Chapter 50: Chapter 50 The Xiao Family’s Fury

Just as Qin Nian didn’t know how to respond without offending either sister-in-law, Song Yan Wan’er smiled.

She stepped forward enthusiastically, taking Xiao Mengyi’s hand and said, "That’s great! If Xiao Meimei could stay here, Nian Nian and I would have company. Nian Nian definitely wouldn’t refuse, right?"

As she spoke, she winked at Qin Nian, who couldn’t help but smile wryly. From what Song Yan said, did it mean she would also be living here in the future?

Qin Nian felt touched, understanding that Song Yan was trying to help her out of the awkward situation. She quickly replied with a smile, "Sister Yi, you and Sister Yan staying here will make me happier than anything else! How could I refuse? Sister Yi, welcome!"

Xiao Mengyi was somewhat surprised; she hadn’t expected Song Yan to be the one to insist she stay. Although this was Qin Chuan’s house, Xiao Mengyi understood that the villa was definitely a gift from the Song Family.

But she also gathered some information from Song Yan’s words—that Song Yan would be living here in the future as well.

"The villa is spacious, and there are many rooms. Xiao Meimei, let me take you around to choose which room you’d like to stay in?"

Song Yan said warmly, acting every bit the hostess.

Xiao Mengyi clearly understood Song Yan’s intentions and didn’t point them out, simply smiling and saying, "Then I have to thank Sister Yan!"

Watching the two women holding hands searching for a room, Qin Chuan was immediately dumbfounded.

Seeing Qin Chuan’s befuddled expression, Qin Nian couldn’t help but giggle and cheekily said, "Brother, you really are blessed with good fortune! With two such outstanding sister-in-laws, which one do you like more?"

Qin Chuan glared at Qin Nian and said annoyedly, "You little rascal, don’t talk nonsense. It would be bad if they heard you."

Qin Nian straightened up proudly and said, "I’m not little at all, as you very well know."

"Cough, cough!"

Qin Chuan’s face turned red, and after glaring at Qin Nian, he turned and went back to his own room.

Leaving Qin Nian alone, laughing merrily.

Meanwhile, a shocking piece of news spread throughout the province, as various major media platforms began to report it simultaneously.

"The woman set to marry the heir of the Chen Family, one of the city’s wealthy clans, has been exposed for having an affair with another man."

Once the news was out, it spread rapidly throughout the entire province.

The Chen Family was a top-tier affluent family in the province, and Chen Kun was the Chen Family Heir. The prospect of the two families’ union had already been a hot topic recently.

Given these circumstances, the revelation of Xiao Mengyi’s affair with another man was bound to cause a sensation.

In Jiangcheng City, at the Xiao Family residence.

"Bang!"

The Elder of the Xiao Family slammed his hand on the table and, looking at the two people kneeling on the ground, demanded angrily, "What the hell is going on?"

Xiao Qing, Xiao Mengyi’s mother, said with a tense face, "Dad, I will go to Jiangcheng City tomorrow to bring Xiao Mengyi back personally, I assure you it won’t affect the engagement three days from now."

Luo Jun, Xiao Mengyi’s father, was already trembling with fear. Knelt alongside Xiao Qing in front of Elder Xiao, he didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

As they were speaking, Elder Xiao’s phone rang, and he hastily answered, only to hear a roar from the other end.

The Elder Xiao quickly said, "Chen’s Steward, I can assure you that the rumor of my granddaughter being involved with another man is absolutely not true."

"Please convey to Patriarch Chen that I will definitely explain this matter to the Chen Family..."

Elder Xiao offered apologies and assurances, speaking in a low and humble tone for quite a while before the call was finally over.

After another outburst of venting, Elder Xiao said in a cold voice, "If tomorrow that wench hasn’t returned, your entire family can get out of the Xiao Family!"

Xiao Qing and Luo Jun both trembled, hastily stating, "Dad, rest assured, we will definitely bring that wench back home!"

"Get out!"

Not long after the couple had left, the Long Family Steward returned as well.

The Long Family Steward said with a face full of regret, "Family Head, I’m sorry, I wasn’t able to bring the young miss back home!"

Elder Xiao, of course, knew about this matter, and with furrowed brows, he asked, "Didn’t I say, if she’s unwilling, to forcibly bring her back?"

With a face showing guilt, the Long Family Steward lowered his head and said, "Family Head, there’s a young man by the young miss’s side, named Qin Chuan. His strength is extremely formidable, and I’m no match for him at all; he even crippled one of my arms."

"Hm?"

It was only then that Elder Xiao noticed that one of the Long Family Steward’s arms was dangling limply, clearly broken.

"You are a master of Dark Energy Middle Stage, could it be that the boy is stronger than you?"

Elder Xiao’s face showed shock, before he subsequently shook his head, "That’s impossible, how could a young man be stronger than you?"

The Long Family Steward, with a grave expression, said in a deep voice, "Family Head, Qin Chuan is truly very strong. With just one move, he crippled one of my arms. If it weren’t for the young miss begging for mercy, he would have killed me."

"Not only that, I also paid ten million to hire the top expert from the Jiangcheng City Black Dragon Commerce Guild to kill him, but still, he was not killed."

Elder Xiao was even more shocked, "I remember the top expert of the Jiangcheng City Black Dragon Commerce Guild is named Hua Xiong; he has the strength of Dark Energy Late Stage. So even he was not a match for that young man?"

The Long Family Steward hastily said, "That’s not the case, when he was preparing to strike to kill Qin Chuan, he was stopped by Jiangcheng City’s wealthiest man, Song Qingshan."

Elder Xiao puzzledly said, "Hm? This boy has a connection with the Song Family as well?"

The Long Family Steward nodded, "I have already investigated; Song Qingshan has a very high opinion of this boy, and even intends to betroth his granddaughter to him."

Elder Xiao’s brows furrowed even more tightly, "Hua Xiong has the strength of Dark Energy Late Stage, and he was going to kill Qin Chuan but was stopped by Song Qingshan. Does that mean that Song Qingshan’s strength is greater than Hua Xiong’s?"

"Could it be that his injuries have already healed, and that his strength is at least at the peak of Dark Energy?"

The Long Family Steward shook his head, "That, I do not know, but what is certain is that Song Qingshan values Qin Chuan highly; otherwise, he would not have confronted the Black Dragon Commerce Guild over this young man."

Elder Xiao no longer spoke, but his face, covered in wrinkles, was filled with seriousness.

If Qin Chuan had no backing, it would be nothing; the Xiao Family could easily bring Xiao Mengyi back, even if none in the Xiao Family could match Qin Chuan, they could still pay to hire experts to deal with him.

But if the Song Family got involved, then it would be a big problem.

Although the Song Family is just the wealthiest family in Jiangcheng City, Song Qingshan’s prowess is formidable, and if it had not been for his sudden paralysis, the Song Family might have already become one of the top tycoon families in the provincial city.

Now that Song Qingshan’s strength has recovered, the Xiao Family truly is no match.

Elder Xiao muttered to himself in contemplation, "Could it be that I really need to ask the Chen Family to intervene and settle this trouble?"

But once the Chen Family intervenes, it would confirm the fact that Xiao Mengyi was involved with another man, and if the Chen Family called off the marriage, the Xiao Family would be finished.

After pondering for a long time, he muttered to himself, "Let’s wait and see how Xiao Qing handles it first; if it can’t be settled, perhaps we’ll have to ask the Chen Family to intervene."
