Chapter 696: Apologize!

Just as Lou Qianxue finished speaking…

Whoosh!

The manager suddenly raised his head and glared at Lou Qianxue. “You! Although my son and Young Master Hong were disrespectful to you, you did not suffer any real harm. Why are you still doing this?”

“Enough!” The vice-chairman interrupted him.

At the next moment.

Whoosh!

Before the crowd could react, he unsheathed his sword.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The light reflected off the sword.

Blood splattered in the air, and two shrieks of agony rang out.

“Ah!”

“Ah!”

“Xin!” The manager’s eyes widened as his aura suddenly intensified. He glared at the vice-chairman with hatred and resentment. “You chopped off my son’s arm! You really did it! For a little girl, you actually…”

Pa!

The vice-chairman slapped him in the face!

The manager’s intense aura dispersed at once.

The venue instantly fell silent.

“Li Zhong, you’ve disappointed me.” The vice-chairman looked at the manager with disappointment in his eyes. “Two years ago, the chairman issued an order saying that Miss Lou is a friend of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. Don’t you remember?”

Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.

“Two years ago?”

“Didn’t Lou Qianxue emerge just recently? Why did the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce do that two years ago…”

The words left everyone shocked and puzzled. They looked at Lou Qianxue and the vice-chairman of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in admiration and envy.

The vice-chairman turned around and said to Lou Qianxue, “Miss Lou, I’m really sorry. Actually, two years ago, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce wanted to cooperate with you. At that time, the chairman said that you’re an ally of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. We’re really sorry that we let our ally suffer such grievances in our territory… How about this? Today, I’ll apologize to you on their behalf. If there’s anything you like here, feel free to take it.”

“Two years ago, you wanted to collaborate with me?” Lou Qianxue’s eyes gleamed slightly. “Yes… Two years ago, when the Jiang family of Liuyun Prefecture tried to destroy my family, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce seemed to have helped us.”

She recalled the past.

Lou Qianxue’s expression improved a little. She nodded and said, “No need.”

Then, she said to Master Yan and Master Tian, “I still have something to settle, so let’s meet again another day.”

“Alright.”

Seeing them leave, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

“Lou Qianxue is indeed a jinx! You mustn’t provoke her!”

***

In the evening, Lou Qianxue and Lou Potian were talking in the house when Lou Xiaoxiao and the juniors of the Lou family returned.

“Grandpa, Qianxue! We have guests. Guess who it is.”

Lou Qianxue’s eyebrows furrowed. She saw Lou Xiaoxiao and the juniors enter with two men.

One of them was a gentle and handsome man.

The other looked masculine but slightly embarrassed.

They were An Shaoning and Hong Qinghe.

Lou Potian also froze. He then smiled and said, “Shaoning, Qinghe, you’re here. Come, come, come. We just got a new cook today. Come and have a taste of her food.”

Hong Qinghe felt a little uneasy. Glancing at Lou Xiaoxiao and An Shaoning, he walked toward Lou Qianxue. “Qianxue, the Hong Family already knows about what happened at the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce today. We have punished Young Master Hong and placed him under house arrest for half a year. I hope you… don’t mind.”

The people from the Lou family sighed…

Even the big families in the Imperial City had to bow down in front of their Miss Qianxue…

Lou Qianxue smiled. “It’s fine. We are all from the same academy, and we are seniors and juniors too.”

As she spoke, her gaze swept past the Infinite Ruler hanging on Hong Qinghe’s waist. “However, I do have some things I want to discuss with you after we eat.”
