Chapter 2070: The Limelight Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Earlier, a strange man had beaten up the Second Young Master of Dongfang Clan in front of Qiu Mu Qing? Moreover, Qiu Mu Qing had openly held the man’s hand as they left the restaurant? When Second Master Qiu Gang Yi of the Qiu Clan found out about this, his face turned red and he almost fainted from anger. Qiu Gang Yi’s eyes were cold as he said in a deep voice, “Qiu Mu Qing, that brat, has crossed the line! Doesn’t she know her actions will push Qiu Clan to the opposing side of Dongfang Clan? Let’s return to the clan!” Qiu Gang Yi took a deep breath as he motioned to the servant standing behind him to leave. His eyes contained a hint of anger as he looked in the direction of the Qiu Clan’s estate. ‘I’ll have to return to the clan and ask for an explanation from Qiu Mu Qing. What kind of man made her disregard the proper etiquette between a man and a woman? To think she openly held a man’s hand. The marriage alliance between Qiu Clan and Dongfang Clan is no longer possible because of this incident. It’s impossible for the Dongfang Clan to accept a woman with a tarnished reputation,’ Qiu Gang Yi thought to himself as his expression turned grim. The Dongfang Clan placed huge importance on their reputation. Today, many people had seen Qiu Mu Qing, the Young Miss of Qiu Clan, holding another man’s hand as she left the restaurant. That was enough to tarnish her reputation. The Dongfang Clan would certainly decline the marriage alliance with the Qiu Clan. During the journey back, Qiu Gang Yi’s expression turned grimmer as he thought to himself, ‘The Clan Leader has spoiled Qiu Mu Qing too much. I’ve never minded her behavior before this, but this time, she has acted too outrageously. To think she has destroyed the good relationship between the Qiu Clan and the Dongfang Clan. She has to be severely punished! Even the Clan Leader can’t protect her now!’ It was obvious Qiu Gang Yi was unaware that Qiu Mu Qing had brought the strange man back to the Qiu Clan’s estate. Moreover, she had even brought the man to her residence so he could stay there. “Second Master!” “Second Master!” At the entrance of the Qiu Clan’s estate, the disciples on guard duty greeted and bowed respectfully when they saw Qiu Gang Yi who had returned. “You! Have you seen the Young Miss? Has she returned?” Qiu Gang Yi asked in a deep voice as he looked at one of the disciples from Qiu Clan. “Yes. She has returned.” One of the disciples from Qiu Clan nodded. “It’s not just that. Young Miss brought a guest back as well,” another disciple from the Qiu Clan chimed in. “A guest?!” Qiu Gang Yi narrowed his eyes when he heard the disciples’ words. His breathing quickened as he asked coldly, “The guest that Young Miss brought back... Is he a young man dressed in purple?” His voice was so cold that it made the others shiver. “Yes.” Several disciples from Qiu Clan nodded. At this moment, they finally realized there was something not quite right with Qiu Gang Yi’s tone. They thought to themselves, ‘Does Second Master know the man that Young Miss brought back?’ ‘Is she trying to rebel?’ Qiu Gang Yi almost fainted from the anger when he heard the disciples’ words. He managed to calm himself down after he took a deep breath. Qiu Mu Qing had openly offended the Dongfang Clan when she left the restaurant holding the hand of the man who had humiliated Dongfang Zhu. This would undoubtedly cause a rift between Qiu Clan and Dongfang Clan. On top of that, she had even brought that man back to the Qiu Clan! Now that she had done that, was there any way to salvage the relationship between the Qiu Clan and the Dongfang Clan. Qiu Gang Yi was extremely furious that his face turned red again. When the disciple from Qiu Clan saw this, they did not even dare to breathe loudly. Qiu Gang Yi quickly walked into the Qiu Clan’s estate with a murderous expression on his face. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞 ... Meanwhile, Dongfang Zhu, the Second Young Master of Dongfang Clan, had returned to the restaurant in Clarity City. However, he was not alone this time. Two grey-clad old men stood next to him. It was obvious these men were elders who were sent out to avenge him. “He left?” Dongfang Zhu discovered the purple-clad who had humiliated him had left with Qiu Mu Qing. He was too late! Dongfang Zhu’s expression darkened immediately. “How cowardly! I can’t believe he left just like that!” However, he soon learned from the customers in the restaurant that Qiu Mu Qing had advised the purple-clad young man to leave, but the purple-clad young man refused to leave. When that happened, she had grabbed that man’s hand and pulled him out of the restaurant in front of everyone’s eyes. “Qiu Mu Qing grabbed that man’s hand and left?” Dongfang Zhu found this hard to believe. He did not think Qiu Mu Qing knew that man prior to today. How could she hold the hand of a stranger? Naturally, he thought it was impossible when he first heard about it. However, when he heard many customers saying the same thing and he recalled how shy Qiu Mu Qing was in front of the purple-clad young man, he felt that it might be possible after all! “Bitch! Bitch!” Dongfang Zhu cursed loudly. He was so furious he felt as though he was going to vomit blood. He did not think Qiu Mu Qing who had acted so conservatively in front of him would act so brazenly with a stranger. “Qiu Mu Qing is shameless!” “Someone like that doesn’t deserve to marry into our Dongfang Clan!” The two elders from Dongfang Clan were furious when they heard the words of the customers in the restaurant. They felt Qiu Mu Qing’s action was akin to slapping the Dongfang Clan’s face. Was there anyone in Clarity City who did not know the Qiu Clan and the Dongfang Clan planned to have a marriage alliance through their Young Miss and their Second Young Master? To think Qiu Mu Qing had acted so boldly and disregarded her reputation for the sake of a stranger. This was undoubtedly a humiliation to the Dongfang Clan. Dongfang Zhu and the two elders from the Dongfang Clan were still fuming when news came from the Qiu Clan. When they heard the news, they were further infuriated. “The Young Miss of Qiu Clan brought a purple-clad young man back to the Qiu Clan’s estate and allowed him to stay in her own residence?” The three people from Dongfang Clan were already furious when they heard about Qiu Mu Qing openly holding the hand of a strange man. They felt as though she had humiliated them. However, they became even more furious when they heard this news. “Bitch! Bitch!” Dongfang Zhu continued to curse as his eyes gleamed viciously. He thought to himself, ‘I swear I’ll have you under my body even if I can’t marry you. You’re going to regret your actions today, Qiu Mu Qing!’ At this moment, the people from Dongfang Clan could feel the piercing gazes of the customers in the restaurant. They felt extremely embarrassed that they found it hard to lift their heads. “Second Young Master, we should return to the clan! This matter no longer concerns you alone. It concerns the clan as well. Qiu Mu Qing and the Qiu Clan have gone too far!” One of the elders said to Dongfang Zhu before he flew out of the restaurant. He did not want to stay in the restaurant any longer than necessary. “Qiu Clan! Qiu Mu Qing! How bold!” The other elder from Dongfang Clan muttered before he flew out of the restaurant as well. Soon after, Dongfang Zhu followed suit and left the restaurant as well. His face was twisted with anger. He found the gazes from the people difficult to bear. He felt extremely humiliated. “This is a humiliation to the Dongfang Clan!” One of the customers said. Now that the people from the Dongfang Clan had left, they could speak freely. “I agree. Everyone in Clarity City knows about the marriage alliance between the Qiu Clan and the Dongfang Clan. Qiu Mu Qing’s actions have destroyed any chance of an alliance with the Dongfang Clan!” “I heard that Qiu Mu Qing did not want to marry into the Dongfang Clan anyway. I’m sure this is the outcome she had wished for!” “Her actions today are akin to giving the Dongfan Clan a slap. There’s no doubt it’s a humiliation!” “Yes. If the Dongfang Clan doesn’t do anything about the incident today, they’ll become a laughing stock in Clarity City!” Initially, words like that were confined to only customers in the restaurant. However, it did not take long before people in Clarity City were all saying the same thing. The Dongfang Clan was instantly pushed into the limelight!
