Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs

Chapter 73: Severing Relations

Tang Moling was furious. He looked at Mu Jingzhe and couldn’t help but say, “Why are you crying? It’s not your fault! Aren’t you strong? Hit them! Punch them until they become impotent!”

She had been so impressive in front of him previously!

No one had expected Tang Moling to suddenly lose his temper. They stared at him in shock.

Tang Moling didn’t notice and only looked at Mu Jingzhe with a dark expression. His gaze searched for a while before stopping on her arm.

“You even got injured?”

He gritted his teeth, worry and fury clouding his eyes. He picked up a tool that was lying aside and got ready to leave. “Come on, let’s go back and give them what they deserve.”

“What are you doing?” Mu Xue quickly pulled Tang Moling back.

Old Madam Mu also looked at him strangely. “It’s already been settled. Why are you so agitated?”

Under Mu Xue’s suspicious gaze and Mu Jingzhe’s strange gaze, Tang Moling slowly calmed down.

He was stunned. That’s right. Why was he so angry? Then, he came up with a reason.

“I just can’t stand seeing them bully people like that. Before they hit the dog, they ought to see who its master is.”

Old Madam Mu’s expression relaxed. “You just have to protect Xiao Xue from now on.”

Mu Xue lowered her head and smiled. Mu Teng’s face darkened. Who was the dog?

It took Tang Moling a long time to realize what he had said. He wanted to explain, but he didn’t know where to start.

He couldn’t help but look at Mu Jingzhe, but Mu Jingzhe didn’t look at him. She just frowned and looked outside, seemingly lost in thought.

He couldn’t help but frown. The people from the Shao Family really needed to be taught a lesson, especially that wretch Shao Qiyun.

As he was thinking about it, he heard Mu Xue say, “The rain doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. Will it be troublesome for you to go back?”

Only then did Tang Moling remember that he was supposed to leave after returning. He glanced at the smudge of red out of the corner of his eye and suddenly wondered if he should sleep here for the night.

Tang Moling was about to say something when he heard Old Madam Mu speak.

“What’s there to be afraid of when he has a car? It’s not like he’ll be walking. Moling has important matters to attend to. We can’t hold him up. It’s getting dark, so he should leave quickly.”

Tang Moling could only swallow his words and get in the car while Old Madam Mu and Mu Xue watched him leave.

Mu Jingzhe had already been pulled back to her room by Li Zhaodi and hadn’t come out yet.

The small room that Mu Jingzhe had originally stayed in had been converted to Mu Xue’s study by Old Madam Mu so she could grade the students’ assignments there.

Although Old Madam Mu wasn’t very willing, she didn’t stop them from converting the study back to Mu Jingzhe’s bedroom.

The sky turned completely dark. Old Madam Mu pulled a long face and said that she wanted to eat.

Mu Jingzhe didn’t have much of an appetite and Old Madam Mu had a sullen expression on her face while facing her at the dining table. However, she didn’t kick her out either. Compared to before, her attitude was actually quite good.

Mu Teng’s face darkened. When he returned to his room, he said that they would build a house after saving up more money.

In the future, whenever Mu Jingzhe returned, she would have her own room and wouldn’t have to put up with Old Madam Mu.

The Mu Family was quiet, but the Shao Family wasn’t calm at the moment because Shao Qiyang had returned.

Shao Qiyang was already drenched by the time he returned. He greeted them as soon as he reached the courtyard. “I’m back.”

In the past, whenever he came back, the house would always be lit up, and there would be warm food. However, there was nothing today.

No one answered.

Shao Dong had changed into dry clothes with his younger siblings and was just starting the fire. Little Bei and Xiao Wu had kept crying until they’d fallen asleep.

Shao Xi, Shao Nan, and Shao Dong were all pale from the cold. As soon as Shao Qiyang entered, he felt that something was amiss.

It was a mess outside, and there was something wrong with the children. Mu Jingzhe was also nowhere to be seen.

“What’s wrong? What happened? Where’s Jingzhe?”

“Uncle.” Shao Dong greeted him. He wasn’t delighted to see Shao Qiyang or anything.

After all, his return wouldn’t change anything.

“Uncle, go change your clothes first.”

“Tell me what happened first.”

Shao Xi recounted what had happened in a straightforward manner without adding much emotion.

However, Shao Qiyang’s eyes widened when he heard that. “How dare they… How dare they! How could they?!”

How could they treat Mu Jingzhe like that? Mu Jingzhe, whom he carefully cherished in his heart and didn’t even dare speak his mind to, had been treated this way by them?

Shao Qiyang’s eyes burned with fury as he turned around and left.

With a bang, he kicked open the door of the eldest branch’s house. Ignoring Big Brother Shao’s greeting, he went directly to pull Shao Qiyun up when he saw her warming up by the fire. He gave her a tight slap across the face.

This was Shao Qiyang’s first time hitting a woman and the first time he’d ever hit his younger sister.

Due to Zhao Lan’s favoritism toward her only daughter, the three Shao brothers had always treated Shao Qiyun quite well. But what had Shao Qiyun done in the end?

“You heartless thing!” Shao Qiyang scolded her as he gave her two more slaps.

“Third Brother, you’re crazy!” Shao Qiyun shrieked.

“Those two slaps were me hitting you on Second Brother’s behalf.” Then, he raised his hand and slapped her again. “This slap is from me.”

“Are you crazy? Why are you hitting your younger sister?” Zhao Lan quickly went to stop him, but no matter how hard she tried, Shao Qiyang wouldn’t let go of Shao Qiyun and kept hitting her.

“If I don’t teach her a lesson today, she’ll never know she was wrong.”

“Mom, quickly, help me!” Shao Qiyun nearly went mad from all those slaps. No matter how hard she punched and kicked, it was useless. She could only shout for Zhao Lan.

Seeing that Eldest Brother Shao was unable to stop the fight, Zhao Lan gritted her teeth, picked up a piece of firewood, and struck Shao Qiyang without rhyme or reason.

“Let go immediately. How dare you hit your younger sister!”

The firewood struck Shao Qiyang’s head and ears, causing him to bleed instantly.

Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao, who had been watching from afar, screamed, “Stop it! You’re going to beat him to death!”

Only after Zhao Lan stopped did she see the blood flowing down Shao Qiyang’s neck. She screamed and dropped the firewood.

However, even while he was beaten up by Zhao Lan, Shao Qiyang hadn’t let go of Shao Qiyun. He merely cast a glance at her and then went back to hitting Shao Qiyun.

“Do you admit you were in the wrong? Are you going to repent or not?”

Zhao Lan kept retreating. “He’s gone mad! This is crazy!”

“Qiyun, quick, apologize. Your brother is crazy.”

Shao Qiyun, who felt that she was about to be beaten to death, quickly apologized. “I was wrong. I won’t dare do it again.”

Only then did the panting Shao Qiyang stop. “Remember what you said today. If you dare do this again, I’ll really beat you to death.”

“I’m not dead yet. Who are you threatening? Shao Qiyang, you didn’t even ask what happened to your family. Instead, you only cared about hitting your sister. If we go to jail, I won’t let you off!”

Yang Qing and his men were locked up and would probably be taken to the police station tomorrow.

When that time came, Zhao Lan and Shao Qiyun probably wouldn’t be able to escape either because they were accomplices.

Zhao Lan and Shao Qiyun were angry and afraid to begin with, and their hearts were trembling in fear. In the end, when Shao Qiyang came back, he didn’t even help them.

Zhao Lan was so furious that she pounced on Shao Qiyang and hit him. “What kind of a son are you?”

Shao Qiyang shrugged off Zhao Lan. “I can’t do anything to you because you’re my mother, but this is the last time.”

Zhao Lan sneered, “Or what? Are you going to disown me?”

Shao Qiyang nodded, his eyes red. “Yes, I’ll disown you. You people are not fit to be humans. I’ll pretend that I don’t have any relatives like you in the future.”

Zhao Lan collapsed on the ground, looking enraged. “You won’t acknowledge your mother just because of Mu Jingzhe?”

She stepped forward and grabbed Shao Qiyang’s collar. “Did you hook up with Mu Jingzhe? I knew it. You two are shameless.”
