The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 21: Li Chenggang Comes Calling

It’s someone else’s family matter, so Wen Ran didn’t want to interfere too much, but she really felt the Xiao Family’s choice was excellent.

No doubt.

"I think you’re right."

Wen Ran affirmed, "The Li family are just pure evil. If you’re soft with them this time, they’ll only get worse. Someone who doesn’t even spare their own children can’t be anything good."

"I think so too."

Xiao Chenye smiled, "However, you’re a city girl. Even you think I did the right thing, so there’s no doubt what I did was right."

"Mm!"

Wen Ran pulled out a smile, then winced with pain.

Xiao Chenye noticed the injuries on Wen Ran’s face; he pursed his lips, "Let’s not talk about it anymore, hurry up and go take a shower, you’ll feel more comfortable."

"Okay."

When they arrived at the Xiao Family, the bathwater was already prepared.

It was even thoughtfully brought into the bathroom.

Without much thought, feeling sticky and itchy, she couldn’t wait to shower.

After changing into clean clothes, Mrs. Xiao was sitting there waiting with iodine and cotton swabs, "Come here quickly."

"Auntie."

Wen Ran’s hair was still wet and dripping, she wiped her hair, ran over quickly, "What’s up?"

"I’ll apply some medicine on your face."

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Wen Ran dodged, "It’s okay, it’ll heal soon."

Mrs. Xiao didn’t let her dodge, turned Wen Ran’s face and carefully applied iodine with a cotton swab, saying, "A young girl should love looking pretty, can’t let the face scar."

Closer inspection showed Wen Ran was indeed beautiful, her skin smooth and tender, like a peeled egg.

Mrs. Xiao used the chance of applying iodine to touch her face several times.

It was truly tender.

"Mom, are you home?"

Wen Ran almost watched in awe as Mrs. Xiao’s face suddenly fell.

She put down the iodine, her gaze heavy towards the door.

Following her gaze, Wen Ran looked over. It was a man riding a bicycle, somewhat refined, wearing glasses that sat on his nose, not tall.

Yet, Wen Ran felt uncomfortable looking at his whole demeanor.

Li Chenggang chuckled lightly, pushed the bicycle in, acting friendly as if nothing happened yesterday, "I admit it’s my fault for not taking good care of Chenyue and letting her be wronged."

He took a palm-sized piece of pork from the bicycle’s handlebar, looking down, "Just passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, brought some pork for mom."

Mrs. Xiao sneered, kept Wen Ran’s face steady, continued applying medicine indifferently, "Don’t call me mom in the future. Apart from Chenyue, I have nothing to do with you.

Calling me that disgusts people."

Li Chenggang’s expression remained unchanged; he glanced at Wen Ran.

Wondering in his mind whose family she belonged to, looking quite pretty.

Turning his head, he retorted, "Mom, saying that hurts my feelings. I admit what my mom did was wrong, but you have to understand me!

Married for five years, Chenyue didn’t give me a child, I’ve always said nothing.

After finally carrying one, it turned out a worthless girl, I also need an heir, right?"

Wen Ran was greatly shocked, and Mrs. Xiao stood up directly, coldly saying, "Chenyue didn’t give birth for five years, blame my daughter?

Three years ago, when your malicious sister pushed my pregnant daughter, causing her to immediately miscarry a fully-formed boy, since then, her health has suffered."

Li Chenggang sighed, "Mom, as a sister-in-law, it’s not appropriate for Chenyue to hold it against my sister.

It was just losing a child, yet Chenyue is still fine, which woman doesn’t have a miscarriage?"

Saying so, he felt justified and asserted confidently, "Besides, it takes two to tango, Chenyue was stingy. If she had given that egg to my sister earlier, how would my sister push her?"

Mrs. Xiao was shaking with anger, and Wen Ran turned her eyes, "You just said, it takes two to tango?"

"What else?"

Wen Ran stood up, stepped forward, raised her hand, and slapped twice, "Does one hand make a sound?"

Li Chenggang was bewildered by the slaps.

Mrs. Xiao also didn’t expect Wen Ran would be so bold, going up and hitting him.

Fearing Li Chenggang would come to his senses and Wen Ran would be at a disadvantage, she pulled Wen Ran back, and didn’t forget to shout for her son, "Xiao Chenye! Are you deaf?

This little brat bullied us all the way to our doorstep, and you don’t even say a word?!"

Xiao Chenye in the back courtyard corner was showering, on hearing this, he put on pants, draped on a shirt and came out.

In the midst of chaos, Wen Ran caught a glance.

Bronzed skin, broad shoulders, narrow waist, eight-pack abs.

His hair was still wet, dripping water, gazing at Li Chenggang deeply, "What did you just say?"

Seeing Xiao Chenye, Li Chenggang remembered the beating he took three years ago and shuddered, stuttering, "Xiao Chenye! You dare! I’m your brother-in-law! If you lay hands on me, Chenyue won’t spare you!"

Xiao Chenye laughed, "Humph, what do you think you are?

Still my brother-in-law? Let me tell you, even if my father did something wrong, I’d give him a beating too!"

The confused Mr. Xiao: "?"

Li Chenggang gradually realized things weren’t going as he imagined, unable to resist softening his tone.

After all, Xiao Chenye was truly capable of beating people to death when he went crazy.

"Fifth brother, I, I know what my mom did was wrong this time, but let’s put ourselves in each other’s shoes!"

He tried persuading Xiao Chenye, "If your wife gives you a daughter one day, you’d also be anxious, wouldn’t you?"

Xiao Chenye took a moment to imagine, if he had a daughter treated like this...

His father.

Rage directly up! up! multiplier growth, "I’ll never put myself in your father’s shoes!"

A punch landed, sending the skinny Li Chenggang sprawling on the ground, unable to get up. Xiao Chenye’s eyes turned red, grabbing Li Chenggang’s collar, threatening coldly, "Don’t apply your animal thoughts to me!

If I had a wife, I’d definitely cherish and protect her dearly, what’s wrong with having a daughter? She’d still be the apple of my eye!

Looking down on women so much, go home and choke your despicable mom to death first."

Li Chenggang was full of terror, "You uncouth brute, I want to speak to Chenyue."

He shouted, "Chenyue! Xiao Chenyue, if you don’t come out now, you can forget about entering my house ever again."

Mrs. Xiao took small steps forward, giving him a slap, "I spit, shameless thing, you really think your house is someplace good!

A lair of tigers and wolves, even begging my daughter wouldn’t make her return."

"Creak~"

The door opened, Xiao Chenyue leaning against the door frame, looking pale.

Li Chenggang’s glasses were shattered, thinking Xiao Chenyue would relent, laughed out loud.

"What use is your eloquence? Xiao Chenyue married me, in life she’s my family’s person, in death she’s my family’s ghost."

Mrs. Xiao hurried over to support her, "Xiao Yue, why did you get up?"

Xiao Chenyue smiled and shook her head, "Mom, don’t worry, I’m fine. Li Chenggang and I need to settle things, leave it to me."
