Chapter Thirty-Four What is its origin

He handed the divorce papers to Yu Ziqing with a fawning expression, and asked tremblingly, “Boss, is there anything else you need?”

Yu Ziqing glanced at the three buck-toothed men and said indifferently, “Take this bastard away and get lost! But remember, if this bastard comes back here to cause trouble again, I will not only break his legs, but also your legs, so that they can’t be reconnected!”

Yu Ziqing couldn’t protect Zhu Lizhen 24/7, nor could he kill her. So the only option was to tie the three buck-toothed men together by taking joint responsibility. He knew that the three buck-toothed men could wear down this bastard.

Sure enough, the three buck-toothed men shuddered upon hearing this, then patted their chests and said, “Boss, don’t worry, if this kid dares to run this way, we’ll make him regret being human for the rest of his life!”

Yu Ziqing nodded and said, “Remember what you said today, and get out!”

The three buck-toothed men were overjoyed and hurriedly dragged Xu Sheng out of the steamed bun shop without daring to linger.

Only after getting into the taxi did the three of them breathe a sigh of relief, saying, “Damn it, we almost lost our lives.”

At this point, the buck-toothed man remembered that Xu Sheng was the one who caused all of this, and he became so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Xu Sheng on the head, cursing, “Damn it, you, you almost killed me!”

Still not satisfied with cursing, she slapped him on the forehead again, “You little brat, remember this! If you dare to cause trouble for your wife—no, no, your ex-wife—I’ll chop you up alive!”

Xu Sheng, who had been beaten so badly that he shrank back and didn’t dare to utter a sound for a long time, finally asked cautiously after the buck-toothed man had stopped, “Buck-toothed brother, just who is that pretty boy?”

“Where did you come from? What do you mean, ‘where did I come from?’ How would I know?!” Bucktooth slapped Xu Sheng hard on the head again.

Xu Sheng was dumbfounded. He didn’t know anything about their background, yet they were so afraid. What kind of situation was this?

They say even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, and Xu Sheng was truly pathetic tonight. He didn’t even know who his opponent was, yet he was beaten up like this. I don’t know where he got the courage, but he blocked the buck-toothed man’s hand with one hand and roared, “Weren’t you guys so tough? Weren’t you with Brother Tiger? You’re so scared of this guy because you don’t even know who he is!”

Bucktooth paused for a moment, then immediately started punching and kicking Xu Sheng. Chicken Nest, sitting on the other side, also started kicking him wildly, making the driver’s hands tremble uncontrollably.

Only when Xu Sheng’s voice became hoarse from groaning and groaning did Bucktooth and Chicken Nest stop, panting heavily.

“Where did you come from? You think you know? Old man, let me tell you, even Tiger Brother still has bandages on his shoulder. Do you know who did it?” Bucktooth asked, panting.

Xu Sheng was terrified of being beaten again and was afraid of getting beaten again if he gave a bad answer, so he shook his head.

“It’s this little pretty boy, him! He single-handedly wiped out eighty-two of us. Eighty-two of us, you understand? They’re all lying on the ground. If I hadn’t been smart, I’d be in limbs with bandages by now! You, you actually sent me to cause him trouble! You, tell me, don’t you deserve to be hit!” The buck-toothed man slapped Xu Sheng again in a huff, his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and admiration.

Xu Sheng was stunned. He hadn’t even felt the pain when the buck-toothed man slapped him. It took him a while to come to his senses. He shuddered and asked hesitantly, “He… he’s really that good at fighting?”

“You, you go get a knife and try cutting him. See if you can make a mark. I’m telling you, if we use a watermelon knife to cut him on the back, he’ll be fine, the blade will just bend!”

“Invulnerable to swords and spears!” Xu Sheng gasped, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. Was this still a pretty boy? He was practically indestructible.

“Old man, I’m warning you again, Qian, don’t you dare try anything with your wife again, or I’ll really cripple you!” The buck-toothed man patted Xu Sheng’s face and warned him again with a fierce look in his eyes.

“Thank you, Zi…Qing!” In the steamed bun shop, Zhu Lizhen lowered her head, not daring to look at Yu Ziqing. She was even afraid to call him Ziqing, wondering if it was too presumptuous. But she didn’t know how to address Yu Ziqing.

“Go check on our daughter, see if she’s been frightened,” Yu Ziqing said softly, shaking her head to herself.

Zhu Lizhen suddenly remembered her daughter and hurriedly ran into the back room, stumbling along the way.

Xiao Wenwen sat blankly on the ground, her eyes just as vacant and filled with fear as before.

“Baby, baby, you must have been so scared! Mommy’s here, Mommy’s here!” Zhu Lizhen hugged her daughter tightly, tears streaming down her face, and said, her voice choked with sobs.

However, Xiao Wenwen seemed to have no idea what her mother was saying; her eyes remained wide open, blank and terrified.

Looking at the pitiful mother and daughter, Yu Ziqing sighed inwardly, walked over, and said softly, “I’ll put her to sleep!”

“Thank you!” This time, Zhu Lizhen finally raised her head. Although her gaze towards Yu Ziqing was still somewhat timid, it was filled with gratitude from the depths of her soul.

Yu Ziqing took Xiao Wenwen from Zhu Lizhen. When his gaze swept over Zhu Lizhen, he saw a large bruise on her fair arm and felt a pang of pity.

Watching Yu Ziqing soothe his daughter to sleep like a father, Zhu Lizhen found it hard to reconcile this man with the cold-blooded man who had terrified the thugs. Her fear gradually subsided, and her gaze became somewhat wistful. She so wished such heartwarming scenes could happen every day in this simple, cramped room.

“Alright, she’s asleep!” Yu Ziqing’s gentle and pleasant voice woke Zhu Lizhen from her daze.

Wenwen was placed on the bed, and the room became quiet, with only the two of them sitting face to face.

Two completely different and contradictory Yu Ziqings alternated in Zhu Lizhen’s mind. What kind of man was he? Who was he? What did he do? A series of questions lingered in her mind, and she couldn’t shake them off.

“Does it hurt a lot?” Yu Ziqing’s voice interrupted Zhu Lizhen again.

Yu Ziqing’s question made Zhu Lizhen feel waves of pain all over her body. The pain made her gasp for breath and her brows furrowed from time to time.

“Mmm!” Zhu Lizhen nodded and responded softly, but she didn’t dare to look up at Yu Ziqing.

“Let me see.” Seeing Zhu Lizhen’s pained expression, Yu Ziqing hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Zhu Lizhen’s fair and slender arm, gently stroking the bruised area.

Zhu Lizhen’s body stiffened visibly for a moment, then she lowered her head even further, a blush spreading from her fair face all the way down her slender neck, her heart pounding wildly at that moment.

She was experienced and knew what it meant when a man’s hand touched a woman’s arm like that. However, apart from her heart racing, her body starting to feel hot, and a little disappointed, she didn’t seem to have any intention of resisting. She didn’t resist either physically or mentally.

Zhu Lizhen knew perfectly well that if this young man wanted her now, she wouldn’t be able to refuse, and she would never ask him to take responsibility afterward; she would treat it all as a dream. Besides, even if she wanted to refuse, how could a weak woman like her resist a man who could make thugs tremble with fear?
