Chapter 348: The Break
Wen Xin, who was driving, suddenly laughed, a laugh filled with a strange mockery.
I thought you were a returning king, but it turns out you’ve been kicked out. We women, one is more miserable than the next.
Xiao Ruyan, of course, heard this mocking laugh, but she really couldn’t figure it out. Why had her own father expelled her from the Xiao family, even removing her from the family register!
With a strong surge of anger, Xiao Ruyan said coldly, “Charge in.”
Wen Xin seemed very happy to see Xiao Ruyan angry. She floored the gas pedal. The people beside them didn’t dare to block and quickly notified the others via walkie-talkie. The young lady is back!
Soon, the two of them arrived outside the old Xiao family residence. White lanterns were hanging on the main gate. They were clearly holding a funeral.
Xiao Ruyan clenched her fists. They’ve really gone too far!
“So grand,” Wen Xin teased. Xiao Ruyan had already opened the door and gotten out of the car. She was in no mood to argue with her now.
Seeing that Xiao Ruyan wasn’t speaking, Wen Xin felt bored. She got out of the car and leaned against the car door. “I won’t go and watch your family fight.”
Just as she finished speaking, a large group of people poured out from inside, all wearing mourning headbands. Everyone had a single expression.
Even if we have to fight you today, we won’t let you take a single step into the old Xiao family residence! If you have the guts, kill all of us from the Xiao family!
Wen Xin, leaning against the car door, even took out some melon seeds. This was going to be a good show.
Xiao Ruyan never expected that in just three days, the entire clan would turn against her!
“What is the meaning of this?” Xiao Ruyan demanded in a low voice.
“Xiao Ruyan, you are devoid of all conscience! You are not worthy of being our family head!” an old man from the Xiao family took the lead and shouted. He looked to be at least in his nineties and still had some prestige in the Xiao family.
With the old man’s rebuke, everyone began to chime in, especially the people on the side of the first and second uncles. They shouted very fiercely.
“What right do you have to say such a thing!”
“Then do I have this right!”
Suddenly, a familiar voice made Xiao Ruyan’s delicate body tremble. Her gaze turned to the entrance. It was precisely her parents.
But their eyes had changed, as if they were looking at a stranger, or a murderer, or a devil.
Wen Xin, seeing the man and woman at the door, could guess what was going on. She couldn’t help but sigh.
My dad wants to kill me. Your parents want to kick you out.
Xiao Yongjie and Zheng Xiaoyue walked to the opposite side of Xiao Ruyan. Xiao Yongjie’s eyes were firm, but Zheng Xiaoyue’s, as a mother, were filled with pleading, as if she wanted her daughter to admit her mistake and not be so stubborn.
“Dad, you have such methods. Why didn’t you use them before?”
Xiao Ruyan’s heart was like dead ashes. Her relatives wanted to kill her, and her closest ones had even betrayed her. This feeling was like being cut by a knife.
Xiao Yongjie took a deep breath. “I don’t want to fight for power. I just want to live a simple life with my family. But you killed my big brother and second brother, and you didn’t even spare my father. I have failed the ancestors of the Xiao family by giving birth to such a vicious woman.”
“Since you’re back, then I, Xiao Yongjie, announce that from today on, you and I are no longer father and daughter!”
Xiao Ruyan looked at her extremely excited and resolute father. After a long moment, she let out a light laugh. “This seems to be the first time you’ve been so assertive.”
“When I was wronged, why weren’t you so assertive? If you had been a little more assertive before, how could I have hated them so much!!!”
Xiao Yongjie seemed to be rendered speechless by her retort. “Xiao Ruyan, today, our Xiao family is of one mind. If you want to kill them, you can. Kill us first!”
Xiao Yongjie pulled Zheng Xiaoyue and took a step forward. Zheng Xiaoyue still pleaded with her eyes. Don’t make another mistake.
“Mom, I do what he doesn’t dare to do. I kill the people he doesn’t dare to kill. Come with me.”
Xiao Ruyan was extremely disappointed in her father. Such a man was not worthy of being her father!
Zheng Xiaoyue’s eyes were red. Her weak personality didn’t know what to do for a moment. Why did the family have to come to this?
“Ruyan, admit your mistake, okay?” Zheng Xiaoyue pleaded.
Xiao Ruyan already knew her mother’s meaning. A husband and wife were a husband and wife…
“What wrong have I, Xiao Ruyan, done!”
With a fierce shout, terrifying vines gushed out frantically.
This scared all the Xiao family members. Someone even discovered that Xiao Ruyan’s vines were much stronger than that day, both in terms of volume and quantity.
The closest Xiao Yongjie seemed to be scared silly. The roots were like giant pythons, as if they could entangle and kill all things in the world. If one vine slapped down, a whole group would probably die.
Wen Xin, eating melon seeds, let out an “oh ho.” This trip was not in vain. To witness such a tragic event.
With a thud, Zheng Xiaoyue knelt before Xiao Ruyan.
This made Xiao Ruyan’s heart struggle wildly. “Mom, get up!”
“Ruyan, don’t hurt everyone anymore. Mommy is begging you.” With that, she actually kowtowed. Xiao Ruyan’s eyes immediately turned blood-red.
Xiao Yongjie quickly went to help her up. “You’re pregnant. Don’t disturb the baby.”
Wen Xin let out a “pfft” and laughed loudly. “I say, group leader, it turns out they have a new child. They don’t want you, the old one, anymore.”
“When did this happen?” Xiao Ruyan’s tone gradually turned cold, as if she were no longer as angry as before.
Xiao Yongjie frowned. “Have you ever cared? Besides becoming stronger, who else can your heart accommodate?”
“So you plan to have another one.”
“That’s right!” Xiao Yongjie said with certainty.
Xiao Ruyan took a deep breath and scanned the people of the Xiao family.
“Alright, fine. You’ve won. From now on, I and your Xiao family will have nothing to do with each other. And we are no longer family. The next time we meet, it’s either you die or I die!”
With that, Xiao Ruyan left without looking back.
Wen Xin pursed her lips. “I thought you were going to start a massacre. And that’s it?”
“My business is not for you to worry about. Let’s go, to the shelter!”
“You’re fine, but I’m a little unhappy.”
Wen Xin’s gaze turned to the crowd. Her hand immediately condensed a purple fire and threw it.
The fire was like a feathered arrow, directly entering the body of that Xiao family elder. Half a second later, his whole person was engulfed in purple fire. The crowd was greatly alarmed, looking at each other.
Xiao Ruyan did not stop her.
Wen Xin said in a low voice, “I don’t care if you’re from the Xiao family or the Ye family. It’s fine to block her, but to block me, you must pay a price.”
“Let’s go. There are still things to do.” Xiao Ruyan said indifferently, opening the door and getting in the car.
Wen Xin paused for a moment, scanned these people. Without Xiao Ruyan’s protection, how long could these people survive? They would only be annexed by the stronger.
As the two of them left, the people of the Xiao family were as if their strength had been drained. They even began to doubt themselves in their hearts. Was it really right to drive Xiao Ruyan away?
Without Xiao Ruyan, even that woman could randomly slaughter the people of the Xiao family.
And from the looks of it just now, Xiao Ruyan’s strength had become stronger again.
Some people’s hearts began to fill with regret.
But there was no medicine for regret in this world.
“After the funeral is over, the Xiao family will move south.”
