Chapter 277: Straight to Kneeling

Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Straight to Kneeling

"The Eastern Domain War God, Meng Jiaxin, is your eldest sister?" Wang Heng couldn’t help but shriek, his heart seizing with terror.

’Good God, Meng Jiaxin is actually Wang Luyao’s eldest sister! If she finds out how I’ve been treating Wang Luyao, she’ll bring an army to wipe out the Wang family for sure!’

At that thought, he was so scared he nearly had a heart attack. He staggered over to Wang Luyao and stammered:

"My dear granddaughter, the Meng War God is your eldest sister? Why didn’t you say so sooner? Look at this mess I’ve made... Quick, have a seat! Please!"

Just then, Wang Shanshan, having finally cleaned herself up, walked in. She looked at Wang Heng and shrieked:

"Grandpa, she’s just a bitch! Why are you being so respectful to her? You should be kicking her out! Having a pauper like her in the Wang family home is an absolute disgrace to our family..."

Hearing her words, Wang Heng was scared out of his wits. ’How dare she speak about Wang Luoyao like that! She’s not just courting death for herself; she’s trying to send the entire Wang family to the gallows!’

The terrifying thought made his hair stand on end. He lunged at Wang Shanshan, slapped her hard across the face, and roared furiously:

"You bitch! Say one more word of nonsense and I’ll throw you out of the Wang family!"

Wang Shanshan stared blankly at Wang Heng, frozen to the spot. Just then, Wang Jiang walked in. He hurried over to shield Wang Shanshan and shouted urgently at Wang Heng:

"Dad, how could you hit your own granddaughter! Besides, she’s absolutely right! That bitch is the disgrace of the Wang family and should be thrown out..."

The words had barely left his mouth when Wang Heng charged over like a madman, raining punches and kicks down on him. He roared furiously with every blow:

"I’ll kill you, you blind fool! I’ll kill you!"

Wang Jiang, his face already bruised and swollen, stared blankly at Wang Heng, unable to believe his own eyes.

’How could Wang Heng, who had always doted on him, be beating him so viciously?’

He looked at Wang Heng and shouted indignantly, "Dad, I’m the next Patriarch of the Wang family! If you humiliate me like this, how will I ever be able to command respect from the others?"

Wang Heng slapped him hard across the face again and roared:

"You still want to be the Patriarch of the Wang family? Let me tell you, that’s not happening! Not now, not ever!"

With that, he ignored the dumbfounded Wang Jiang and walked straight over to Wang Duo, beaming. "Wang Duo," he announced, "Dad has made a decision. From now on, you will be the Patriarch of the Wang family..."

The words were barely out of his mouth when Wang Jiang shrieked, "Dad, have you gone mad? How can you make him the Patriarch? What right does he have?"

Wang Heng turned to look at Wang Jiang and said through gritted teeth, "Because he has a good daughter!"

Wang Jiang pointed at Wang Luyao and sneered, "Dad, are you talking about this bitch? Have you gone senile? What ’good daughter’? She’s nothing but a pauper from the middle of nowhere. How could she possibly compare to my Shanshan..."

Before he could finish, Wang Heng struck him with a backhanded slap. He then pointed at Mu Qingyun and said to his son through gritted teeth:

"Luyao has President Mu for a second sister! What does that bitch Shanshan have?"

Then he pointed to Chen Yun’Er. "Luyao has Leader Chen for a third sister! What does that bitch Shanshan have?"

He pointed to Feng Qingwu. "Luyao has Chairman Feng for a fourth sister! What does that bitch Shanshan have?"

"And she has Meng Jiaxin, the Meng War God, as her eldest sister! What does that bitch Shanshan have?"

’All those powerful figures are Wang Luyao’s sisters?’ Wang Jiang froze, as if struck by lightning. In an instant, his face became deathly pale.

He had thought Wang Luyao was just a pauper from some backwater village. He never imagined she had such formidable backers. With connections like those, they could not only crush him with ease but could flatten the entire Wang family with a wave of their hand.

At this realization, he was terrified out of his wits. He whirled around, slapped Wang Shanshan hard across the face, and roared:

"This is all your fault, you damn snob! Now get over there and apologize to your cousin!"

Hearing that Wang Luyao had such terrifyingly powerful connections, Wang Shanshan was nearly scared to death.

All her arrogance vanished. She staggered over to Wang Luyao, dropped to her knees with a THUD, and stammered:

"Cousin, it’s all my fault! I’ll kneel and beg for your forgiveness!"

Standing to the side, Ye Feng looked at Wang Jiang and said calmly, "And then there’s you. You’re no better."

Wang Jiang spun around and glared at Ye Feng, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot. "You motherfucker, who the hell do you think you are, acting so tough in front of me..."

Before he could finish, an icy voice called out from outside, "Who dares to be disrespectful to my Prince Consort?"

With the voice came a woman in elegant palace robes, carrying herself with graceful poise.

"And who the hell do you think you are? What gives you the right to act so high and mighty in the Wang family’s home..."

But the words had barely left his mouth when he recognized her, and he was scared witless.

He staggered before the woman, dropped to his knees with a THUD, and repeatedly slammed his forehead on the ground, his voice trembling as he cried out:

"This commoner was not aware of Your Highness’s arrival! My offensive words deserve a thousand deaths!"

He then began slamming his head on the floor—THUD, THUD, THUD. His forehead split open and blood began to stream down his face, but he didn’t dare stop.

Behind him, Wang Heng and the others also rushed forward to kneel and pay their respects.

The newcomer was none other than the princess of the Great Xia Empire, Long Xi’Er.

Long Xi’Er, however, didn’t spare them a single glance. She went to Wang Luyao, took her hand, and said warmly:

"My dear sister, I’ve come today to stand with you. I would love to see who dares to look down on you now!"

’Sister?’

’Wang Luyao is the princess’s sister?’

Everyone present froze, as if they had been struck by lightning.

Wang Heng was the first to react. He quickly got to his feet, hurried over to Wang Luyao, and exclaimed with a fawning smile:

"My dear granddaughter, you can’t leave the Wang family, no matter what you say! I’ve decided! I’ll make you the Patriarch, effective immediately! I’m sure that under your leadership, the Wang family will reach even greater heights!"

At that, Ye Feng looked at Wang Heng and said with a wide smile, "I told you that you’d be crying and begging for Luyao to stay. Do you believe me now?"

Wang Heng’s face turned beet red, and he was left speechless.

Wang Jiang also snapped out of it and shouted excitedly, "I’ll go make the arrangements! I’ll prepare the grandest possible ceremony to welcome my niece back to the Wang family!"

With that, he scrambled out of the room in a panic.

Watching her family’s complete turnaround from contempt to sycophancy, Wang Luyao’s eyes filled with disappointment. She looked at Ye Feng, her voice hoarse as she spoke:

"Ye Feng, I don’t want to rejoin the Wang family. Let’s go."

With that, she took Ye Feng by the hand and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Wang Heng was so frantic he was on the verge of tears. He quickly blocked Wang Luyao’s path and cried out, "My dear granddaughter, you can’t leave! You just can’t! I’m begging you!"

’Keeping Wang Luyao meant the Wang family could soar to unprecedented heights. How could he let such an opportunity slip away?’ Finally, he gritted his teeth and did the unthinkable. He knelt before Wang Luyao.
