22 -22: The Goddess Roars, Entrusting a Major Task_1

Nanxi had been waiting at the school gate for a good ten minutes when Liang Qiaoqiao finally returned in her flashy red MINI.

Just dropped off, now picking up, Nanxi figured Liang Qiaoqiao must be pretty frustrated.

With the car door opened, Nanxi got in.

Liang Qiaoqiao turned her face towards her with a frown, “What on earth happened?

Why didn’t you say anything on the phone?”

Nanxi took a breath, “Start driving first, I’ll tell you on the way…”

…

“You’re saying what?

Our dear uncle, my dear dad, sold our West Street storefront and used the money to prepare dowries for us, planning to marry us off as soon as possible, and then he will go back to the south alone with grandma?”

Liang Qiaoqiao was livid, “Really?

Would he dare to do such a thing?”

Nanxi was taken aback, the various cause and effect relationships she had spent five minutes explaining had been succinctly summed up by Liang Qiaoqiao in one sentence, she appeared to have underestimated Liang Qiaoqiao’s language comprehension ability…

She quickly nodded, saying, “Yes, it’s absolutely true!”

Liang Qiaoqiao frowned, smacked the steering wheel with her hand, and angrily said, “… the old man is really going through a prolonged mid-life crisis!”

Nanxi: “…”

“Indeed, my Mom shouldn’t have left so early.

Who else in this world can control the old man’s insanity?

Is there anyone?”

“Cough…” Nanxi coughed lightly, expressing her understanding of Liang Qiaoqiao’s outburst.

She comforted, “Cousin, you shouldn’t panic just yet.

Uncle just said he has contacted the buyer and agreed on a price, but no formal contract has been signed yet.

So, we can still stop him if we go now!”

Liang Qiaoqiao took a deep breath, turned her head to look at Nanxi – who suddenly felt a series of shivers accompanied by a bad feeling!

Surely enough, Liang Qiaoqiao spoke.

“Nanxi, as you know, I am used to doing as I please.

The old man just can’t control me, nor can I control him.

You, on the other hand, are obedient, sensible, and flawless in character and temperament.

He loves you more than he loves his own daughter …”

“…” So what?

“So, the main mission of persuading the old man falls to you…

Of course, I will assist you from the side!

You’re the backbone, I’m the sidekick.

We will definitely break the old man’s will and make him change his mind!

Don’t worry!”

“…” What is she supposed to be reassured about?!

Nanxi swallowed, giving Liang Qiaoqiao a smile of difficulty, which was mercilessly ignored by Liang Qiaoqiao…

“…” Nanxi.

The car quickly arrived at the entrance of the Gu’s neighborhood, which was located at the northeast end of West Street.

The old, worn-out buildings surrounded an array of food stalls, creating a mini food street…

In other words, you couldn’t drive in.

Liang Qiaoqiao parked the car at a spot near the entrance, asked a security guard named Xiaoqiang to keep an eye on it, then strutted into the area in her seven-centimetre high heels, dragging Nanxi along…

“Liang Youquan, come out!”

The moment they entered, Liang Qiaoqiao roared out, sending Nanxi into a tremble, not knowing how to react!

Liang Youquan, who was practicing calligraphy in the study room, Nanxi’s uncle and Liang Qiaoqiao’s biological father, came out immediately upon hearing her angry yell.

He asked, “What happened, what’s going on…”

Liang Qiaoqiao, hands on hips, stared at Liang Youquan and shouted, “Liang Youquan, tell me, do you want this family or not?

If you don’t, tell me now, and I’ll lend you a vegetable knife to get it over with.

Then I can go apologize to my dead mother, pleading ignorance, and then maybe plead for your forgiveness.

That way, when you meet her in the afterlife, you can do so with some dignity.

What do you say…”
