Chapter 650: Chapter 650: A Woman Must Be Ruthless
Suddenly, five people burst out laughing.
Bai Xiao also wanted to laugh, but considering that the old man was trying to protect her face, she couldn’t undermine him. She held back her laughter so forcefully that she bit her lip until it bled.
"Old man, are you here to make us laugh? Look at yourself, have you seen your age? Your age alone probably adds up to three of us, right? Is your old body still strong? Just because you can pick up a chair, we have some too. Guys, bring them out for the old man to see," the one who looked like the eldest brother commanded.
The four men below immediately took out steel pipes, solid steel pipes. If one were to hit the head with these, it would undoubtedly cause serious injury. They brandished the steel pipes, striking them in their hands with a show of force, "Old man, how about we all have some fun together?"
The old man steeled his heart and whispered to Bai Xiao, "Girl, I’ll draw their attention in a moment. You find a way to run fast. They won’t do much to me, but it’s not the same with you."
Bai Xiao couldn’t help but laugh. Old man, you should worry about yourself! Here he was, barely able to protect himself, yet still considering her welfare. How foolish could one be?
Yet, she was moved. A stranger willing to risk his life for her at his age deserved her respect. She couldn’t possibly leave the old man behind.
She would handle it herself.
She pushed the old man aside, rolled up her sleeves—thank goodness she was wearing a shirt today and had sleeves to roll up. She decided to show some swagger too.
"Old man, this is none of your business. Let me handle it!"
Tears sprang to the old man’s eyes, and Bai Xiao was puzzled. What did this mean?
Was this a situation to cry over?
"Child, do you know I’m your grandfather? You’re so smart, how could you not guess that I am your grandpa? I thought I had covered my tracks perfectly, but you couldn’t help it. This is the bond of blood, the instinct to protect that can’t be changed. Child, you’ve recognized me after all! My granddaughter!" the old man wept bitterly.
Bai Xiao stepped back two paces.
What a beautiful misunderstanding!
She genuinely didn’t know this old man was her grandfather, the very one, Mr. Yu.
She was utterly speechless. Mrs. Yu tried to extort her, and now the old man was playing the hero!
What an extraordinary family they were.
Each one of them was an acting master!
The five hooligans laughed boisterously, "Oh, now we’ve got a touching family reunion scene! Come on, girl, trying to protect the old man, huh? With your delicate skin, I really can’t bring myself to harm you. Let’s play a little game. Brothers, put down the sticks. Let’s see who can strip off more clothes. The winner gets to go first."
The men rubbed their hands, dropped their sticks, and closed in, "Come on, girl, let’s have some good fun!"
Bai Xiao pushed the old man away as the five men advanced towards her.
Their primary target was Bai Xiao’s clothes. She was wearing a shirt and a skirt, and if they got hold of her, she would be left with no clothes on.
These men were up to no good.
Bai Xiao sneered. Heaven’s gate was open, but you chose not to enter; instead, you forced your way into hell. She had been living comfortably and started to treat everyone with kindness, but it seemed fate just couldn’t bear to see her at ease, always wanting her to explode.
Ruthlessness is often a product of force.
Without severity, a woman can’t stand firm.
