Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 294: Chapter 293: The Prestige of Old Qi?

After instructing the driver, the eldest aunt addressed everyone with a smile, ”All right, nothing to worry about, the car will be able to come through soon!”

”That’s great, that’s great!” The second uncle said excitedly, ”As long as it doesn’t delay the child’s wedding, it’s fine. Zhao Xuefen, if she wants to go to Old Qi’s place, let her go. Since she doesn’t want to be closer to us, then let her be distant in the future. Without her, my family’s child can still get married!”

Everyone burst into laughter. Regardless of Zhao Xuefen’s current status at the city hospital, she was still from a poor background. Even if things have slightly improved over the past two years, how much could that really change?

However, not long after, the driver called.

”Big sister, are you trying to trick me?” The driver’s voice was angry. ”I went to ask people to move the car, and they almost beat me up. They just wouldn’t budge!”

”Really?” The eldest aunt was surprised, ”Did you talk to them nicely? With these kinds of people, you can’t be aggressive, you know!”

”Nonsense, how could I dare to be aggressive? That’d be like asking to be killed!” the driver responded. ”I pleaded with them, but they simply refused to make way, insisting on blocking the road. Are you playing with me? Do you think in such a situation they would make way?”

”Impossible, just now my niece and the others had the car moved!” said the eldest aunt.

”Well, I don’t know what the problem is, but stop messing with me. Think of something, if I can get through, I’ll help. If I can’t, then there’s nothing I can do!” the driver said.

”I apologize, please hold on for a moment, I need to find out exactly what’s going on!”

After hanging up, the eldest aunt said angrily, ”They’re not giving way at all. Is Zhao Xuefen deceiving me?”

”Not giving way?” Everyone was surprised with the eldest uncle frowning, ”That can’t be right, didn’t Xuefen say they would make way?”

”Right, they all went to Old Qi’s place by car, how could it be possible that they’re not giving way?” the second uncle also said anxiously, ”Could there be a mix-up?”

In a grave voice, the third uncle said, ”I think Xuefen is just bragging. Where does their family get a car from? Besides, with those kinds of luxury cars, if they’ve blocked the road, would they easily let her through? I don’t believe it!”

”It’s despicable, lying to me!” The eldest aunt raged, immediately dialing Zhao Xuefen’s number, and as soon as the call connected she burst out, ”Xuefen, what are you doing? Do you think I’ve treated you poorly and so you deliberately play tricks on me?”

Zhao Xuefen was confused, ”Eldest aunt, what’s the matter?”

”What’s the matter? Do you still have the nerve to ask?” The eldest aunt said angrily, ”Tell me what’s the matter? I sent the driver to negotiate with the people blocking the road, to have them move the car aside, and they almost got into a fight. What, do you think it’s wrong for your second uncle’s family’s child to get married, so you want to ruin the wedding?”

”Oh, that issue!” Zhao Xuefen suddenly realized, ”Eldest aunt, you can’t say it like that. If you just tell them you’re going to help at Zhao Lao Qi’s place, they’ll immediately open the road for you. I wanted to tell you just now, but you hung up before I could say it!”

”What?” The eldest aunt widened her eyes, ”What are you talking about? If we say we’re going to help at Zhao Old Qi’s place, they’ll give way? Since when does Zhao Old Qi have such clout?”

Zhao Xuefen said, ”Just say it, and if they don’t give way, you can blame me.”

The eldest aunt, half-doubting, frowned, ”Are you at Zhao Old Qi’s place now?”

”Almost there, eldest aunt, I can’t talk anymore, I need to go help!”

After Zhao Xuefen hung up the phone, the eldest aunt was left bewildered. She turned to the people around her and relayed what Zhao Xuefen had just said, whispering.

”That’s nonsense!” The eldest uncle immediately said, ”What a joke! Those are all rich folks. Just mentioning Zhao Old Qi and they would give way? I don’t believe it. Zhao Xuefen is trying to fool us a second time and embarrass us!”

”I don’t believe it either, how could Old Qi possibly have that kind of ability? She’s just lying!” Third Uncle also clamored.

Second Aunt sighed, ”Alas, how did Xuefen change so much over the years? That Su family father and son are really despicable, so infuriating!”

Second Uncle, with a face full of anxiety, said in a trembling voice, ”Then... then what do we do now? If the wedding car can’t get through, how can we proceed with the wedding?”

Everyone was at a loss for words, and after a long silence, Eldest Aunt whispered, ”Why not, let’s just try what Xuefen suggested? If it really doesn’t work, then we’ll think of something else!”

Each person was exchanging glances, now truly out of options.

”Forget it, might as well treat a dead horse as if it’s alive!” Eldest Uncle clapped his hands, ”Let’s do that, ask the driver to give it a go. If it doesn’t work, and the second child’s family can’t have their wedding today, I’ll make sure Old Qi’s family doesn’t have a smooth wedding either!”

Everyone nodded in agreement, Eldest Aunt took out her phone and called the driver, talked him into trying again after much persuasion.

The group waited anxiously by the phone, if this method didn’t work, then the wedding would really be in trouble.

Fortunately, less than five minutes later, the driver called, excitedly saying, ”It worked, they’re letting us through, we can come in now. My God, who is this Old Qi? How can he have such clout?”

Everyone was instantly dumbfounded, it was uplifting news that they were allowed through, but the chill they felt upon hearing this news ran deep.

Old Qi actually had that much influence?

No wonder Xuefen went to Old Qi’s place, had they all clung to the wrong person? Could it be that Old Qi was the real influential figure?

After a long silence, Eldest Uncle suddenly coughed, ”Second brother, you keep busy, I’ll go out and see if there’s anything that needs help?”

”I’ll go too!” Third Uncle quickly followed him out, and Second Aunt without delay, left without a word.

”There’s not much to help with outside at this time...” Second Uncle muttered softly, but no one paid him any attention.

Eldest Uncle, Third Uncle, and Second Aunt went downstairs, hurriedly got into a car in the backyard and prepared to leave.

Just as they reached the gate, they saw Eldest Aunt standing there blocking the way, ”Where are you going?”

All three looked embarrassed, Eldest Uncle said in a low voice, ”Well, it’s like this, I... I need to go out to see, Old Qi’s kid is getting married today, I have to deliver the betrothal gifts first!”

Eldest Aunt nodded, ”Okay, I’ll come too, let’s go together!”

The three exchanged looks, but they all knew very well what was going on. It wasn’t really about delivering the betrothal gifts, they mainly wanted to see what was happening with Old Qi. The way those luxury car drivers made way was just too shocking for them.

The four of them drove out, but as soon as they got to the intersection, they were blocked. Two luxury cars had sealed off the road, preventing them from leaving.

”This intersection is blocked too?” The four of them were dumbstruck, this roadblock was too much, wasn’t it?

”Shall we try, then?” Eldest Uncle said in a low voice, ”Just say we’re going to Old Qi’s son’s wedding, see if they let us through!”
