Chapter 1041: What Do You Want?

“Jiang Yao is Chen Feibai’s 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?” 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. “Chen Feitang, step out from behind your father!”

Chen Feitang was a tough woman. Even though she trembled in fear, she still gritted her teeth and stood forward. “If you want to beat me, then go ahead. It’s not the first time I’ve been whipped anyway!”

“Do you know what you’ve done wrong?” Old Master Chen was furious as he raised the whip to hit Chen Feitang’s 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.

“Dad, please talk to Feitang properly.” Chen Shanjin saw that his daughter’s eyes were red from the pain. He gritted his teeth and went forward to stop the older man without another word.

“Unfilial son, get lost! Look at the daughter you raised!” Old Master Chen was even more furious when his son tried to stop him. He whipped Chen Shanjin’s 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, “Old Master Chen, I’m not involved in your family’s disciplinary actions. Now, let’s talk about my matter first.”

When he heard Lu Xingzhi’s words, Old Master Chen knew that Lu Xingzhi’s anger had not subsided at all. He threw the whip on the ground and then looked at Lu Xingzhi. “I know about the Jin City army. It was Feitang’s fault. Xingzhi, don’t worry. I will ask her to apologize to your wife.”

“Since you already know about it, then you must also know about the impact this incident had on me,” Lu Xingzhi said. “My 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 family’s precious daughter. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course.”

After a pause, Lu Xingzhi sneered, “However, 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.

“Chen Feitang, you may be the Chen family’s delicate daughter. But my wife, Jiang Yao, is also the Jiang and Lu families’ 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.” Lu Xingzhi said, “This 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?”

“Then what do you want?” Chen Shanjin could hear the meaning behind Lu Xingzhi’s 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.
