Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses

Although Xiao Qingshan didn’t finish his sentence, the meaning was clear.

“That depends on whether Miss Qingge agrees or not. I can give Miss Qingge a few more days to consider.” Jiang Che glanced at Xiao Qingge, who had been sitting silently on the side, and spoke.

After all, he wasn’t in a hurry and wasn’t afraid that Xiao Qingge would disagree. Hearing this, Xiao Qingshan looked at his daughter but didn’t ask any more questions.

It seemed that Jiang Che had already reached some sort of agreement with his daughter, but she hadn’t agreed yet.

“I still need a few more days to think about it.” Xiao Qingge took a deep breath and said.

“Of course, no problem. Just let me know your answer when you’ve made up your mind.” Jiang Che smiled and said. If he pushed her too hard, it might backfire, which would be counterproductive.

It would be best if, when Chen Feng returned, she admitted their relationship in front of him. He wondered what Lord Tiansha would think then.

Just the thought of Chen Feng’s livid face made Jiang Che somewhat excited.

And judging by the time, that guy Chen Feng should be arriving in Linjiang City today. As long as he stayed at the Xiao family long enough, he would run into that guy.

Thinking this, Jiang Che seized the opportunity to change the subject, seemingly casually asking, “I heard that Miss Qingge has a fiancé?”

His tone was neutral, but it made Xiao Qingshan tense up. He quickly replied, “Qingge did have a fiancé in the past, but he died in the northern desert. Qingge is still pure and has nothing to do with Chen Feng.”

“The engagement back then was just a joke made by the older generation after drinking too much.”

“Chen Feng died in the northern desert?” Hearing Xiao Qingshan’s words, Jiang Che’s expression became strange.

Now he understood why Xiao Qingge didn’t have any feelings of resistance toward him. It seemed this old man had used this excuse to deceive her.

Having accepted the original storyline, Jiang Che knew what kind of character Xiao Qingge was. She was relatively traditional and conservative.

If she had an engagement with Chen Feng, she definitely wouldn’t follow Xiao Qingshan’s suggestions.

He had been puzzled by Xiao Qingge’s change, but now everything made sense after hearing Xiao Qingshan’s explanation.

“That’s right. He died in the northern desert last year.” Xiao Qingshan said with a solemn face, his tone extremely sincere.

“Master, the family banquet is ready.” At this moment, a servant walked up to Xiao Qingshan and said respectfully.

“Young Master Jiang, please join us.” Xiao Qingshan made an inviting gesture to Jiang Che, his face full of a flattering smile.

After everyone was seated, Xiao Qingshan took out a bottle of Feitian Maotai he had treasured for years and personally poured a glass for Jiang Che.

“Young Master Jiang, I toast to you.” Jiang Che and Xiao Qingshan drank happily, the atmosphere harmonious.

…………

In Linjiang City, on Jingnan Road, at the top floor of Tianchen Insurance Company. A helicopter hovered in mid-air, its rotors spinning rapidly, creating a roaring noise.

At this moment, the helicopter was still twenty meters above the building. Chen Feng, with a calm expression, leaped directly from the helicopter.

“Boom!”

With a loud crash, the ground on the top floor cracked with numerous fissures. Chen Feng landed unscathed, his expression unchanged.

“Welcome back, Lord Tiansha!”

The top floor was already filled with many Yinglong guards and some dignitaries of Linjiang City, all kneeling on one knee, shouting in unison, their actions synchronized and respectful.

“Three years… I have finally returned…” Standing on the top floor, Chen Feng looked down at the bustling Linjiang City, his expression somewhat emotional.

Six years ago, he had left in disgrace. This time, he returned to avenge those who had wronged his family!

After a long time, Chen Feng regained his composure and asked a middle-aged man in front of him, “How is Qingge doing?”

“Lord Tiansha, Jiang Che is now at the Xiao family, seemingly discussing Miss Qingge’s marriage.” The middle-aged man replied respectfully. He only knew that Jiang Che was at the Xiao family, but the specifics were unclear.

“What a Xiao family, what a Jiang family! In order to climb the social ladder, the Xiao family is willing to sell their daughter. How ridiculous! They disregard my existence and the engagement between me and Qingge!” Chen Feng sneered, his face dark and cold.

Since this Jiang Che didn’t know his place, he would use him to make a statement upon his return!

“Head to the Xiao family.” Chen Feng glanced around at everyone present and then headed towards the staircase.

Dozens of Shadow Dragon guards and several dignitaries followed closely behind, while the remaining guards would join them upon arriving in Linjiang City.

…………

In the Xiao family living room.

Xiao Qingshan was about to toast Jiang Che again when a servant ran up to him in a panic, his expression one of fear.

“Master, something terrible has happened.”

“What happened? Why are you so panicked?” Xiao Qingshan frowned, looking displeased at the servant.

Damn it, didn’t this guy see Jiang Che was still here? How could he act so flustered? What impression did that give Jiang Che of him?

“A group of people… barged into our Xiao family… Our men couldn’t stop them.” The servant swallowed, calming his breathing before speaking.

“Useless! What do I pay you for?” Hearing the servant’s words, Xiao Qingshan was even more displeased, cursing angrily.

He paid those security guards high salaries not just to guard the gate but to handle such emergencies. Now, he had made a fool of himself in front of Jiang Che!

Although his Xiao family wasn’t a big family, just a second-rate family in Linjiang City, it was embarrassing that they couldn’t even stop a few intruders in broad daylight. He wanted to see who dared to be so bold!

“Young Master Jiang, please forgive me. I need to step out for a moment.” Xiao Qingshan said apologetically, standing up and heading towards the door.

“Please, go ahead, Master Xiao.” Jiang Che smiled, sipping his white wine leisurely.

He didn’t need to guess who had arrived. It was none other than Lord Tiansha, Chen Feng. Judging by the time, that guy should have arrived in Linjiang City by now.

Just as Xiao Qingshan was about to head outside, he heard an angry shout from a distance getting closer.

“The Xiao family is willing to sell their daughter to climb the social ladder! Have you no shame?”
