Inside the room, Chen Jie frowned.
Jiang Xue's face turned pale. "Mom, they're here. It must be the Zhou family coming to demand someone from Grandpa! I don't want to marry a beast."
"The Zhou family?" Chen Jie was stunned and subconsciously asked.
Wu Li seemed to recall something and sneered at Chen Jie, saying, "That's right! They are like the overlords of Pingcheng, the Zhou family!"
"Country bumpkin, don't think I don't know what you're scheming. You've set your sights on my daughter's beauty. I'll give you a chance. Go find the Zhou family yourself and ask them to break off the engagement. Maybe my daughter will be willing to let you be her lapdog!"
Wu Li was undeniably malicious. She clearly thought Chen Jie was just an ordinary person with no background, yet she wanted him to offend the Zhou family.
This was pushing Chen Jie into a fiery pit.
However, Chen Jie became thoughtful.
He had already met Zhou Linlin and Zhou Wei, and they were indeed beasts. Regardless of how Jiang Xue felt about him, for Jiang Long's sake, he could not let his daughter marry such a person.
He immediately said, "The Zhou family has already been blacklisted by me. They will be finished soon. Just pretend they don't exist."
*Pfft!*
Jiang Xue burst into laughter. "Beggarly bum, if you have the guts, go kneel and beg them to break off the engagement! Do you think your blacklist is the King of Hell's book of life and death? Brain-dead!"
"If you don't have the ability, don't spout nonsense! It will only make people look down on you! With your cowardly demeanor, forget being my lapdog, I won't even let you lick my boots. Go eat my shit behind me!"
Chen Jie's brows furrowed, and he said in a low voice, "Shut up! If you dare to spout nonsense again, I won't mind letting you taste shit!"
"You!" Jiang Xue staggered back two steps, not daring to say more.
In the courtyard outside the house, Jiang Long's forehead veins bulged. He forced out a smile and said humbly, "Abei, Xiao Xue is your cousin, after all. You can't let her marry a beast, can you? How about you talk to your grandfather and have this marriage canceled?"
*Slap!*
Jiang Bei slapped Jiang Long directly across the face.
He pointed at Jiang Long's nose and cursed, "Old waste, stop beating around the bush! If you dare not send your daughter to the Zhou family, I'll cripple you!"
"Abei, you..." Jiang Long covered his face, feeling wronged.
Jiang Bei was his father's only grandson, and his father doted on him immensely. Even when Jiang Bei's father, Jiang Zai Lai, acted up, his own father would scold him.
Therefore, no matter how arrogant Jiang Bei was in front of him, he could not get angry.
"What 'you'? Letting your daughter marry Brother Wei is a blessing she's cultivated for eight lifetimes. You old fogey still dare to refuse? Are you looking to die?"
"If you don't want to send her, why didn't you have a son like me, who is so highly valued?"
"Giving birth to daughters is just bringing in a loss. Jiang Xue is a bastard. If you don't send her away, are you keeping her for the New Year?"
"I, I..." Jiang Bei trembled with anger.
"What 'you'? To tell you the truth, Brother Wei has a strange habit. He likes to share women with his friends! After Jiang Xue marries into the family, she'll definitely be played around with until she's worn out, hehe. But for Jiang Xue, this is also a kind of enjoyment, isn't it? Moreover, it will allow me to marry his sister, Zhou Linlin. What's not to like about that?"
"Also, I found someone to poison your food! It was to prevent you from daring to refuse the marriage. Strange, why aren't you dead yet? It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense!"
Jiang Bei had one hand behind his back and the other extended, forcefully pointing at Jiang Long's chest, making him retreat continuously, while he spoke proudly.
"Beast, I'll beat you to death..." Jiang Long could no longer suppress his anger and directly raised his hand, slapping Jiang Bei.
However, Jiang Bei didn't dodge. Instead, he tilted his face forward and said obsequiously, "Come on, hit me! See if you dare! I'll see if you really dare to lay a hand on me! Old waste, if you don't hit me, I'll look down on you!"
Jiang Long's whole body stiffened!
Their entire fortune was controlled by Jiang Jun. If they defied their father's will, not only would his daughter be ruined, but their entire family would end up on the streets as beggars.
Hit him?
It might feel good for a moment, but he couldn't bear the consequences.
For a moment, Jiang Long's hair seemed to turn white, and he put down his right hand with tears streaming down his face.
"Hit me! I beg you, don't stop! Hit me! If you don't hit me, I'll smash your face! Please! Please hit me quickly! I've been called 'grandpa' by others my whole life, I really want to experience the feeling of being beaten!"
Jiang Bei tilted his face, a smug look on his face, and thrust his hand towards Jiang Long.
At the same time, he clenched his right fist and suddenly swung it hard at Jiang Long's face.
*Slap!*
A dark shadow flashed, and simultaneously a hand swiped towards Jiang Bei's face.
With a crisp sound, Jiang Long lost five teeth, which scattered everywhere, and his eye socket also bled.
He was struck so hard that he spun several times in the air before falling to the ground.
"Chen Jie, you..." Jiang Long turned his head to look at Chen Jie, who had made the move, and was speechless.
Inside the room, Wu Li and Jiang Xue watched this scene through the window in shock, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit a large light bulb.
Was this country bumpkin always so brave?
Didn't he know what Jiang Bei represented in the Jiang family?
Chen Jie retracted his hand and said lightly, "I've never encountered such a despicable request. If I don't fulfill it, I'll feel bad."
"Ahhh... Who is this little punk! I'm going to kill you! Ah... How dare you touch my 'Myriad Venerate Body'!"
Jiang Bei recovered from his shock, a surge of rage rushing to his head. Upon seeing Chen Jie, he immediately lunged at Chen Jie like a madman.
"No matter how many 'venerate bodies' you have, you are all ants in my eyes!"
Chen Jie's gaze turned cold. He directly grabbed Jiang Bei by the neck and slapped him more than ten times.
"No..." Jiang Long tried to stop him in horror.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Seeing that Chen Jie dared to hit him, Jiang Bei was so enraged that smoke seemed to billow from his forehead. He roared, "Old waste, you're finished! You traitors! How dare you let an outsider lay a hand on me! I swear, after Brother Wei marries Jiang Xue, he will torture her to death! And your family! I will definitely report you to Grandpa..."
"Is that so? Before you report, I will make you experience the suffering of the mortal world!"
Chen Jie's expression turned cold, and he increased the force of his grip.
Instantly, Jiang Bei's once fair and handsome face was slapped to the point of being bloody and mangled, like a dog's head.
"Let go of me, quickly let go of me!" Jiang Bei, whose consciousness was already blurred from the slaps, finally felt fear.
"Scram!"
Chen Jie kicked him. Jiang Bei, like a dead dog, was kicked flying to the ground.
After a long pause, he stood up, looked at Chen Jie, and suddenly realized, "It's you! You are that bastard who offended the Zhou family! No wonder the Zhou family asked our Jiang family to hand over the person! So you were hiding here!"
"Hahaha... Old waste, you're doomed! This guy broke Brother Wei's legs! You harbored an enemy of the Zhou family! You can't escape! I advise you to immediately take Jiang Xue and this bastard to Grandpa to beg for forgiveness, and you might still have a way out! Don't say I didn't warn you!"
With that said, Jiang Bei stumbled out and drove away.
