Chapter 464: Chapter 463: Unable to Refuse

The next day, the Lou Family left the Imperial Capital first.

All the families were keeping an eye on each other and knew that Lou Yiheng’s condition wasn’t very good.

But whether the injury was a calculated move or if he really had gone mad was yet to be confirmed.

Of course, nobody in these families was foolish; they all had some understanding of the situation.

It was highly likely that yesterday, Lou Yiheng had intended to harm Lou Ranran but ended up being outmaneuvered and harming himself instead.

There was little doubt in their minds that Lou Ranran and Luo Ning had a hand in this.

But everyone pretended not to understand the situation.

After the Lou Family left, other families also departed in succession.

Two days later, Jiang Xinxin returned from her trip.

Family Head Luo personally came to visit.

At this time, not only were Luo Ning and her daughters present, but Lei Lifei was there with Lei Qiu as well.

Lei Lifei had grown up with Luo Yicheng, and they were comrades who had faced life and death together; he had always acknowledged Jiang Xinxin as his sister-in-law.

With his sister-in-law’s return, it was natural for him to visit, bringing gifts and joining them for a friendly chat.

Seeing Family Head Luo arrive, Lei Lifei was somewhat surprised; he had thought Old Man Luo wouldn’t come until tomorrow.

He stood up with a smiling face and greeted, "Father-in-law, hello!"

Family Head Luo gave him a cold glance, "Haven’t you gone back yet?"

He wasn’t particularly fond of this troublemaking son-in-law.

Moreover, this guy had never called him "Dad" since the wedding.

It used to be father-in-law, but now it was always "father-in-law".

From this detail, it was clear that Lei Lifei didn’t want to get too close to them.

With Luo Ning, however, it was a different story.

Lei Lifei responded with a smile, "It’s rare for me to come out, I should enjoy a few more days of freedom."

"Besides, Yicheng is a brother to me, and I have to visit my sister-in-law when I am in the Imperial Capital."

He asked, "Father-in-law, what brings you here?"

Family Head Luo, with a cold face, "You can come, why can’t I?"

Lei Lifei, unfazed by his cold demeanor, cheerfully said, "When I come here, my sister-in-law and Luo Ning are very welcoming, providing good tea, good coffee, and even fruit cakes."

"But I’m not so sure about you, father-in-law."

The implication was clear: he was welcome, but Family Head Luo was not.

Family Head Luo: "..." This son-in-law was indeed too annoying.

And despite being the acting Family Head, he still liked to stir trouble and make a mess, it was simply outrageous.

He was about to speak when Luo Ning, as if on cue, poured a cup of plain boiled water from the water cooler and placed it in front of him.

Family Head Luo: "..." Okay, he really wasn’t welcome after all.

Luo Ning looked at Family Head Luo, "Are you here today to notify us of the departure time?"

Family Head Luo didn’t beat around the bush, "Yes, we’ll leave for the island tomorrow, you all should be ready, right?"

Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, "What if I say I’m not ready?"

Family Head Luo: "..." This granddaughter was always so tricky.

He held back his frustration, "If you’re not ready, I’ll give you one more day."

What else could he do? He was determined to take Luo Ning and her daughters back with him.

Luo Ning replied, "That won’t be necessary, we’re ready."

Family Head Luo: "..." This girl was truly born to go against him, so infuriating.

"The flight is at 9:30 tomorrow morning to Nanhai City, then we’ll take the boat directly to the island."

He took a deep breath, though there was still a slight chill emanating from him.

This time, Luo Ning did not tease Old Man Luo, "Okay."

She asked, "Is it a private flight?"

With the Luo Family’s power and wealth, they had a private plane.

Family Head Luo said, "Yes, it’s a private plane."

He added, "The Sikong Family will be joining us."

Lei Lifei’s eyes darted around, "Father-in-law, then our Lei Family will hitch a ride on the Luo Family’s private plane."

Family Head Luo really didn’t want the troublemaker to follow, "Your Lei Family isn’t without a private plane."

Lei Lifei, unabashed, said with a thick-skinned smile, "My family is kind of short on money right now; a trip on a private plane is so expensive, and it’s boring to have just the people from our Lei Family. It’s better to have some company."

Family Head Luo wanted to hold his forehead, and he felt a headache coming on.

Such a massive Lei Family, scrimping on this expense was embarrassing to even mention.

But this acting Family Head could make it sound justified.

This scoundrel was really shameless; he was truly unique on the island.

His son, although also a scoundrel, at least had some shame compared to Lei Lifei.

Since Lei Lifei had already put it that way, Family Head Luo couldn’t well refuse, "Fine, if you want to hitch a ride, then hitch a ride."

He looked at Luo Ning, "Take the Yanyue Blade with you."

Luo Ning didn’t argue this time, "Okay!"

Her compliance made Family Head Luo a bit uneasy, but it saved him the trouble of convincing her further.

Luo Ning asked, "Anything else?"

Family Head Luo shook his head, "Nothing else."

Luo Ning gestured towards the door, "Then please!"

That was a clear expression of disdain and unwelcomeness towards Family Head Luo.

Family Head Luo’s suppressed anger flared up again.

Still, he was a man who cared about his face, and with a cold huff, he stood up and left.

From the moment he entered until he left, he didn’t greet Jiang Xinxin, and she did the same.

Watching Family Head Luo storm off, Luo Ning curled her lip, "At his age, and he’s still so hot-tempered."

Lei Lifei chimed in from the side, "Seriously, he knows he’s not welcome but still makes an appearance. That’s just asking for trouble."

Just as Family Head Luo reached the door, the words of the two reached his ears.

If it weren’t so inappropriate, he would have liked to go back and teach Lei Lifei, this disrespectful son-in-law, a lesson.

Fuming, he hastily left, ignoring what he heard to spare himself the annoyance.

After the people were out of the Siheyuan, Lei Lifei looked at Luo Ning and asked, "Are you really taking the Yanyue Blade back with you?"

Luo Ning nodded, "Yeah, why wouldn’t I?"

Lei Lifei felt Luo Ning was being too carefree, "Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to take it away once you bring it back?"

Luo Ning shrugged indifferently, "If they can take it away, then let them have it."

Now that no one knew she had tamed the Yanyue Blade, unless she died, no one else could take it from her.

Having tamed the Yanyue Blade, along with the assistance of the Snake King, coupled with her current strength, she could walk sideways through the Gufengshui Family. So, bringing it with her was to her advantage.

Seeing her confidence, Lei Lifei didn’t try to persuade her further, "Alright, as long as you know what you’re doing."

He then sighed, "This place is too comfortable; I really don’t want to leave!"

Luo Ning laughed softly, "After this trip to the island is over, maybe you’ll be able to come out often."

Lei Lifei caught the hidden meaning in her words, a complex expression flashed across his eyes, "That might be true."

Luo Ning, seeing his reaction, could guess that he probably knew something big was going to happen this time.

But neither of them brought it up openly.

Lei Lifei sat for a while longer, then left with Lei Qiu.

The three women packed their luggage that night, and the next day they got into Lu Xun’s car.

This time, Lu Xun would accompany them as Luo Ning’s boyfriend.

Lu Xun had informed Old Master Luo in advance, and Old Master Luo couldn’t refuse.
