Chapter 2071 - 174: Sound from the East, Action to the West
Shen You looked at Yan Xiaoxi. "Hello, sister-in-law."
Yan Xiaoxi, "..."
Going straight in with calling her sister-in-law, is that really okay?
She forced a smile, sat there and gave Shen You a grin. "Hi."
Yu Zimu, "That’s our East Sister-in-law all right, got guts."
Then the whole group chimed in behind him.
Jin Bo sat there completely at ease, but to Yan Xiaoxi everything tasted like cardboard! She felt like she was walking into fire and blades, and she didn’t even dare look at her brother’s face.
Huo Bei sat there without saying a single word from start to finish, his feelings a mess.
Because he kept thinking that with East Team’s stamina, he could grind Xiaoxi’s bones to dust.
Right now, he was feeling sorry for his little sister!
From now on, how was he supposed to tactfully talk East Team into taking it easy in that department?
It wasn’t until Huo Jinnan called "Huo Bei" that he snapped back to himself and looked at Huo Jinnan. "Sir."
Jin Bo, "Don’t call me ’sir’ anymore."
Huo Bei, "..."
Why did it feel like he was riding his sister’s coattails to the top? Really didn’t sit right!
Yu Zimu saw how bad Huo Bei’s complexion looked. "Huo Bei, why do you look so pale? Don’t tell me it’s aftereffects from the crash."
Qin Shaojin chimed in with concern, "He does look a bit off."
Qin Shaonan, "From now on Huo Jinnan’s supposed to call you ’brother.’ You can stop working and just rest up more."
Huo Bei, "..."
Yan Xiaoxi, "..."
The two of them were on an emotional roller coaster, Yan Xiaoxi even more so.
Afraid her face would suddenly go red, she made an excuse to duck into the bathroom and hide.
Jin Bo glanced over, then fixed his eyes on Yu Zimu. "From this moment on, zip it. You’re not allowed to bully Huo Bei or Xiaoxi."
Yu Zimu, "..."
He was clearly flattering them, how was that bullying?
Jin Bo, "Not convinced?"
Yu Zimu, "Convinced. Totally convinced!"
Thinking about East Team’s skills, even Nan-ge and Huo-ge together couldn’t take him; he was a full-on super Demon King!
He was very convinced! Unless he was begging to get smacked around! So far, he wasn’t that suicidal yet!
Un... unless one day he got cuckolded by two women.
At that thought, he snuck a glance at Qin Shaonan.
Qin Shaonan happened to catch his look.
Yu Zimu guiltily snapped his gaze back.
Qin Shaonan hooked an arm around his shoulder. "What’s up?"
Yu Zimu gave a fawning grin. "Nothing at all."
Starting today, he was going to turn over a new leaf, train hard, become a late-blooming martial arts prodigy—like a brick in a wall, rising to the top later!
Otherwise how was he supposed to sweet-talk anyone in the future!
Thinking that, he glanced at the oldest kid in the bunch, Huo Xiaowu.
If someday even Huo Xiaowu ended up tougher than him, where would he put his face?
Jin Bo looked over at Qin Shaonan and Huo Jinnan. "We’ll talk about something else in a bit."
Huo Jinnan and Qin Shaonan, "..."
Who used having hard fists as an excuse to threaten people like that!
Everyone was a bit confused though—what was going on here?
Only Qin Shaojin had good enough eyesight to see, through the shirt, two scratch marks on Jin Bo’s body.
Those were clearly—
Jin Bo’s expression shifted just a fraction, and he was already caught.
Jin Bo looked at Qin Shaojin. "Watch your eyes."
Qin Shaojin, "..."
He quickly looked away, not daring to stare any longer.
Beside him, Wen Nuan sat there puffing out her cheeks; her household’s top male lead had just been called out.
She snuck a glance at Jin Bo. "Mr. Mayor, you’re bullying people."
Jin Bo gave a light cough. "Nothing like that, we’re all our own people here. Just joking, just joking."
The words had barely left his mouth before the junior troops charged in.
"You bully my mom, I hit you."
Xiaoshi’er ran over and gave Jin Bo’s leg a smack.
Then Xiaoshiyi came over and gave a little smack too. "You bully my mom, I hit you."
And Xiaoshi also ran over. "You bully my mom, I hit you."
