Lou Zhaonian’s words successfully halted Xing Chen’s steps.
Standing there with his tall figure, with an imposing aura radiating from his solitary presence, it was an aura potent enough to destroy the heavens and the earth!
No one can threaten him.
"If you dare, the Lou Family will no longer have a place in A City."
A light remark, spoken without raising his voice, yet filled with an oppressive ferocity!
He, Xing Chen, has always been one to do what he says!
The insignificant Lou Family, if it weren’t for the mories of the past, how could he let this stubborn old man, Lou Zhaonian, suppress him?
If this matter reached the Southern Federation, who knew how his father would rebuke him.
The previously aggressive Lou Zhaonian never expected that Xing Chen wasn’t afraid at all, and for a mont, he felt truly panicked.
Failing to threaten him and instead provoking this deity could bring absolutely no benefit to the Lou Family!
With this in mind, Lou Zhaonian softened his tone slightly and revealed his true intention.
"In the end, it can only lead to mutual destruction. But Chen’er, you have called Grandpa Lou for so many years, how could I treat you like this? How about this, as long as you agree to marry our Xinyu, we will privately destroy the evidence of Ran Xiangsi’s cris, how about it?"
Truly a cunning old fox, seamlessly combining firmness and gentleness!
However, Xing Chen only sneered, "That so-called evidence, do you think it matters to ? Don’t forget, Xiahou Chunyi is soon to take the presidency."
By then, let alone an insignificant Lou Family, there would be no one in all of A City who would dare to slight Xing Chen in the slightest.
The union of families can exponentially increase power.
This is also why Xiahou Chunyi is marrying Zhong Zhen.
Strong allies joining forces only grow stronger.
While these weak ones banding together end up rely as a group of weaklings...
With these words, Xing Chen once again took a step forward.
After a few steps, he glanced back at Lou Xining, who had been sitting silently on one side.
The once righteous and passionate brother had now beco so gloomy and timid.
With his jawline tightened, Xing Chen finally spoke.
"The so-called filial piety is not about aiding and abetting evil."
Xing Chen’s somber voice suddenly brought Lou Xining to his senses.
He looked up dazedly, towards the front, only to catch a glimpse of Xing Chen’s departing figure.
At this mont, he no longer had the spring breeze ease he used to have, reduced to a broken puppet with his soul extracted.
On one side, his biological grandfather; on the other, his dear brother.
He wanted to help both, but helping either was wrong.
Lou Xining’s hand, hanging by his leg, quietly tightened into a fist, and he clenched his teeth...
Lou Zhaonian, seeing his brilliant sche fail, beca angrier and berated Lou Xining, who hadn’t said a word.
"What’s the point of you being here? At crucial monts, you are of no help at all!"
Lou Xining didn’t care about his grandfather’s scolding and only said, "Grandfather, this thod won’t work. Can’t we just live our lives well? Why must you provoke Xing Chen to fury?"
"Is life good now? You’ve been a carefree young master for a few years, but have you ever cared about the Lou Family in the slightest? Our Lou Family is now a hollow shell, and without Xing Chen’s support, we can only decline further! As a descendant of the Lou Family, are you really willing to just wait idly?"
"..." After such a reprimand, Lou Xining found himself unable to say a word.
