Chapter 20: Toxic Stans Only Break Down Over the Real Sister-in-Law. Can’t Bear to Do It? Or…
Five minutes passed in a flash.
The second Le Can thought of Xi Yun, a familiar figure slowly appeared in his line of sight from one side of the car window.
The figure standing by the roadside was like a sword with its edge concealed, allowing one to spot him at a glance among the crowd of people bowing and scraping.
Very unique.
Unlike the suits and leather shoes of the previous times, this time Xi Yun was wearing a black modified Zhongshan suit.
The black wasn’t purely black; low-key dark embroidery was hidden in the placket and cuffs, reflecting tiny glimmers of light under the sun.
It didn’t give off an overly mature oppressive feeling; instead, it gave a sense of composure and nobility. There was just the right amount of distance, yet not too far.
Was this perhaps one of Xi Yun’s few casual outfits?
Le Can secretly felt his guess was a bit funny.
But carefully recalling the scenes of opening the closet every time, filled with custom-made suits, maybe this guess hit the mark by sheer luck?
Yuan Cheng, who had been chattering non-stop with Xie Jun, was the first to spot their car. Before the car even came to a complete stop, he stepped forward in two strides, waving enthusiastically as usual.
Xie Jun clung to the window. The moment the car stopped, she opened the door and stormed out aggressively.
Not to hold Xi Yun accountable, and certainly not to have some ceremonial greeting hug with Yuan Cheng. Please, they had just met this morning.
Xie Jun bypassed the silly boy Yuan Cheng, who had opened his arms, her high heels clicking loudly on the ground.
“Where is that smelly idiot Xi Ziyu?!
This old lady will award him a slap the moment I see him!”
Le Can got out of the car leisurely, following behind the majestic Sister Jun, intending to keep a low profile as a little tail first.
After all, Le Can understood a principle very well:
Make a fortune in silence!
Anyway, he and Xi Ziyu had no grudges in the past or present. He couldn’t just run up and kick a mad dog just because he met one on the road, right?
But probably because he had been with normal people for too long recently, Le Can forgot one thing.
Since a mad dog is a mad dog, naturally, even if you don’t provoke it, it will bare its fangs, drooling, and pounce irrationally to frantically bite every living thing…
“I’m here. Didn’t expect that after not seeing each other for a long time, Sister Jun misses me so much?”
A low, hoarse voice drifted weakly into his ears. Coupled with an extremely slow enunciation speed and prolonged ending sounds, it made one feel a wave of discomfort just listening to it.
If Le Can had to think of a suitable thing to describe this feeling, it felt like mud spots splashing onto one’s body from time to time while walking on a rainy day.
Knowing it exists, and hating it extremely. But as long as there isn’t a dry spot on the ground, one cannot avoid its production, its entanglement…
“Sister Jun wants to, slap my face?”
Words that seemed stuck together mixed with some low, delightful, mad laughter, “Okay.”
A face that could be described as pale and gloomy was offered up, those cold, drooping eyes like a cold-blooded animal slowly rolling upward, “Just hit right here.”
Xi Ziyu pointed to the area under his eyes, which hung with dark circles all year round.
Unknown what had happened there, a thin, long reddish-brown scab stretched from under one eye to the chin, as if scraped fiercely by something.
Xie Jun, who had vowed to award a slap two minutes ago, turned green in the face. She raised her hand high, but facing the “dirty thing” in front of her, she couldn’t bring it down no matter what.
Le Can silently crossed out this Xi Ziyu heavily in his heart, and silently moved his steps to the side.
Such a weirdo of the psychopath level. Better leave it for the omnipotent and haloed Xi Yun to endure himself; he really didn’t have that “blessing”…
But Le Can refused the “blessing.”
The “blessing” came knocking on the door itself.
“Since Sister Jun isn’t willing, then… does Sister-in-law want to try?”
A gloomy gaze swept from the top of his head to his feet, like a sudden baptism of autumn rain, the seeping chill drilling straight into the cracks of the bones.
Le Can stopped his retreating steps.
He slowly looked up to meet Xi Ziyu’s staring eyes, the chill in the depths of his eyes no less than the other party’s.
The soft bun in the investigation information turned into a tough stubble?
Not only was Xi Ziyu not the least bit surprised or shrinking back, but his pupils dilated slightly, and several veins popped up on his excited neck and forehead.
Around those deep black eyes, completely different from Xi Yun’s, a faint red quickly surfaced.
“Sister-in-law can’t bear to do it?”
Murmuring whispers like a lover carried threads of ambiguity and dampness.
Followed by a sudden violent shout:
“Or dare not hit?!”
Pa——
A crisp and loud slap resounded through the entire street.
Le Can shook his red, hot, and painful hand with a face full of displeasure, looking at Xi Ziyu whose head was beaten to the side, the traces on half of his face becoming redder and redder.
“How was it? Is Sister-in-law’s strength enough?”
The requests of madmen and psychopaths are sometimes not impossible to satisfy. Since he even used goading tactics, Le Can didn’t mind letting him “get what he sought.”
He even kindly added two sentences: “Is one slap not quite symmetrical? Want to supplement the other half of the face too? Little, Brother.”
“Hahahahahahahahahaha…”
The person who had been silent for a while suddenly let out a long string of low laughter. The voice wasn’t loud, but in this situation, it only made those who heard it frown uncontrollably.
Xi Ziyu slowly turned his head, raising a hand to touch the corner of his mouth where a small cut had opened. As for the slap print surfacing on the pale skin, the subcutaneous bleeding was already horrifying.
The slap with the back of the hand was even more forceful than the palm; in fact, half of Xi Ziyu’s face was a bit numb, but he carelessly pushed his cheek with his tongue.
“With such little strength, when Sister-in-law is with my brother at home, do you also… play like this?”
Le Can was silent for two seconds first, then slowly hooked the corners of his mouth.
A pair of magnificent peach-blossom eyes carried no emotion, indifferent as if not looking at a person, but a rotting stinking ditch that could be stepped over at any time on the roadside.
Since he could step over it entirely, Le Can didn’t want to dirty his things anymore.
He lowered his eyes for a moment, then turned to look at the man who walked to his side, reaching out to grab his sleeve and shake it.
“Hubby, Little Brother thinks my strength is small. For the remaining slap, how about you help me… hit it back?”
Best hit it ruthlessly!
Don’t even think about eating or talking again!
Nothing is more delicious than dumplings, nothing is more fun than sisters-in-law? Xi Ziyu’s calls of “Sister-in-law” one after another, wantonly commenting and prying into the “boudoir joy” of him and Xi Yun?
If Le Can said he couldn’t see the blatant disgusting intentions inside, then he would be blind!
Not to mention, if being blind could avoid this psychopath Xi Ziyu, maybe if he was in a good mood, he could really accept pretending to be blind for a while.
Sowing discord between him and Xi Yun? Causing a relationship crisis between the two? Le Can laughed unkindly.
Sorry~ (Insincere version)
They really didn’t have this unwarranted relationship!
Boudoir joy my ass!
Actually, starting from the first “Sister-in-law,” under extreme calmness and anger, Le Can quickly and keenly discovered that Xi Ziyu had an unusual characteristic:
——With every sentence he spoke, his peripheral vision would look at Xi Yun.
Must be Xi Yun’s closeted toxic stan.
With the male lead’s charm, it wasn’t impossible, even very likely. The only thing Le Can had to do was to verify.
And as everyone knows.
Toxic stans only break down over the real sister-in-law.
Unfortunately, although he was fake, only he and Xi Yun knew this point~
So… enduring the address of sister-in-law, calling himself sister-in-law, and pretentiously calling Xi Yun “Hubby.” Le Can started his verification.
Vomit! It’s just that the sacrifice is too much, the mental damage is a bit big, vomit… No, later the mental damage fee must be compensated from Xi Yun!
With a pinched-throat “Hubby,” many people on the scene shook their bodies.
As if by magic, their gazes involuntarily converged on that, cough cough cough, Hubby himself who had a “pampered wife” at home.
Curiosity, horror, hard to explain in a few words… just not a single bit of envy. Occasionally mixed with the shock of “You look like a big-eyed, thick-browed honest guy usually, but privately you actually like this type.”
Xi Yun, whose reputation was damaged: “…”
Xi Yun wasn’t usually considered a person who restrained himself and followed rites, but he had truly never seen someone as tricky as Le Can. Even someone as bold as Xie Jun was mostly well-behaved in front of him.
Le Can was really…
Before Xi Yun could find a suitable adjective, a hand gently stroked his temple, soft fingertips sliding over hair strands, lingering down along the contour of the ear.
Warm breath sprayed behind the sensitive ear, “Hu…”
Le Can swallowed the remaining half of the word “bby,” eyes curved as he watched the man quickly withdraw, clench one hand into a fist, and smash it cleanly onto Xi Ziyu’s incredulous face.
With a loud bang.
The gloomy younger brother standing in place staggered back a few steps in embarrassment and fell by the roadside.
As for the veins still bulging on Xi Yun’s fist after hitting someone, was it because of him or something else? Does it matter?
Le Can only needed to know that the force of this punch was enough.
Under the dazzling sunlight, the smiling youth slowly stood up straight. He glanced lightly at Xi Ziyu, who hadn’t turned his head back for a long time, and began to apologize casually.
“Look at your brother, when I said hit, he really used such great force.”
“I’m afraid he’s destined to be a henpecked husband in this life. Dad’s inheritance will have to rely on you alone to guard it in the future, Little Brother.”
The scene was silent again.
Cough cough cough cough, whether Xi Yun is henpecked or not is another matter.
Who doesn’t know that Xi Chong is a dog that can’t change eating shit? Even after remarrying, he still plays around outside. The illegitimate children known in the circle alone cannot be counted on one hand.
Xi Yun took what he should take, cut off relations, and automatically broke away from the Xi family. Xi Ziyu’s mother, who refused to admit defeat and was also a love brain, vowed to bind herself and her son to Xi Chong until death.
A mother who had too much sunk cost and was unwilling to turn back, a father who worked hard to create new lives outside every year, a bunch of brothers and sisters related by blood but destined to stand on the opposite side…
Le Can’s blessing, or rather exhortation, was ruthless enough!
Le Can didn’t care about his own “ruthlessness.” He even hooked one arm around the male lead, whose back seemed a bit stiff, after finishing speaking, and said without looking back:
“Good luck, Brother and Sister-in-law have things to do and are leaving first.”
Just now, among the dumbfounded background faces, he accurately spotted the introducer + guide who had unknowingly fallen into the melon-eating crowd.
Sure enough, gathering in a crowd plus gossip is a kill anywhere!
But the point wasn’t this. Looking at Xi Ziyu’s presence, one knew that the “VIP” user for advance raw stone selection was probably a marketing tactic of unscrupulous merchants.
To snatch this batch of stones today, there might be a billion batches of people!
Le Can dragging people away in a hurry was just worrying that if they went late, the good raw materials would be bought by some lucky guy?!
What does a smelly brother count for?
Making money is important, go go go, hurry up and go!
Author’s Note:
On the surface: Whether Xi Yun is henpecked or not is another matter.
Privately: This kid Xi Yun is destined to be a henpecked husband in this life!
