Chapter 709: I Should Have Been the One Marrying Him to Begin With
Cold and alluring…
The sight of her made Xiao Mingyan and Lan Qingcheng suck in a sharp breath!
“To marry Sijue? Are you kidding?” Xiao Mingyan wanted to mention the humiliating incident involving Long Xiluo years ago, but under Long Xiluo’s cold and scornful gaze, her words were stuck in her throat.
“Big Sister Xiluo, Jue is my fiance now, and our engagement ceremony will be held soon.” Lan Qingcheng’s voice was no longer as pure and innocent as before.
“Even you know how to say that it’s just an engagement ceremony. It doesn’t seem like your wedding is going to be held anytime soon. Since both of us are unmarried, what’s wrong with us getting married for the sake of our child? Moreover, I should have been the one marrying him to begin with!” Long Xiluo raised her chin a little, and her gaze was cold and scornful as she looked at Lan Qingcheng.
Lan Qingcheng was so furious that she was about to explode. ‘She’s just a woman who had been sullied. What right does she have to talk to me like this!?’
She immediately looked at Long Aotian, who had been sitting down without saying a word, with an upset expression. When Long Aotian saw the look on her face, he felt his heart shattering into pieces. He immediately rose and reprimanded Long Xiluo, “Long Xiluo, you’re the black sheep of our family! What you did that year brought endless disgrace to the Long family! And you’re still shameless enough to come back and say that you’re marrying Sijue!”
“Don’t I have the right to do so?” Long Xiluo looked coldly at the old man beside her, and her gaze was full of disdain.
Long Aotian saw Long Xiluo looking at him like this, and his expression changed. As it seemed, out of everyone present, he was the one with the least right to speak. He immediately gestured at the person sitting beside him with his eyes.
“Long Xiluo, I’m just saying… But everyone knows about the humiliating thing that you did that year, that you were f*cked by countless…”
Before the person could finish speaking, Long Sijue suddenly let go of Long Xiluo and charged towards the person at lightning speed, clutching his neck. The person immediately had difficulty breathing, and his cheeks were red due to suffocation.
Long Sijue continued tightening his grip on the person’s neck, and he was emanating such a chilly aura that it was as if he could freeze everything around him. He said coldly, “I’ll break the neck of whoever dares to utter another word about this!”
There were almost a hundred people in the main hall of Long Garden, and all of them were shocked. No one doubted that Long Sijue was capable of carrying out his threat, and for some time, no one dared to utter a word.
Long Sijue flashed a warning gaze at the crowd. The eyes of the man who was being strangled rolled back into his head due to the suffocation.
“Sijue, stop!” A steady voice rang out, and everyone turned to look at the source of the voice. Elder Long was holding Long Lin’s hand as he descended the stairs.
Long Sijue only slowly loosened his grip on the person’s neck when he saw Elder Long. The person plopped onto the couch and coughed loudly. His face was bright red due to suffocation. He finally managed to catch his breath after a long time, and he immediately stood up and said, “Cousin uncle, Long Sijue actually tried to strangle me to death in front of so many people just because he’s the director of the company now! You must make sure that justice is served!”
“That’s true, dad. This is too much. We’re all family, but Sijue is threatening to kill and beat people up for no good reason! This is extremely outrageous!” Long Aotian took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
Long Sijue stood expressionlessly without defending himself at all. Long Xiluo’s expression was just like that of Long Sijue’s. Both of them merely stood there without moving, and they looked like two ice sculptures.
“Like I have said before, I’ll remove the name of whoever dares to mention what happened to Xiluo from the Long family’s genealogy records. Your name has been removed. Bodyguards, chase him out!” Elder Long pointed at the person and mercilessly broke the news.
Everyone was sh.e.l.l-shocked. Only now did they remember that Elder Long had indeed issued such a warning. But it had been a very long time since then, and everyone had forgotten about it. Who would keep such a pa.s.sing remark in mind?
