Qi Lan calmly withdrew his hand after hitting him. “Are you a dog?”
“All you can do is bark loudly!”
Just now, Cheng Huan had suddenly exploded, and even 0617 had been a little surprised. He hadn’t even had time to stop him before Qi Lan reacted so quickly.
Qi Du gave him a thumbs-up. “Nice, Qi Lan! You really made Little Uncle proud!”
He praised him sincerely, and Qi Lan accepted it openly without the slightest embarrassment. “Little Uncle, no need to be so polite.”
“I know. You grown-ups have rules about not fighting children. That’s fine; I can do it for you.”
0617 laughed as well. “Our Lanlan is amazing!”
After saying that, he also patted Xu Yangxia’s head. “Little Treasure, don’t cry. Big Brother got revenge for you. We’re not afraid.”
Qi Du glanced at the school’s teacher and principal. “I won’t bother assessing your school’s educational methods. You know how to handle the rest, right? I’ll take the children and leave first.”
He didn’t want to waste time here. Cheng Huan had just transferred here, and if he made things difficult for the teacher and principal, there probably wouldn’t be anyone who could control him.
Not to mention making him apologize.
The other parent wasn’t here. It was truly hard for the two grown men to lay a hand on a seven-year-old child here. Even though, deep down, they really wanted to kill that little brat, their status was what it was. If they were going to do it, they had to do it where no one could see.
Otherwise, if word got out, Qi Du’s reputation would not sound good either.
That little bastard Cheng Huan was stunned by the beating. After he came to his senses, he wanted to attack Qi Lan again, but Qi Lan directly grabbed his wrist and threw him over his shoulder.
He had trained his body since childhood and never neglected his martial arts. As long as he didn’t let his emotions get the better of him and stayed calm, beating up peers was absolutely no problem.
Cheng Huan had never suffered a setback in his life. He immediately started struggling. The teacher in the office hurried over to separate the two fighting children and ended up taking a few hits himself.
Qi Lan was not the kind of person to swallow a loss. They had already been about to leave, and only then did Cheng Huan get the chance to push him. Otherwise, Qi Lan would never have let him succeed.
Now that the fight was over, he showed no intention of admitting fault. He went straight up and said, “Little Uncle, I hate him!”
Qi Du stood in front of him, his face already extremely dark. He reached out with one hand and firmly pinned Cheng Huan’s head, his voice low and terrifying. “Apologize to my son.”
“If you don’t apologize, I can also make sure you have no parents, make your whole family go begging, make you get out of the big house you’re living in now, go hungry, wear clothes that don’t keep you warm, and then send you…”
“…to an orphanage to experience the warmth and coldness of human relations.”
“Your mom taught you too little. She only keeps her eyes on my son. Doesn’t she know there are plenty of perverts in this social circle? By then, nobody will be able to save you.”
“The world is far more terrifying than you imagine. If you dare not listen to me, go ahead and try.”
His words were chilling, and his expression was murderous. He really looked comparable to some terrorists who had just been released.
Not only was Cheng Huan scared stiff, even the teacher and assistant beside him were trembling and too afraid to make a sound.
They were afraid that if Qi Du glanced up, knives would fly straight out of his eyes and slice them all to death.
0617 had originally not really approved of Qi Du using such vicious words to scare people, but then he thought about what the Cheng family had taught their son.
Cheng Huan himself wasn’t any good either… completely a spoiled brat. So why sympathize with him?
Just because he’s young, does that mean he can do whatever he wants?
It’s truly impossible to be a saint about someone like that.
Earlier, hearing those words made Little Treasure tremble with anger; he had wanted to strike immediately. Qi Du only said a few words in retaliation, and that was already letting him off easy.
Qi Du finished speaking and abruptly patted Cheng Huan’s frightened little face. “I’ll say it one more time: apologize to my son.”
“If you don’t say it today, you won’t get another chance to say it later.”
Cheng Huan was so frightened that he burst into loud sobs, tears streaming down his face, looking far more miserable than Xu Yangxia.
Qi Du had no sympathy for him at all and barked again, “Apologize!”
Terrified and shaking, Cheng Huan finally forced out the words “I’m sorry” in a broken stammer, and only then did Qi Du take the others and leave.
After getting in the car, he didn’t forget to check on Little Treasure’s emotions.
Since 0617 and Qi Du had arrived, Xu Yangxia had been crying with grievance the whole time, tears falling. His personality still hadn’t been corrected; the Xu family parents’ way of handling things before must have also been gentle, and on top of being constantly oppressed by that little bully Cheng Huan, he probably hadn’t even thought of fighting back boldly.
Being able to step in and protect Qi Lan by pushing him when Cheng Huan targeted him today was already a huge improvement.
So Qi Du and 0617 didn’t criticize him at all. Instead, they praised Little Treasure for doing very well.
Xu Yangxia had experienced quite a lot today. He was utterly frightened and uneasy. Held gently in 0617’s arms, he whispered, “I don’t want to marry him…”
“But he said it was set by my parents. Qiqi, what should I do? QAQ”
His parents had already passed away, so there was no way to verify it.
But Qi Du and 0617 patiently analyzed it for him. “He’s lying to you.”
“Your parents love Little Treasure so much. They would never marry Little Treasure off to such an uncouth child.”
“You’re still young. You don’t need to think about these things yet. If those little boys say something like that to you, it’s rude and they want to take advantage of you. You have to slap them hard!”
“You are yourself. You are Daddy and Qiqi’s very important sweetheart. We love you, and we won’t make you sad or do anything to belittle you. Do you understand?”
Xu Yangxia cried and wiped away his tears. Whether he understood or not, he nodded first.
After a while, he said a little fearfully, “Daddy, I don’t want to see Cheng Huan anymore. Can I stop going to school?”
He was crying as he spoke, a bit useless, but Qi Du didn’t laugh at him. He pointed at Qi Lan, who was sitting quietly nearby. “Then you don’t want Big Brother anymore?”
“Just now you were praising yourself for being brave, saying you stepped up for Big Brother. And now you’re scared?”
“Who was Big Brother protecting? Who was he hurt for?”
“He didn’t even cry. Do you really want to leave Big Brother alone at school to be bullied?”
Qi Lan silently rolled his eyes at his Little Uncle, thinking, “What bullying could I suffer?” But since he was coaxing little brother, he forced himself not to speak.
Only then did Xu Yangxia remember Qi Lan. The tears that had stopped were hanging on his long eyelashes, his eyes watery, big, and bright. When he looked at you in that dazed, adorable way, he seemed especially pitiful and cute.
Qi Lan’s heart softened. “Xiaxia, come over here to Big Brother.”
He waved, and Xu Yangxia climbed out of 0617’s arms, moved a little closer to Qi Lan, sniffled, and asked, “Brother, does it hurt?”
Qi Lan shook his head. “It doesn’t hurt.”
“Xiaxia, you need to study hard. Only by learning more can you enrich yourself, become stronger, and not be bullied by others.”
