Although Chu Ji's words sounded very kind and gave Xie Mingjiang plenty of face, everyone present was not a fool and could hear the hidden threat in her words, completely forcing Xie Mingjiang to give an explanation.
Otherwise, Chu Ji would definitely not let this matter rest.
Xie Mingjiang was an old fox and naturally understood the aning behind Chu Ji's words, causing a barely noticeable shadow to flash across his eyes.
Under these watchful eyes, it was impossible for Xie Mingjiang to do nothing, and Chu Ji would not give up easily either.
Rather than having Chu Ji refuse to relent later, it would be better for him to handle it himself.
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Xie Mingjiang imdiately knew what he should do!
In the next mont, Xie Mingjiang took a deep breath and said, "Anyone who cos to Maple Leaf Villa is a friend of my Xie family, my guests!"
"I have always believed that no matter what grievances exist between us, on my territory, they must be put aside. Outside, you can even fight with knives if you like, but here, no one can cause trouble!"
"Otherwise, you're disrespecting , Xie Mingjiang, and for such people, don't bla for being rude!" Xie Mingjiang said forcefully, "Today, you were wrong first, so the hand that acted should be left behind!"
Xie Mingjiang, having risen to power through illicit ans, was known for his ruthlessness, and his deanor as a formidable figure in this mont was evident.
The man, upon hearing Xie Mingjiang say he would lose an arm, imdiately turned pale with fear, his legs going weak as he fell to the ground, pleading, "Mr. Xie, spare . It was Miss Xie who told to do this!"
"Otherwise, how could I dare behave like this at the Xie family banquet..."
The man's voice was rapid and filled with fear and unease.
Upon hearing this, Xie Mingjiang's expression changed dramatically, and others around him reacted similarly.
Miss Xie!
The only person who could be referred to as Miss Xie here was Xie Mingjiang's daughter, Xie Xuenan. Even if it wasn't Xie Mingjiang's daughter, it had to be soone from his Xie family!
"You concoct lies..."
"Uncle Xie, it seems things are not as simple as I thought!" Chu Ji suddenly interjected.
"Chu Ji..."
"Uncle Xie, I want to hear what he has to say!"
"Chu Ji, how can you trust his words? He's spouting nonsense, it's..."
"Uncle Xie, I have my own judgnt. As for you, are you trying to hide sothing by not letting him speak?" Chu Ji sneered, her own expression turning stern: "And this is your daughter Xie Xuenan's birthday party, her engagent party too!"
"Who here doesn't know that without soone backing this, who would dare act so recklessly at your Xie family banquet!"
At this mont, Chu Ji no longer called Xie Mingjiang Uncle Xie but directly addressed him by na!
In the distance, Ye Xunhuan witnessed this scene, the corners of his mouth slowly curving into a smile.
"Old brother Ye, it seems things are really complicated. Don't you want to intervene? That old fox has his tricks up his sleeves, right?"
"Brother Xu is a man of justice. I trust he will speak fairly!"
Xu Mingzhe chuckled softly, "You really understand , brother Ye!"
As his voice faded, Xu Mingzhe imdiately shouted, "Uncle Xie, I think Miss Chu has a point, why not let the other side explain, that way everyone will understand the situation!"
"Otherwise, if you deal with this person now, everyone will have doubts, and it won't be good for your Xie family's reputation either!"
Saying this, Xu Mingzhe stepped forward.
"And I also know Miss Wang," Xu Mingzhe added without a hint of pressure.
Xu Mingzhe's words made Xie Mingjiang's face even more grim. Even if Xie Mingjiang wanted to act at this mont, he didn't dare to make a move.
Then, Xie Mingjiang shot a cold glance at the man: "Words can't be said carelessly, otherwise…"
Just as Xie Mingjiang's words fell, Chu Ji said, "Tell us everything you know. If what you say is true, I guarantee you will leave here safely, and no one will be able to touch you!"
"If Jiangzhong doesn't work out, I'll find a place for you in the Southeast!"
At this mont, Chu Ji was blatantly taking an opposing stance against Xie Mingjiang.
Hearing Chu Ji's words, the man's expression wavered between fear and resolve.
Xie Mingjiang's implied threat had been very clear: if he told the truth, Xie Mingjiang would most likely ensure he'd have no place to rest in death.
Though Chu Ji's promise was tempting, she was still an outsider. In Jiangzhong, or even in Zhonghai, she couldn't compare to Xie Mingjiang!
As the man hesitated, a seductive voice ca from the doorway.
"Speak the truth, and I'll ensure your safety!"
Upon hearing this voice, everyone looked toward the entrance to see a woman in a red gown slowly walking in.
The tight evening gown perfectly highlighted her exquisite curves. Exposed under the light, her pale skin was dazzling, and the black stiletto heels made her legs, partially hidden by the dress, look long and sexy!
The woman's hair was styled in a fashionable and elegant way, and her pink lips were alluring. She moved or stood like a boneless tempting creature, making those around feel as if she was entwining them, causing adrenaline to spike!
In the Zhonghai area, there was only one woman with such charm, the widow queen—Dongfang Shu!
Indeed, it was Dongfang Shu. Although she didn't know the exact situation or what was happening, she vividly rembered everything the Xie family and the Dongfang family had manipulated in the past and wouldn't let them have it easy.
Therefore, she spoke up, speaking bluntly.
Upon seeing Dongfang Shu step in, Xu Mingzhe's lips quickly curved into a faint smile. Now, things were getting interesting, as Zhonghai Province's queen had arrived, and her first words were against the Xie family!
Xie Mingjiang's face turned rigid as he heard Dongfang Shu's words.
He could guarantee that Dongfang Shu was doing it on purpose, trying to make the Xie family look bad and embarrass Xie Mingjiang!
Dongfang Shu completely disregarded Xie Mingjiang's gaze and stepped forward.
"Speak, I'll protect you!" Dongfang Shu's voice was neither soft nor hard, "But you must tell the truth, or you won't see tomorrow's sunlight!"
