Li Xiaotian and his party arrived at the Ouyang family. The head of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Zhen, along with all the core members of the family, came to the entrance to welcome them, making it a very grand occasion.
Seeing this scene, Su Haiqing was filled with shock. Li Xiaotian had told her about some of his experiences, but whether it was his battles in the Dragon King Hall of the war zone or his later destruction of the Li family, Su Haiqing was only shocked by her nephew's power. However, she did not feel the profound shock she felt now, seeing it with her own eyes.
The Ouyang family, the foremost aristocratic family in the southeast. Su Haiqing remembered that when she was still in the Huang family, the Ouyang family seemed like a power higher than the heavens. Yet, at this moment, all the core members of the Ouyang family were bowing and paying respects to her nephew. This was truly a powerful impact on her heart.
Initially, Su Haiqing had worried that Li Xiaotian would bring her to the southeast to cause trouble for the Huang family. She understood the principle that a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake. Now, it seemed she had worried for nothing.
At the same time, in the Huang family in the southeast, Old Madam Huang urgently summoned everyone from the Huang family to the main hall for a meeting. Huang Haibo's legs had been broken, and Su Haiqing had returned to the southeast.
Upon hearing this news, all the members of the Huang family, no matter what they were doing, rushed back home.
In the main hall, an old woman dressed in a bright red, festive attire sat in the main seat. She was the Old Madam of the Huang family and the true person in charge of the Huang family.
Below Old Madam Huang sat Huang Shigui, the head of the Huang family. On the other side sat a gorgeously dressed young woman.
At this moment, everyone in the hall was whispering. Only one woman was crying uncontrollably, oblivious to her appearance. She was Huang Haibo's mother, Wang Li.
Huang Haibo was the son of Huang Shigui's brother. Since Huang Shigui had no sons, the Huang family had been grooming Huang Haibo as the next family head.
Wang Li also benefited from her son's status, and her position in the Huang family was second only to Old Madam Huang and Huang Shigui.
But now, Huang Haibo's legs had been broken, which meant he had lost his position as the young family head. This filled Wang Li with sorrow.
"Mother, you must uphold justice for Haibo. He grew up under your care, and you always doted on him the most," Wang Li said, her face filled with grief and despair.
"Shut up! Crying, crying, crying! You only know how to cry. Can crying solve problems?" Old Madam Huang scolded loudly, glaring fiercely at Wang Li. The latter immediately stopped crying, scared.
At the same time, the hall fell silent. Old Madam Huang, with a dark expression, took a deep breath and then said to Huang Shigui.
"Shigui, tell everyone the situation."
"Yes, alright." Huang Shigui wiped the sweat from his forehead and then spoke nervously. He couldn't help but be flustered. When he learned that Huang Haibo's legs were broken by Ouyang Feng, he was so shocked that he couldn't stand up for a long time.
Did he, as the family head, not know the strength of the Huang family?
"According to my subordinates, Haibo encountered Su Haiqing at the airport. He planned to bring her home. After all, my wedding is imminent, and Su Haiqing wandering outside alone would damage our Huang family's reputation."
"So, his attitude was a bit rough. But he didn't expect that Su Haiqing would return with a young man this time, and Ouyang Feng himself went to the airport to greet them. Haibo didn't recognize Ouyang Feng and ordered his subordinates to forcibly take Su Haiqing away, and then, his legs were broken by Ouyang Feng."
After Huang Shigui finished speaking, he quickly picked up his teacup with trembling hands and took a big gulp. His mind was in chaos. Huang Haibo, that fool, had offended Ouyang Feng. This was going to ruin the Huang family!
The people in the hall changed their expressions upon hearing this, their faces filled with panic. The Ouyang family, the foremost aristocratic family in the southeast, and Su Haiqing. The fact that she could have Ouyang Feng personally greet her, what was going on?
Old Madam Huang took a deep breath, looked at everyone's expressions, shook her head slightly, and then gritted her teeth and said.
"Hmph! Su Haiqing, that b*tch, eloped with a scoundrel and ruined our Huang family's reputation. Not only did she not come to beg for forgiveness upon returning to the southeast, but she also brought helpers back!"
"And Ouyang Feng, for arbitrarily interfering in our Huang family's domestic affairs and breaking Haibo's legs, is openly bullying our Huang family."
"Mother, we still don't know Su Haiqing's relationship with the Ouyang family, nor do we know the background of the helper she brought back," Huang Shigui added.
"I know!" Old Madam Huang glared at Huang Shigui, then paused before continuing.
"We shouldn't be too nervous about this matter! First, we must solidify the fact that Su Haiqing eloped with a scoundrel. This way, Haibo taking Su Haiqing at the airport would be our Huang family's private matter. For Ouyang Feng to interfere in our Huang family's private affairs without reason, even if he is the foremost aristocratic family, so what? Can the foremost aristocratic family arbitrarily interfere in other people's private affairs?"
At this moment, Old Madam Huang was not thinking of the worst-case scenario. She knew that Su Haiqing had no relationship with the Ouyang family, and that Su Haiqing's only backer, the Li family in the capital, was rumored to have been destroyed a while ago.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked Huang Shigui to trick Su Haiqing to the capital and abandon her.
"Mother, while the logic is sound, we are unclear about the Ouyang family's attitude. Were the events at the airport today Ouyang Feng's idea, or does he represent the Ouyang family?" Huang Shigui analyzed, gradually calming down. After all, their Huang family had no enmity with the Ouyang family, and the Ouyang family should not have attacked their Huang family without reason.
"Also, what is the identity of the young man Su Haiqing brought back? I believe Ouyang Feng went to the airport precisely because of this young man, and it has nothing to do with Su Haiqing."
A shrewd glint flashed in Old Madam Huang's eyes, her mind constantly deducing the situation. Just then, someone quickly entered the hall and said to Old Madam Huang.
"Old Madam, the Ouyang family has replied. They are asking us to hand over the properties that were occupied by Su Haiqing, and to cancel the wedding. All members of the Huang family must kneel and apologize to Su Haiqing!"
"Presumptuous! How dare she!? What right does she have? Those properties were her dowry. When she married into our Huang family, those properties became our Huang family's and have nothing to do with her! Why should the Ouyang family stand up for that b*tch?" Upon hearing the word "properties," Old Madam Huang immediately became agitated. The current achievements of their Huang family were largely due to those properties. If Su Haiqing wanted to reclaim them, it would undoubtedly be cutting off their Huang family's lifeline.
"Exactly, Grandmother. Su Haiqing is bullying us. Why does she dare to covet our Huang family's properties? What does the Ouyang family mean by this?" Some people in the hall also became displeased. The conditions proposed by the Ouyang family were too difficult to accept.
"Mother, the Ouyang family has come with ill intentions. Tell me, is it possible that Su Haiqing has some deal with the Ouyang family, and they are standing up for her?" Huang Shigui said, also feeling anxious. Su Haiqing, that b*tch, was using the Ouyang family as her backer, trying to force their Huang family to their demise!
