Chapter 101: 101, Bastard (First Update) _1 Chapter 101: 101, Bastard (First Update) _1 âBastard!â Old Master An was enraged, shouting angrily.
He had the audacity to install a pinhole camera.
He must really have guts of steel to do such a thing.
âMaster, please calm down, take care of your health.â Uncle Qiu quickly held onto Old Master An, his voice soothing. He knew that Xiang Cheng had thoroughly angered the Old Master this time.
Master An brushed off Uncle Qiuâs hand, glowering at Xiang Cheng, âYou unforgivable brute, who taught you to do such despicable and vulgar things?â
âGrandfather, I didnât do it. It was Jian Qing, she holds a grudge against me, and she purposely set me up.â Xiang Cheng frantically shook his head, adamantly denying, âYou must see through her lies, donât believe her one-sided accusations.â
Old Master Anâs eyes flashed with disappointment and anger, he raised his walking stick, aiming it furiously at Xiang Chengâs back.
âYou still wonât admit your wrong even now.â
âThudââ
âHissââ
Old Master An did not hold back; the rosewood stick heavily landed on his back. Xiang Cheng couldnât help but gasp, let out a muffled groan.
As the pain from his back spread, Xiang Chengâs face turned ghastly pale and beads of sweat dripped down his forehead.
Xiang Chengâs lips trembled from the pain, his eyes, bloodshot, stared at Old Master An, âIâŠI told you, IâŠdid notâŠâ
Old Master Anâs sharp eyes suddenly darkened, and he raised his cane once again, ready to strike Xiang Chengâs back.
âYou keep lying; I would rather beat you to death, you shameless creature.â
âMaster.â Uncle Qiu quickly stopped him.
Another hit like that, and Xiang Cheng might end up half-dead.
Despite being old, Master Anâs anger was raging, and his body was not keeping up; he was gasping for air.
âAqiu, donât⊠donât stop me.â
âMaster An, please calm down,â Master Quan chimed in, aiding Uncle Qiu in supporting Old Master An.
When Master An was this angry, no one could control him. Brushing them off, he staggered over to Xiang Cheng and thrust his cane into the air with effort.
Everyone had never seen Old Master An this angry. They reflexively closed their eyes as they saw the cane whirling in the air.
Xiang Chengâs face was ashen, and the guards restrained him. Unable to move, he watched the attacking cane, holding his breath, and instinctively closed his eyes.
The expected pain never came. Xiang Cheng opened his eyes, his gaze shifting upwards, and he was momentarily stunned when he saw the person blocking the cane.
âMiss Qing, why are you stopping me?â Seeing Jian Qing, Old Master An restrained his anger, his voice softening slightly.
Jian Qing released the cane and supported Old Master An, the corner of her lips curving into a smile, âI can handle this matter myself. Itâs not worth hurting your health over such a man.â
At her words, Old Master An cooled down, allowing her to lead him.
âUncle Qiu, get some tea for the Master.â Jian Qing helped Old Master An sit down and looked up at Uncle Qiu to give the command.
âYes.â Uncle Qiu responded.
âMiss Qing, IâŠâ Old Master An looked at Jian Qing a little awkwardly, the events were partly due to his negligence.
If Xiang Cheng had indeed succeeded, he could hardly dare to imagine the consequences. The An family owed her too much already. If something like this were to happen again, he didnât know how he could face her.
Jian Qing shook her head, interrupting him, âThis doesnât concern you, and thereâs no need to feel guilty. We agreed in the study room earlier, Iâve ordered to have the room on the fourth floor demolished. You shouldnât have any objections, right?â
Old Master An waved his hand, âDo as you please.â
Jian Qing arched her brow, âI hope you wonât interfere with what Iâm going to do next.â
