Chapter 1325: Please Continue Your Performance
"The Second Elder’s lineage is definitely set to inherit the Hu Family. Although Lady Yan is of direct lineage, firstly she is a woman, and secondly she has been involved in such an unsavory scandal, making it impossible for her to inherit the Hu Family!"
"But as long as Family Head Hu hands over that thing, we can still have a legitimate reason to intervene in Hu Family matters after your death, to protect them somewhat, so they don’t die too miserably!"
"What do you say, Family Head Hu?"
The Sixth Elder showed his true colors completely as he spoke, threatening Hu Zhongtian!
The meaning in his words was very clear, unless he did not care for the lives of Hu Fei and Lady Yan!
Otherwise, he must comply with their demands and hand over that item!
The Sixth Elder didn’t even bother to offer a better promise!
In the past, when negotiating with Hu Zhongtian, they would use Hu Fei’s unconscious state as a reason to offer some protection, preventing the people from the Second Elder’s lineage from bullying him!
Now that Lady Yan has returned, they no longer mention letting her inherit the Hu Family at all!
Instead, they belittle her using past events!
They demand Hu Zhongtian hand over that thing while firmly supporting the Second Elder’s lineage in inheriting the Hu Family!
Anyone can hear the perfunctory and coercive tone in these words!
This Sixth Elder, relying on the fact that Hu Zhongtian’s vital points are all in his hands now, doesn’t bother to conceal anything anymore!
Before, when Lady Yan hadn’t returned, they feared that if they forced too hard, Hu Zhongtian might go for broke and spread the news of that item!
If that happened, the Bai Family would get nothing!
But now... Lady Yan has returned!
And brought back a foolish son!
Given Hu Zhongtian’s guilt and affection for their mother and child, he will surely agree to their demands!
"Otherwise..."
The Sixth Elder smirked coldly, and before Hu Zhongtian could speak, added: "By the way, isn’t there a young man in the Hu Family named Ye Jiu? I heard he’s your grandson’s friend?"
"Our lady wants to invite him to the Bai Family as a guest! Call him out!"
The Sixth Elder said so.
"Oh, looking for me?"
Luo Qingtong hadn’t expected this incident to involve her.
She casually cradled the Little Silver Fox in her arms, her face relaxed, reclining lazily on the broad Taishi Chair.
With one leg slightly bent, utterly audacious and languid.
Upon hearing the Sixth Elder’s words, she raised her eyes and looked at him: "Bai Feng?"
That woman truly has a deep and vicious mind.
She clearly managed the Witchcraft Sect matter flawlessly; there’s no way she could deduce it was her!
Unexpectedly, she wouldn’t let go of the identity of "Ye Jiu"!
Apparently, she’d rather kill the wrong person than let them go!
Luo Qingtong’s lips curled into a faint smile.
She merely speculated casually and could roughly guess Bai Feng’s purpose in "inviting" her over!
Though likely... this time the other party might be disappointed!
"How audacious! You dare address the lady by name!"
The Sixth Elder hadn’t expected the youth sitting in the hall to be Ye Jiu!
This is truly like searching high and low only to find it by fate!
But isn’t the Hu Family father and daughter simply too weak?
Allowing such an ordinary-looking, barely powerful youth to audaciously act brazenly right before their heavy guests in the main hall, showing no respect!
It’s truly pitiful and lamentable!
