The old clan chief's face was extremely grim.
Old Master Ming's attitude was already telling him that he had made a choice.
But he won't give up so easily.
But since Mingxiang and Lu Zheng came together, it's just right.
They can face off directly and let Old Master Ming see what kind of person Lu Zheng really is.
As long as Grandpa Ming opposes Lu Zheng, Ming Xiang, no matter how unwilling she is, will do as Grandpa Ming asks, even if it means ending her own life.
As for whether Mingxiang will really die by then, does it matter to him, the old clan leader? It doesn't matter.
By this time, the old man had already reached the door and opened it.
"grandfather!"
As soon as Mingxiang saw the old man, she excitedly rushed into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"Haha, my dear granddaughter, it's been quite a long time since you've come to see your grandpa."
"Hehe, I'm not busy..." Mingxiang pouted, "Grandpa, look, your good granddaughter has a boyfriend, look... Lu Zheng!"
Lu Zheng looked at the kind-faced old man in front of him and felt a good impression at first sight.
Just by looking at the old man's face, you can tell he's no ordinary person.
So Lu Zheng said to the old man with great respect, "Grandpa, hello."
"Hehe, good, good, all good, tsk...look at how good-looking he is, so handsome."
Unlike Lu Zheng's parents and the others in Mingjia Village, the old man looked at Lu Zheng with no disdain in his eyes, but rather with a hint of appreciation.
"You're quite something, kid, to have managed to win over my granddaughter!"
The person who understands Mingxiang best is this old man.
He knew from a very young age that his granddaughter was completely different from her mediocre parents.
A truly capable person can see through many things at a glance.
So the old man has always doted on his eldest granddaughter since she was a child.
Lu Zheng quickly smiled and said, "Grandpa, you flatter me."
"No, no, do you think I was joking, old man?"
He pretended to be serious.
"Grandpa!" Mingxiang pouted in a coquettish manner.
"Haha, alright, alright, come inside. We have some other guests today."
With that, Old Master Ming took the lead and walked into the house.
As soon as Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang entered, the old patriarch stood up abruptly.
The hut wasn't very big to begin with, so anyone who spoke could be heard clearly.
The old man was talking to Lu Zheng and the others, and the old clan chief naturally heard it too.
After Lu Zheng and his group came in, the three of them naturally looked quite grim.
Old Master Ming pretended not to see it and said with a smile, "Oh! Pig's head meat, come, come, it would be a waste not to eat such good pig's head meat. Everyone sit down and have a cup of strong liquor!"
"Wait!" The old patriarch waved his hand. "No, Third Brother, since they're here, let's skip the food and drink and get down to business."
Mingxiang's grandfather was a shrewd and experienced man; how could he not have noticed that the group was on the verge of conflict?
But he wasn't in a hurry at all.
He simply tapped the table lightly and said, "Sit down and eat while you speak. This old man is hungry. Surely you, the old clan chief, won't even give me this much face?"
The old patriarch's originally cold and stern expression changed instantly after hearing what Mingxiang's grandfather said.
His lips twitched involuntarily.
Although he looked displeased, he still sat down.
"That's right."
The old man sat down with a smile: "Mingxiang, has your knife skill improved? You know what kind of meat Grandpa likes to eat, right?"
Mingxiang chuckled: "I know, I know, I'll go cut it."
Since the house itself is not large, there was naturally no intention to send Mingxiang away.
Furthermore, this old man Ming is open and honest, and speaks and acts decisively. There is no need for him to be two-faced.
"Lu Zheng, sit down!"
The old man reached out and grabbed Lu Zheng's hand, gesturing for him to sit down.
Then, he waved to the three old clan leaders, signaling them to sit down.
After sitting down, the old patriarch let out a cold snort.
This was also a signal to Mingxiang's grandfather, so that the old man would ask him what he was snorting about first.
Elder Ming naturally understood his thoughts, and since this topic was unavoidable today, he simply stood up, chuckled, and poured himself a cup of strong liquor: "Let's speak frankly about what we have to say. Don't keep it to yourself, Elder Clan Chief, please speak."
The old patriarch narrowed his eyes and immediately turned his gaze to Lu Zheng, saying, "Third brother, not to be rude, but this guy surnamed Lu is not worthy of being with Ming Xiang."
Lu Zheng did not rush to defend himself.
Old Ming chuckled and took a sip of wine. He didn't rush to ask Lu Zheng either, but instead looked at the old clan chief and said, "Tell me what you think, this old man will also like to hear it."
The old clan chief then stepped forward and said, "First of all, how awesome is Mingxiang in the whole village? He's a legendary figure in our city. But what about Lu Zheng? After graduation, he worked for someone else without taking a penny, and as a result, he was abandoned."
“His sister even died because of this. How can such a weak person be with our Mingxiang?”
As he said this, his two sons chimed in with their own comments.
“Yes, Third Grandfather, look at him. He’s just an ordinary person who’s poor and destitute. How can someone like that be worthy of being with Xiao Xiang? He’s clearly a gigolo.”
"If it weren't for the Ming family's help, would he even be able to start a company?"
"Third Grandfather, you are incredibly capable and have keen insight. You can tell what kind of person this is at a glance. Also, he brought all these things with him on his first visit to you. Tsk?"
The old clan chief's two sons were afraid of missing the opportunity to slander Lu Zheng.
While they were talking about Lu Zheng, Old Master Ming was actually glancing at Lu Zheng out of the corner of his eye.
He wanted to see how Lu Zheng would react when he heard these three people criticizing and humiliating him in front of him.
Although his granddaughter is an extraordinary person, girls are sometimes limited by their feelings when judging people.
As his grandfather, he still needs to be the one to oversee things.
Faced with the three men's slander, Lu Zheng's face remained calm and composed, as if he already knew what they would say and was not in a hurry to blush.
Such composure is something that ordinary people cannot possess.
When Grandpa Ming saw Lu Zheng like this, he was very satisfied.
Okay, okay!
My granddaughter certainly has excellent taste; she found a good match!
The old man never cared about money or status.
The fact that Lu Zheng is like this shows that he is no ordinary person; with a little guidance, he will soar like a dragon.
To be honest, it can only mean that the old clan chiefs of Mingjia Village lacked foresight.
hehe……
He already knew what to do.
The two boys, oblivious to his thoughts, continued their incessant chatter.
