Chiang Xiao’s face was streaked with black lines.
Tyrant Meng really didn’t give a damn about saving face.
Wasn’t this a classic case of speaking about the mulberry tree while pointing at the locust tree? Saying this was definitely a slap to Xue Liujin’s face.
She felt her heart had already gone cold, but comparing it with his, she felt his heart was even colder. And this man was his grandfather’s old comrade-in-arms.
If so, the Xue Family members must be utterly ashamed.
The Xue Family members indeed were.
Madam Xue truly felt too ashamed to meet with Chiang Xiao.
"Xiao Chiang got injured too?" Xue Liujin’s face was a mix of pain and pleasure. He wasn’t angry with Meng Xinian since he had heard quite a lot about the young man’s temper.
His father’s face, Meng Xinian would hit whenever he pleased, showing absolutely no mercy. So why would he spare his?
Moreover, Meng Xinian wasn’t wrong. It was their fault in the first place. How innocent were Chiang Xiao and her grandparents?
That night should have been the one where they dealt with Wu Zhiyuan, not for Chiang Xiao to take action. It was exactly due to their inaction that Chiang Xiao had no choice but to step in.
Furthermore, what somewhat amused Xue Liujin was that even after being so humiliated by Meng Xinian, receiving such a stimulus, he found his spirit to be quite good. Especially last night, when he thought he’d be too angry to sleep, he unexpectedly slept soundly until dawn.
His spirits seemed to be improving day by day.
It showed that those Lingzhi mushrooms really were miracle workers!
After all, they had given him such precious Lingzhi. Even if it meant getting his face slapped, wasn’t it deserved?
Upon hearing that Chiang Xiao had been injured, his anger flared up once again.
Meng Xinian still had a foul expression, "Yes, she’s been hurt."
"Just a small bruise on the shoulder," said Chiang Xiao, who was already quite irritated with the Xue Family, but seeing how Meng Xinian was, her anger dissipated quite a bit.
As for learning about their mishap, Zheng Yucheng was the first one to rush over immediately.
"Just?" Meng Xinian was displeased with her understatement.
When he saw Old Wang gripping her shoulder so tightly yesterday, he knew her shoulder would definitely bruise, and after leaving the public security bureau, he had insisted they go to the hospital for an examination.
While Ge Liutao was applying medicine, a female doctor checked Chiang Xiao and indeed found a bruise on her shoulder and a slight red mark on her wrist.
This made Meng Xinian’s expression sour since then.
That morning, when Chiang Xiao went to look for him and found that he wasn’t in his room, it was a considerable time before he returned. When she asked where he had gone, his answer was, to beat someone up.
Chiang Xiao sweated, her knees telling her he had gone to beat up Old Wang.
Old Wang, who had spent a night in the hospital, was found the next morning with a swollen face and a dislocated arm.
Naturally, Meng Xinian would never discuss the details with Chiang Xiao, who learned about Old Wang’s injuries later on.
"It’s nothing serious," Chiang Xiao countered, not afraid of death, under someone’s displeased look. Was she supposed to act as if she couldn’t look after herself over just a little bruising?
Seeing his reaction, Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but want to tease him further, adding, "Someone previously taught me Boxing Technique and left a bruise on my arm, still visible to this day."
