Chapter 279: Drive Away the Naughty Child

Chapter 279: Drive Away the Naughty Child

Today, Xie Yuan wore a silver-patterned white robe with a crimson and silver buckle belt around his waist. This attire was a stark departure from his usual style, yet it did not diminish his heroic aura but rather accentuated his cold and handsome appearance.

He managed to make the elegant white robes resemble a proud and resilient rime-covered tree standing tall in the icy wilderness, with the crimson belt fluttering like a ribbon, making him seem untouchably cold.

Su Youyue was momentarily entranced by his appearance.

Across from her, Lu Shuangshuang was equally captivated by the man's remarkable looks and presence. Her eyes almost glued themselves to him as she recalled the name Su Youyue had called out.

This is Lord Xie?!

Indeed, he is incredibly handsome and unparalleled!

Mesmerized by him, Lu Shuangshuang was lost in admiration, while Lu Xiaobao wasn't as fortunate. He was lifted high off the ground by the man, feeling extremely uncomfortable, kicking and struggling. "Where did you come from, you lowly servant? Let go of me!"

Su Youyue was startled by the commotion and quickly said, "Xie Yuan, are you healed already? Throw him away!"

It’s only been a few days, and he’s already up and about—doesn’t he care about his life?

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Yuan released his grip, causing Lu Xiaobao to fall on his bottom and burst into tears.

The child's crying was piercing, as if trying to drill into one's brain through their ears. His mouth opened wide, as if ready to devour someone.

Su Youyue couldn’t even have a proper conversation with Xie Yuan because of this noisy child. For the first time, she harbored an unpleasant thought—she wanted to beat this child and throw him out of the Su residence.

"Mama, waaah, that bad person is bullying me! Cousin is also bullying me, waaah!"

Just as Lu Xiaobao was crying, Xie Yuan’s fist suddenly cracked audibly.

The sound was so abrupt that it was impossible to miss.

Lu Xiaobao looked up and saw the man’s fist, which was half the size of his head. His open mouth instantly closed, and he scurried to Lu Shuangshuang’s side, glaring resentfully at Su Youyue and Xie Yuan.

"Get out of my house, all of you!"

Su Youyue couldn’t help but frown deeply.

"What did you say?"

She hadn’t forgotten that this was her house, how could it become his?

This naughty child from her relative’s family was truly testing her patience.

Lu Shuangshuang snapped back to reality, feeling extremely uneasy. She tried to pull Lu Xiaobao aside to silence him, but Lu Xiaobao, who hated Su Youyue, shouted, "My mother said I will be the young master of the Su residence from now on. All the money here belongs to me. You’re a woman, so you can’t inherit the family business. I’ll kick you out!"

As soon as Lu Xiaobao finished speaking, everyone present fell into an eerie silence.

But he didn’t notice and thought Su Youyue was afraid. He pointed at her arrogantly and said, "Now kneel down and bark like a dog three times for me, and I’ll give you some food. If you don’t obey, I’ll kick you out!"

After a long pause, Xie Yuan chuckled.

It seemed he found it amusing.

Since Xie Yuan’s arrival, Lu Shuangshuang had been very concerned about his opinion. Seeing his reaction, her heart tightened, knowing he was looking down on them. She immediately pulled Lu Xiaobao aside. "Xiaobao, what nonsense are you spouting? When did Mother ever say such things?"

Mother should know better than to talk about these things in front of a child like Xiaobao!

"Nuan Nuan, your relatives really... dream in broad daylight," Xie Yuan said, pausing before continuing.

Lu Shuangshuang, ridiculed by the man she admired, blushed fiercely, wishing she could hide in the cracks of the stone floor.

Lu Xiaobao didn’t understand the sarcasm but knew it wasn’t good. He cried and yelled, "Get out of my house!"

Just as he was about to open his mouth again, someone rushed over and slapped him across the face. Lu Xiaobao spun halfway before falling to the ground, sprawled like a dog.

"Father?!" Lu Shuangshuang was shocked to see her father.

When did Father arrive? Oh no!

Lu Sen was livid, his face turning purple-red, veins bulging on his forehead. Pointing at Lu Xiaobao on the ground, he trembled with rage. "You little brat, who taught you to say such things!"

Lu Xiaobao, dazed and seeing stars, felt a burning sensation on his face and tasted blood. He lay there motionless, disoriented.

Growing up, he had always pretended to be obedient in front of Lu Sen, mimicking Xiao Wangshi. He had never been hit before, and this slap stunned him.

But Lu Sen wasn’t done; he kicked Lu Xiaobao again. Su Zhenyun, who had followed them, rushed over to stop him. "Second Brother, Second Brother! Don’t hit the child!"

Though he was angry when he heard the child’s words earlier, he feared Lu Sen would kill the child in his rage. "He’s just a kid; don’t be so harsh!"

Lu Sen, known for his fierce temper and lack of restraint, could easily cripple the child with one kick. Su Zhenyun had to intervene.

Hearing someone stop him, Lu Xiaobao slowly came to his senses, spitting out a mouthful of blood and crying again, "Mama—"

"Brother-in-law, don’t stop me. This little brat must have learned this from someone. I won’t let him live if he dares to say such outrageous things today!"

Lu Sen clenched his iron-like fists, preparing to attack again.

Su Zhenyun, not as strong as Lu Sen, struggled to hold him back. Seeing himself about to be dragged down, Xie Yuan stepped forward, supporting Su Zhenyun with one hand and restraining Lu Sen with the other.

Lu Sen felt a heavy pressure on his shoulder, not painful but enough to prevent any movement. Initially unconcerned, he increased his strength twice but still couldn’t overcome the force. Finally, he turned around.

He saw a remarkably handsome and cold man. At first glance, his attention was drawn to the man’s face, not realizing his strength. But when he looked at the man’s physique, he felt inadequate.

Driven by a martial artist’s competitive spirit, Lu Sen secretly increased his strength, but the man remained composed, maintaining a force that Lu Sen couldn’t resist without discomfort.

Years of martial arts training made Lu Sen realize this man’s exceptional skill despite his youth.

Still hesitating, Su Youyue stepped forward to mediate. "Uncle, Lord Xie is still injured..."
