My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 340: What a Despicable Person!

"Little bastard, didn't you hear what I said? Get the hell out!" the security captain roared at Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu had been meek until now, but he flared up at those words. "I'm going! Who's afraid of whom? I've been sick of your attitude for a long time. You bully the weak and fear the strong, just like a groveling lapdog. What a piece of work. To hell with serving you!"

With that, he turned to grab his bedding roll.

"Stop right there!" the security captain yelled. "You bastard, you dare to curse at me? I'll beat you to death today!"

The security captain, relying on his bit of martial arts training, had never taken Xiao Liu seriously. Little did he know, Xiao Liu was also a trained fighter, and an even more formidable one at that. In just a few moves, he knocked the security captain to the ground.

He then grabbed his bedding and was about to leave when Yang Qi stopped him. "Young man, come over and let's chat."

Since Xiao Liu couldn't get a cab here anyway, he simply put his bedding aside and started talking with Yang Qi.

Having been bested, the security captain's eyes glinted with malice. He took out his phone and dialed a number. If he couldn't regain his dignity today, how could he ever show his face around here again?

「Meanwhile, in a room at the White Horse Manor.」

Zhang Gong was vividly describing Yang Qi. "Speaking from my years of experience as a teacher," he began, "that Yang Qi is a complete and utter country bumpkin. His clothes, while clean, are obviously handmade. Only country bumpkins and top business magnates dress like that. He's certainly no magnate, so he must be a bumpkin. You're lucky you didn't go out, Baixiang. Otherwise, you definitely would've gotten stuck with him."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Tian Lili chimed in with a laugh, "You're amazing, Teacher! That's exactly right. Tell those toads who dream of eating swan meat to get lost!"

"See, Baixiang? Our teacher is so perceptive!" another student added. "If that kid had even a shred of wealth, Teacher would have brought him in. Turns out he's just a peasant."

"Exactly. He's from the lowest dregs of society, the kind of person trampled under the feet of millions. If you got involved with someone like that, Baixiang, your life would be ruined!"

"Right! And those broke losers love to act shamelessly. They have no class at all."

Listening to her friends, Chen Baixiang breathed a sigh of relief. She was lucky she hadn't gone out, or it would have been a huge mess.

Just as she was thinking this, her grandfather, Chen Guo, called again. Apparently, he was still worried and wanted to check on the situation. "Baixiang, has Mr. Yang arrived yet? You must treat him well and not be neglectful in the slightest. Do you understand?"

Chen Baixiang replied impatiently, "Grandpa, I didn't even go. I had my teacher take a look. He's just a country bumpkin, a little beggar. You really are getting senile. How could you introduce me to someone like that?"

"Shut up!"

For the first time ever, Chen Guo, who had never so much as raised his voice to Chen Baixiang, bellowed. "I forbid you to ever say that again! I'm telling you, go and welcome Mr. Yang right now. If you fail to bring him here, you will not take a single step out of this house again. And I'll have your father cancel all your cards!"

Chen Baixiang was stunned. She had never imagined her grandfather would yell at her. In the past, even when her parents disciplined her, her grandfather would always step in to protect her. He had never spoken a single harsh word to her; in fact, he was always careful and gentle when he spoke to her. What's gotten into him today? Why is he so explosive? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Grandpa... I'm your granddaughter! How could you talk to me like this for an outsider? What did I even do wrong?" she started to cry, feeling aggrieved.

"I'm telling you, stop the waterworks. I am not joking," Chen Guo said furiously. "If Mr. Yang expresses even the slightest dissatisfaction, I promise you can forget about any entertainment in your future. And you won't be seeing any of your good-for-nothing friends, either. It's all my fault for spoiling you rotten!

"Now, go and get Mr. Yang. Immediately!"

With that, he angrily hung up. This granddaughter of his had really been spoiled rotten by him. Why did she have to be so troublesome?

On her end, Chen Baixiang was completely bewildered and stopped crying. Normally, her tears were her ultimate weapon; her grandfather would always immediately back down and apologize. But today, not only had he not apologized, he had scolded her. She felt incredibly wronged.

"Your grandfather has really gone senile," Tian Lili said irritably. "I bet that Yang Qi guy snitched on you. What a piece of work, tattling behind someone's back. He's no good! No, he's not even worthy of being called a man!"

Zhang Gong also frowned. "If that little punk were my student, I'd teach him a harsh lesson. He's so young, yet instead of learning anything useful, he's learned how to gossip. People like him are disgusting. Baixiang, you're in for a rough time."

"Baixiang, how about we go down and teach that bastard a lesson for you?" a few of the male students offered loudly.

"Forget it." Chen Baixiang shook her head. "I'd better go myself; otherwise, this will never end. From the look of it, my grandfather is genuinely furious. If I don't go get him, I'll definitely be grounded. I probably won't be able to leave the house for a month or two."

Everyone sighed. That would indeed be a problem.

Zhang Gong said, "Alright, I'll go with you to keep that kid from pestering you. Plus, I can act as a witness. If your grandfather blames you, I can explain things to him."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. Who do you think I, Chen Baixiang, am? That sneaky little tattletale... you think I'd give him the time of day? What a joke! Even if every other man on Earth dropped dead, I would never fall for him! What a loser!"

Influenced by her friends' words, Chen Baixiang was now firmly convinced that Yang Qi was the poor boy from her arranged betrothal, who had now come to take advantage of her. The woman was certainly full of herself.

"Hahaha, Baixiang is right!" Zhang Gong laughed heartily. "You're our school's campus belle! The kind of person you should be with is someone like Young Master Chuyun Xiong. Who knows, maybe he'll take a liking to you later today. So, we need to handle this cleanly. Here's the plan: I'll pretend to be your boyfriend. That should make that fellow give up hope."

"That's a great idea! With a teacher as knowledgeable and handsome as you, Mr. Zhang, acting as my boyfriend, that kid will surely be put to shame," Chen Baixiang said excitedly.

The two of them headed outside.

「Back at the gate.」

The security captain had called for backup: a friend named Fat Tiger. He was a disciple of the North City Martial Arts School and much stronger than the captain. A group of them once again surrounded Xiao Liu and Yang Qi.

"That's the son of a bitch who hit me!" the security captain snarled, pointing at Xiao Liu.

"Heh, looks like a trained fighter," Fat Tiger said, beckoning to Xiao Liu. "I'll handle this."

Xiao Liu frowned. "He struck first. I was just defending myself."

"Cut the crap. When I tell you to step up, you step up. If you won't, then I'll come to you!" Fat Tiger roared, throwing a punch at Xiao Liu.
