Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist's Uncle

Chapter 989: Become My Brother

The boss was about to hand over the lamb skewers when he retracted them in embarrassment. He smiled apologetically. “Sorry, I didn’t know. Young lady, you have to cherish your body. You can’t sacrifice your body for food!”

Ling Sheng turned around and glared at him angrily. Cheapskate! This huge liar! She was so mad. “My Third Master won’t behave like this!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a commotion not far away. What is all that racket about? Many people had gathered. Through the crowd, she saw one of them at a glance. Isn’t that her father?

Jun Shiyan’s back was facing the scene when he heard the commotion behind him. Before he could speak, he saw the young lady stop throwing a tantrum about eating lamb skewers. Like a gust of wind, she ran past him. When he looked over, his eyes suddenly darkened.

Huo Ci!

Nangong Lengyu!

Ling Sheng watched as the two people, who had been surrounded, started fighting after a disagreement. Her pupils constricted abruptly. She had taken a good look. The other valiant and handsome young man was her mother!

She was cross-dressing!

Huo Ci was pissed. This pretty boy in front of him was still going on and on about the matter. “I said that I didn’t steal this bag! I snatched it from the thief!”

Nangong Lengyu let out a cold laugh with a scornful expression. She asked the person who had lost her bag, “Auntie, look at him. Is he the one who stole your bag?”

“I told you it wasn’t me!” Huo Ci still had something to do, so he turned around to leave.

Nangong Lengyu grabbed him. “Where are you going? If you didn’t steal it, why are you running away? You don’t dare to wait for the police to arrive?”

Huo Ci turned his head around and bellowed irritably, “F*cking let go of me!”

“What if I don’t?” Nangong Lengyu had not expected a thief like him to be so arrogant. He still wanted to escape after stealing something? No way.

Huo Ci had not expected to meet such a troublesome person. He was handsome and rich. Which part of him looked like a thief? When his temper rose, his fist shot toward the pretty boy in front of him.

Before Ling Sheng could even get close, she saw the duo start fighting. Her father was ruthless. Now that he was in a foul mood, he was merciless with his attacks. Her mother’s skills were surprisingly good, and she was holding her own against him.

Jun Shiyan followed her. As soon as Sheng Sheng finished shouting, he saw her push through the crowd and rush in to stop the fight.

“Stop fighting!” Ling Sheng yelled as she was terrified from watching the fight between the duo. However, the two of them were still angry, so how could they possibly listen to anyone’s words?

Upon seeing Ling Sheng, Huo Ci’s eyes flashed with clear derision. This brat still knew to call out to him? Didn’t she leave with someone else? Isn’t she his little wife?

However, he had not expected the pretty boy opposite him to look so weak but be so ruthless and fierce when he fought and his blows were very heavy too. In a moment of distraction, he was punched in the eye. Fire suddenly shot out from his eyes.

Is he for real? Then, he’d better not blame him for being merciless!

Upon seeing the sudden change in Huo Ci’s aura, Ling Sheng’s heart skipped a beat. He was dangerous, dark, and bloodthirsty. Only then did she realize that her father had not used his full strength just now. Upon seeing him grab her mother’s shoulder and throw a punch with all his might, she shouted, “Dad, Mom, stop fighting!”

As soon as she finished speaking…

Huo Ci really did come to a stop. His fist was only one centimeter away from Nangong Lengyu’s face. The corners of his lips curled up in a provocative and arrogant smile. He grabbed her shoulder and mocked her. “Did you hear that, pretty boy? She’s calling you ‘Mom’!”

“How do you know she’s not calling you ‘Mom’?” Nangong Lengyu let out a snort and sized him up with a challenging look. “Since you dare to deny responsibility after stealing something, even the young girl knows that you’re not a man!”

She knew that when the lady had called out ‘Mom’, she had looked in her direction worriedly. Did she have a few loose screws at such a young age? Who was she calling ‘Mom’?

No, that’s not right!

She was dressed as a man now! She had even specially learned how to put on makeup and cut her hair short to make her look more like a man. She had thought that no one would see through her disguise. How had she known that she was a woman?!

“She calls me ‘Dad’.” Huo Ci raised his eyebrows and smiled mockingly. “If it’s not you, who’s she calling ‘Mom’? Look at your appearance. Your hair probably hasn’t even grown out[1] yet, right? Pretty boy, I advise you to go home and drink milk obediently!”

“Whether my hair is fully grown or not, I’m better than someone whose brain and morals haven’t even developed properly and comes out to embarrass himself as a thief!” Nangong Lengyu’s words were sharp as she turned her head to look at Ling Sheng. “Young lady, who were you addressing?”

Ling Sheng had not expected that her father and mother would meet in this way for the first time. She coughed and smiled apologetically. “I got the wrong person. I wasn’t calling any one of you. However, Big Brother, he’s not a thief. He’s someone I know. There must be a misunderstanding.”

As they were talking, the police had already arrived too. Behind them were Huo Ci’s lackeys and the real thief they had caught. His head was lowered, and he did not dare to look at them.

It turned out that Huo Ci had been strolling through the night market when he had seen a familiar-looking thief. The thief had stolen something from him before and had been beaten half to death after being caught by him. Upon seeing him flee in panic, with a bag in his hand too, he was convinced that he had returned to his old ways and chased after him.

The thief had been beaten up by him once before and got scared. Upon seeing him approach, he instantly threw the bag away and ran off. Huo Ci could not be bothered to chase after him as well, so he got his lackeys to catch him.

Who knew that he would be ‘caught’ by a pretty boy who made accusations of theft indiscriminately? He even insisted that he was a thief.

Everything was just a misunderstanding.

Nangong Lengyu was not an unreasonable person either. She looked at Huo Ci and said, “I’m sorry! I made a mistake.”

Huo Ci asked, “What kind of attitude is that? Is this the attitude that you should have since you wronged me?”

“I’ve already apologized! What else do you want?” Nangong Lengyu was still fuming with pent-up anger. She had apologized yet she was still getting berated. Upon seeing the obvious mockery in his eyes, she knew that he had done it on purpose. She gritted her teeth. “Don’t push your luck!”

“I’m good-natured, so I won’t stoop to your level. If you meet someone with a hot temper and accuse him, do you believe that he’ll kill himself in front of you?” Upon seeing the pretty boy’s face turn green from anger, Huo Ci was delighted.

Ling Sheng let out a low cough. How could he have the cheek to say that? What person with a hot temper? Why would he kill himself in front of her? Aren’t you saying all these just because you want her to take responsibility for you?!

“Then, what do you want?” This was the first time Nangong Lengyu had encountered such a scoundrel. And it was even on the first day she had arrived in China. This instantly lowered the expectations and favorability of China in her heart.

“I see that you’re pretty skilled. Become my brother! Don’t worry, you’ll definitely get a fair share of benefits if you follow me.” Huo Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, smiling arrogantly and recklessly. “I’m a nice person so I have all kinds of brothers. I just lack a pretty boy like you.”

[1] He’s saying that she’s still young and wet behind the ears.
