After hanging up the phone, Lu Qingyan calmly put away her phone and glanced around: "Let's disperse. What's the matter with everyone gathered here?"
"No, no." Several people around him shook their heads repeatedly and sat back down in their seats.
Qiao Li approached Lu Qingyan and asked in her ear, "You knocked him unconscious, why did you call the emergency center? You were careful with your strength; he wouldn't have been hurt in front of so many people."
The warm breath sprayed on Lu Qingyan's ear, making her feel itchy and a little uncomfortable.
"I'm just worried that Qiao Hui might use this excuse to extort money from me. Besides, the emergency center has been busy taking her back, so she needs to be examined. Shouldn't the Qiao family pay for the examination? Although it's not a lot of money for them, I'm happy to squeeze a little out of them."
"Amy, thank you," Qiao Li said. Although Lu Qingyan didn't say anything, Qiao Li had a feeling that Lu Qingyan was standing up for him.
However, he remembered how petty and difficult that person was, and Qiao Li was somewhat worried that the Qiao family would use their methods against Lu Qingyan.
But before the Qiao family could even come knocking, the Erickson family did. Lu Qingyan was in class when she was called out over the loudspeaker, and Qiao Li, worried about her, followed her.
Lu Qingyan looked at the man and woman in front of her, who were only in their mid-twenties, and was surprised to find that they had aged so much: "What do you want from me?"
"Sir, you must do justice for our Erickson family!" Eileen's father said, his eyes filled with a thin layer of mist, making one want to feel sorry for him.
“The Erickson family, isn’t it managed by you as the patriarch? What can I do for you?” Lu Qingyan looked at the ambitious man in front of her, her tone indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger.
“My lord, no matter what, you are still a member of the Erickson family. You cannot disregard the honor of the entire family. The Osius family is going too far, completely disregarding your existence and robbing the Erickson family of many resources.”
"So you're saying this whole thing is the fault of the Osius family?"
“Of course. My lord, they know you exist, yet they dare to attack the Erickson family. Aren’t they deliberately trying to make trouble for you? The Erickson family is under your protection.” As he spoke, his voice grew softer and softer, clearly lacking confidence.
“Yes, I protect the Erickson family.” Lu Qingyan did not deny this fact. “But no one says I have to protect it. As the patriarch, you should know perfectly well what the Erickson family did to the Osius family. Now that we’re here, do I need to remind you?”
Lu Qingyan's words instantly stirred up painful memories in him. To be honest, he knew that what he did back then was wrong, but faced with the enormous temptation of profit, he still violated his principles.
"Sir, the Erickson family..."
"Shh," Lu Qingyan put her index finger to her lips and said with a smile, "Those who do wrong should be punished. I believe that if the ancestors of the Erickson family saw this scene, they would agree with my decision."
Eileen's parents felt a chill run down their spines. Eileen's mother advised, "Sir, you are the guardian of the Erickson family, not the Osius family. We don't need to sacrifice our own interests for the sake of the Osius family."
