Chapter 1025 - Chapter 1025 Chapter 1024 Showing Off Strength
Chapter 1025: Chapter 1024: Showing Off Strength Chapter 1025: Chapter 1024: Showing Off Strength “Auntie, Uncle is here!” Fu Xinwu exclaimed excitedly, grabbing Nan Fei by the arm, “I never expected Uncle to be dining at the Royal Palace too, what a coincidence.”
Nan Fei abruptly snapped back to reality, slowly revealing a radiant smile as brilliant as spring flowers towards Huo Beijiang, who stood at the staircase entrance.
“Bei Jiang, someone bullied me,” she said softly, the first time she had ever lodged a complaint so openly and confidently.
She remembered how Bei Jiang used to mock her for not knowing how to tattle, not giving men a chance to show off. She just knew how to go headfirst into trouble.
It felt really good to be able to tattle.
Nan Fei gazed at Huo Beijiang, her smile growing even sweeter.
Listening to his wife’s melodious voice, Huo Beijiang’s icy expression relaxed, a gentle smile slowly spreading across his handsome face. He swiftly descended the stairs, his tall figure seeming to bring the wind with it.
He approached Zhou Xiang and the others with the most formidable demeanor.
“Wife, just wait on the side, and watch as I avenge you,” someone felt over the moon.
Huo Beijiang’s sharp intuition could guess someone’s innermost thoughts from the subtlest expressions, gazes, and words. His little wife clearly wanted to show closeness to him.
To make him feel at ease.
Such a good opportunity was not to be missed even by a fool.
“Okay!” Huo Beijiang, with a smile on his face, took Fu Xinwu to the side.
This was the first time in her two lifetimes that she played power-by-proxy! However, having someone back her up felt really good.
“Huo, Huo… Major General Huo?” Zhou Xiang watched Huo Beijiang in horror, utterly shocked, never imagining that someone from a rural village could have a connection with Huo Beijiang.
“What… what are you going to do?”
Under Huo Beijiang’s icy gaze, Zhou Xiang unconsciously stepped back, hiding behind her cousin.
“Apologize!” Huo Beijiang didn’t even bother to look at Zhou Xiang.
He had seen foolish people, but never anyone this foolish.
Such a person had been mixing in the Imperial City, the Zhou Family really had guts. They weren’t afraid of offending everyone in the Imperial City.
“I… why should I…” Zhou Xiang’s words were abruptly cut off by her cousin who fiercely slapped her across the face, knocking her to the ground. She sat on the floor, unable to move for a long while.
She only felt a burst of metallic sweetness in her mouth, and when she wiped it with her hand, blood had already spilled from the corner of her mouth.
At that moment, the entire restaurant fell deathly silent. No sounds could be heard, not even careful breaths.
Everyone’s eyes were tightly fixed on Zhou Xiang on the ground; their gazes filled with disgust, contempt, and also schadenfreude and confusion.
Confused by how the Zhou Family could have someone so foolish.
