Chapter 43: Leaving the Jiang Family

"You don't want to drop out because you can't bear to part with Ning Mufan, right? Young Master Ning is handsome and strong. He's an important figure in his family… a far better man than my brother…"

Jiang Hanchen had heard enough. He stared at Tang Qiu with loathing, as if she were something vile and unspeakably offensive. "Get that slut out of my sight," he commanded.

The butler wasted no time in calling the guards. When the two guards arrived, they cast fearful glances at Jiang Shaocheng. If they threw Tang Qiu out, would he order his aide to attack them?
