Zhang Xiaoshan’s actions, in Wang Xiaolong’s eyes, were a clear provocation and disdain.
"You, just wait, when the people arrive, I’ll make you pay,"
that old bastard Zhang Yulian was also following up with an echo.
"Dare to hit my precious son-in-law, you, you’re just asking for trouble. Do you know who my precious son-in-law’s dad is? He’s the richest man in Qingshan Town. Nobody dares to disrespect his dad. By hitting Mr. Wang, you’re digging your own grave. You’ll get what’s coming to you."
Seizing the opportunity to see Zhang Xiaoshan embarrassed, Wu Yong followed up with a sneer.
"Zhang Xiaoshan, do you think this is White Dragon Village? Mr. Wang is one of the most prominent young masters in Qingshan Town. Think you can lead a good life after offending him?"
"The minions he has under his thumb are not as easy to deal with as the villagers back home."
Zhang Xiaoshan was utterly disdainful and unwilling to waste even a single word on them.
Then, the always silent Wu Xiaoru spoke up.
At this moment, her tone was as arrogant as a savior’s when she addressed Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Little Shan, I know you still have feelings for me. You’re causing a scene here just to ruin Little Long’s matchmaking, aren’t you? But let me tell you, the day you hit me in front of the whole village and embarrassed my mother, I’d never easily forgive you."
"However, considering our past relationship, if you apologize to my mother now, I can try to plead with Mr. Wang for you. Maybe he’ll let you off the hook. Otherwise, there’s no way you’re leaving here smoothly today."
"Considering past affection?"
Zhang Xiaoshan let out a cold laugh.
"How come I never realized how hypocritical and disgusting you were before? You clearly want to see me bow down and embarrass myself, dressing it up in such noble words. Expecting me to apologize to your mother? You’re dreaming. Also, do you think I’m here to disrupt your matchmaking? Hah, you’re thinking too highly of yourself. I’ve long annulled our engagement. Just the thought of giving you another glance disgusts me, let alone coming here for you!"
Realizing her presumptuousness, Wu Xiaoru immediately turned red with embarrassment.
Wang Xiaolong seized the chance to show off.
"Little Ru, don’t be angry. Once my people arrive, I’ll have this guy kneel down and apologize. I’ll make sure his face swells up,"
As they spoke, a group of people charged in mightily.
There must have been at least a dozen of them, each armed with a weapon.
What’s more extravagant was that one of them was also wielding an axe.
Qingshan Town was locally known as a prominent agricultural trade market. Conflicts often arose in the struggle for business, and as the largest local agricultural trader, the Wang family naturally maintained a number of thugs.
A few thugs were shocked at the sight of Wang Xiaolong’s disheveled appearance.
Having his men arrive bolstered Wang Xiaolong’s confidence, and he straightened his spine.
"Kid, kneel down and kowtow, or I’ll have my men break your dog legs right now."
Zhang Xiaoshan scoffed with disdain.
"You can try." Google seaʀᴄh 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
"Get him, beat him to death," Wang Xiaolong ordered with a wave of his hand, and the dozen or so thugs immediately howled as they rushed at Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Dare to mess with Mr. Wang, we’ll break your dog legs."
One man, taking the lead, swung his club toward Zhang Xiaoshan’s left leg.
Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t make a single move to dodge.
a baseball bat as thick as an arm was suddenly split in half by Zhang Xiaoshan’s kick, and then with another kick to the man’s chest, he sent him flying away like a cannonball, overturning two more thugs in the process.
"This guy’s got some skills; everyone be careful,"
This time someone swung an ax straight at him.
Zhang Xiaoshan moved quickly, dodging to one side.
The ax whooshed past the side of Zhang Xiaoshan’s face.
Zhang Xiaoshan stepped forward and delivered an elbow strike right into the man’s groin.
The man was in so much pain that he clutched himself and lay on the ground, writhing like a bent caterpillar.
People kept rushing over, but they all ended up the same way, falling to the ground one after another like bowling pins at the hands of Zhang Xiaoshan.
The Wu family members and Wang Xiaolong standing by widened their eyes in amazement, their mouths agape as if they could stuff eggs in them.
"Is, is this kid on drugs?"
Wu Yong, who had experienced Zhang Xiaoshan’s skills last time, knew he was tough to handle, but to see him deal with over ten strong men armed with weapons so effortlessly was simply exaggerated.
Wu Xiaoru looked on as if she were seeing a stranger.
She had been with Zhang Xiaoshan for many years, and he had always seemed meek to her; this was the first time she had seen him in such a state.
By now, everyone had been knocked down by Zhang Xiaoshan and was lying on the ground.
Zhang Xiaoshan’s sharp gaze fell on the shocked Wang Xiaolong standing aside.
"What, what do you want to do?"
Wang Xiaolong retreated in fear, but Zhang Xiaoshan already closed in.
He grabbed Wang Xiaolong by the collar and landed a heavy slap across his face.
After seven or eight slaps, Wang Xiaolong was seeing stars, his mouth full of blood.
Just now, he had wanted to swell Zhang Xiaoshan’s face, but now his own face was swollen from Zhang Xiaoshan’s spanking, how ironic.
"Big brother, stop hitting me, I know I was wrong, please spare me..."
People like Wang Xiaolong were only bullies to the weak and cowards in the face of the strong. Even if he wanted revenge on Zhang Xiaoshan, that was for the future. Right now, it was better to beg for mercy and escape the predicament.
Zhang Xiaoshan released his hand and Wang Xiaolong collapsed on the ground.
Looking down on him, Zhang Xiaoshan said coldly,
"Do you think stealing someone else’s girlfriend is enjoyable? Hmph, did you never think that what you want is nothing more than an old shoe I’ve thrown away?"
Wang Xiaolong’s face flushed with shame.
Having been physically beaten up, he was now also being publicly humiliated, but who could argue when Zhang Xiaoshan’s fists were bigger? Grudgingly, he didn’t dare to utter a single word.
On the other hand, Wu Xiaoru was blushing with shame and anger, scolding Zhang Xiaoshan fiercely.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about, when, when did I become an old shoe, you, you..."
Zhang Yulian, a bit anxiously, asked Wu Xiaoru,
"You, you said that this guy didn’t succeed, right..."
Zhang Xiaoshan replied with a counter-question,
"Having an engagement and still going on dates with other men, isn’t that being an old shoe?"
"You’re the old shoe."
Wu Xiaoru retorted, unconvinced.
"Zhang Xiaoshan, you just can’t get me, so you want to ruin me, right?"
"I’ll tell you this, even if you tarnish my reputation, no other woman will marry you. You can wait to be a bachelor for life. Besides, even if you can find a woman, could she be as good-looking or have a figure as great as mine?"
At that moment, a stunning figure rushed in from outside and wrapped her arms around Zhang Xiaoshan’s arm, complaining to him coquettishly,
"Little Shan, how did you end up here? I’ve been looking for you, and it was so hard."
