"Auntie Shasha, Xuxu likes these shrimps the most! Xuxu will share one with you!"
"Auntie Zhenzhen, these eggs are so delicious! You should eat more!"
"Auntie Ruru, Xuxu likes the little guitar you gave. Can Xuxu give you a small pudding as a gift too?"
At the dinner table, Yuan Xiaoxu was extremely busy. He kept greeting one guest after another. He seemed to have mastered the art of hosting guests without any instruction. His ingratiating little manner amused everyone.
Dai Sha said, "Xuxu will surely become a remarkable person in the future! I've never seen a three-and-a-half-year-old child as smart as him. My relative's child is about the same age, but every time there are guests, he hides in his room, as if he's afraid we'll eat him up."
Huang Zhenzhen also praised Yuan Xiaoxuan, "Xiaoxuan is no slouch either. He has a maturity beyond his age and acts like a real big brother."
Hearing others praise and dote on her children without reservation, Xu Zixi beamed with joy.
They didn't know that if things had followed the previous trajectory, one of these two kids would become a powerful villain straddling the black and white worlds, and the other would become a terrifying drug maker. They were truly remarkable figures.
But that was all in the past. Now with her intervention, she was determined to rewrite their doomed tragic fates. One day, she would make them top talents admired and worshipped by everyone! As for the original female and male leads who had caused their downfall? Well, they could just go back where they came from!
After dinner, they took a break to digest. Then, as previously agreed, Xu Zixi found an open space at home and taught Dai Sha and the other two the basic self-defense techniques.
The two kids had been learning from Xu Zixi for some time and had made some progress. Xu Zixi asked them to demonstrate.
"The physical structures of men and women determine the natural disparity in strength. But you must remember that there are several vulnerable parts of the human body, which are the breakthrough points for attacks. They are the chest, neck, wrist, temple, and... cough, this part." Xu Zixi gestured at a certain place.
"Now I'll teach you how to deal with attacks under various circumstances. Take Dai Sha as an example. If someone is following you and then restrains your movement, what should you do?"
On the soft mat, Yuan Xiaoxu pounced on Yuan Xiaoxuan from behind. He hooked Yuan Xiaoxuan's neck from the back, but Yuan Xiaoxuan grabbed his arm, leaned forward, and threw Yuan Xiaoxu to the ground from behind.
But since the two kids had chubby arms and legs, when they did these actions, it was like two white dumplings rolling on the ground.
Dai Sha... Dai Sha felt her heart being struck again. She covered her chest and said to Xu Zixi, "Yuan Xi, I'm sure you didn't invite us here to learn self-defense today. You're just showing off your kids. How did you raise them to be so cute? I really want to go out and grab a man to get married and have kids right now!"
Xu Zixi poked her head with a smile and said, "Do you think raising kids is that easy?"
In the end, Xu Zixi had no choice but to call Brother Hu up and ask him to play the role of the "villain". She would demonstrate it to the three of them in person.
"Ouch!"
"Ah!"
"Ow!"
At first, Brother Hu was eager to try. But when he was thrown to the ground again and again by Dai Sha, Huang Zhenzhen, and Zhou Yaru in various postures, he felt as if his whole body was falling apart, which made him doubt his life.
He had been tortured by Yan Yincheng just two days ago, and now he was being used as a punching bag. He felt aggrieved but couldn't say a word. Wuwuwu.
Around ten o'clock, Xu Zixi asked Brother Hu to take the three of them home separately. Zhou Yaru lived far away, so she was the last one to be sent back. When she got out of the car and was about to enter the house, Hu Yuankang called her.
"I'll definitely return your comic. But I also have to warn you. The young lady is kind enough to treat you as a friend. I hope you won't do anything to let her down. If I find out that you betray her, I won't let you off easily!"
After saying that, he gestured at his neck with his hand.
Zhou Yaru: "??? Huh?" What was he talking about? What did it mean to let the young lady down? What betrayal? She didn't understand!
Seeing her looking blank, Brother Hu snorted in his heart. Stop pretending. Sooner or later, I'll expose your true colors!
After Zhou Yaru met his gaze, she belatedly thought. Could this be another suitor of Yuan Xi? Mr. Yan, you have so many competitors!
She put her hands on her hips and said fiercely, "I'd like to remind you too! Yuan Xi is beautiful and capable, and her two kids are so cute. You're not the kind of person who can have any thoughts about her! I advise you to just be a good driver and give up this idea as soon as possible!"
The two stared at each other through the car door. Finally, they both snorted. Zhou Yaru went into the house, while Hu Yuankang stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
As night deepened in Fengcheng.
At the door of the bustling "Yessir (Night)" club, a balding, greasy, and overweight man walked out with a woman in his arms. He eagerly kissed the woman on the face, and the woman half-heartedly pushed him away. Then they got into a car and headed straight for a nearby hotel.
After entering the room, their entangled figures headed straight for the big bed. The man seemed extremely impatient. He quickly tore off the woman's clothes. The woman wanted to pretend to resist a bit, but unexpectedly, the man suddenly changed his attitude. He twisted his face and slapped the woman across the face. The woman was stunned by the sudden slap. When she came to her senses, she frowned and tried to push the man away, but she didn't know that this was just the beginning of her nightmare.
Slaps and punches rained down on her mercilessly. In a few moments, the woman was beaten to the brink of death. Just as he was about to enjoy his "masterpiece", the hotel door was suddenly kicked open. Several strong men in black rushed in and immediately pinned him down without saying a word.
"Who are you? What do you want?!"
The man's face changed. Then he showed a look of panic. He struggled desperately and shouted at the top of his voice, but the next second, something was stuffed into his mouth, silencing him. Then his vision went dark as someone put something over his head, and his body was tightly tied up.
The man was taken out of the room and put into a car. On the way, if he struggled even a little or made a slight sound, he would be beaten violently. In the end, he had to bite down hard on the smelly and disgusting thing in his mouth to stop himself from howling. But the bumpy ride made the fear in the man's heart grow little by little.
Who were they? Where were they taking him? Had he offended someone in the underworld? Was he going to be killed to silence him?
After an unknown amount of time, the car stopped bumping. The man was roughly dragged out of the car and pushed into a room filled with the scent of pine incense. His knees hurt, and he knelt on the ground in a sorry state. The black cloth on his head was pulled off, and he felt a sharp pain in his scalp as someone grabbed his hair from behind and forced him to look up.
"Are you Guan Baocheng?"
