Chapter 421 “Gatekeeper (2)”
“Do you know your mistakes now?”
Shuddering all over, Wang Xiaopeng was acting exactly like his old man and lowered his head with unease plastered all over his existence: “I… I know my wrong.”
“It’s good that you know your mistake.” Indifferent in his old face, the senior’s voice sounded faint and calm, yet the words were piercingly sharp: “If the same mistake is made again in the future, I will forever oust you from the Wang family’s lineage book!”
Because of how the chubby was acting, totally different from his lively self from the past, Bai Xiachen’s heart definitely didn’t take it well. It’s painful and making him uncomfortable.
“Xiaopeng.” Pursing his lip, the baby boy attempts to comfort his friend by patting the chubby’s shoulder.
“Father, we are only allowing Second Brother’s family to return, why is there an unfamiliar woman and a strange child as well? What, does he intend to bring in strangers too?” The shady voice originated from the middle-aged man next to the senior.
Naturally Wang Deqiu wouldn’t be new to this sort of treatment because it was this very bastard and his group who set him and his son up back then.
New and old hatred collide, his eyes instantly went red while those teethes gnashed together in anger: “Old Three, it’s been a while!”
Sneering with irony in his voice, this third son of the current chief was called Wang Deyi. “Second Brother, don’t tell me this woman is your….”
Little lover?
But before the last part of that sentence could finish, Wang Deqiu had already roared out to cut this menace off.
“Keep that tongue of yours clean, Miss Bai Yan here is not someone you can offend. If not for her, our Wang family wouldn’t have even gotten our hands on so much high-quality Dan pills!”
Sure enough, that outcry instantly causes the third brother to stumble in his next remark. Those eyes were clearly filled with disbelief.
It’s not that Wang Deyi didn’t know his second brother was being supplied by a woman, just that he never expected the alchemist to be such a young looking one. Based on his speculation, this lady should be no older than twenty years of age.
“Deqiu, she is that Bai Yan mentioned in your letters?” Glistening a faint spark in his old eyes, the elder began examining Bai Yan with sharpness in his gaze.
With his many years of experience, the current chief of the Wang family should be able to see through to a person’s strength using only a glance. But right now, he was shocked and petrified to find that he couldn’t….
“That’s right, she is the one from the letters I sent, and this is here is her son Bai Xiachen. It was thanks to my son’s good eyesight that we were able to befriend Miss Bai Yan and her son.” When saying this, Wang Deqiu’s smile was undoubtedly smug and filled with pride.
Didn’t all of you often look down at my son? Say he’s fat and stupidly untalented? Look now, see whose eyesight is better! He’s able to befriend such amazing people so stuff it!
Don’t assume just because this father would often berate and beat his chubby son that he wouldn’t care, in fact, he cared greatly. Take the insults for example. If it was anyone aside from himself, Wang Deqiu would fight the foe to the end just to get even!
“So already with a son…” From those insidious eyes of his, Wang Deyi (Third) revealed a touch of disappointment because he definitely had ulterior motives when hearing Bai Yan was a powerful alchemist.
However, he’s not going to touch a woman that’s already with a son now that the truth was out. And as if able to perceive that dirty intent, the senior also shot a warning glare over to his third son.
“Deqiu, why didn’t you inform us in advance that Miss Bai Yan was coming? How improper of us in not preparing a room. Hurry, someone go inside and ready the biggest room we have!” The elder immediately became all friendly and cheerful, completely different from before.
