Chapter 297 Third Generation Family Slave
Ling Fan had some understanding of Peng Ming's fiancée, Xiao Chubing, having heard Peng Ming mention her before.
Upon seeing her, he could tell with his keen eyesight that this girl was not bad at all. He couldn't fathom why Peng Ming was so adamant about not approving of her!
Ling Fan sighed deep down and immediately stopped Qi Xueping, "Young sister, don't take it to heart. This kid is just like that. He often talks about you to me, rest assured. With me around, he wouldn't dare to mess around outside!"
Hearing this, Qi Xueping's eyes lit up, "Mm, have a seat first. I'll go make you a cup of tea!"
After Ling Fan's words, Qi Xueping's complexion noticeably improved, and she happily went out after greeting.
Seeing this, Peng Xiong sighed to himself, thinking that Peng Ming didn't know what good fortune he had cultivated in his past life to still have Qi Xueping's unwavering support when he treated her so poorly. Bu Zhen over there had long been dissatisfied with Peng Ming's attitude.
Ling Fan had a tough time too. As the saying goes, it's hard for an honest official to settle domestic disputes. This was his first time getting involved in such personal affairs, and he felt like he was unnecessarily poking his nose into other's business!
"Boss, have you got it wrong? Why are you siding with an outsider, and not supporting your own people? That's really not cool!" Peng Ming was quite frustrated.
"You, young man, better behave. Not realizing the good life you have, let me check your injury!" Ling Fan commanded.
Just now, his Divine Sense had picked up on a peculiar fluctuation of Origin Force from Qi Xueping. If Peng Ming were to marry her in the future, he would stand to benefit greatly.
"Alright, you're not badly hurt. Take good care of yourself. I and your uncle have some matters to discuss!" Ling Fan reminded him.
"You can't be serious. You just got here, and now you're leaving? Oh yeah, what do you need my dad for?" Peng Ming couldn't help but ask.
Peng Xiong was also a bit curious, "I wonder what matter Young Master Ling needs my help with!"
Ling Fan thought for a moment before saying, "It's nothing major. My wife is expanding our business in Central Sea. I hope we can collaborate with you, as your Tianlong Business Association has quite the advantage here in Central Sea. Besides, I assume you'd also like to explore more business channels, right?"
Hearing this, Peng Xiong quickly nodded, "Young Master Ling, we'd be honored to collaborate with you!"
"Hehe, I don't really know the specifics. You can discuss the details with Xiao Chubing later to see if it's a good fit!" Ling Fan said with a smile. He was just facilitating an introduction; he wasn't that adept at business matters!
At that moment, not far from Peng Ming's bedroom, in a different courtyard.
A young man stopped Qi Xueping, "Xiao Bing, what's going on? Were you crying just now? Did that kid bully you again?"
Qi Xueping wiped her face, irritated, "My business is none of your concern. You're here to see the young master, aren't you? He's inside, so go on in quickly!"
"F*ck, him a young master? He doesn't act like one at all. I should have killed him yesterday!" The young man said angrily.
At these words, Qi Xueping's expression changed drastically, "How can you speak like that, wishing for the young master's death? Are you trying to rebel? I hope you don't speak recklessly again next time. Be careful, or if the association chairman hears you, you'll regret it!"
With that, she turned and walked toward Peng Ming's bedroom with the teapot in hand.
The fury darkened the young man's face. He couldn't understand why Qi Xueping was so infatuated with that bastard!
"Damn it, Peng Ming, just you wait. With your pathetic ways, you still want to inherit the chairman's position? We'll see who has the last laugh. One day I'll crush you under my feet!" The young man thought bitterly to himself.
He then changed his expression to an innocent smile and followed Qi Xueping towards Peng Ming's room.
His father was the housekeeper for Bu Zhen, the first honorary chairman of Tianlong Business Association, and since his grandfather's generation, they had been serving the Qi family. By his generation, the Qi family had more or less fallen from grace.
Qi Xueping's father had passed away early, and now only her and her mother remained. By his generation, he could be considered the third-generation family slave of the Qi family. Yet, from a young age, he was ambitious and refused to be restrained by his fate.

He had always put in great effort to showcase himself, wanting to remove the label of being a family slave, and indeed, he lived up to the expectations, finally being promoted to the position of Deputy Secretary-General at the Tianlong Business Association!
But for him, this was still far from sufficient; the mere position of a Deputy Secretary-General couldn't satisfy him. He harbored a secret desire in his heart, to attain the chairman's seat.
However, if he wanted to take another step forward now and achieve higher success, it would be best to marry Qi Xueping. This silly girl, though, was stubbornly infatuated with that idiot Peng Ming, which was a real headache for him.
In Peng Ming's bedroom.@@novelbin@@
"Uncle, if there's nothing else, let's go talk in the living room and leave him alone for a while," Ling Fan spoke up.
At that moment, Qi Xueping walked in holding a teapot and called out to Ling Fan, "Brother, have some tea!"
Ling Fan smiled, "No trouble needed, I'll go to the living room. You stay here with this kid!
If he doesn't behave, feel free to beat him up, just don't damage his internal organs. I have spiritual medicine here, no matter how severe the injury, he'll be bouncing around in a few days!"
With that, he pulled out a handful of miraculous elixirs from his beast pouch and handed them to Qi Xueping, advising her, "Keep these safe. This guy doesn't like cultivation anyway, so don't hold back when you hit him!
Feel free to break his bones; just don't forget to administer these elixirs to him on time, they have the effect of tempering his bones and muscles!"
Qi Xueping blinked her big eyes in astonishment, looking at Ling Fan, "Brother, are you serious? Can beating him up really temper his body?"
Ling Fan nodded, "Yes, once these elixirs are used up, he should be more or less there!"
Qi Xueping pursed her lips and carefully accepted the elixirs Ling Fan gave her, treasuring them, "Such precious items, I'll use them sparingly!"
Peng Ming, lying on the bed, almost fainted from desperation, his face full of gloomy colors, almost vomiting blood, "Boss, I'm going to sever ties with you....."
Peng Xiong chuckled inwardly, guessing that probably only Ling Fan could handle this whippersnapper.
Ling Fan's intentions were indeed well-meant; naturally, he wasn't going to harm Peng Ming, but this way, it should also motivate the kid to engage diligently in cultivation, and perhaps he would restrain his attitude towards Qi Xueping a bit!
The elixirs he gave away did have the effect of bone tempering, but presumably, Qi Xueping would be reluctant to actually break the boy's bones!
Qi Xueping certainly understood Ling Fan's intentions and felt very grateful. She immediately gave Peng Ming a severe glare, conveying the message that from now on, he'd better behave himself; otherwise, she would not hold back anymore when hitting him.
Peng Ming's heart soured upon seeing this; he and Qi Xueping had grown up together, childhood friends who had shared open-crotch trousers. But later on, Peng Ming always managed to annoy Qi Xueping.
When Qi Xueping was frustrated, she would beat him up, but Peng Ming, always being lazy in his cultivation, never managed to get the better of her and got soundly trounced every time!
However, Peng Ming was notoriously stubborn and foul-mouthed; the less he could win, the more he would brag, and Qi Xueping wouldn't pamper him when she got angry — the angrier she got, the more she wanted to beat him up, and then she'd secretly wipe her tears afterward!
Actually, these two frenemies didn't have any deep animosity; it was just these trivial things, like children squabbling, but they just couldn't resolve it!
"Young Master, I heard you were injured, so I made a special trip to see you. Where are you hurt, is it serious?" Just then, the young man who had spoken with Qi Xueping earlier entered the door, inquiring about Peng Ming with concern. Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
Seeing this, Peng Xiong nodded, "Oh, it's Qiu Xu who's here. This kid is tough and resilient, he's not in any serious trouble!"
When Peng Ming saw the person who came in, he immediately felt furious, just lacking a place to vent his anger, and coldly snorted, "Oh, it's you, this third-generation family slave. What, did you come to gloat at my misfortune?
I heard you've been doing well lately, even rising to the position of Deputy Secretary-General. Should I let you sit in this Young Master's seat too?"
