Yu Minglang was thinking of several ways to deal with her that wouldnât hurt and felt proud, like a good man who would go against his own neckâno matter if itâs just for show, it is still a ruthless move!
Inside the room, Xiao Qian continued to persuade Professor Liu while he was still sulking, but after talking with her for a while, he seemed to have calmed down quite a bit.
âYou girl really understand me. I canât believe I let you wheedle me, I didnât know you were so good at talking.â
When Xiao Qian chatted, she listened more than she talked, but her words were like acupuncture and touched the heart.
âI think we have a good relationship, teacher. Iâm thinking of coming to you when I apply for graduate school.â
âWith your current knowledge, I think youâve already reached a masterâs level.â It was hard to believe that a child just starting college could have such enlightenment. The more they talked, the more they liked her.
âWhat a pity you were taken by Yu Gangdan. How great it would have been if you could become my daughter-in-law. Qi Lajiao is so lucky. His son can marry such a lovely daughter-in-law even though heâs messed up. Unlike me, although I have a good daughter-in-law, my son couldnât be alive to marry herâ¦â
The teacher sighed sadly.
His son had been gone for so long, and he was still deep in grief, unable to let go.
âNot bad?â Xiao Qian caught a keyword.
The teacher said his daughter-in-law is not bad?
However, the information Rong Yuan gave her was that she was a very heartless woman who took Liu Shuangâs insurance money and married someone else.
Even Yu Minglang, by default, thought she was no good. Xiao Qiang was usually quite steady when it came to talking about other people.
But just now the teacher said his daughter-in-law was good? Did she misunderstand or misinterpret it?
Xiao Qian was about to ask further but heard voices coming from outside.
âHow is that stubborn old lady from my Family doing?â
The teacher had just been sarcastically criticizing Uncle Liu, but when she heard his voice outside, her hands clenched into fists and her eyes flickered with joy. Of course, she instantly hid her emotions and pretended to complain unhappily.
âWho let him come, that old thingâ¦â
Noticing Xiao Qianâs sneaky smile, Professor Liu put on a serious face, âDid you know about this?â
âKnow what? Iâm a good person.â Xiao Qian immediately made an innocent expression.
Professor Liu narrowed her eyes, intending to cross-examine the slippery little girl, but stopped when she heard the voices outside.
âUncle Liu, Auntie Liu is out of danger now and will stay in the hospital for observation for a couple of days,â Yu Minglang answered.
âDad, didnât you say you wouldnât come?â Liu Li looked so happy to see his dad.
âI came by airplane. How could your mom faint?â
âI argued with my momâ¦â
Liu Liâs voice was so small that it couldnât be heard in the patientâs room. Uncle Liu was the only one talking. After a while, Liu Li let out a miserable cry, followed by Yu Minglangâs voice trying to break up the situation and the nurse giving a reminder.
âPatientsâ families, please control your emotions and donât make a scene in the hospital!â
âYou little brat! I warned you not to upset your mother! And you still managed to get her hospitalized!â
After that, there was a loud bang, and it was unclear what Uncle Liu had kicked.
Unable to bear it any longer, Professor Liu quickly pulled out the needle in her hand. Xiao Qian couldnât stop her in time, so she just watched the old lady pull out the needle and walk out quickly. Xiao Qian bent the needle to prevent the liquid from leaking and followed her out.
Outside of the room, Yu Minglang pulled Liu Li behind him, and with a smile, he tried to calm down Uncle Liu, âUncle, calm down!â
âYu Gangdan, get out of my way! Iâll even hit you if you piss me off!â
Uncle Liu was frightened out of his wits upon hearing that his wife, well, ex-wife, was in the hospital and rushed over anxiously.
When he arrived at the hospital and found out that she was fine, he was too embarrassed to enter her room and vented his anger on his son instead.
Professor Liu came out, saw the fire extinguisher lying to one side, knowing that it was the old man who had just kicked it, and sighed with relief. But seeing his angry face and his son hiding behind Yu Minglang with a fearful expression, she couldnât hold her anger in.
âXiao Liu, how are you feeling?â When Uncle Liu saw her coming out, he immediately restrained his anger and asked in the tone of a leader inspecting the situation.
âOld Liu, who gave you permission to hit my son?â
As soon as they heard this conversation, Xiao Qianâs shoulders shook slightly. Uncle Liu called the teacher Xiao Liu, and the teacher called Uncle Liu Old Liu. They both had the same last name â Liu. Could this be the romance unique to people of that era?
âHeâs my son too. Itâs only natural for me to discipline him.â He couldnât help himself but speak rudely when they met, even though his heart was filled with concern for her wellbeing before seeing her.
Upon hearing this, Professor Liu wanted to flare up, but she caught sight of Yu Minglang, Chen Xiaoqian, and her son Liu Li in the corner of her eye, all with the expressions of watching a spectacle.
So she suppressed her anger, put on the style of a senior intellectual, and said haughtily.
âLetâs not take up public resources. Weâll discuss this inside.â
They entered the room one after the other, and Xiao Qian was bragging to Yu Minglang.
âSee? My teacher has the quality of an intellectual. She never loses her temper in public places. Compared to you smelly men, always choosing to act like a gangster and kicking things around. If you break the fire extinguisher, youâll have to pay for it! I hate people who vent their anger by smashing things â no skill at all!â
As soon as the words were out of her mouth, there was a loud bang from inside the room, like the sound of an infusion stand falling to the floor, followed by Uncle Liuâs pleading voice.
âXiao Liu, letâs talk calmly, a true gentleman uses words, not violenceâ Ow!â
Yu Minglang raised his eyebrows, âQuality? Not losing temper?â
Xiao Qian was speechless, her teacherâs slap resounded throughout the room.
âMy mom loves hitting my dad. This is domestic violence, but I know sheâs just pretending and never really hits him. She always chose cheap things to break when venting her anger.â
Especially metal things, since they couldnât be brokenâ¦
âI hate people who break things when they argue? No skill at all?â Yu Minglang repeated Xiao Qianâs words again.
Xiao Qian, embarrassed, didnât know her teacher could play her so well. She couldnât let this bad guy show off, so she reached out and twisted Yu Minglangâs waist with force.
âI donât break things, I hit people, especially you, who have thick skin and strong bones!â
âThen Iâll also-â
Yu Minglang wanted to flirt with Xiao Qian but considering Liu Li was present, that kind of colorful language had to remain unspoken.
However, his eyes had already betrayed his intentions. Xiao Qianâs heart skipped a beat under his shameless gaze, what a big bad eggâ¦
But it was this big bad egg she loved; it was fate and their unique romance, just like that old couple inside the room.
