Chapter 2212 - 2171: Would You Dare Accept If I Kneel to You?

"Grandpa, uncle, Little Qiang is really strong, you... you don't know..." Zhou Jingzhe didn't expect the family members to have such an attitude towards Wang Xiaoqiang. Her heart was anxious, wanting to explain clearly, but the more anxious she was, the less articulate she became.

Before she could finish explaining, one of the younger generations in the Zhou family, a cousin named Zhou Jinghong, sneered with a face of disdain, "Strong? He's strong? Is it because his name has 'strong' in it? If having 'strong' in the name makes one strong, then I'll change mine to Xiaoqiang too. No, I'll call myself Qiangqiang. I'm Zhou Qiangqiang, how about that? Haha..."

"Haha."

"Haha..."

Faced with the younger generations' mockery of Wang Xiaoqiang, the Zhou family members not only didn't reprimand them, but instead joined in laughing. The laughter was filled with contempt, disdain, and heavy sarcasm.

Although Wang Xiaoqiang had seen the cold and warm of the human world and the ups and downs of society, his temperament was no longer frivolous. He still found the laughter harsh because he didn't care about the identity of being this "son-in-law". Having experienced hundreds and thousands of women, what's a Zhou Jingzhe to him?

He only liked her slightly. He came today merely to save the Zhou family. Why would he care about some marriage proposal... Who would have thought that the Zhou family members not only wouldn't warmly entertain him but would also speak with cold sarcasm, suddenly making him feel how worthless his actions were, how foolish his behavior...

He regretted it.

"Zhou Jinghong, what nonsense are you spouting? There's no place for you to speak here." At this point, Zhou Jingzhe was also angry and berated Zhou Jinghong, who was speaking sarcastically. Indeed, in normal times, at Zhou family meetings, the younger generation had no speaking rights, except for Zhou Jingzhe.

"Jingzhe, I'm not called Jinghong, I'm called Qiangqiang, Zhou Qiangqiang. Hey, Jingzhe, now, do you think your brother is really strong, haha..." Zhou Jinghong continued to speak sarcastically.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang was thoroughly infuriated and turned to leave.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang angered and about to leave, Zhou Jingzhe panicked and grabbed Wang Xiaoqiang, saying, "Little Qiang, don't, don't be angry. They don't know your situation. Don't, don't rush. I'll explain to them clearly..."

"What's there to explain? His identity, his status, his cultivation base is laid out right there. Could it be that he has a bigger backing? If there's a big backing, say it quickly. Otherwise, I absolutely won't agree to this marriage." The Zhou Family Patriarch spoke coldly, clearly showing his hand that Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't become the Zhou family son-in-law.

"Marriage? Son-in-law... You think I cherish being your Zhou family son-in-law? What does your Zhou family have? A small family so insignificant that it can be overlooked, without a single decent expert in the clan, always needing a woman of the clan to support it, a bunch of freeloaders, unaware when faced with danger, stubborn, blindly heightening and belittling others, so smugly thinking themselves unattainable, but in fact, just a group of ants. They all wear a sycophant face, thinking I'd really marry into your Zhou family, that would be too demeaning for me, right..."

After saying this, Wang Xiaoqiang turned to Zhou Jingzhe, "Jingzhe, it's true that I like you, but only simply and just a little. I won't compromise and cater to your family because of this. I came with good intentions to save your family, but I realize I was wrong. I regret it now, and I've changed my mind..."

Before Wang Xiaoqiang could finish, Zhou Jingzhe was frightened. Right now, Wang Xiaoqiang was the Zhou family's savior. If he left, the Zhou family would surely face the same fate as the Du family, a catastrophe of extermination. In desperation, she hugged Wang Xiaoqiang tightly...

"Little Qiang, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I should have explained the situation to my family beforehand, then it wouldn't be so awkward now. I apologize to you. I apologize for my family members to you. I hope you can forgive them, their vision is too limited and they don't understand the consequences. Please don't hold it against them..."

With Zhou Jingzhe's sudden embrace, a fragrant scent enveloped him, and a softness entered his arms, making Wang Xiaoqiang's heart flutter, feeling quite pleased,

At the same time, the Zhou family members blushed with shame, feeling like they had been slapped publicly, ashamed and embarrassed. A Zhou family woman actually embraced a man in front of the family crowd, especially hugging a man they couldn't accept, even just insulted. How could they not be angry?

The Zhou family men stood speechless in anger, shocked at the scene. Eventually, one of Zhou Jingzhe's uncles was the first to react, pointing at Zhou Jingzhe in anger, "Jingzhe, you... how could you do this, you disgrace our family name, taint our reputation, you..."

"Zhou Jingzhe, didn't you hear him insult us just now? You, you really disappoint me, let go quickly..."

"She, she has willingly degraded herself, how infuriating, how lamentable, alas..."

"Jingzhe, if you still consider me your grandfather, you would let go of him and draw a clear line with him, otherwise you'll never step into the Zhou family's door again..." The Zhou Family Patriarch harshly rebuked,

The Zhou family indeed didn't have any strong experts, only the Zhou Family Patriarch had a somewhat stronger cultivation base, but it was only at the level of Five Spirits of Heavenly Beings. Otherwise, upon seeing Wang Xiaoqiang retaliate against them, they would have already moved to teach him a lesson.

"Boy, what demon art did you use to confuse my cousin into this? As a disciple of the Kaoshan Sect, we won't bother with you. I'll give you three minutes to cut ties cleanly with my cousin and then kowtow and apologize to my Zhou family members..."

Seeing the Zhou family members scolding Wang Xiaoqiang, Zhou Jinghong joined in, rebuking him in anger. Although his cultivation level was only at One Spirit of Heavenly Beings, he was fearless, relying on the strength of numbers and dismissing Wang Xiaoqiang, threatening him.

Wang Xiaoqiang glanced at Zhou Jinghong, sneering coldly, "You want me to kneel and apologize? Sure, I'll kneel for you, but do you dare accept it?"

Zhou Jinghong, emboldened by the presence of the family members, approached confidently, puffed up his chest and raised his face arrogantly, saying, "Why wouldn't I dare? Quickly kneel and apologize to..."

Before he could finish saying "apologize," Zhou Jingzhe angrily slapped his face, with a crisp sound, Zhou Jinghong was slapped by his sister,

The slap was quite hard, causing him to fly through the hall, crashing heavily against the wall, falling down, covered in dust and disheveled, spitting out blood along with two teeth.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Zhou family striking against Zhou family members, it was the first time in history.

And the slap was so severe, a direct hit to the face, not only knocking him flying but also knocking out his front teeth, it seemed unimaginable to the Zhou family members. They all thought Zhou Jingzhe was crazy, attacking her own cousin for a man, it was simply incomprehensible.
