The School Beauty's Super Rogue-Chapter 279 - 277: Qin Langya’s Duel
Chapter 279: Chapter 277: Qin Langya’s Duel
Qin Langya’s eyes immediately flashed with anger, yet he remained silent, standing still and allowing his son to be humiliated in front of him.
Qin Wentian dared not even dodge, letting the ice bag filled with crushed ice slam solidly onto his forehead, which instantly turned blue and purple.
However, after being hit, Qin Wentian immediately picked up the ice bag respectfully and handed it to Xiao Yu with both hands.
Seeing Qin Wentian’s submissive servant-like appearance, Xiao Yu’s anger subsided a little. He raised his hand and knocked the ice bag out of Qin Wentian’s hands, then said, "Get me a new one. How dare you give me something dirty?"
Instantly, a servant from the Qin Family nervously fetched a brand-new ice bag and delivered it to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu took it and continued discontentedly, "You all claim that Qin Hao is no longer part of your Qin Family. What proof do you have to show this?"
"I think you’re just afraid of taking responsibility, fearful that my father will hold you accountable, withdraw investment, and then your Qin Family will truly be finished!"
Qin Langya took a deep breath and quickly said, "Young Master Xiao, please don’t worry. The relationship between our Qin Family and Qin Hao is known by everyone in Qingshan City. Just a casual inquiry will make it clear to you."
"How could we dare deceive you on such matters? Please be assured that our Qin Family will give you a satisfactory answer regarding this issue!"
Only then did Xiao Yu’s expression slightly ease, but he immediately revealed a sinister and venomous look. He clenched his fist tightly, with a fierce and grim gaze, and gritted his teeth harshly:
"Fine! I’ll give you only three days. In three days, I want Qin Hao to kneel before me!!"
Qin Langya immediately nodded deeply, then slightly bowed and solemnly said, "As you wish, Young Master Xiao!"
At this moment, Qin Hao was happily returning home with Lin Yuhan. Lin Yuhan filled a whole car with large and small bags. Zhao Mengke and Gu Qinyue joyously ran out to help carry them into the house, as many items were bought for the two of them by Lin Yuhan.
Gu Qinyue noticed that Qin Hao’s face was always red, and his eyes were evasive, seemingly trying to avoid Qin Hao. She was also feeling shy about the traces of her nightgown being stretched earlier.
Qin Hao found her very cute and was about to tease her when his phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up and saw it was a call from Fang Zhenwu.
"Hey, Xiaowu, what’s up?"
"Boss, I have something very important to report to you." Fang Zhenwu’s somewhat heavy voice came through the phone.
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao lightly furrowed his brows. He glanced at the three girls who were unloading bags from the car, made a gesture, and walked directly to his room.
"What’s going on, Xiaowu? What is it?"
Fang Zhenwu remained silent for a moment over the phone, then said, "Just now Qin Langya contacted me, asking me to convey to you that in three days, at Moon Lake Riverfront, he wants to duel with you alone and settle everything!"
"He also said this has always been the Qin Family tradition, to resolve everything through force."
Upon hearing about Qin Langya’s challenge to a solo duel, Qin Hao couldn’t help but tightly clutch the phone in his hand!
Duel!
He was well aware of the Qin Family tradition; it was precisely because he was too weak three years ago that he was expelled from the family.
Three years later, he would reclaim everything that belonged to him through a forceful duel!
Qin Hao’s heart surged instantly; the years of entanglement with the Qin Family were finally coming to a resolution in the final moment. Regardless of his seasoned and composed demeanor, he couldn’t help but feel ripples of emotion.
Seeing no response on the other end, Fang Zhenwu quickly called out a few times, "Hey, hey! Boss, are you listening?"
Qin Hao took a deep breath, calmed his inner emotions, and then said to Fang Zhenwu, "Yes, I’m listening."
"You tell Qin Langya that we’ll do as he said. I will definitely attend this duel!"
After speaking, Qin Hao hung up the phone. Inside the room, he sat on a chair by the window, staring at the shadows of the large sycamore trees gently swaying in the breeze outside the villa for a long time in silence.
Soon after Qin Hao agreed to the duel, the news spread rapidly throughout the elite noble families of Qingshan City, fueled by the covert efforts of the Qin Family.
At the Chen Family villa, Chen Yuanzhi stood before Patriarch Chen and reported the news to him. Patriarch Chen was at the desk writing a couplet.
After hearing the news, his wrist slightly trembled, and the final stroke of the last word "hui" in the phrase "conceal one’s brightness and nurture obscurity" suddenly became messy, smearing a large ink stain on the paper.
Patriarch Chen, troubled and upset, casually tossed aside the brush and crumpled up the ruined writing into a ball, tossing it into the trash. He then asked Chen Yuanzhi:
"What’s Qin Hao’s reaction? Did he agree?"
Chen Yuanzhi nodded slightly and replied, "Of course he agreed. Qin Hao and the Qin Family’s grievances this time will likely be thoroughly settled."
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Chen nodded gently, his gaze becoming complex. This duel was not a good thing for the Chen Family, because no matter which side wins, it signifies the end of the conflict.
After pondering for a while, the Chen Family patriarch sighed and said to Chen Yuanzhi, "Regardless of the outcome of the duel, our Chen Family shall continue to act low-key. You may go."
Chen Yuanzhi respectfully agreed and then left. As Chen Yuanzhi left, the Chen Family patriarch sat in the chair, looking dejected, with a bitter smile all over his face.
He remained silent for a long time, then softly said to himself, "Qin Hao, oh Qin Hao, my Chen Family truly misjudged you. Who else could wield such strength to force Qin Langya himself to take action?"
"That is Qin Langya, indeed! The Qin Family is truly remarkable, truly remarkable!"
The sigh echoed softly from Patriarch Chen’s mouth, carried away by the gentle breeze outside, unheard by anyone, nor did anyone comprehend the sadness in his heart.
Meanwhile, as the news spread, Elder Wang of the Wang Family continued to feign illness. The Cheng Family watched from the sidelines, and the noble families of Qingshan City all silently awaited the development of events.
At this time, there was only one person whose concerns were unlike anyone else’s.
This person was Qin Hao’s mother, Ye Quanming.
