Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 547: The Peng Family’s Ruckus
After hanging up the phone, Su Xiaoxiao sat on the couch, her face showing a hint of concern.
"What’s wrong?" Jiang Yexun asked, holding her soft hand gently, his voice filled with worry.
"My brother must have gone on another mission. I’m just worried. What if this is all part of someone’s plan?" Su Xiaoxiao tightened her grip on his hand, her voice filled with anxiety.
If Peng Huijing really was the hidden mastermind from her previous life, then she was sure he would try to contact his allies for a counterattack in this situation. She feared that her brother, who might not understand the full scope of what was going on, could unknowingly be dragged into danger.
"Don’t worry. You have to trust your brother. After all, he’s much stronger now than before, isn’t he?" Jiang Yexun comforted her softly.
Su Hongchen had risen through the ranks quickly in the military, thanks to his strong personal abilities. Over the past year, with the help of the Spirit Spring Water, his physical capabilities had improved immensely. Now, even if he encountered danger, he would certainly be more alert and capable than ever before.
Su Xiaoxiao seemed to think of this as well, and she relaxed a little. But just then, the phone rang sharply, causing her to jump in surprise.
Jiang Yexun quickly patted her back to calm her down before picking up the phone.
"Hello? Hi, I’d like to speak to Commander Zhang. The relatives of his ex-wife are causing a scene at the gate of the compound. Could you tell us how we should handle this?" A polite voice from the compound’s security guard spoke.
"Please hold on, I’ll check on that," Jiang Yexun replied, hanging up the phone. He stood up, pulling Su Xiaoxiao with him as they headed to the kitchen.
He quickly briefed Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Wang about the situation, and their expressions immediately darkened.
"How dare the Peng family show up here and make a scene? I’ll go and see what kind of shameless things they can do," Grandpa Zhang said, his voice filled with anger as he rushed toward the door.
Su Xiaoxiao hurried to follow him, but Grandma Wang stopped her.
"Xiaoxiao, you and Yexun stay here and wait for news. Huijing has too much bias against you. She’ll surely badmouth you to her family, and those Peng people might be waiting to cause you trouble," Grandma Wang said, her face filled with concern.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, her beautiful brows knitting together. "Since they’ve come to the compound to make a scene, they won’t just leave easily. Grandma Wang, what if we invite them inside to talk? That way, we can avoid them making a bigger spectacle. We’ve done nothing wrong, and we’re not afraid of the Peng family making trouble. We should go with you."
Her main concern was that Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Wang were both getting older, and she feared that they might get hurt in the confrontation.
Grandma Wang hesitated for a moment, clearly not wanting to cause a scene outside, but she also worried that inviting the Peng family inside might create more trouble than it was worth. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head.
"No, I’ll go with your Grandpa Zhang and try to resolve this quickly," she said, her tone firm. "You two stay here and don’t waste your time on those Peng people."
But Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun refused to agree to stay behind. They insisted on accompanying the elders, and in the end, Grandma Wang had no choice but to speed up her pace, catching up with Grandpa Zhang, who was storming off to deal with the Peng family.
Before they even reached the gate of the compound, they could already hear the Peng family’s loud cries and ruckus.
"Our poor daughter, who has given birth to two children for the Zhang family over the years, and now, for the sake of outsiders, the Zhang family is forcing her to divorce her husband. She’s at this age—getting a divorce will be the death of her!"
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in shock, and she instinctively turned to Jiang Yexun for an explanation. She never expected to witness such a scene of vulgar shouting in the compound, especially not in front of her.
The Peng family’s words were full of exaggerated drama, attempting to paint themselves as the victims in an overly melodramatic way. But what was even more infuriating was the way they were causing a scene, unashamedly spreading lies without a care for who heard them.
