237: Chapter 236 [2 Your sister, anyone else not convinced?] 237: Chapter 236 [2 Your sister, anyone else not convinced?] Luo Yan glanced at her son Ye Tianchen and knew he was making a lot of sense.
She too could clearly see that the mbers of the Luo family never regarded her and Ye Tianchen as their kin.
From the mont she and her son entered the Luo family’s house until now, they had treated the two of them as outsiders, showing no regard for familial bonds, not once considering that, no matter what, everyone was connected by blood, the flesh bound to the bone, and it shouldn’t co to fighting with weapons.
In the eyes of these people of the Luo family, she, Luo Yan, and her son Ye Tianchen were re outsiders, two people they could command or insult at will.
Especially now, over the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box, they wouldn’t hesitate to turn hostile, even seeming ready to call guards to seize her and her son.
Under these circumstances, remaining silent would indeed be foolish.
In the beginning, Luo Yan had harbored so illusions.
She thought that no matter what, they were all family, and even if disputes got severe, they were still family and wouldn’t harm her or her son severely.
But now, for the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box, they stooped to insults and even physical attacks—what more was there to hope for?
Indeed, Luo Yan was no fool, quite the contrary, she was a very intelligent woman.
Her return to the Luo family was only to see her mother-in-law one last ti before her death; she held no wishes to connect with the Luo family.
She knew of their hostility towards her, especially from her brother Luo Qi and sister Luo Xiaoi.
When the mother-in-law planned to give her the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box as a wedding gift, Luo Yan had thought about leaving it behind and not contending with the Luo family.
Now it seed entirely unnecessary to leave it behind; keeping it would only lead to them fighting bitterly and wasting her mother-in-law’s goodwill unnecessarily.
“Hmm, just don’t cause any loss of life, after all, we were once a family!” Luo Yan sighed and said.
“Okay, mom, with those words, I can rest easy!” Ye Tianchen chuckled and replied.
No one expected that initially Luo Yan and her son Ye Tianchen, being attacked and interrogated by everyone, could actually seem to be slowly changing roles, mainly because Ye Tianchen was unpredictable.
Under such a barrage of attacks, he even went so far as to strike Luo Xiaoi and her son Zhang Yun, stunning everyone present.
Sotis force is not a bad way to resolve issues.
The reason Ye Tianchen struck was enough to stun those of the Luo family; it wasn’t because they were actually scared.
For people accustod to arrogance, especially those from a major family like the Luo family, almost no one dared to physically assault them.
The sudden sight of Ye Tianchen violently beating Zhang Yun and his mother left them quite shocked, especially now that Zhang Yun was bleeding profusely from his head.
With his mother Luo Yan’s agreent, Ye Tianchen felt even more unrestrained.
He had only been testing the waters before, as he felt no affection towards these Luo family fools and had no good impression of them.
Mainly, since this was his mother’s family, and his mother Luo Yan was kind-hearted and didn’t want to upset her, everything seed clearer now.
His mom had also realized that these people had long stopped treating her as one of their own, even calling guards over, which was telling enough.
Being polite and enduring might actually cost them their lives, better to let the son handle it.
“Is there anyone else foolish enough to want to detain us?
Step forward!” Ye Tianchen asked with a smile, sweeping his gaze over the people present.
“You little bastard, you’re way too arrogant, daring to cause trouble at our Luo family’s place, you don’t have enough lives for what cos next.”
“Call the guards right away, arrest this beast and shoot him on the spot!”
“It must be a shooting, an outsider dares to cause trouble in the Luo family, if word gets out, where will our family’s face go?”
“It seems it isn’t just about keeping the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box simple; we also need to catch this ignorant mother and son!”
Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, these older n of the Luo family were all so furious their lungs could explode.
The Luo family had prospered greatly, and their status wasn’t low, so who would dare to call them “things”?
Especially since Ye Tianchen struck Zhang Yun and his mother twice, although this mother and son were quite despised, the mbers of the Luo family were extrely cunning.
They naturally chose to stand united because only in that way could they retain the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box.
Once the box was secure, internal conflicts would ensue.
“Damn it, have you old immortals said enough?
Anyone who disagrees, stand up now!” Ye Tianchen stood next to his mother Luo Yan and shouted arrogantly.
Ye Tianchen was just that sort of person.
Since they didn’t consider him and his mother as family, not only trying to take what his grandmother had given them but also appearing keen to arrest and kill them, why should he remain polite?
His mother was kind-hearted, but he, Ye Tianchen, was not.
In this society, kindness is often mistaken for stupidity, considered easy to bully, and inviting intensified mistreatnt.
Today, he had to teach these old fools a lesson, partly to avenge his mother’s expulsion from the Luo family and to claim so interest back.
“You’re far too arrogant, do you really think the Luo family has no way to deal with you?
What do you think you, Ye Tianchen, are…” At that mont, a middle-aged man stood up, sneering at Ye Tianchen as he spoke.
“Well, I’d like to ask, what do you think you are?” Ye Tianchen asked, yawning.
“Hmph, I’m a generation older than you, already a mber of the Capital City political committee, and if we go by seniority, you ought to call your second…
uncle…”
Smack!
Before the middle-aged man could finish his words, Ye Tianchen slapped him away; this person had intervened several tis, targeting both himself and his mother, almost as much as that idiotic mother and son Luo Xiaoi.
This man also emanated a murderous aura—he was the one who had run out to call the guards, so naturally, Ye Tianchen did not hold back.
“You… you’re seeking death… Do you really not want to live?” The middle-aged man, slapped to the ground by Ye Tianchen, was sowhat dazed yet still fiercely shouted.
Bang!
Another kick—Ye Tianchen kicked the middle-aged man out of the hall’s doors, all the way to the outside, sporting considerable force that sent the slightly overweight man flying several ters away.
He heavily fell on the stone steps outside, screaming in agony, unable to get up.
This scene left many people dumbfounded, thinking if Ye Tianchen was a fool.
Ti and again, he had struck soone within the Luo family’s residence.
Did he really think he could co and go from the Luo family as he pleased?
Did he believe the Luo family’s guards wouldn’t dare to shoot him dead upon their arrival?
“Screw your sorrows, is there anyone else here who isn’t convinced?” Ye Tianchen disdainfully glanced at the middle-aged man screaming outside the doors and then at the other old farts present, casually asking.
This was genuinely beyond everyone’s expectation.
Initially, everyone thought that Luo Yan and Ye Tianchen, under pressure, would surely hand over the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box and, after so humiliation, leave, which would have been quite satisfying.
However, Ye Tianchen chose to shut everyone up with his fists instead of reasoning with them; and admittedly, it was an effective approach.
Against these self-righteous old farts, not showing so force indeed makes them think they’re untouchable due to their age.
“Don’t you think you’re being too excessive?
Even seeking death should have its right ti!” Luo Qi coldly said as he watched Ye Tianchen.
Ye Tianchen glanced at Luo Qi, pretended to squint as if his vision was impaired, and playfully frowned, “Are you talking?
Dammit, if you’re not convinced either, roll down here…”
“You…”
Luo Qi was nearly spitting blood in anger.
He was about to beco the Luo family’s head, had taken the central seat, and no one dared to object, which clearly showed that many were already wary of offending him.
Ye Tianchen’s disdainful attitude made Luo Qi unable to contain his explosive rage.
“Stop your nonsense.
If you’ve got the guts, co down here and fight .
I’ll beat you senseless!” Ye Tianchen continued irritably.
Facing these people from the Luo family, Ye Tianchen didn’t want to waste words anymore.
There wasn’t much to talk about with these people.
If you don’t show so toughness, they’ll take advantage of you, so Ye Tianchen chose to make a calculated strike, to teach these people a lesson they wouldn’t forget, to make them afraid and let him and his mother leave.
“Alright, alright, alright… Sister, since your son is so capable and arrogant, don’t bla , as your elder brother, for being rciless.
I’ll let him understand the Luo family’s rules, let him learn what ‘death’ ans!” Luo Qi’s face twisted in a sinister grin, his anger turned into a bizarre laugh as he spoke to Luo Yan.
“I told you you’re an idiot, and indeed, you are an idiot.
Don’t pull that crap.
Have you ever treated my mom as your sister?
If you want to fight, then co on, quit looking for excuses.
I’m busy!” Ye Tianchen interjected.
He knew his mother might soften, which would make his previous actions aningless.
He needed to portray the image of a haughty second-generation heir, to leave the Luo family without future trouble from them.
“You… I’ll make you pay with your life!” Luo Qi could no longer restrain himself, stood up abruptly from his seat, and vehently pointed at Ye Tianchen as he yelled.
At that mont, a group of ard guards rushed into the hall from outside.
This symbolized how the Luo family had beco such a powerful clan in the Capital City.
So of the major families and powers could have ard family guards or even soldiers, such as the Qin family and the Luo family.
Reaching this level required high-ranking governnt or military officials.
Thus, though the Luo family was neither a political nor military family, they could still have ard guards, and even muster a company-sized troop.
It was clear that the Luo family was not to be underestimated.
“Brother, why waste words with this bastard and his mother?
Kill them!”
Luo Xiaoi and Zhang Yun, seeing their family’s ard guards rush in, showed smug expressions once more, feeling utterly invincible.
In front of their ard guards, they believed Ye Tianchen wouldn’t dare to act, giving them the perfect chance to kill Ye Tianchen and Luo Yan.
