"Who did you just call a wild boy?" Liu Xiaoyuan stepped into the room, his icy gaze shooting out, startling the arrogant Zhao Lanxiang into taking a step back.
Zhao Lanxiang had also heard about Liu Xiaoyuan and knew that the guy standing in front of her was the one who defeated Ye Sheng.
"I...I was talking about someone else." Zhao Lanxiang was the kind of person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Before Liu Xiaoyuan could even make a move, he was so frightened by her chilling gaze that he couldn't even speak properly.
"Apologize to Tang Xuan's mother right now, hurry up!" Liu Xiaoyuan said coldly.
"What? You want me to apologize to her?" Zhao Lanxiang thought she had misheard and pointed at Tang Xuan's mother with an incredulous look.
Asking Zhao Lanxiang to apologize to Tang Xuan's mother is impossible; Zhao Lanxiang has always considered Tang Xuan's mother as a mistress.
"Are you deaf? Hurry up, I don't want to say it again!" Liu Xiaoyuan said coldly.
Zhao Lanxiang said angrily, "Asking me to apologize to this bitch is impossible unless the sun rises in the west!"
"Slap!" Before Zhao Lanxiang could finish speaking, Liu Xiaoyuan slapped her across the face, leaving her completely stunned.
Tang Xuan and her daughter were also stunned, not expecting Liu Xiaoyuan to take action so directly.
"You dare hit me?" Zhao Lanxiang covered the half of her face that had been slapped, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
"I'm going to hit you, you bitch!" Liu Xiaoyuan said, and then slapped Zhao Lanxiang on the other side of her face.
After two slaps, Zhao Lanxiang's face was swollen, with clear fingerprints on it.
"Do you know where you are? This is the Tang family compound! You dare hit me? Believe me, I'll make sure you never leave the Tang family compound!" Zhao Lanxiang roared angrily.
"Hmph, the Tang family? Call Tang Zhongxin here and see if he dares to say that." Liu Xiaoyuan sneered.
"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, what's wrong?" As soon as you speak of the devil, Tang Zhongxin immediately ran over, followed by Tang Yiting and Tang Feilong.
When Tang Zhongxin learned that his wife Zhao Lanxiang had run to Tang Xuan and her daughter, he knew something bad was about to happen, so he ran over as fast as he could, but he was too late.
“Zhongxin, look, this brat has slapped my face so hard it’s swollen. You must stand up for me…” Zhao Lanxiang immediately began to cry to Tang Zhongxin.
When Tang Zhongxin saw the finger marks on Zhao Lanxiang's face, a flash of anger crossed his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
"Shut up!" Tang Zhongxin raised his hand and slapped Zhao Lanxiang across the face.
Although Tang Zhongxin was furious that Liu Xiaoyuan had hit his wife, Liu Xiaoyuan's strength was undeniable, so Tang Zhongxin could only suppress his anger.
To appease Liu Xiaoyuan, Tang Zhongxin had no choice but to personally beat his wife.
Zhao Lanxiang was surprised that Tang Zhongxin not only didn't speak up for her, but also hit her, which made Zhao Lanxiang throw a tantrum.
"Tang Zhongxin, you bastard, you coward! You can't handle outsiders, but you dare to take your own wife out! Tang Zhongxin, you bastard, you son of a bitch..." Zhao Lanxiang cursed loudly.
Zhao Lanxiang's words hit Tang Zhongxin's sore spots. Tang Zhongxin had no choice but to vent his anger on Zhao Lanxiang since he couldn't do anything about Liu Xiaoyuan.
"Shut up!" Tang Zhongxin slapped him again and roared.
Zhao Lanxiang was frightened by Tang Zhongxin's murderous gaze and immediately shut her mouth.
"Feilong, Yiting, what are you two standing here for? Hurry up and drag your mother away!" Tang Zhongxin shouted at the two of them.
"Brother Liu, my wife has offended you due to her ignorance. Please forgive her, as she is ill." Tang Zhongxin immediately put on a smiling face and said to Liu Xiaoyuan.
"Brother Tang, it seems your wife hasn't apologized to Tang Xuan's mother yet," Liu Xiaoyuan said casually.
Tang Zhongxin's smile froze. He knew that if Zhao Lanxiang didn't apologize today, Liu Xiaoyuan probably wouldn't let it go.
"Apologize quickly," Tang Zhongxin had no choice but to say to Zhao Lanxiang.
Zhao Lanxiang said angrily, "Tang Zhongxin, are you even a man? I was blind to have fallen for such a coward..."
"Shut up! If you don't apologize today, I'll beat you to death, believe me?" Zhao Lanxiang's words hit Tang Zhongxin's sore spot, making his face turn green.
Unable to vent his anger on Liu Xiaoyuan, Tang Zhongxin naturally turned his anger on Zhao Lanxiang.
Zhao Lanxiang stared intently at Tang Zhongxin and said angrily, "Tang Zhongxin, come on, just beat me to death today and see if you have the ability! Come on!"
Tang Zhongxin's words were just said in anger; he really didn't have the guts to kill Zhao Lanxiang.
Tang Zhongxin had originally thought that his outburst would make Zhao Lanxiang back down and apologize to Tang Xuan's mother. However, Zhao Lanxiang didn't play by the rules, leaving Tang Zhongxin in a difficult position.
If he doesn't hit Zhao Lanxiang, he won't be able to get past Liu Xiaoyuan; but if he really does hit Zhao Lanxiang, Tang Zhongxin can't bring himself to do it, since Zhao Lanxiang is his wife with whom he has shared a bed for many years.
Just as Tang Zhongxin was in a difficult situation, Tang Feilong immediately knelt on the ground: "Dad, Dad, please don't hit Mom anymore. Mom's health is already not good. Please don't hit her anymore."
After Tang Feilong finished speaking, he pleaded with Liu Xiaoyuan, "Senior Liu, please, please don't make things difficult for my mother..."
"Aunt Tang, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. Please, Aunt Tang, consider that my mother is ill and please don't hold it against her," Tang Feilong pleaded with Tang Xuan's mother.
"Feilong, get up! Don't beg them, get up!" At this moment, Zhao Lanxiang still had some backbone. She would rather be beaten to death by Tang Zhongxin than let her son kneel down and beg others.
Tang Xuan's mother was too soft-hearted and said to Liu Xiaoyuan, "Xiaoyuan, let it go."
Tang Xuan also stood up and said, "Xiao Yuan, forget it, don't make things difficult for her."
Since Tang Xuan and her daughter had said so, Liu Xiaoyuan glared at Zhao Lanxiang and said, "Consider yourself lucky today. You'd better watch your mouth from now on."
Seeing that Liu Xiaoyuan had relented, Tang Zhongxin breathed a sigh of relief. The predicament he had just been in had left him completely at a loss for what to do.
"Hurry up and thank Brother Liu, hurry up!" Tang Zhongxin said to Zhao Lanxiang.
"Mom, please speak up, Mom, I'm begging you," Tang Feilong pleaded, afraid that his mother would be beaten again if she didn't speak up.
Tang Yiting also spoke up to persuade her, saying that the reason Zhao Lanxiang was so tough just now was because Tang Zhongxin said he would beat her to death. Now that there was a glimmer of hope, Zhao Lanxiang's cowardly nature had resurfaced.
"Hurry up and thank Brother Liu! Hurry up!" Tang Zhongxin shouted angrily again when his wife still didn't say anything.
Zhao Lanxiang glanced at her husband and children, and finally fixed her gaze on Liu Xiaoyuan. Although her eyes were filled with a thousand and one unwillingnesses, she still obediently spoke up in the end.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu!"
