Chapter 1265 - 162, Bridal Gift
Not to mention Su Tianrui, even Xia Zheng had never seen Xia Yuan like this. He clearly wanted to interact with the officials but just didn’t know what to say.
This awkward and helpless appearance was probably only seen when he got married himself.
"Ha ha, your dad is really too funny, I don’t know why he—ouch, my ear!" Su Tianrui hadn’t finished his sentence when he felt someone harshly pulling on his ear, causing him such pain that he almost burst into tears.
Xia Zheng’s eyes widened, and his first reaction was to run away, but his legs weren’t as fast as Xia Yuan’s hands!
"Ouch, my ear!"
Different voices, same pig-slaughtering tone. Xia Zheng covered his ears and grimaced at his dad, who looked grim but also clearly a bit excited, stubbornly refusing to beg for mercy.
Xia Yuan hummed twice, grabbing an ear of each person and dragging them into the hall. He didn’t care that among the male guests were Su Tianrui’s father and older brother. Without any mercy, he sternly reprimanded them, "You little brats! Disrespecting your elders one by one! Daring to talk behind my back? Huh?"
Su Tianrui had been as close as brothers with Xia Zheng since childhood, bright yet not as sly and cunning as his old man, so Xia Yuan had long considered him almost a son.
When he scolded him, even Su Zhe didn’t intervene, as if the person being scolded wasn’t his son at all.
Born defiant, especially against his own father, Xia Zheng would never beg for mercy. But Su Tianrui was different, immediately putting on a pained smile and starting to plead for forgiveness.
Xia Yuan narrowed his eyes, loosening his grip with one hand and tightening with the other, causing Xia Zheng’s frown to deepen.
