Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 704 - Once Were Out of Jindu I Will

Chapter 704: Chapter 704: Once We’re Out of Jindu, I Will Kill You! [Third Update] Chapter 704: Chapter 704: Once We’re Out of Jindu, I Will Kill You! [Third Update] “Do you think you’re in a position to negotiate terms with me now?”

Previously, if Li Xiaoyao dared to say such words, he would have been laughed at and seen as arrogant.

But now, when he spoke them again, people felt it was within his rights given his strength.

One’s confidence allows them to do certain things and say certain words.

Li Xiaoyao was undoubtedly one of those brimming with confidence, daring to speak and act even in the face of Zhen Jiangjun.

“What exactly do you want?” Zhen Jiangjun’s body trembled with rage.

Li Xiaoyao himself didn’t know what he wanted, the other’s status meant he couldn’t truly do anything to him, but the humiliation the Li Family had suffered must be avenged!

...

“I won’t kill you,” he began, his thin lips parting to utter the shocking words, “but only within Jindu!”

At this, the entire room was stunned!

What did that mean?

Did it mean outside of Jindu he would kill him?

How could he say such a thing? Didn’t he realize who Zhen Jiangjun was?

Zhen Jiangjun shook with fury, and if looks could kill, Li Xiaoyao would have been sliced to pieces long ago.

All eyes refocused on Zhen Jiangjun, but the old man did not respond for a long time.

Li Xiaoyao didn’t care whether he responded or not. As far as he was concerned, once he had spoken, no one could change his words. If Zhen Jiangjun dared to appear outside of Jindu, he would fulfill his promise made today.

Turning around, he took Nangong Ling’er’s delicate hand, his voice full of warmth as it reached her ears, “Let’s go.”

Nangong Ling’er looked up, and there was Li Xiaoyao clad in a black coat, handsome as a Celestial God, his deep black eyes alluring one to fall into them inadvertently.

Her cheeks flushed, and her shy gaze made Li Xiaoyao’s heart flutter.

Descending from the stage, the two approached Zhen Jiangjun’s table, ignoring him and addressing Nangong Xuan and his wife, “Uncle Nangong, my father awaits you at home. Will you come back with me, or do you prefer to return to the family first?”

Nangong Xuan looked at the man before him, feeling greatly pleased.

He had thought the Nangong Family would fall into decline, who could have anticipated such a dramatic turn of events today?

“You and Ling’er head back first; I’ll make a trip to the family and then follow immediately, give my regards to your father,” boomed Nangong Xuan’s voice, resonating like a release of pent-up emotion.

“I will pass on the message,” Li Xiaoyao said with a slight smile.

Nangong Xuan then instructed, “Ling’er, go back to the Li Family with Xiaoyao, and be respectful. For things you can handle yourself, don’t trouble the Li Family. I don’t want others to think that I, Nangong Xuan, have failed to teach you properly.”

“Understood, Dad,” Nangong Ling’er nodded with her face colored red. She was dressed in a bright red, standing next to Li Xiaoyao in his black coat, appearing to be a perfect match.

Li Xiaoyao laughed heartily, “Uncle Nangong worries too much, the elders at home will surely like Ling’er.”

Nangong Xuan and his wife exchanged glances, seeing the same thought in each other’s eyes.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if these two could be together?

Both coming from the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country, one the eldest son, the other the eldest daughter; moreover, their own daughter was so taken with Li Xiaoyao, and judging by Li Xiaoyao’s attitude, it seemed not bad at all.

If these two could be together, they truly would be a match made in heaven.

Thinking this, the lady took her daughter’s hand, “Ling’er, on the way to the Li Family, pay more attention to Xiaoyao. Boys are careless and sloppy and not always meticulous.”

“I know, Mom.” Ling’er was not slow on the uptake; on the contrary, her mind was subtle, and she immediately guessed the meaning behind her mother’s words.

She felt a mix of shyness and excitement.

Li Xiaoyao coming here to snatch a bride today already conveyed a lot of signals. She felt that Brother Li must like her, right? Or at least she hoped so.

Yet, she still felt somewhat unsure.

But what could be done about it? It’s just that this rascal, Big Brother Li, is so outstanding that it always seems like he’s not short of women by his side.

What if he already has a main squeeze? Am I becoming the other woman?

I’ve always despised the other woman, so why can’t I bring myself to give up?

If I could be his woman, even if he had other women, it seems like I could accept that.

Huh, how have I become like this, the very person I’ve always hated?

Li Xiaoyao and Nangong Yin, the couple, simply watched as Nangong Ling’er’s face contorted with conflict, shaking her head and then blushing, unable to guess what she was thinking.

Nangong Yin gave a wry smile. His daughter had grown up. He decided to let her handle her own affairs.

He casually took out an ancient jade from his Storage Ring and placed it on the table in front of Zhen Jiangjun. Nangong Yin’s tone was casual yet firm, “The heirloom of the Zhen family should stay with you. My Nangong family cannot accept such a token.”

Everyone turned to look at Zhen Jiangjun upon seeing this. His anger, which he had managed to suppress, flared up again, his cheeks burning red.

“Let’s go.”

Li Xiaoyao’s voice broke through Ling’er’s introspective world. She let out a light cry of “Ah,” then saw the three people’s strange looks. Her cheeks reddened adorably, irresistible to anyone who might want to pinch them.

Many men around her were charmed by her, their gazes electric.

The men enviously looked at Li Xiaoyao, wishing they could snatch Ling’er from his hands and cuddle her in their arms, but unfortunately, they only dared to think about it. If they really tried, the place would be stained red with blood today.

The trio headed toward the door, where Nangong Xuan had been standing from the start, watching everything Li Xiaoyao did. His heart was beyond shocked.

Suddenly, a figure emerged, blocking Li Xiaoyao’s path.

Everyone’s heart jumped, thinking that this boy was tired of living.

The man who stepped forward was Zhou Jue. He dared not wait any longer, for if Li Xiaoyao truly left, where would he find him again?

Li Xiaoyao felt this man seemed familiar, and after a moment’s thought, he remembered having seen him a few times at the Ren family in Zhu Island City.

“Is there something you need?” Li Xiaoyao asked, mostly normal when there was no slaughter.

Zhou Jue felt immense pressure. After all, the young man before him, of the same age as Zhou Jue, wielded the power to decide his life or death.

“Mr. Li, I am Zhou Jue from the Zhou family in Jindu. Zhou Chihai is my grandfather,” Zhou Yu introduced himself concisely, hitting only the key points.

A murmur of surprised exclamations arose around them.

“Zhou Chihai? The Zhou Chihai who was made a junior general at the age of 38?”

“This young chap from the Zhou family isn’t simple at all, daring to strike up a conversation with Li Xiaoyao under these circumstances. Isn’t he afraid of getting flattened?”

“Risks and opportunities go hand in hand. The highest the Zhou family has reached is junior general, and without any special opportunities, that’s pretty much the ceiling for their lifetime. But this kid from the Zhou family sure is something. He’s got guts.”

The guests, all sharp and scheming, immediately understood the significance of Zhou Jue’s action.

“Zhou Chihai? Never heard of him.” Li Xiaoyao didn’t give face at all and asked, “What do you want?”

Anybody else, and Zhou Jue would’ve lost his temper by now, but against Li Xiaoyao, he dared not.

To such a significant figure, being unfamiliar with the Zhou family was normal. His introduction was not to brag, but merely to establish familiarity.

“Mr. Li, I wonder if you might find the time to meet with my grandfather? The time and place can be set by you. My grandfather has always wanted to meet you, but never had the chance. Last time, when I returned from Zhu Island City, I mentioned you, and he has been thinking of you ever since.”

This attitude pleased Li Xiaoyao, at least it sounded good to him.

Considering the current situation, it would be inevitable for Li Xiaoyao to meet with the higher-ups eventually. Using Zhou Jue as a mediator would be acceptable.

“One hour from now, wait for me in the main hall.”

He left those words behind as he and the others departed.

Watching Li Xiaoyao’s retreating figure, Zhou Jue inwardly cheered yes, and immediately picked up his phone to contact his grandfather.
