Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 182: Nobles are all thin-skinned_1

Though Xiao Ming had just been chatting with Zhuang Wending, a raging fury had been accumulating in his chest the entire time.

But he was no longer the kind of hot-headed kid who acted without thinking, and Zhuang Wending wasn’t just some common street thug. With his beloved wife held hostage, he had to be cautious, cautious, and then even more cautious.

If he struck, there would be no turning back, no room for even a slight error. He had to act decisively and use all his strength.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Zhuang Wending. Xiao Ming took a horse stance and, turning to the side, used the momentum to deliver a fierce Iron Shoulder Lean with considerable force.

Bang!

Zhuang Wending was sent spinning, his back slamming hard against a stack of solid wooden planks before he felt excruciating pain radiate from his chest to his entire body.

"Ugh..."

He tumbled off the planks to the ground, vomiting a pool of fresh blood. Every breath was unbearably painful; he couldn’t even scream out loud.

This single blow had broken at least two of his ribs and displaced organs; even if he didn’t die, he would have to be bedridden for three or four months to recover.

"Young Master!"

"Stop it!"

"Do you want to die?"

The Zhuang Family’s bodyguards shouted and threatened to rush forward, but not a single one dared to move.

Because Xiao Ming hadn’t finished yet.

He took a few steps forward, grabbed Zhuang Wending by the collar, lifting him high, and then let go to deliver a side kick.

Thud!

The sound was like hitting a burst sack, Zhuang Wending flying into the wall and then face down onto the ground.

However, Xiao Ming was far from done.

He flipped Zhuang Wending over, wound up his arm, and let loose a slap. Then, with a backhand, he slapped again, then with a forehand, backhand... forehand...

Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap...

He delivered dozens of slaps, until Zhuang Wending’s face was swollen like a pig’s head, with blood gushing from his eyebrows, eye sockets, nose, and mouth, several teeth sent flying.

"Fuck your mother!"

Xiao Ming’s eyes were bloodshot as he choked Zhuang Wending by the neck, gasping heavily like a madman, "That’s my wife! The treasure whom I fear might get bumped or scraped even when I hold her in my palm or cuddle her in my arms!

You fucking dared to lay a hand on her, if I don’t kill you today, how can I show my face out there..."

"Husband!"

A gentle call came from behind, pouring down like a bucket of ice water, sobering Xiao Ming up.

His face warmed as Jiang Xue brought her hands to his, pressing her forehead against his.

"It’s enough, it’s really enough. I’m not angry at all now, my face doesn’t hurt, I just feel happy.

Husband, let go of your anger, will you?"

Xiao Ming took a long breath out, "I’m sorry, I’ve failed as a husband, I didn’t protect you well enough."

"Nonsense! If you’re not a good husband, then who’s the one taking revenge for me right now?"

"It’s..."

"If you dare say adulterer, I’ll bite you!"

Xiao Ming laughed out loud, puckered his lips and kissed Jiang Xue, then said, "I know you’re worried that things might escalate and become unmanageable.

But you must understand, for so-called noble families, you not conforming is the same as things being unmanageable.

They have glass hearts that cannot tolerate the slightest defiance.

Therefore, today I must leave them with a thought, a thought that will make them shudder instinctively at the mere memory of it.

Only that way, when they plan to do anything in the future, will they have second thoughts.

Don’t worry, I’ve come back to my senses; I know when to stop and won’t kill him anymore."

Jiang Xue hesitated for a moment, then sighed silently, "Alright, you’re my husband, and I believe whatever you say."

With that, she stood up straight, stepped back a few steps, crossed her hands in front of her belly, her eyes brimming with smiles.

"Uh..." Xiao Ming hesitated, "Why don’t you first enjoy the river scenery outside the window? The scene later might be a little unsightly."

Jiang Xue shook her head, "I’m your wife. If you want to kill someone, I’ll help you hold the knife; if you want to start a fire, I’ll help you gather firewood.

Your glory is my glory, and of course, your sins are also my sins.

So, don’t worry about me, just do what a man should do."

Xiao Ming laughed again, "Although it’s cheesy, right now I just want to say, Xue’er, marrying you was the most correct and wisest decision of my life!"

Jiang Xue’s smile was as beautiful as a blooming flower, but the Zhuang Family’s bodyguards only felt it was utterly ridiculous.

Their esteemed young master was lying there, bleeding like a dead dog, and yet this couple was babbling sweet nothings to one another.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe such an oddity could exist in the world.

However, no matter what they thought or how anxious they felt, they had to obediently stay put.

Because Xiao Ming had picked up a handgun, and his originally warm expression had turned as calm and cold as ice, as if he were a zombie.

"I’ve noticed that you self-proclaimed nobles all have one thing in common."

He looked down at Zhuang Wending with a calm tone, "That is, you always feel that Heaven is the biggest except for yourselves, that the whole world should revolve around you, listening to your words, following your wishes.

You think too highly of yourselves.

Do you know what we commoners call such people?

Giant babies!"

Zhuang Wending moaned in pain, seemingly without the strength to even listen to him.

"Young Master Zhuang, how does it feel? Are you thinking that once you leave here, you’ll immediately call your family, and then how you’ll deal with me?

I suggest you think about one more thing: you are also human, with no extraordinary powers, and your family’s influence can’t become an armor to wear.

Before you leave here, guess whether you’ll still be in one piece?"

Zhuang Wending’s pain turned to fear in an instant, disregarding any family pride, he said tremblingly, "I... I apologize... compensation... I swear on my mother’s honor.

Let’s end this matter here, I will definitely not... not trouble you..."

Xiao Ming nodded, "I believe in your sincerity, but sadly, you’ve coveted what you have no right to covet, you’ve touched my most precious treasure. You no longer have the right to negotiate terms."

As he spoke indifferently, he grabbed Zhuang Wending’s right hand, spreading the fingers to press them onto a thick plank, and then he put the gun muzzle against the little finger.

Bang!

At least half of that little finger was blown into shreds.

"Ah—!"

Zhuang Wending’s agonized scream echoed through the spacious flat, turning Jiang Xue’s pretty face white with shock, and leaving the Zhuang Family bodyguards trembling with fright.

They knew they would face harsh consequences for failing to protect their young master once they returned.

The Zhuang Family’s rules didn’t care about the reasons; dereliction of duty meant punishment.

At this moment, the gun muzzle moved over to Zhuang Wending’s ring finger.

"But let’s talk about the Zhuang Family again. What are you really? You only show off on the borders of the Dian area, and you really think you’re a top-tier family?

I’ve seen plenty of hotshots more powerful than you, like the Li Family’s Li Du’an, the Jiang Family’s Jiang Yueli, the Yao Family’s Yao Shunqing, and the Ye Family’s Ye Huaishan.

Even if you haven’t met them, you must have heard of them. Any one of them could make the Zhuang Family obediently play the role of a dog, right?

But although they are also arrogant and overbearing, they don’t bully the common folk.

Do you know why? Because that would be beneath them.

Only someone of your third-rate trash quality would parade your family’s power in front of ordinary people, fearful that others might not be aware of it.

You’re no different from those coal tycoon upstarts.

And you think you can covet my wife?

Do you have any idea how insulting that is to her, huh?"

Bang!

As the words fell, Zhuang Wending’s ring finger was also half destroyed.
