Chapter 827: Chapter 826: Life in Danger Chapter 827: Chapter 826: Life in Danger “Zuo Xinyao, let go of Wei An, do you hear me?” Tang Qian screamed hysterically, “I told you to let go.”
Zuo Xinyao provocatively stared at Tang Qian, using even more force on his grip as her voice grew louder. Wei An, held high by him, had already begun to roll his eyes, unable to utter a word.
Tang Qian was genuinely scared; she vaguely knew how sinister Zuo Xinyao could be and feared he might lose control and strangle Wei An to death. No longer daring to shout, she could only soften her voice and plead earnestly, “Wei An is still a child; if you have any issues, take them out on me.”
“Hmph!” Zuo Xinyao scoffed disdainfully, his eyes and eyebrows carrying a trace of carelessness, too lazy even to glance at Tang Qian.
He wasn’t fond of talking, but Huo Kewei loved to speak!
“Aunt Tang, your Wei An is not that young anymore. What kid goes around calling people bastards and sluts?” After he finished, he tsk-tsked and added, “The education in your Wei Family is really trash. You have the nerve to lecture other people’s children?”
“That’s really funny.”
“Huo Kewei, what did you say? Have the guts to say it again?” Tang Qian glared at him in fury.
Others might fear her, but Huo Kewei had never been afraid. He used to respect her as an elder and gave her some face. But now that he saw her bullying his uncle’s brother-in-law, Huo Kewei felt he must stand up for his uncle.
Otherwise, when his uncle returned, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself.
“Sure! I’ll say it as many times as you want. Since I’m someone with good manners, I wouldn’t even mind saying it until your son’s body cools down.” The murderous intent in Huo Kewei’s voice was completely unmasked at that moment.
Tang Qian was startled, as if she had been slapped harshly on the face, left and right at that. By now, a crowd had gathered in the small square, with all the members of the Dai Family present, each of them watching her with cold, mocking eyes.
They felt particularly satisfied.
Dai Yifan stood in such a way as to subtly block Tang Qian, making it impossible for her to reach Wei An unless Huo Kewei moved aside.
Tang Qian was horrified to discover that not a single person was willing to help her; it felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over her head, chilling her to the core. She had a high status, and her husband was a minister; half the people in the courtyard had served under Wei Fangyi.
Everyone she met was ordinarily polite to her, and she had never been in such a plight; she was so stunned that she couldn’t react, wondering how everything could have turned out this way.
How could so many people be against her?
But her concern for her son overrode everything else. Seeing that she couldn’t get to Wei An, she finally remembered her eldest son was still sitting nearby. She turned around to seek Wei Qin’s help.
“Wei Qin, what are you doing?” she scolded, “Your brother is almost being strangled to death, and you’re still watching the show!”
Wei Qin’s indifference made her heart ache; that was his own brother! How could he be so heartless and utterly indifferent!
“Haha…” Wei Qin pursed his pale, thin lips and forced a cold laugh, his fingers resting on his knees barely strong enough to move, just tremulously shaking.
Jiang Yang, sensitive to the situation despite his own pain, quickly grasped Wei Qin’s hand, tears welling up as he looked at him.
“Brother Wei Qin.” After calling him, he turned to Little Wang, “Get a doctor.”
Little Wang had been trembling with fright from the start, hesitant to leave fearing something might happen to Wei Qin. Now suddenly awakened, he bolted to run.
