Chapter 94: Jiang Che Gets His Wish, The Docile Lingling

“Who are you? By what right do you meddle in our Zhou family’s affairs?” A woman in her twenties stood up, retorting with displeasure. Since when did the Zhou family’s matters need interference from an outsider?

“Slap!” Before Jiang Che could respond, the bodyguard behind him slapped the woman. “How dare you be disrespectful to Young Master Jiang, you deserve it!”

“You…” The woman, covering her aching cheek, glared at Jiang Che with resentful eyes. After being slapped, she quieted down, not causing any more commotion.

“No one wants to come forward, huh?” Jiang Che sneered and then turned to Zhou Lingxi. “Tell me, who all have bullied you? Today, I’ll help you get revenge.”

“Forget it, they are all small matters. We are family, let’s not hurt our harmony.” Zhou Lingxi smiled and shook her head, feeling content that Jiang Che had stood up for her today by hitting the old woman.

“That’s not acceptable. You are my woman, how can you be bullied?” Jiang Che raised an eyebrow, knowing that Zhou Lingxi might not speak up, but she must be harboring some grievances.

After all, being mocked for three years and unable to retaliate, she’s not a pushover like Xiao Fan. How could she not harbor any resentment?

“Who is your woman…” Zhou Lingxi’s face suddenly flushed red, and she coyly glanced at Jiang Che.

“Don’t worry about them retaliating against you. With me here, no one can bully you. From today onwards, your father will be the head of the Zhou family. You don’t have to fear anyone.” Jiang Che spoke to Zhou Lingxi in a gentle tone.

“Tell me, who all have bullied you…”

“Um…” Zhou Lingxi nodded, trying to control the tears in her eyes, and listed a long string of names.

Women remember those who have wronged them, so how could she not care?

She had never spoken up before because no one had her back, but with Jiang Che’s promise, she no longer needed to hold back. It is said that a woman’s strength comes from the man beside her. f𝐫e𝚎𝘄eb𝚗o𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝚘m

If you make her feel safe, even if she is an iceberg, she will slowly melt for you. Zhou Lingxi rarely cried, not because she was strong, but because she never felt safe.

At this moment, she cried tears of happiness, for she had found someone willing to shelter her from the storms.

“Zhou Jing, Zhou Yuan, Zhou Fei…”

Jiang Che coldly looked at the Zhou family members standing before him, repeating the names Zhou Lingxi had mentioned. “Aren’t you willing to come forward?”

“I… I am Zhou Yuan, I was wrong… I shouldn’t have mocked Lingxi before…” Unable to bear Jiang Che’s scrutinizing gaze, Zhou Yuan timidly stepped out of the crowd, continuously apologizing to Zhou Lingxi.

“Turn him into a waste!” Jiang Che looked at Uncle Fu and coldly uttered five words.

Uncle Fu nodded and stepped forward, standing in front of Zhou Yuan. He stomped on Zhou Yuan’s leg, and as a crisp sound of breaking bones echoed, Zhou Yuan screamed and passed out.

“Who else?! If you don’t come forward now, I will kill all of you!”

Hearing Jiang Che’s chilling words, the Zhou family members were almost scared witless. None doubted Jiang Che’s seriousness, seeing his ruthless actions, they knew he was not to be trifled with.

“Jiang… young master, please spare us…

“We were foolish and shouldn’t have angered Lingxi…”

A few more people came forward from the crowd, falling to their knees and begging for mercy.

“Render them useless.” Jiang Che coldly glanced at them and ordered the bodyguards.

“Understood, Young Master Jiang.” The bodyguards responded and moved towards the Zhou family members, starting to beat them mercilessly.

“Ah… Grandpa, stop hitting…”

A series of blood-curdling screams filled the air, chilling everyone present.

“From today onwards, Lingxi’s father will be the new head of the Zhou family. Does anyone object?”

Jiang Che coldly swept his gaze over the Zhou family members.

“We have no objections, but if Dewei takes over like this, it might be hard to convince everyone.” A portly middle-aged man stepped forward, Lingxi’s uncle, one of the few who were on good terms with her family.

“Young Master Jiang is our head’s grandson. Isn’t that enough?” The bodyguard coldly glanced at the middle-aged man.

“Who is your head?”

“Su Changfeng of the Su family!” As the bodyguard spoke, everyone from the Zhou family gasped in shock.

Who didn’t know Su Changfeng in the Imperial Capital? As the head of one of the four major families, Su Changfeng had a significant reputation.

If Jiang Che was Su Changfeng’s grandson, then no one would dare object to his words. Because opposing Jiang Che meant opposing Su Changfeng!

“We… have no objections…” The middle-aged man swallowed hard, trying to suppress his shock.

“Do you have any objections?” Jiang Che then turned his gaze to the old lady, whimpering on the ground.

The old lady looked at Jiang Che in terror and shook her head frantically, indicating no objections.

If she had known Jiang Che’s identity earlier, she wouldn’t have dared to be so presumptuous. Now, just being alive was good enough, and she dared not have any opinions.

“Very well, I announce, from today onwards, Lingxi’s father, Zhou Dewei, will be the head of the Zhou family.”

And so, what was supposed to be a pleasant birthday banquet turned into a one-man tribunal led by Jiang Che.

After handling the matters, Jiang Che took Zhou Lingxi’s soft hand and walked outside. Zhou Lingxi let him lead her, not resisting, docile like a little wife.

“Jiang Che… you…” At the doorstep, Xiao Fan blocked Jiang Che’s way.

Jiang Che frowned and slapped him away again. This time, Xiao Fan didn’t fight back also and he passed out on the spot.

Watching Jiang Che and Zhou Lingxi walk away, Zhou Dewei was still in a daze. He had become the head just like that? It felt like a dream!

Imperial Capital International Hotel, Presidential Suite.

Jiang Che, bored, smoked while Zhou Lingxi was freshening up in the bathroom.

Ten minutes later, seeing Zhou Lingxi dressed in a JK skirt and black stockings, Jiang Che immediately grabbed her flowing hair, making her turn around.

“Mmm~”
