Super Soldier-Chapter 8 - Xie Family, Xiao Bing, an Inevitable Clash
Xiao Bing seemed to be hesitating, Li Chunlan glared at his daughter, “Lil Bin, you don’t have to worry about her, this child is spoiled by me, you just have to live in the house, at least I still have the final say in this family!”
“Mom… how can such a big man live in our home? Even if I don’t care, aren’t you afraid of what the neighbors might say?” Lil Bin asked.
“There’s nothing to gossip about. Besides, if we sit up straight, we won’t be afraid of gossips,” her mother replied.
“Well, I disagree. He can move in and I’ll move out tomorrow,” Lil Bin quipped.
“You, you can just piss me off to death…” Li Chunlan suddenly opened her mouth and clutched her chest. Her face was as white as snow and sweating like rain.
Xiao Bing and Su Xiaoxiao rushed around. Su Xiaoxiao was so scared that she almost cried. She stamped her feet repeatedly and said, “Mom, what’s wrong with you? Mom, don’t be angry. I agree. Can’t I agree?”
Xiao Bing said, “I’ll go find a doctor.”
Xiao Bing was going to go out to find a doctor. Li Chunlan wiped her sweat, but her face was still pale. She reluctantly smiled, “I’m fine, Xiao Bing, don’t go. It’s all the old problems… Didn’t the doctor say, that I have a tumor in my head, and I’ll be fine after the operation.”
Xiao Bing stopped, looked at Li Chunlan and asked, “Auntie, are you really all right?”
“It’s really okay. Listen to me. You’ll live in our house from tonight and work in the noodle shop from tomorrow. Business is booming now. Don’t shut down for too long. I can’t leave the hospital now. The noodle shop will be handed over to you.”
“Auntie, don’t worry. I will help you take good care of your business,” Xiao Bing assured.
In the evening, Xiao Bing wanted to stay for the night, but Li Chunlan said it was useless. He thought carefully that it was not very convenient for him to stay there, as a big man, so he took the key to Su’s house and prepared to leave. When he reached the door, he suddenly winked at Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao followed out of the ward and before he walked away. She asked coldly, “What do you wanna say to me?”
She had always been biased against Xiao Bing, plus now that Xiao Bing would live in her home, the tone was naturally not very good.
Xiao Bing did not care about this. Looking at Su Xiaoxiao, he said with a serious face, “Xiaoxiao, I have something to ask you about your sister’s death… Have you received any packages or noticed anything strange around you recently?”
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao heard about the death of her sister, she forgot her prejudice against Xiao Bing. She thought about it carefully, and shook her head and said, “No.”
Xiao Bing sighed, it seems that the traitor would not be found out so quickly. In fact, before going back, Xiao Bing also thought about another problem: maybe the traitor does not exist. Maybe the one that asked Su Peiya out was just talking nonsense before he died, but the possibility was very low.
Xiao Bing thought for a moment and said, “It’s okay. If you find any clues, just give them to me at any time.”
“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Bing seriously and said, “I do have complaints against my sister, but she is still my sister. If you can avenge her, I may not continue to hate you.”
Xiao Bing smiled, “I understand.”
“Also, you can stay in my sister’s room, but you’d better not touch anything. And don’t think you have won now, I will try every means to drive you out of my house.”
“I understand,” Xiao Bing smiled. “Can I go now? Go back and take good care of your aunt, Xiaoxiao. You are a good girl, but it is not so easy to get rid of me. I promised your sister to take good care of your mother and daughter, and I will certainly do what I say, at least I will not leave until auntie recovers.”
After Xiao Bing finished speaking, he gave Su Xiaoxiao a deep look and then left.
Su Xiaoxiao gawked at Xiao Bing’s back. She suddenly felt that Xiao Bing was somewhat different than before. As for what had changed, she could not say for sure.
Then, thinking of the two sentences when Xiao Bing left, she suddenly huffed and stamped her foot. “Alright, Xiao Bing. Are you provoking me? I will accompany you and see how long you can stay in my house!”
Xiao Bing walked down from the upstairs, he nearly collided head-on with a person. The other party was about to open their mouth to swear, but after seeing Xiao Bing clearly, they dared not and hurriedly left.
Xiao Bing touched his nose and wondered, “Do I look so terrible?”
At this moment, in a VIP ward of the same hospital, a mummy was lying on the sickbed with his body wrapped in bandages. Next to her, a middle-aged woman in luxurious clothes was sitting beside the bed, crying with snot and tears. In the ward, there was also a livid-faced 40-year-old man in a suit. Behind the man stood a grim-faced bodyguard.
The middle-aged man in the suit looked at his son, who was lying on the bed humming. His heart was filled with grief and anger. He pointed at him and shouted angrily, “Look at you, dating girls and making troubles every day. Like this, how can Ye Xinyi possibly like you? Don’t go out and shame me. How did I give birth to such a useless thing as you?”
As it turned out, the middle-aged man was Xie Lun, head of the Xie family in Jiang City. The one lying in bed was Xie Gucheng, who was beaten like a dog by Xiao Bing outside the airport. Naturally, the one wiping away tears was Zhang Junru, the mother of Xie Gucheng.
After hearing Xie Lun’s words, Zhang Junru shouted crazily, “Your son was beaten like this, yet you don’t want to find the person who beat him and be here lecturing our son. Is there another father like you?”
Xie Lun responded angrily, “It’s you that have spoiled this bastard. He deserves to be taught a lesson. And how many times have I said that you can’t offend the big girl in Ye’s family? Why are you still following her ass?”
Xie Gucheng’s mouth could hardly move, and he muttered, “Dad, this has nothing to do with Xinyi.”
Xie Lun snorted and said, “Remember this, Ye Xinyi is not someone you can provoke.”
Zhang Junru defended for her son, unconvinced. “How can you say that to our son? Our son did those for the sake of the Xie Family. If he marries Ye Xinyi, the position of the Xie Family will rise. Who doesn’t know that the Ye Family is the first family in Jiang City? The wealth of the Ye Family is worth half of Jiang City’s!”
“Silly woman, just shut up. Ye Xinyi’s request is high, and her shrewdness is so deep that even I can’t see her through. How can she possibly like this kid? She’s just using him!” Xie Lun suddenly stood up, and Zhang Junru dared not speak.
Although Xie Lun was angry, it was his son who was lying on the bed after all. After losing his temper, he looked back at his bodyguard and said, “The man who injured him must be found as soon as possible. Damn it, who even dares to beat my son?! I must tear him apart.”
As soon as his voice fell, a bodyguard rushed in from the outside and saw Xie Lun looking back at him. He had a cold shiver and gasped, “I, I saw the man… In the hospital… The man who beat the young master…”
Xie Lun suddenly stood up and said with a ferocious tone, “Where is he?”
“I just encountered him on the stairway of the second floor, and I’m afraid he’s already left.”
“A monk can escape, but the temple is still there! You go to the director’s office now and say that I asked you to go there. Ask him to help find out if this person has any relatives or friends hospitalized here. Tell me when it’s done.”
“I’m going now,” said the bodyguard.
When the man left, Xie Gucheng’s eyes were filled with deep hatred, but there’s some deep fear in it. His mother beside him jumped up and shouted, “Xie Lun! If you don’t tear him to pieces and revenge the child, I will divorce you!”
“Shut up!” Xie Lun shouted. Xie Lun scolded, “Bitch, if you don’t take good care of this boy in the future, what I have achieved in my whole life will be ruined by him!”
Zhang Junru said unconvincedly, “What about this issue then? Since you’ve found the man, why don’t you call the police and arrest him? Send him to jail for life!”
“Women. You don’t know shit!” Xie Lun’s eyes beamed with vicious light. “The best way to revenge is not to do something to the enemy, but to find a way to make him want to die! That man dared to beat my son and let people in Jiang City make fun on Xie Family. How can I simply let him go?”
At this moment, the bodyguard at the door suddenly shouted, “The miss of the Ye Family is here!”
Xie Lun shot his wife a fierce glance and sat back in the chair again with a calm face.
With a creaking sound, Ye Xinyi walked into the ward from the outside. When she saw Xie Gucheng bandaged like a mummy, she said apologetically, “Uncle and auntie, it’s all my fault that I failed to protect Brother Xie. I come here to make amends.”
Several of Xie Gu Cheng’s teeth had been knocked out. He looked flattered and muttered, “Xin… Yi. How can you take the blame for this? It has nothing to do with you.”
Xie Lun inwardly scolded that his son was a loser. But on the surface, he smiled and said, “Xinyi, it’s very kind of you. When you were young, I had hugged you. Besides, it’s the bumpkin that should be blamed for this matter. It has nothing to do with you.”
Ye Xinyi smiled and said, “In fact, Brother Xie is innocent. Alas, the man just fought without saying much. I wanted to use the name of the Xie Family to frighten him, but I didn’t expect that he didn’t care. Oh…If I accidentally said something wrong, please don’t take it as an offense.”
“It’s okay.” Xie Lun knew that Ye Xinyi was provoking, but his heart was still inflamed with anger. His eyes flashed with anger, and he said, “I’ll make that reckless boy know that death is better than life.”
Ye Xinyi saw that her goal had been achieved, and then immediately smiled and handed the flowers to Zhang Junru. Then she smiled and said, “Brother Xie, recover well. When you are well, I will make amends and have dinner with you. Um… My father has just returned from Europe and is not in good condition. I have to go back to take care of him. I’m leaving now.”
Xie Lun stood up and saw Ye Xinyi out of the door, “Nice to see you.”
After Ye Xinyi left, Xie Lun slapped the door frame hard and said, “This Ye Xinyi…”
The bodyguard behind him said, “Sir, she came to provoke.”
“I know, but now there must be a lot of people in this city see the Xie Family as a joke. After being beaten by a nameless bumpkin, if we still submit to humiliation, everyone would dare to do so in the future. I will take advantage of this matter to let Jiang City know that the Xie Family is not this easy to fu*k with!”
