530 A Strong Dragon Can’t Suppress a Local Snake


    Xing Chen and Qiao An arrived at the vige head’s house hand in hand. The vige head was not around, and his wife and son, Fu Dayou, received them.


    Although Fu Dayou had been kicked by Qiao An, he couldn’t forget her beauty and liked Qiao An, a different kind of fierce woman. So he showed both love and hatred for Qiao An’s arrival.


    In order to make Qiao An to fall in love with him, Fu Dayou put in a lot of effort. He instructed the servants to bring out the good tea and precious snacks at home.


    “Qiao An, I’m so happy that you cane to my house. This is my family’s good Longjing tea. It costs thousands of dors a tael. You must have never drunk such expensive tea leaves before. Try it.”


    Qiao An nced at the tea leaves indifferently, then said casually, “I never drink tea leaves worth thousands of dors a tael.”


    Fu Da smiled. “Isn’t that so? Not everyone can afford it.”


    But Qiao An added, “My tea leaves are all limited edition collector’s editions that aren’t circting in the market. They’re hard toe by.”


    Fu Dayou was dumbfounded. Then, he said indignantly, “Keep bragging.”


    Xing Chen couldn’t help butugh.


    Qiao An held Xing Chen’s hand and sat side by side with him opposite Fu Dayou. She was in no mood to show off her wealth. Instead, she went straight to the point. “Fu Dayou, where’s your father?”


    Fu Dayou saidzily, “My father went to the confinement area. Tell me if you have anything. I’ll tell my fatherter.”


    Xing Chen said, “I need a piece ofnd to build a house. I hope the vige book will grant me approval.”


    Fu Dayou was immediately suspicious. “Xing Chen, why do you suddenly want to build a house?”


    Xing Chen said, “An’an and I are preparing to get married. I need a new house.”


    Fu Dayou had the intention to make things difficult for him. “You’re from an unknown background. You’re not qualified to live in our vige, let alone build a house.”


    Qiao An retorted, “Xing Chen is considered an adopted son of the Xing family. Since the Xing family has settled down, Xingchen, as the male son of the Xing family, has the right to settle down. Fu Dayou. Don’t make things difficult for Xing Chen.”


    Fu Dayou’s mother had always doted on him like he was her treasure and was obedient to him. Seeing that Qiao An was so disrespectful to Fu Dayou and her words were filled with contempt, she immediately frowned unhappily.


    “Qiao An, you better not interrupt when men are talking,” Fu Dayou’s mother said coldly.


    Qiao An stared.


    “What era are we in? Do you think this is an old society where men are superior to women? Aunt, men and women are equal these days. There is freedom of speech.”


    The face of the vige head’s wife darkened from Qiao An’s disobedience. “Xingxing, you’re an outsider of unknown origin. It’s just that Father Xing sympathized with you and saved you. For the past few years, you’ve relied on Father Xing’s reputation to live in the Xing family. Now that you’ve abandoned Xing Xiaoya, you would be severing ties with the Xing family. Therefore, you’re no longer qualified to stay in our vige.”


    Qiao An asked, “Xing Chen’s name is on the Xing family’s household register. Aunt, by saying that Xing Chen is not a member of the Xing family, are you prepared to testify with the household register, or are you testifying with your mouth?”


    The vige head’s wife was speechless.


    Qiao An continued, “Aunt, you’re uncultured and don’t understand the principle that there arews to follow. Let’s wait for Vige Head toe back and tell him about this.”


    Her words made the vige head’s wife feel uneasy.


    She was the wife of the vige head. She knew how many illegal things the vige head had done over the years.


    However, her uneasiness quickly disappeared. After all, she believed that a weak girl like Qiao An couldn’t cause trouble.


    “Qiao An, here, the vige head is thew,” the vige head’s wife said rudely.


    Qiao An didn’t know whether tough or cry. “Aunt, it seems that you really haven’t studied.”


    At this moment, the vige head returned.


    He looked happy.


    Seeing Xing Chen and Qiao An, he said excitedly, “Qiao An, Xing Chen, it’s all thanks to you that the gue in our vige is under control. The higher-ups heard that we controlled the gue in such a short time and specially rewarded our vige.”


    This was indeed exciting good news.


    However, the wife interrupted the vige head and said with a dark expression, “Do you know why Xing Chen and Qiao An are here?”


    Only then did the vige head realize that there was something unusual about Xing Chen and Qiao An’s appearance at his house.


    However, before Xing Chen could exin, his wife quickly told him, “Xing Chen wants you to approve the construction of a house for him.”


    As expected, the vige book’s smile froze at the corners of his eyes.


    Qiao An could see his dilemma and was surprised.


    “Xing Chen, you’re not qualified to build a house,” the vige head said.


    “Why not?” Qiao An asked.


    “He… has an unknown background.”


    “Did the Xing family settle in the vige?” Qiao An asked.


    “They did.”


    Qiao An was aggressive. “That’s strange. The Xing family is also an outsider. If they can buy a house and settle down, why can’t Xing Chen?”


    “Xing Chen’s situation is very special. His household register was directly registered with the Xing family, so he’s considered a member of the Xing family.”


    “Since he’s from the Xing family, it’s not umon for men to establish their own families. Why can’t Xing Chen do so?”


    “Xingchen is the son-inw of the Xing family.”


    “The son-inw of the Xing family? Xing Chen’s surname is Xing. Moreover, he doesn’t have a marriage registration certificate with Xing Xiaoya. You treat him as the son-inw of the Xing family? Isn’t this malfeasance?”


    The vige head couldn’t argue with Qiao An and immediately red up. “Qiao An, it’s not your ce to point fingers at our vige.”


    Qiao An sneered. “If you’re wrong, we have the right to report you.”


    The vige book smiled shamelessly. “Report me? If you have the ability, report me to the higher-ups?”


    Qiao An guessed from the vige book’s brazen smile that the vige book was protected.


    “If I find out that you did do something illegal, I’ll definitely pull you down.” Her tone was slow but extremely firm.


    The vige head’s face darkened. For some reason, Qiao An made him feel uneasy.


    ...


    The vige head had heard that Qiao An was a CEO, but he didn’t believe it. The CEO of the capital was busy every day. How could she have the time to personallye down and do charity?


    Qiao An pulled Xing Chen out of the vige head’s house.


    The vige head wife’s asked her husband timidly, “Will Qiao An ruin things?”


    The vige head said, “What are you afraid of? A strong dragon can’t suppress a local snake.”


    The vige book wife’s said, “But I’m afraid this girl has an extraordinary status.”


    The vige head also looked rmed.


    The vige head’s wife reprimanded him. “It’s all your fault. You shouldn’t have taken over the Xing family’s residence in the first ce. You caused the Xing family to have no residentialnd to build a house.”


    The vige head said, “Who knew that poor Xing Chen would suddenly want to build a house?”


    “Why don’t we find him another piece ofnd?”


    “Nonsense. Ground control nowadays is so strict. How can it be casually built?”
