Xiao Tian instantly turned around after hearing his aunt’s voice. “Aunt, mother, what are you doing here?”
Even though Xiao Tian knew that his mother and aunt heard his words, he didn’t panic; instead, he behaved normally as if cutting off someone’s arms was a normal thing.
“Why do you want to cut off their arms?” Ye Qingyu inquired.
She knew that Shu and Shungguan had tried to ruin her good reputation, but in her view, cutting off their arms was too much.
Not only would he destroy their life, but there was also a high chance that Shu and Shungguan would commit suicide after his underlings cut off their arms.
“Because they had tried to ruin your reputation before.” Xiao Tian answered calmly as if he was trying to help her. “We have to teach a lesson to people who try to cause trouble to us so that other people will not dare to do the same. I’m already kind enough to only cut off their arms. Previously, I even want to kill them.”
“What?” Ye Qingyu widened her eyes in surprise.
She found it hard to believe what she was hearing. She didn’t expect him to say something like that easily as if he had killed many people before.
Even though she lived in Beijing before, but she knew that her nephew was not a cruel person like that. If she didn’t hear it with her own ears, she would not have believed that he could say something so cruel like that so easily.
‘Is he really my nephew? I have never heard him say something like this before. What happened to him when I was in Beijing? What made him change drastically like this?’
Because his behavior was different than usual, Ye Qingyu began to wonder whether he was really her nephew or not.
There were so many things about him that changed drastically. First, he suddenly became a genius in business. Second, he suddenly became a playboy even though he used to be a shy person.
Third, he suddenly became the gang leader and the last but not the last; she felt that he had become crueler than before.
Of course, she still believed that he was her nephew because nothing had changed with his body. She was only surprised by his drastic change in behavior.
“Tian, what did you just say?” Ye Xueyin wanted to make sure that she heard it right.
Like Ye Qingyu, she was also startled after hearing his words. It was the first time she had heard her son say something cruel like that.
In the past, he was always kind to everyone. He even never said something like that before. Now, not only did he say cruel things, but he even said about killing so easily.
At this moment, Xiao Tian realized that he had made a huge mistake. However, because he didn’t want to pretend to be someone else, he decided to continue behaving like himself.
“If we are soft to people who cause trouble to us, other people will continue causing problems for us in the future.” Xiao Tian tried to explain the reason why he wanted to cut off the arms of Shu and Shungguan. “We should teach them a lesson so that other people will think twice if they want to cause trouble for us.”
Even though Ye Qingyu and Ye Xueyin agreed with his words, but in their view, it was still too cruel to cut off someone’s arms just because they had tried to ruin their reputation.
“Can you just let them go? Your underlings had beaten them up before, right? And before we left earlier, you whispered something to one of your underlings. I’m sure you ordered them to beat Shu and Shungguan again, right?” it was not like Ye Qingyu had forgiven Shu and Shungguan. It was because she didn’t want the police to arrest him later.
‘How come her instincts are always right?’
At this moment, Xiao Tian was a little annoyed.
“Tian, just let them go. They already got what they deserved. You don’t need to make them suffer anymore.” Ye Xueyin didn’t want her son to become a criminal. That was why she asked him not to cut off Shungguan’s and Shu’s arms.
“No! We have to teach them a lesson! This is what they got for daring to cause trouble to aunt.” Xiao Tian insisted on cutting off Shungguan and Shu’s arms because, in his view, he was already kind enough not to kill them.
‘They are too soft to their enemies.’
His past life father’s words kept ringing in his mind whenever someone dared to cause trouble for himself or his family. That was why Xiao Tian didn’t want to forgive Shu and Shungguan easily.
“Are you really my nephew?” even though Ye Qingyu knew that he was her nephew, but because his behavior was different than usual, she wanted to make sure that he was really her nephew.
Xiao Tian widened his eyes in surprise. There was no way he would say to them that he was not Xiao Tian because it would cause trouble for him later.
For this reason, he thought of a way to lie to them. “Aunt, I’m no longer the naive kid I was in the past. I know that this world is a cruel place for everyone. If we are not strong, someone will play with our life. If we don’t want anyone to cause trouble to us, we have to be strong and make them know the price for messing with us.”
Ye Qingyu and Ye Xueyin were at a loss for words.
‘What happened to him? Why did he change like this? Did the Xiao family cause trouble for him? Or did other families always give him trouble?’
Countless questions emerged in Ye Qingyu’s and Ye Xueyin’s minds. Of course, they still didn’t want him to order his underlings to cut off the arms of Shu and Shungguan.
“But still, it’s too much to cut off their arms.” Ye Qingyu spoke. “Can you let them go?”
Xiao Tian didn’t answer and only stared at his aunt.
Ye Xueyin grabbed his hands and stared at him in the eyes. “Tian, just let them go.”
Like before, Xiao Tian didn’t answer and only stared at them.
“Tian..” Ye Qingyu and Ye Xueyin spoke in unison.
Xiao Tian gave a sigh and gave in. “Fine. I will ask my underlings to release them.”
Even though he hadn’t forgiven Shu and Shungguan, but because his mother and aunt wanted him to release them, he had no choice but to agree with their words because he didn’t want to make them sad.
Of course, Xiao Tian would give Shu and Shungguan the last lesson. He would make them lose their jobs and could not find good jobs in Shanghai anymore.
He already had a name in Shanghai. And with the help of Zhao Sheng and Lan Ruoxi, he was sure that he could make Shu and Shungguan could not find good jobs anymore later.
“Thank you.” Ye Qingyu knew that Xiao Tian still hadn’t forgiven Shu and Shungguan. That was why she was glad that he was still listening to their words.
