Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 616 - Chapter 616 Chapter 616 Watching Intently

Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Watching Intently Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Watching Intently Ruan Xinzhi swaggered over to Mo Daoyan with a contemptuous look in his eyes and let out a cold sneer, “What’s up? Playing coy today? Weren’t you really tough that day, chasing after me with a stick? Come on, hit me now. Here, I’ll give you a stick, hit me as hard as you can.” As he spoke, he actually handed his stick to Mo Daoyan.

Mo Daoyan was no fool, of course he understood that Ruan Xinzhi was speaking sarcastically.

Moreover, with a dozen strong men staring at him fiercely, he dared not make a move! So, he stood there meekly, not daring to budge an inch.

“Oh! Haven’t seen you in a few days and you’ve turned into a shrinking turtle?” Ruan Xinzhi stepped forward and shoved him several times, his attitude overbearing and aggressive.

Mo Daoyan was pushed several steps backward by the shoves, glancing at him, he was actually quite annoyed inside. But since the other party had the overwhelming advantage, with some of them even holding knives and swords, he felt intimidated and had to keep his mouth shut, bowing his head in submission.

Ruan Xinzhi became even more arrogant, reaching out his hand and slapping Mo Daoyan’s face hard, boasting, “Brother, I advise you to just obediently compensate with the silver. As the saying goes, ‘Life is short, no amount of money can save your legs.'” He finished, glancing meaningfully at Mo Daoyan’s thigh.

Mo Daoyan’s face was red with the slap marks yet he did not dare to make a sound, shrinking his shoulders and lowering his head, a picture of misery.

As the youngest son, Mo Daoyan had always been especially pampered by Old Lady Mo. After he got married, Madam Ruan proved to be fertile, giving birth to a son on her first pregnancy, which secured their status in the family even more. He had never suffered such treatment as he did today.

Seeing her husband’s distress, Madam Ruan felt it deeply and couldn’t help but burst into harsh scolding at Ruan Xinzhi, “Ruan Xinzhi, you old bastard, don’t go too far. What right do you have to beat my husband, and you even want us to pay money! Let me tell you, no… mmmhh…”

She couldn’t finish her sentence before Old Lady Mo quickly covered her mouth tightly. Biting her teeth, she whispered into her ear, “Do you want to get your husband killed?”

“Mmmhh…!” Madam Ruan couldn’t speak, but she nodded her head vigorously.

“If you don’t want to get him killed, then shut up.”

“Mmmhh.” Madam Ruan nodded.

Only then did Old Lady Mo let go of her hand that was covering Madam Ruan’s mouth.

“What’s the matter? Madam Ruan, your husband’s life is in my hands, and you still dare to get in my face, do you want me to chop off his leg?” The village head left, and Ruan Xinzhi started posturing again.

“No, no, big brother, don’t listen to this nagging woman. Hehe…” Old Lady Mo forced a smile.

“So you mean you’re willing to pay the money, huh!”

“Compensate, compensate, isn’t it just twenty taels of silver? We will compensate,” she thought to herself – discretion is the better part of valor, just agree to it first.

“Cut the crap and hand it over quick,” Ruan Xinzhi extended his hand toward Old Lady Mo impatiently, looking like he meant business.

“Hehe…!” Old Lady Mo put on a fake smile, showing no sign of doing anything.

“What’s up? You trying to amuse me here?” Old Lady Mo didn’t seem to be reaching for the money, just staring at him with a foolish grin. Ruan Xinzhi got impatient, his face darkened, and he turned to the dozen strong men and said, “Brothers, don’t just wait stupidly, give this kid a good thrashing first.”

“Alright!”

The dozen men were all local ruffians who enjoyed bullying others when they had nothing better to do. Keen for action, at Ruan Xinzhi’s command, they rushed towards Mo Daoyan, surrounding him and beating him mercilessly.

“Ouch! Ouch!”

The cries of pain from Mo Daoyan kept coming from within the group.

Old Lady Mo and Madam Ruan were dumbfounded. They couldn’t believe that Ruan Xinzhi was really ordering people to beat up Mo Daoyan.
