Zhang Xiaoshan cleared his throat twice, while stealthily giving Luo Meili a look.
Luo Meili was no fool, and instantly woke up to the reality of the situation, realizing her lapse in composure, she immediately let go of Zhang Xiaoshan, muttering to herself as she did so.
"You say, we’re not related by blood or law, if anything were to happen to you, how could I ever explain it to your sister-in-law?"
Meanwhile, Wei Bao, who had been thrown to the ground, spoke with a foul mouth.
"Bullshit about not being related, no wonder this kid is so willing to help you, turns out you two have been fooling around all along."
Zhang Yulian said with fury.
"I knew it! You, this saucy fox, always running to the medical room for no good reason, turns out you were sneaking off to have an affair. Now that this is the case, you’re even less qualified to continue managing the wealth your man left behind, you, you should even return this house to the Wu family to deal with."
Luo Meili’s pretty face blushed with shame.
If her relationship with Zhang Xiaoshan were to become public, how could she face anyone? Moreover, the inheritance left by her man might indeed be snatched by the Wu family at any opportunity.
Zhang Xiaoshan was much more straightforward.
He strode confidently over to Wei Bao.
"What, what are you going to do?"
Wei Bao was already a bit shadowed by Zhang Xiaoshan.
"I’ll smash your mouth,"
Zhang Xiaoshan ferociously delivered several heavy slaps to Wei Bao’s face.
The usually arrogant Wei Bao was so taken aback that he didn’t dare to talk back to Zhang Xiaoshan, let alone fight back.
"Speak, keep talking."
Wei Bao was already beaten to the point his mouth was bloody.
Immediately, his head was shaking like a rattle-drum.
"No, no, no, I was talking nonsense, I won’t dare anymore."
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Wei Bao’s crestfallen appearance, feeling somewhat comforted in his heart.
He was teaching Wei Bao a lesson but also venting for the noble woman.
Soon after, he turned his gaze towards Zhang Yulian.
"Do you believe I could give you a couple of slaps too?"
"Zhang Xiaoshan, don’t be too arrogant. I was involved with your sister for a while, and you should show some respect to my mother," Wu Yong spoke unabashedly.
Zhang Xiaoshan, however, responded with nonchalance.
"I’ve already said, I have nothing to do with your sister anymore. Besides, it’s not like you and your sister haven’t tasted my hand before. Is it because I haven’t slapped you recently that your mouths are itching again?"
Zhang Xiaoshan’s eyes were fierce as he looked at Wu Yong, who was so scared by the unspoken threat that he quickly retreated.
Zhang Yulian didn’t dare to breathe too loud.
"All of you, listen up: when I had no money for school fees, Auntie Meili helped me. If she’s in trouble, of course I will step in. If you compete fairly, I have nothing to say, but if anyone dares use dirty tricks again, I definitely won’t be polite."
"If you don’t believe me, go ahead and try."
Zhang Xiaoshan’s tone was extremely firm and resolute, carrying a threatening air.
Everyone had seen his methods; no one doubted that Zhang Xiaoshan meant what he said.
"I believe it, I believe it. I swear this matter is done with, I won’t dare come again," Wei Bao nodded and bowed incessantly.
This kind of person was like grass on top of a wall, imposing only when bullying the meek, but crumbles when facing someone ruthlessly assertive.
Zhang Xiaoshan couldn’t be bothered with them anymore, and with a fierce shout, Wei Bao immediately scampered up from the ground and ran off like smoke.
"Luo Widow, you, just you wait."
"Today this rotten kid is helping you, but I don’t believe he can be with you every day. If you’re so capable, let him live in your house," Zhang Yulian spat out her words venomously, dragging her precious son along as they quickly ran off.
The onlooking villagers immediately burst into laughter.
Today, Zhang Yulian and her son Wu Yong ended up with nothing, failing to seize the business opportunity and instead losing face spectacularly.
"Little Shan, thank you."
Luo Meili walked up to Zhang Xiaoshan, looking at him affectionately. For origınal chapters go to 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵
Even though Zhang Xiaoshan was several years her junior, in that moment he gave her an immense sense of security.
She even felt that Zhang Xiaoshan was her man.
"Auntie Meili, you don’t have to thank me; it’s only right to step in when seeing injustice," Zhang Xiaoshan replied.
"If there’s nothing else, you go on with your purchases, I’ll be leaving now."
Zhang Xiaoshan genuinely felt anxious.
If he continued to stay there any longer, people might start suspecting the nature of his relationship with Luo Meili.
Zhang Xiaoshan headed straight back to the medical room.
As night fell, he stealthily made his way to Luo Meili’s house.
Meanwhile, a plump woman also quietly approached the medical room.
