Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 234
It took only 30 minutes to travel a distance of 200 km via a helicopter with the destination being a massive castle in Gaulle.
When the helicopter landed, the rain fell even harder. A car came out from the large manor towards the helicopter's landing site. Three people got down the plane then sat in the car, after which it moved into the premises.
The Long family's wealth, as well as style, exceeded some of the rational expectations. The family couldn't be compared to the real elites on the Forbes ranking based on their wealth, but this castle, as well as the vast Red Wine Manor alone, surpassed over a billion in value.
There were a lot of people in the castle who were drinking red wine while appreciating the rainy scenery outside. A middle-aged man led Long Yingqing and Jiang Xiu inside. "The head has returned."
The mood was quite strange. Although these people had already realized their arrival, none of them turned around to look at them and minded their own business, sipping the wine and looking at the rain falling outside.
After that, Long Yingqing's uncle summoned a servant, "Take this mister to the guest room."
Jiang Xiu was also very tired, so he followed behind. His guest room was on the 2nd floor from where he could see the view of the castle's lobby through the window. Using his divine skills, he could not only see it clearly but also hear their dialogue clearly as well.
"Yingqing!" A woman placed the wine cup down and looked at Long Yingqing, "How old are you now? You still act so willfully. Do you know what the consequences of your actions are?"
Long Yingqing remained silent.
"Do you know what will happen if Korea's Lee family hears about this matter? We listened to you when you said you wanted to come back from Korea. We acquiesced when you said you wanted to study in the Imperial Capital. And now, you return home with a man like this?"
The mood became quite stifling. Everyone's expressions were quite grave right now.
Long Yingqing still didn't say a word.
"My good cousin little sister. In those days, Grandpa said you'll have the final say in the Long family in the future, so you think you're the family head now? Don't be too naïve. Just because the prince of the Lee family fancied you, didn't Grandpa coax you into getting engaged with him?"
"Now, you've given such a big gift to that person in the Lee family. Do you think that man can take this lying down?"
Long Yingqing finally opened her mouth. "Don't you slander me!"
"I'm slandering you?" That woman laughed. "You even got taken away to the police station. Even if I was accusing you, were those unrelated police officers also accusing you wrongly?"
"I also thought why the police showed up all of a sudden."
"So it was set up by you!"
That woman said, "Just empty words. Do you have any evidence? No, right? You don't, but we have. That man is the best evidence."
Long Yingqing's expression warped. No wonder Uncle brought Jiang Xiu back even though I told that nothing happened between him and me. So they were waiting for me here. Jiang Xiu, you bastard. You're really my bane.
You first splashed the soup on me in the dining hall then dumped a bucket of shit on me. You embarrassed me in the airplane then I was accused of doing that in the hotel room, and now these people are using it as evidence. What disaster did my, Long Yingqing's ancestor's encounter that we've provoked a demon like you?
"Long Xiuyin, what do you want?"
Long Yingqing raised her pretty brows in anger.
"What do I want?"
"Give me the shares you hold. You family has enjoyed those benefits all these years, so it's time to cough them out. There's so many of us yet your family's shares are a lot higher than the sum of added shares of the others. Do you think this is fair?" Long Xiuyin stated.
"What if I don't do it?"
"Then the news that you were together with this feral man will reach the Lee family. The Lee family will then remove the engagement. Do you think Grandpa can take this hit with his present body condition? I bet he won't be able to. Just in case he passes away… You also know how difficult it is to talk about this matter."
Long Yingqing's face turned deathly pale.
"You…"
Long Xiuyin came beside Long Yingqing and patted her shoulder. "You shouldn't care about it much. You're in the end a girl. Your fiancé's family is the Lee family. Since you're going to get married to him sooner or later, there's no need for you to act so persistent, is there?"
Long Yingqing began to tremble all over.
Jiang Xiu also heard all of it and got a rough idea of Long Yingqing's situation. The elite families had no place for affection, and the waters were deep and murky. The Jiang family was this way, and so was the Long family. So many people schemed to trap a little girl just so they could obtain benefits.
At this moment, Jiang Xiu saw his former self who had entered the Jiang family in the previous life in Long Yingqing. Jiang Xiu wasn't interested in knowing whether she would hand over the shares as these matters were unrelated to him. It was just a coincidence today that he was together with her. It'd have been the same if it were someone else, so he didn't have a guilty conscience.
He walked towards the chair and took a seat. The servant opened a bottle of red wine for him and also prepared cakes which he could eat slowly.
"Mister, our master wants to talk!"
"Hmm?"
Roughly after 45 minutes, that middle-aged man who was Long Yingqing's uncle invited Jiang Xiu to a room. The wind and rain outside had caused the air to become moist and cold. Therefore, he had lit the firewood in the room to heat up the surroundings.
"Take a seat!"
Jiang Xiu sat down halfheartedly.
The man didn't raise his head to look at Jiang Xiu. In his eyes, Jiang Xiu was only an unremarkable little character. "After sitting on the helicopter and coming to a European royal castle like this, you must've made out that my Long family isn't an ordinary family."
Indeed, the Long family was absolutely not an ordinary family.
"It's really something that you didn't get scared. This means your mental strength is pretty high." Ordinary men couldn't remain calm after knowing that their girlfriend's family lived in a villa and drove racing cars, let alone being taken to a royal castle via a helicopter.
Jiang Xiu conversely smiled at him indifferently.
"What did you call me here for?"
The man continued, "You should've guessed it already, so there's no need for me to say it. It'll only put everyone in an embarrassing position. Isn't it better to have good relations? We don't care about you having an affair with Yingqing. You can come to find us if you run into trouble later on, but don't think of getting anything else other than that."
"You're an intelligent man so you ought to know what to do."
"We are just ordinary friends. No, we can't even be considered friends…" It was more accurate to say they were enemies.
The man laughed, "It's indeed nice to have a talk with an intelligent person."
Saying this, he took out a check then pushed it towards Jiang Xiu across the table. Jiang Xiu was really curious what kind of amount this dear brother had put on it.
However, just as he was about to take it, an angry voice came through from behind, "Jiang Xiu, come out for me!"
There was no need to guess the person's identity. It was none other than our Campus Diva Long. She went looking for Jiang Xiu yet couldn't find him. After asking the servants, she found out that her uncle had invited him to have a chat so rushed towards the place and thus looked at the current scene.
At this moment, Long Yingqing was akin to a raging dinosaur. The gaze with which she looked at Jiang Xiu was full of contempt, loathe and hatred which all merged into despise. She grabbed his arm, "Come with me."
Jiang Xiu got taken away by her.
Long Yingqing had never seen such a shameless person in her entire life. Just now, he had really reached out to take that check. She questioned him in an ice-cold tone, "What were you doing there?"
"Your uncle asked me to accompany him for a chat, so I was chatting with him."
"Do you think I am blind? What's that on the table?"
"A check!"
Long Yingqing said, "Jiang Xiu oh Jiang Xiu. Although I thought you were repulsive, I admired the courage you showed when you defended Cheng Lingran, but I never expected you were such a person. Why did you take the check? What qualifications do you have to take it?"
"Shameless man!"
Jiang Xiu replied innocently. "Your uncle gave it to me. When someone gives you money, there's no reason to refuse it, right? Not taking it is actually being shameless."
"You…"
Arguing with a person like Jiang Xiu and talking to him about principles was no better than preaching to dumb ears.
"Jiang Xiu, I'm warning you. I had no kind of relationship with you. Don't think you can take advantage of my family. What qualifications do you even have to take such a check? Since it's raining outside, I won't ask you to leave, but the weather will clear up tomorrow, and you can get the hell out of here then. Never appear before me again! Do you understand? Or else even I don't know what I'll do."
This bastard is my nemesis, it's better to keep him as far as possible.
"We were originally strangers brought together by chance, that's all. I'll leave tomorrow morning, okay? However, I'm penniless, so it'll all be fine if you just lend me a few hundred euros."
Puchi!
Campus Diva Long almost vomited blood!
