Chapter 8
The teacher in charge of the third grade was named Wei.
Teacher Wei was a just not from Li Family Village.
As he approached the classroom, he happened to hear Sheng Yuxiao's boast, "I'll beat him 800 times!"
Arrogant!
Absolutely too arrogant!
Teacher Wei's face tightened, and he pushed the door open loudly. The door collided with the wall, resounding a solid "bang."
Teacher Wei thought such a display should be quite intimidating.
Consequently, he cleared his throat and questioned, "Who's causing trouble here?"
Sheng Yuxiao turned around.
Once Teacher Wei met his face, his first reaction was that this kind of person shouldn't be here.
Then, Teacher Wei remembered that there seemed to be some program or something filming at the school recently.
"Are you part of the production crew?" burst out Teacher Wei.
"Well, finally someone with insight," remarked Sheng Yuxiao, his tone equally arrogant.
Teacher Wei’s face paled, "No matter who you are, how could you bully our students here?"
"Let go!" he shouted, trying to wrench Sheng Yuxiao's arm free. Despite Sheng Yuxiao looking young, Teacher Wei couldn’t move his arm despite his best efforts.
Li Xiaoya urgently tugged on Sheng Yuxiao's sleeve at that moment.
Only then did Sheng Yuxiao let go, and the boy fell back into his seat.
The boy broke into tears, "I'm going to be beaten to death! I want my mom! I want my mom!”
Sheng Yuxiao scoffed, "Cowardly thing. You were so bold earlier, weren't you?”
Teacher Wei wanted to reprimand him for his audacity, but as he caught Sheng Yuxiao's gaze, he was at a loss for words.
Holding his breath, Teacher Wei decided the situation was severe, so he went straight to the principal's office and called Wang Xiaozhi's mother.
Wang Xiaozhi's family were pig butchers. His mother, clad in a leather apron, brandishing a knife, came right over.
"Who? Who beat my son?"
"Come out!"
Upon seeing the production crew holding knives, they were immediately petrified.
How did things escalate so quickly?
The staff members immediately rushed forward.
If something happened to Sheng Yuxiao, they wouldn't be able to answer for it! ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
But when they got there, they realised that Sheng Yuxiao was unfazed. The door opened, directly facing Wang Xiaozhi's mother.
Instantly, Wang Xiaozhi's mother felt the imposing demeanour of the affluent young master. His aura was something entirely unencountered in their remote village.
She hesitated for a moment, gripping her knife tightly.
"Who are you intending to butcher?" Sheng Yuxiao asked.
Shaking off her daze, Wang Xiaozhi’s Mother gritted her teeth, "I'll slaughter whoever bullied my son!”
Her accents was heavy, but it was easier to understand than the folks from Li Family Village.
Sheng Yuxiao glanced at the production crew, "Why are you standing there? Call the police. Consider it a contribution to their end-of-year performance. No need to thank me."
Everyone was stunned.
Yet, Wang Xiaozhi's Mother scoffed, "Go ahead! Report me! I'm not afraid of you! The police station chief is my son’s third grand uncle!”
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoya tensed.
She kept tugging at Sheng Yuxiao's sleeve, urging him to run.
Sheng Yuxiao remained as immovable as a mountain, "Alright then." He looked at the production crew, "Give my father a call. Tell him his son is about to be slashed to death here. See if there’s any SWAT nearby willing to come to the rescue."
The production team was going frantic: "Please, let's just record the show, don't cause a scene. Otherwise, the whole county will be in an uproar."
This place was poverty-stricken, and not just in the mountains. The towns, the counties, the city: the entire province was far from wealthy.
With Sheng Yuxiao coming to record a show here, he was essentially a walking benefactor.
If something happened to him, it would severely dampen the spirits of the investors, causing havoc. Isn't that enough to stir up the entire county?
Wang Xiaozhi's Mother, who wasn’t worldly, seemed puzzled, evidently figuring from the production team's words that the young man before her was someone of significant importance...
The principal arrived at this moment, promptly persuading Wang Xiaozhi's Mother.
Pulling her to the side and lowering his voice, the principal said, "Have you lost your mind? Do you know who he is?"
Most people here were interconnected in some way, and the principal had no intention of causing a scene.
Wang Xiaozhi's Mother opened her mouth: "How should I know? Who is he, talking so arrogantly?"
The principal was exasperated: "Don’t act all important when you don’t even know who he is. Enough, give me the knife. Go, apologize."
"Apologize?"
"Go, quickly! If you don’t, I'll have your husband's name removed from your family register."
This threat was horrifying, even more effective than sending her to jail.
Wang Xiaozhi’s Mother’s expression changed as she stumbled over: "I’m sorry for the offense." She finished her apology, glaring at her crying son: "What are you crying for? Come home with me."
"Hold on, you haven’t apologized yet." Sheng Yuxiao wouldn’t let things slide. Even if his parents showed up, he would act the same.
Wang Xiaozhi's Mother said in astonishment, "I apologized to you just now."
Sheng Yuxiao pointed at her son: "I mean him."
His face darkened: "I brought Li Xiaoya to school, and all I heard as I entered was him calling her a whore, something you taught him. Now, apologize to Li Xiaoya."
A cool autumn breeze swept across the playground, brushing against Li Xiaoya's face.
Li Xiaoya looked up, only to understand that the older brother beside her seemed to be angry on her behalf...
"Well, that… it's merely a colloquialism, not an insult. Our village people just speak like that, we’re not as eloquent as you!" Wang Xiaozhi's Mother began indignantly.
Sheng Yuxiao smirked: "So, it's a colloquialism, huh? Then you should be perfectly fine calling your son a ‘bastard’, three times and we can move on."
Wang Xiaozhi's Mother's face froze.
As Wang Xiaozhi cried, he protested: "I'm not a bastard, I'm not."
Right then, the principal coughed.
Wang Xiaozhi's Mother took a deep breath, struggling to muster her voice: "Bastard, bastard, bastard."
After saying it three times, she dragged her son away: "Let's go home."

A crowd of comments began to flood in:
【So satisfying!】
【Sheng Yuxiao is awesome】
With that, the mother and son exited in disgrace, not daring to look back for fear of being forced to call out even more derogatory terms.
The breath Sheng Yuxiao had caught in his chest finally released, and he reached up to pat Li Xiaoya's head: "Alright, go to class now."
Complete silence permeated the surroundings, no one dared to speak out of turn.
The innocent little ones, who understood little of the world, now regarded Sheng Yuxiao with newfound awe.
They did not comprehend much, they only knew that Wang Xiaozhi's mother, so fierce, so domineering, was put in her place by him.
Li Xiaoya got the inside scoop after spending half a day in school, and the news spread like wildfire—
Incredible! Li Xiaoya has a brother! A very intimidating brother! Even more fearsome than Wang Xiaozhi's mother!
"Li Xiaoya, Li Xiaoya," her desk mate leaned over out of the blue.
She asked curiously, "Is he really your brother?"
She wore an envious expression, "I wish I had a brother like that. My brother only grabs my books and pens."
Li Xiaoya's pencil grip tightened involuntarily, and her heart started pounding.
She wished.
She wished he were her brother.
But she drops her gaze and says honestly, "No, he's not my brother."
After the show recording, he would depart.
