The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Xu Family in Turmoil, Old Master Xu Critically Ill

“Did Ms. Xu not hear what I just said?”

Shen Jishi took out a sheet of paper and leisurely helped Qingwu wipe her hands.

“Apologies, everyone. Our Qingwu was raised in the countryside, doesn’t know the rules, and has been entirely spoiled by our family. I’ll make sure to teach her properly once we’re back home.”

He said “teach,” but his face didn’t show the slightest hint of embarrassment!

Clearly, he was protecting her.

Xu Xiaoqin’s face turned blue and red in patches!

Qingwu had already declared that Xu Xiaoru was under her protection, and no one else had the right to make comments!

Old Mr. Xu, a seasoned and astute man, simply glanced at Xu Xiaoru upon witnessing the scene.

“Qinqin, apologize.”

At the old man’s command, Xu Xiaoqin, despite her unwillingness, had no choice but to stand up and bow to Xu Xiaoru.

Feeling humiliated and ashamed, wine dripped continuously from her face, mixing with the tears streaming from her eyes.

“Xiaoxiao Sis, Ms. Shen, I’m really sorry! I know I was wrong!”

Xu Xiaoru covered her mouth, feigning an exaggerated expression of surprise.

“Oh dear, Qinqin, what happened to you? A proper lady from an established family, why is there wine all over your face?”

This was sheer humiliation!

Xu Xiaoqin couldn’t bear it any longer, covering her face as she fled the scene while crying!

Xu Huairan wanted to chase after her to comfort her but was stopped with a single glance from Madam Second Xu and had to give up.

Old Mr. Xu let out a hollow chuckle. “Ms. Shen, Mr. Shen, please do visit us often in the future. We have plenty of younger members in the Xu Family. Maybe it’ll be easy for them to get along with your family, you know, young people have a way of communicating more freely.”

Madam Second Xu seized the moment to chime in with a laugh. “It’s all Qinqin’s fault. She’s straightforward but not malicious. Ranran, go make amends on behalf of your sister to Xiaoxiao and Ms. Shen.”

Xu Huairan picked up his glass and stood up. “I sincerely apologize. I will make sure to teach Qinqin properly. Let me drink to you as a gesture of goodwill!”

Not knowing what else to say, Xu Huairan decided to down five full glasses of white liquor in a row to express his remorse!

Even Shen Jishi was left speechless!

This Xu family young master—is an honest… simple bloke!

Who starts chugging liquor without even exchanging pleasantries? And that was high-proof white liquor exceeding 50% alcohol content!

After finishing five glasses, Xu Huairan’s entire face was flushed bright red—clearly he had an alcohol allergy but insisted on drinking.

Madam Second Xu stared wide-eyed in disbelief!

“Ranran! You don’t even drink! Why on earth did you drink so much?!”

Was her intention really for Xu Huairan to drink?

She just wanted Xu Huairan to mingle with the Shen Family people!

The Shen Family clearly came today to support Xu Xiaoru, so if Xu Xiaoru was pleased, wouldn’t that win over the Shen Family?

Xu Huairan burped!

His gaze couldn’t focus as he looked around at everyone, then plopped back into his seat.

Madam Second Xu anxiously asked, “Ranran? Are you alright?”

Xu Huairan nodded and then shook his head.

For half a minute, all was silent before Xu Huairan suddenly burst into wailing sobs!

“Mommy, I don’t want to go to school! I don’t want to inherit this family business! I want to become an actor! Why does nobody support me!”

“I’m not cut out for business at all! I don’t even want to compete with Xiaoxiao for anything! If Xiaoxiao hadn’t given me food when I was little, I would have starved to death by now!”

“During my years away at school, Xiaoxiao was the one who sent me money. I can’t even figure out how to earn my tuition fees, and those Black guys kept beating me up! They’d knock on my window in the middle of the night, wahhhh!”

“You all have no idea how miserable my life has been outside! I’m not suited to be a Xu Family child! Mommy, I don’t want to live anymore!”

The Xu Family members all froze in shock!

Seeing Xu Huairan suddenly stand up, climb onto the dining table, and point his finger directly at Old Mr. Xu’s face, he began hurling insults!

“It’s all your fault! Keeping big plans and raising mistrustful schemes! You never even gave us food to eat as kids; we had to fend for ourselves for tuition fees and living expenses! Do you think your decisions were so wise?”

“I think you’re just too full yourself! And you have the nerve to push me into marrying Ms. Shen, are you f***ing kidding me? Do you even look at who in this family is worthy of Ms. Shen?”

“I hate you to death! If it weren’t for you, my little sister wouldn’t have starved to death… She was only eight years old! An eight-year-old child, and you made her fend for herself! It’s insane! You won’t die a good death!”

Old Mr. Xu was so furious he nearly lost his breath!

“You… you!”

Madam Second Xu was scared out of her wits, attempting to grab hold of Xu Huairan to stop him, but drunk people possess strange strength—Xu Huairan managed to lunge and grab Old Mr. Xu by the neck!

“Go down and apologize to my sister yourself! Do you even have the guts? Why! Why would you do this? I’ll kill you!”

Fortunately, Xu Xiaoru, being close, stepped forward and knocked Xu Huairan out with a single blow, swiftly arranging for the comatose Old Mr. Xu to be taken to emergency care.

The scene devolved into utter chaos.

Xu Xiaoru tossed a wine bottle onto the ground with a loud crash. “Whoever stirs up further trouble today will meet the same end as Grandpa!”

The other children of the Xu family immediately felt their nerves stretch taut and tightened their guard!

Xu Xiaoru handed Xu Huairan over to Madam Second Xu and calmly surveyed the crowd.

“Listen carefully. Whoever leaks what happened today, you’ll spend the rest of your life on a deserted island in the Pacific Ocean. Got it?”

“Now, return to your own rooms. If you leave this house tonight, then don’t ever come back again!”

Xu Xiaoru’s father frowned in displeasure. “Xiaoxiao, it’s not your place to speak here! We elders are still alive; what kind of attitude is this?”

Xu Xiaoru turned toward Qingwu. “Master, can you do me a favor? Dinner will be on me afterward.”

Qingwu’s gaze remained tranquil. “Two dinners.”

“Deal!”

Adjusting her wrist, Qingwu strode toward Xu Xiaoru’s father. Just as he had been putting on an insincere smile, she struck him with a slap!

Before Xu Xiaoru’s father could even scream, Qingwu’s foot rose in a flash, kneeing him in the stomach and knocking him out cold!

Xu Xiaoru’s mother acted as though she hadn’t seen a thing.

“Oh dear, Xiaoxiao, your father is so careless, dozing off right here in the living room! He’ll catch a cold! Quickly, someone move him to his room!”

“Got it.”

Shen Jishi stared in abject disbelief at Qingwu’s fluent and clean fighting techniques.

“Qingwu… you-you-you, wha-what just happened? Uh? What on earth?”

“My apologies, Fourth Bro, didn’t mean to scare you. Xiaoxiao’s dad treats her poorly, so she asked me to teach him a lesson, and I did.”

Shen Jishi practically felt like crying.

Is this the time to be apologizing?

He was utterly shocked by his sister’s combat skills!

That move Qingwu just pulled—he suspected that even if he stepped in himself, he might not be able to win against her…

Xu Xiaoru calmly patted Shen Jishi on the shoulder.

“Guess what, do you know what I learned from calling her ‘Master’?”

Shen Jishi: “…”

He had never even considered the question; he thought it was because Qingwu was Ziwei and Xu Xiaoru was her research assistant!

Xu Xiaoru revealed a gaze that seemed to pity a fool.

“Silly child, do I look like someone who does research? The skill Master taught me was fighting!”
