Chapter 304  : Family Matters

Qin Rui raised his eyebrows mockingly. “I’m sure this is all a misunderstanding, right? You would let him go?” he questioned directly, unmoving.

Seeing that he wouldn’t change his mind, Lu Qing finally lost his patience.

“Should I say it again then, cousin?”

Nodding in Lu Ming’s direction, he spat out, “Lu Ming is already a cripple. Our family had already given up on him three years ago. Who knows when they’d finally chase him out of the family? I’m just doing my job.”

After a pause, he continued, “Wouldn’t it be a disgrace for the Lu family if a cripple were to stay here? As a relative of the Lu Family, certainly, the Qin Family doesn’t want to lose face, right?”

Lu Qing stared at him, waiting for his reply.

Qin Rui was the young master of the Qin Family. Given his very influential position, it would be smart not to offend him. If he could get him to willingly change sides, that might be a better alternative.

What he didn’t expect was for Qin Rui to shrug and turn the other way. “I still believe what you did was wrong. Lu Mingis still a part of the Lu Family and the Qin Family. Should the elders be not part of this decision?” he questioned. “Why exactly does it need to be decided by someone like you? Being a genius, the glory he had brought to the family isn’t something so easily achieved by someone like you, right?”

“I...”

Lu Qing snorted coldly as the proud expression he wore shattered.

He didn’t expect the young master of the Qin Family to speak up for someone like Lu Ming. He clenched his fists. It seemed that he had stepped into another political minefield.

Who was this bastard, anyway?

“So, the young master of the Qin Family believes he can decide on our family matters?”

......

Lu Qing gazed at the man as if he were looking at a newfound enemy.

Qin Rui chose to ignore the hostility as he shoved his hands down his pocket. “What family matters? What interference?” he continued. “Are we not of the same family?”

Although he had been in City A for many years as a disciple of the Qin Family, he was also considered quite quick with his words.

“In that case...” Lu Qing paused staring straight into Qin Rui’s hands. “If you want to take him away, then go right ahead. However, I should remind you, that it wouldn’t be easy to walk down that pathway.”

He then moved aside and made a gesture to his cousin. However, even he couldn’t hide the deep chill in his eyes.

As he had already tried beating Lu Ming for the last hour, he was already quite weak himself. There wasn’t any point in continuing this fight any longer and dragging Qin Ruiinto this.

Once he had another opportunity, he would make sure Lu Ming would die—slowly and painfully.

“I think we’ll be fine. Thank you for your concern.” Qin Rui flashed the man one last smile, before walking toward the entrance.

However, a voice stopped them on their tracks.

“The two of you can leave, but this woman has to stay and play with me. If ever I do have a good time, I might have the good conscience of allowing her to go back.”

Lu Qing’s cold gaze swept over Yao Tang.

Despite being stubborn herself, the woman was beautiful. Moreover, she seemed to be friends with Lu Ming. If he decided to keep her, the man would definitely return into his clutches.

Either way, his decision would give face to Qin Rui as well.

“How dare you touch her!”

Lu Ming roared loudly. Qin Rui, who was also standing beside him, scowled.

He had already done him a favor once. Qin Rui couldn’t possibly intervene to save this woman, right?

“Go!”

Lu Qing waved his hands, and the surrounding gangsters surrounded Yao Tang. “Cousin Qin, if there’s nothing else you want to say,” he started. “Then I suggest you leave.”

He started swaggering his way toward Yao Tang.

“Are you really going to keep my friend?” Qin Rui’s lips were now set in a thin line.

At that moment, someone in the dark pulled out a weapon.

Lu Qing shook his head. “I’ve already allowed to let the two of you go. Is that not enough?” he questioned. “This woman has already offended me several times. Do I not have the right to discipline her?”
