Chapter 108: Chapter 107 The Hot-Tempered Old Master

Looking at Bai Zhiqing’s appearance, Bai Qiao Mountain snorted coldly, his tone unquestionable, ”Stop with the ’but’s’, this matter is settled. Just find a time to hold another wedding ceremony.”

”Grandfather, isn’t this too hasty, perhaps we could take it slow...”

Before Lu Tianxing could finish speaking, Bai Qiao Mountain swiftly stood up from the sofa, grabbing Lu Tianxing’s collar, and roared, ”What do you mean by this, boy? Are you trying to dine and dash? I’ll have you know, regardless of what status you have, if you anger me, believe me, I can call right now and have you become China’s number one wanted criminal, making you spend the rest of your life in prison.”

Lu Tianxing’s face was instantly covered with black lines. What the hell is this all about? While he had touched Bai Zhiqing, it was entirely with the intention of saving her life. Aren’t doctors supposed to treat patients without regard to gender? Besides, he hadn’t said anything about wanting a divorce.

”Grandfather, that’s not what I meant. I was just saying we’re too young to be in a rush to have children.”

”Bullshit, that’s exactly what you mean. Let me tell you, you must marry my granddaughter Bai Qiao Mountain or else, I will break both your legs.”

”No, I disagree. I don’t even like him; our marriage is just an agreement. He’s only a shield I found. How can you dictate my future with just one sentence? This is autocratic, you’re pushing your granddaughter into a fire pit. I want to divorce him,” Bai Zhiqing suddenly lifted her head, her eyes reddening a bit, and she hysterically yelled.

Bai Qiao Mountain, furious, with his nose appearing crooked from rage, yelled, ”Divorce, say that one more time for me.”

”I’ll say it, he’s just a shield I found. I call the shots on my own marriage.”

”Fine, fine, you’re killing me with anger. If you want a divorce so much, I’m going to kill you today. I disown you as my granddaughter.”

Bai Qiao Mountain trembled with fury, and as he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped Bai Zhiqing.

Seeing this scene, Lu Tianxing was taken aback. He had just experienced the old man’s explosive temper, but this was too much; a disagreement resulted in physical violence, even striking his own granddaughter. Lu Tianxing had the instinct to hold back Bai Qiao Mountain, but he dared not; the old man was fuming, and interfering now would only make his anger worse.

Unable to stop Bai Qiao Mountain and unwilling to let Bai Zhiqing get hurt, Lu Tianxing had no choice but to flash to Bai Zhiqing’s side in an instant.

”Slap!”

A crisp slap echoed in the living room.

Bai Zhiqing had already closed her eyes, ready to endure the slap, but when the sound of the slap rang out, she felt no pain, which puzzled her. Had her face become so thick from Lu Tianxing’s training that she couldn’t feel pain anymore?

instinctively opening her eyes, Bai Zhiqing immediately saw Lu Tianxing’s head in front of her, his cheek bearing a faint handprint; it was obvious that Lu Tianxing had taken the slap for her.

Bai Zhiqing’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Lu Tianxing, ”Lu Tianxing, why did you...”

Bai Zhiqing could never have imagined that Lu Tianxing would stand in front of her, taking the slap meant for her. A tremor ran through her heart, and her gaze towards Lu Tianxing was filled with an indescribable and unspeakable complexity.

At this moment, He Cailan also sighed in relief. She had wanted to stop her husband, but it was a bit too late. Fortunately, Lu Tianxing was there.

Bai Qiao Mountain’s trembling hands retracted, and he looked at Lu Tianxing with astonishment on his face. He knew what Lu Tianxing’s identity was—no matter if it was his military status or his status after leaving the military, either was famous throughout the world. Countless forces would willingly give their daughters in marriage to him if Lu Tianxing wished. However, Bai Qiao Mountain never imagined that Lu Tianxing would take a slap for Bai Zhiqing.

Bai Qiao Mountain’s arms trembled as he finally sighed and said, ”Tianxing, why bother? Why take this slap for an unfilial girl? With your status, what kind of woman can’t you have? Why endure this slap for her?”

Lu Tianxing touched his cheek and smiled nonchalantly, ”Grandfather, you overestimate me. What status do I have? I’m just a little assistant at Zhiqing Company. Besides, Zhiqing is now my wife. As a man, how could I stand by and watch her get hit? I took this slap for Zhiqing. It’s nothing. Grandfather, please calm down. If there’s an issue, we can discuss it as a family.”

Bai Weiwei sat nearby, her surprised eyes wide open, watching Lu Tianxing in disbelief. In her wildest dreams, she hadn’t thought that Lu Tianxing would take a slap for her sister. Even just watching it, feeling the force and hearing the sound of that slap, her teeth ached on behalf of another.

Looking at Lu Tianxing, a glint passed through Bai Weiwei’s eyes. This was a real man, one who knew how to care for and protect his wife, much stronger than those sanctimonious talkers. She, too, would look for a man like this who thinks of his wife.

He Cailan, hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, her face instantly beamed with intense joy. With a grandson-in-law who cared for his wife like this, how could her granddaughter be wronged? As for their affection, how does it develop? Affection, of course, is cultivated. With time spent together, naturally, affection will grow. This grandson-in-law, she approved of him.

”Tianxing, are you alright? Zhiqing, what are you standing there for? Look at what Tianxing has done for you. Look at the men around you; which one isn’t pursuing you with an ulterior motive? Now look at yourself, what should I say about you?”

He Cailan looked at her granddaughter with some dissatisfaction. A man willing to stand up for his woman and protect her from harm was absolutely worth trusting. In life, finding such a man was too rare.

”Grandma, I’m thick-skinned and tough; I’m fine,” Lu Tianxing said, shaking his head as he looked at Bai Qiao Mountain. ”Grandfather, please calm down. Zhiqing might have acted out of sudden anxiety; after all, anyone would be flustered upon hearing they’re about to have a child. I’ll discuss this with her properly; after all, we can’t rush into this.”

”That’s best. Remember, Tianxing, you can rest easy now. I am confident in my decision about you as my grandson-in-law. If she dares to cause any trouble, you tell me right away, and I’ll make sure she’s taken care of,” Bai Qiao Mountain declared.

After he finished speaking, Bai Qiao Mountain said nothing more and directly turned and walked toward the room downstairs.

Bai Zhiqing opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but before she could, Lu Tianxing swiftly grabbed Bai Zhiqing’s hand. He squeezed her palm and preemptively said, ”Don’t worry, Grandfather, I will convince Zhiqing.”

He Cailan noticed Lu Tianxing’s subtle action and a relieved smile spread across her face.

In Bai Weiwei’s eyes, surprise flashed; she knew her sister’s personality well. Bai Zhiqing had never regarded any man highly, and she had never been close to any man. Yet now, a man was holding her hand, and she hadn’t resisted. To put it another way, deep down, Bai Zhiqing didn’t reject Lu Tianxing.

Could it be that these two really had a chance?

Bai Weiwei had a thought cross her mind, and a devilish smile appeared on her lips, as if scheming something.
