Chapter 364 Ximen Yuqing's Anger

"Sigh, I never thought that my husband would be so heartless; he even conspired with those bastards to kill Brother Zhen." Ximen Yuqing was talking to herself as she packed her belongings, for she was furious and disappointed with Chen Hu after their daughter told her everything. "Even though I can't accept her having a relationship with Li'er because they are blood cousins, I know that Zhiyi must be dejected now, especially since she loved him deeply. However, he rejected her twice because of her father's evil deeds, so I have to return to Beijing to accompany her."

*Crack...*

Chen Hu, who looked drunk, frowned when he entered the room. "Where are you going? Why are you packing your things?"

Ximen Yuqing didn't answer his questions and continued packing, which made her husband even more angry, and he approached her before throwing her on the bed.

Chen Hu did not stop there, and he strangled her neck. "I asked you, so you should answer me, Bitch!"

"Humph!" Ximen Yuqing snorted at him. "What will you do to me if I don't answer you? Do you want to kill me like Brother Zhen?"

Chen Hu was taken back for a moment, but he immediately denied it. "Are you crazy for accusing me like that? Brother Zhen is my blood brother; I can't possibly kill him."

"Is that so?" Ximen Yuqing glared fiercely at him. "Have you forgotten that our daughter is in China now? Have you forgotten that Qiu'er is President Wang's daughter?"

Instantly, Chen Hu fell silent after hearing his wife's questions, and his grip on her neck loosened.

Sensing that, Ximen Yuqing seized the opportunity to get away from her husband, and she furiously shouted at him. "Aren't you going to deny it? Or are you unable to deny it? Heh! Zhiyi contacted me earlier and told me everything, and Qiu'er also corroborated her words. I didn't expect that you would be so vicious! Brother Zhen and Sister Qingzhu are very kind to us, but you actually killed him for the sake of wealth!"

Seeing her husband remaining silent, Ximen Yuqing quickly finished packing, and Chen Hu did not stop her again.

Ximen Yuqing then walked out, but she stopped for a moment and spoke. "I feel regretful because I found out everything too late, and I should have suspected you a long time ago. Back then, our family's finances weren't very good, but you suddenly brought me here, and I stupidly believed your explanations. I will go back to China to see Sister Qingzhu and beg her forgiveness, and I will also go to Brother Zhen's grave to apologize."

After Ximen Yuqing left their house, Chen Hu sat limp on the bed and cursed. "Bastard! All this must have happened because of that little bastard! I hope Matthew succeeds in killing him."

Two old men were sitting opposite each other playing Chinese chess, and a middle-aged woman accompanied them.

At first, Tang Wan went to see her father to discuss the situation of Long Aotian, who was in prison, but Luo Jingtian also visited her father and played chess with him, so she waited and listened to their conversation.

However, Tang Wan frowned when Luo Jingtian discussed his purpose in coming to see his father. "Old Tang, I need your help to pressure Liu Zhen to hand over Liu Ling'er to me."

"Hmm?" Old Tang's hand stopped in midair while holding a chess piece, and he raised his eyebrows at him. "Do you want to kill me and destroy my family? You should also already know that Liu Zhen is Chen Li's future father-in-law, and you still ask me to suppress him. Besides, I got information that Liu Ling'er is close to that madman, and she also collaborated with him as an advertising star for his pharmaceutical products, which were just released two days ago."

"Uncle Luo, I know that Ling'er is beautiful, and her beauty can blind people's eyes, but you should give up on getting her." Tang Wan also tried to advise Luo Jingtian. "Her closeness to Chen Li is not just business partners; their relationship is more than that. For the sake of your life, you should stop trying to pressure Uncle Liu, or you will definitely die at his hands for harassing the people closest to him, especially since he's not a forgiving person."

"Tch!" Luo Jingtian gritted his teeth and glared at the two, but he didn't say anything else and left them directly.

Old Tang could only shake his head, and he then asked his daughter. "Did you come here to talk about Aotian?"

"Yes." Tang Wan replied with a nod. "Can you get Aotian out of prison?"

Old Tang sighed heavily before answering his daughter. "The situation in the government is still very chaotic now, as Tian Wang wants to overhaul the order that has existed for so many years, and he will reduce the portion of authority of all families, so I can't do that for now. However, you don't need to worry about Aotian, and I've asked several of my acquaintances to protect him in prison, so nothing bad will happen to him."

Tang Wan felt a little relieved upon hearing that. "What do you think will happen to our country? Do you think the situation will get better with the changes that Tian Wang will implement?"

"Yes." Old Tang answered confidently. "For now, Chen Li has taken care of all those troublesome rats, and only two families of them are left now. Ma Teng had already contacted me before, and he decided to accept the situation. As for the Mo family, they are fleeing to America and distance themselves from us, but I'm sure they will return to this country soon."

"Do you think they still dare to act like in the past?" Tang Wan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't have a definite answer to that." Old Tang sipped the tea in his cup and continued. "Mo Long has very big ambitions, and Mo Ling's ambitions are much bigger than his father's, so I still don't know about their plans for the future, and we can only wait for them to come back first to find out everything."

After they talked about some other things, Tang Wan directly left her father's house, and she went to visit her son in prison.

A few hours later,

Mayumi Keiko is helping Chen Li to dress up, for they will attend an important meeting, and many important people from several countries will attend the meeting, including several acquaintances from China.

"This is the first time I have seen you wearing a formal suit, and you are much more handsome in this black suit." Mayumi Keiko spoke as she admired her husband's appearance.

Chen Li smiled when he heard that, and he pulled Mayumi Keiko into his arms before kissing her briefly. "You are also much prettier than usual, and I'm sure that those men won't be able to take their eyes off you, my lovely star."

"Ha ha." Mayumi Keiko let out a soft laugh and wrapped her arms around Chen's neck. "Even so, you will be the luckiest man among them because I will always be by your side, and they will definitely want to eat you alive later, especially that Saito."

"Heh." Chen Li let out a soft snort. "Even though I don't know for sure about Saito's strength, I'm sure that the current me is much stronger than him, especially if I use my dragon transformation, so I don't think too much about him."

"Well, that's true." Mayumi Keiko answered with a nod of agreement. "In fact, I have fought with Saito once, and I can confirm that his strength is not comparable to that of a cultivator at the Soul Realm, so you can defeat him easily. However, we still don't know about the strength of the representatives of the demons who will be present at the meeting, so we should still be on guard against them."

"You're right." Chen Li then took Mayumi Keiko's hand. "Even though I'm confident in my abilities, it would be better if we remained alert, especially since some demons have unique abilities."

After that, Chen Li led his wife out of the room, and Shiori Aya and Akira were waiting for them in the living room. "Like a mother, like a daughter. You and Keiko are both beautiful, mother-in-law."

"Humph!" Shiori Aya snorted softly after hearing that. "I'm too old, so my beauty can't compare to my daughter's."

"You're wrong about that; age is just a number, and age cannot erode natural beauty." Chen Li denied her words. "Besides, there are a few sayings 'aging like fine wine', 'wine improves with age', and 'the older the wine, the more delicious it tastes'."

Not only Shiori Aya was stunned after hearing that, but Mayumi Keiko and Akira were also stunned by her words.

"Ouch!" Suddenly, Chen Li screamed in pain after Mayumi Keiko stomped his feet hard, and she also immediately pulled his ears hard. "Ouch... wife... let go of my ears..."

"Do you also intend to eat my mother?" Mayumi Keiko asked with sharp glared. "Otherwise, you wouldn't say such things to her, right?"

"Haha." Chen Li laughed wryly. "Hey, I was just praising my mother-in-law, and I don't have any such intentions towards her."

"Humph!" Mayumi Keiko snorted at him. "You are a lustful dragon, so I don't believe your words!"

Shiori Aya just smiled at their behavior. "Let's go now, or we'll be late."
