Chapter 469: Chapter 469 You Dare to Touch Huo Xingzhou’s Wife

The servants, after hearing what Xiang Hai had to say, dared not speak another word, fearing they would be the target of his wrath.

Yet, they couldn’t help wondering to themselves, it seemed that the Guan Family’s visit wasn’t about seeking justice.

Xiang Mingzhu followed Xiang Hai and said, "I’d like to take a look too."

Seeing the proud members of the Guan Family suffer a setback, with Guan Jingtan being forced to marry into her family, pleased her greatly.

Father and daughter stepped out of the living room together.

On the entrance of the villa, the stone-paved ground was littered with disassembled wood, seemingly of the finest quality Huanghuali, beautifully carved with intricate hollow designs.

Several cars were also parked nearby.

Members of the Guan Family and some black-clad bodyguards stood at the Xiang Family’s entrance, their presence menacing.

Clang!

The last piece of wood from the Thousand Workmanship Step-on Bed dropped at Xiang Hai’s feet.

The old steward of the Guan Family raised his voice and said, "Mr. Xiang, this is our young miss’s Thousand Workmanship Step-on Bed. Your second son did something disgraceful in our young miss’s room, desecrating her bed, and he promised to compensate. Twenty million, you may transfer it or write an IOU."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Hai thought, Disgraceful act? Desecrated the young miss’s bed?

He immediately became elated, thinking the plan had worked.

He approached the old steward with a smile and said, "Twenty million, no problem. Even fifty million or a hundred million would be justified, as Atan is known throughout the Imperial Capital as a highly proper and sensible lady of high standing."

He immediately had someone fetch a checkbook and wrote out twenty million, which he handed to the old steward.

The steward took the check and said coolly, "This Thousand Workmanship Step-on Bed is now yours, Xiang Family."

Xiang Hai nodded and asked, "What about the marriage between my son and Atan?"

"Marriage? Mr. Xiang, are you dreaming? Your son couldn’t wait to defile a stranger during the birthday banquet in my young miss’s room. And your Xiang Family still has the audacity to mention marriage?"

The old steward sniffed disdainfully and mocked, "Have you been drinking too much?"

Xiang Hai’s face stiffened.

With a wave of his hand, the steward commanded,

"Bring forth Xiang Shao and Lu Shao."

The black-clad bodyguards opened the car doors, dragging Lu Yan and Xiang Ze out and throwing them in front of Xiang Hai, the two blood-stained figures startling him.

Xiang Hai exploded in anger, "What... what is going on here!"

The steward smiled and replied, "For the specifics, I suggest you ask the two young masters. We have brought them; now we will take our leave."

"Stop! You think you can beat up people like this and just walk away?"

"It wasn’t us who harmed them; they brought it upon themselves."

The steward stood straight and confidently led the group away.

Soon, the cars ignited and everyone had left, leaving behind the remnants of the Thousand Workmanship Step-on Bed and both Lu Yan and Xiang Ze.

Lu Yan was curled up on the ground, his handsome face swollen horribly, coughing weakly.

Xiang Ze, still unconscious, had blood on his forehead.

Xiang Hai, filled with anger and confusion, commanded, "Mingzhu, what are you waiting for! Call the private doctor immediately, and help the young masters and Lu Shao back into the living room; I have questions!"

"Yes!"

"Okay, Dad."

The servants efficiently assisted Lu Yan and Xiang Ze into the villa.

Fetching towels and bringing water, they busied about in an orderly manner, none daring to utter another word as Xiang Hai’s face was clouded with anger, and even Xiang Mingzhu tried her best to be invisible.

The private doctor arrived shortly.

After examining both Xiang Ze and Lu Yan, fortunately, their injuries were not severe.

Xiang Ze, having a concussion, was carried into his room.

Lu Yan, cleaned of the dirt on his body, changed into clean clothes, and the doctor tended to his superficial wounds in the living room.

Leaning on the couch, Lu Yan occasionally let out pained groans, "Gently! Do you even know how to apply medicine?"

Finally, after the doctor finished, he told the visibly upset Xiang Hai, "Mr. Xiang, neither young master is seriously injured; they will recover with proper rest."

"Mingzhu, see the doctor out."

"Oh."

Xiang Mingzhu complied, escorting the doctor out.

The room suddenly quieted down, the atmosphere tense.

Lu Yan stole a glance at him, straightened up, swallowed nervously, and called out, "Uncle."

He followed Lu Yingxue’s manner of addressing him, being her cousin.

Lu Yutong, Lu Yingxue’s aunt, had married Xiang Hai, making him her uncle.

The two families were very close, often interacting socially.

However, Lu Yutong had given birth to three sons for the Xiang Family—Xiang Tao, Xiang Ze, and Xiang Huai—and one daughter, Xiang Mingzhu. After giving birth, her health deteriorated, and she went abroad for recovery.

Lu Yan and Xiang Ze had grown up like actual brothers, always together in everything they did.

Lu Yan, known as the Little Tyrant of the Imperial Capital for his bold and aggressive nature, was feared by many.

Sometimes, when the elders couldn’t step in, they relied on him to handle things.

Xiang Hai, containing his anger, demanded, "Speak, what exactly happened!"

Lu Yan, breath weak, replied, "The plan didn’t work; that woman from Haicheng messed it up. We were just one step away..."

He detailed everything that had happened that night, causing Xiang Hai to immediately smash a valuable ornament, shattering it to pieces.

"Damn it! You actually dared to mess with Huo Xingzhou’s wife! Do you think he’s a pushover?"

Xiang Hai had a clearer view than the younger generation; Huo Xingzhou was not to be underestimated.

Not to be trifled with.

"Uncle..." Lu Yan whispered, "What do we do now? Shall I take the lead and handle Guan Jingtan?"

The lucrative prospect of the Guan Family couldn’t fall into other hands.

Xiang Hai, unable to restrain his fury, turned and slapped him across the face. "You take the lead? Do you think the Guan Family are fools? We’ve already missed our best chance. Tonight, both our Lu and Xiang families may well become the laughingstocks of the Imperial Capital."

A well-laid plan, ruined!

Truly more a hindrance than a help!

He had three sons; one, Xiang Huai, had gone to jail for a woman, another, Xiang Ze, a hopeless case, leaving only Xiang Tao who was competent enough to be his right-hand man in the company.

Xiang Hai took a deep breath, veins bulging in his neck, "Did Huo Xingzhou say anything else?"

Lu Yan dismissed it lightly, "He was just bragging. What could he possibly achieve just arriving at the Imperial Capital? He said he was very fair and would send us both families a big gift, so we could all ’enjoy this joy.’"

Lu Yan spat disdainfully.

What a load of nonsense.

Xiang Hai, face darkened, said, "He beat you up. To be fair, he must have planned to send a ’big gift’ to our Xiang Family as well. He must have something else up his sleeve."

What could it be?

Xiang Hai certainly didn’t think Huo Xingzhou was merely boasting.

Something unusual was going on.

Huo Xingzhou had not arrived at the Imperial Capital at the same time as Qiao Xi but had come a few days later.

He must have been up to something else.

As Xiang Hai was deep in thought, the mobile phone on the coffee table vibrated.

He picked up the call with a stern face.

Soon, he understood what Huo Xingzhou’s ’big gift’ was.
