Chapter 1871: Chapter 1871: Chen Bing, Do You Remember Me?
Chen Bing cried out, and after a while realized that no punches were falling, only then did he raise his head in fear and glare over.
As soon as he looked, he saw Third Luâs fierce expression, and the exquisite embroidery on his belt. His mind couldnât wrap around it; he hadnât figured out how he had offended such a group of people.
These people were clearly not ordinary folks; looking at their attire and skills, they must have some wealth.
The courtyard was in chaos, the Chen family broke free from Ying Xiâs grasp and dove towards Chen Bing.
Ms. Pan looked up and began to curse furiously, "You bastards, if anything happens to my husband, our Pan family wonât let you go."
Chen Bing grabbed her, panting heavily, his face full of anger too.
The old lady, supported by Shu Yu, walked up to him and defiantly kicked him hard.
"Ah..." No one expected the old lady would actually use her foot; she landed a solid kick.
Ms. Pan glared angrily, standing up to rush forward. She couldnât beat those young and sturdy men, but surely she could handle a mere old woman?
But just as she began to move, Ying Xi grabbed hold of her hand.
"Ouch, ouch, let go, let go."
Ying Xi pushed her backward, and Ms. Pan fell into Chen Qiuâs arms.
She was filled with hatred and whispered to Chen Qiu, "These people are up to no good and there are many of them. Weâre bound to suffer losses. You should quickly find Young Master Xun, didnât you say he has connections in the Office? Get him to come save us."
Chen Qiu nodded repeatedly, "Alright, Iâll go right away."
She lifted her gaze and cautiously glanced at the Lu family, sneaking toward the door.
Shu Yu noticed and roughly guessed she was going to fetch reinforcements.
But she only glanced, this one look made Chen Qiuâs heart almost leap out. Yet Shu Yu did not stop her, and she quickly ran off.
Shu Yu chuckled disdainfully, withdrawing her gaze.
The old lady, having kicked Chen Bing, was finally less agitated. She glared at the man sprawled on the ground and coldly shouted, "Chen Bing, you ungrateful dog, do you remember me?"
Oh my, another scoundrel?
Many neighbors had snuck in to watch the commotion; since no fighting was happening anymore, there wasnât any danger, now it was time to hear some gossip.
Even the Pan family members frowned as they looked at Chen Bing, then turned to the old lady.
The old lady and Chen Bing were around the same age, having endured a lot earlier in life. Yet in recent years, she had steadily taken care of herself. Besides, her mood was pleasant, with Hua Xian attending to her, Zhao Xiâs prescriptions adjusting her health, and her children and grandchildren beside her being dutiful.
Life was getting smoother; naturally, she looked much younger.
Moreover, dressed exquisitely, standing there she actually appeared much younger than Ms. Pan.
The neighbors immediately thought astray, did the old lady have some past relationship with Chen Bing?
Even Ms. Pan turned to Chen Bing, "Who, who is she?"
Chen Bing didnât know her at all, squinting and examining the old lady for a while.
After all, it had been over thirty years since they last saw each other, their appearances had changed, and they hadnât met many times back then either. Now looking suddenly, how could he recognize her? Let alone associate her with the Fang family.
Feeling utterly wronged, facing Ms. Pan and the Pan familyâs scrutinizing gaze, he loudly argued, "I donât know you at all, youâve got the wrong person, Iâve truly taken a beating for nothing."
