Chapter 767 767: You've Been Fooled, Haven't You?
Song Hua Jun walked ahead.
Qin Heng and Song Ningran followed behind and quickly returned to her home. As for those who had come with them, they had been scared witless long before and didn't dare to come any closer.
"We've arrived, this is my home." Song Ningran pointed to the two-story brick and tile house ahead, smiling as she said, "I've even managed to save quite a bit of money this past year and sent it home to build this new house!"
"Young Master Qin, we've arrived." The look Song Hua Jun gave Qin Heng still contained a hint of fear. In his eyes, Qin Heng was already like an Immortal.
Such an Immortal had appeared here all of a sudden. His intentions were unclear. Surely, it couldn't be for his daughter, right? After all, this was an Immortal!
"Back so soon?"
Just then, a middle-aged woman in her forties walked out from the house. She glanced at Qin Heng, sneered, and said, "Dressed up to the nines, I see. No wonder you could deceive our Ran Ran. Alright, you can leave now!"
This woman was Song Ningran's mother, named Chen Li.
"What are you saying!?" Song Hua Jun turned pale with shock upon hearing this, rushed over, and said with utmost seriousness, "Apologize, apologize to Young Master Qin immediately! Right now!"
"What?" Chen Li was stunned upon hearing this, looked at Song Hua Jun incredulously and said, "Have you gone mad, Song Hua Jun? What are you talking about? You want me to apologize to this nobody!?"
SLAP!
Song Hua Jun slapped Chen Li across the face, stared at her with wide eyes, and said, "It seems you're the one who's gone mad, to dare speak to Young Master Qin that way. Go apologize to Young Master Qin immediately!"
"You hit me!? You actually dared to hit me!??" Chen Li looked at Song Hua Jun as if she'd seen a ghost, utterly shocked, shaking all over with anger, her face ashen. She said through clenched teeth,
"For this good-for-nothing Young Master Qin, you actually dared to hit me! After all these years, it's always been me who hits you, and now you dare to hit me? I must see for myself what he's really made of!"
In the Song family, on regular days, it was Chen Li who called the shots.
Even though Song Hua Jun was the head of the family and the main support, he always sided with Chen Li. This matchmaking for Song Ningran had also been decided by Song Hua Jun after listening to Chen Li's wishes.
"Step aside!" Chen Li pushed Song Hua Jun away, walked up to Qin Heng, looked him up and down, and sneered, "Tell me, you must've spent a pretty penny to rent this outfit, right, just to deceive us?"
Rent??
Song Ningran was startled upon hearing this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, saying, "Mom, you must be mistaken. The clothes, shoes, and watch Qin Heng is wearing were all bought with his own money. How could they be rented?"
"Heh, bought?" Chen Li scoffed and looked at Song Ningran as if she was looking at a fool, saying, "Silly girl, you've been fooled by him. I recognize these brands of clothing and shoes, and that watch. Altogether, they must cost at least over a million! How could they be real!"
"What are you talking about! How could Young Master Qin's belongings be fake?" Song Hua Jun also ran over, barring Chen Li's way, and said, "This Young Master Qin is like an Immortal; don't make a scene without reason!"
"I see you know nothing!" Chen Li huffed coldly, no longer paying attention to Song Hua Jun, and pointing at Qin Heng, she said, "You can leave now! Don't come back!"
"Mom, how can you be like this?" Song Ningran frowned and said, "Qin Heng came here to help me. Please don't act like this. I really don't want to meet that Young Master Li."
"What!?" Chen Li's voice shot up as she exclaimed, "Ran Ran, have you been bewitched by this boy? Young Master Li is the third son from the Lis in the city! That's the Lis, a distinguished family with centuries of heritage!"
"If Ran Ran does not wish to see him, then there's no need to do so," Qin Heng said calmly. "In this world, no one can force her against her will."
"Heh." Chen Li scoffed and glanced at Qin Heng, saying, "Don't give me that. All talk and no action. Do you even know who Young Master Li is?
That's a real aristocrat, not some upstart like you trying to look more important than you are. Do you understand? With Young Master Li's status, a flick of his finger could crush you!"
"Ran Ran, you decide," Qin Heng said, too lazy to waste more words, and turned directly to Song Ningran.
"Mom, here's the situation," Song Ningran explained to Chen Li. "Actually, Qin Heng is the son of the CEO of Daqin Group. His family's assets are worth over a trillion, and he himself is an extremely powerful Martial Artist. This so-called Young Master Li is not even close to matching him."
"Huh??" After hearing this, Chen Li looked dumbfounded, then burst into laughter and said, "Ran Ran, it seems you've really been deceived. What Daqin Group? What trillion in assets? You've been completely taken for a ride by this guy!"
She still didn't believe what Song Ningran said.
After all, in her view, both the Daqin Group and powerful Martial Artists were things of legend, existing only in TV reports; it was impossible for them to actually show up in their lives. Song Ningran must have been tricked!
"Chen Li!" Song Hua Jun was really anxious now. He was afraid and shouted, "Apologize! Apologize! You must apologize to Young Master Qin right now!"
He was truly terrified!
In his eyes, Qin Heng was practically like an Immortal. With Chen Li being so rude, no one could guarantee he wouldn't take action!
He remembered what happened back at the village entrance! The matchmaker who had come to propose a marriage had merely been glanced at by Qin Heng, and she was sent flying backward, vomiting blood and falling unconscious. That scene was still seared into Song Hua Jun's mind.
THUD!
Under extreme fear, Song Hua Jun knelt directly on the ground before Qin Heng and said, "Young Master Qin, I'm sorry, so very sorry. Chen Li, she failed to recognize your greatness. Please spare her!"
"Dad! What are you doing?" Song Ningran was stunned and quickly tried to pull Song Hua Jun up.
She could have never imagined that Qin Heng merely stunning the matchmaker to assert his dominance would scare Song Hua Jun to such an extent.
"Have you lost your mind!" Chen Li was also frightened by Song Hua Jun's behavior. She mumbled to herself, then took another careful look at Qin Heng, hesitated, and said, "Alright, alright, come on in for now."
Having said that, she turned away and headed towards the kitchen, adding, "I'll go heat up some food for you. Just make do with it."
"Dad, please get up." Song Ningran helped Song Hua Jun to his feet and said, feeling both amused and exasperated, "Dad, you don't have to be afraid. Qin Heng is really easy-going."
"That's right," Qin Heng nodded and smiled.
"..." Song Hua Jun remained silent, not saying a word.
In his heart, Qin Heng was still an incredibly powerful Immortal. Even though Song Ningran had said otherwise, it wouldn't change his deeply ingrained impression anytime soon.
"Let's go inside," Song Ningran sighed helplessly. There was nothing much she could do about the situation right now; they would just have to explain more and spend more time together.
Chen Li came out of the kitchen and saw Song Ningran leading Qin Heng and Song Hua Jun into the house. A cold smile appeared on her face, and she took out her cellphone and made a call.
"Hello, is this Butler Li of the Lis? This is Song Ningran's mother, Chen Li. Please send someone over quickly to handle the situation here. She's back, but she brought a guy with her!
Before, we had already arranged for her to be Young Master Li's match, and we absolutely cannot let this kid mess it up! Alright, that's settled then!"
