Lu An was shocked and almost spat out the water he had just drunk.
Kong Yan obviously did not expect her father to suddenly say such words. She frowned and said angrily to her father, "Father, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Hey! How can this be called nonsense? " Kong Jinshang did not care and waved his hand, "You're twenty this year and not young anymore. You're already old enough to get married. As your father, can't I make the decision for you? "
"Father, have you drunk too much?" Kong Yan's face sank completely. She stood up and said to Kong Jinshang, "Lu An is only twelve this year. What are you thinking about?"
"So what if he's twelve? Can't we just wait for him to grow up? " Kong Jinshang said indifferently, "Besides, nephew has such strength at the age of twelve. He has a bright future ahead of him. I've found you such a good husband. What are you not satisfied with?"
"…"
Just as Kong Yan was about to say something, Lu An finally couldn't hold it in any longer and hurriedly said, "Uncle Kong, I know that you have good intentions, but I really haven't thought about it. There's no need for you to worry about it!"
"Look! Look! " Kong Jinshang heard and anxiously slammed the table. He said to his daughter loudly, "You want to marry, but he doesn't want to marry you! Look at you, you're already so old. What if you can't get married? "
Lu An was stunned. Just as he was about to help Kong Yan say something, a figure suddenly stood up at the table!
"Uncle, Jing 'er is willing to marry sister Yan!"
This voice was very loud and clear. It directly covered all the voices at the table! Everyone turned to look at this person. Lu An was the same. He looked over curiously.
What entered his eyes was a young and handsome man. He was about twenty-six years old and dressed very well. However, in Lu An's eyes, his face was too sharp and even had a hint of ruthlessness and cunning. The face was born from the heart. Lu An faintly raised his guard against this person.
This person's name was Du Jing. He was a distant relative of Kong Jinshang. As for how far it was, it would take a long time to explain. When Du Jing's family was in trouble, he had sought refuge in the Kong Residence since he was six years old. It had been twenty years since then. It could be said that Kong Jinshang had watched Du Jing grow up, but it was also because of this that he knew very well what kind of person this kid was.
Du Jing was quite talented in cultivation. At the age of 23, he had broken through to Level 1 Celestial Master and became the mainstay of the Kong family. Three days ago, he had reached the late stage of Level 1 Celestial Master and was known as the man with the highest chance of becoming a Level 2 Celestial Master in the entire Kong family.
Kong Jinshang also thought highly of him and gave him many shops and warehouses to manage. He did not treat him as an outsider. However, Kong Jinshang also knew that although this kid had always been dutiful, his ambition was not small. If he could control it well, it would be a piece of good material. If he couldn't control it well, he might end up hurting himself.
Kong Jinshang also knew that this kid had liked his daughter since he was young. This was not the first time he had proposed marriage to her, but it was the first time he had done so in front of so many people.
"Sit down!" Kong Jinshang's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "I'm talking to a guest, why are you interrupting?"
"Uncle!" When Du Jing saw Kong Jinshang's attitude, he thought that he was really determined to marry Kong Yan off. He did not sit down at all and instead said even more anxiously, "Everyone knows of Jing 'er's sincerity towards Sister Yan. If Sister Yan is with me, I will love her with all my heart!"
"Shut up!!" Kong Jinshang roared furiously, scaring everyone at the table. Even the table shook for a moment!
Du Jing was startled, and his face became sluggish and ugly.
"Sit down!" Kong Jinshang glared and shouted, "Otherwise, get out of the Kong family!"
When these words came out, everyone immediately sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at Du Jing. Even the people beside him quietly pulled on his sleeves, urging him to sit down quickly.
Kong Jinshang was originally a person who cared a lot about his face. Du Jing's actions were simply embarrassing him in front of everyone!
When Du Jing was pulled to sit down, Kong Jinshang's face eased up a little. Kong Yan's face was also not very good. It was obvious that she did not like this Du Jing.
Lu An looked around and saw the awkward atmosphere. He said softly, "Senior, junior really does not want to think about these things so early. Sister Yan will definitely have her own considerations."
Kong Jinshang glanced at Lu An. After what happened just now, he did not have any interest in continuing this topic. He sighed and said, "Alright, let's eat!"
When everyone heard this, they continued to eat. Everyone was talking and laughing as they ate, as if nothing had happened just now. Only Du Jing was staring at the dishes with a dark face. The bowl and chopsticks in front of him did not touch at all.
After a while, a servant stood behind Du Jing and was about to take the plate that was finished in front of the person beside Du Jing. The servant carefully stretched out his arm between the two of them. Du Jing, who was staring at the dish, was startled by the sudden outstretched arm!
"Pa!"
Du Jing suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the servant's arm. Then, he turned his head and stared at the servant behind him!
"What are you doing?" Du Jing was furious and shouted, "Coming to take the plate without saying anything, are you trying to scare someone to death? Or are you scheming something?! "
That servant was shocked when he heard this and knelt on the ground with a 'plop'. He did not dare to raise his head and said anxiously, "This servant does not dare! This servant only wanted to take the plate away. It was not my intention to disturb you! "
Although the table was big, when this happened, it still attracted everyone's attention.
"Don't you know how to clear the plate? Don't you know how to speak? " Because of his anger, Du Jing's face turned red. He pointed at the servant kneeling in front of him and shouted, "You trash, you don't know anything. What do I need you for?!"
The surrounding people frowned slightly when they saw this scene, but they did not say anything. Even Kong Jinshang was the same. He knew that this guy was angry because of him and did not dare to say anything. Now, it was okay to let him vent.
Kong Yan also raised her head and frowned. Then, as if she was unwilling to look at Du Jing, she turned her head and talked with her friends.
"This servant deserves to die! This servant deserves to die! " That servant was obviously scared out of his wits. He quickly raised his hand and slapped himself with all his strength. Slap! Slap! Slap! His face turned completely red after a few slaps.
However, when Du Jing saw this scene, he did not think much of it. He suddenly raised his leg and kicked the servant's chest. With one kick, he fell down and said loudly, "You do deserve to die! Guards, kill him for me! "
"Yes!" The two guards outside the door said immediately. They quickly walked in and came to the servant's side. One of them grabbed the servant's arm and dragged him out.
"No! No! I don't want to die! Please have mercy on me! " That servant was so scared that tears gushed out. He kowtowed to Du Jing with all his strength. Bang! The sound was so loud that it shook people's heartstrings. His head was broken and bleeding!
However, this not only did not make people sympathize with him, but it also frightened the surrounding people. They looked at this servant with disgust, as if they were looking at a livestock that had disturbed them.
Just when this servant was about to kowtow a second time, he was pulled up from the ground by the two guards. They could not see blood here. If they wanted to kill someone, they had to go to the backyard. They dragged the servant out.
"Master! Wu wu … Miss! I don't want to die. I must … Don't kill me … "
"This servant begs you. I really don't want to die. Please spare my life …"
"…"
Everyone turned a deaf ear to this person's cries. Or rather, they only frowned even more. Being disappointed by a servant was simply the most annoying thing.
Even Kong Yan was the same. She did not say a word. She just continued to chat with the people beside her. However, she did not notice that her face was getting gloomier.
"Pa!"
Suddenly, the table was slapped with a great force. Even all the dishes on the table jumped up. The huge sound directly scared everyone. Even the guards who were about to step out of the door stopped immediately!
"Put him down!" Lu An shouted loudly. His face was gloomy like never before!
