Chapter 437: Live His Life Obediently
Master Qiu’s old face trembled.
“This child is still young. He’s a little insensible. He shouldn’t have come knocking on our door like this. But in the end… he’s just a child. H-How can you do that…” Master Qiu could not believe that a man like Xie Pinggang actually had a problem with a child.
Xie Pinggang chuckled, “He came knocking on our door himself. Moreover, I didn’t bully him. He didn’t dare to chop me with a blade. Since I’m not dead, I’ll have to teach him a good lesson.
“I work on cases at the criminal division. Right now, I’m just beating his butt. If he’s still insensible when he grows up, then we’ll be executing him by then.” After Xie Pinggang finished speaking, his gaze swept across Zhou Kaiyun’s face. That glance scared Zhou Kaiyun so much that he held back his breath, and his face turned red.
Master Qiu’s heart ached terribly.
A scholar meeting a soldier, it was hard to reason with him. Not to mention there was nothing to be reasoned with to begin with.
No matter how angry he was, he had always been a person who only reasoned and would not fight. He was the complete opposite of Xie Pinggang.
“Y-You…”
Boorish man…
Master Qiu was also a little speechless.
Xie Qiao looked at Zhou Kaiyun with a faint smile and asked, “Young Master Zhou, you were the one who wanted to kill someone. Now, let me ask you one more question in front of your grandfather. In the future, do you still want to seek revenge on my Eldest Brother?”
Zhou Kaiyun wailed again, “No, no… No…”
“Well, will you stare at me, my Younger Brother and Younger Sister in the future?” Xie Qiao asked again.
“No…” Zhou Kaiyun was very cooperative.
He did not want to say anything, but the man stared at him.
He did not dare to do it again.
“Great. In that case, you admit that you were wrong, right? A man should own up to his mistakes, so you should apologize to me,” Xie Qiao said in all seriousness, “I was scared by your stare when I was in the academy.”
Master Qiu’s heart trembled.
Why did he feel that this little girl was taking revenge on him…
How could this girl be scared?
Master Qiu was about to say something, but his grandson opened his mouth and said, “I was wrong, I know I was wrong… Don’t hit me, don’t hit me…”
Master Qiu felt that his heart was about to split open.
Look at how this boorish man scared his grandson!
“Good boy,” Xie Qiao had a kind look on her face. “What a good child. Come, have a bite of the snack.”
Xie Qiao took a piece of snack and handed it over.
She had a kind and amiable look on her face. She even reached out and touched Zhou Kaiyun’s head.
“Ahh… Grandpa, Grandpa! I’m scared…” Zhou Kaiyun suddenly squeezed himself into Master Qiu’s arms.
Xie Qiao chuckled, “This child is so timid. Don’t worry. We siblings don’t eat people.”
“That’s not certain,” Xie Pinggang added.
Master Qiu listened to the brother and sister going back and forth. He felt suffocated, and his old face tensed up.
He picked up his grandson with his old bones.
“Young Lady Xie, I know the Zhou family is guilty, but the child is innocent…” Master Qiu looked very helpless.
He was able to transfer Xie Qiao away in the academy because he was the dean. However, here, his identity as the dean was useless.
“The Dean thinks that the two of us are bullying him?” Xie Qiao was not angry, “Do you think that it’s better to let him hold a grudge or wake him up? Look, isn’t he obedient now? In the future, he will neither cause trouble nor stir up a ruckus. He will live his life obediently. What’s wrong with that?”
