Chapter 765 My Husband, Li Yuan

Not someone to have a way with words, Lu Zhen pulled a long face as he protected Lu Guoguo behind him. His clear eyes faced the woman with stubbornness and callousness.

The drum instructor was a young female in her twenties. The woman’s aggressive berating put the instructor on the spot and at a loss of what to do. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Chen. It’s my fault. I’m in the wrong. I should’ve kept a better eye on the kids. It’s my responsibility. Can we forget about it and move past this?” “Forget about it and move past it?” The woman abruptly turned high-pitched while angrily pointing at Lu Zhen. “The little monster beat my son up, and you want me to let it go?”.

The female instructor was nearly pushed to tears. With the woman about to lay a finger on the boy, the female instructor immediately came in between them. “They’re kids. It’s not unusual for kids to fight. Lu Zhen is wrong to hit your son, but your son called him names. I’ll call Lu Zhen’s parents right now and we’ll talk, okay?”

Mrs. Chen was rich and mean. These two traits did not make a good combo. Her son, Chen Xiaonian, was the class bully and had always picked on the other kids.

Lu Zhen and Lu Guoguo were new additions to the class last week. The siblings were adorable, smart, and popular among the students and instructors.

Chen Xiaonian may be young, but he had a big nose. He stopped Lu Zhen right after class and labeled the latter a b*stard without a father in front of the whole class.

It was unclear where the kid learned the information from, but it got on Lu Zhen’s nerves. For an indifferent kid, Lu Zhen sure packed up a punch. He pressed Chen Xiaonian, who was older by three years, on the ground and completely laid it all on him. “Talk?” As if hearing the biggest joke of the century, the woman shoved the female instructor aside. “My son was beaten. How do you plan to talk it out? You said my son called him names? He was only telling the truth. Is he not a b*stard, a little monster, or fatherless?”

She then spat before looking at Lu Zhen and Lu Guoguo in disdain. She had seen these kids before at Old Madam Lu’s eightieth birthday celebration. They were children belonging to the Lu family’s young lady and God knows who the father was.

Lu Li’s presence was not welcome in the Lu family, so the woman was not afraid to step on the former’s toes. Forget talking it out, the woman intended to teach the little b*tch a lesson when Lu Li came over.

The female instructor was fresh to how society functioned. She was doing alright with teaching kids to play drums, but exchanging words was a whole new world to her. There was no way she could beat the woman. As her face turned flushed, the female instructor had no idea what to do. She resorted to the clumsiest way – using her body as a blockade and waiting for backup.

“Don’t give me that attitude. So you’re on the little monster’s side, huh?” Letting out a scoff, the woman aimed a slap at the instructor’s face.

The female instructor turned white as sheet as she was caught off guard by the sudden outburst of violence. She closed her eyes expecting the worst, but the pain never came. She opened her eyes to find a beautiful girl standing in front of her and holding the woman’s arm down.

“Who the hell are you? I’m warning you. Stay out of this.” The woman eyed Shen Xi down while feeling jealous of Shen Xi’s gorgeous looks.

The girl was more beautiful than the b*tch like Lu Li.

“Aunty.” Lu Guoguo had been staying strong and fighting off the tears, but the floodgate opened at the moment her family arrived. She ran to hug Shen Xi’s legs as she let out a heartbreaking cry. “I should introduce myself. My name is Shen Xi.” Shen Xi gazed at the woman and smiled. “This is my husband, Li Yuan. Guoguo and Lil’ Zhen are my big brother, Fu Qingli’s children. Nice to meet you.”

A minute ago, the woman had a few ideas in mind to give the girls the works. However, Shen Xi’s words put a block on her thoughts. Color drained from her complexion as her body shook violently.

No doubt she was familiar with these names. Families with a bit of influence and money, be it big or small, would want to get in on the major leagues – the Li and Fu families. These were the families that everyone in China yearned to rub shoulders with.

The woman was aware of that fact, but the female instructor was clueless. Looking at Shen Xi like a savior, the female instructor was grateful for the helping hand and hoped Shen Xi would put an end to the matter. “Guoguo’s Aunt, Mrs. Chen, let’s have a chat in the office.”

The classroom was not a good place to talk. The students and parents who were here for the next lesson could walk right through the door at any time. It was not very nice for them to witness the ruckus.

“No need for that. I’m prepared to reconcile.” The woman was unlike her cocky and arrogant self from minutes ago. She looked at the instructor. “My son is in the wrong. He shouldn’t have called names.”

With that, the woman glared at her son and nudged him. “Little rascal, where are your manners? How can you berate your classmate? Hurry up and apologize to Lu Zhen.”

Chen Xiaonian was baffled by his mom doing an instant 180. She was only defending him a minute ago. What went wrong within that minute? Since kids did not share the complex thoughts of adults, they tended to say what popped into their minds. “I’m not apologizing. He hit me. Mom, you have to get even for me. It hurts.”

“Aunty, he’s the bad boy. He insulted me and Brother first.” Angrily giving Chen Xiaonian the eye, Lu Guoguo refuted. Her brother hit him because he started it.

“My son is young and doesn’t know better. I’ll make sure he gets what he deserves.” The woman smiled awkwardly at Shen Xi while dying to beat the little rascal up. Her kid could not seem to get the hint. Still, she tipped him the wink and nudged him again. “You were wrong to start it.”

She was done for if the matter could not be resolved. The Chen family would go down the drain if the Fu and Li families held the matter against them. Spoilt rotten, Chen Xiaonian was not going to admit guilt. “Never! If you’re not on my side, I’m going home to tell Dad. Dad will hit you.”

The woman grabbed the kid by the collar with an ugly look on her face. “Say you’re sorry.”

Shen Xi watched the show like a passerby in intrigue. It was all good as Lu Zhen was not hurt. Nevertheless, the boy was amazing to single-handedly take down a child that was older than him.

Chen Xiaonian wailed even louder and was dead set on not apologizing. He kicked up a fuss like the spoiled brat that he was.
