The man was also surprised by Lu Ming's words. He had expected Lu Ming to fight, but he was so cowardly, not even daring to make a move.
"A good-for-nothing like you, and you still want to threaten me?" the man said dismissively, looking at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming said to the flight attendant, "It seems he's unwilling to leave his seat. Then we'll have to take emergency measures, make the plane land, and call the police to take him away."
Remarkably, Lu Ming was very familiar with this procedure.
The flight attendant nodded and had already picked up the intercom, looking as if he was about to act on Lu Ming's suggestion.
Only now did the man panic.
He frowned, not out of fear of being arrested, but worried about delaying his journey. If he were locked up in the police station for a few days, it would be even worse.
Reluctantly.
The man raised his hand and let go of Jiang Mengxin.
He glared fiercely at Lu Ming, stood up with great reluctance, left the first-class cabin, and walked towards his seat in economy class.
In the face of the law, he had to back down.
Halfway through, the man turned back to look at Lu Ming and said, "I've memorized your face. When we reach Modu, I'll find you immediately. You wait."
Lu Ming smiled faintly, "Alright, I'll wait for you."
The man snorted coldly and walked to economy class.
Seeing that the situation had been perfectly resolved, the flight attendant and the flight attendant comforted Jiang Mengxin for a moment, then they also left.
Jiang Mengxin rubbed her sore shoulder, glared fiercely at Lu Ming, and questioned, "I asked you to protect me, and this is how you protect me?"
Lu Ming replied, "Is there a problem? There was no disturbance, no delay in the journey, and you successfully got your seat back. Haven't I done well enough?"
"Useless!" Jiang Mengxin cursed, "Look at your effeminate appearance, disgusting! If you were a man, you would have gone and dug out the other eye of that one-eyed man to vent my anger!"
Lu Ming gave a wry smile, "We're on a plane, we can't do that."
Jiang Mengxin scorned, "Can't, or dare not? Lu Ming, I used to think that although you were penniless, at least you were brave. I didn't expect you to have lost your only good quality now. You spineless coward, timid as a mouse. Get lost, go sit in your economy class. Seeing you makes me angry."
Xu Qin also cursed, "Are you deaf? Why are you still standing there? Get out!"
The mother and daughter unleashed a barrage of insults at Lu Ming, leaving the surrounding people stunned, not understanding what was going on.
Lu Ming had helped them, yet instead of receiving any thanks, he was being scolded.
What kind of situation was this?
Lu Ming was long accustomed to it. He turned and left silently, returning to economy class.
In economy class, Lu Ming was once again glared at fiercely by the one-eyed man, a palpable killing intent radiating from his eyes.
...
The distance from Jinling to Modu is very short, and the plane landed not long after.
Modu, arrival!
Lu Ming and Xiao Yao followed behind, carrying bags and dragging suitcases; Jiang Mengxin and Xu Qin walked ahead, dressed ostentatiously.
If one didn't know better, they would have thought Lu Ming was Jiang Mengxin's servant.
People from the Xiao family were already waiting at the airport. Upon seeing Jiang Mengxin, they hurried to greet her and then drove Jiang Mengxin and the other three to the Xiao family's residence.
Along the way, towering buildings passed by, dazzling the eyes.
Jiang Mengxin said, "As expected of Modu, the nation's number one economic city, an international metropolis. Just from these skyscrapers, one can feel the international flair. It's much more prosperous than our Jinling."
Xu Qin laughed heartily, "That's right. That's why your mother was unhappy when I married from Modu to Jinling! If it weren't for the powerful Jiang family, I absolutely wouldn't have left Modu for Jinling."
The mother and daughter lavished praise on Modu.
In the back seat of the car, Lu Ming smiled wryly and shook his head, looking out the window and saying, "Modu has its advantages, and Jinling has its beauty. Jinling's historical depth, the fusion of city and nature that Jinling advocates, Jinling's plane trees – these are things Modu doesn't have. There's no need to praise one and put down the other. If I had to choose, I'd still prefer Jinling."
Hearing this, Xu Qin's eyelids drooped, and she said unhappily, "Did I ask for your opinion? You just blabber on. You have no ambition, only knowing how to stay in such a small place and waste away! Bringing you to Modu this time is also to broaden your horizons and let you experience the splendor of an international metropolis, understand? Country bumpkin."
Lu Ming chuckled and said nothing more.
An hour later, the car stopped in front of a skyscraper.
This was the main base of the Xiao family.
Xiao Wenrong, the head of the Xiao family, along with his eldest son, Xiao Zhan, and other members of the Xiao family, stood at the entrance of the building, smiling as they came to greet them.
"Oh, my, my, President Jiang, Sister Xu, you've finally arrived!"
Xiao Wenrong walked up with a smile, shook hands with Jiang Mengxin and Xu Qin, but completely ignored Lu Ming and Xiao Yao behind them.
Xiao Yao was just a secretary, so being ignored was understandable, but Lu Ming was Jiang Mengxin's fiancé and an important member of the Jiang family. The fact that Xiao Wenrong didn't even acknowledge him showed how much he looked down on Lu Ming.
Xiao Wenrong said, "My Xiao family was nurtured by Elder Master Jiang. We've always wanted to repay the kindness of the Jiang family. For the past year, we've sought cooperation with the Jiang family multiple times, aiming to achieve a win-win strategy of mutual benefit! Heaven rewards the persistent. President Jiang, you've finally come, and you've finally given me, Xiao, an opportunity to repay the Jiang family. Come, let's not stand outside, please come inside!"
Xiao Wenrong ushered Jiang Mengxin and Xu Qin inside.
But it was awkward...
When Lu Ming and Xiao Yao were about to walk in, the eldest son of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan, directly blocked their path.
Lu Ming looked at Xiao Zhan in confusion, "You're blocking the way."
Xiao Zhan sneered, pointed to a side door, and said, "The entourage uses the side door."
Entourage?
Lu Ming's face showed displeasure, and he said, "I am not an entourage."
Xiao Zhan chuckled, "I know, your name is Lu Ming, and you are President Jiang's fiancé."
Lu Ming retorted, "Since you know my identity, why are you asking me to use the side door?"
Xiao Zhan leaned his head close to Lu Ming, poked his shoulder, and sneered, "I also know that you're just a grave-watcher, a piece of trash, the Jiang family's live-in son-in-law! Trash like you, letting you use the side door is already showing respect for President Jiang. You'd better behave yourself and stop yapping, otherwise, I'll twist your head off and shove it up your backside!"
The atmosphere immediately became tense.
Lu Ming clenched his fists and glared fiercely at Xiao Zhan.
At this moment.
Secretary Xiao Yao walked past Lu Ming, directly heading towards the side door, saying as she walked, "Young Master Xiao is right, aren't you just a live-in son-in-law? What, are you angry, your pride is hurt? You have no ability, but you have quite a temper. Bah."
