Ouyang Qian and Li Dan's faces lost color with fear, they sent imploring gazes towards Cheng Lingsu. This ti, they had indeed kicked the iron panel. They had humiliated her quite viciously and forced her to kneel, but in turn, incurred such a dangerous counterattack.
Though Cheng Lingsu was opinionated and pressed on regarding the matters she believed in, she was a good, young girl in the end. At most, she would give them a taste of their own dicine, but her husband, Jiang Xiu, was different. He was a rciless guy who had reached his current position through a bloodbath. If soone offends him, he crushed them to death like an ant.
Ouyang Qian's voice began to quiver, "S-Susu, I…"
Cheng Lingsu didn't want to hear her nonsense. She had already had enough of looking at her face. Moreover, she didn't have the ti to dally around here, "Give the invitation card, and I'll write off what happened today."
"I-I…"
Cheng Lingsu furrowed her brows, "Are you giving it to or not?"
Ouyang Qian gathered her courage and said with much difficulty, "I never had the invitation card. I duped you. Susu, I didn't do on purpose…"
"What?!"
Cheng Lingsu's pretty eyes grew wide open, "You don't have it?" Her anger had finally reached its peak. At this mont, she wished she could kill this person before her, just like how Jiang Xiu does. She felt that much hatred.
Watching Cheng Lingsu's bosom heave up and down violently as if it were a volcano on the brink of erupting, Ouyang Qian stated nervously, "Susu, forgive . I was only joking with you."
"Please don't tell this matter to Mr. Jiang."
Li Dan's face was ashen as well, cold sweat ford at her forehead as she spoke in agreent, "Yes. Susu, we've been good sisters for so many years. You won't complain to Mr. Jiang just because of this small matter, right?"
"Small matter?" Cheng Lingsu gave them a cold look, "It might be a small matter to you, but it's a huge matter to , sothing which will decide my entire life."
"Susu… D-Don't tell Mr. Jiang. He'll kill us."
Suddenly, contemptuous laughter ca through from the side.
Everyone looked over there and discovered a youth walk over towards them. The youth appeared around 20 years old and was comparatively calr than the others. "Qianqian, Little Dan, aren't you getting too scared by Jiang Luoxia's na? Did you forget that Jiangnan's heavens have already changed?"
"The party being held at the West Lake Manor today is to handle Jiang Luoxia."
"He might not even live till tomorrow."
Ouyang Qian and Li Dan's eyes shone. Yes. How co we forgot this? The reason they feared Jiang Xiu was because they had seen him push Wang Xuehai off the plane. It was too stimulating for them, sothing they would never forget during their entire life. That's why they felt afraid to the core whenever Jiang Xiu was ntioned.
"Li Ming. You're right. Jiang Luoxia is powerless to defend himself right now."
Li Ming continued, "Who knows why she wants the invitation card? Anyway, we can't fulfill her wish. Since she's Jiang Luoxia's wife, I think we should capture her, take her to the West Lake Manor, and give her to Crown Prince Ao to deal with. Jiang Luoxia hasn't dared to appear till now, but he'll definitely make a move if she were captured. This will be considered a great contribution and we might even…"
"Yeah!"
"Young Master Li is right."
The others nodded one after another in agreent, especially with regards to the final sentence. It was already definitive that Crown Prince Ao will take over Jiangnan and all the contributors would definitely be rewarded when that happens. This was a rare opportunity for them.
Many people grabbed the chance to beco wealthy so that they could live in leisure, and right now, such an opportunity laid before them.
Soone said, "Grab her and send her to Crown Prince Ao."
"Yeah, grab her!"
But soone said, "What's the use of capturing her? We can't even go inside, let alone hand her over to Crown Prince Ao."
Li Ming smiled proudly, "What's the difficulty in that? My Li family has several people inside. Just a call is enough to settle it." Li Ming was a mber of the Jiangnan's Li family. His family head was Li Muteng who was beside Crown Prince Ao and Li Chengfeng, one of the four young masters of Jiangnan, was his cousin.
Cheng Lingsu's face was already pale right now. She wanted to help Jiang Xiu but never expected she would instead end up as a burden.
On the contrary, Ouyang Qian and Li Dan beca very excited. They thought they were done for, but things took a new turn suddenly. Life was like a rollercoaster ride, full of ups and downs. The stimulation was too much at tis.
Since Cheng Lingsu had co here because of them, their contribution in this matter would be at the top.
Li ng called Li Muteng, "Uncle, a woman ca over to our place asking for an invitation card, saying she's Jiang Luoxia's wife. We've already confird her identity, she's indeed his wife, Cheng Lingsu."
"There's no mistake in it, right?" Li Muteng asked.
Li Ming said, "Yes."
Li Muteng muttered, "Keep an eye on her. I'll go consult Crown Prince Ao…" Saying so, he approached Jiang Ao's ears and quietly inford him of the matter.
Jiang Ao said, "Do you think my Jiang family needs to use a woman to handle a man?"
"I'll instruct them to release her then." Li Muteng replied.
Ji Yicong interjected at this mont, "Young Master Ao, it's naturally not worth it to embarrass a woman, but we can exploit her. Jiang Luoxia hasn't shown any activity for three days. I suspect he doesn't dare to fight with the Ancestor and is thus avoiding to deal with this issue. If it were an ordinary person, it wouldn't have mattered if the person pulled back, but Jiang Luoxia is different. He's a Demigod. He naturally won't dare to act arrogantly in front of my family's ancestor, but my ancestor is older than him, just in case my ancestor passes away, he would certainly bring down a calamity on both our families."
Jiang Ao's expression changed imdiately, "What are Uncle's intentions then?"
"I'm thinking of the long term. We can capture his wife and force him to appear then accept the challenge. My ancestor can kill him and completely settle this problem them. Once it's done, there's no need for us to worry about revenge in the future."
Jiang Ao said, "Hmph! He crippled my cousin, Jiang Hang. I won't let him off for this alone."
He called Li Muteng, "Bring that woman over."
Li Muteng felt that his Li family has racked up great rit this ti. Lady Luck was in his favor recently. He imdiately called his son, Li Chengfeng and went out together with him. Li Chengfeng was also one of the persons Jiang Xiu had slapped in the eting in Belden back then.
"Little Ming, bring her over."
The younger generation mbers over there all wanted to seize this opportunity to enter West Lake Manor but were all stopped outside. Ouyang Qian and Li Dan argued vehently that he must take them along too as Cheng Lingsu had co here because of them. They couldn't allow the Li family to hog up all the contribution. Finally, Li Ming decided to take these two won along as he wasn't able to talk his way out of it.
After being taken into the West Lake Manor, Cheng Lingsu was brought before Jiang Ao. He glanced at her. Cheng Lingsu's features seed to have received the grace of nature, her style unmatched in her generation. She was a beauty who could bring down a nation. Though he had seen several beauties, Cheng Lingsu was absolutely one of the first-class won. He praised in his heart that Jiang Luoxia indeed knew how to choose a woman.
"You're Jiang Luoxia's wife?"
Before Cheng Lingsu could answer, Ouyang Qian and Li Dan had already started blabbering, "Crown Prince Ao, she's indeed Jiang Luoxia's wife. We even saw the marriage certificate. Also, Jiang Luoxia studied at the sa high school as her."
Jiang Ao's cold gaze swept across them as he said in an emotionless tone, "Did I ask you?"
Ouyang Qian and Li Dan were frightened and hurried to close their mouths.
"What if I am?" Cheng Lingsu countered.
Cheng Lingsu's mood wasn't as calm as she showed on the surface right now. Her heard had sunk to the bottom of the sea and full of remorse. She felt that she shouldn't have gone to Ouyang Qian and Li Dan to ask for the invitation card. She couldn't prove herself nor be of any help and instead beca a burden who holds back Jiang Xiu.
"You have guts!" Jiang Ao said, "It's a pity you choose the wrong man. Jiang Luoxia made an enemy out of my Imperial Capital's Jiang family and even crippled my cousin. My Jiang family definitely won't let this go."
He took out a cell phone, placed it on the table then pushed it towards Cheng Lingsu, "Call Jiang Luoxia and tell him to co here."
Cheng Lingsu remained silent.
"Are you unwilling to do it? You want to protect him? That's fine then. However, such news will show up on tomorrow's newspaper - 'The Corpse of Jiang Luoxia's Wife Found Floating on West Lake.'"
Cheng Lingsu's face turned pale, "His number won't connect."
The entrance beca restless all of a sudden, "Mr. Jiang…"
"Jiang Luoxia has arrived!"
