Chapter 995 Gao Xiao'e Gets Slapped in the Face
At this moment, all bystanders outside the Xiao family's gate had already been driven aside.
Today is the wedding day of the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, and Xiao Yuanqing has already arranged for someone to guard her.
"Who are you calling a bastard! Who are these irrelevant people?"
Gao Xiao'e was unwilling to come in the first place, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but shout at him loudly.
Seeing this, Xiao Min quickly reached out to pull her daughter.
But when the gatekeeper heard Gao Xiao'e's angry rebuke, he immediately shouted, "Guards! Throw these two people out of here, the farther the better!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than two bodyguards rushed out of the side door and pounced straight at Gao Xiao'e and her daughter.
"You Xiao family are a bunch of bastards! Did you think we really wanted to come? Did you think we cared about your Xiao family?"
Gao Xiao'e's anger intensified.
They were, after all, close relatives of the Xiao family, and her mother had once been the eldest daughter of the Xiao family. Now, they were being driven away by the gatekeeper's servants. This was intolerable!
She already had a loud voice, and this angry shout immediately attracted the attention of many people near and far.
The entire capital knows that Young Master Ye and Miss Xiao are engaged today.
A crowd of onlookers had already gathered in the distance, all waiting to catch a glimpse of Miss Xiao's charm.
Seeing this, everyone curiously looked at Gao Xiao'e and her daughter.
"Where did these two come from? Don't they know today is Miss Xiao's engagement day? How dare they cause trouble in front of the Xiao family's gate?"
"Judging from their fine clothes, they must be from a respectable family. How can they be so blind?"
Xiao Min had been married out of the Xiao family for over thirty years, and her appearance was no longer what it used to be, so naturally no one could recognize her.
Just as everyone was discussing this, the two bodyguards pounced on her like wolves, grabbed Gao Xiao'e's arm, twisted it behind her back, and tried to drag her away.
Gao Xiao'e was, after all, a girl, and was no match for these two strong men.
He screamed in pain.
Xiao Min rushed forward immediately: "Let go of my daughter! How dare you lay a hand on her? Do you know who we are?"
Even Xiao Min, who always cared about her image, was furious at this moment.
This used to be her home, and she used to be the young lady of this place. Now her daughter is being treated like this by the gatekeeper!
"I don't care who you are! Today is our young lady's wedding day, and no one is allowed to cause trouble. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"
The lead bodyguard shouted angrily, while giving another man a wink, clearly intending to take Xiao Min down and drive her away as well.
"Isn't it just that stinky woman's engagement? Does she really think she's the daughter of the Jade Emperor, and everyone has to make way for her?"
This only added fuel to the fire, and Gao Xiao'e couldn't help but start cursing.
"How dare you insult our young lady?"
The bodyguard holding her flew into a rage and slapped Gao Xiao'e across the face.
The sharp "snap" was particularly jarring.
Gao Xiao'e, who had always been pampered and had never suffered any injustice, was stunned by the slap and didn't react for a long time.
Xiao Min, who was used to a life of luxury, was stunned by the sight and stood there for a moment, not knowing what to do.
Those watching from a distance shook their heads and discussed the scene.
"Those two women are such idiots, aren't they just asking for trouble?"
"Especially that young one, where did he get the nerve to insult the eldest daughter of the Xiao family? He's practically asking for death!"
After a long while, Gao Xiao'e finally came to her senses and immediately let out a hysterical roar: "You bastard! How dare you slap me in the face! I will never forgive you!"
As she spoke, she opened her mouth and bit the bodyguard's hand.
Just then, Xiao Min came to her senses and shouted angrily, "You dog of a servant, how dare you hit my daughter? Do you know who we are?"
She was so angry that her face turned red and her whole body was trembling.
The head bodyguard was taken aback by their appearance.
Anyone else would have been too scared to speak by now, let alone dare to shout like that.
He softened his tone and said in a deep voice, "No matter who you are, today is our young lady's wedding day, and we will not allow anyone to cause trouble. I advise you to leave obediently, lest you make a fool of yourselves!"
"Bullshit! You're all talking nonsense!"
What kind of bullshit is this, the wedding day of the eldest daughter of the Xiao family? Does that woman really think I care about her getting engaged?
"It wasn't your Xiao family who invited us; it was your current patriarch, Xiao Yuanqing, who personally invited us! Go and summon Xiao Yuanqing right now!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Xiao'e roared repeatedly, her emotions reaching a fever pitch.
Her series of angry roars stunned everyone present, who stared at the mother and daughter in astonishment.
"Who...who are you? Are you really guests invited by our master?"
The lead bodyguard quickly pressed for an answer.
"Mom, let's go! If Xiao Yuanqing doesn't fire these lackeys, we absolutely will not attend this engagement banquet today, and we'll make a huge scene!"
Gao Xiao'e shouted angrily, "The dignified Xiao family dares to let their watchdog deal with the Xiao family's aunt, and even dares to slap my face!"
"Xiao Ran and Xiao Yuanqing haven't given me an explanation, so today I'll make sure their engagement banquet doesn't happen!"
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard holding her trembled.
These two women are no ordinary people; otherwise, how could they dare to address the head of the family by his name?
"Excuse me, excuse me! May I ask who you two are... are you...?"
The lead bodyguard immediately lowered his posture and asked cautiously.
"Enough with the nonsense! Go and call Xiao Yuanqing out right now, and he must be here within two minutes! Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"
Gao Xiao'e covered her swollen cheek and roared angrily.
If she doesn't get a satisfactory explanation today, she will definitely cause a scene at Xiao Ran's engagement banquet!
Just as the two sides were deadlocked, an elderly man in his sixties walked out of the Xiao family's gate.
He saw the commotion at the door, glanced around, and instantly recognized Xiao Min.
The old man was Uncle Li, an old servant of the Xiao family. He had worked in the household when Xiao Min was still the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, so he naturally recognized her.
Seeing this, Uncle Li rushed over and angrily shouted at the head bodyguard, "Liu San! What are you doing? How dare you stop our Xiao family's young lady from entering?"
Uncle Li's angry shout sent a chill down the spine of the bodyguard named Liu San: "Uncle Li, you said... you said they are..."
"Nonsense! Of course she's our Xiao family's great-aunt, the eldest daughter back then!"
Uncle Li looked at Xiao Min's flushed face and red eyes, then at Gao Xiao'e who was covering half her face and looking angry, and quickly asked, "What exactly happened?"
"At least there's someone in your Xiao family who has eyes and recognizes your great-aunt!"
Upon seeing this, Gao Xiao'e immediately shouted, "I don't care who you are, go and call Xiao Yuanqing out right now! If he doesn't come to pick us up in person today and drive away all these lackeys, I won't let your engagement banquet proceed smoothly!"
As she spoke, she lunged at Liu San again.
She had never suffered such a loss in her entire life, and had been humiliated in the street!
By this point, Liu San and the other bodyguards realized that they had offended the wrong people. These two were actually the aunt and cousin of the Xiao family, and they had hit the cousin!
Liu San immediately knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly: "Miss, spare my life! Miss, spare my life! I really didn't know you were me, please have mercy on me!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face.
"You lackey! Saying these things is useless!"
Today, Xiao Yuanqing must personally come out to greet us, and he must also drive all of you away!
Gao Xiao'e roared angrily.
Uncle Li realized that things had gotten out of hand. His great-aunt had brought his cousin to offer congratulations, only to be humiliated by his own bodyguard. If word got out, wouldn't the Xiao family become a laughingstock?
He immediately gave a wink to a servant beside him, who understood and quickly turned and rushed into the Xiao family mansion.
