Chapter 63

After Xue Weijun finished speaking, Lu Li immediately understood.

It turned out that the person he had looked down upon, who was envied by the other passengers, was himself.

Xiao Junlan was already completely shocked. She had originally thought that the middle-aged man who came to pick them up was her son's friend, but it turned out that they were not, and he was sent by that friend.

She looked at her son with a complicated expression, feeling both proud and somewhat worried.

Xiao Li usually stays at school, right? When did he make friends with these people?

As for any evil deeds Lu Li might have done, Xiao Junlan had never thought about it.

Firstly, she trusted her son's character, and secondly, this was the Yanjing Airport. Which criminal would dare to show off here? That would not be showing off wealth, but asking for death.

"I understand. Please thank Clan Leader Xue on my behalf and tell him that I am very satisfied with his hospitality."

Lu Li said indifferently, then turned to look at Xiao Junlan and said with a pretend air of satisfaction: "Mom, did you see that? My friend is very powerful. Even if he is not as good as the Xiao family, he is not far behind. So when we get there, speak nicely and everything will be fine. If they speak rudely, hmpf, we won't be easy to provoke either."

Xiao Junlan's expression was strange. As the saying goes, no one knows their child better than their mother. How could she not see her son's deliberate act?

What she couldn't understand was why her son didn't seem worried at all. Could his friend really deal with the Xiao family?

Lu Li and his mother's conversation left Xue Weijun hesitant to say much. He secretly observed Lu Li and found that Lu Li was indeed as young as the rumors suggested, which greatly puzzled him.

The fact that Lu Li was the reincarnation of Xue Tianci was known only to the current clan leader Xue Renzhi and the next clan leader Xue Weiguo.

And those who had met Lu Li were few, only Xue Weimin and Xue Shouye.

Xue Weijun only knew that the old clan leader had specifically given an order that Lu Li was the most important guest of the Xue family, and his words were the clan leader's words.

Since it was an order from the clan leader, regardless of the reason, it was best to do a good job.

After all, Xue Renzhi was the stabilizing force of the Xue family village. As long as he was there, everyone had a chance to rise, even Xue Weiguo, who was a major general.

"Mr. Lu, shall we go to the hotel first?"

Hearing Xue Weijun's inquiry, Lu Li thought for a moment and said, "Leave someone to get the luggage. We'll go to the Xiao family first."

"The Xiao family? Xiao Yuchuan's Xiao family?"

Families that could be referred to as the Yanjing Xiao family generally referred to the Xiao family led by Xiao Yuchuan. However, to avoid any mistakes, Xue Weijun confirmed again.

Lu Li had not asked about his grandfather or uncle's names until now. Hearing this, he could only look at Xiao Junlan, who nodded with a complicated expression. He then said, "Yes, let's go now."

"Alright, Mr. Lu, this lady, please."

Xue Weijun left someone to get the luggage and led Lu Li and his mother to the Rolls-Royce Phantom. They soon left the airport and headed for the Xiao family.

As the car started moving, Lu Li first called Fang Gai back, telling him not to send anyone to pick them up as they had already left the airport. After hanging up, he looked at the scenery of Yanjing, gradually coming to a realization.

Clearly, Xue Renzhi had a reason for sending a grand reception. This was less about showing off and more about establishing authority, to tell some families in Yanjing that he was their important guest. If they wanted to touch him, they would have to ask if the Xue family agreed.

The car moved very quickly, and there was no sense of vibration.

The closer they got to the Xiao family, the more complicated Xiao Junlan's expression became, and she was also worried about her father's condition.

After half an hour, the Rolls-Royce Phantom finally stopped.

The driver opened the door, and Lu Li got out first, looking at the nearby quadrangle courtyard with a slightly strange expression, thinking to himself that the Xiao family his mother belonged to might be the one led by Xiao Jun.

"Mr. Lu, this is the ancestral home of the Xiao family. Old Mr. Xiao and Xiao Yuchuan spend most of their time here."

Xue Weijun noticed Lu Li's surprised expression and explained with a smile.

"I see. Weijun, leave someone to wait for us, and you can go about your business."

Lu Li said casually, but Xue Weijun was torn.

There weren't many people who could call him by his name. However, Xue Weijun shook his head without showing any emotion, "I have nothing to do today. Mr. Lu, please go ahead, I'll wait here."

"Alright. Leave your phone number, and I'll call you when I'm done."

"Alright."

They exchanged phone numbers, and Lu Li walked to Xiao Junlan's side, saying softly, "Mom, let's go in."

"Oh."

Xiao Junlan moved her feet, each step feeling as heavy as a thousand pounds. Moved by the scene, after just a few steps, her eyes were already red, and tears kept falling.

Lu Li sighed inwardly, reached out to support Xiao Junlan, and said, "Mom, don't forget that you still have me."

Hearing this, Xiao Junlan's body stiffened, and her eyes showed more relief. Her steps became more determined.

At the entrance to the quadrangle courtyard, there was a guard post. As soon as they approached, they were stopped.

"Sorry, please show your identification," one of the guards said politely.

"Get out of the way."

Since he had decided to be arrogant, he would be arrogant to the end.

Lu Li pushed the guard aside and sneered, "Tell Xiao Yuchuan that his sister has returned."

"Commander Xiao's sister?"

The guard was startled. Lu Li glared at him, "I'll count to ten. If I don't see Xiao Yuchuan, I'll break in."

"You—"

The two guards were immediately frightened. Thinking that if the woman was really the commander's sister, hitting her would be in vain. One of them quickly signaled to his colleague and turned to run into the guard post to make a call.

After the call, the guard looked at Lu Li and his mother with suspicion and called to his colleague, "Let them through."

Lu Li supported Xiao Junlan and walked toward the quadrangle courtyard. Just as they reached the entrance, a young man and a middle-aged woman suddenly rushed out.

The middle-aged woman saw Lu Li and immediately screeched, "You bastard, how dare you break my son's leg! You and your mother are both ungrateful wolves!"

"Huh?"

Hearing the middle-aged woman's scolding, Lu Li suddenly felt Xiao Junlan's body tremble, and her face turned pale. He instantly became furious, let go of his mother, and quickly stepped forward, raising his hand and slapping her hard.

With a crisp "slap," the middle-aged woman spun around and fell to the ground. She looked at Lu Li in disbelief, as if she were scared.

"How dare you hit me?"

Seeing the middle-aged woman hit, the young man who had come out with her immediately became furious and punched Lu Li.

Lu Li sneered, grabbed his wrist, and with a sudden force, broke his arm. He then kicked the young man in the stomach, sending him flying.

"You... you..."

The middle-aged woman was finally scared, trembling and pointing at Lu Li, but unable to say a word.

Lu Li glared at her coldly, turned to Xiao Junlan, and said, "Don't take this泼妇 (vulgar woman) seriously. Grandfather is inside. Let's go in."

Xiao Junlan nodded woodenly, about to step forward, but then saw another middle-aged man walk out of the courtyard, who looked somewhat like her.

The middle-aged man looked at the woman who had fallen to the ground with a swollen left cheek, and the young man with a broken arm and a terrified look, and his face instantly turned dark.

He looked at Xiao Junlan and laughed in anger, "Sister, my dear sister. Beating an elder and bullying a brother, this is the good son you raised!"
