"The Third, what's wrong, are you thinking about revenge?" Second Master Chen's voice rang out quietly from the side.
Chen the Third raised his eyebrows, snarling, "Brother, this guy humiliated in front of everyone. That grudge, you can bet I'm going to settle it."
"Humiliated you in front of everyone? Seems to you were just trying to steal the guy's woman," Second Master Chen sneered, calling out the truth.
Chen the Third didn't bother denying it. He nodded and laughed wickedly: "Bro, that little girl from the Qiu Family, she's way too pretty. I really like her."
"So, I've already decided. I'm definitely going to take her as my woman."
Second Master Chen nodded, saying, "That Qiu Qianyu is indeed a beauty capable of bringing down empires. Not just you—hell, even I'm a little tempted."
"But that Jiang Chuan doesn't seem simple. Forget his skills, just Zhao Tianda's respectful attitude toward him tells you not to underestimate the guy."
Chen the Third didn't care, saying, "Bro, no matter how good his skills are, they don't an shit in front of a gun!"
"Worst case, I'll hire a couple of shooters. Take him out without anyone knowing, easy as hell."
"As for why Zhao Tianda is so respectful to him, yeah, that needs so proper investigating."
"Yeah, definitely need to investigate!"
"I just have a feeling this guy could beco our enemy."
"So, we need to find out exactly what he's about!"
Second Master Chen kept a straight face, pretending to chat casually, then quietly instructed Chen the Third.
"Alright, bro, leave it to !" Chen the Third patted his chest and nodded.
The Qiu Family's ancestral ceremony lasted a full seven hours.
Seven hours later, the ceremony finally ended.
This ancestral ceremony was practically unprecedented. So many big shots showed up, and everyone's face in the Qiu Family was glowing with pride.
They even felt the Qiu Family's status had risen by a whole notch, almost becoming a first-tier family locally.
Jiang Chuan and Qiu Qianyu received the warst gratitude from the three Qiu Family elders.
Even after the ceremony ended, the three elders wouldn't let Qiu Qianyu and Jiang Chuan leave, insisting they stay for tea.
This scene made everyone in the Qiu Family both envious and jealous.
Especially Chang Lan and Qiu Deming's family—their eyes turned red watching it all.
They clustered together, cursing bitterly with jealousy.
But what could they do? Jiang Chuan and Qiu Qianyu were in the spotlight today.
"Look at the ss you made!"
Zhao Ling angrily slapped Qiu Deming, who clutched his face, helpless.
He hadn't expected things to turn out like this.
By rights, he'd prepared very thoroughly today. He'd invited three major figures.
The plan was to use these big shots to score points for himself and his son—the start went well.
But who could've guessed the other side invited even bigger nas and instantly overshadowed his three guests?
"Mom, you gotta co up with a plan,"
Zhao Ling tugged at Old Mrs. Chang Lan's sleeve, urging her desperately.
Old Mrs. Chang Lan's face was dark as she snorted, "He knows Mr. Zhao, what do you expect to do?"
"Damn it, Jiang Chuan—just so country bumpkin—knows soone as important as Mr. Zhao! Must be dumb luck!" Qian Ling said resentfully, refusing to accept it.
Even Old Mrs. Chang Lan was out of options now.
No matter how disgruntled they felt, what could they do? Who's crazy enough to offend Mr. Zhao?
"Let's talk about this later. Even if Qiu Qianyu has the three Qiu Family elders' favor, becoming the next heir isn't just sothing you can decide so easily. Plus, I'm not dead yet, am I?"
Old Mrs. Chang Lan snorted and turned away.
She was in a terrible mood today.
Qiu Deming's family left, too, full of resentnt.
They'd been utterly humiliated—not only that, they actually had to bow down to Jiang Chuan, that country bumpkin.
Jiang Chuan and Qiu Qianyu repeatedly excused themselves, and only then did the three Qiu Family elders let them go.
The three elders even personally arranged for a car to send them ho.
That sort of treatnt was unheard of in the Qiu Family.
The car carrying Jiang Chuan and Qiu Qianyu slowly disappeared, heading toward Yanbei.
anwhile, Chen the Third's n were on the phone with him.
