Return of the Celestial King

The more Luo Xianggui thought about it, the more something felt wrong. She quickly pressed him for answers:

”Qin Tuo, what exactly do you know? Tell me right now!”

At that, Jiang Wanyu immediately lowered her head, too ashamed to look at her mother.

Qin Tuo sighed and said seriously,

”Aunt, it was actually Chen Biao who forced my cousin to drop out of school.”

Hearing this, Luo Xianggui was so stunned she couldn’t speak, her face a mask of disbelief.

She had thought Jiang Wanyu had simply lost interest in her studies and decided to drop out. She never imagined there was a reason like this behind it.

Luo Xianglan was also extremely surprised, while Chen Man Ni gritted her teeth in anger, feeling a deep sense of injustice and indignation for Jiang Wanyu.

”Qin Tuo, you’re not lying to me, are you?”

Luo Xianggui’s mind went blank as she asked the question.

Qin Tuo said seriously,

”Aunt, my cousin told me herself. She was afraid of worrying you, so she kept it from you.”

Luo Xianggui slowly turned to her daughter and asked,

”Wanyu, is what he’s saying true?”

Jiang Wanyu didn’t dare to speak, only giving a slight nod. Her trembling shoulders showed she was on the verge of breaking down.

Luo Xianggui clearly found this cruel truth hard to accept. After a long moment, she gave a bitter smile and said,

”Wanyu, if this was the case, why didn’t you tell me sooner? If you had told me, why would I ever stop you from continuing your studies?”

However, Jiang Wanyu didn’t dare to respond, her face turning deathly pale.

From the side, Qin Tuo sighed and said,

”Aunt, Wanyu was afraid that Chen Biao would keep harassing the family, so she didn’t tell you everything. You have to understand her. Please don’t blame her anymore!”

At this, Jiang Wanyu could no longer hold back and burst into tears, her emotions completely collapsing.

After hearing Qin Tuo’s words, Luo Xianggui fell completely silent.

From her expression, Qin Tuo knew she was already contemplating what to do next.

When Luo Xianggui remained silent for a long time, Qin Tuo couldn’t help but speak up:

”Aunt, no matter what, my cousin has to go back to school. It would be such a waste for her not to.”

Luo Xianggui nodded deeply. She knew her daughter’s grades were actually excellent. When Wanyu had first mentioned dropping out, it had broken her heart, and it took a long time for her to accept that outcome.

Qin Tuo continued,

”And this engagement has to be called off. If my cousin marries Chen Biao, it would be no different from sending a lamb into a tiger’s den.”

Beside them, Chen Man Ni also nodded and chimed in,

”That’s right! That Chen Biao is a real piece of work. How could Wanyu marry a man like that?”

However, Luo Xianggui thought for a moment, then said with a troubled expression,

”Qin Tuo, this has already been settled. How can we call it off? Chen Biao will come after our family. We’re just an ordinary family; we can’t afford to provoke a local tyrant like him!”

As she spoke of this, her face was filled with worry, clearly conflicted.

Qin Tuo understood Luo Xianggui’s state of mind, but since he had already decided to intervene, he would never do things halfway.

So, Qin Tuo patted his chest and promised,

”Don’t worry, Aunt. I’ll help take care of everything. I absolutely will not let my cousin marry Chen Biao.”

Beside them, Luo Xianglan couldn’t help but speak up.

”Son, that Chen Biao is a dangerous man. You absolutely must not act recklessly, or you’ll get yourself hurt!”

Luo Xianglan only cared about Qin Tuo’s safety, afraid her son would bring trouble upon himself.

Qin Tuo gave a casual smile and said,

”Mom, do you really think I’d be afraid of scum like Chen Biao?”

But Luo Xianglan was still worried and added a few more words of caution.

”Son, I know you know some important people, but you have to understand the saying, ’Even a mighty dragon can’t defeat a local snake.’”

Qin Tuo just smiled and said nothing more. In his eyes, this Chen Biao didn’t even qualify as a snake.

Nearby, a look of difficult indecision appeared in Luo Xianggui’s eyes. She was clearly struggling to make up her mind.

’Should I let Jiang Wanyu go back to school and call off the engagement, or should I go ahead and marry her into the Chen Family?’

Meanwhile, Jiang Wanyu was crying, tears streaming down her face, her eyes fixed blankly on her mother.

’She knew the happiness of the rest of her life was in her mother’s hands...’

Suddenly, Jiang Wanyu’s phone rang.

She picked it up and looked at the screen, and her face instantly turned deathly white!

Qin Tuo knew at once. ’It must be Chen Biao.’

Jiang Wanyu didn’t want to answer but didn’t dare refuse. She tremblingly accepted the call, and after listening for a few moments, her expression turned grim.

Seeing this, Luo Xianggui quickly asked,

”Wanyu, what’s wrong?”

Jiang Wanyu said in a low voice,

”Mom, it’s a call from Chen Biao.”

Luo Xianggui immediately pressed,

”Oh, Chen Biao? What does he want?”

Jiang Wanyu shook her head and said painfully,

”Chen Biao said... he wants me to go next door and drink with some Manager Liang...”

As she finished speaking, her voice had become a hoarse, choked sob.

Instantly, everyone was furious!

No one had expected that Chen Biao would actually make his own fiancée entertain another man with drinks.

Chen Man Ni immediately cursed angrily,

”That Chen Biao is absolute scum! I wish I could send him straight to hell!”

Although Qin Tuo didn’t say a word, his eyes were filled with a terrifying rage.

Chen Biao’s actions were too outrageous; he had thoroughly enraged him!

Luo Xianggui, who had still been hesitating, was stunned speechless by this.

Then, her face filled with resentment, she slammed her hand on the table and cursed,

”That Chen Biao is a real monster! To think I believed he would be a good son-in-law! I was blind to have misjudged him so badly!”

”Mom, what should I do?”

Jiang Wanyu’s eyes were filled with helplessness.

Luo Xianggui stood up decisively and said,

”Don’t be afraid, my daughter. I’m going to find that Chen Biao right now and demand an explanation. I will get justice for you!”

Seeing Luo Xianggui stand up for her daughter like this, Qin Tuo and the others felt very gratified.

And Jiang Wanyu, wiping her tears, showed a glimmer of hope.

However, just as Luo Xianggui was about to go to the private room next door, Chen Man Ni quickly stopped her.

”Miss Qin, why are you stopping me?”

Luo Xianggui was confused.

Chen Man Ni said seriously,

”Aunt, let me and Qin Tuo go. I know how to handle this!”

Luo Xianggui shook her head and said,

”If you go, Chen Biao will just bully you. It’s better if I go talk to him!”

Saying this, her face flushed with anger, she was about to go and settle the score with Chen Biao.
