Chapter 176: Chapter 176: A Heavy Price

As the other’s voice trailed off, a very fashionably dressed old woman walked in first.

The old woman introduced herself as Murong Meifang, and from what she had said just now, her identity could be inferred: she was Wei Xiang’s mother.

Murong Meifang appeared to be just over sixty years old, but Wei Xiang had just claimed to be forty-five, which made it hard to believe that the two were mother and son.

"Mom, you finally came!"

Upon seeing Murong Meifang arrive, Wei Xiang immediately brightened up, pointed at Qin Chuan, and said, "It’s this kid, who not only hit me but also insulted the Murong Family with his words."

"Right, didn’t you say Miss Murong was with you just now?"

Murong Meifang responded, "Miss Murong has already arrived, she’s just outside taking a phone call and will come in shortly."

Wei Xiang was instantly overjoyed, his face full of excitement as he said, "That’s great, I have admired Miss Murong for a long time, and today I finally have the chance to see her true face."

Knowing that Mingyue was just outside, Huang Jin and Su Wu turned extremely pale.

Although they had chosen Qin Chuan, they were clear about how high Mingyue’s status was within the Murong Family.

It could be said that Mingyue was the leading figure of her generation in the Murong Family, a real heiress from a top-notch noble family of Yandu.

Su Nanzhi’s face was also deathly pale, filled with regret. Had she known of Wei Xiang’s connection, she would not have dragged Qin Chuan into this no matter how humiliated she felt.

Yang Liu, who had been terrified and even wet herself from fright due to Qin Chuan earlier, now wore a proud expression on her face.

She hurried forward, bowed respectfully to Murong Meifang, and said, "Hello, I am Wei Xiang’s girlfriend, Yang Liu."

"Girlfriend?"

Murong Meifang subtly furrowed her brow, sized up Yang Liu from head to toe, then turned to Wei Xiang and said, "Your taste has really deteriorated, taking up with such a plastic surgery face, can you really be satisfied with that?"

Wei Xiang touched his nose somewhat awkwardly and said, "It’s just for fun."

Hearing the words of the mother and daughter, Yang Liu’s face turned extremely ugly, she bit her red lips tightly, tears swirling in her eyes.

In front of Murong Meifang, she didn’t dare to even breathe heavily, let alone get angry.

Suddenly, Murong Meifang put a hand over her nose, her face full of aversion as she said, "Hmm? Why is there a stench of urine?"

Yang Liu’s face immediately flushed red, burning hot, and she involuntarily retreated several steps, fearing that Murong Meifang would notice something amiss.

Wei Xiang quickly changed the subject, looking fiercely at Qin Chuan as he said, "Kid, weren’t you acting all arrogant just now? My mom is here, so why don’t you continue with your arrogance?"

Qin Chuan chuckled coldly, "I stick to my words, it’s not just you, a waste with half the Murong Family blood, but even if it were the entire Murong Family, what can they do to me?"

Huang Jin and Su Wu’s faces changed dramatically, it was one thing for Qin Chuan to say such things when the people of the Murong Family were not present, but now that Murong Meifang was here, he still dared to say this, wasn’t this like stirring up a hornet’s nest?

Indeed, Murong Meifang said with a chilly face, "Young man, I can give you the benefit of the doubt because you are young and unaware of the Murong Family’s reputation, and offer you a chance to take back that statement."

Qin Chuan sneered, "Can spit that’s been spat out be taken back?"

"You’re courting death!"

Murong Meifang instantly flew into a rage, waved her hand grandly, and commanded, "First, cripple this kid’s limbs!"

At her command, more than a dozen Murong Family martial artists charged toward Qin Chuan.

Wei Xiang’s eyes were filled with mockery as he grated, "Dare to touch me, that’s the price!"

Huang Jin and Su Wu were completely stunned, the martial aura that the martial artists had erupted with in an instant made them feel as cold as ice, leaving them afraid to move an inch.

On the other hand, Su Nanzhi immediately stood in front of Qin Chuan and addressing Murong Meifang said, "As one of Yandu’s top noble families, is the Murong Family truly going to attack without distinguishing right from wrong? That’s going too far!"

No one expected that under these circumstances, a seemingly weak woman would dare to stand in front of Qin Chuan, facing off against the Murong Family’s people.

The several martial artists also subconsciously stopped in their tracks and looked toward Murong Meifang.

Murong Meifang’s eyebrows raised, she said with a face full of pride, "What? You want to stand up for this kid?"

Her gaze was full of coldness, and that single look placed immense pressure on Su Nanzhi.

Suppressing the fear in her heart, Su Nanzhi mustered her courage and said, "The incident just now was a misunderstanding, nothing but that woman using your son to stir up trouble, everyone here saw it."

"The reason my friend took action was because your son was foolish enough to be someone else’s pawn, provoking us of his own accord."

Yang Liu’s face changed dramatically, Murong Meifang clearly looked down on her, and if the latter found out it was her who had used Wei Xiang, she surely wouldn’t let her off the hook.

In desperation, she yelled, "You’re talking nonsense! It was clearly you, this whore, who provoked first, and my husband was hit by your boyfriend just trying to protect me."

Su Nanzhi sneered, "Your husband? If I heard correctly, just now this lady did not acknowledge your status."

Yang Liu exploded in rage, "What did you say, you bitch?"

Su Nanzhi said mockingly, "Did I say anything wrong?"

"You, you, you..."

Yang Liu trembled with anger but was unable to retort.

Murong Meifang frowned and shot Wei Xiang a fierce glare, then looked coldly at Su Nanzhi and said, "You’re quite sharp-tongued, little girl. Do I, Murong Meifang, need to have a reason to act against someone?"

Su Nanzhi retorted, "I’ve heard that the people of Nine Gates of Yandu always persuade with reason. If you really abandon reason and insist on bullying others by force, wouldn’t you tarnish the good reputation of the Murong Family?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was shocked!

No one had expected this delicate and unbelievably beautiful woman to dare speak to a member of the Murong Family in such a manner.

A terrible chill flickered in Murong Meifang’s eyes. This was a public place, and her overbearing behavior was indeed improper.

Su Nanzhi’s words left her no way to step down gracefully.

Yet if she were to leave just like that, how would the grievance of her son being hit by Qin Chuan be settled?

Huang Jin and Su Wu exchanged a look before stepping forward.

Huang Jin said, "Madam Murong, good day. Today’s matter was just a misunderstanding, I hope you can forgive the minor transgressions."

Su Wu also looked at Su Nanzhi and scolded, "It’s all the trouble you caused, aren’t you going to apologize to Madam Murong?"

Su Nanzhi’s eyes were red, and she bit her lip tightly, her face a mixture of grievance and defiance, showing no intention of apologizing.

Huang Jin then looked at Qin Chuan and said, "Mr. Qin, how about you apologize to Madam Murong as well?"

"No way!"

Wei Xiang immediately said, "If this kid only hit me, an apology might be acceptable, but he insulted the Murong Family, so he must pay a severe price today!"

His eyes were filled with ferocity, even murderous intent!

What was his status, after all? To be beaten by a nobody, if word got out, how could he still have the face to run the Premium Auction House?

"A severe price must be paid!"

Just then, an icy voice suddenly echoed from the entrance of the restaurant.

All eyes turned, only to see an incredibly beautiful figure stride in, with an elder following behind her.

Seeing the newcomer, a smile immediately spread across Murong Meifang’s face, "Miss Murong, you’re right, this kid must pay a severe price!"
