"Hua Bao!"
Zhang Liunian and Jiang Qingqing cried out in unison upon seeing this.
Immediately, Zhang Liunian shot out like an arrow released from a bow, successfully catching his daughter, who had been kicked into the air by Wang Yue.
However, due to the momentum, both father and daughter tumbled to the ground.
As they landed, Zhang Liunian used himself as a cushion to protect his daughter from harm.
It was at this moment that Hua Bao, still shaken, managed to speak, "Waa... Daddy, Hua Bao was so scared, it hurt."
Zhang Liunian, enduring the pain in his back, quickly sat up and hugged his daughter, comforting her, "It's okay, it's okay. With Daddy here, no one can bully you. Hua Bao, don't cry!"
Hua Bao clung to her father's neck, but the pain in her body made her cry uncontrollably, "Wuwu... Hua Bao hurts so much."
"Daddy will rub it for Hua Bao. It won't hurt after rubbing," Zhang Liunian said, his heart aching as he saw his daughter's pained expression. He quickly checked her injuries.
He was shocked by what he saw. A bruise the size of a palm was on his daughter's small abdomen, which he judged to be from Wang Yue's kick.
Good, very good. This Wang Yue was truly venomous, capable of such malice towards a playing child. It showed how wicked her heart was.
If he didn't avenge his daughter, he wouldn't be a proper father.
With this thought, Zhang Liunian suddenly looked up at Wang Yue, who was attempting to leave, and shouted, "Crazy woman, stop right there! My daughter is injured like this because of you, and you're not even apologizing, just trying to leave?"
As soon as he spoke, Wang Yue stopped and turned to look at Zhang Liunian and his daughter, sneering, "What difference does it make if trash like you are around or not? You want me to apologize? I won't. What are you going to do about it?"
Zhang Liunian was enraged. He stood up with his daughter in his arms and was about to act when Jiang Qingqing rushed over.
"Hua Bao, my Hua Bao, does it hurt a lot? Mommy will blow on it for you."
Jiang Qingqing had been terrified earlier, fearing for her daughter's well-being. Fortunately, her daughter could still speak and cry out in pain.
"Qingqing, you hold Hua Bao. I'm going to get revenge for Hua Bao." Seeing his wife arrive, Zhang Liunian handed his daughter to her and walked towards Wang Yue step by step.
Wang Yue saw this and, instead of being afraid, provocatively called out, "Want revenge? Come on if you dare! Let's see who gets revenge on whom?"
She had brought three thugs with her today, so she wasn't afraid of Zhang Liunian.
"Hmph!"
Zhang Liunian saw no point in arguing with her. He charged forward. Before he could get close to Wang Yue, three burly men intercepted him.
Zhang Liunian didn't waste time with them. He launched a flying kick, followed by a spinning kick. With just three moves, he sent the three thugs flying.
Wang Yue, who had been eagerly waiting to witness the spectacle, suddenly couldn't smile anymore. Someone tell her, why was this Zhang Liunian so powerful? He had taken down her three hired thugs in just three moves. What should she do now?
No, she had to run. If her three thugs couldn't defeat Zhang Liunian, she certainly couldn't.
But she had only taken half a step before being kicked away, crashing into the mud-brick courtyard wall and falling to the ground.
It wasn't over yet. Before she could even get up, Zhang Liunian approached again, grabbed Wang Yue, and landed several punches on her, causing her face to contort in pain.
But this didn't stop her from pausing to threaten and curse, "Ah! You bastard, how dare you hit me! Just you wait, my father will deal with you... I'll make sure you die a horrible death and regret crossing me."
Zhang Liunian heard her but didn't care. She had kicked his daughter, and he intended to repay her doubly. "You like kicking people, don't you? I'll let you taste what it's like to be kicked."
Without waiting for her to respond, Zhang Liunian flicked his hand, lifted his leg, and kicked Wang Yue, sending her flying a considerable distance.
"Ah..."
"Yueyue!"
Yu Sheng, who had been standing at a distance, gaping, seemed to snap back to reality. He shouted and rushed over, "Yueyue, are you okay?"
Wang Yue, who had fallen face-first, brushed aside his hand, spat out blood, and glared fiercely at him, saying, "Are you blind? He beat up your girlfriend, and you don't even know to help me fight back? Are you even a man?"
"..."
Yu Sheng choked. Of course, he wanted to, but only if he could win.
He had just witnessed his cousin's fighting skills. Ten of him might not be enough to defeat his cousin. Going up there would be walking into a trap.
"Useless good-for-nothing! If you don't help me get revenge, we're breaking up, and we'll go our separate ways." Wang Yue saw his fearful silence and felt she had been blinded by his sweet talk. Being in a relationship with him made her furious.
Yu Sheng disliked her constant threats of breaking up, but he also knew that if he didn't help her get revenge, their relationship might be over. So, he slowly got up and looked at Zhang Liunian, saying, "Cousin, why don't you apologize to your cousin-in-law, and we can let this matter pass, okay?"
Hearing this, Wang Yue was almost furious. She staggered up from the ground and slapped Yu Sheng, "Pa."
This slap not only slapped Yu Sheng's face but also his dignity.
He had been enduring and trying to please her for over a year, finally looking forward to marriage. Yet, Wang Yue was constantly causing trouble, clearly not wanting to marry him anymore.
But he was unwilling to give up. He had put in so much effort, and now, just as success was within reach, it was all about to crumble.
"Useless thing, your girlfriend is being bullied, and you don't even help me get revenge. What use do I have for a man like you? Let's break up, you coward, you wimp."
The slap from Wang Yue was particularly satisfying. She tidied her clothes and hairstyle, turned to Zhang Liunian, and said fiercely, "You wait and see, I'll have my father deal with you right away."
After saying this, she turned to leave, but at that moment, someone grabbed her hand.
This person was none other than Yu Sheng. After much thought, he still couldn't bear to give up their relationship. He rushed forward, grabbed Wang Yue, and then immediately knelt on the ground with a plop.
His kneeling disgraced the entire Yu family.
Fang Xiaocao's face was extremely ugly, and her three uncles and aunts looked as if they had eaten something foul, unable to show their faces.
"Yueyue, I don't want to break up, and I can't be without you. I beg you not to leave. I promise, whatever you want, we'll do it, we'll listen to you, okay?" Yu Sheng was desperate. Today, he had to appease this wealthy girlfriend, or he would be single for the rest of his life. For this, he was willing to give up his male dignity.
Wang Yue, however, shook off his hand and said, "As long as you deal with your cousin, I'll forgive you. Otherwise, we break up."
"..." Yu Sheng was speechless. Why was she so fixated on this issue?
She knew he couldn't defeat his cousin, yet she wanted him to humiliate himself.
