Song Zhou didnât want Ruan Xue to touch his wife again. She was strong and his heart would ache if she accidentally hurt his wife.
He stood between Ruan Qi and her mother and said to Ruan Xue, âRuan Qi is my wife now. We are husband and wife. You can tell me if thereâs anything.â âWhat are you talking about?â
âRuan Xue, whatâs going on? Your daughter is already married, yet you set her up on a blind date with me? Are you trying to humiliate me?â
Ma Baomu stood up angrily and roared at Ruan Xue. His attitude was very arrogant.
âNo, no. Ruan Qi is just kidding. I donât even know. How could she be married?â
Ma Baomu looked at Ruan Qi and sneered. âYouâre quite something. You fool around with men outside and got married without even informing your parents. A woman like you is a jinx to whoever you married. One wonders if you are already pregnant with a b*stard childâ¦â
Ruan Qiâs eyes turned red with anger when she heard the man humiliate her baby. She wanted to retort but was stopped by Song Zhou.
Song Zhou patted her back worriedly. âRuan Qi, Miss Ruan, donât get upset. Your health is the most important.â
Ruan Qi took a deep breath. According to Tang Beibei, her vitality was badly damaged when she fell into the pond last time and she needed to recuperate. If she became agitated, her blood flow would become abnormal and it could easily lead to a miscarriage.
She held on to her belly and told herself to not get upset for the sake of the baby.
The world is so beautiful yet Iâm so irritable. Thatâs not good, not goodâ¦
But when she heard someone call her baby a b*stard, she didnât feel good. She looked at Song Zhou with her lips pursed.
âI feel hurt.â
Song Zhouâs heart ached when he saw her red eyes. He cupped her face and kissed her eyes.
âDonât feel hurt. Your husband is here. Iâll definitely teach this man a lesson.â
Ruan Qi glared at Ma Baomu and said, âI want you to hit him in the mouth.
Such a bad mouth he has! Hit him until he begs for mercy!â
âYes, Iâll definitely hit him!â
Song Zhou turned to look at Ma Baomu. This man had called his child a b*stard for no reason. One beating alone was not enough!
Song Zhou took two steps forward, and Ma Baomu was frightened by his stance. He retreated and said in a trembling voice, âI, Iâm telling you now⦠Iâm the only son of the Ma family, the only young master of the Ma family. If you dare to touch me, Iâll definitely ask my father to destroy you and make you regret it.â
Song Zhou sneered. What Ma family? He had never heard of the Ma family in capital city.
Song Zhou raised his leg, and Ma Baomu was so scared that he hugged his head and screamed in horror, âRuan Xue, Ruan Xue, if I get beaten up at your house, my father will definitely not let you off!â
Ruan Xue rushed forward and stood between him and Song Zhou.
She pointed at Song Zhou and shouted, âYou b*stard, how dare you behave atrociously in my house? Get out now!â
Song Zhou rotated his ankle and lifted his leg again.
Ruan Xue saw that he was ready to fight and shouted angrily, âAre you thinking about beating me up too? Come, come, and hit me. I would like to see how capable you are. You brainless boor, pauper, you piece of trash!â
Ruan Xueâs expression was vulgar and ferocious when she cursed.
Song Zhou was expressionless despite being scolded. He rotated his ankle again and kicked at Ruan Xueâs head, causing a whoosh near her ear.
Ruan Xue felt her hair move as the gust of cold air flew past her, like a sharp knife cutting through her skin. She was so frightened that she fell on the sofa speechlessly.
She was a classic case of someone who wouldnât shed tears until they saw the coffin.
She would only be scared when her well-being was threatened.
This man might be a pauper and a piece of trash, but his kick was powerful. She had no doubt that one kick to her head would send her to the hospital.
Song Zhou took a quick step forward and elegantly kicked Ma Baomu in the chest.
Ma Baomu fell clumsily to the floor and curled up in pain.
Song Zhou walked towards Ma Baomu and he retreated in fear.
âItâs not good to hit people. Letâs talk things out.â
Song Zhou sneered. âYou must pay the price for speaking rudely!â
He stepped on Ma Baomuâs body and then kicked his toes. âApologize to my wife!â
âIâm sorry. I should have known better. I shouldnât have said that.â
Ma Baomu was so scared that his legs were shaking along with all the flabby muscles on his body.
He was afraid that Song Zhou would kill him with a kick.
Ruan Qi was also shocked by Song Zhouâs kung fu.
She knew that he had some martial arts skills, but she didnât expect him to be so powerful.
She stared at him affectionately and clapped. âHubby, youâre so cool!â
Song Zhou turned to look at her. His ears turned red from her sudden praise.
He stepped on Ma Baomuâs body again, causing Ma Baomu to cry out in pain.
He then pointed at Ruan Xue and said, âYou should apologize to my wife too, or Iâll cripple him today!â
Ruan Xue gulped in fear. âAre you kidding me? Ruan Qi is my daughter. Itâs my business if I want to hit or scold her. Who are you to lecture me?â
âBesides, you want to marry my daughter and be my son-in-law. If you humiliate me like this, I wonât let you off either!â
Ruan Xue maintained her imposing manner and glared at Ruan Qi. âRuan Qi, quickly tell the thing you brought here to leave. Ma Baomu is the only young master of the Ma family. If he gets injured, we wonât be able to explain ourselves!â
Ruan Qi walked up to Song Zhou with a distressed expression and then said with a smile, âWhat should I do? Iâm already married to him. Iâll have to listen to my husband. And I must support my husbandâs actions. If my husband wants to hit someone, I must cheer him on.â
Song Zhou was amused by Ruan Xueâs sarcastic retort. He then looked at Ruan Xue and said in a cold voice, âIf you want her to listen to you, you must give her due respect. You meddle in her life just because youâre her mother. You donât respect her wishes and push her to different men. She can do without a mother like you!â
Blood relations couldnât be severed but they could keep their distance.
Ruan Xue was unreasonable first, so they couldnât be blamed for returning the favor!
Song Zhou kicked Ma Baomu away. Ma Baomu weighed more than 90 kg but he was easily kicked away. It could be seen how powerful Song Zhouâs kick was.
Ma Baomu wailed again and tried to get up. He pointed at Ruan Qi and Song Zhou and yelled, âWho the hell are you? Tell me your name because I wonât let you off!â
Song Zhou put his arm around Ruan Qi and said, âIâm Jiang Jingchenâs butler.
Iâll be waiting for you.â
âA mere butler but so arrogant. Iâll make you wish that you were dead. B*stard! Ptui!â
Ruan Xue found the man in front of her somewhat familiar, but she would never have thought that the man she considered trash worked for the first young master of the Jiang family, one of the wealthiest families in capital city.
Ma Baomu, who finally stood up, spat on the floor before he pointed at Ruan Qi and cursed, âRuan Xue, you b*tch, I wonât let you off either!â
âHey, Baomu, Baomuâ¦â
Ruan Xue panicked and wanted to give chase. Her knee hit a wooden stool and she cried out in pain. She covered her leg and watched Ma Baomu walk away. âRuan Qi, youâve screwed up big time!â
âIf I didnât screw up, youâd have given me to that horrible man. Youâre really my good mother!â Ruan Qi mocked.
Ruan Xue did not feel that she was in the wrong. âYou donât know whatâs good for you. I painstakingly found a suitor for you so that you can live a happy life. Baomu is very good. You wonât lose out by being with him!â
Ruan Qi could not agree with her motherâs viewpoint, like how her mother abandoned her biological father when she was young to be with another man. Her mother felt that if she married rich, she would live a good life.
Ruan Qiâs biological father had loved her with all his heart. He always put her first but she felt that his sincerity was worthless.
Since heâs so good, why donât you marry him?â
