Jiang Chuan's heart trembled, he knew that Qiu Qianyu did not want him to clash with the Qiu Family.
After all, those were her family.
Jiang Chuan understood Qiu Qianyu's feelings, so he let out a long sigh, and slowly relaxed his clenched fists.
Forget it!
They're just a bunch of insignificant people, why should I, Jiang Chuan, bother with them?
I'm staying in the Qiu Family now just to protect Xiaoyu, to let her live happily.
Since Xiaoyu doesn't want to act, forcing myself to do so might vent my anger, but it would hurt Xiaoyu's feelings.
I, Jiang Chuan, cannot do that!
So, Jiang Chuan's clenched fists finally relaxed slowly, he forcibly restrained his violent aura, suppressing his impulsiveness.
A man's anger being doused for the sake of a woman is in itself praiseworthy.
However, Jiang Chuan's restraint was viewed by Liu Shirong as cowardice, so he boldly stepped forward and lightly slapped Jiang Chuan's face.
"What's wrong? Chickened out? Not daring to fight? You actually listen to a woman like that?"
Jiang Chuan looked at him coldly, if it weren't for Qiu Qianyu, this guy would have died ten thousand tis over.
"Liu Shirong, right? Let tell you, the only reason I, Jiang Chuan, am not hitting you is because you are family to Xiaoyu. For Xiaoyu's sake, I can let you go for now. But rember, I, Jiang Chuan, am not afraid of you!"
"Xiaoyu, we're leaving!"
With these words, Jiang Chuan took Qiu Qianyu and started to leave.
In a Qiu Family where right and wrong are indistinct and grudges are unclear, he no longer wanted to stay.
Qiu Qianyu also didn't want to stay any longer, she obediently let Jiang Chuan hold her hand, and was about to follow him out of the Qiu Family.
However, just as Jiang Chuan chose peace, soone refused to let him go.
"Hehe! Leaving just like that? So easily? Do you think, after offending , Liu Shirong, that's all there is to it?"
Liu Shirong was relentless, he sneered and unexpectedly blocked Jiang Chuan and Qiu Qianyu's path.
Jiang Chuan eyed him coldly, "Liu Shirong, what do you want?"
"What do I want?"
Liu Shirong chuckled sinisterly, saying with malice, "Jiang Chuan, you embarrassed in front of the Qiu Family, do you think you can just walk away without settling that score? Is it that easy in this world?"
"If you want to leave it's not hard. Here's the deal: kneel before , kowtow three tis, and call grandpa three tis, then I'll let you go, how about that?"
Liu Shirong looked at Jiang Chuan with a mocking expression, his tone full of malicious intent.
The young mbers of the Qiu Family erupted in a jeering uproar upon hearing this.
"Haha, that's a good idea, I like it!"
"Yeah! Let this country bumpkin kneel before his cousin and call him grandpa! That's perfect!"
"Yes! Make him call grandpa! Otherwise, don't let him go!"
The Qiu Family mbers were all agitated, eager to witness this spectacle.
Qiu Qianyu trembled with anger, she turned her head and furiously questioned Old Mrs. Chang Lan.
"Grandma, you're not going to say sothing? Is it really our fault?"
Old Mrs. Chang Lan's face showed so discomfort, she turned to look at Qiu Ying beside her, then coughed lightly and said, "Qiu Ying, it's about ti to stop Shirong. Kneeling is fine, but calling him grandpa, that's rather indecent."
Regarding matters of ethical kinship, Old Mrs. Chang Lan had to intervene.
If Jiang Chuan were to call Liu Shirong grandpa, wouldn't that ss up the Qiu Family's hierarchy?
So, she had to address this.
Liu Shirong, hearing this, also realized his demand was sowhat inappropriate.
He rolled his eyes, then said with a sly smile, "Earlier that condition was indeed thoughtless."
"How about this, I'll change the condition. Kneel before , kowtow three tis, then crawl under my legs, and I'll let you go, how about that?"
As soon as Liu Shirong proposed this, the Qiu Family erupted once more.
