Chapter 8
Bai Mu had a sad face and hurried forward to say, "Miss Fengli, Miss Four, this was an unintentional mistake on my part. I hope you two can be magnanimous and forgive me. This has nothing to do with Master Rui."
Luo Chaoyan didn't believe that this boy had the guts to plot against her. She stared at Huo Rui with disdain: "Huo Rui, a real man should take responsibility for his actions. It's nothing to let others take the blame for what you did."
Huo Rui stepped forward and pushed away Bai Mu who was still trying to explain, with a look of "what can you do to me" on his face: "So what if I kicked you?"
Seeing that he admitted it, Luo Chaoyan nodded with a smile: "Very good!"
This was exactly what she wanted. She was worried that he would be a scoundrel and deny it. She picked up the pine nuts on the ground and gave Pineapple a wink.
Pineapple understood and took the pine nuts.
When Bai Mu saw her move, he was startled. These two ancestors had been at odds with each other since they met. Was she trying to retaliate? He stopped Huo Rui and said, "Fourth Miss, the young master didn't mean it. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with him."
"What if I insist on making a fuss about it?" Luo Chaoyan said.
Huo Rui snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Bai Mu, get out of the way. I don't believe she dares to... "What?
Before he could finish his words, a pine nut hit his calf.
“Ouch!”
He rubbed the place where he was hit, grimacing in pain, and stared at Luo Chaoyan in disbelief: "You stinky woman, you actually plotted against me."
"Wrong!" Luo Chaoyan said seriously, "I am hitting you openly."
"You..." Huo Rui gasped angrily.
Bai Mu supported him with a worried look on his face, "Young Master, are you okay?"
"Fourth Miss, how could you hurt my young master?"
Luo Chaoyan blinked her eyes and said innocently: "I am teaching him how to behave. After all, I am his future mother. Since he has admitted that he made a mistake, he should be punished, right?" What's more, she obviously asked Fengli to hold back, otherwise, with his small arms and legs, Fengli would have crippled them.
"You bitch, didn't you disdain being my stepmother? Why are you suddenly accepting your fate?"
"Yes, there is a sinister and shameless bastard who doesn't keep his word and shamelessly comes to me to ask for my stepson. What can I do? I can only fulfill his wish! There is no other way. I am just a kind-hearted person." Luo Chaoyan looked helpless.
"If you dare to scold me, I will fight you..."
Regardless of the pain in his calf, Huo Rui raised his fist and was about to hit Luo Chaoyan.
Fengli quickly stood in front of her and was about to pick up Huo Rui who was rushing towards her, but she saw him nimbly dodge, go around the side, grab the skewers on the charcoal stove, and then wolf down the food under everyone's dull gaze.
"This..." Yun Mo had been guarding the charcoal stove and saw him standing there in a daze.
After Huo Rui finished the last string of grilled mushrooms, he clapped his hands with a hint of satisfaction, ignoring the angry looks from Luo Chaoyan and the others, and smiled smugly, "You bitch, you grilled this vegetable dish very well. I like it very much. I suggest you make more next time."
next time? Go eat shit!
"A young master who is pampered by everyone in the Huo family is actually snatching food like a shameless beggar. He is not afraid of bringing disgrace to the family." Luo Chaoyan mocked.
Huo Rui scratched his ears and said shamelessly: "I didn't pick up other people's food to eat. I ate the skewers made by my future stepmother."
"Also, woman, please don't wrongly accuse me. When I made the bet with you, I promised you to let you go, but I didn't say I would help you stop your father from marrying you."
Seeing him shaking his head and gloating, Luo Chaoyan felt a headache. She took a deep breath and decided not to get angry. It was not worth it to get sick from anger.
She said to Fengli and Yunmo, "Let's go." She had lost all interest in the picnic, and if she stayed any longer, she would not be able to resist beating him up herself.
Pineapple and the other person nodded, packed up, and followed.
Huo Rui rarely smiled and said to Bai Mu, "Let's go back too." After the stinky woman left, he felt that there was no point in going back.
The two of them followed Luo Chaoyan and the others not too far away.
When they were almost halfway up the mountain, five burly masked men blocked their way.
Fengli cautiously asked Luo Chaoyan and Yun Mo to stand behind her, and Bai Mu also fearfully protected Huo Rui.
The masked leader pointed at Huo Rui and shouted, "I only want that brat. If you don't want to suffer, you'd better leave."
Luo Chaoyan and the other two looked at each other, and the master and servants all moved aside in unison, acting as if they were unfamiliar with Huo Rui and the others.
"Who are you? What do you want to do by arresting my young master?" Bai Mu puffed out his chest, not wanting to show his weakness in front of them.
"It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is that he provoked the wrong person," the man said.
Huo Rui didn't seem to be afraid at all, and said, "Let me guess which family sent you! Is it the Li family that I bullied before? Or the Ye family..."
Listening to him slowly counting the people he had offended in the past, the people present couldn't help but smack their lips in amazement, thinking how tiring it was.
Luo Chaoyan guessed his intention was to delay time, so she whispered to Fengli, "Fengli, can you handle them?"
Fengli's lips twitched, and she broke her fantasy truthfully: "Girl, it's no problem to kill a few of them with thin arms and legs. These guys are muscular and you can tell at a glance that they are from the martial arts world. I'm afraid I can only handle two of them."
Luo Chaoyan nodded. Fengli was naturally strong, but she had only learned some basic martial arts, so she had little chance of winning against a real martial artist. She pondered for a while, then smiled and said to the five men, "My dear brothers, we are just passing by. Hehe... let's go now, let's go now."
After saying that, he took the timid Yunmo and walked away, letting Fengli follow behind.
But just as they took a few steps, the little devil came from behind like a scoundrel, rushed up to her, hugged her thighs, and looked heartbroken: "Mother! Are you going to cruelly abandon your son and let him face the villains alone? Wuwu... Mother, my son will be obedient in the future, please don't abandon him."
Luo Chaoyan staggered and almost vomited blood. This little devil was really inhumane. He wanted to drag her into the water. They kept talking about "mother", and people who didn't know them would think they were biological mother and son. She was so angry that she was thinking about running down the mountain quickly and asking the Huo family to rescue him. Sure enough, she shouldn't have any good thoughts about him.
When the criminals heard what Huo Rui said, they hesitated whether to take the "mother" he mentioned away.
The leader of the gang looked her up and down, and asked his accomplice next to him in confusion, "Is this the girl from the Luo family who is rumored to be marrying into the Huo Mansion?"
One of the criminals hesitated and said, "Rumor has it that the daughter of the Luo family is as beautiful as a fairy. But she looks pretty at best, so it's probably not the case."
"No, maybe the rumors are exaggerated." Another gangster said, "Brother, this brat made the girl miss the chance to marry into the Huo family. I want to teach him a lesson. Now he must be angry about the girl marrying into the Huo family. Should we take her away as well?"
The leader of the gang thought about it and thought it was feasible, so he nodded and said, "Then take them all back."
As they spoke, several people approached their prey and surrounded it in a circle.
Bai Mu protected Huo Rui and stayed close to Luo Chaoyan and others.
Was she shot while lying down? Luo Chaoyan felt that it was a disaster that she had never expected. She glared at the culprit fiercely. She and he really had a bad horoscope.
"Let me go!"
She pulled the plaster on her leg while struggling to death and said to the gangsters, "Brothers, don't believe what this little devil said. I'm not a girl from the Luo family. He's not only small, but also petty. I just offended him. Now he wants to trick me."
Seeing that they were half-believing and half-doubting, she continued, "Look, I'm dressed so poorly, and my ordinary appearance doesn't look like the beautiful Miss Luo in the rumors."
"Mother, wuwu... It's obviously you who are lazy and don't like to dress up on weekdays, and you wear whatever clothes are comfortable. Now you think they are shabby?" Seeing that she lied so easily, Huo Rui exposed her lies directly. Humph, since he is not having a good time anyway, she can forget about it.
Luo Chaoyan felt her chest suffocate and her anger was rising. She grabbed his ears and whispered, "You just can't stand seeing me doing well, right?"
"Who told you, a woman, to have no sense of brotherhood and just want to run away?" Huo Rui said righteously.
What's the point of talking about brotherhood? Not adding insult to injury makes her seem merciful! Luo Chaoyan took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. At this point, she took a gamble and said, "If you don't believe you will be caught, then cooperate with me later."
Huo Rui looked at her with hesitation, as if considering her credibility: "You won't cheat me?"
"No!" I will just hit you. Luo Chaoyan added in her heart.
"good!"
Luo Chaoyan whispered to Fengli and the others, "When I tell you to close your eyes, you should close your eyes. When I tell you to run, you should run in different directions. If you can run away, go back to the temple to get help."
Several people nodded gently.
At this time, several gangsters began to get restless and were about to surround them again.
Luo Chaoyan looked at them flatteringly and said, "Brothers, please don't listen to this evildoer. If you don't believe me, I can prove it to you."
As she said that, she raised her hand and slapped Huo Rui on the butt.
“Pah, pah, pah!”
“Ouch!”
Huo Rui was angry and felt ashamed. No one had ever spanked him in his life, and this woman was obviously taking the opportunity to take revenge on him.
He wanted to resist, but then he heard her say, "Brothers, if I were really Miss Luo, how could I dare to hit him like this? He is the precious grandson of the Huo family. This evildoer is very stingy. If I really married into the Huo family, I don't know how he would retaliate against me in the future."
As if to prove what she said, she hit him a few more times.
Several gangsters looked at Huo Rui, and seeing that his face seemed to be red only because of pain, and he didn't say anything, they hesitated again.
Seeing this, Luo Chaoyan knew that her chance had come, so she took out the can of pepper from her sleeve, poured it into her hand, and shouted, "Close your eyes!"
After shouting, she sprinkled the pepper in her hand at several gangsters.
"Ouch, my eyes!"
The criminals didn't expect her to attack them secretly. Before they could react, two of them were hit and started wailing instantly.
If not now, when? "Run!"
Luo Chaoyan and her companions scattered and ran away.
Seeing this, the leading criminal gritted his teeth and said in hatred: "Chase him!"
