Chapter 176: Chapter 176: A Heavy Price
As the other’s voice trailed off, a very fashionably dressed old woman walked in first.
The old woman introduced herself as Murong ifang, and from what she had said just now, her identity could be inferred: she was Wei Xiang’s mother.
Murong ifang appeared to be just over sixty years old, but Wei Xiang had just claid to be forty-five, which made it hard to believe that the two were mother and son.
"Mom, you finally ca!"
Upon seeing Murong ifang arrive, Wei Xiang imdiately brightened up, pointed at Qin Chuan, and said, "It’s this kid, who not only hit
but also insulted the Murong Family with his words."
"Right, didn’t you say Miss Murong was with you just now?"
Murong ifang responded, "Miss Murong has already arrived, she’s just outside taking a phone call and will co in shortly."
Wei Xiang was instantly overjoyed, his face full of excitent as he said, "That’s great, I have admired Miss Murong for a long ti, and today I finally have the chance to see her true face."
Knowing that Mingyue was just outside, Huang Jin and Su Wu turned extrely pale.
Although they had chosen Qin Chuan, they were clear about how high Mingyue’s status was within the Murong Family.
It could be said that Mingyue was the leading figure of her generation in the Murong Family, a real heiress from a top-notch noble family of Yandu.
Su Nanzhi’s face was also deathly pale, filled with regret. Had she known of Wei Xiang’s connection, she would not have dragged Qin Chuan into this no matter how humiliated she felt.
Yang Liu, who had been terrified and even wet herself from fright due to Qin Chuan earlier, now wore a proud expression on her face.
She hurried forward, bowed respectfully to Murong ifang, and said, "Hello, I am Wei Xiang’s girlfriend, Yang Liu."
"Girlfriend?"
Murong ifang subtly furrowed her brow, sized up Yang Liu from head to toe, then turned to Wei Xiang and said, "Your taste has really deteriorated, taking up with such a plastic surgery face, can you really be satisfied with that?"
Wei Xiang touched his nose sowhat awkwardly and said, "It’s just for fun."
Hearing the words of the mother and daughter, Yang Liu’s face turned extrely ugly, she bit her red lips tightly, tears swirling in her eyes.
In front of Murong ifang, she didn’t dare to even breathe heavily, let alone get angry.
Suddenly, Murong ifang put a hand over her nose, her face full of aversion as she said, "Hmm? Why is there a stench of urine?"
Yang Liu’s face imdiately flushed red, burning hot, and she involuntarily retreated several steps, fearing that Murong ifang would notice sothing amiss.
Wei Xiang quickly changed the subject, looking fiercely at Qin Chuan as he said, "Kid, weren’t you acting all arrogant just now? My mom is here, so why don’t you continue with your arrogance?"
Qin Chuan chuckled coldly, "I stick to my words, it’s not just you, a waste with half the Murong Family blood, but even if it were the entire Murong Family, what can they do to ?"
Huang Jin and Su Wu’s faces changed dramatically, it was one thing for Qin Chuan to say such things when the people of the Murong Family were not present, but now that Murong ifang was here, he still dared to say this, wasn’t this like stirring up a hornet’s nest?
Indeed, Murong ifang said with a chilly face, "Young man, I can give you the benefit of the doubt because you are young and unaware of the Murong Family’s reputation, and offer you a chance to take back that statent."
Qin Chuan sneered, "Can spit that’s been spat out be taken back?"
"You’re courting death!"
Murong ifang instantly flew into a rage, waved her hand grandly, and commanded, "First, cripple this kid’s limbs!"
At her command, more than a dozen Murong Family martial artists charged toward Qin Chuan.
Wei Xiang’s eyes were filled with mockery as he grated, "Dare to touch , that’s the price!"
Huang Jin and Su Wu were completely stunned, the martial aura that the martial artists had erupted with in an instant made them feel as cold as ice, leaving them afraid to move an inch.
On the other hand, Su Nanzhi imdiately stood in front of Qin Chuan and addressing Murong ifang said, "As one of Yandu’s top noble families, is the Murong Family truly going to attack without distinguishing right from wrong? That’s going too far!"
No one expected that under these circumstances, a seemingly weak woman would dare to stand in front of Qin Chuan, facing off against the Murong Family’s people.
The several martial artists also subconsciously stopped in their tracks and looked toward Murong ifang.
Murong ifang’s eyebrows raised, she said with a face full of pride, "What? You want to stand up for this kid?"
Her gaze was full of coldness, and that single look placed imnse pressure on Su Nanzhi.
Suppressing the fear in her heart, Su Nanzhi mustered her courage and said, "The incident just now was a misunderstanding, nothing but that woman using your son to stir up trouble, everyone here saw it."
"The reason my friend took action was because your son was foolish enough to be soone else’s pawn, provoking us of his own accord."
Yang Liu’s face changed dramatically, Murong ifang clearly looked down on her, and if the latter found out it was her who had used Wei Xiang, she surely wouldn’t let her off the hook.
In desperation, she yelled, "You’re talking nonsense! It was clearly you, this whore, who provoked first, and my husband was hit by your boyfriend just trying to protect ."
Su Nanzhi sneered, "Your husband? If I heard correctly, just now this lady did not acknowledge your status."
Yang Liu exploded in rage, "What did you say, you bitch?"
Su Nanzhi said mockingly, "Did I say anything wrong?"
"You, you, you..."
Yang Liu trembled with anger but was unable to retort.
Murong ifang frowned and shot Wei Xiang a fierce glare, then looked coldly at Su Nanzhi and said, "You’re quite sharp-tongued, little girl. Do I, Murong ifang, need to have a reason to act against soone?"
Su Nanzhi retorted, "I’ve heard that the people of Nine Gates of Yandu always persuade with reason. If you really abandon reason and insist on bullying others by force, wouldn’t you tarnish the good reputation of the Murong Family?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was shocked!
No one had expected this delicate and unbelievably beautiful woman to dare speak to a mber of the Murong Family in such a manner.
A terrible chill flickered in Murong ifang’s eyes. This was a public place, and her overbearing behavior was indeed improper.
Su Nanzhi’s words left her no way to step down gracefully.
Yet if she were to leave just like that, how would the grievance of her son being hit by Qin Chuan be settled?
Huang Jin and Su Wu exchanged a look before stepping forward.
Huang Jin said, "Madam Murong, good day. Today’s matter was just a misunderstanding, I hope you can forgive the minor transgressions."
Su Wu also looked at Su Nanzhi and scolded, "It’s all the trouble you caused, aren’t you going to apologize to Madam Murong?"
Su Nanzhi’s eyes were red, and she bit her lip tightly, her face a mixture of grievance and defiance, showing no intention of apologizing.
Huang Jin then looked at Qin Chuan and said, "Mr. Qin, how about you apologize to Madam Murong as well?"
"No way!"
Wei Xiang imdiately said, "If this kid only hit , an apology might be acceptable, but he insulted the Murong Family, so he must pay a severe price today!"
His eyes were filled with ferocity, even murderous intent!
What was his status, after all? To be beaten by a nobody, if word got out, how could he still have the face to run the Premium Auction House?
"A severe price must be paid!"
Just then, an icy voice suddenly echoed from the entrance of the restaurant.
All eyes turned, only to see an incredibly beautiful figure stride in, with an elder following behind her.
Seeing the newcor, a smile imdiately spread across Murong ifang’s face, "Miss Murong, you’re right, this kid must pay a severe price!"
