Chapter 1431: Tough and Soft

“Sir!”

Lu’s father took a few deep breaths and did not scold Xia Xibei, but looked at the patriarch.

He knew that Xia Xibei would not be so arrogant unless she had the old man behind her.

Otherwise, where else would she have the nerve to say such things?

Before they came over, they thought that the old man would not back Xia Xibei up. To their surprise, the old man was really supportive of Xia Xibei!

“I don’t think she’s wrong.” The old man also looked at them as if they were fools. “Besides, how come I heard that it was because your son and his son drank too much that something happened? This does not seem to be directly related to Beibei, right?”

Lu’s father’s face suddenly went white.

This was indeed directly related to Lu Liangxun, but could he say that?

It was because they couldn’t admit it that they chose to be unanimous- unanimously against Xia Xibei.

However, they did not expect that the old man would be so resolutely on Xia Xibei’s side!

If it were anyone else, they would have already pushed Xia Xibei out to confess to the crime.

In this way, it seemed that Xia Xibei was not an ordinary person. Otherwise, why would the old man care about her so much?

“The Gu family, do you also think that our Qi family is easily bullied?”

The old man looked at Gu’s father and mother again, his eyes icy cold.

The two of them were still angry when they were taken aback by the old man’s gaze.

“You are overthinking! How dare we think that?!”

Father Gu immediately shook his head and waved his hand.

They weren’t that stupid!

Not to mention that the Qi family was much stronger than their Gu family, even if the situation was reversed, in front of the Qi family and the head of the family, they wouldn’t dare to say such silly things!

“Then why don’t you go to the culprit. Why do you come to our child? Do you think we are easy to bully?”

The old man slapped the table again, this time fiercely and with astonis.h.i.+ng momentum.

“The Lu family, you and the Gu family have discussed it, right?” The old man looked at Lu’s father and mother again, “Do you think we are as stupid as you are?! You don’t dare to let your children take responsibility, but you come to bully my children!”

Lu’s parents’ faces suddenly became ugly, but they could only shake their heads and deny it.

They complained in their hearts, ‘What was the old man doing, being so supportive of Xia Xibei?!’

When they came over earlier, they had only thought of finding a suitable culprit to take the blame. They thought that with Xia Xibei’s status as an illegitimate daughter, the Qi family wouldn’t care too much.

However, even the old man was here!

Moreover, the old man was clearly on Xia Xibei’s side!

Now they were in a dilemma.

How could they deal with this when the old man’s status and position were higher than theirs?

As they felt embarra.s.sed, Qi Zhi’an stepped forward with a kind expression.

“Actually, we also know that you guys are so anxious and nervous because something happened to your child.”

Qi Zhi’an’s words made their eyes light up and they perked up at once.

Right! The reason they were like this was that they were too attached to their child!

Qi Zhi’an understood their feelings!

“If your child was fine, I believe you guys wouldn’t be so angry, right?”

Qi Zhi’an’s words made several people nod their heads.

“Yes, yes, yes! That’s for sure!”

If Gu Yinglei was fine, they wouldn’t have been so stupid to come and make trouble!

“Actually, it’s not that hard to solve the child’s problem.”

These words made Gu’s father and mother stare at once, with more hope.

“Please!”

That was right! The Qi family had magical elixirs!

With those elixirs, Gu Yinglei would regain his health!
