Chapter 2 Slapping Hard
Song Hechao was stunned by the blow and it took him a long time to come to his senses. He gritted his teeth and said, "You hit me? How dare you hit me?"
Xia Fanxing rubbed her wrist, which hadn't been used in a long time, and scoffed at the words, "Why are you so surprised? It's not like it's the first time I've hit you."
Xia Fanxing has been interested in martial arts since she was a child. She learns quickly and well and is the little tyrant among a group of children.
No matter who does something wrong, she will punish them severely. Xiao Song Hechao, who was spoiled at home, has been beaten by her countless times before he didn't go astray.
Once she was in the throes of first love, Xia Fanxing was too shy to even look at Song Hechao, so how could she bear to hit him again?
Looking back, Xia Fanxing cursed herself for being blind. How could she have insisted on marrying such a scumbag?
Song Hechao was both ashamed and furious. Pointing at Xia Fanxing, he said, "You shrew! You think you can marry into my Song family? Never! And the child in your belly... we, the Song family, will never acknowledge it!"
When the topic of children came up, Xia Fanxing's eyes turned cold.
She grabbed Song Hechao by the collar and slapped him twice, leaving clear handprints on both sides.
"Song Hechao, when I liked you, you were my whole world. Now that I don't like you anymore, who do you think you are? Get lost, or I'll beat you every time I see you."
Xia Fanxing let go, and Song Hechao staggered back several steps.
His eyes were blazing with anger, but he dared not utter another word.
He didn't know what Xia Fanxing was up to this time, but Xia Fanxing really knew how to take action!
Xia Fanxing rode her old bicycle all the way back to the Xia family's old house.
Before she even reached the door, she saw a girl in a dress learning to ride a bicycle, with a boy carefully protecting her from behind.
The cream-colored imported women's bicycle is small and exquisite, and looks better, is easier to ride, and is easier to get on and off than the old-fashioned bicycle.
This cream-colored bicycle used to belong to her, but because Xia Baijiao liked it, she sincerely gave it to Xia Baijiao.
But now she wants it back.
Xia Fanxing parked the car and walked straight over.
Xia Baijiao's kitten-like voice came: "Xiaoyu, I'm so scared, I can't hold onto the dragon head, are you still behind? You must protect me, my life is in your hands, waaaaah."
Xia Yu was bending over, his hands loosely protecting Xia Baijiao's body as he walked.
Hearing Xia Baijiao's soft, dependent voice, he smiled broadly and said, "Sister, I'm here. Don't worry, ride forward boldly. I won't let you—"
Before he could finish speaking, someone grabbed him by the collar and threw him aside.
He was bending over and lost his balance when he was suddenly thrown, causing him to fall flat on his face, his nose and mouth instantly turning red.
Hearing the noise, Xia Baijiao couldn't help but turn around and look. "Xiaoyu, what happened?... Ah!"
Xia Baijiao couldn't ride a bike to begin with, yet she dared to look back. This caused her to lose her balance and she was about to fall off the bike.
Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out.
Xia Baijiao thought she was saved and smiled as she prepared to fall into the broad, strong arms of a certain man.
But to her surprise, those hands brushed past her, supporting the car but not her!
Xia Fanxing gripped the handlebars, didn't even glance at the two of them, and pushed the bike toward the old house.
"Xia Fanxing, stop right there!" Xia Yu strode over aggressively.
Xia Baijiao sat on the ground, her knees scraped and bleeding slightly. She hugged her legs, tears welling in her eyes, and looked up at Xia Yu, looking extremely pitiful.
Seeing this, Xia Yu's anger burned even more fiercely.
He chased after Xia Fanxing, cursing her: "You bitch, you slut! I knew you were jealous of my sister's beauty and my good relationship with her. You finally couldn't resist resorting to underhanded tactics, couldn't you? I'll make you pay for my sister's injuries a thousandfold! I'll leave you with a hundred thousand bloody gashes!"
Xia Fanxing stopped, parked the car, and turned around.
She stood there with a cold expression, her eyes filled with sarcasm and mockery, seemingly revealing disdain. "Come here."
Provoked, Xia Yu cursed and threw a punch at her: "You bitch! What right do you have to laugh at me and look down on me? I'm not the little kid you used to beat up and make me cry anymore!"
In less than a minute, Xia Yu was knocked to the ground by Xia Fanxing, his face covered with red slap marks.
Xia Fanxing stepped on his face and said, "Don't worry, as long as you don't bother me, I won't hit you or care about you anymore. I used to be your older sister, so I had an obligation. Now that your older sister is back, I won't meddle in other people's business."
From childhood to adulthood, Xia Yu has always been kept under Xia Fanxing's tight control.
His studies, friendships, and even dining etiquette—if he showed even the slightest sign of going astray, he would be given a severe beating by Xia Fanxing.
Under such high pressure, Xia Yu successfully grew into a seemingly perfect good boy.
Why "appears to be"?
Xia Fanxing knew that Xia Yu was inherently unruly and would go astray if left unsupervised.
She thought of Xia Yu's words and expression on the ship in her previous life, and sneered inwardly.
Since she poured her heart out to him but he treated her like an enemy, she wanted to see what kind of monster he would become without her guidance!
"Sister Fanxing, please stop hitting him. Xiaoyu is still just a child."
Xia Baijiao limped over, pleading with red eyes.
"If you want to hit me, then hit me. I am Xiaoyu's older sister. If Xiaoyu does anything wrong, I am willing to be punished for him."
Xia Yu shouted, "Sister, run! Xia Fanxing has gone mad!"
Xia Baijiao said affectionately, "Xiaoyu, I can't abandon you. Sister Fanxing, if you want to hit someone, hit me, hit me!"
She stubbornly tilted her head back, tears streaming down her face in a poignant way, like a scene from a movie.
However--
"Slap! Slap!"
Two bright red handprints appeared on Xia Baijiao's face.
Xia Fanxing shrugged helplessly, "You're the one who made me do it. I've never heard of such an outrageous request in my life."
Xia Yu's eyes were bloodshot. "Xia Fanxing, you'd better die!"
But after Xia Fanxing kicked him a few times, he went limp and couldn't get up again.
Xia Baijiao caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye, bit her lip, and cried with tears streaming down her face.
"Sister Fanxing, I'm sorry. I know I must have upset you. I shouldn't have come back. I'm leaving now. I want to go back to my little village, and then everything will be alright..."
Xia Baijiao hurriedly got up, and with the movement, the black stone around her neck was revealed.
Xia Fanxing's eyes lit up, and she reached out and pulled off the black stone, stuffing it into her pocket.
Xia Baijiao was shocked, but she still pretended to be a weak and helpless innocent girl.
"Sister Fanxing, that's a keepsake left to me by my mother... my adoptive mother. Didn't you say I could keep it?"
She couldn't help but burst into tears, "I'll give you anything, but please, please give me back my adoptive mother's belongings, okay?"
She cried so hard she could barely breathe, and her legs gave way, causing her to faint to the side. She landed right in the arms of Song Hechao, who had just arrived.
Song Hechao angrily shouted, "Xia Fanxing, you know Jiaojiao is unwell, yet you still anger her. Give her back her things!"
Xia's parents rushed over and scolded, "Fanxing, we made you learn martial arts to protect our family, but look at what you're doing! Outsiders are indeed ruthless!"
“Outsiders… haha…” Xia Fanxing laughed until tears streamed down her face.
Even though she was reborn with hatred, she still couldn't help but feel heartbroken when she heard those two words.
Thinking of all the effort and dedication she had put into the Xia family over the years, her heart ached and her face grew colder.
She said to Xia's parents, "I was so busy slapping those three people that I forgot about you two. Which of you will come and taste my slap, the one from outside the family?"
