Chapter 812: Rushing Over
Chapter 812: Rushing Over
Yu Xia’s words were like stirring up a hornet’s nest. Families like theirs feared superstitions the most. Without thinking, Mother Wei raised her hand and slapped Yu Xia again.
"At your age, you still can’t speak properly. If you can’t speak, then don’t. Someone slap her mouth till she can’t speak anymore." Mother Wei commanded her bodyguard with anger to slap Yu Xia.
The bodyguard looked at Yu Xia’s thin face and hesitated, his blows were soft.
"Didn’t you eat? Hit her, hit her hard." Mother Wei pointed her sharp manicured nail at Yu Xia’s face, speaking in a sharp tone.
On the other side, Lin Mengyao, also restrained by bodyguards, saw the blood at the corner of Yu Xia’s mouth, her eyes reddened, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Target me with whatever you have, don’t hit her, do you hear me! Stop it! I’m telling you to stop!" Lin Mengyao shouted loudly.
But Mother Wei wouldn’t listen to her. Seeing the two’s painful expressions, she felt particularly relieved, as if the frustration pent up in her chest these days had dissipated a lot.
The bodyguard saw Yu Xia’s swaying form and could no longer bear to continue. He turned and looked at Mother Wei in embarrassment, asking, "Do we keep hitting? She looks like she’s not going to make it."
"Hit her. Why not? I didn’t tell you to stop, so keep hitting her." Mother Wei glanced at Yu Xia and then at the sobbing Lin Mengyao, speaking triumphantly.
"Don’t hit anymore, no more!" Lin Mengyao cried out.
"You think you can just tell me to stop and I will? Who do you think you are? My son suffered all those damages in your family’s hands; you think it’s that simple to be done with it? Let me tell you, no one bullies my son without paying tenfold, a hundredfold."
Mother Wei spoke as she walked towards Lin Mengyao, raising her hand and giving her a slap, her expression showing satisfaction.
"Don’t think just because you have the Xu Family backing you, you can swagger around Shangjing. You should know there’s always someone better; the Xu Family is nothing to me. Hurt my son, and expect retaliation." Mother Wei shook her aching palm as she spoke.
"Today is just a small lesson. If you are sensible, apologize to my son and make him happy enough to forgive you. Our Wei Family might let this go and let you off." While saying this, Mother Wei raised her chin high, leaving only her nostrils visible to Lin Mengyao.
"But if you continue to be so ungrateful and obstinate, I’ll make you regret coming into this world. Everything the Xu Family now has, I’ll destroy. I’ll make you scurry away from Shangjing like street rats." Mother Wei threatened.
"Oh really? I didn’t know since when the Wei Family gained such ability to dethrone us Xu Family from our current status and make us scurry out of Shangjing in disgrace. I’m very curious as to where you get such confidence?" Xu Ke, with a stern face and a violent air in his eyes, walked in from outside the shop.
Entering the scene, he saw Yu Xia’s face covered in blood and passed out, and Lin Mengyao being held back, with a slap mark on her face.
"If you’d like to keep your hands, you’d better let go now." Xu Ke slightly moved his lips looking coldly at the two bodyguards.
Xu Ke was not alone. There were also two bodyguards following behind him, their aura even more imposing.
The two bodyguards from the Wei Family hesitated a bit, looking at Mother Wei.
"What are you looking at me for? You’re the Wei Family bodyguards, not Xu Family’s. Without my permission, I dare any of you to let go." Mother Wei retorted defiantly.
"I thought you were some tough character, but now it seems you’re nothing. A snot-nosed brat dared to touch my son."
Mother Wei said while walking to face Xu Ke, her eyes filled with undisguised malice and burning anger.
"Do you think you’re powerful? Do you think you can flaunt your wealth in Shangjing? Do you think you can hit my son and walk away scot-free?" Mother Wei’s eyebrows and eyes carried coldness as she spoke each word.
"Let me tell you, if you don’t apologize to my son now and make him happy enough to forgive you, the feud between the Wei Family and the Xu Family won’t end. Let’s see if a money-tainted businessman like you wins, or our Wei Family wins. You have only one chance, if you don’t treasure it, I assure you, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life." Mother Wei said harshly.
Mother Wei’s harsh words would have made any hot-blooded person stand their ground, but she faced Xu Ke, who dismissed her threats.
"Take back the madam and miss for me." Xu Ke didn’t even look at Mother Wei, instructing his bodyguards directly.
The bodyguards brought by Xu Ke were former soldiers trained professionally in the army. They could not be compared with Wei Mother’s institution-found bodyguards. Within just a few moves, Lin Mengyao and Yu Xia were taken back.
One bodyguard reached out to check Yu Xia’s breath, looked at the exposed wounds, then frowned and said to Xu Ke, "The injuries are severe, she might need hospital treatment."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go!" Xu Ke’s voice carried extreme coldness, with a barely noticeable tremor.
"Besides your face, where else did you get hurt?" Xu Ke received Lin Mengyao into his arms from the bodyguard, frowning tightly, his eyes filled with worry as he asked her.
Lin Mengyao, with swollen eyes, shook her head, "I’m fine, but Xiaxia was severely tortured by them. We need to get Xiaxia to the hospital quickly. I’m so worried about her; she’s like this because of me." Lin Mengyao clutched Xu Ke’s sleeve tightly.
"Quickly, to the nearest hospital here."
Seeing that Lin Mengyao seemed alright, Xu Ke attempted to head to the hospital, but Mother Wei and her bodyguards blocked the way.
"Who allowed you to leave? Who let you go? If you don’t give me a satisfactory answer here today, let’s see who outlasts whom!" Mother Wei looked at Yu Xia in Xu Ke’s arms with a face full of smugness and delight.
Having said so much, only for Xu Ke to ignore her entirely was a huge insult to Mother Wei, something she couldn’t leave unavenged.
Mother Wei intended to use this to force Xu Ke to yield, which was the biggest insult and ridicule.
