Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Chapter 1043

Chapter 1043: Agreed

“Aren’t those three conditions a little too harsh?” Chen Shanjin looked at Lu Xingzhi with a troubled expression. Lu Xingzhi not only wanted to disallow Chen Feitang to enter the special forces, but he also wanted Wang Quansheng to withdraw from the army; he would not even agree to a transfer. It was obvious he wanted none of the Chen family’s lackeys near him.

Chen Shanjin’s eyebrows twitched. He was outraged. It was not easy for the Chen family to train someone. Wang Quansheng had been in the army for two years, and his results were excellent. He was a good person, and he did not expect that his future would be ruined at the hands of his daughter, Chen Feitang.

It was also the Chen family’s fault for giving Chen Feitang too much freedom. That was why Chen Feitang could order the Chen family members around; that was how she destroyed them.

Old Master Chen saw Lu Xingzhi’s firm expression, and he knew there was no room for negotiation. The anger that Chen Feitang held in his heart was even worse.

If the person in front of him were not Lu Xingzhi, he would have been able to negotiate with them. However, he knew Lu Xingzhi’s temper. Furthermore, Lu Xingzhi was his savior, and his wife had also saved the Chen family’s only male grandson. The Chen family owed them, so they could not force Old Master Chen to negotiate with Lu Xingzhi.

Furthermore, the Chen family felt ashamed. Old Master Chen knew to put himself in Lu Xingzhi’s shoes. He had been happy with the news of his promotion, but in the end, someone slandered his name and made his family restless. If it were him, he would not be able to swallow that anger either.

For a time, the three of them did not say anything. Old Master Chen was there, so Chen Shanjin did not have the right to speak. Therefore, he waited nervously for Old Master Chen’s answer. He hoped that Old Master Chen could refuse Lu Xingzhi.

Indeed, Old Master Chen also wanted to find a way to reject that request or make up for Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao. After some time, Old Master Chen realized that he would have to give in to the younger man. It was either Lu Xhingzhi or the Liang family could make him do the same as well. He did not find a reason to get Lu Xingzhi to give up his conditions.

Finally, Old Master Chen nodded helplessly. “Okay, I promise you.”

There was nothing else that he could do. Even though Chen Feitang’s future was hindered, that was her own fault. It was not as if the Chen family did not support Chen Feitang. However, she had nailed herself to the wall. She acted on impulse and did something that she should not have done.

“I know that you are a man of your word, Old Master Chen. I believe you.” Lu Xingzhi nodded. He did not stay after he had gotten a satisfactory answer. Just as he walked out of the gate, he saw Chen Feitang, who had been asked to stand in the courtyard as a punishment.

The weather in Jindo City was about below ten degrees, especially with the night wind. It would feel as if a knife had whistled across one’s face. For a girl to stand as a punishment in such weather, it was indeed unbearable to watch.

However, Lu Xingzhi did not sympathize with Chen Feitang. If she did not meddle in his business, then he would be at home with his wife. Perhaps he could even get Jiang Yao pregnant in the morning.

Even though it was late when he left the Chen residence, Lu Xingzhi drove to Jin City; he did not return to the army barracks. He made his way to Zhou Weiqi’s home; he knew that he would have time to go back to the army in the morning for training.

Lu Xingzhi wanted to give Jiang Yao a surprise, so he did not call her to tell her that he was on his way.
