"Mm, I know. Donât stay up too late, get some sleep early."
Ye Qing was quite excited tonight and didnât make things difficult for Mei Langchi. After all, at this moment, he wasnât in the mood, even if he wanted to, he didnât know if he had the strength.
She kept teasing Mei Langchi like this all day, just wanting to see his awkward expression.
After escaping from Li Kaiying, she had another surgery down there, and her menstrual cycle is still irregular.
But the banquet was over, Han Yi and the others must be leaving.
At that time, being this close, who knows how long sheâll have to wait.
It seems she needs to come up with a plan.
...
"You go back, Iâll go in myself," at Tao Familyâs doorstep, Tao Jia looked at the lights in the house, seeing them dimmed, she knew everyone was asleep, and sighed with relief, urging Mei Lang Jun to hurry back.
"Mm, Iâll come early tomorrow. If anything happens, just blame it on me, alright?" Mei Lang Jun pulled Tao Jiaâs hand and smiled.
"How would I blame you? Should I say you forced me to go?" Tao Jia glared at him, trying to pull her hand away.
Mei Lang Jun chuckled, looked around to see the dim lights, no one around, and boldly leaned towards Tao Jia, his lips about to touch hers.
Suddenly, a flashlight appeared from behind, accurately shining on his lips, which were about to touch Tao Jiaâs.
Frightened, the two quickly split apart.
"Oh, very good, looks like what I heard today was true?" The speaker was none other than Tao Jiaâs dad.
"Dad..."
"Hmph, you go stand aside."
As soon as Tao Jiaâs dad finished speaking, their courtyard gate opened, and out came Tao Jiaâs two brothers.
One stretched out his hand, cold-faced, and pulled Tao Jia away.
"Hey, big brother, you..."
"Go inside."
Mei Lang Jun rubbed his face at this time, seeing the originally dim ground floor suddenly brightened.
At the door, Tao Familyâs women, even children, all came out.
He was being surrounded, like catching a turtle in a jar. The men of Tao Family were aggressive.
It was quite unlucky for him, and the Tao Family men were all home today, having taken collective leave.
"Uncle Tao," Mei Lang Jun quickly changed his strategy, smiling at Tao Jiangfeng.
"Hmph, you boy are quite daring, bullying my daughter at my door."
"No, no, young nephew wouldnât dare."
"Dad, he didnât..." Tao Jia hurriedly tried to explain from the courtyard, but her Saozi covered her mouth.
"Jiajia, you better be honest. Watch me and your dad not straighten you out in a while." Tao Jiaâs mom pointed at her daughter, a look of hating iron for not becoming steel.
Beside her, her Saozi smiled apologetically, looking helpless.
Tao Jia was so anxious, her eyes red, almost wanting to give her Saozi an over-the-shoulder throw. She knew her dad and her two brothersâ combat abilities; even if Mei Lang Jun was powerful, he wouldnât be a match for the three of them.
"Oh, my Jiajia. Xiao Bing, stop holding the child, just donât let her out." Old Mrs. Tao cherished her granddaughter.
"Mom, donât interfere with this matter, you must listen to me this time."
There was only one daughter in the family, raised like a little princess. The child was outstanding, never worried the family.
But when it came to marriage, the whole family was worried sick. Back then, agreeing to the Mei Family was a decision made to help her daughter. The child was always obedient, and didnât oppose it; originally she thought marrying into a good family. But less than two years later, such things happened, the child was unhappy and suffered grievances. She felt guilty.
Although Mei Langchi received the punishment he deserved, it couldnât erase the Tao familyâs hatred.
Although her daughter was divorced now, the future marriage wouldnât be great, but the Tao Family still treasured her. Anyone who came to propose marriage, introducing rotten marriages to Jiajia, she would rudely reject.
Her precious daughter deserved the best.
Old Mrs. Tao saw her daughter-in-law being so tough, and couldnât say anything.
"Junzi, you know about our Mei and Tao Families. I clearly tell you today, I wonât let my daughter enter your Mei Family again. That day, your dad and I made things clear."
"Uncle Tao, I understand, but you canât judge all Mei Family people because of Mei Langchi. I truly love Xiao Jia, Uncle Tao, please be assured, I can swear that I will never let Tao Jia down."
"You better not swear here. Tonight, I heard about your Mei Familyâs affairs. Your familyâs style leaves me, Tao Mou, speechless and very impressed. Our Xiao Jia is not fortunate enough to enter your Mei Family. Thank you for bringing Xiao Jia back today. You may leave. However, I warn you, if I see you with Xiao Jia in the future, it wonât be as polite as today."
"Uncle Tao, itâs too late, I and Xiao Jia canât be separated. I love her. I wonât marry anyone but Tao Jia in this lifetime. You stopping us from being together itâs your matter, I wonât give up."
"Youâre ignoring what I say now?" Tao Jiangfeng frowned slightly, a bit displeased.
And Mei Lang Junâs next words made him even angrier, "Yes."
"Hmph, seems like you wonât stop unless you see the coffin?"
"If I canât marry Tao Jia, even facing a coffin, I wonât give up."
Mei Lang Junâs words undoubtedly provoked the Tao Family.
"Donât cry until you see the coffin, well, today Iâll see how tough your mouth is." Tao Jiaâs elder brother snorted, went up and punched Mei Lang Jun, but was swiftly dodged.
Tao Familyâs second brother saw this and didnât give Mei Lang Jun any chance to react, instantly kicking him.
He successfully dodged this too.
After a punch and a kick, Tao Jiaâs two brothers started fighting with Mei Lang Jun.
Tao Jiaâs brothers were among the toughest in the military, their martial arts fierce.
Mei Lang Jun just braced himself and faced two, fighting for over ten minutes without a victor.
It ended with Tao Jiaâs second brotherâs mistake taking a punch from Mei Lang Jun.
Because of this punch, Tao Jiaâs brothers suddenly took things seriously. Each punch and kick was extremely fierce, taking a hit accidentally would disable oneâs ability to stand.
Tao Jia watched anxiously in the courtyard as the fight continued, clearly Mei Lang Jun would suffer.
But shortly after Tao Jiaâs worry, all three suffered some minor injuries.
Mei Lang Jun directly knocked her second brother to the ground, unable to stand for a while.
And Tao Lao Da suddenly swung back and directly hit Mei Lang Jun into the wall. A muffled groan.
Clearly, this hit was heavy.
Tao Jia wanted to shout, but Tao Mom gave a look, forcing her to swallow back her words. She was afraid speaking for Junzi would irritate Dad, making him hit harder.
"Old Tao, this is too much, bullying because I donât have as many sons as you, right?" Behind Tao Jiangfeng, Mei Shuqing came over with his wife, followed by Han Yi.
Han Yi had just slept not long ago, woken up by Mei Shuqing, guessing Mei Lang Jun was in trouble. He guessed right.
Tao Jiangfeng saw Mei Shuqing coming, not surprised, turned his head to glance, "What if my son is more than yours, dissatisfied? Have more yourself, or else learn from your dad and big brother, do little âtricksâ behind others."
"Hmph, youâre out of luck. Iâm not doing just one, I came up with three." Mei Shuqing said, pointing at Han Yi beside him, "Who doesnât know in this courtyard, I have a goddaughter and godson. See? I even got an extra son-in-law."
Tao Jiangfeng glanced at Han Yi, then sneered, not commenting.
But still made his front sons stop.
"Mei Laoer, itâs not me bullying your son, itâs your son being ungrateful, insisting on clinging to my daughter. Stubborn head, just like you, insisting on a beating."
"Stop telling me these useless things, isnât it just disagreeing with my son and your daughterâs matter? Youâve seen it too, my son wonât marry anyone but your daughter. No matter how long weâve known each other, you wonât let my lineage end, do you?"
