Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 349 - 311: Princess Luowa (Second Update)

Carlos smiled and nodded, "Congratulations!"

Ni Lu frowned and said, "Brother, just congratulations aren’t enough. Luowa doesn’t have a title yet!"

Carlos stole a glance at Long Che. Luowa was, after all, part of Long Che’s family, and he dared not easily agree to Ni Lu’s request.

"Brother, what are you looking at him for? This is a matter for our family." Ni Lu unhappily glanced at Carlos.

Long Che coughed lightly, "Carlos, is it that difficult to give my daughter-in-law a title?"

With Long Che speaking up, Carlos quickly smiled, "I was just considering what title to give Luowa—Grand Princess Luowa! That works!"

Ni Lu gave Yi Luowa a meaningful look, "Quick, thank your uncle!"

"I..." Yi Luowa looked uneasily at Tong Airui. She had originally acted out of desperation, not expecting that her quick thinking would end up earning her the title of Grand Princess.

Tong Airui nodded, as if to say, "It’s just a title, pleasing Aunt Ni Lu is enough."

"This child!" Ni Lu smiled and nudged her, "Go on, thank your uncle!"

"Thank you, Uncle." Yi Luowa bowed deeply to Carlos.

Carlos chuckled and helped her up, "We’re all family, no need to be so formal. Once You Jia and Ni’er’s wedding is completed, Uncle will host a coronation banquet for you. I want everyone to know that Long Che’s daughter-in-law is the Grand Princess of the Carpenter Royal Family."

Yi Luowa stiffened slightly. What kind of joke was this? A coronation for her, an imposter princess?

Carlos looked at Long Che, whose face remained expressionless, and laughed, "Long Che, our Carpenter Royal Family took one of your daughters in marriage, and now we’re returning you another. Our families are even; neither owes the other anything. What you extend to You Jia, I will repay in double to Rui’er."

Long Che glared at him fiercely. His daughter-in-law had kindly accepted Ni Lu as her mother, yet this old fox dared not to show gratitude and instead played such games with him.

"Old fox, even if Luowa is the Grand Princess of your Carpenter Royal Family, her ’parents’ are Ni Lu and Jack, and that has nothing to do with you! Why don’t you find someplace to cool off?"

Carlos laughed heartily, "Haha... Don’t forget, I am Luowa’s uncle!"

Seeing the satisfied smile on Ni Lu’s face, Long Che couldn’t bear to upset her further, so he swallowed his irritation—for now.

Jack walked in after giving instructions to his subordinates, visibly relieved to find his wife’s emotions had stabilized.

Ni Lu glanced at him, "Are the arrangements done?"

"Yes, I’ve had them send her to Huang Sang Prison. Let her stay there for a few days, and after You Jia’s wedding, we’ll deal with her then."

Ni Lu felt a small pang in her heart, but seeing Yi Luowa standing beside her, that fleeting pain quickly vanished. After all these years, she had not mistreated Shi Qing, yet Xi Meichen had always played games with her daughter’s life. Reflecting on it now, letting Shi Qing go to prison was letting her off lightly—she should go to hell!

...

At the Royal Hospital in Country S, Shi Qing, whose nose was severely disfigured, gripped the headboard tightly, refusing to follow the group of burly men standing before her.

A towering man stepped forward, forcefully pried her hands loose, and dragged her toward the door.

Shi Qing screamed, "Lambert, I command you as a princess to let me go immediately! Or you’ll regret it!"

Lambert sneered, "Your command is nothing but an empty fart!"

"Who gave you the audacity to talk to me like that!" Shi Qing kicked him.

Lambert glared coldly at her, "Try kicking me again, you ugly hag!"

After being called an ugly hag, Shi Qing instantly flew into a rage. She lifted her foot and aimed another kick at Lambert.

Lambert dodged nimbly, then slapped her hard in return. "You still think you’re a princess who can bully us at will? Let me tell you, you’re not a princess anymore! You look down on us, but today you’ll taste what it’s like to be treated like a dog!"

Shi Qing was completely stunned by the slap and, before she could regain her senses, she was already dragged to the door.

Shi Qing clung desperately to the doorframe, screaming hysterically, "Who says I’m not a princess? Who’s spreading lies? Bring them to me—I’ll kill them!"

Lambert delivered a punch to her arm, and the pain left Shi Qing seeing stars, her hands limp at her sides. Lambert grabbed her and strode toward the elevator.

Shi Qing kicked at the ground furiously and shouted, "Lambert, kill me if you dare! Otherwise, as long as I live, you’re dead for sure!"

The threat ignited Lambert’s rage as he recalled the terrible things she’d done to him in the past. Grabbing her by the hair, Lambert slammed her head against the wall forcefully—once, twice, three times...

Shi Qing fell silent.

From a concealed corner, Kerry stepped forward and peered at the now unconscious Shi Qing.

"Ah—" Kerry gasped, recoiling in shock, "Her face—what happened to it!?"

Lambert lowered his head to look at Shi Qing. Not only was her nose collapsed, but now her jaw had shifted awkwardly as well. At this point, her face was unbelievably ugly, repulsive to behold.

"A fake chin!" Lambert remarked disdainfully.

Kerry pinched his own chin and angrily said, "She almost got me killed as a child. I thought she was my sister, so I endured it. Who knew she was an imposter? Lambert, I’m handing her over to you. In prison, don’t let her have a single day of peace. Whatever she’s done to you, repay her the same way!"

"Yes, Prince!" Lambert dragged Shi Qing like a dead dog toward the elevator.

As the elevator doors opened, Lambert tossed her inside. Her head hit the elevator wall and bounced back. Lambert kicked her back into place.

The men following behind exchanged subtle looks, lips twitching slightly.

One whispered to his companion, "The boss is really pissed."

The other replied quietly, "That vile woman nearly castrated the boss and fed his privates to dogs. If it were me, I’d beat her even harder. Now that she’s in the boss’s hands, she won’t die, but she’ll lose a layer of skin."

"The Prince said to leave her hanging by a thread. She’s tormented us enough; once we’re at the destination, we’ll deal with her properly."

As they spoke, they entered the elevator.

One of the burly men "accidentally" stepped on Shi Qing’s hand, pressing down firmly. Shi Qing let out a shriek and fainted again.

It wasn’t until the elevator doors closed that Kerry let out a deep breath and patted his chest. "That scared me. I need to get back to the palace for some comfort."

Kerry took another elevator downstairs. He dared not lay eyes on Shi Qing’s grotesque appearance!

Known for being unable to keep secrets, Kerry rushed back to the palace and shared the news of Shi Qing’s transformation into a monstrous figure with his brother Noah.

Noah’s lips curled into a smug smile. "She deserves it—her just deserts. She’s destroyed Mom and our family. From now on, don’t bring up ’Shi Qing’ in front of Mom anymore!"

Kerry nodded repeatedly, "I understand. Brother, where’s Mom?"

"She’s in the sleeping quarters chatting with our fourth sister-in-law... well, our sister."

Kerry pursed his lips and asked softly, "Brother, could this sister of ours turn out to be like Shi Qing?"

Noah glared at him, "Don’t talk nonsense! How could our sister be like Shi Qing? You’ve seen her before when she came to the palace. Isn’t she wonderful? I’ve heard that Mom can’t bear to be without her right now. Without her, Mom would’ve been ruined. If Mom were ruined, our family would’ve been ruined. From now on, consider her our real sister."

"Then we’re not searching for our actual sister anymore?" Kerry asked sadly.

"Fourth Brother... Brother-in-law just told Dad earlier that they’re searching together."

A smile emerged on Kerry’s young face, "Brother, if we find her, then we’ll have two sisters..."

"Kerry, what are you talking about? What do you mean two sisters?" Ni Lu’s suspicious voice rang out from the corridor.
