Were we being used?
Madam Xiao nodded, "That's a possibility."
Quan Fenglai felt a sudden, inexplicable panic; her intuition told her that there was something more to his words.
If Qin Yiheng's cousin hadn't gotten into trouble, he wouldn't have come to the Xiao family, much less made fun of them. But what could it be?
At this moment, the Xiao family's butler entered the living room.
"Young Master is back! The eldest son of the Gu family is here too!"
Upon hearing this, Quan Fenglai was first delighted, then shocked. Gu Yilou had come too? Could this matter be related to him as well?
Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow and smiled when he saw Gu Yilou walk in: "You've come!"
Gu Yilou glanced at him and then greeted Madam Xiao, "Madam Xiao, I apologize for disturbing you."
He then sat down next to Qin Yiheng and asked, "When did you arrive?"
Qin Yiheng glanced at the time: "About half an hour. How did you bring him back?"
Gu Yilou shook his head: "We bumped into each other at the entrance."
At this moment, Xiao Jingming sat next to Old Madam Xiao, coldly looking at Qin and Gu: "You two are really bold, daring to cause trouble in my Xiao family with only one person?"
Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow: "What kind of talk is that? Is your Xiao family a den of dragons and tigers?"
Xiao Jingming snorted coldly: "Since you're here, it saves me the trouble of making an extra trip. Gu Yunzhen crippled my brother's leg. If my brother's leg can be healed, we can still talk. But if it can't be healed, the Xiao family and the Gu family will be irreconcilable enemies from now on!"
In the past, Xiao Jingming would have given the Qin and Gu families some face, but next month, others will have to act according to his wishes, and he won't need to give face to anyone!
His brother's leg was broken, but he had to make his stance clear!
If [Alluring Perfume] weren't only going to be available next month, he would have detained Gu Yilou and Qin Yiheng right now, and the Qin and Gu families would have to give him an explanation!
Quan Fenglai's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Jingming, what did you just say?"
Xiao Jingming told her with a heavy heart, "Zhongming's legs were crippled by the fourth son of the Gu family."
For a moment, Quan Fenglai glared at Gu Yilou with eyes full of resentment.
"My dear grandson!"
Overwhelmed with anger, Madam Xiao fainted on the sofa.
"mom!"
Quan Fenglai shouted.
Xiao Jingming looked at the butler and instructed, "Call the family doctor over immediately!"
"Yes, young master." The butler turned and left hurriedly.
Xiao Jingming suddenly stood up, his sharp gaze fixed on Qin and Gu: "Are you satisfied now? My brother is the old lady's lifeblood. Gu Yunzhen broke my brother's leg. If anything happens to my old lady, I, Xiao Jingming, will fight the Gu family to the death!"
Gu Yilou frowned deeply.
Before he could speak, Qin Yiheng clapped his hands and said, "You're quite something, Xiao Jingming. Who are you trying to scare? Your brother's legs are legs, but my cousin's husband's legs aren't?"
"Alright then, your Xiao family should enact a law stating that anyone encountering a member of your family must automatically give way, otherwise, death or injury will be disregarded. If your Xiao family commits murder or arson, and anyone else retaliates, there's only one word: death!"
His flippant tone was full of sarcasm and disdain.
Gu Yilou glanced at him and said calmly, "None of us wanted Madam Xiao's condition to happen, but Xiao Zhongming was the one who hired someone to kill her first. My fourth sister-in-law is still lying in the hospital, her life hanging in the balance. Before you ask Yun Zhen to give you an explanation, shouldn't you give my fourth sister-in-law an explanation as well?"
Quan Fenglai roared angrily, "You're making baseless accusations!"
Xiao Jingming pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and sneered, "Her fate is unknown? But as far as I know, Qin San has been in the hospital and hasn't come out. Moreover, none of your elders have gone to see her. If she dies, wouldn't she not even be able to see her family one last time?"
Gu Yilou's face darkened: "Xiao Jingming!"
"Don't be angry, it's not worth getting angry over such a petty person."
Qin Yiheng patted his shoulder, stood up, a wicked smile playing on his lips, and walked step by step toward Xiao Jingming.
"What do you want to do?" Quan Fenglai saw his sinister gaze and immediately stood in front of her eldest son, glaring at him and saying, "If you dare to touch a single hair on my son's head, I'll never let your Qin family off the hook!"
"You're so old, why are you still hiding behind your mom?"
Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow: "But it's not surprising, this is standard practice for the men of the Xiao family."
His words were utterly humiliating to the Xiao family men.
Xiao Jingming's face turned pale and then red, his heart burning with rage. He wished he could take a needle and thread and sew up Qin Yiheng's foul mouth, stitch by stitch!
But he can't do anything to Qin Yiheng right now.
However, he remembered this humiliation and vowed to repay it a hundredfold!
Seeing his frustrated expression, Qin Yiheng clicked his tongue and said quietly, "It seems you don't want to give my cousin an explanation. In that case, I'll just have to take it myself."
Quan Fenglai sensed something was wrong and questioned, "What do you mean?"
"Heh, you dare to hurt a member of the Qin family? Whatever the consequences, you'll have to bear them. I hope you'll still be laughing tomorrow!"
Qin Yiheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Yilou: "Do you want to come with me?"
Immediately, Gu Yilou stood up: "Let's go."
The two left side by side.
Xiao Jingming stared at their backs, feeling that they treated the Xiao family as a place where they could come and go as they pleased, which was extremely arrogant!
If the Xiao family were to reach the pinnacle, would they still dare to do it?
Quan Fenglai grabbed her eldest son's arm and asked, "Jingming, Zhongming's leg..."
Xiao Jingming snapped out of his daze and said heavily, "He's crippled. But don't worry, I will definitely find the best doctor to treat Zhongming's leg!"
