Chapter 437: Chapter 438 “What kind of woman is this…how can she be so troubleso?! Chapter 437: Chapter 438 “What kind of woman is this…how can she be so troubleso?! Wei Yixiao, drenched in cold sweat, also cast a contemptuous look at Qi Yue.
“Untie this instant, or your life will be at risk each minute you delay!”
However, Qi Yue, as if nothing were amiss, continued to fan herself calmly and elegantly.
“Qingzhu, shut her up.”
Qingzhu responded, and with a “buzz,” Wei Yixiao’s mouth seed to be sewn shut from the inside, tightly closed, which looked particularly comical and ridiculous.
The crowd witnessed this and the murmurs intensified, with so even directly questioning Lin Zhinan.
“May I ask Chief Liu, since this gentleman is unrelated to you, how do you plan to deal with his causing trouble in your residence?”
“Chief Liu, Minister Wei has been beaten in your house. Will you arrest this gentleman to quell the incident?”
“…”
The crowd’s remarks almost seed like they were at a press conference.
Liu Zhinan, however, remained calm. He looked deeply at Qi Yue and began to speak.
“I only said that this gentleman is not my illegitimate child, I did not say he has no connection to the Liu Family!”
At these words, the crowd quieted down again and exchanged glances.
“What does that an?”
“Don’t understand? Could it be that Chief Liu ans that he still intends to take care of this gentleman despite these incidents?”
“…”
Before the crowd could speculate further, Liu Zhinan already announced loudly, “This gentleman’s surna is Chen, his na is Xiaoyue, and he is my nephew who was misplaced abroad!”
The crowd gasped in unison!
“What?”
“When did Chief Liu acquire a nephew?”
“If there’s a nephew, there must be a sister. Does the Liu Family have any won who married into a family nad Liu?”
“Isn’t the only sister of Chief Liu married off to Minister Huang? There’s no Liu surna there.”
“Indeed, I think this is nonsense!”
“…”
Amidst the crowd’s murmurings, Liu Zhinan briefly explained the situation.
It essentially stated that, decades ago, the Liu Family had lost a daughter, and Qi Yue was a descendant of that lost daughter.
Although the reasoning was far-fetched and not worth delving into, the crowd had no choice but to accept it.
Soon, Liu Zhinan said he would handle the dispute between Qi Yue and Wei Yixiao and thus ended the banquet early, sending everyone away.
Although the crowd felt it was improper, they had no choice but to leave.
But as the gates had just closed, another group arrived.
These were people from the Wei Family, who ca to seek justice for Wei Yixiao.
But after all, the Liu Family handled matters in a straightforward and blunt manner.
Liu Zhiqing, with a smile, greeted them with a few kind words and settled the Wei Family people in another courtyard for tea, firmly preventing them from seeing the pitiful state of Wei Yixiao.
In that courtyard, Wei Yixiao was enduring hardship!
This woman was truly stubborn.
After her mouth was sealed by Qingzhu, she simply stopped struggling, leaning against the outside stone pillar of the pavilion, and coldly glared at Liu Zhinan and Qi Yue as if saying, “I have backing, dare to treat like this, just wait for your doom!”
Qi Yue couldn’t be bothered with her. Her original intention had been to escalate the situation.
Only, Liu Zhinan had suddenly beco her uncle, so there were so matters she had to reconsider.
“Uncle, how do you wish to handle this? I am your nephew, whom you’ve found with difficulty. Surely, you won’t let suffer a loss, will you?”
Qi Yue sat inside the pavilion, slowly tossing nuts into her mouth and crunching on them.
Liu Zhinan’s short beard on his chin quivered, and he frowned as he started to say, “You” but then abruptly stopped.
Ah, what to say!
He dared not reprimand her!
“What’s wrong, dear uncle? Haven’t eaten yet? Why is there a hiccup in your speech?”
Qi Yue laughed, her face bearing a mischievous smile as she continued to pop food into her mouth.
Liu Zhinan was at a loss for words.
He cald his mind and kept reminding himself not to offend this person before he started speaking.
“Yueyue, look, how about we release Wei Yixiao first, ease up a bit, then we can discuss further…”
“Sure!” Qi Yue readily agreed, “Qingzhu, listen to uncle, let her go.”
Liu Zhinan was stunned.
He hadn’t expected Qi Yue to agree so easily.
It seems she must see as her actual uncle!
Thinking this, a few shreds of satisfaction appeared on Liu Zhinan’s old face.
“Yueyue, one must have a grand vision to accomplish great things, uncle believes in you!”
Qi Yue giggled hehe, looking very obedient and compliant.
“Uncle, then I’ll leave the rest of the matters to you, I have so things to take care of, may I go first?!”
Liu Zhinan was in high spirits, thinking that Qi Yue trusted him so much, he could even report this to the person at Bamboo Garden. Suddenly hearing this, he nodded without a second thought.
“Alright, go on with your tasks…”
Qi Yue had been waiting for him to say this and imdiately signaled Qingzhu with her eyes.
The two of them ran off as fast as their feet could carry them.
Liu Zhinan kept talking, “…once you’re done, co back, uncle has arranged everything in your courtyard, you can live at ho from now on…”
Suddenly looking up and noticing that the pavilion was empty, Liu Zhinan couldn’t help but frown.
“Why did this child leave so hastily?”
Upon a closer look, Wei Yixiao, who had been sitting on the ground, shakily stood up and was glaring at him with glaring black eyes, as if she wanted to devour him alive!
Liu Zhinan’s face changed!
He had completely forgotten about this ss!
By letting Qi Yue go, was he now left to face the consequences of the beating?!
Suddenly, his short beard began to twitch involuntarily, and it took him a long while before he could grit his teeth and spat out a phrase.
“What kind of woman is this, always causing trouble?!”
Little did he know that Qi Yue had long calculated to trap him, and now that she had acknowledged kinship, she was even more reckless.
Outside the Chief of Staff’s office on Milla Street, Qi Yue was striding along, occasionally glancing around her left and right.
“Master, is it really okay for us to just leave like this?” Qingzhu followed behind, perprojecting with worry.
“What else can we do, stay and fight the Wei Family?”
Qingzhu hesitated a mont, “All of the Wei Family mbers are still inside. Can Master Liu really handle it? If he gets too upset, it might not be good for our future plans.”
Qi Yue chuckled.
“Qingzhu, do you know why people in this world are obsessed with money and power?”
Qingzhu was montarily stunned, not understanding why Qi Yue had shifted the topic so drastically, but still expressed her thoughts.
“Is it because it allows one to live a life above others?”
“No.” Qi Yue shook her head, “What you ntioned is just the lowest level of need. People like the Liu brothers have long transcended such basic needs.”
Qingzhu continued to be puzzled, “Then what are they after?”
“Resources.” Qi Yue calmly uttered a word, “Money and power bring limitless resources, and with resources, everything becos possible.”
Although Qingzhu did not fully understand, she caught a glimpse of the aning, “So, you an Master Liu will handle this easily?”
“Of course.”
“But Wei Yixiao has suffered losses twice in a row, won’t she easily let go?”
“That’s the prowess of the Liu Family,” Qi Yue quirked her lips, “With money and power in hand, even the Emperor of Nanyue must bow, what’s the Wei Family compared to that?”
Seeing Qi Yue speak with such confidence, Qingzhu couldn’t help but nod.
Just as she was about to ntion that Zhao Tai had sent the latest ssage, she saw Qi Yue suddenly picking up pace and heading into an alley.
