deal with the Chu family?
"Young Master Luo..."
"When will Chu Ruoxue return? Patriarch Chu, are you trying to stall for time? Do you know who I am? How dare you make me wait so long? What are you trying to do? What are your intentions!"
Chu Xiao was interrupted by Luo Yao as soon as he opened his mouth, and Luo Yao pressed him with questions until he forgot what he wanted to say.
When Chu Ruoxue returned, this was the scene she saw.
Luo Yao leaned forward, his face full of contempt, completely disregarding his father. Although his father was unwilling, he dared not say anything and could only remain in a stalemate.
"Luo Yao!" Chu Ruoxue stepped forward, cutting off their line of sight.
Seeing that the beauty had finally returned, Luo Yao felt somewhat better.
"Father, what's going on?" Chu Ruoxue ignored him and turned to ask Chu Xiao.
"Ruoxue, this, Young Master Luo..." Chu Xiao couldn't bring himself to say it. What father could say that his daughter was morally corrupt and seduced a lover?
Luo Yao, however, was completely shameless and immediately said, "Miss Chu, you're finally back! My uncle and I were just discussing your marriage with me, and I've come to propose today..."
"Shut up!" Chu Ruoxue's beautiful eyes widened. "Luo Yao, are you so desperate for the Luo family's favor that you've gone mad? Who said or acknowledged our marriage? Uncle, you probably didn't address me like that when I wasn't back. What gives you the right to call me Uncle?"
When Luo Yao faced the quick-witted Chu Ruoxue, his aura immediately plummeted.
He didn't even know how to answer, or rather, which question to ask first.
Luo Yao was also enraged, standing up and shouting, "Is your Chu family refusing to acknowledge this? You're openly breaking off the engagement!"
"What a joke! A useless person like you who can't even have sex comes to ask for a wife. No ordinary family would give their daughter up for marriage. Or is it that your Luo family has no one left?" Chu Ruoxue pressed on relentlessly.
After Luo Yao left the company, Chu Ruoxue asked Qin Yiheng about it and learned that Luo Yao's health had deteriorated to such a serious degree.
Chu Xiao was startled by what he heard and stood up as well, asking Chu Ruoxue earnestly, "Ruoxue, is what you're saying true?"
"Of course," Chu Ruoxue said firmly.
Chu Xiao finally realized that after Luo Yao arrived, he accused Qin Yiheng of being an adulterer and assaulting people. However, Qin Yiheng was the Chu family's renowned physician, and since the two of them had met, what he said must be true.
"Young Master Luo, no one wants to go back on the marriage, but my Chu family will never allow our daughter's happiness to be ruined," Chu Xiao said in a deep voice.
"Happiness" is also "happiness".
He's already as ravenous as a wolf, can't he still make Chu Ruoxue happy?
Luo Yao felt that everyone present was looking at him differently, and even the cook and nanny suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started pointing and laughing at him.
How could he possibly tolerate this!
"I'm telling you, three days, only three days." Luo Yao held up three fingers, the veins bulging. "If you, Chu Ruoxue, come and serve me well, I will forgive and forget. Otherwise, I will wipe out the Chu family! Not a single one will be left alive!"
After saying that, Luo Yao strode away.
Chu Ruoxue naturally didn't take him seriously, comforted her father, and then went back to her normal life.
But not long after, while Chu Ruoxue was processing documents in her office, her secretary rushed in in a panic.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong, Mr. President..."
