Chapter 372: Aren’t You Afraid Of My Grandfather’s Revenge?

After having followed Sheng Xiao around for years, Jing Yun naturally caught on to Xu Yihong’s intention of hurting him in his words.

Look at the production line? It was no more than an excuse to hurt him physically, because he could not think of what else Xu Yihong could do to him at such a place.

If it turned out to be true and Xu Yihong had such malice in mind, Jing Yun was not going to hold back, and settle the score of many years with him.

As for the trap that Xu Yihong would set, Jing Yun could only adapt to the situation.

Nonetheless, the reunion event had been a happy and smooth one.

And since Old Sheng was an in-law to the Xu family now, he decided he would only go home after the whole event was over.

Through it all, there was no lack of guests, coming to him to praise Sheng Xiao.

However, he would always retort, “It’s a pity that the child is naughty and can’t stop himself from running off, even throwing away his CEO seat at Huang Yao. As an elder, what else can I do other than grant his wish?”

In other words, Old Sheng was saying that Sheng Xiao no longer had anything to do with Huang Yao.

“He’s young. Young people always make mistakes.”

“That’s true, but he has left the family. From now on, don’t be gracious when you come across that brat… teach him a lesson in my stead.”

Did that mean the Sheng family was really disowning their Crown Prince?

“Since that is your word, Old Sheng, I’ll naturally do as you say.”

Sheng Xiao had always strutted across Jianchuan with no one daring to touch him. Now that he had left Huang Yao, did that mean the heir of the company would change as well?

Perhaps Old Sheng was really unhappy with his grandson.

He would rather have his woman than a great mountain of wealth.

The old man was probably finding his grandson useless, and so decided not to entertain him.

The news was blown out of proportion when it eventually spread.

As the saying goes, fortune only ever changes hands—was the Crown Prince really going to be reduced to a nameless pawn, allowing everyone else to walk all over him?

Nonetheless, it was not just the Xu family’s manor having a lively time tonight—something was happening over at the Lu family too.

At present, Lin Mu’an was really playing the role of Lu Qianqian’s bodyguard, following her around no matter what she did.

And that left Old Lin in utter humiliation.

The grandson of the Lin family was actually at some second hand good’s beck and call. No sense of honor at all!

Unable to bear with that very thought, the old man decided to teach his impudent ingrate of a grandson a lesson while trying to give that damaged goods a scare.

At the moment, Lu Qianqian was just finished with her classes and left her lecturer’s private classroom with Lin Mu’an. But as they drove off to leave the campus, a black car suddenly crashed into them.

Lin Mu’an kept Lu Qianqian protected in his arms, and after checking that the crash was not too serious, he got out of the car and was about to argue with the other side.

He was therefore surprised to find four burly men promptly getting down as well, catching hold of him while growling fiercely, “You must have lived long enough, blocking our way…”

With the guilty party filing the lawsuit, Lin Mu’an promptly turned to Lu Qianqian. “Call the cops!”

However, the gang did not let Lin Mu’an space to react as all four men promptly punched out at him.

Shocked by what’s happening before her, Lu Qianqian promptly tried to call the police but was threatened by the gang. “I’ll kill him if you call in the police.”

Lu Qianqian quickly tried to calm them down. “What do you want? I could give you money, just don’t hurt him.”

“You think we lack that spare change?”

Even though Lin Mu’an was a cadet at the police academy and had learned self-defense, he was still up against four men.

They would slam him on the ground if he even moved, making it clear that they were not some two-bit thugs on the streets.

“Then what do you actually want?”

“I know this brat. He’s the young master of Lin family who dumped my sister before. Beating him up might help us vent a bit, and what could he do? Not even the Lin family wants him now.”

“But I’ve never even dated anyone before, so how could I dump your sister?” Lin Mu’an wiped the blood off his nose and smiled. “The old man of the Lin family must have sent you.”

The men did a double take, never expecting Lin Mu’an to expose them.

“I won’t fight back today since I couldn’t win against all of you now. But this is the first time a grandfather sending people to beat up his own grandson. It’s so moving.”

“Us beating you has nothing to do with the Lin family.”

“Why bother hiding? It’s so obvious when you came straight to me looking for trouble. He’s my grandfather anyway, I won’t fight back if he really wants to beat me.”

Unable to let things slide any longer, the thug freed Lin Mu’an. “Cut the crap. We’ll really beat you up the next time we see you.”

With that, the men rose and promptly strode away, and only then did Lu Qianqian came to Lin Mu’an, sobbing, but he pushed her away when she tried to help him up. “I’m bleeding. It’s dirty.”

“What do you mean, dirty? I don’t care.” Nonetheless, Lu Qianqian helped him up into the car. “Are you alright? Should I take you to the hospital?”

“I’ve failed as a bodyguard. I couldn’t protect you at all when it matters.” Lin Mu’an said, clutching his chest and having a hard to breathe, with his nose was all green and swollen.

“Are you sure that was your grandfather?”

“He just wants to teach me a lesson.” Lin Mu’an replied. “Seeing us together does more or less anger him. I get it.”

“How could such a grandfather exist?” Lu Qianqian really could not understand.

Lin Mu’an wiped the blood off his face helplessly. “He wants to intimidate you so that you won’t hang around with me too much. You have to drive now.”

“He shouldn’t attack you even if he wants to scare me.” Lu Qianqian really could not understand how a grandfather to do something so vicious to his own grandson.

“He probably couldn’t do anything.” Lin Mu’an’s look became distant—he could only hope that he was not provoking his grandfather even further. “But this is just a start. He would definitely come up with something so that I would beg him and willingly return to the family.”

“If you want somewhere to hide, my doors are always open to you.”

“Aren’t you afraid of my grandfather’s revenge?” Lin Mu’an asked Lu Qianqian, his eyes narrowing.

“My family is not made out of glass that would break upon touch. Moreover, you are all on your own now, and you are going to be left on the streets begging alms if you lose me too.”

With that, Lu Qianqian pressed a tissue on Lin Mu’an’s nose. “Rub it. I’ll take you to the hospital for a look.”

“There’s no need for that, really…”

“Does your word count or mine?” Lu Qianqian asked with a dangerous tone, folding her arms. “To do such a thing… Your grandfather must be a deviant in his last life.”

“Let him vent. Old people are old.” Lin Mu’an, however, was quite open-minded.

“Still joking around? Your grandfather is definitely going to do something even worse.”
