"Xiao Yan? He dare hit you?" After all, as his own younger brother, Xiao Yu couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
"Yes! Xiao Yan is such a scumbag. Over the years, though Xiao Yan has lost his strength, his character is still twisted. If you don't believe me, ask around. Everyone knows Xiao Yan is no good now; even the Clan Leader is disappointed in him. Just a few days ago, he beat up Xiao Yan!"
"And then, Xiao Yan, unable to swallow the insult, took out his anger on us," Xiao Ning intentionally twisted the truth, exaggerating the story.
He now hated Xiao Yan to the extreme. What right did that trash Xiao Yan have to hit him?
Xiao Yan was only fit to be beaten up!
Now that his sister had returned, in a few days Xu Ran would become his brother-in-law, and maybe with Xu Ran's help, he could become super powerful. Then, Xiao Yan would be nothing in front of him.
Once he became stronger, he'd definitely give Xiao Yan a slap across the face, to teach Xiao Yan a lesson in how to be a person!
Even though his own talent was somewhat lacking, he had people backing him up!
Xiao Yan's room.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Ning barged in fiercely.
"Xiao Yan, your days are numbered," Xiao Ning said arrogantly.
"Xiao Yu, you're back?" Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yu in surprise, greed flashing in his eyes, especially since Xiao Yu was wearing shorts, displaying her impressive long legs.
Not to mention anything else, those impressive long legs alone could make countless girls feel ashamed.
Those legs could really be enjoyed for years.
So white and so long.
"Xiao Yan, what's this I hear about you bullying my little brother?" Xiao Yu asked indifferently as she looked at Xiao Yan. On the way here, she had heard about Xiao Yan's behavior, which she found rather distasteful.
She had never imagined Xiao Yan could turn out like this.
Especially upon hearing that Uncle Xiao Zhan in Xi'an had repeatedly whipped Xiao Yan, she found it even more repellent.
Uncle Xiao Zhan was known for how much he doted on Xiao Yan; she was very aware of that. Even Uncle Xiao Zhan being disappointed in Xiao Yan proved that Xiao Yan must have done many intolerable things.
Moreover, Xun Er used to be very close to Xiao Yan, and now that Xun Er had also left, this further proved it.
Originally, she was secretly happy for Xiao Yan upon learning that his talent had returned. But she never expected Xiao Yan to become like this, which was a huge disappointment to her.
"Xiao Ning? He brought it upon himself!" Xiao Yan said indifferently. He was feeling very annoyed. Was Xiao Yu also here to cause trouble for him?
Why did everyone have to be against him?
"Brought it upon himself? So, you think you can bully my little brother and get away with it?" Xiao Yu's pretty face flushed with anger; she never thought Xiao Yan's attitude could be so vile.
"Bullying? You make it sound as if I'm in the wrong," said Xiao Yan indifferently, not even deigning to argue anymore.
When he became powerful again, he would pay them back in their own coin.
"Since you've admitted it, I won't be polite," Xiao Yu said.
Xiao Yu extended her hand and gave Xiao Yan a fierce slap on the cheek.
She had originally only wanted Xiao Yan to apologize, but with Xiao Yan's tone being so rude, she felt no need to be overly lenient with him.
"Xiao Yu, you wait!"
Xiao Yan glared at Xiao Yu with red eyes, his fists clenched tightly.
"You will regret this," Xiao Yan continued.
It was the first time he had ever been hit by a woman.
```
But I'm no match for Xiao Yu, who hails from Canaan Academy and is far stronger than me.
"Xiao Yan, reflect on this properly. With your talent, you're sure to have your day." Xiao Yu also felt a pang of guilt, thinking her recent action was too excessive, but Xiao Yan's tone was truly infuriating.
Thinking of Xiao Yan's talent, Xiao Yu still spoke up to remind him.
Xiao Yan was the Xiao family's prodigy, and if he were to grow stronger, it would be a great boon for the family.
"Humph!"
"I don't need any reminders from you, I can do just fine on my own. But you, on the other hand, may not." Xiao Yan's gaze roamed over Xiao Yu's beautiful legs, filled with intense desire.
He had never seen such attractive legs, clad in shorts, even more slender and tempting. And above, Xiao Yu's slender waist and proud bosom, along with her stunning face, stirred something in him.
If Xiao Yu treated him like this, she was definitely going to face retribution!
When the time came, no matter how desperately Xiao Yu begged him, he wouldn't care.
Even if Xiao Yu knelt and pleaded, he would show no mercy!
Since Xiao Yu had treated him this way, she deserved the harshest punishment in the world!
"Xiao Yan, from now on, when you see this young master, walk around. Got it? I'm not someone you can afford to mess with!" Xiao Ning said proudly. Seeing Xiao Yu slap Xiao Yan, Xiao Ning was instantly riled up.
He wished that slap had been from his own hand.
But now he had to act well-behaved in front of Xiao Yu, as he still wanted to bring her and Xu Ran together. Naturally, he couldn't let his sister have a poor impression of him.
"Let's go." Xiao Yu left, disappointed.
"Sis, didn't I tell you? Xiao Yan is a loser now," Xiao Ning sidled up to Xiao Yu and said.
"And the way Xiao Yan was looking at you just now, it felt off to me. Be careful around him, sis, I'm afraid he might seek revenge," Xiao Ning warned her. As a man, he knew exactly what that look from Xiao Yan meant.
It was the look of a man's greed for a woman!
And it was extremely indecent!
"She's no match for me," Xiao Yu shook her head, not taking Xiao Yan seriously. Her years at Canaan Academy were not spent in vain.
"Exactly... Sis, why don't I take you to meet Brother Ran now? You'll definitely like him once you meet," Xiao Ning changed the subject back to Xu Ran. Heaven knows how much he wanted Xu Ran to become his brother-in-law.
Seeing Nalan Yanran and Xiao Mei suddenly become so prominent, he naturally felt envious.
And just then, Xu Ran happened to walk by them from the front.
Xiao Ning was stunned; he hadn't expected to bump into Xu Ran like this.
But after all, the Xiao family territory wasn't large, so it wasn't strange to come across each other.
"This is..." Xiao Yu lifted her head to look at Xu Ran, her eyes widening.
Xu Ran's appearance and demeanor were exceptional. To Xiao Yu, even the few outstanding people in Canaan Academy couldn't match Xu Ran's excellence. At least superficially, there was hardly anyone who could compare to Xu Ran.
That alone made Xiao Yu feel a certain fondness for Xu Ran.
After all, any affection starts with physical attraction.
"Brother, Brother Ran..." Xiao Ning greeted Xu Ran, stumbling over his words.
"Sis, this is that Xu Ran I told you about," Xiao Ning cautiously murmured into Xiao Yu's ear.
"Ah?" Xiao Yu's pretty face turned red.
"That, don't listen to his nonsense, I, I..." Xiao Yu said with a blushing face, looking at Xu Ran, utterly embarrassed. She wished she could beat Xiao Ning up for being so indiscreet. What would they do now that he had overheard?
