I Became the Eye Candy: Four Bigshots Claimed to be My Dad? Chapter 80: Beat Him, Just Leave Him Breathing

"Second Uncle," Ye Qianning called out as she walked up to him.

The sound of her voice, so out of place in the grim atmosphere, made it all the more unsettling.

"Uh... uh..." Xiang Mingli was flustered, not daring to even look at Ye Qianning’s face.

"Do you want to live or die?" she asked.

"..."

Xiang Mingli subconsciously took a step back. "What are you doing...? I’m your second uncle."

"I’m only asking because you’re my second uncle. Otherwise, you’d already be dead," Ye Qianning said with a smile.

The combination of her smile, her voice, and her words was a triple tornt to Xiang Mingli’s nerves. ’Could a little girl really say such things?’

"You... Let tell you, if you dare to touch , don’t even think about staying in this family—"

"If anyone’s getting kicked out, it’s you," Ye Qianning interrupted, her killing intent surging. "This is my father’s estate. I’m the master of this house. As for your Second Branch—Hah!"

His anger flaring at her words, Xiang Mingli’s fear was washed away by rage. "You little bastard! Don’t push your luck."

"Running your mouth and insulting the head of the house. If I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll never learn who’s really in charge," Ye Qianning said with a wave of her hand.

Four figures—Du Yi, Du Ying, Luo Wen, and Luo Xuan—appeared abruptly in the courtyard.

"Eldest Miss."

Xiang Mingli stared in shock at the people who had suddenly appeared. ’Xiang Minghou actually assigned Hidden Guards to this little bastard?’

"Beat him. Just make sure he’s still breathing."

’I will make them pay, bit by bit, for every grievance my father has suffered—even if they are family.’

"Yes, miss."

The four acknowledged the order and advanced on Xiang Mingli.

Xiang Mingli panicked, scrambling backward. "You dare! You little bastard, you dare! If you dare hit —AHH—"

A flying kick from Du Yi slamd squarely into his chest, sending him airborne.

The other three showed no rcy.

"AHH! Help ! You little bastard, you just wait...!"

"Soone help! Mother...!"

As the wind swept through, Yuehua Small Building echoed with Xiang Mingli’s agonizing screams. Maids and servants watched from a distance; so, the Second Master could get a beating too.

The butler, hiding behind a wall, made a silent vow. ’From now on, I must follow the Eldest Miss’s lead. She’s absolutely ruthless!’

The concubines, peering from their windows, watched with great relish. ’This is so satisfying! It’d be best if they beat him to death.’

The naturally timid Liu-shi didn’t dare to intervene. ’He’s the Second Master. How will we explain this to the Old Matriarch?’

Fourth Granny, however, felt this was exactly the right thing to do. ’If you don’t have any authority in this estate, you’ll just get bullied in the future. Be tough, and people will give you a wide berth. For soone like Xiang Mingli, a good beating is exactly what he deserves!’

Ye Qianning leaned against a pillar, her eyes narrowed, watching the blood-soaked man with a blank expression.

’Xiang Mingli is just the beginning. If the Old Matriarch wants to stir up trouble, I won’t go easy on her either. Do they really think I’m so pushover?’

’Family? Who needs family like this!’

Du Yi and the others didn’t stop until Xiang Mingli passed out.

"Throw him back to his quarters," Ye Qianning ordered. "And give the Old Matriarch a warning: if she wants Xiang Siyan and Xiang Zhenzhu to attend Lou Mountain Academy, she’d better stop her scheming." It turned out Ye Qianning knew how to pull strings, too.

"Yes, miss."

After dealing with the matter, Ye Qianning returned to her room. The concubines rushed over to her. They had thought the little girl was a pushover, but it turned out she was more ruthless than anyone—and an academic prodigy on top of that.

Now, the concubines were completely captivated by Pangtuan!

At noon, Ye Qianning replaced the doctor’s prescription with dicine grown in her spatial dinsion. It wasn’t until that afternoon that Xiang Minghou groggily awoke, his resolute face looking utterly haggard.

His physical injuries had healed, but the wounds of his suppressed spirit were harder to nd.

"Pangtuan, Dad is fine," Xiang Minghou said, not wanting her to see him in this state. "If you want to go to Lou Mountain, I’ll have soone take you... COUGH, COUGH, COUGH..."
