Chapter 235: Chapter 234 "This Mother and Son Must Be Disciplined

Luo Yan’s single sentence stunned everyone present who was causing a commotion, including her uncles who were among the crowd. None of them had expected that Luo Yan, who seemed so gentle, would prove such a challenge when she got serious. Truly, she lived up to being the most talented woman the Luo family had produced over the years.

However, at this moment, the voices of a man and a woman could be heard from outside the door, both sounding extremely discordant. It was immediately clear they were specifically targeting Luo Yan.

From outside, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman entered the room. Trailing behind the middle-aged man was Luo Qinghong, and behind the middle-aged woman was Zhang Yun, whose face was swollen on one side from a slap by Ye Tianchen.

Without a doubt, everyone could guess that the middle-aged man was Luo Yan’s brother, Luo Qi, and the middle-aged woman was her younger sister, Luo Xiaomei. From their words, it was evident that Luo Qi was quite dissatisfied with his younger sister, and Luo Xiaomei showed no respect for her elder sister, demanding justice for her son being hit by Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen, on the other hand, revealed a hint of a smile. The real troublemakers had finally shown up, and he had been worried they wouldn’t appear. When his mother had been driven out of the Luo family, these two had been the "biggest contributors." Initially, Ye Tianchen had not planned to concern himself with the Luo family’s members, to seek justice for his mother, but now it seemed they wouldn’t let things be, feeling that they were above everyone else. Since they were so unrelenting, he felt no need to be polite anymore.

"Sister, it’s been twenty years, and you are still as formidable as ever. I don’t want to say much, just leave the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box, and you can take the broken jade pieces with you. They’re worthless. I won’t make it difficult for you, otherwise, you will face the consequences!" Luo Qi said coldly, looking at his sister Luo Yan.

"Hmph, Luo Yan, your son dared to hit my son. Today I want him to lose his hands and feet!" Luo Xiaomei, like a shrew, pointed at Luo Yan’s nose and cursed with no respect for her elder sister, appearing even more arrogant than Luo Qi.

Hearing the words of Luo Qi and Luo Xiaomei, Luo Yan felt deeply pained. She had returned to the Luo family most fearful of exactly this kind of scene. It had always been her brother and sister who were most against her, which chilled her heart. They were her own siblings; how had things gotten to this point? She had never competed with her brother and sister for anything, she even let them have their way in everything. Could they really not tolerate her presence?

"Brother, sister, I came back this time just to see Grandma. She’s gone, and I’m heartbroken. I don’t want to fight with you over anything, and I won’t stay in the Luo family. Rest assured," Luo Yan sighed and said.

After Luo Qi and Luo Xiaomei entered the room, they did not spare a glance or show any sorrow for their deceased grandmother. They came with their swords drawn, determined to get the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box, completely blinded by their own interests, and disregarding everything else.

"We don’t care why you came back, I just want the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box!" Luo Qi said with a sneer.

"Luo Yan, you’re nothing but someone driven out of the Luo family. What right do you have to come back? And you dare to have your son hit my son; do you no longer want to live? Do you want to leave the Luo family dead?" Luo Xiaomei lacked any of the upbringing of a noble family’s offspring, no different from a shrew in the streets.

Slap!

Just as the atmosphere in the room was incredibly tense and grave, with Luo Yan, Ye Tianchen, and Uncle Wang surrounded by everyone and prevented from taking another step forward, a loud slap resonated. Poor Zhang Yun was flung away by Ye Tianchen’s slap, significantly stronger than the first, which sent Zhang Yun flying out of the door with blood trickling from his mouth and teeth mixed with blood spit out.

No one expected that under such circumstances, Ye Tianchen would dare to hit someone again. Even Luo Yan was startled, not expecting her son to strike. They were nearly enclosed by everyone else, and aside from Uncle Wang, there was not a soul on their side. Uncle Wang was just a servant of the Luo family, and all those surrounding them were masters of the Luo family; thus, Uncle Wang was powerless to help.

In this situation, by striking out, Ye Tianchen risked becoming the target of everyone’s censure. Leaving the Luo family was looking increasingly difficult. How could this scene be resolved now that Zhang Yun was almost knocked unconscious by that slap?

"You... ah..." Zhang Yun fell to the ground, clutching both sides of his face. Already swollen on one side from Ye Tianchen’s first slap, the other side quickly swelled up after receiving another. Now his entire face resembled a pig’s head, a pitiful and unbearable sight.

"Son, son... Are you alright?" Luo Xiaomei rushed to her son’s side, asking anxiously.

"Mom, that bastard, I must kill that son of a bitch..." Zhang Yun, enduring the intense pain, glared at Ye Tianchen through gritted teeth.

Zhang Yun was a tragedy who, at the very beginning, wanted to stand up for his mother and belittle Luo Yan and Ye Tianchen, little did he know that Ye Tianchen was no pushover. A slap from Ye Tianchen left him dazed and frightened him into running to Luo Xiaomei for rescue in his Audi sports car.

Now, following his brazen mother Luo Xiaomei, he had come to regain his pride and harshly teach Luo Yan and her son a lesson, only to be slapped flying by Ye Tianchen before he could even start taunting or showing off his might. As the master of the Luo family’s younger generation who was most in the spotlight and unapproachable, who had ever dared to hit Zhang Yun like this? Whether it was outsiders or the Luo family’s elders, no one dared to discipline Zhang Yun, after all, his mother was extremely protecting and, like a shrew, too.

Luo Xiaomei suddenly stood up, furiously charged at Luo Yan, as though her advance would scare anyone, and fiercely pointed at her sister Luo Yan’s nose as she yelled, "Luo Yan, you and your son won’t leave the Luo family alive today, I want you to..."

Bang!

Ye Tianchen delivered another kick, sending Luo Xiaomei flying out to land next to her son. There was no other way. How else could he deal with such a shrew without raising his hand to strike?

Many people in the room were stunned. It goes without saying for Zhang Yun, who, despite his arrogance, still wouldn’t dare to act rashly in front of the Luo family’s elder uncles. And Luo Xiaomei was notoriously fierce in the Luo family. No one dared to offend her easily, as no one wanted to provoke this persistent shrew. Adding to that, Luo Xiaomei’s father, Luo Yansong, was the helmsman, so everyone had to show some respect, and mostly they preferred to keep their distance.

But Ye Tianchen didn’t care for all that. He had beaten the son, beaten the mother, and as far as he was concerned, neither were good people. Now, he and his mother Luo Yan were surrounded by this group of people. If reasoning could get them out of the Luo family, they wouldn’t be in this predicament. Without showing some force to intimidate these people, they were unlikely to step aside.

"You... little beast, you dare to hit me... I’ll fight you..." Luo Xiaomei crawled up from the ground, wanting to rush over and fight Ye Tianchen to the death, mainly because she felt confident in her heart, believing that Ye Tianchen, no matter how arrogant, wouldn’t dare to actually harm her.

"I would advise you not to shout recklessly. I don’t care who you are. You people here don’t treat my mom and me as your own, so I won’t consider myself as one of you either. I, Ye Tianchen, even dare to kill people from the Qin family and the Luo family, so killing you would be no different!"

At this moment, a sinister smile appeared on Ye Tianchen’s lips. He wasn’t just making a threat; he was indeed prepared to act on it. If someone from the Luo family was really foolhardy enough to obstruct them, he wouldn’t mind killing. After all, there were people among this group who also wanted to kill him and his mother, so was there any need to be polite?

"Tianchen, don’t..." Luo Yan was still somewhat reluctant and wanted to persuade her son.

"Mom, it’s because you’re too kind that you get bullied, always considering others and giving in. But they won’t let you go. Let me handle this!" Ye Tianchen said to his mother with a smile.

At this time, all the people present, including the Luo family’s elders, were also stunned, or more accurately, they were shocked. Among them, there were high-ranking officials, military figures, and business tycoons, all of them somewhat influential figures. Naturally, they had heard about what Ye Tianchen had done in Capital City. However, the appearance of the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box made many of them forget these events. Now, hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, many people involuntarily stepped back, even showing a bit of surprise. This young man, who could also be considered a descendant of the Luo family, was so formidable.

Luo Xiaomei had wanted to rush over and make a scene with Ye Tianchen, but upon hearing his words, she stopped in place, not daring to charge forward anymore because she had also heard about Ye Tianchen’s deeds. At the time, she had disdainfully said that Luo Yan’s son was nothing impressive and that he would be killed by someone sooner or later.

Now, it seemed that it wasn’t Ye Tianchen who was courting death, but her, Luo Xiaomei. Was it not enough proof that he dared to beat up her son and herself without saying anything else?

"Sister, I don’t care how powerful your son is, the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box must be left behind. Don’t force me to call all the Luo family’s security guards here. It won’t be easy to clean up then..." Luo Qi frowned as he glanced at Ye Tianchen, then sneered at Luo Yan.

Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, looking at the uncles around her; then she turned to look at her mother-in-law lying on the bed who had passed away, tears welling up in her eyes again. She steadied her emotions and said, "Let’s go to the hall to handle the matter of the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box. Let’s not disturb grandma; I don’t want her to pass away uneasy!"

"Hmph, if we’re going to the hall, then we’re going to the hall. But you won’t leave the Luo family’s gate alive without handing over the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box!" Luo Qi said harshly as he glanced at Luo Yan, leading the way to the hall outside the door.

"Let’s go, but I advise you not to shout recklessly, or you’ll end up like this mother and son..." Ye Tianchen shrugged his shoulders and said with an innocent smile. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
