Then, towards Quan Zexi, she said almost jokingly, “Dad, are you sure you want to go with me? Once you come with me, you will lose your image of being this country’s most eligible bachelor.”
Jun Yexuan, Qi Yusen, and the others were all shocked to hear Qiao Qing make such a sarcasm comment.
It seemed like Qiao Qing’s personality had changed after she met Quan Zexi.
She…seemed more and more like a person now.
Ah! No, she was more personable now.
Quan Zexi gently coughed and got up, “What use is being an eligible bachelor? It’s an honor for me to have such a great daughter. How can I not go!?”
Jun Yexuan, Qi Yusen, Qi Chengyu, and Mu Jinghang all stood up as well, “There’s no need to talk too much. We are for sure going.”
He Wanqing was about to get up when Qiao Qing stopped her, “Mom, you stay here at grandpa’s.”
He Wanqing wanted to argue but Quan Zexi scolded her, “Why are you going?! Going will only cause trouble for us! With your IQ, you’d be a burden! If you get kidnapped, we’d have to work so much harder than we have to!”
He Wanqing, “…”
Though his words were harsh, they were said to ensure He Wanqing’s safety. Qiao Qing didn’t end up blaming Quan Zexi.
Once the group left the house, they found an elongated Bentley. This almost limo-looking car was equipped to carry the whole group.
After everyone got into the car, Mu Jinghang asked, “Where are we going?”
“I called you stupid and you refused to admit it.” Jun Yexuan said, “Xia Shixiong’s corpse and Xia Houshang are both at their home, so of course, we are going there first.”
Mu Jinghang, “…”
After their car left, a group of cars that carried Quan Zexi’s guards followed.
Once they left the main gate, the protestor’s shouts could be heard.
“Qiao Qing, get out here!”
“Qiao Qing, come out and die!”
“Do not protect a murder!”
“Avenge Duke Xia!”
“I support Ms. Xia!”
“An eye for an eye!”
“…”
These statements made everyone’s face drop. The spirit of everyone in the car quickly fell.
Mu Jinghang said, “These people are so easily manipulated! They’re acting like they’re in a cult! Do they believe everything Xia Houshang had said? They have no evidence, yet they act so arrogantly!”
Quan Zexi’s tone was cold, “They’re just a bunch of stupid commoners! They speak without thinking. All they know is to wave around their arms like a tourist guide! They all deserve to go back to their mom’s stomachs and be reborn!”
Everyone else, “…”
So his poisonous tongue had no specific target.
After the group left the rich people’s neighborhood, they arrived at the main streets.
The cars found themselves in a sea of people, who paved out a path at the sight of a car.
There was no other reason than the fact that these people respected Quan Zexi. While the Xia family provided them with weaponry, the country was still led by Quan Zexi.
It was obvious how highly respected he was.
As for the Emperor… normally nobody remembers his existence until he makes a scene.
They had no idea that the person they’d been cursing at was sitting right inside their beloved Duke’s car.
As the car drove by, people outside the car started to bow to pay their respect. Mu Jinghang exclaimed, “Uncle, you sure are an important figure here!”
“Of course!” Quan Zexi was not at all humble, “I am talented both mentally and physically. Don’t you know that those who are both well-read and good enough to fight in a war can rule the world? Who, if not me, deserves their deepest respect?”
Everyone else in the car, “…”
