Qiu Qianyu, consud with anger, let out a laugh. This aunt had no sense of reason. Clearly, it was the cousin who was bullying with his power, yet she sided with him completely. Was there no reason left in her judgnt?
So Qiu Qianyu couldn't help but retort, "Aunt, cousin's status is indeed noble. However, we also have our dignity, so please, respect us!"
Qiu Ying sneered, "What dignity do you have? One's a pauper, the other's a country bumpkin. Your pairing truly is a match made in heaven!"
"Enough with the nonsense. You've defied your cousin, and that's wrong! Now kneel down quickly and apologize to your cousin!"
"Yes, you and Jiang Chuan both need to kneel down and apologize to your cousin!"
"Right! Kneel down! You even need to kowtow! Without a sincere apology, we won't let them get up!"
The Qiu Family, filled with righteous indignation, all shouted for Qiu Qianyu and Jiang Chuan to kneel down.
Qiu Qianyu bit her lip tightly, her tears welling up in her eyes.
But she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
Qiu Qianyu was filled with grievance, but she was a stubborn girl and couldn't stomach being insulted this way.
So, Qiu Qianyu looked towards Old Mrs. Chang Lan for help. After all, Chang Lan was her grandmother.
"Grandma, Xiaoyu begs you to judge right from wrong in this matter. Who should apologize to whom?"
"Cough, cough!"
Old Mrs. Chang Lan coughed a few tis, and the entire Qiu Family fell silent.
After all, Old Mrs. Chang Lan held significant authority in the Qiu Family, especially among the younger generation, who imdiately quieted down.
Chang Lan walked over with the help of her cane, with Qiushi supporting her by the side.
Old Mrs. Chang Lan, with a stern gaze, scrutinized everyone before finally fixing her eyes on Qiu Qianyu and Jiang Chuan.
Qiu Qianyu looked at her pleadingly, her eyes full of grievance, while Jiang Chuan remained calm and collected.
"Let say a few words!"
Old Mrs. Chang Lan spoke, and the surroundings beca even quieter.
"Shirong, as a mber of my Qiu Family, holds the status of cousin. He has co from afar and is a distinguished guest of my family. So, no matter how you put it, you as the younger generation must respect him!"
"Therefore, even if he scolds that country bumpkin a few tis, what of it? It's only proper."
"Even if it's making him kneel, that too is normal. And Xiaoyu, how did you and Jiang Chuan treat your cousin? By contradicting him and responding with sarcasm? Xiaoyu, where is your sense of hierarchal propriety? Where are your manners? You've deeply disappointed !"
Every word Old Mrs. Chang Lan spoke sided with Li Shirong, each one rebuking Qiu Qianyu and Jiang Chuan's mistakes.
After hearing her words, Qiu Qianyu couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and they helplessly stread down her cheeks.
Seeing Qiu Qianyu's tears, Jiang Chuan felt a pang of heartache and a surge of anger.
No matter how much grievance he suffered, Jiang Chuan didn't mind.
Because he harbored a vast and expansive heart, he wouldn't argue with the Qiu Family.
However, if the Qiu Family were to bully Qiu Qianyu, Jiang Chuan would absolutely refuse to agree!
So Jiang Chuan suddenly stood up, clenching his fists tightly!
Seeing Jiang Chuan like this, Qiushi was so frightened he quickly fled to a distant spot, his face pale.
He had been utterly terrified by Jiang Chuan and no longer dared to confront him head-on at all.
But, of course, the rest of the Qiu Family wouldn't react the sa way.
"Jiang Chuan, what do you think you're doing? Are you planning a rebellion?"
"Exactly! This is the Qiu Family, are you intending to hit soone?"
"That's right! What right do you have to run wild in the Qiu Family? Believe us, one call and you could be hauled off to the police station!"
The Qiu Family all shouted in anger, eager to fan the flas.
Jiang Chuan coldly watched this farce unfold, his gaze growing increasingly icy.
Liu Shirong, however, deliberately jumped in front of Jiang Chuan, looking down on him with a sneer, provoking him, "What, country bumpkin? You want to hit ? Fine, hit ! I'd like to see if you have the guts!"
Jiang Chuan's expression turned grim and formidable, his fists clenched so tightly they hurt.
But just then, a warm little hand firmly grasped Jiang Chuan's wrist, like a stream of clear water soothing the flas of his fury.
"Jiang Chuan, let it go, don't bother with them."
Qiu Qianyu, tears in her eyes, looked at Jiang Chuan almost pleadingly, shaking her head repeatedly.
