What is there to refuse at this celebration? Our master, Riri, is quite busy and has finally managed to spare some time to talk with the young lady. I’ve already wasted quite a bit of time persuading her, so she should hurry and come with me.
Just a moment, let me change into something more appropriate. This casual outfit is too disrespectful for meeting our master.
The big man was already growing impatient. After all, we are family now; there’s no need for such formalities. Our master is always kind to the younger generation, and the young lady’s politeness seems a bit excessive. Besides, there are no outsiders in the front courtyard. Our master has a lot on his plate, and changing clothes will only waste more of his time.
Sang Qingxiao was curious about what Qi Hao intended to do and, unafraid of trouble, agreed to go along.
However, Zhang Jingxue stepped forward once again to block her path. It was a family celebration; as the matriarch, I should at least go take a look.
“Madam, He Chuan has already gone ahead.”
What do you mean by that! I am Lady Qi! I’m not her biological mother!
Ah! This big man really has some nerve! He doesn’t give any face at all!
Zhang Jingxue wasn’t actually angry about this matter; she just chose to stand up for Sang Qingxiao. She sensed that Qi Hao’s actions were somewhat suspicious and knew that Sang Qingxiao didn’t really need her protection. Yet she still chose to step forward because in their line of work, attitude was important.
She expressed her dissatisfaction firmly once more.
This earned her a scoff from the big man. “If you want to follow along, then go ahead, but don’t regret it later.”
Sang Qingxiao felt a shiver from Zhang Jingxue gripping her arm beside her, but she maintained a resolute gaze without showing an ounce of fear. She comfortingly patted Zhang Jingxiao's hand and whispered, “It’s just a day earlier; the sooner we play, the sooner we’re free.”
After saying this, she glanced at the inconspicuous wildflower by her feet before following the big man into the front courtyard.
The guards in the front courtyard were even more formidable. It seemed that Qi Hao was not only ambitious but also fearful for his life; he had many bodyguards surrounding him, indicating he came from a deep-rooted background.
Additionally, Sang Qingxiao sensed several others present who were likely allies of Qi Hao. A quick glance revealed their faces were not very pleasant; they must be cut from the same cloth as Qi Hao. They were not young either; with graying hair, they were at least Spirit Master Realm practitioners. Were they specifically hired to deal with her?
As soon as Sang Qingxiao appeared in their line of sight, their gazes locked onto her—filled with suspicion, disdain, and contempt. Was it because of her age that they looked down on her?
That’s fine; I enjoy facing arrogant opponents.
Sang Qingxiao flashed them a polite smile, but as expected, received no friendly response in return. She was led into Qi Hao's office, where Qi Xiao Kun was also present. He was bent over his desk writing, and upon seeing his mother enter, he frowned and shook his head at her, signaling her to leave.
Zhang Jingxue pretended not to see and, feeling a surge of boldness, spoke up first. "Qi Hao, what do you mean by this? I am the Madam of the Qi Mansion! Am I not even qualified to hear about my children's marriage arrangements?"
Qi Hao glanced at the burly man beside him, then casually picked up a cup and smashed it over the man's head, causing blood to splatter everywhere. "He must have offended the Madam, right? Look, I've avenged you."
Zhang Jingxue felt a lump in her throat, caught between anger and confusion.
Qi Hao patted the seat next to him. "Since you're here, why don't you sit down with us?"
