Chapter 829: Chapter 829: Take Action

Shui Taisheng and his men heard her words, their expressions changed slightly, and they all turned to look at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao’s expression remained unchanged, with a faint smile on his face.

Shui Taihong also said, “Yes, I have already discussed this with Ye. Their matter has been settled.”

“As the head of the Shui Family, why don’t I know about this?” Shui Taisheng’s face darkened.

Shui Taihong explained, “I just discussed this with Ye, and haven’t had a chance to tell you yet.”

Shui Taisheng said, “No, we have already agreed with the Meng Family. Huilan must marry the Meng Family’s young master.”

Shui Taihong replied, “The Shui Family’s arrangement can only be canceled. Huilan and Xiaotian are already bound as husband and wife.”

…

Shui Taisheng and his men’s faces changed drastically. If the two really had engaged in such a matter, the Meng Family would surely not accept this. However, telling the Meng Family this would cause Shui Taisheng to lose face. He had just agreed to the arrangement, how could he now go back on his word?

Shui Juncai spoke up, “I have an idea. We can give Mr. Qin a sum of money, and he can take the money and leave Guangyang Star immediately. For Huilan, we can just perform a secret procedure. The Meng Family won’t investigate these details thoroughly.”

Shui Taisheng nodded slightly, “This is the best solution.”

Shui Huilan said coldly, “Impossible. I will not leave Xiaotian. You can abandon this idea.”

Shui Taisheng’s face darkened, “This matter is settled. You will agree whether you like it or not. You have no choice in this.”

“Big brother, aren’t you being too overbearing?” Shui Taihong voiced his opposition.

Shui Taisheng said, “This concerns the family’s destiny. How can it be a child’s play? This matter is settled. If you disregard the family’s fate, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Shui Huilan sneered, “Don’t use the family’s interests as a shield. Who doesn’t know about your ambitions? I’m telling you, this matter is impossible.”

After saying this, she stood up and said to her father and Qin Hao, “Dad, Xiaotian, let’s go.”

A few people got up and left without giving Shui Taisheng any face at all. Shui Taisheng’s face turned livid, a vicious glint flashed in his eyes. The Shui Family now was no longer what it used to be. Whether you agree or not, you have no choice.

Back at Shui Taihong’s residence, Shui Huilan had the servants bring lunch, and they sat down to eat.

Shui Huilan apologized to Qin Hao, “Xiaotian, I’m sorry. I had no other choice earlier.”

Qin Hao smiled faintly, “It’s okay. There’s no need to say much between us. If you need my help, just ask.”

Shui Huilan said to her father, “Dad, I don’t think Shui Taisheng will let this go easily. We need to be prepared.”

Shui Taihong was stunned, “Shui Taisheng has control over almost the entire Shui Family now. No matter how we prepare, it’s useless. While they haven’t reacted yet, you should leave quickly, take Yinglong with you.”

“Dad, how can I leave you behind? I won’t go.” Shui Huilan said.

Shui Taihong said, “If you don’t leave, you’ll only implicate Mr. Qin. After all, Mr. Qin is innocent.”

Qin Hao said, “Don’t worry about me, I’m fine.”

Shui Huilan was not worried about Qin Hao’s abilities at all, “Dad, don’t worry about Xiaotian, he’s very capable.”

After lunch, Shui Huilan originally planned to take Qin Hao and others out for a walk, but they were stopped. Shui Taisheng had issued orders that Shui Taihong’s family was forbidden from leaving the Shui Family premises.

Now, Shui Taihong’s side was practically under house arrest, only able to move within the nearby area, unable to leave the Shui Family estate.

Shui Huilan was angry but knew there was no use in being anxious. Shui Taisheng now had great power in the Shui Family, and everyone followed his orders.

Although her father had been managing the Shui Family for many years, his prestige and position were slightly inferior to Shui Taisheng’s.

All afternoon, Shui Huilan thought about strategies. Apart from Qin Hao, she had no chance of turning the tides.

In the evening, Shui Huilan went to Qin Hao’s room. At this time, Luna and the other three women were in the room.

Shui Huilan said, “Xiaotian, I have something to discuss with you.”

Qin Hao had already guessed what it was. He said to Luna and the others, “You all go out first. I have something to discuss with Huilan.”

After Luna and the others went out, Shui Huilan said to Qin Hao, “Xiaotian, I want you to help me deal with Shui Taisheng and his men.”

Qin Hao nodded slightly, “That’s not a problem, but I also have a condition.”

Shui Huilan walked up to him and slowly took off her dress.

Qin Hao said, “That’s not the condition I meant, don’t misunderstand.”

Shui Huilan said, “I understand. I’ll agree to any condition because I have no other way.”

“I want your Shui Family to become my vassals. Of course, this is just for easier control. Rest assured, I won’t make you do anything against your interests. And you will take the position of head of the Shui Family, your father is a bit lacking,” Qin Hao said calmly.

Shui Huilan nodded slightly, “It’s an honor for our family to become Xiaotian’s vassals.”

…

The next morning.

Shui Taihong, Liu Ye, Shui Huilan, and Qin Hao were having breakfast.

Shui Juncai suddenly came in with a group of men, about a dozen elite subordinates. He looked at the people in the room and said, “Come with us, the family head requests your presence.”

Shui Huilan glanced at him, “Can’t you see we’re having breakfast? We’ll talk later.”

Shui Juncai’s face changed, “I’m not asking. You bitch, you think you’re so important? Take them all away. Kill anyone who resists.”

Leng Xuan and a few others stepped out and blocked Shui Juncai and his men.

Shui Juncai looked at Qin Hao and sneered, “Ritian, are you planning to intervene? Do you even know your own worth? Do you think you’re so invincible because you’re called Ritian? I think you should be called Rigou.”

*Slap slap*

Leng Xuan immediately slapped him several times, making him see stars, his head buzzing and disoriented.

Shui Juncai’s subordinates saw this and rushed forward, prompting Leng Xuan and the others to engage. The clash broke out right there in the palace.

Shui Taihong and Liu Ye’s eyes were filled with worry. Shui Juncai’s aggressive approach clearly indicated that Shui Taisheng couldn’t wait to act against them.
