Chapter 56: Luxury Motorcade
Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Luxury Motorcade
"I have been blind and didn’t recognize a great person like you. I entertained thoughts I shouldn’t have. I’ll transfer the four million to you right now, I beg for your forgiveness." Just moments ago, Tian Lijun, who was extremely arrogant, was now kneeling at Xu Ke’s feet, kowtowing without caring about his image, even though Xu Ke hadn’t said a word yet.
The bewildered mother of Tian also joined Tian Lijun in kowtowing to Xu Ke, the sound of their heads hitting the ground was enough to make one’s teeth ache, "Stop it."
"You can keep that money, I don’t need you to return it. Just remember your promise and don’t trouble the Yang family again."
"Absolutely, absolutely, I swear I’ll avoid Yang Hui in the future, and I won’t disturb them at all." Tian Lijun swore, holding up three fingers.
"Just remember what you said today, but if I find out that you’re going back on your word..." Xu Ke didn’t finish the sentence but looked at Tian Lijun kneeling on the ground with eyes full of endless disdain, leaving him to imagine the consequences.
"No, no, I definitely won’t go back on my word, I swear."
Having received Tian Lijun’s assurance, Xu Ke withdrew his gaze and no longer looked at this mother and son, instead turning his attention to Tian Xiajuan, watching her shakily sign her name on the severance letter.
"Xiajuan, will you blame me?" Yang Hui asked cautiously, knowing this was a big decision to sever familial bonds, and neither side had asked for her opinion before making the decision, which made Yang Hui feel somewhat apologetic to Tian Xiajuan.
"I don’t blame you, I heard everything my family did from inside. They never really considered me family anyway. Although they raised me, that more than four million is enough to repay them for raising me. I just hope you won’t despise me." Having this scene occur at her wedding, Tian Xiajuan felt both cold and pained in her heart, and she couldn’t even lift her head when facing Yang Hui.
Yang Hui sensed Tian Xiajuan’s low spirits. Not knowing what sweet words to say, he just held her silently, pressing her face to his sturdy shoulder. His steady and powerful heartbeat transmitted through the fabric to Tian Xiajuan’s ears, calming her originally restless heart.
The newlywed couple embraced in the center of the courtyard, and no one spoke to interrupt this tender moment. Just then, the sound of car horns came from outside the courtyard. Curious onlookers near the gate peeked out and were almost dazzled by the sight of a row of Lamborghinis, from which burly men in black suits emerged, forming a long line that walked into the courtyard, causing those at the gate to quickly step back a few paces to make way.
Twelve men in black suits marched in unison and stopped in front of Xu Ke, "Hello, Mr. Xu. The cars you requested have been brought here and parked outside. Please give your instructions." The leader bowed to Xu Ke, and all those behind him followed suit, bowing as well, presenting a formidable and orderly display.
Tian Lijun’s earlier behavior combined with the arrival of these men in black suits elevated Xu Ke’s status in everyone’s mind. If there were any who dared to view Xu Ke with ambitious and greedy eyes before, now they dared not even look at him, fearing that a careless act might displease him.
As for Tian Lijun and his mother, kneeling on the ground, they had already turned into quails, cowering in silence, afraid that Xu Ke might say something detrimental to them.
"Act as wedding car drivers for the day." Xu Jie’s impeccable handling of the situation brought a smile to Xu Ke’s lips. He instructed the twelve men, who, after hearing his command, bowed to Xu Ke once more before retreating back to their cars along the path they had arrived, executing the process with seamless efficiency and a hint of military discipline.
Even though everyone already knew that Xu Ke was not simple, such a grand spectacle still left them momentarily dazed.
Seeing the still dazed people, Xu Ke snapped his fingers in front of Yang Hui, "Snap out of it, get in the car, or we’ll miss the good timing." Xu Ke walked towards the waiting Rolls Royce outside the door, and the others, seeing this, cheered and followed along, whether intentionally or unintentionally, not a single person invited the Tian family to get in the car. noveldrama
The courtyard, previously cramped due to the many guests, now appeared empty with the departure of the crowd. Hearing the cars gradually fade away, Tian Lijun finally relaxed his tense nerves and only then felt the pain in his knees from kneeling, collapsing onto the ground, while the elderly mother beside him, covered in sweat, looked even more pitiful.
After witnessing the display of Xu Ke’s wealth and power, Tian Mother’s heart was filled with regret, to the point where it overwhelmed the motherly love she had for Tian Lijun. She reached out and viciously pushed Tian Lijun, her eyes brimming with tears, "It’s all your fault. If you weren’t greedy and wanted to marry Xiajuan off to someone else, if you hadn’t tied her up, we wouldn’t have severed ties with Xiajuan, nor would we have lost such a strong support. You wretched debt collector."
As Tian Mother cried and hit Tian Lijun, he flung her aside with a single swipe, scraping her palm against the rough sand and drawing blood. Before she could unleash another wave of wailing, she was silenced by the menacing look on Tian Lijun’s face, scared to the point where she held back all her cries.
"Instead of wasting time nagging me endlessly, why not hurry and pack your things?" At this point, Tian Lijun showed none of the cowardice he displayed in front of Xu Ke, appearing tough and unyielding.
"What do you mean, where are we going?" Seeing Tian Lijun’s expression, Tian Mother forgot her anger and quickly grabbed his wrist to ask.
"We can’t stay in Luocheng anymore, I’ll take you to Yuzhou. We’ll sell this house and use the money to live over there."
"Why? Aren’t we living well here?" Tian Mother asked, puzzled.
"Living well, my foot. Do you want to live or hold onto this house? When the wedding is over and Baitang comes for us, we’ll die for nothing. If you can’t bear to leave this crappy house, then stay here, but I won’t care if you die. If you want to live, listen to me. If you’re not out by five in the afternoon, I’ll leave without waiting for you." With that, Tian Lijun didn’t wait for Tian Mother’s reaction, hurriedly got up, dusted himself off, and headed towards his room, leaving the cursing Tian Mother behind.
