Chapter 125 - 125 No Bear Child, Only Bear Parents (3 Updates)
After boarding the flower carriage, Zhang Xiulun tried several times to approach Yu Ran for a conversation.
However, Yu Ran didn’t pay him any mind; instead, she was cozily chatting with Xue An, looking very cheerful.
This nearly made Zhang Xiulun’s eyes shoot flames with rage.
Who is this brat? Daring to spoil my plans, and what is he discussing with Yu Ran? Talking so joyfully?
What he didn’t know was.
At that moment, Xue An gave Yu Ran a faint glance before saying, “Using me as a shield, have you asked about the price?”
Yu Ran chuckled, “I just hate that guy, so just block him for me for now. In Lingnan, I’ll have your back!”
Xue An was noncommittal.
He didn’t particularly dislike or like this young girl from the Yu Family.
She was just a stranger he had met by chance.
Just then, the sound of children’s quarreling and a girl’s crying came from the front of the flower carriage.
Yu Ran, who was speaking, felt a strong surge of killing intent and then saw Xue An’s face turn grim.
His expression looked as if he could eat someone alive.
Because Xue An had recognized the source of the crying!
Xue Xiang!
It must be his little daughter, Xue Xiang.
Xue An rushed to the front of the flower carriage, and the scene that unfolded before his eyes fueled his murderous aura even more.
He saw Xue Xiang sitting on the ground, her dress torn at one corner, bawling her eyes out.
And Xue Xiang was angrily debating something with a little girl opposite her.
This little girl, about eight or nine years old and fairly pretty, had a sharp and harsh expression as she argued with Xue Xiang, hands on hips.
“Why did you push my sister?” Xue Xiang asked angrily.
“I didn’t push her; she fell over by herself. And all I wanted was to try on your necklace, why so stingy?” the little girl said with a haughty look.
At this moment, Yu Ran and Zhang Xiulun, among others, had also rushed over.
Seeing her father arrive, Xue Xiang began to cry even more pitifully.
Xue An walked over, picked up the crying Xue Xiang from the ground, and then patted Xue Xiang’s little head.
“Don’t cry, daddy’s here!”
The little girl became a bit sheepish upon seeing the adults arrive, but upon spotting Zhang Xiulun, her face brightened.
“Uncle! Uncle! These people bullied me!” the girl quickly changed her expression, feigning great distress.
The girl was none other than Zhang Xiulun’s own niece, Zhang Xiaotong, who was eight years old this year.
Zhang Xiulun’s heart was secretly delighted.
So this guy’s already a father.
And upon realizing it was his niece involved, his arrogance intensified.
He also knew that his niece was quite a bully due to being overly doted on.
But they were just kids; bullying someone was no big deal.
Thinking so, Zhang Xiulun said insincerely, “Ah, children will be children, noise and scuffles are normal. Let it go, let it go!”
Xue An ignored him and kept whispering comforting words to Xue Xiang in his arms.
Soon, Xue Xiang, between sobs, said, “Daddy, she insisted on wearing my necklace, but it’s the one daddy gave me—I didn’t want to give it to her, and then she hit me!”
Xue An consoled her painstakingly for a long while before Xue Xiang stopped crying, then he looked up at Zhang Xiulun.
“What did you just say?”
Zhang Xiulun felt a chill from Xue An’s gaze, as if it made all his hair stand on end.
But he forced a chuckle and said, “They are just kids; some fighting and noise is normal. Let’s not get involved as adults, right?”
Yu Ran frowned, about to speak.
Xue An nodded, “You’re right!”
Zhang Xiulun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking smugly to himself that this man was indeed quite sensible.
But the next words from Xue An left him stunned.
“Children’s matters should be resolved by the children themselves!”
With that, Xue An looked down at Xue Xiang and said, “Go on, hit her!”
Xue Xiang hesitated a bit, “Daddy… .”
Xue An’s expression remained calm, “Didn’t she hit you? Then you should hit back ten times as hard!”
With gritted teeth, Xue Xiang walked towards Zhang Xiaotong.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaotong was full of defiance; she was used to being overbearing outside.
Moreover, Xue Xiang and Xue Xiang were only four or five years old; how could they beat me?
Zhang Xiaotong thought smugly to herself.
But as soon as Xue Xiang approached, she raised her little hand and gave Zhang Xiaotong a slap on the face.
Zhang Xiaotong hadn’t even reacted when the slap knocked her straight to the ground.
Xue Xiang was indeed a bit angry by now. She mounted Zhang Xiaotong’s back and started throwing punches like they cost nothing, making Zhang Xiaotong cry out loudly.
Now it was Zhang Xiulun’s turn to be utterly dumbfounded.
“You… you… stop it right now!” Zhang Xiulun said, enraged and humiliated.
Xue An, however, spoke indifferently, “Why should she stop? Oh, is it that only your people are allowed to hit others?”
“But… .”
Xue An gave a chilling smile, “Didn’t you just say that it’s best for us adults not to interfere in children’s matters?”
Zhang Xiulun’s face twisted as if he had swallowed a fly, full of embarrassment and anger.
Xue An watched quietly.
He wasn’t inciting his daughter to fight, but sometimes, when others have already bullied you to this extent, one must retaliate without hesitation.
Otherwise, one would only be bullied even worse step by step.
Keep in mind that his two daughters, though only four years old, had been strengthened with the top-tier Primordial Essence Elixir, giving their slaps the weight of several dozen pounds.
It was only because the two little girls were naturally peaceful that they didn’t know to use this strength against others.
After hitting her for a while, Xue Xiang got up, looking at Zhang Xiaotong lying on the ground, her face bruised and swollen, crying loudly.
“Daddy was right, if you dare bully me again, I’ll hit back ten times as hard!”
After saying this, Xue Xiang returned, strutting back with an air of defiance.
Zhang Xiaotong’s face was now a patchwork of blue and purple; she certainly couldn’t continue following the parade on the float any longer.
With no other choice, Zhang Xiulun had to carry his niece off the float, shooting a hateful glance at Xue An before getting off.
At this time, Yu Ran, who had been holding in his laughter, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Well done! That Zhang Xiaotong is infamous throughout Lingnan as a bratty kid!”
Yu Ran had heard about this notorious brat from the Zhang Family, a testament to how despised she was usually.
At the same time, Yu Ran’s curiosity about Xue An grew even more.
Who was this man, exactly? To let his own daughter get into a fight… This method of parenting was indeed unique.
“A bratty kid?” Xue An chuckled softly, “In my eyes, there are no bratty kids, only bratty parents!”
Zhang Xiulun returned home holding his niece.
His elder brother, and the current Family Head of the Zhang Family, Zhang Yi, was at home.
Seeing his daughter come back with injuries on her face, he exploded with fury.
“Who? Who did this?”
Zhang Xiulun exaggerated the story as he recounted the incident.
When he heard that this man was actually getting along well with Yu Ran,
Zhang Yi’s expression turned even uglier.
He had always hoped his brother could marry the young Miss from the Yu Family.
No, this man had to be dealt with.
