Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

“What the hell do you want!” The Dugu Family matriarch didn’t know what particle beam guns were. She looked at Su Huiqing and snorted. “How dare you threaten me. Guns? Do you have any idea who the Dugu Family is?!”

With that, she looked toward Dugu Heng and smiled wickedly. “Little Heng, they are such violent, brutish people. We should be able to just kill them, right?”

She knew Dugu Heng’s character very well. He would never tolerate people who dared to challenge him so audaciously.

But this time, Dugu Heng didn’t lose his temper.

He also didn’t speak.

He just gazed thoughtfully at Su Huiqing. The particle beam gun was the newest product from Apollo. Even Dugu Heng hadn’t been able to get one for research.

Apollo was the Number One Arms Dealer.

Dugu Heng had carried out quite a number of deals with Apollo. That man was sly and devious. It was impossible to gain the slightest bit of advantage over him.

Dugu Heng’s pupils dilated before he chuckled. His eyes shone with admiration. “You are one plucky girl.”

In the entire International Association, only a few people would dare speak to him like that. And they were all insane.

Even the previous generation’s commander-in-chief would not dare.

Even Song San, one of the candidates for this generation’s commander-in-chief, had to treat him with the utmost respect in order to gain his support.

“It’s useless to praise me.” Su Huiqing gave off an air of magnificence. She shot the Dugu Family matriarch a cold glance. “Dugu Family Head, you should teach your family members some manners. If any of you crosses my mother again… you should know that guns sometimes misfire.”

Dugu Heng’s smile faded at that. He gave the Dugu Family matriarch a sharp look. “I have indeed failed on this account.”

Su Huiqing didn’t bother listening to him anymore.

She just left, pulling Su Ruohua along with her.

Before they left, Dugu Wu glanced at the Dugu Family matriarch’s grim face, and couldn’t resist speaking up. “Sir, you are so unfair. Are you going to let them leave just like that?! Grandma apologized to them, and it is only right they should apologize too!”

“Apologize?” Dugu Heng started to turn and leave. “When we return, you better give me a good explanation of why you sought out Su Ruohua!”

The Dugu Family matriarch’s face changed.

Dugu Heng hated it when others interfered with his personal affairs.

At this point, she no longer cared about how the Su Family mother-daughter duo humiliated her. She only worried about how angry Dugu Heng would be later.

Meanwhile sitting in the car, Dugu Wu was deep in thought and feeling rather frustrated. She noticed very clearly how protective Dugu Heng had been toward the mother-daughter duo.

Each mired in their own different thoughts and moods, the group of folks arrived back at the Dugu Family residence.

“Sir, Master Yu is here. He is waiting for you in the study.” The butler greeted them, looking somewhat discomfited.

“Yu Shijin?” Dugu Heng narrowed his eyes. “I got it. You may leave.”

The Dugu Family matriarch heaved a sigh of relief only after Dugu Heng went upstairs.

“Grandma, don’t be angry.” Dugu Wu poured a cup of tea for her.

“How can I not be angry?” The Dugu Family matriarch smacked the table viciously. “Look at Little Heng’s behavior today. He actually forced me to apologize to that bitch!”

“Eh, he is already so protective of the Su Family now. What if he marries Su Ruohua in the future? Will there still be any place for Grandma?” Dugu Wu lowered eyes to conceal the glint in her eyes.

The Dugu Family matriarch went quiet as a flurry of thoughts raced through her mind.

If this was before, she would never have thought that someone of that status could enter the Dugu Family. But looking at Dugu Heng’s attitude today…

Dugu Heng had been so protective toward them even though Su Ruohua already had a daughter…

“Little Wu, Master Yu has arrived at the Dugu Family residence today.” The Dugu Family matriarch looked at Dugu Wu with shining eyes. “You have to make use of this good opportunity. You have met him before. He is even more handsome than Song San, and his power is not at all inferior to Song San’s. Song San treats Little Heng with so much respect, while Little Heng has to behave so cautiously in front of Master Yu. It will be even better for you to marry him instead of Song San.”

She was well aware of the current situation. If that Su Family mother-duo became members of the Dugu Family, both she and Dugu Wu would lose all status.

After all, Dugu Heng was the one with the true power. She might be Dugu Heng’s mother, but she didn’t really possess any real authority.

Only if Dugu Wu married Yu Shijin would they be able to suppress the Su Family mother-duo!

“But that Master Yu is so aloof.” Dugu Wu lowered her eyes.

The image of Yu Shijin’s cold, harsh manner surfaced in her mind. She couldn’t help blushing.

The Dugu Family matriarch’s eyes shone as she continued to scheme. “Don’t worry, you already have a marriage contract with him anyway. Go and change into a prettier outfit, and wait for him to come downstairs…”

Right after she spoke those words, the voices of Yu Shijin and Dugu Heng could be heard as they made their way down the stairs.
