Chapter 179 – 174 So Simple
“Things are not as simple as you think.”
Sheng Qiani shook her head and said, “My father was born into an Ancient Martial Arts Family, yet he had no talent for martial arts. He further defied my grandfather by marrying an Arican woman, my mother, which placed our family in a very low position within the Sheng Family. Although my father is a businessman and now has assets worth several billion, he still holds no status within the Sheng Family.”
“Of course, I have no good feelings toward the Sheng Family either. They don’t recognize us, and I’m not interested in currying favor with them. I never tell anyone I am from the Sheng Family. But, if I don’t marry now, it will definitely provoke the Sheng Family’s displeasure and retaliation. My father’s company would be swallowed up, and our family will certainly et a terrible end. I have to consider my parents, not just myself.”
Sheng Qiani looked at Liu Wentian, her eyes twinkling for a mont, but then dimd again.
She had originally planned, before marrying Zhou Yi, to give herself to Liu Wentian, for she had quite a fondness for him. But then she rembered that Liu Wentian was simply not capable…
Perhaps, this was fate.
If she was not being forced to marry Zhou Yi, even if Liu Wentian was not capable, as long as he truly loved her, spending a life with him wouldn’t be so bad. Sheng Qiani thought to herself.
Liu Wentian naturally didn’t understand that he was simply not adequate in a certain aspect in Sheng Qiani’s heart. After hearing Sheng Qiani’s words, he frowned and said, “No matter what, your family is still a part of the Sheng Family. Can it be that if you refuse, the Sheng Family would really drive your family to ruin and death?”
Sheng Qiani, feeling helpless, said, “If my grandfather were still in charge, naturally it wouldn’t be like this. Although he thinks my father is hopeless, he wouldn’t really do anything to us. But now my grandfather is no longer healthy, and the Sheng Family is controlled by my uncle. In my uncle’s eyes, there are only interests. As long as it can make the Sheng Family stronger, there’s nothing he wouldn’t do.”
“Every night in my dreams I see you I feel you…”
Sheng Qiani’s ringtone sounded, and she glanced at the caller ID with a look of displeasure.
“What’s the matter?” Sheng Qiani answered the phone with a cold tone.
After a mont, she hung up the phone, her face looking extrely upset.
“Who was that on the phone?” Liu Wentian asked, puzzled.
Sheng Qiani did not answer. Instead, she looked deeply at Liu Wentian, and with a sense of farewell tinged with sadness, she said, “Liu Wentian, I have to go.”
“Was it the Sheng Family who called?”
Liu Wentian’s tone was icy as he said, “In that case, let accompany you to the Sheng Family. I want to see for myself how remarkable this Ancient Martial Arts Family is, to outright command you to marry a man you do not like!”
Sheng Qiani was startled by Liu Wentian’s words, her eyes filled with emotion. After hesitating for a mont, reason finally overca emotion. She shook her head and said, “Liu Wentian, thank you for thinking of . However, you can’t help .”
Although Sheng Qiani had seen Liu Wentian teach a group of bodyguards a lesson and witnessed Liu Wenxing’s miraculous dical skills when Liu Wentian had taken her to eat hot pot, she still believed that Liu Wentian could not compare to an Ancient Martial Arts Family, unable to comprehend what an ancient martial arts expert truly ant!
Liu Wentian realized that at such tis, even if he told her how formidable he was, she wouldn’t believe him. He thought for a mont, then said,
“Didn’t you say that your grandfather is now ill, which is why your uncle is in charge? Maybe I can heal your grandfather’s illness.”
Experience more tales on Novgo
Imdiately, Sheng Qiani’s face brightened. Yes, she had witnessed Liu Wentian’s miraculous dical skills.
Perhaps Liu Wentian really could heal her grandfather’s illness. Then, in gratitude for healing him, her grandfather might refuse Zhou Yi’s marriage proposal and send him away!
Thinking this, Sheng Qiani quickly nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll take you to the Sheng Family.”
Then, she added, “But Zhou Yi is at the Sheng Family now, and Leng Tiantu must have told him about you seeing . If you et him later and he provokes you, don’t provoke him in return, just tolerate him. Do you understand?”
When Sheng Qiani said this, she wasn’t siding with Zhou Yi, but knew that Zhou Yi, being a genius of the Zhou Family and an ancient martial arts expert, she really didn’t want to see Liu Wentian get into trouble.
Liu Wentian scoffed internally.
Tolerate the other party? He was not that kind-tempered.
If others do not offend , I do not offend others. But if others offend , I will repay them a hundredfold!
However, he outwardly still agreed.
…..
Sheng Family.
In the hall sat many people, including Leng Tiantu who had previously threatened Liu Wentian.
At that ti, he was sitting next to a young man with a sinister face, his smile sowhat ingratiating.
Next to him were Sheng Qiani’s eldest uncle, who was the current head of the Sheng family, Leng Zhenkun, Sheng Qiani’s second uncle Leng Zhenhua, her father Leng Zhenyu, and other key figures of the Sheng family.
Among these people, Leng Zhenkun and the young man with the sinister face seed to be the leaders.
Leng Tiantu, threatened by Sheng Qiani not to harm Liu Wentian, grew more and more angry after returning ho. In his eyes, his uncle Leng Zhenyu’s family had long been excluded from the core circle of the Sheng family, and Sheng Qiani was no different from a servant to the Sheng family.
Now, this “servant” even dared to talk back to him, which was outrageous!!
Fearing that Zhou Yi might take out his frustration on the Sheng family if he married Sheng Qiani and then discovered she was entangled with other n, he relayed the matter to Zhou Yi, who happened to be at ho right after he returned.
Imdiately, everyone’s expression changed, and Zhou Yi’s face suddenly darkened!!
“What’s the situation, when is she coming back??” Leng Zhenkun asked while tapping his fingers on the armrest of the mahogany chair, his tone indifferent.
Leng Tiantu glanced at Zhou Yi and then said, “Dad, don’t worry. That woman will be back soon!!”
After finishing his statent, he sneered towards Leng Zhenyu, “Uncle, you really have a wonderful daughter!! She is about to marry Young Master Zhou but still goes out on dates with random n. It’s typical of soone raised abroad, drinking foreign ink and forgetting all virtues!!”
Leng Zhenyu was already looking grim, but upon hearing Leng Tiantu’s words, his face turned even more steely as he retorted, “Tiantu, what are you talking about?? Qiani is your sister after all, how can you speak of her like that??”
“Ha, sister? I don’t have such a disrespectful sister who knows nothing about rank and decency!”
Leng Tiantu sneered dismissively, “She told herself earlier that she doesn’t consider us her family at all; in her eyes, the Sheng family doesn’t exist!”
“Enough, stop talking!!”
Leng Zhenkun drumd his fingers on the mahogany armrest to halt Leng Tiantu from continuing, then added, “Third brother, regardless of anything else, your daughter has Sheng family blood running through her veins. Whether she likes it or not, she is a mber of the Sheng family. A mber of our family must abide by our rules. What are we if we don’t respect our seniors and lack moral decency? A wild woman from the United States??”
After speaking, Leng Zhenkun’s eyes filled with a chilling intensity as he looked at Leng Zhenyu.
Leng Zhenyu was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed. Leng Zhenkun had criticized not only his daughter but also his Arican wife. He was itching to leap up and slap Leng Zhenkun!!
However, he couldn’t do that; he had to endure it!!
He might be a successful businessman but held no significant status within the Sheng family; his presence here was rely because he, too, shared the Sheng family blood.
His father had three sons; the eldest son, Leng Zhenkun, had an excellent talent for martial arts and was already a high-level expert at the Subsequent Enchantnt Late Stage, firmly in charge of the entire Sheng family.
The second son, Leng Zhenhua, though diocre in aptitude, was at least at the Postnatal Early Stage and had entered the realm of Ancient Martial Arts.
As for him, the youngest, he had no talent for martial arts at all; he could never beco a master in his lifeti!!
Moreover, he had faced opposition from his father, but he still married an Arican woman, which is why he now had absolutely no status within the Sheng family.
If the family head were still his father, perhaps his family wouldn’t be treated this harshly, but now that Leng Zhenkun was in charge, he feared Leng Zhenkun could do anything when provoked. This man saw no kinship in his eyes, only interests!!
Leng Zhenkun, seeing that Leng Zhenyu was too angry to speak, curled the corner of his mouth in a cold smirk. He then turned to Zhou Yi and apologized, “Young Master Zhou, rest assured, once Sheng Qiani returns, I will have her explain herself to you personally!!”
Zhou Yi’s face was grim, but seeing Leng Zhenkun being so polite, he did not show any displeasure. Although his Zhou family was stronger, the Sheng family was not to be underestimated.
After thinking for a mont, he said indifferently, “Uncle Leng, you should understand, if Sheng Qiani has indeed been involved with another man, she will not be entering my family’s threshold!!”
“This…”
Leng Zhenkun was montarily stunned, then his eyebrows furrowed.
Given his father’s recent condition, he might not last much longer, and his strength had already significantly declined. Without his father, a Postnatal Peak master, it would be difficult for him to maintain the vast family business.
After all, besides his father, he was currently the strongest in the Sheng family, yet he was still only at the Subsequent Enchantnt Late Stage with the Postnatal Peak being far out of reach!!
