330 The Xu Family’s Last Tantrum

After Xu Qing received news that Old Master Lei had sprained his waist, she hurriedly came over with the first aid kit. At his age, spraining his waist wasn’t a small matter.

Lei Ping glared at his eldest son, the current head of the Lei family, Lei Zhangyi. “Do you want to send me off? Why did you call so many people to scare me? Let me tell you, I don’t have any inheritance left!”

Lei Zhangyi, who was also Lei Wangshu’s father, felt very aggrieved, but he still lowered his head and apologized softly, “Father, you’ve misunderstood. I was just anxious to see you, and they should come to visit you as well.”

Lei Ping said, “You still dare to talk back?”

Lei Zhangyi said, “Sorry.”

!!

Lei Ping couldn’t be bothered with these people, so he waved his hand impatiently and said, “Alright, bring them back now. There are so many people that it’s giving me a headache.”

Lei Zhangyi was a little helpless, but he still had to bring his family back. Otherwise, his father would probably start beating people with his shoe. He already had grandchildren, so how embarrassing would that be?

Lei Wangshu was very grateful to Xu Qing. She didn’t expect her grandfather to return to the capital in this lifetime. They really missed her grandfather.

Xu Qing smiled. “If you miss him, just come over to visit.” She could tell that it wasn’t that Old Master Lei didn’t miss his family, but he was a little embarrassed to show it.

“Thank you.” The Lei family was very grateful. If not for Xu Qing, they actually wouldn’t have dared to come to the Qiao family’s house. After all, everyone knew how terrifying Qiao Yanhui was!

After the family had dinner at night, Xu Qing and Xu Jiangxi talked about the matter of her investigating his background.

What surprised Xu Qing was that Xu Jiangxi wasn’t sad at all, but he wasn’t very happy either. He just lowered his head, like he was thinking about something.

In fact, in the past few years, the person who had changed the most in the family was Xu Jiangxi. He was no longer burdened by filial piety and became much more assertive. If he wanted to become stronger to protect his family, he had to work hard.

“Father, I’ll definitely find out your background for you.” Xu Qing thought that Xu Jiangxi was worried about this and hurriedly promised.

However, Xu Jiangxi only shook his head and said in a relieved tone, “Little Qing, I don’t want to look for them. Since they haven’t looked for me for so many years, it means that they didn’t want me to begin with. Now that I have my own family, the family I had in the past is no longer important. Moreover, who knows what’s going on in that family? If they abandoned their child, perhaps it was because they were in deep water. I’m old, so I don’t want to think about those things anymore.”

“Since you don’t want to, I won’t investigate!” Xu Qing smiled. Her father was right. That was in the past, so it wasn’t important anymore. However, she still had to continue investigating the matter of the secret family because she wouldn’t let anyone hurt her family.

“By the way, Little Qing, I heard that your fifth uncle… no, Xu Jiangzhong is colluding with someone to deal with you guys?” After Xu Jiangxi thought about his own matters, he started to worry about Xu Qing. He heard that those people who were at odds with Xu Qing and Qiao Yanhui were all people related to the emperor. Didn’t that mean that the emperor wanted to harm Qiao Yanhui?

In Xu Jiangxi’s opinion, the emperor was the sky of a country. If the sky was about to collapse, how could anyone do anything about it?

Xu Qing was very satisfied when she heard Xu Jiangxi suddenly change his address. At least it meant that Xu Jiangxi had completely drawn a line with the Xu family. This way, she only needed to completely cut off ties with the Xu family. Otherwise, the Xu family would still use foster care as an excuse to extort money. However, this matter had to be dealt with before the festival.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of these things.” Xu Qing looked at Qiao Yanhui, who had been silent.

Qiao Yanhui smiled back at Xu Qing. Of course he had to protect his family.

“Then I’ll rest assured. However, Little Qing, try not to harm that family.” Xu Jiangxi wasn’t soft-hearted, but if Xu Qing really killed those people from the Xu family, wouldn’t that be adding to Xu Qing’s sins? They were his adoptive parents after all, so he couldn’t be so heartless.

Xu Qing didn’t say anything because she didn’t intend to take their lives. At most, she would make them suffer.

…

A few days later, the Xu family caused trouble again.

Now, all the people in the capital were saying how unfilial and heartless Xu Qing and her parents were for ignoring their adoptive family and even wanting to sever ties with them.

Disregarding what the truth was, the public started discussing it with great fervor. They even said that a family like Xu Qing’s wasn’t worthy of living!
