Chapter 1169: Chapter 1168: Coward

“Coward!” Huo Beijiang gave Jiang Yang a hard knock on the head, causing him pain as he glared fiercely at someone.

Sadly, there was no threat perceived and instead, Huo Beijiang responded with a mocking laugh.

Jiang Yang rubbed his nose, wanting to be angry, but he was incapable of it. He had psychological issues since childhood and couldn’t even communicate properly, let alone be angry.

“Brother-in-law, why did you bring me here?”

“To protect you, from now on you will live at my house.” Huo Beijiang directed Lu Jin away and took Jiang Yang towards the Huo Family’s house. They happened to run into the hurriedly returning Wei Fangyi, so he stood by the roadside and gave a salute.

“Hello, sir!” Huo Beijiang stood erect in a military posture, his voice booming.

Unfortunately, what Wei Fangyi heard seemed off.

“Sir, why are you in such a hurry? Did you find your son, or has something happened at home?” Huo Beijiang knew already; his wife had beaten Lu Dongxin, and now she had been carried back from the hospital and was causing a fuss at the Wei Family’s home!

Wei Fangyi’s concerns were doused with cold water upon hearing about the son.

It chilled him to the bone.

His hurried return was because he received a call saying that Dongxin’s ribs were broken in the military and that she had been insulted by over two thousand people. He was both shocked and furious when he received the call.

After all, who would dare to do such a thing to his niece whom he had loved for more than twenty years?

It was utterly outrageous.

Originally, he had some anger towards the Lu Family, and Wei Shufen, but Dongxin was young at the time and had not been involved. He wasn’t someone to misdirect his anger. Now, hearing she had suffered such unfair treatment and torment, he had forgotten all past grievances.

“I heard you were also there at the time?” Wei Fangyi’s expression was solemn, the long-term authority of someone in his position pressing down like a mountain.

Jiang Yang unconsciously stepped back, hiding behind Huo Beijiang.

“You, as a soldier, just watched it happen?”

Huo Beijiang found Wei Fangyi’s accusation amusing. The Wei Family was strange; their own son almost got killed by his enemy, and now they bothered to stand up for that enemy’s daughter.

If it were him, not stepping forward and adding a shot would have been kind enough.

“Reporting to you, sir, I have absolutely no knowledge of the incident you are referring to,” Huo Beijiang finished speaking and tugged at the corner of his mouth, revealing a lazy, mischievous smile with an ambiguous taste. “Sir, you better hurry home. Go ahead.”

Wei Fangyi was so infuriated he couldn’t respond and turned to walk to his own house. This young man had grown up playing with Wei Qin; Wei Qin supported him, and he really couldn’t handle him.

Once Wei Fangyi was far away, Huo Beijiang extended his hand and proactively held Jiang Yang’s hand, the two side by side.

“Brother-in-law, I don’t want to go,” Jiang Yang made his aversion to the Wei Family clear.

He had visited the Wei Family a few times, and not once had he left with good impressions.

“Don’t be scared!” Huo Beijiang soothed, “Your sister beat Lu Dongxin, and now Dongxin is definitely trying to tarnish your sister’s reputation. Let’s go support her.”

Hearing it was to support his sister, Jiang Yang’s attitude immediately changed; his eyes brightened, and his pace quickened.

“Brother-in-law, let’s hurry.”

Huo Beijiang watched as a soft light gradually suffused the depths of Jiang Yang’s eyes. No wonder his wife cherished her little brother so much; the siblings indeed shared a strong bond. Thinking of Jiang Zhuanzhuan, she truly was an anomaly within the Jiang Family.
