Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Better persuade your father, or you won’t have one anymore

After unlocking the phone, Lu Xiao opened the call log.

"Since you said you received the command from the Family Head, which phone call was it?" Lu Xiao asked again.

Miao Lifeng didn’t dare to waste words this time and immediately pointed to a number.

He was genuinely afraid Lu Xiao would hit him again.

The feeling of suffocation and his heart being crushed as if it would burst was something he didn’t want to experience a second time.

Lu Xiao thought for two seconds, then dialed the number.

About ten seconds later, the call connected.

"Have the betrothal gifts been delivered? Has the divorce agreement been signed?"

"Wait at home tomorrow morning, someone will come to collect it," a man’s voice came from the other end of the line.

Lu Xiao’s lips curled up slightly, "Alright."

After getting a reply, the other party hung up the phone.

"You see, that solves the problem."

"You, you’re completely insane," Miao Lifeng said with a hint of terror in his eyes.

Of course, he knew what Lu Xiao was planning to do. A representative from the main house would come to collect the divorce agreement tomorrow morning; Lu Xiao was planning to coerce them.

"The crazy ones are your Miao Family, snatching someone else’s wife, what a joke!" Lu Xiao spat.

Miao Lifeng didn’t speak again; after all, what Lu Xiao said wasn’t wrong.

Qin Youling and Lu Xiao were officially registered and married. Now that the main house wanted to marry Qin Youling, it really was a case of coercion.

"Let’s go, to your place," Lu Xiao said, grabbing hold of Miao Lifeng.

Miao Lifeng didn’t resist, because resistance was futile.

His own strength was no match for Lu Xiao.

"Lu Xiao, please take care of Youling," Qin Tai stepped forward at this moment and bowed slightly to Lu Xiao.

Now, only Lu Xiao could save Youling.

"If you had confessed earlier, it wouldn’t have come to this," Lu Xiao snorted.

The old man definitely found out some things about the Miao Family when he investigated Miao Yu back in the day. Even the death of Youling’s parents was very likely related to the Miao Family.

Qin Tai sighed and did not speak again, just bowed his hands once more to Lu Xiao.

"Let’s go," Lu Xiao didn’t bother to argue further with Qin Tai and, pushing Miao Lifeng, left the Qin Family Old Mansion.

...

Around two in the morning, the plane arrived in Shengjing.

At three in the morning, they reached Miao Lifeng’s house.

"Your branch is really not up to par," Lu Xiao couldn’t help but comment as soon as he entered.

It was a two-entrance courtyard; passing through the front yard led to the backyard.

Looking at the Qin Family, although not powerful, their mansion was genuinely big.

Walking from east to west, if one dawdled, it could take an hour to cover the entire area.

"This is Shengjing, land is worth its weight in gold!" Miao Lifeng retorted.

Having such a large courtyard was already good enough. If you were to sell it, it wouldn’t go for less than a billion.

Besides, most of the money earned by the branch had to be turned over to the main house.

Moreover, does having a big mansion mean anything? The Qin Family mansion is so large, but against the Miao Family, they are nothing.

"By the way, who’s the head of this branch? Your dad?" Lu Xiao casually sat down on a stone stool in the courtyard.

"Yes."

"Hmm, then you’d better persuade your dad later. If you can’t, you might not have a father anymore," Lu Xiao said with a smile.

Before Miao Lifeng could react, all the lights in the estate suddenly turned on.

A dozen guards rushed from all directions, surrounding Lu Xiao and Miao Lifeng in the middle.

Immediately after, a middle-aged man approached at a leisurely pace.

"Dad!" Miao Lifeng couldn’t help but shout.

"Who is this person?" Miao Chong asked coldly. Bringing strangers back carelessly, had he forgotten the Miao clan rules?

"He... He’s Qin Youling’s... husband."

What?

Miao Chong was stunned for two seconds before becoming enraged.

"You fool!"

"The main house sent you to the Qin Family to carry out the betrothal, to solve Qin Youling’s marriage issue... Why would you bring her husband back here!"

"Is your brain damaged?!"

Miao Lifeng glanced at Lu Xiao and then back to Miao Chong. Dad, you might want to tone it down.

You think I wanted to bring him here? I was forced!

If I hadn’t shown him the way, you’d be without a son now.

"Dad, I’ll explain it to you slowly, but maybe you should tell the guards to stand down first," Miao Lifeng urged.

He was truly afraid Lu Xiao would start fighting without a second thought.

A dozen guards might seem like a lot, but they still may not be enough to handle Lu Xiao.

"Fine, I am interested to see how you’ll explain this to me," Miao Chong huffed in anger, then pointed at Lu Xiao, "First, throw this man out."

Hearing his own father’s words, Miao Lifeng’s heart nearly leaped out of his throat.
