Xu Zhenmin spoke with righteous conviction, his words landing with a thud.

Seeing this, Xu Zhentai laughed with a mixture of anger and amusement. To an outsider, it would seem as if Xu Ke owed him five million and he was here to collect the debt.

Xu Zhenguo's face was livid. "Zhenmin, are you serious?"

"Of course." Xu Zhenmin nodded with a smile. "Big Brother, you have no idea how expensive houses in the provincial capital and Tianhai are now. Without five million, how am I supposed to buy a house for my son? I hear the Wang Family is also in real estate. Five million should be nothing to them."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhenguo took a deep breath. "Fine!"

"Big Brother, you agree?" Xu Zhenmin and Xu Feng'an were both shocked and delighted. They both knew that if Xu Zhenguo gave his word, Xu Ke would very likely agree!

"I agree!" Xu Zhenguo nodded slowly. "Second Brother told me not to bring you two when I go to Tianhai. I've decided to agree with him."

In fact, Xu Zhenguo had never intended to take his third brother and fourth sister to Tianhai. But unfortunately, his fourth sister had been the one to relay the news, and they had immediately become dead set on going to Tianhai to extort their nephew. It was Xu Zhenguo who had forcefully kept them back, preventing them from harassing their nephew!

Xu Zhenmin's expression changed instantly. If he wasn't allowed to go, wouldn't he miss out on the money?

He said hurriedly, "Big Brother, Xiao Ke is getting married. As his third uncle, how could I not be there?"

Shen Fen's face turned pale with anger. This was just too shameless. Previously, when Xu Ke was supposed to marry Siao Jia, Third Uncle Xu Zhenmin had disappeared without a trace. He wouldn't even step inside when passing by their home.

"Your involvement isn't needed. All of you, get out," Xu Zhentai said coldly.

Xu Zhenmin panicked and shot Xu Feng'an a look, begging for help.

But Xu Feng'an, who was being told to leave, wasn't the least bit anxious. "Second Brother, are you trying to kick us out so you can hog all the money Wong Qifu gives the Xu Family?"

Xu Zhentai sneered but didn't reply.

Xu Feng'an taunted, "Don't think I don't know what you're planning. Kick me out and take it all for yourself? I booked my own high-speed rail ticket. I can go wherever I please. If you won't let me see Xu Ke and ask for money, I'll go to the main entrance of the Wang Family Corporation and demand it there. We'll see who's more humiliated then, you or me!"

At her words, Shen Fen's face went white as a sheet. If her sister-in-law caused a scene at the Wang Family Corporation, how could Xu Ke possibly hold his head high in the Wang Family?

Seeing the look on Shen Fen's face, Xu Feng'an grew even more smug. She stood up, ready to leave.

Xu Zhenmin's panicked expression was instantly replaced by a confident one, and he stood up as well. That's right, he could also go to the Wang Family's gate and cause a scene!

"Stop!" Xu Zhenguo roared.

"Weren't you kicking us out?" Xu Feng'an said disdainfully.

Xu Zhenguo took a deep breath. "Nine o'clock tomorrow. Don't be late. When we go to Tianhai tomorrow and see Wong Qifu, please, can you just watch what you say? I'm begging you as your eldest brother."

Seeing Xu Zhenguo, who was clearly furious but had to swallow his anger for his son's sake, Xu Zhentai gritted his teeth. That damned brat, Xu Ke...

"Fine. Of course. Big Brother, whatever you say, I'll listen. I am your little sister, after all." Xu Feng'an raised an eyebrow, a triumphant look on her face. You can talk so tough, but in the end, you still have to compromise for Xu Ke, don't you?

Then, Xu Feng'an turned to leave. "Third Brother, let's go."

Xu Zhenmin shot Xu Zhentai a triumphant look before departing.

After the two left, the living room fell silent for a long time. Xu Zhenguo closed his eyes and sighed faintly.

"Those two get more shameless by the year. Everything they do is despicable," Xu Zhentai said icily.

Shen Fen didn't want to discuss them. She handed him a cup of tea. "Let's not talk about them. Second Uncle, please calm down."

"Thank you, Sister-in-law." Xu Zhentai took the cup, had a sip, and looked at Xu Zhenguo. "What's your plan?"

Xu Zhenguo, at his wit's end, said, "Have Xu Ke and Wong Qifu call off the engagement… And tomorrow, make sure our younger brother and sister keep their mouths shut."

"Heh." Xu Zhentai scoffed. "That brat is as stubborn as you are. Call off the engagement? You're dreaming." He never minced words, no matter who he was talking to.

Xu Zhenguo slapped his forehead. "Then what do you suggest we do?"

"First, we ask Xu Ke face-to-face what's really going on. Then we decide."

Xu Zhenguo was silent for a long moment. "Alright."

"That damn brat, always causing trouble for us." Xu Zhentai shook his head and stood to leave. "I'm going!"

Shen Fen quickly stood to see him out. "Second Uncle, let me walk you out..."

Xu Zhentai waved her off. "Sister-in-law, I can see myself out. It's not my first time here."

BANG.

Xu Zhentai left the house, leaving Xu Ke's parents alone in the living room.

A long time passed... Finally, Xu Zhenguo pushed himself up from the sofa. "Let's get some sleep. We'll deal with this tomorrow."

Shen Fen let out a long sigh. "Alright."

「The next day.」

After his morning practice, Xu Ke said goodbye to Wong Qifu and left the Wang Family's residence.

To prevent his aunt from finding fault, Xu Ke went straight to the high-speed rail station after leaving. He even postponed discussing the matter of Wang Qiya wanting to learn medicine from him, which she had mentioned yesterday.

He waited for half an hour, until 9:50 AM. Soon, Xu Zhenguo's group arrived, pulling their suitcases, and walked up to Xu Ke.

"Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Young Aunt." Xu Ke greeted them one by one.

Xu Zhenguo and Xu Zhentai gave him a flat nod.

Xu Zhenmin's eyes burned with eagerness. Xu Ke was his personal cash cow now!

Just as Shen Fen was about to speak, Xu Feng'an cut in, "Xu Ke, you came alone? Why isn't Wong Qifu here? Her elders traveled all this way to Tianhai to see her, and she's this rude! It seems we'll have to teach her about the Xu Family's rules!"

At her words, Xu Zhenguo's face turned to ice. They were at the high-speed rail station! Is Xu Feng'an really trying to start trouble even here? Does that mouth of hers ever say anything that isn't infuriating?

Just then, Xu Ke gave a cold laugh. "Young Aunt, why didn't Uncle come?"

Xu Feng'an was taken aback. "What would he come for?"

Xu Ke said flatly, "Why isn't Uncle here? I traveled all this way to the high-speed rail station to pick him up, and he's this rude! It seems I'll have to teach Uncle about the Xu Family's rules."

When he finished, everyone was stunned. This was blatant insubordination, and he was just twisting her words!

Xu Feng'an's eyes widened. "Insolent! Your uncle is your elder! Do you have no manners?"

Third Uncle Xu Zhenmin frowned. "Xu Ke, what way is that to talk? Didn't your father teach you to respect your elders?"

"He did." Xu Ke nodded, not bothering to argue with them. "Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, I've booked a hotel for us. I checked with them, and they said we can check in early. Let's go."

Xu Zhenguo nodded. "Let's go." He played along with Xu Ke's attempt to change the subject, not because he approved of his son's disrespect, but because he didn't want to cause a scene at the station.

Xu Zhentai simply grabbed his suitcase and strode off.

Seeing the four of them just ignore them, Xu Feng'an seethed with anger, gritting her teeth. "Those bastards!"

"Let's hurry, or we might not get a room," Xu Zhenmin said, anxious about his own hotel room, and rushed after them.

Xu Feng'an nearly had an aneurysm watching him.
