Chapter 1315: The Young Master is Cool and Domineering
"This is..." Huo Yan raised his hand with concern, but Mu Ning avoided it without touching the injury.
"He hit me!" Mu Ning shouted.
Zhuang Shijue was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Sister-in-law, I'm just saying hello. Do you have to take it so seriously?"
Mu Ning put on a sullen face and looked at Zhuang Shijue with a sidelong glance, her dissatisfaction evident in her eyes.
When Zhuang Shijue glanced at her sideways, he found that the girl had a pretty face, especially her eyes, which were charming and seductive.
No wonder, to be able to hook up with his serious eldest brother, there must be something special about him.
Huo Yan and Shiqi looked at Zhuang Shijue, and Huo Yan whispered, "Shijue, come here."
Zhuang Shijue walked towards his mother pointlessly, "My son is here, mother, please tell me..."
He was still mumbling when Huo Yan's slap landed on his face. How many years had it been since Zhuang Shijue was beaten? In just a short while, he was actually hit in the face by two women. Getting hit by countless bullets and boards wouldn't matter, but getting slapped in the face was something else entirely.
Zhuang Shijue's face turned red and black at that moment. Huo Yan said angrily, "This is the Zhuang family, not your playhouse! What right do you have to bully others at will? Whose power do you rely on to be so arrogant and domineering? Your father and I couldn't teach you well. We hoped that you would learn some etiquette in the army, but now you are even worse, right? Bullying your own family, are you still a man? A man of the Zhuang family is not a capable person just because he uses a little cleverness and says a few nice words. If you want to show off your power, you should show your ability and achievements. Being a jerk is what the lowest of people do!"
Zhuang Shijue lowered his head slightly, with the right corner of his mouth raised habitually, with great sarcasm and sneer.
Huo Yan looked at his son's behavior with a cold face, and his anger was still lingering in his heart. He grabbed Zhuang Laoya's clothes and pushed him in front of Mu Ning.
"Apologize to your sister-in-law!" Huo Yan said angrily.
Zhuang Shijue still looked nonchalant. He turned to face Mu Ning, the upturned curve of the right corner of his mouth deepened. He looked at Mu Ning meaningfully, then glanced sideways and looked at Mu Ning again.
Mrs. Mu was frightened by Zhuang Shijue's ambiguous smile and stepped back subconsciously.
This man, the second young master of the Zhuang family, she couldn't afford to offend. Zhuang Shiyuan was her only supporter, but her supporter was still asleep and couldn't help him at all, so she should avoid making enemies.
Huo Yan pinched his youngest son's arm hard. It was winter, and no matter how little the youngest Zhuang was wearing, the pinch would not be as strong as if he had pinched him shirtless on a hot day, so Huo Yan really used all his strength.
"Weren't you very poor just now? Now you're mute again?" Huo Yan scolded angrily.
Zhuang Shijue laughed silently, looked up at the sky which was somewhat bright, probably trying to endure it, then looked at Mu Ning and suddenly bowed seriously.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law. I, the youngest, was born with this bad character. If I accidentally bumped into you just now, please forgive me and don't take it to heart." Zhuang Shijue said this in a casual manner. It sounded like he was full of sarcasm. His tone was lazy. There was no threat in his words, but they made sister-in-law Mu shudder.
Huo Yan seemed dissatisfied with his son's attitude of admitting his fault. He said sullenly, "You have to be sincere in your apology. You're already an adult, do you still want to be beaten?"
In the Zhuang family, the youngest Zhuang child only listened to his mother. His father had a bad temper. If he didn't listen once, he would give him a chance to correct himself. But if he did it again, he would beat him to death. How many times had Zhuang the youngest Zhuang child been beaten to death by his father since he was a child?
But the young man from the bank refused to listen to his father. He continued to do whatever he wanted, regardless of the consequences. He'd beaten him half to death countless times by his father. The last time he got beaten was when he organized a gang of students who frequently skipped classes and climbed over the walls, specifically to uphold justice. Then, when the gang ran into real gang members, they attacked them with knives, and that was a real fight, not just a show of force like these students who didn't learn martial arts.
When they were calling each other brothers, everyone responded to their call, but when it came to the real fight, everyone retreated. Zhuang Shijue had to go up alone, but he was beaten and almost lost his life.
Mr. Zhuang was also cruel. After hearing that his son was in trouble, he simply threw his youngest son to the hospital and walked away. He left behind the words that the Zhuang family still had a son and didn't need him. If you wanted to commit suicide, you don't need to notify your family.
While the youngest Zhuang was recovering from his injuries, the third master Zhuang refused to allow anyone to visit him. He stayed in the hospital for about two or three months, and before he was fully recovered, he was taken to the army.
This young man also escaped twice, and the result of joining the army was that he was caught and beaten extremely badly.
Later he became obedient and has been in the army for two years now. With his uncle's "attention", Zhuang Laoyao's training has never stopped. Other recruits have time for vacation, but he doesn't. This is enough to show that the organization values him.
After Huo Yan's angry shout, Mu Ning looked straight at Huo Yan. She had seen Shiyuan's mother's attitude towards Zhuang Shiyuan, which was completely different from the one in front of her. Could it be that he was not her biological son?
When Zhuang Shijue cast a half-smiley look at her, Mu Ning subconsciously took another step back and said stiffly, "It's okay."
Zhuang Shijue immediately spread his hands, "See," Zhuang Shijue leaned over to his mother and put his arms around her neck, "Sister-in-law is so considerate, mother. Since the person involved wants to let the matter go, you don't have to speculate anymore. Otherwise, people will think I was a gift from you in the lottery. Mother, you are my biological mother!"
Huo Yan raised his hand and slapped the back of Zhuang Shijue's hand in annoyance, "Let go of me, you have no respect for your parents!"
As Huo Yan spoke, a helpless smile appeared on his face. Mu Ning was standing not far away, so of course she could clearly see the love on Shi Yuan's mother's face.
Even though Shiyuan's mother was so harsh on the youngest, scolding and beating him, she actually preferred the youngest. In families with multiple children, the youngest is often the most beloved.
The group entered the garden. Huo Yan took Mu Ning to introduce her to several relatives of the Zhuang family, and then asked the kitchen to prepare dinner for Mu Ning alone. After eating alone, Mu Ning went to the hospital first.
Huo Yan wanted to accompany her son on such an important holiday, but she was the third wife of the Zhuang family. How could she leave when the Zhuang family hosted a family banquet?
Mu Ning arrived at the hospital, ran upstairs quickly, entered the ward, and then lay down beside Zhuang Shiyuan's bed. She held Zhuang Shiyuan's hand with her cold hand and smiled foolishly.
"Haha, I'm just lending you some warmth. It's really, really cold outside. Your family's New Year's celebration is so lively, with so many people, it's like a birthday. The hall is also piled high with gifts."
