Chapter Seventeen: If they disobey, they'll listen after being beaten until it hurts.

Chapter Seventeen: If they disobey, they'll listen after being beaten until it hurts.
Xia Chengjie gasped for breath, feeling a sense of relief at surviving a disaster.
His vision was blurry, but Zhou Ran's figure was exceptionally clear.
The image is imprinted in my mind, not in my eyes, which is why it is so clear.
He tried to curl himself up to lessen the pain in his abdomen.
The trembling body revealed the fear in the heart.
"If you had been this obedient and not so difficult from the beginning, you wouldn't have cried so much. Some people are just asking for a beating, and their values are just asking for a beating."
"It lets you experience the traditional educational methods of our ancestors: 'Spare the rod and spoil the child.'"
"If a child is being naughty and disobedient, just give them a good beating."
Zhou Ran explained while pressing the medical disinfectant next to the bed.
I carefully applied the ointment to my hands before sitting back down on the sofa.
Xia Chenggan called for doctors and nurses to examine Xia Chengjie, worried that something might be wrong with his health.
Zhou Ran watched silently, not wanting to provoke any trouble.
Knowing that Xia Chenggan was unhappy, they were just there to vent their anger.
No matter how many reasons there are, in Xia Chenggan's mind, Zhou Ran is just an ant who has overstepped his bounds.
His target was his own beloved younger brother.
Everyone is prone to bias towards their own family members.
The fact that she didn't rush up to interrupt him and didn't physically assault him afterwards shows that she's a very rational person.
Zhou Ran didn't want to use such an extreme method.
However, to treat this stubborn ailment, only strong medicine can cure it effectively.
He really put his heart and soul into it. This wretched place is so crazy; you can't survive without going a little insane.
Once he was sure Xia Chengjie was alright, just a little exhausted and his wounds hadn't reopened, Xia Chenggan's tight lips relaxed.
He sat down next to Zhou Ran, turning his head as if to say something.
Seeing Zhou Ran casually playing with her fingers, seemingly indifferent and unconcerned.
Long, slender fingers with indistinct knuckles and delicate, fair skin.
Who would have thought those hands could be so ruthless?
He admitted that he had misjudged the situation; he shouldn't have let Zhou Ran make the move.
He should have known this from the message he received from his subordinates while he was in the car.
They found the villa, located their accomplice Hou San, who was dead. The person who did the killing was the man in front of them.
They found Hou San's cell phone, which he had left on the grass.
They even obtained the villa's surveillance footage.
The surveillance footage showed Zhou Ran, looking disheveled, after killing someone.
I felt no discomfort whatsoever, used my phone methodically, and ate, showered, and looked for things with ease.
His madness wasn't superficial; it was ingrained in his very being.
This Zhou Ran is dangerous, calm, has a powerful core, and his purpose is unclear.
There are only two choices when dealing with such a dangerous person: use them for my own purposes, or eliminate them.
He hesitated for a moment and then chose the former.
Based on their brief contact, it was advantageous for him to have Zhou Ran alive.
But he really had no experience in making friends with someone.
Especially someone like Zhou Ran, who is obviously guarded and not easy to please.
His position meant that others would always try to please him, and he would never have the chance to please others.
So he called his most popular second brother and asked him how to please someone and make him one of his own.
The second brother promptly sent him a document.
The first point is to bring the two people closer, both physically and psychologically.
The second point is to do more things together to strengthen the bond between the two people.
...
It contains many useful methods.
Xia Chenggan was a pragmatist, and he honestly began his experiments.
That explains his sudden approach and his sudden gentle attitude.
It has had an effect; the relationship seems to have gotten a little closer.
But something felt off; the results weren't what I expected.
Is it really that difficult to win over a subordinate?
He had no idea that his second brother, Xia Chengjun, had hung up on him.
I selected the most essential parts from my collection of dating tips and sent them to my older brother.
He even remarked on his lover's feelings.
"My iron tree brother has also reached the time to bloom."
I had no idea I was talking at cross purposes and ended up with a bunch of guides and information that didn't match the description.
Xia Chenggan was still reflecting on whether there were problems with his execution.
Seeing Xia Chenggan in a daze, Zhou Ran scratched his head.
Was it because his persuasion was inadequate that this person became unhappy?
Zhou Ran stood up and walked to the bedside.
Looking at Xia Chengjie, before he could even speak, Xia Chengjie hurriedly said.
"I don't like Gu Tingxiao anymore, I don't like him anymore. I'm fine, I'm going to focus on getting better! I was wrong!! I'm sorry!"
Zhou Ran shrugged. Wasn't the effect quite good?
See how effective this trick is against stubborn, love-struck people?
"Alright, Xiao Jie, you get some rest. The caregiver will take care of you. Call me if you need anything. We're leaving now."
"Understood, brother!"
Xiao Jie answered obediently, without a trace of his previous hypocrisy.
Xia Chenggan beckoned with his finger, signaling Zhou Ran to follow.
Seeing that she could walk, Zhou Ran happily followed, not forgetting to wave goodbye to Xia Chengjie.
Xia Chengjie closed his eyes in fright; this person's face had been his recurring nightmare lately.
"Where are we going? Are you hungry? Let's eat first."
After all that commotion, it was past noon, and Zhou Ran was starving.
Xia Chenggan: "What would you like to eat?"
"casual."
Are there any dietary restrictions?
Xia Chenggan quickly selected a place to eat.
"I don't eat undercooked food, but everything else is fine. There are no dietary restrictions."
Zhou Ran gave a natural answer.
He is easy to feed; as long as there is food, he can fill his stomach.
Thinking of Xia Chenggan, who was still sizing him up, he must be a very picky person.
Young masters born with a silver spoon in their mouths always have all sorts of problems.
For example, the people he had met before.
It's not that I specifically avoid a certain type of food, but rather that I avoid it if it's prepared in a different way.
To put it simply, I eat boiled corn, but I don't eat other corn-processed products.
Onions and ginger can be eaten raw, but if there are cooked ingredients in stir-fries, you shouldn't touch them.
In short, his fussiness makes you want to take him out, starve him for three days, and correct his bad habits.
"There's a really good restaurant nearby, so I asked someone to make a reservation."
"Um"
Zhou Ran nodded, since it wasn't his money, so it didn't matter.
They got in the car and remained silent the entire way.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the manager was already waiting for them at the entrance.
Zhou Ran was already used to this kind of pomp and circumstance, so she followed them in without looking at them.
He finally understood: as long as he traveled with this young master, he could forget about keeping a low profile.
They respectfully led us to a private room, served the food directly, and then quietly withdrew.
"Try this dish, it's their signature dish, Wensi Tofu."
Zhou Ran looked at the dish Xia Chenggan recommended: tofu!
Zhou Ran placed her chopsticks on the plate of sweet and sour pork ribs.
If there's meat to eat, why eat vegetables?
Xia Chenggan was slightly displeased when he saw that Xia Chenggan ignored him and ate by himself.
This person is prone to doing unexpected things.
I thought of a line from that document: everyone has different habits and temperaments, and we should learn to be tolerant and respectful of the differences between ourselves and others.
Xia Chenggan felt that he should be more magnanimous and not be so petty.
Nobody likes a boss who's so petty about food.
Zhou Ran saw Xia Chenggan's expression clearly.
It's strange that her expression changed while she was eating, but she didn't get angry. Is she holding back something big?
Never mind all that, let's eat first.
Two people sharing a meal, two different feelings.
After finishing their meal, the two got into the car again without saying a word.
Zhou Ran didn't bother asking where they were going. This guy wasn't going to make things easy for him today, so he'd just have to see what he was up to.
Their car quickly stopped in front of a small detached house.
"Get off the bus!"
Zhou Ran yawned and followed, eager to go back to sleep.
Follow Xia Chenggan inside, and the door opens quickly.
The person who opened the door was Shen Shuyun, who had a pale face. When she saw them, her expression turned even worse.
Xia Chenggan walked straight in, as if the person didn't exist.
Ignoring someone is the greatest mockery. Xia Chenggan expressed his dislike and disregard for Shen Shuyun through his attitude at every meeting.
In Xia Chenggan's eyes, Shen Shuyun wasn't even an ant.
Xia Chenggan sat down on the sofa and gestured for Zhou Ran to sit next to him.
Zhou Ran obediently sat down, cursing Xia Chenggan in her heart.
The way he treats his pet always infuriates me.
Xia Chenggan saw through Zhou Ran's feigned obedience and ignored it nonchalantly.
How could a wild fox suddenly become a domesticated sweetheart?
He has plenty of time and means.
Of course, there are ways to deal with disobedient pets.
"Big brother!"
Gu Tingxiao stood in front of Xia Chenggan with his messy hair.
His face showed helplessness and dejection.
Xia Chenggan glanced at him and put on a professional fake smile.
"This villa should have been transferred to someone else's name by you. The Gu family will take it back within three days. You'll have to find a place to live yourselves."
"Brother, is it really necessary to go this far?"
Gu Tingxiao shouted irritably, "Is this leaving me no way out?"
Xia Chenggan was still just as infuriating, yet he was completely powerless to suppress him.
When he got home, he was thrown a suitcase containing only a few sets of clothes he usually wore, and then kicked out of the house without any explanation.
He went to the company, but didn't even go through the main gate; his secretary came out and told him.
His position was suspended, and his father took over completely, informing him that all the cards he held had been deactivated.
All of your property, including real estate, vehicles, stocks, etc., is prohibited from use.
He called his friends and was told that they were all forbidden from funding him or giving him any help.
In other words, he was kicked out of the house with nothing, and all support was cut off.
This series of orders was clearly not issued in a single day; it was premeditated.
His parents and grandmother loved him so much, yet as their only son, they just abandoned him like that.
Gu Tingxiao was so angry that he threw a tantrum. Without a doubt, the only person who could do something like that was Xia Chenggan.
He knew that this person was the most terrifying; he either wouldn't do it at all, or he would leave no way out.
Thanks to Shen Shuyun, the property that was previously transferred to her name can still be used.
He refused to believe that he, a grown man with all his skills, could starve to death.
He was busy moving here and hadn't even finished settling in when Xia Chenggan came and tried to kick him out.
"This place has nothing to do with the Gu family, so what right do you have to take it back?"
"Oh, what do you think?"
Xia Chenggan was too lazy to explain. Even if the Gu family handled all the paperwork here, or even if there were no paperwork at all, he had plenty of ways to get rid of the two of them.
