Hearing Li Hongmei’s voice, both mother and daughter turned around.

“Oh, isn’t this my good friend Hongmei? You came at just the right time, look at this big lobster that child Ling Yun brought. Let’s both have a taste and see how fresh it is!” Qin Qiuyue smiled as she waved warm-heartedly towards Li Hongmei.

Upon seeing the massive lobster in Qin Qiuyue’s hand, Li Hongmei almost jumped back in shock. Her mouth was agape as she stared at the lobster. Upon regaining her senses she immediately asked, “My dear sister Qiuyue, what did Hades Tian do to you to cause Ling Yun to go into such a rage?” Li Hongmei’s voice was overflowing with anxiety.

(‘Hades Tian’ is the nickname that all the residents of the low-income area used to call Tian Botao behind his back.)

Qin Qiuyue gave her a reassuring smile before replying.

“What could he possibly do to me? Don’t worry, nothing serious happened. Ling Yun was just annoyed when that fellow refused to leave our clinic. To add on, Tian Botao acted disrespectfully so their argument eventually turned into a fight.”

Despite the simplicity of her explanation, Qin Qiuyue was able to perfectly convey the circumstances that led to the fight.

Li Hongmei, on the other hand, was dumbfounded.

“They fought because of such a trivial matter?! How ‘magnanimous’ can one be? Come on now sister, you had better stop the two of them or else someone might really end up dying!”

As she gazed at Li Hongmei’s anxious expression, Qin Qiuyue smiled as she shook her head.

“The brave die young while the smart live long. Don’t worry, I know my child, he won’t do anything too crazy to Tian Botao. We don’t have to worry.”

Seeing how calm and composed Qin Qiuyue was, Li Hongmei hesitated for a moment before continuing.

“But my dear, you have to know, your son is beating up that Hades Tian. Once that fella recovers, I’m sure he will try to shut your clinic down. Not to mention, he would never let Ling Yun walk away scot-free!”

Despite Qin Qiuyue’s attitude, Li Hongmei was truly worried about the future of her and her children.

In response, Qin Qiuyue remained silent, seemingly pondering about the matter. She then broke her silence as she turned to Ning Lingyu after a few moments.

“Lingyu, go tell your brother to wrap things up soon. It wouldn’t do us good to create such a ruckus outside the clinic.”

Ning Lingyu nodded her head obediently before rushing out, her footsteps light and graceful. The moment she reached the entrance she was shocked by the huge number of onlookers that had gathered!

The area surrounding Ling Yun and gang was now bustling with excitement as well. This was known as creating irrefutable evidence! With Tian Botao admitting to starting trouble himself, when the time comes for a lawsuit, there would be no worries of losing!

Even if Hades Tian decided to exact his revenge from the shadows, they would have an easy time against him.

“No…no of course not, there’s no such injustice!” Hades Tian replied in exasperation. His breathing was now heavy and ragged as he grimaced in pain.

For many years in Linjiang Road, he had lived like a tyrant, doing whatever he pleased. Yet now he was being stepped on and suffering at the hands of Qin Qiuyue’s spineless son?! This was beyond simple humiliation!

Thus, Tian Botao swore in his heart that he had to leave this place alive. And once he did, he would use whatever connections and means at his disposal to teach these two arrogant brats a lesson they would never forget. He was determined to turn their lives into a living hell.

As for Qin Qiuyue, he no longer cared about winning her over. By hook or by crook he would make sure to shut her clinic down and rape her. Of course, he would not forget about her beautiful daughter, Ning Lingyu too!

“Do you really mean it or are you lying?” Ling Yun asked as he pressed even harder with his leg, irritated by Tian Botao’s attitude.

“I mean it! It’s not injustice!” Tian Botao yelled instantly from the pain.

“Let this be my first and my last warning. As of today, never step into The People’s Clinic ever again! Are we clear about this?” Ling Yun exclaimed angrily as he lowered his head and spat onto Tian Botao’s swollen face.

What Ling Yun really wanted to say to Tian Botao was and more people congregated. The crowd was so big that it had lost its shape. There was now a crowd surrounding the crowd! The three guys within were now trapped from all sides, without even a gap for them to leave.

At that moment, the person ‘communicating’ with Tian Botao had already switched to Ling Yun. Ling Yun placed his left foot on to Tian Botao’s chest as if it was the most natural thing to do. His pose exuded an air of dominance.

“Now tell me, were you looking for trouble?”

“No…”

“Huh?!” Ling Yun’s leg pressed harder into his chest upon hearing his response.

“Yes, yes, I was looking for trouble.” Tian Botao frantically replied when he felt the pain.

“So do you deserve this beating?” Ling Yun asked with a cold smile as he interrogated Tian Botao in front of the whole crowd.

“Yes…I deserve it…” Tian Botao answered. With his phone in pieces, he could not even call for reinforcements anymore.

Furthermore, Ling Yun and Tang Meng’s actions were getting from bad to worse. Thus, as reluctant as he was, he was terrified of them, explaining his obedience.

“So do you think you’re suffering injustice?” Ling Yun asked, unwilling to stop the interrogation.

Ling Yun tried his hardest to make sure that the interrogation was flawless. That was because Tang Meng was secretly filming the whole process with his widescreen camera phone.

as to leave his mother alone. However, in the presence of so many people, he felt that bringing it up would only complicate matters further. Since such things could lead to rumors and backlash, he chose to not mention it at all.

“Of course! Of course, I promise!”

Having been bullied to such extent, Tian Botao was on the verge of tears.

“Have you got it all down?” Ling Yun asked Tang Meng.

“Boss, you should retake a few more shots, that pose just now wasn’t cool enough. Oh right, it’s my turn now, could you help me record…”

Seeing the sight of Ling Yun behaving so dominantly and aggressively, Tang Meng was dying to join in.

As onlookers observed these two fearless warriors joking over such a serious matter, they could not help but roll their eyes. What were these two kids doing? Did they think they were filming a movie? Retake a few more shots? Seriously?

As for Tian Botao, he almost fainted from anger!

To make matters worse, Ling Yun showed no mercy. Without any hesitation, he agreed to Tang Meng’s suggestion.

Tang Meng’s eyes brightened. As he was about to pass the iPhone 5 to Ling Yun, they heard a familiar voice coming from behind the crowd.

“Brother, Mum’s calling us for dinner!”

“Boss, look what you’ve done, I told you I should have gone first but you insisted on going before me…”

Tang Meng’s face was now full of regret as he stomped his foot in disappointment. He had even planned to record his manly moments so as to impress Ning Lingyu later.

“That’s enough fun, there’re still so many things to do. Get on with your work!”

Standing upright, Ling Yun’s sharp eyes had spotted the bags of groceries lying beside the car. Worried that passers-by might run off with them, he had made sure to take a quick glance every few intervals.

That being said, who would dare take their things? After seeing the state of Hades Tian, no one had the guts to do such a thing.

Tang Meng sulked as he kept his phone. Following that, he shouted to the noisy crowd, “I take it that you guys have had your fill of excitement? Now hurry up and disperse so that we can enjoy our dinner in peace!”

Tang Meng then began pushing through the crowd as he made his way towards the hummer. It was time for him to restart his job as a ‘worker ant’.

Ling Yun removed his foot from Tian Botao’s chest.

“Today was just a small lesson for you. In fact, you should feel lucky. If you ever forget your place and dare to exact revenge, I’ll make sure you regret being born.”

“Now scram!” Ling Yun shouted in a menacing tone.

Having delivered his warning, Ling Yun ignored the half-dead Tian Botao as he signaled his sister to follow him.

Lingyu, help us look after the items. Tang Meng and I will bring everything in as soon as possible.”

With so many items, Tang Meng alone would have to make at least five to six trips to shift everything. Seeing that he was free, Ling Yun decided to help.

“Ling Yun’s definitely changed now, to think that he had the guts to beat up Hades Tian! In the past…”

“Doctor Qin did not raise her son in vain after all! Look at him being all quiet most of the time, but when push came to shove he became so dependable!”

“Way to go! To think he could put Hades Tian in his place like that. That felt so good!”

“Kids these days… to be able to pick a fight with anyone, I’m speechless…”

The crowd was filled with chatter and gossip as people dispersed. This incident had no doubt put an end to any contempt the people had towards Ling Yun.

As for Tian Botao, he struggled for some time to get up. He then took advantage of the crowd, staggering slowly as he retreated home with his tail between his legs!

“Just wait! I will be back to teach you all a lesson!” Tian Botao repeated as he left. His heart was filled with hatred! His anger was so great that he had trouble keeping it in! Not only was he beaten, he had his glasses smashed, his phone destroyed and was even filmed while being stepped on! There was no chance of reconciliation! To live under the same sky with those brats was absolutely unacceptable!

Back at The People’s Clinic.

With everyone having gone home, the clinic regained its peaceful atmosphere. At the same time, Ling Yun and company had just finished moving all the items into the backyard.

“Oh, so you must be Tang Meng! What a sturdy child!” Qin Qiuyue greeted as she saw Tang Meng just as she exited the kitchen.

“Hi, aun…”

Having heard Qin Qiuyue’s voice, Tang Meng had rushed to greet her, with the word ‘auntie’ leaving his mouth as per habit. Yet when he saw her, the word got stuck halfway up his throat before he could finish.

Was this lady truly Ning Lingyu’s mum? Why does she look so young? Tang Meng’s mouth was still opened midway as his two eyes stared at Qin Qiuyue in a daze. He was convinced that if he had met Qin Qiuyue on the streets and greeted her, he would have addressed her as ‘big sister’.

This was understandable. Even though Qin Qiuyue was almost thirty-six, she looked to be her mid-twenties at most. Her skin was fair and silky smooth. Her figure was perfect and her whole body looked mature and attractive. Not a single flaw was to be seen in that figure.

Even the petite and slim Ning Lingyu when compared to her mother, would lose out by a bit. After all, Ning Lingyu was still in the middle of puberty thus her body was still rather underdeveloped. In contrast, Qin Qiuyue’s body was well developed and mature.

“What were you going to say? Is your skin itching for some slapping too?” Ling Yun asked as he lifted his leg and gave Tang Meng a kick in the butt.

“Aunt… Auntie, you look so young!” Tang Meng exclaimed. Finally having regained his senses, he scratched his head, his face flushed with embarrassment.

Qin Qiuyue’s face remained the same as she responded with a gentle smile. She then turned to Ling Yun and Ning Lingyu, reprimanding them in a reproachful tone.

“What are you two making our guest do? Lingyu, hurry up and serve some tea to your schoolmate; As for you Ling Yun, go and tidy up the place.”

Tang Meng almost felt tears in his eyes! Finally, justice was served!

Even though Ning Lingyu’s attitude towards Tang Meng all these while was not ridiculously cold, it was not exceptionally wonderful as well. With his interaction with Ling Yun in the past two days, Ning Lingyu’s interaction with him had also become more normal. However, she still hardly ever smiled at him.

As for Ling Yun, *cough*, let’s not even go there. Putting aside the fact that Ling Yun ripped a large sum of money off of him, Ling Yun even ordered him around like his personal errand boy. He also constantly got his butt kicked around by Ling Yun!

He was one of Qingshui high’s four great young masters, yet he had to pay in cash and labor for Ling Yun. Not to mention even having to play the role of a free driver for Ling Yun! He also had to help Ling Yun in fights and in return, all he got was the treatment only an African slave deserved! Was he that easy?

Thinking of all these, he felt as if his heart was overflowing with tears! What a kind lady Qin Qiuyue was. His heart was so touched that there were no words to describe it.

Ning Lingyu smiled, a smile more refreshing than the first spring breeze as she spoke to Tang Meng

“Let’s go, Young Master Tang.”

After witnessing the scene of Tang Meng kicking Tian Botao out of the clinic, Ning Lingyu’s hate for him seemed to have lessened by a great deal.

“Bullshit! Hurry up and tidy everything up! Once you’re done help me clean up these two yellow croakers, or else don’t even think about eating dinner with us!” Ling Yun ordered rudely as he stopped Tang Meng who was mesmerized by Ning Lingyu’s smile right in his tracks.
