286: Chapter 286: Guarded in the Heart 286: Chapter 286: Guarded in the Heart “Could we please just talk this out?
There’s no need for violence!
Cousin, just make little Qing leave!” Aunt Qi urged.
Lv Zhaodi never liked Cai Xiaoqing and didn’t approve of him dating her daughter, but now she relied on him for support.
How could she afford to drive him away?
“Cousin, what are you saying?
Are you really going to let little Qing get beaten up for nothing?” Lv Zhaodi said indignantly.
While Liu Guang wanted to persuade his wife to drop the matter, he lost his resolve when he saw her fierce gaze, sighed, and fell silent.
Cai Xiaoqing and Liu Xiaoyan stood by the door, ready to run if necessary.
But upon hearing Lv Zhaodi refer to him as ‘our little Qing,’ his guard completely dropped.
Grabbing Liu Xiaoyan excitedly, he rushed to Lv Zhaodi and exclaimed, “Auntie, does this mean you approve of me dating little Yan?”
Lv Zhaodi glanced at him, picked up some food, and replied thoughtfully, “We’ll see about that!
Perform well, and maybe it’s possible!”
I promise I’ll treat little Yan well.
Trust me!” Cai Xiaoqing swore, gripping Liu Xiaoyan’s hand tightly.
Lv Zhaodi, still eating, was taken aback by his words and choked.
After coughing a few times, she harshly reminded him, “That’s not what I meant!”
Liu Xiaoyan tugged on Cai Xiaoqing’s sleeve, gesturing towards Wu Xiaoyu with a nod.
Cai Xiaoqing immediately understood, gathered his courage, and said to Wu Xiaoyu:
“Kid, before Brother Dao arrives, if you apologize to my mother-in-law, perhaps I might let you go!”
Zhou Dong disinterestedly picked at his food and said, “Did you hear that?
They want you to apologize.
Lv Zhaodi and Cai Xiaoqing initially felt a thrill of hope at Zhou Yong’s words.
But before they could fully enjoy it, Zhou Dong added, “Otherwise, when Brother Dao arrives, you’ll be calling out for your dad!”
His words only made Lv Zhaodi angrier.
These two truly had no idea the danger they were in; they were still mouthing off in the face of death!
After seeing their calm demeanor, Cai Xiaoqing thought they were just bluffing.
But upon hearing their blatant disrespect for Brother Dao, he began to worry.
Brother Dao was Wang Erma’s man, and Wang Erma was the top dog of Longhe Town.
How could Zhou Dong, who owned a restaurant in Longhe Town, not know of Wang Erma?
If they could so fearlessly slight Wang Erma’s lieutenant, did they have no regard for Wang Erma?
Who exactly were these guys?
do you know Brother Dao?” Cai Xiaoqing finally asked, unable to contain his fear.
Wu Xiaoyu placed his chopsticks on the plate before him, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said calmly:
“If the Brother Dao you mentioned is Wang Erma’s subordinate, then yes, I know him.”
Hearing this, Cai Xiaoqing’s legs felt weak.
he knew Wang Erma and knew Brother Dao was Wang Erma’s subordinate.
Then why was he so fearless?
Did he really mess with the wrong person this time?
Could it be that he and Wang Erma were somehow connected?
Wang Erma’s surname is Wang, and his surname is Zhang.
Was he Wang Erma’s relative?
Cai Xiaoqing nervously asked, “Who…
who are you exactly?”
“Why do people keep asking me that?
Does it matter who I am?
What matters is that soon you’ll be looking like a pig!” Wu Xiaoyu mocked.
Lv Zhaodi, still pretending to eat casually, couldn’t help but feel worried at his words.
Wasn’t Wu Xiaoyu just a farmer raising chickens?
How could he be so confident?
Despite being a minor troublemaker, how could little Qing not even intimidate him?
Seeing her boyfriend tremble, holding Cai Xiaoqing’s arm, Liu Xiaoyan grew anxious.
Could even Brother Dao not deal with Wu Xiaoyu?
“Maybe we should leave now,” Liu Xiaoyan tugged little Qing’s arm, suggesting.
Lv Zhaodi loathed her husband’s cowardice, and seeing her daughter’s boyfriend acting weak too, she was enraged and said, “No one leaves!
I want to see what he can do to us!”
“Who’s causing trouble here?” As soon as Lv Zhaodi said this, someone pushed the private room door open and yelled.
Everyone looked towards the sound.
Five or six strong men entered, led by none other than Brother Dao.
Seeing Brother Dao and his men, Cai Xiaoqing quickly released Liu Xiaoyan and ran over to him, saying ingratiatingly: “Brother Dao, it’s them…
Seeing Cai Xiaoqing’s called-in help arrive, Lv Zhaodi’s face turned smug once again, anticipating a good show.
Wang Aifeng and Aunt Qi, on the other hand, looked at Wu Xiaoyu with great concern, knowing he had clashed with this man before.
Seeing their enemy again, tensions ran high.
Wu Xiaoyu might be a good fighter, but who knows what kind of trouble might ensue?
However, something unexpected happened.
Brother Dao suddenly slapped Cai Xiaoqing hard, knocking him to the ground.
“Are you tired of living?
If you want to die, don’t drag me down with you!” Brother Dao yelled, stepping on Cai Xiaoqing’s chest menacingly.
Lv Zhaodi, trembling, was shocked speechless.
Wasn’t it Cai Xiaoqing who called Brother Dao?
Why did he beat little Qing without hesitation?
Seeing her boyfriend being beaten, Liu Xiaoyan wanted to rush in to help.
But meeting the fierce glare of a bald man behind Brother Dao, she hesitated.
Though she was little Qing’s girlfriend, it traditionally falls to the man to protect the woman.
As a girl, she shouldn’t be expected to protect him, right?
Lying on the floor, terrified, Cai Xiaoqing, asked with a fearful yet aggrieved tone, “Brother…
Brother Dao, what did I do wrong?”
Instead of answering, Brother Dao kicked him again before rushing over to Wu Xiaoyu, smiling obsequiously: “Mr.
Wu, are you alright?”
Instantly, the room fell silent.
Everyone stared, dumbfounded, at Brother Dao.
Wasn’t he just a thug?
They had the numbers and strength, so why did he give in before even starting a fight?
Why was he acknowledging Wu Xiaoyu as a superior?
Aunt Qi stared in disbelief at both Wu Xiaoyu and Brother Dao, feeling as though she was in the middle of a storm.
Wasn’t Brother Dao Wu Xiaoyu’s enemy?
Last time he went to Daxin Village to collect debts, didn’t Wu Xiaoyu teach him a lesson and vow revenge?
How did he end up like a mouse seeing a cat now?
Though it’s said that debtors called the shots, Wang Erma’s men were known for their strength.
Why bow to Wu Xiaoyu?
Besides, with Wu Xiaoyu now wealthy, he should have long since paid off his debts.
He wasn’t the type to dodge repayment!
Wu Xiaoyu gave Brother Dao a slight smile and asked, “Little Dao, is this your subordinate?”
Hearing this, Cai Xiaoqing’s shock only deepened, lying still on the floor.
In Longhe Town, besides Wang Erma, who else dared call Brother Dao “Little Dao”?
was really related to Wang Erma?
Brother Dao shot Cai Xiaoqing a deadly glare before smiling obsequiously: “Mr.
Zhang, he’s a new recruit of mine who didn’t know about your prestige.
He accidentally offended you.
Please, have mercy and forgive him.”
