Chapter 138, Part 2
138:
Yang Yu was stunned, incredulous.
He looked at Mu Shaoting in astonishment, only to see that Mu Shaoting's eyes were full of anger.
Before he could react, Mu Shaoting raised his hand and slapped him again.
"Slap!" "Slap!" "Slap!" Mu Shaoting seemed oblivious to the pain in his hands, relentlessly slapping the person in front of him.
People in the restaurant looked over when they heard the noise.
Yang Yu snapped out of his initial shock, feeling an overwhelming sense of shame and humiliation wash over him.
He had never suffered such humiliation in his life. He instantly stopped pretending and grabbed Mu Shaoting's hand that was about to slap him. "Are you fucking done yet?!"
Mu Shaoting slapped him again with his other hand.
Yang Yu was filled with rage and evil thoughts, and raised his hand to slap her.
Without thinking, Ye Qingxi raised her foot and stomped hard on his foot.
Caught off guard, Yang Yu cried out.
He instantly withdrew his hand from Mu Shaoting and instead reached for Ye Qingxi, but Mu Shaoting blocked him with his long arm, protecting her behind him, and then slapped her again.
Yang Yu was truly furious.
He raised his hand, intending to slap her.
Ye Qingxi wanted to help her but was blocked behind her, which made her extremely anxious.
Just as he was about to see Yang Yu's hand land on Mu Shaoting's face, suddenly, a hand appeared out of nowhere and stopped in front of Mu Shaoting, grabbing Yang Yu's hand before it was about to fall.
The man turned to look at Mu Shaoting, his tone casual and nonchalant, "Miss, can't you consider your own safety before you hit someone?"
Ye Qingxi looked up.
He was a young man about the same age as Mu Shaoting, very fair-skinned, with long bangs that lazily draped over his eyelids, making his narrow, almond-shaped eyes look full of helplessness.
Who is this?
Ye Qingxi was puzzled. Did he know his aunt?
Yang Yu was even more puzzled than him.
He glared at the man who was half a head taller than him and snapped, "Let go of me! What business is it of yours if my girlfriend and I are arguing?!"
The words had barely left his mouth when there was a "smack".
Mu Shaoting slapped him again.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Then came another round of slaps.
Looking at her aunt's reddened hand, Ye Qingxi felt sorry for her. Her hand was red and must be in a lot of pain. She thought, "Maybe I should just stop hitting her." On the other hand, she felt that Yang Yu was indeed a despicable scumbag. In the original book, he caused her aunt to die young. Now he wanted to deceive her again. He deserved to be beaten to death.
Yang Yu felt both hatred and humiliation from her slaps. He tried to break free, but he couldn't escape the man in front of him.
"What does this have to do with me?" The man holding Yang Yu yawned. "I'm just letting your girlfriend have a good time."
"Who the hell is his girlfriend!" Mu Shaoting finally finished slapping his hand and withdrew it.
After she vented her anger, she realized that her hands had already changed color and were now throbbing slightly.
Sure enough, slapping someone is hard work.
Mu Shaoting rubbed her hands, and Ye Qingxi, seeing this, quickly raised her hand and rubbed them for her.
Looking at him, Mu Shaoting felt a pang of heartache and wished she could slap Yang Yu again.
"Are you alright, baby?" she asked again with concern.
Ye Qingxi shook her head; of course he was fine.
Yang Yu didn't use much force; she simply pushed him away, trying to stop him from getting so close. He wasn't stupid; how could he knowingly bully her aunt's nephew? Did he even want to be a live-in son-in-law anymore?
It was all an act on his own. He deliberately exploited the unsafe distance between people that they weren't used to, provoked him into making a pushing motion, and then deliberately staggered, deliberately fell, and deliberately had tears welling up in his eyes.
The purpose was to let Mu Shaoting see it.
From what happened with Qiu Lu last time, Ye Qingxi had clearly realized that the Mu family truly cared about him and were truly protective of him.
If he suffers any harm from the other party, even in the slightest way, the Mu family will automatically sever ties with them and help him seek justice tenfold or a hundredfold.
Even if he himself doesn't mind.
Therefore, to deal with Yang Yu, he didn't need to do anything elaborate; he only needed to let Mu Shaoting see Yang Yu hurt him.
As expected, everything went exactly as he predicted.
He just didn't expect Mu Shaoting to be so explosive!
He thought Mu Shaoting would only slap Yang Yu twice at most, but he slapped him so hard that his own hand turned red.
At this moment, she seemed more like the eldest daughter of the Mu family than his aunt.
Mu Shaoting slapped Yang Yu until his face was swollen. After venting his anger, he ignored him and took Ye Qingxi's coat and scarf, helped him put them on and wrapped them around his neck. Then he picked up his own coat, turned around and pulled Ye Qingxi out.
Yang Yu tried to give chase, but his hands were grabbed and he was unable to move.
He could only glare fiercely at the person in front of him.
After Mu Shaoting had walked a distance, the man finally let go.
As soon as he let go, Yang Yu threw a punch.
Before the punch could even land, he was kicked away by the other party.
With a loud thud, Yang Yu crashed heavily into the sofa he had just been sitting on.
The other party sneered, "Overestimating yourself."
After saying that, he turned and walked outside.
Yang Yu stood up and wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by the waiter.
"Sir, you haven't paid your bill yet," the waiter said anxiously.
Yang Yu: ? ? ?
Yang Yu looked at the waiter in front of him, furious.
The manager, who had been drawn by the commotion from nearby, immediately led his men to the waiter's side. "What's wrong?"
"This gentleman has spent four thousand nine hundred and hasn't paid the bill yet," the waiter said in a low voice.
Yang Yu: !!!
"I didn't eat any!"
It was all eaten by the kid that Mu Shaoting brought!
The manager smiled and said, "You've had your meal served, so please settle the bill."
Yang Yu: ...
Yang Yu almost vomited blood from feeling so frustrated.
Mu Shaoting pulled Ye Qingxi out of the restaurant, pressed the elevator button, and checked with him again, "Is there any pain anywhere? Is there any bleeding or scrape?"
Ye Qingxi shook her head, showing him her fair and tender little hands, "They're all fine. They don't hurt at all."
After he finished speaking, he reached out and took Mu Shaoting's hand, "Auntie, does your hand still hurt?"
Of course it hurt. Force is reciprocal. She used 120% of her strength to hit Yang Yu. Otherwise, how could she have whipped him like that?
Conversely, she herself was also in pain, especially since she was usually so delicate that she never even mentioned anything important.
However, Mu Shaoting did not regret it.
When you're going to hit someone, you should hit them hard, of course.
Of course, you have to slap it yourself to feel better.
Whenever Mu Shaoting thought of the scene she had just witnessed Ye Qingxi being pushed down, she wished she could go back and slap Yang Yu again.
"I knew I shouldn't have brought you out today," she said regretfully.
Ye Qingxi shook her head: "It was my aunt who asked you to bring me out~ And I ate some delicious food today, I'm so happy~"
As he spoke, he pulled Mu Shaoting's hand over and began to massage it for her.
Hearing him say that, Mu Shaoting felt less guilty.
She felt Ye Qingxi's thoughtful little gesture and was about to ask him why he suddenly left his seat and walked to Yang Yu when she saw someone walk up to Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi naturally sensed it as well.
He looked up and saw the people who had just helped them.
Ye Qingxi immediately thanked him: "Brother, thank you so much. Thanks to you, otherwise he would have bullied my aunt."
"You're welcome." The man lowered his head and smiled at Ye Qingxi.
Mu Shaoting then realized that he hadn't thanked him yet.
"Thank you," she said.
Upon hearing this, the man looked shocked. "Oh, Miss, you can see me? I thought I was invisible. You hit someone and just turned around and left, so nonchalantly, as if I didn't exist!"
Mu Shaoting: ...
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ? This tone, do you really know her?
"Li Jing, you're asking for a beating, aren't you?!" Mu Shaoting was speechless.
Li Jing shook his head, "I wouldn't dare. You're so amazing! When you fight, you're completely fearless and don't care about your own safety or life. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were a Sanda champion, and I was just waiting for you to beat him up. How could I dare?"
Enraged by his tone, Mu Shaoting raised her foot and kicked him!
Li Jing quickly dodged, "Why are you getting handsy?"
Mu Shaoting: ? ? ?
Who laid a hand on me?
Enraged, Mu Shaoting grabbed her bag and slammed it at Li Jing.
"Be gentle, be gentle!" Li Jing called out as he dodged, "The child is here, mind your image!"
Mu Shaoting: !!!
Mu Shaoting then put her bag away and glared at him.
She stood next to Ye Qingxi again and took his hand.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Ye Qingxi asked gossipily, "Auntie, do you know this brother?"
"My elementary school classmate."
"My kindergarten classmate."
The two spoke in unison.
Mu Shaoting: "...I was your classmate for half a year in kindergarten."
"But you called me 'husband' in kindergarten~"
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ? !!!
Mu Shaoting: !!!
Mu Shaoting instantly lost his temper, picked up his bag, and started hitting the person next to him again.
"That was playing house! Do you even understand what playing house is?! Who didn't play house when they were little! Besides, I only played it for that one year, and then I stopped!"
Mu Shaoting was so angry that his face turned red.
Li Jing looked at her and said, "I was just talking about playing house. What else could it be?"
Mu Shaoting: ...
Mu Shaoting kicked him in the leg.
Li Jing: ...
Li Jing could only silently rub his legs.
With a "ding," the elevator arrived, and the elevator doors opened automatically.
Mu Shaoting pulled Ye Qingxi inside.
Li Jing followed him inside.
Mu Shaoting pressed the button for the first floor and closed the elevator door.
Li Jing pressed -2. "Where are you going next? Home?"
"It's none of your business," Mu Shaoting said indifferently.
Li Jing nodded: That's right.
"But Mu Shaoting, I'm serious. Be careful next time you hit someone. Don't be so impulsive. At the very least, call security. Otherwise, you're so ruthless and disrespectful. If you provoke someone, you'll be the one who suffers in the end."
Mu Shaoting snorted, "He wouldn't dare!"
“If he dares to touch me today, my dad can have his legs broken and thrown in front of me tomorrow.”
"That's true, but weren't you injured back then too? Take just now, for example. If I hadn't been there, you would have been beaten up."
Ye Qingxi nodded, "What this brother said is right."
He still feels lingering fear when he thinks about what just happened.
He wanted his aunt to hate Yang Yu and never talk to him again, not to be beaten or injured by Yang Yu.
“Look, even your little nephew says I’m right.” Li Jing looked at her.
Mu Shaoting: ...
After all, they had been classmates from kindergarten to elementary school, and Li Jing knew the temperament of the young lady beside him, so he didn't say anything more, but instead looked down at the child standing between him and Mu Shaoting.
"Hello, my name is Li Jing, Li as in severe, and Jing as in scenery. You can call me Uncle Li," he introduced himself.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ? There are actually people so young who don't want to be called "brother" but "uncle"?
That makes sense, since he and his aunt were classmates, so according to seniority, it would indeed be more appropriate for him to call her "uncle".
Most people just like to address younger people, so Ye Qingxi usually calls men "brother" and women "sister," each according to their own way, without following seniority.
“My name is Ye Qingxi, Ye as in tree leaf, Qing as in early morning, and Xi as in dawn,” he said.
“I know,” Li Jing said.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
"How did you know?" Mu Shaoting asked on his behalf.
Li Jing put his hands in his pockets and said, "Who doesn't know about your older brother's outburst for his nephew? My brother said that your older brother isn't the kind of person who acts so ruthlessly. His style is more like your father's. So everyone knows now that Grandpa Mu has two grandsons, one is his biological grandson, and the other is his precious grandson."
In short, nothing can be touched.
Ye Qingxi: ...Well, he hasn't even attended a single high society gathering yet, but his reputation has already spread.
