âJiang Yao is Chen Feibaiâs savior, and she has saved his life twice. Lu Xingzhi is a member of the Liang family and has saved my life. Who gave you the courage to touch them?â The more Old Master Chen spoke, the angrier he got. Finally, he strode upstairs and came down a minute later with a whip in his hand. âChen Feitang, step out from behind your father!â
Chen Feitang was a tough woman. Even though she trembled in fear, she still gritted her teeth and stood forward. âIf you want to beat me, then go ahead. Itâs not the first time Iâve been whipped anyway!â
âDo you know what youâve done wrong?â Old Master Chen was furious as he raised the whip to hit Chen Feitangâs leg.
Even Chen Shanjin was terrified of that whip. Even though Old Master Chen was old, he was in good health; he was also a general. His hand was still very strong.
âDad, please talk to Feitang properly.â Chen Shanjin saw that his daughterâs eyes were red from the pain. He gritted his teeth and went forward to stop the older man without another word.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âUnfilial son, get lost! Look at the daughter you raised!â Old Master Chen was even more furious when his son tried to stop him. He whipped Chen Shanjinâs back heavily; the servant was so frightened that she trembled.
Lu Xingzhi watched the scene coldly. He did not care if Old Master Chen did that on purpose or if he was furious. He did not stop the older man, nor did he say anything.
It was not until Old Master Chen lashed Chen Shanjin and his daughter a few more times that he said with slight impatience, âOld Master Chen, Iâm not involved in your familyâs disciplinary actions. Now, letâs talk about my matter first.â
When he heard Lu Xingzhiâs words, Old Master Chen knew that Lu Xingzhiâs anger had not subsided at all. He threw the whip on the ground and then looked at Lu Xingzhi. âI know about the Jin City army. It was Feitangâs fault. Xingzhi, donât worry. I will ask her to apologize to your wife.â
âSince you already know about it, then you must also know about the impact this incident had on me,â Lu Xingzhi said. âMy wife has returned to her hometown. She said that she wants to divorce me. Chen Feitang is too amazing. I went through a lot of trouble to marry my wife, but she could separate us with just a few words. Old Master Chen, Chen Feitang is your granddaughter. She is the Chen familyâs precious daughter. Thereâs nothing wrong with that, of course.â
After a pause, Lu Xingzhi sneered, âHowever, my wife is not unloved or left by the side of the road. My wife was accused as a vixen in the army. Would an apology suffice? This is not the first time Chen Feitang has made a mistake. I am not someone without a bottom line. If I have to let my wife make compromises every time, I am not worthy of being called a man.
âChen Feitang, you may be the Chen familyâs delicate daughter. But my wife, Jiang Yao, is also the Jiang and Lu familiesâ precious daughter. In terms of ability, my wife is not inferior to you, Chen Feitang. There is no reason for you to make my wife suffer every time.â Lu Xingzhi said, âThis is still a small matter. If it were a big matter, I would have to inform Uncle Liang. If you make a move against me, then you are against the Liang family. Do you think you have enough credibility to do that?â
âThen what do you want?â Chen Shanjin could hear the meaning behind Lu Xingzhiâs words. Even if Old Master Chen was there, Lu Xingzhi had brought up the Liang family. Obviously, if he did not get the answer he wanted that night, he would bring the Liang family with him the next day.
