The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227: Chapter 226: Leng Yuan Beats People Up

"Oh, so it’s you, Grandma! I didn’t even recognize you. My apologies for the poor reception."

Gu Jiaojiao’s voice was gentle, but she didn’t put away the cleaver in her hand.

The old woman wanted to enter, but the cleaver in her hand was intimidating, so she could only stand at the gate.

"Let’s go inside and talk!"

When Gu Jiaojiao offered a single polite phrase and nothing more, the old woman had no choice but to suggest they talk inside the courtyard.

Gu Jiaojiao didn’t move an inch.

"Oh, no. That’s not convenient for me."

The old woman was speechless.

She wanted to fly into a rage.

Gu Jiaojiao balanced the cleaver on the tip of her finger. No one knew how she did it, but the blade began to spin in the air on its own.

Gu Jiaojiao was balancing it with just a single finger.

The old woman swallowed the tirade she was about to unleash.

"I’m still your grandmother, you know! How can you speak to me like that!"

As she spoke, she stole a glance at the courtyard behind Gu Jiaojiao.

Clean, neat, and spacious.

This courtyard was much larger than the one they occupied, and it had more rooms. It was even big enough for their whole family to move in.

She was itching to go inside and have a proper look.

But, intimidated by the cleaver in Gu Jiaojiao’s hand, she could only stand at the gate and look on with envy.

Gu Jiaojiao didn’t much care for the old woman before her; the look in her eyes was full of scheming.

So she didn’t bother being polite.

"Oh? This is how I talk. If you don’t like it, go ahead and report me to the county."

With that, she slammed the courtyard gate shut.

The old woman was dumbfounded, pointing at the closed gate.

"She... she dares to treat me like this?"

At home, her sons and grandsons were all obedient. Even her daughters-in-law didn’t dare raise their voices at her.

And now, she had been publicly humiliated by a granddaughter-in-law.

The old woman was having none of it.

"Bang on the door! Get Leng Yuan out here! I’d like to see if he dares to disrespect me, his own grandmother!"

Leng Qiushou hesitated.

The old woman urged him on again.

"Yes, we tried to stop her! We really did!"

They were terrified.

The memory of being pinned to the ground and beaten senseless by Leng Yuan was still etched into their muscles. Even though it had been years, the moment they saw him, they could feel the phantom pain.

They had made a mistake.

They should have dragged Grandma back and stopped her from coming over.

Grandma Leng, however, remained as arrogant as ever.

"What, are you going to hit them right in front of me? Go on, I dare you to lay a finger on them."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuan strode forward and sent Leng Qiushou to the ground with a single punch.

When Leng ManCang moved to intervene, Leng Yuan simply pinned him to the ground and started beating him as well.

Aunt Leng and Third Aunt Leng started to step forward.

Leng Yuan’s voice was calm.

"If you dare come any closer, I’ll hit them even harder."

The two women didn’t dare approach, they could only beg for mercy with their words.

"Leng Yuan, we know we were wrong! Please stop! Those are your cousins! Stop it!"

The old woman was livid. Gripping her cane, she started forward. How dare he hit someone right in front of her! She was going to teach this insolent grandson, who didn’t know his place, a harsh lesson.
