341: Chapter 234: Reaction 341: Chapter 234: Reaction The second watch of the night had arrived.
————-
“Good, I’ll be waiting…” Zhou Mikang rarely smiled, “Xiao Yuwen, you used to speak as though your words left no room for doubt, so how co they now create such ss?”
Xiao Yuwen glared bitterly at Zhou Mikang and got up to leave.
It was clear who had the upper hand and he was not foolish enough to stay and suffer more discomfort.
He deeply regretted his decision; if he had known it would turn out this way, he would have brought so help with him despite the sha.
Now, he had new injuries on top of old ones…
“When you bring people later, rember to bring so skilled ones so you won’t be unable to tell who is who once you go out,” Zhou Mikang said slowly, watching Xiao Yuwen’s retreating figure.
Xiao Yuwen stopped, turned around, and glared fiercely at Zhou Mikang, “Xiang Xin, I’ll do as you wish.”
The door opened, and Wang Quan and Fang Shengguo both looked at him.
“What are you staring at?” Xiao Yuwen gritted his teeth, glaring at the two n as he limped away.
“Teeth…” Fang Guosheng muttered under his breath.
Then, Wang Quan quickly got up and pushed the door open.
Seeing Zhou Mikang sitting comfortably, he bent down and ticulously searched the room.
Zhou Mikang glanced at him without a word, his eyes also scanning around.
After making three rounds, Wang Quan finally found what he was looking for in a corner.
Holding the item in his hand, his face showed disbelief, “So young, yet all false teeth…”
Zhou Mikang glanced at it and couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.
He had seen these kinds of detachable dentures abroad.
They weren’t available dostically yet.
He hadn’t expected Xiao Yuwen to have such a hobby of collecting them.
Could it be that he had anticipated a day would co when he’d be beaten toothless?
Jing Zhe’s move had indeed been ruthless!
Thinking of the usually gentle Jing Zhe accomplishing such a deed, Zhou Mikang felt conflicted.
He was in a greatly chaotic state, regretting marrying Chuxia soon and worried about her protection.
Yet, seeing soone caring so deeply about Chuxia made him feel uncomfortable…
After leaving Zhou Mikang, Xiao Yuwen first went ho, considering the communication issues.
The two housemaids of the Xiao family, Auntie Wang and Auntie Li, were making dumplings in the living room.
Zhou Aiping and Mother Xiao, Lu Yuer, along with Third Aunt Zhou, Liu Lingi, were chatting on the side.
Seeing Xiao Yuwen suddenly pushing the door and entering, everyone was stunned.
“This comrade…”
“Xiao Wen, what happened to you?”
Just as Auntie Wang intended to question Xiao Yuwen about why he didn’t knock before entering, Lu Yuer had already recognized her son and wailed as she threw herself at him, repeatedly asking what had happened to him.
Zhou Aiping also rushed over.
Seeing her husband in such a terrible state, she imdiately cried and collapsed to the ground.
Liu Lingi stepped forward, pulled her daughter up, and also began to cry—since her divorce, she had been living at her daughter and son-in-law’s ho.
Even if it was an act, she had to appear more distraught than Xiao Yuwen’s own mother.
Had the family not been taking an afternoon nap during Xiao Yuwen’s last return, this scene would likely have occurred then.
He frowned in disgust, said nothing, and returned to his own bedroom.
The won hurriedly rushed to the bedroom.
Mother Xiao: “Xiao Wen, tell Mom, what exactly happened?
Did you get into a fight?
You’re so grown up, why are you still fighting?”
Zhou Aiping: “Yuwen, speak up.
Who was bold enough to do this, just speak…”
Liu Lingi: “Xiao Wen, the pain is on you but hurts in Mom’s heart.
No matter who did it, Mom will demand justice for you!”
The two housemaids trailing behind were almost twitching at the mouth corners.
This mother-in-law was really shaless to a certain extent.
After the divorce, she had shalessly settled in here and constantly showed more affection for the young master than Madam Xiao herself did.
Ironically, Madam Xiao was a simple and honest woman who found nothing wrong with it and listened to everything she said.
But it made sense; Madam Xiao had only been brought over from the old ho not long ago, having spent her earlier days caring for her in-laws.
Such a virtuous woman couldn’t think badly of others.
Grateful for the dentures that seed absolutely secure, Xiao Yuwen privately thanked Young Master i, i Jie.
When i Jie had given him the dentures, he had accepted them due to pride but hadn’t expected them to be such a great help this ti.
Zhou Mikang!
Jing Zhe!
Furiously pulling open the door, and seeing the three won making a racket at the entrance, Xiao Yuwen irritably furrowed his brows, “Move aside!”
“Xiao Wen…” Lu Yuer grabbed his hand, “What exactly happened?
Let’s go to the hospital first, okay?”
“Exactly, let’s go to the hospital first.” Liu Lingi quickly agreed.
“I’ll deal with Zhou Mikang first then go to the hospital!” Xiao Yuwen said, looking towards Zhou Aiping, “This is all the good doing of your beloved Third Brother!” After saying that, he pushed her aside and limped away.
“Wasn’t he arrested?” Zhou Aiping looked puzzled, “How could he still beat you up like this?”
“Do you think I’m lying?” Xiao Yuwen turned back, his expression fierce as he glared at her, “Would I need to?”
“No, no…” Zhou Aiping waved her hands frantically, yet she was very puzzled inside.
Of course, Zhou Aiping knew about the troubles at the Zhou family.
Honestly, she didn’t feel much about it; they never cared for her anyway.
Her mom had divorced her dad, and she already had little affection for the Zhou family.
Now, it was utterly gone, even feeling a faint delight—didn’t they look down on the Xiao family?
Now let’s see if they still dare to do so!
It wasn’t until Xiao Yuwen’s figure had disappeared that Zhou Aiping ca back to her senses.
She looked doubtfully at Liu Lingi, who usually covered for her whenever she was negligent.
“Xiao Wen wouldn’t lie, he has his ways.
We can’t just sit around.
Now, if the Zhou family dares to pull such stunts, I think they really think they’re living too comfortably.” Liu Lingi glanced at a still dazed Lu Yuer, a hint of disdain flashing quickly through her eyes.
This woman, as foolish as a pig, how did she end up marrying Director Xiao?
“Sister Yue, Aiping and I are heading to the Zhou family.
Do you want to co along?”
Lu Yuer snapped out of it and quickly clutched her, “Go to the Zhou family for what?”
“They hurt Xiao Wen like that; of course, we need to settle the score!”
“Settle the score?” Hesitating for a bit, Lu Yuer nodded, “Whoever hit him, let’s find them.
Let’s ask Third Brother Zhou.”
“Big Brother Xiao will handle him, we need to make them pay for what happened to Yuwen in another way.” Liu Lingi said as she dragged her outside, “I want the Zhou family to give us an explanation!”
When Xiao Bingqi saw his son, his usually impassive face showed a rare hint of confusion.
With his current status, who would dare to treat his son like this?
“Who did this?” he asked directly.
“First Jing Zhe, then Zhou Mikang.”
“Zhou Mikang?” Xiao Bingqi automatically disregarded Jing Zhe, “Isn’t he under isolation for investigation?
How could he have beaten you like this?”
“That bastard Jing Zhe…” Xiao Yuwen reported in detail the unlucky incidents of his day, making Xiao Bingqi’s face turn as black as the bottom of a pot.
Yet now, he had to restrain himself.
The end was not yet clear, and with soone nad Long having interfered, Elder Wang also had to be wary.
Now, all he could do was wait to persuade soone surnad Ye…
Thinking this, a flash of inspiration struck him.
The Ye family here and that Ye weren’t the sa, but they were still a collateral branch.
If he could let this Ye go and through this Ye show goodwill to that Ye, could it possibly…
Even if there was a glimr of hope, it was worth a try.
Now being constantly pressured by soone surnad i, this feeling was too frustrating.
Being second in command was the position he aspired to!
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he sternly reprimanded his son: “You’re a disgrace, getting beaten up like this and still shaless enough to co to ?
Can’t handle your own problems, and you still have the face to whine about it?”
“Dad…” Xiao Yuwen was stunned.
Xiao Bingqi glared at him, “Dad what, go to the hospital and don’t embarrass yourself here.”
“Yes.” Xiao Yuwen was genuinely afraid of his father and could only hang his head and shuffle out, “Let Xiao Miao accompany you.”
“Thanks, Dad.” Xiao Yuwen’s mood instantly lifted.
Xiao Miao was a clerk among Xiao Bingqi’s subordinates, petite and pretty.
Xiao Bingqi had never allowed him to pursue her, but unexpectedly, he had relaxed at that mont!
