Chapter 2982: Chapter 2982: Can They Afford to Compensate?
An Jiuyue was also curious to see what kind of character this Young Master Le from the Le Family was. If it were any other major clan, knowing they had offended someone from the City Lord Residence, they would have simply beaten the steward to death and then offered an apology.
But the Le Family’s way of doing things was unusually different. Surprisingly, the Young Master of the Le Family personally came with the steward to apologize.
This wasn’t an apology at all; it was clearly an attempt to attach themselves to the City Lord Residence, using that piece of land to forcibly align the City Lord with the Le Family and tie them to the same boat.
"Go and tell them that my wife and I have moved into our own residence, not at the City Lord Residence anymore. If they want to apologize, they should go to the large household."
Qian Jiyun instructed the attendant of the Young City Lord Bai.
"Huh?"
The attendant was taken aback.
Weren’t they all still at the City Lord Residence? Why make the Young Master Le go to the large household?
"Huh what, hurry and deliver the message."
The Young City Lord Bai glared at his servant for being so clueless.
Anyone could see what the Le Family was plotting. If they let the Young Master Le enter the City Lord Residence today, he could guarantee rumors about the City Lord Residence backing the Le Family would spread throughout White Lion City instantly!
"Oh, yes, Young City Lord, Young Master Qian." The attendant quickly responded and turned to leave.
"What a clever scheme, the Le Family is dreaming." Even Hong Tianxu, who wasn’t the brightest, figured out the situation and chuckled.
...
Not far outside the City Lord Residence, in a horse carriage, the Young Master Le was eating fruit and swearing all the while.
"It’s just a guest of the City Lord Residence, what’s the big deal? They dared to have me, the esteemed Young Master, personally bring people to apologize, huh, as if they deserve it!"
He was enjoying the gentle company of beauties when someone under Old Jing woke him up.
He was about to lose his temper, but then he learned that his father sent people to fetch him back, instructing him to take Steward Zhao to the City Lord Residence to offer an apology.
He was the Young Master of the Le Family, how could he do such a humiliating thing?
Of course, he was reluctant to come, but he couldn’t disobey his father’s orders, so he had to bring Steward Zhao along to go through the motions, hoping that guest from the City Lord Residence had some sense and wouldn’t refuse to accept the favor.
His coming here alone was already a huge honor for those two. If they didn’t appreciate it, he wouldn’t mind ensuring they disappeared from White Lion City thereafter.
In any case, he had done such things many times before, and he didn’t believe anyone could do anything about him.
"Young Master, maybe we should get off the carriage. It wouldn’t look good if the people from the City Lord Residence saw us," Steward Zhao quietly reminded his Young Master from outside the carriage.
They had come to apologize, but stayed in the carriage, and if word got to that couple’s ears, they might not even see them.
"Whether it’s good or not, wouldn’t I know?"
The Young Master Le couldn’t care less about Steward Zhao’s words; he was still fuming inside.
"The sun is so scorching outside; are you trying to roast me alive? So what if they see? I’m the Young Master of the Le Family, a person of great importance, and do they dare leave me under the sun?
If they damage me, can they afford it? By then, it wouldn’t be me bringing you to apologize to them, but they should prepare gifts and come to the Le Family to apologize to me!"
