This scene happened so fast, this was the best reaction Xu Yanqing could do.
She didn't cover her face with her hands, letting her cheeks turn red.
"What are you doing!" Mr. Wu's voice sounded first.
Soon, there was the sound of Huo Xijing's footsteps approaching in a hurry.
He was such a patient person, but now his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of lingering anger. He walked up to Xu Yanqing and glanced at her face.
"Are you okay?"
Xu Yanqing looked unkind and glanced at him lightly, "Something's wrong."
Let him be slapped in public?
Huo Xijing suppressed all his anger and glared at the person in front of him with cold eyes, "Who asked you to come!"
Huo Jiao moved her fingers, but unfortunately, Xu Yanqing avoided most of the force.
"Little uncle, you used to take me with you when you came out, but now? You hang out with this Xu Yanqing every day... It's not like you don't know that it was her who caused me to be like this."
Huo Jiao couldn't even step into school these days, didn't she owe it all to Xu Yanqing?
"How dare you blame others for what you have done yourself?"
Huo Jiao saw more and more people gathering, and this was not the first time that she was indulgent and willful.
She even dared to cripple Ning Ruowen's hand. Is she still afraid of a reporter with no background?
"Little uncle, why are you protecting her? She is not worthy of you at all."
When Yu Zhi walked into the hall, his legs were a little stiff, perhaps because the slap Xu Yanqing received seemed to hit him in the heart.
She hurts, and so does he.
A sneer appeared on Xu Yanqing's lips, "Miss Huo's thinking is really strange. People with no background and no power have to be beaten and scolded by you, right?"
"Yes, don't you think you are inferior to others?"
"Huo Jiao!" Huo Xijing shouted angrily, "Get back here!"
Her little uncle was obviously angry, and the glasses that were placed on the bridge of his nose to hide his sharp eyes were trembling with his anger.
"Why is she inferior to others?" Mr. Wu walked over with a cane and the support of his grandson.
The old man had white hair, and the back of his hand holding the cane was covered with veins. "Xiao Huo, how come you have such a..."
Here comes the stuff.
Huo Jiao curled her lips in dissatisfaction and reluctantly shouted, "Grandpa Wu."
"You see that she is helpless, so you bully her?"
"This is not bullying, I just want her to stay away from my little uncle."
"Then why don't you do anything to your little uncle?"
A trace of warmth surged in Xu Yanqing's heart. She struggled all the way and there were too many people bullying her.
She only helped Mr. Wu once, but the old man was willing to protect her and help her again and again, even if he offended Yu Yi and the Huo family.
Xu Yanqing did not dare to accept other people's kindness with such peace of mind.
"Mr. Wu, don't worry, I will handle it myself."
"She is just relying on her background to bully you. So, you call me grandpa. Although I am old and don't have the ability to support the sky with one hand like the Yu family, I can still do it in Nanhuai City.
Well spoken."
Mr. Wu finished speaking in one breath, without even breathing, "It doesn't matter how many years I live, but I have many grandchildren, and your brothers and sisters can still protect you in the future."
The man holding Old Wu's arm was his beloved grandson.
"What grandpa said is that Miss Xu will be my sister from now on. If you need anything, just come to us."
Mr. Wu's words shocked all the guests present.
Yu Yi stood not far away, her fingernails almost digging into her flesh.
Jiang Yining also felt a little dissatisfied, "Don't Mr. Wu hate recognizing relatives the most? Many people wanted to be his goddaughter or goddaughter, but he rejected them all."
Yu Yi sighed with relief in her chest, and said with sarcasm, "This is what she is capable of, vixen."
"Mr. Wu..." Xu Yanqing shouted, but could no longer say the next words.
"Let's change the name."
Some people in the crowd couldn't see it and asked directly: "Mr. Wu, you have set some rules yourself. Now you say you won't count if you don't count?"
"As a person like me, my face has always been more important than my life. She saved the face of my Wu family, which is equivalent to my savior. I asked her to call me grandpa, and that's what I earned."
Xu Yanqing's pursed lips trembled slightly, and Mr. Wu chuckled, "Why don't you scream?"
She has been missing too much family ties for too long, and she only has a lonely mother and a daughter who can't always be by her side.
Xu Yanqing's eyes gradually narrowed, and tears burst out of her smile.
"grandfather."
Mr. Wu was very satisfied and tapped the ground with his crutch, "Since it was my granddaughter who was beaten, the beating cannot be in vain."
Huo Xi Jingyuan didn't want to care about Huo Jiao. He was also angry. If it weren't for the large number of people present, he would have wanted to slap her.
"She hit you, I'll hand her over to you."
Xu Yan was overwhelmed, but he didn't expect Huo Xijing to be willing to do so, "You want me to help you discipline her?"
"It's not impossible." At this time, Huo Xijing even asked for an advantage, "After all, she recognizes you as her little aunt."
This word reached Yu Zhi's ears impartially.
With so many eyes staring at him, Xu Yanqing actually didn't refute.
All she could think about now was how to fight back.
But everyone was watching. If Xu Yanqing's slap was swung out, it would inevitably be talked about. In their eyes, Huo Jiao was still a child.
At this time, Huo Jiao still wanted to provoke, "Fight, fight back."
No matter how angry Huo Xijing was, he would not be willing to do something to her. If Xu Yanqing dared, he would just fulfill her wish.
Xu Yanqing touched his cheek and smiled, "I won't hit you, how can I care about a child?"
"Stop pretending!" Huo Jiao brought her face closer. "Hit."
"Oh Jiaojiao, I forgive you."
Huo Jiao was disgusted by the sound of Jiaojiao and felt uncomfortable all over. "Who wants you to forgive me? Who wants you to call me Jiaojiao?"
Xu Yan stepped forward and put his arms around Huo Jiao's shoulders, "Stop arguing here. Your uncle also wants to save face. I'll take you out."
"Stop doing this..."
Xu Yanqing pinched her shoulder with his fingers, and there was a hint of threat in his words.
"Everyone is going to laugh at your little uncle, so stop it. Otherwise, he really doesn't care whether you live or die, and your life will not be comfortable."
Huo Jiao couldn't help but glance at Huo Xijing and saw that he had a sinister look on his face, as if he wanted to devour someone.
She said nothing more and was taken outside by Xu Yanqing.
Standing on the steps more than ten steps high, Xu Yanqing let go of his hand.
Huo Jiao sneered at her, "You want to enter my Huo family? Then you have to be a good person with your tail between your legs. If you get hit by me like this, you can't fight back..."
She turned around and was about to go down.
Xu Yanqing saw a long leg in his peripheral vision, and Huo Jiao was kicked hard on the lower back. She let out a scream as she flew out.
"ah--"
Ping ping ping pong, bang——
The person rolled down the steps like a rubber ball, falling to his feet.
Xu Yanqing looked to the side in surprise. Yu Zhi stood in the wind with a solemn face, staring at Huo Jiao who was lying motionless.
