“You… what do you want to do?” Sima Yong’s face finally showed terror.
The next second, Sima Yong let out a pig-like scream from his throat, and was then thrown aside by Li Se.
Li Se was about to comfort Qiao Weiwei when a soft body suddenly threw itself into his arms.
“If something happens to me, you have to take responsibility!” Qiao Weiwei said, crying.
“Don’t worry, I will take responsibility,” Li Se said apologetically. If it weren’t for him, Qiao Weiwei wouldn’t have suffered such humiliation. She was a pampered young lady, how could she have ever been in such a situation?
Taking Qiao Weiwei to the courtyard, Li Se discovered that Wan Yin Peak and the old man were gone. This made his brows furrow, but he quickly dismissed it. Wan Yin Peak was no different from a cripple now, and as for the old man, his Spiritual Tortoise Eight Techniques had sealed his eight meridians and eight acupoints, making it basically impossible for him to use those evil arts again.
As for Sima Liang and Sima Yong, they had both been crippled by him. As for killing them, Li Se didn’t want to create trouble for himself for the time being. After all, the father and son had a certain standing. Most importantly, Tang Xi, that beauty, was still keeping an eye on him.
Meanwhile, at the Qiao family manor.
“Xiao Ming, how has your grandfather been feeling recently?” Qiao Guohua poured Zhang Ming a cup of tea and asked with a smile.
“He’s the same as before, but his condition has worsened recently…” Zhang Ming sighed lightly.
“I happen to know a divine doctor. If he were to treat you, he could definitely cure your grandfather’s illness!” Qiao Guohua said with a smile.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Uncle Qiao.” Zhang Ming knew that Old Master Qiao had stomach cancer, which was almost incurable. But after coming to Qingyun City, he had completely recovered. It should have been the divine doctor that Qiao Guohua mentioned who cured him. He came to Qingyun City this time, firstly for Qiao Weiwei, and secondly to ask this divine doctor to treat his grandfather.
Qiao Guohua waved his hand and said, “It’s no trouble. I’ll introduce you to this divine doctor later.”
“Oh, right, Uncle Qiao, I saw Weiwei with an ordinary person today. What’s going on?” Zhang Ming changed the subject.
He knew that the Qiao family had very high standards for their sons-in-law. It wasn’t necessary to be perfectly matched, but they couldn’t be too inferior. Especially since Qiao Guohua only had one daughter, he certainly wouldn’t marry her off to just anyone.
“Is that so?” Qiao Guohua was a little surprised. “When did this girl start dating? How come I don’t know?”
When Ya Lan, who was beside them, heard that her daughter was dating, she immediately walked over and asked, “Xiao Ming, you just said Weiwei was with a boy. What’s going on? When did she start dating?”
“Auntie, you don’t know?” Seeing the reaction of Qiao Guohua and his wife, Zhang Ming immediately knew there was hope. This Li Se had asked to take over the entire Zhang family from the start, but he didn’t know that he only needed to mention it to this couple, and Li Se would be kicked out.
“I don’t know.” Ya Lan shook her head.
Zhang Ming immediately recounted what had happened. After a moment of silence, he added, “I offered him one million to leave Weiwei, but this guy actually asked for one hundred million. I think this kid is probably after money.”
Qiao Guohua and Ya Lan exchanged glances, their faces showing contemplation. They understood their daughter, and she wouldn’t easily be with other boys. So they instinctively thought of Li Se. But how could Li Se ask for one hundred million?
Just then, Qiao Weiwei returned, and with her, of course, was Li Se.
“It’s him!” Zhang Ming pointed at Li Se, feeling very smug. Li Se, Li Se, this time you won’t even get one million, and you’ll regret it when you go back.
“Divine Doctor Li?” Qiao Guohua and Ya Lan were both stunned, and then they both smiled. As expected, they thought, how could their daughter be with other boys? It must be Li Se.
“Uncle, Auntie.” Li Se nodded slightly.
“Weiwei, you child, you’re dating, why didn’t you tell your parents?” Ya Lan said with a playful scold.
Qiao Weiwei’s pretty face immediately turned red. It seemed her parents had found out about her fake boyfriend. She knew without thinking that Zhang Ming had said something. She glanced at Li Se beside her, and said shyly, “I… I just wanted to give you a surprise?”
“Haha, you girl, it is quite a surprise. Go call your grandfather out. We have big happy news today, we must have a big feast!” Qiao Guohua was in a great mood. After all, he was very fond of Li Se as a son-in-law and really wanted to match them up.
Zhang Ming was completely stunned. What was going on? How was this completely different from what he had imagined? According to his script, Qiao Guohua and Ya Lan should have driven Li Se away. Why were they celebrating with a feast?
When Old Master Qiao learned that his precious granddaughter was with Li Se, he became as happy as a child. He hurried out and patted Li Se on the shoulder, “I told you you were awesome, kid. Look, you’ve managed to get my precious granddaughter in just a couple of moves. From now on, we’re family. You can’t bully my precious granddaughter!”
“Old Master Qiao, I… I understand.” Li Se was very confused. Was this fake drama becoming real?
“Grandpa, no one will bully me.” Qiao Weiwei said shyly.
“Uh, Old Master Qiao, isn’t there some misunderstanding here?” Zhang Ming couldn’t help but say.
“What misunderstanding?” Old Master Qiao looked at him strangely.
“This is Weiwei’s lifelong happiness, we can’t be so hasty, right?” Zhang Ming said.
Old Master Qiao laughed heartily, “It’s not hasty at all. I’ve thought highly of Brother Li for a long time, and I really like him as a grandson-in-law!”
Zhang Ming didn’t know what to say. What the hell was going on?
After a big meal at the Qiao family’s, Qiao Guohua and his wife continued to ask Li Se questions, mainly about his future plans. However, Li Se’s answers were quite perfunctory. He was the most depressed one. He had attracted another woman. There were simply too many women around him!
During this visit to the Qiao family, only Zhang Ming had a gloomy expression from beginning to end. He even found an excuse to leave halfway through the meal, but no one paid any attention to him. In this family, Zhang Ming was no different from an outsider.
After leaving the Qiao family, Qiao Weiwei saw Li Se’s distressed look and felt displeased, “What’s with that expression? Are you not satisfied to have a girlfriend like me?”
“It’s not that I’m not satisfied, it’s just that you know I already have a girlfriend,” Li Se said with some helplessness. “If your parents find out that we’re pretending, they’ll probably be very angry, right?”
