Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2336 - 2272: I Dare Make Your Household Restless

Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Gao Wei attempts to flee after harassing Kuang Yunxian, but he is quickly overtaken by Chiang Xiao’s superior speed. Ignoring his status and threats, Chiang Xiao delivers a brutal physical beating that leaves him disoriented and bleeding. She reveals that she is the owner of the teahouse he previously vandalized and demands an exorbitant sum of fifty-eight thousand yuan in damages. Faced with her overwhelming strength and a threat to his teeth for every hundred yuan unpaid, the terrified Gao Wei is forced to confront the consequences of his actions.

"Why don’t you just rob me outright? When did I ever break that much of your stuff?"

Gao Wei's face twisted with agony as he shrieked, blood spraying from his mouth with every word.

"Isn't that exactly what I'm doing right now?"

Heh heh.

Chiang Xiao shrugged her shoulders, her expression mirroring the roguish smirk that Meng Xinian often wore.

She cracked her knuckles and warned, "If you have the nerve, feel free to target my teahouse again. But let me be clear—you better show up in person. If you send anyone else, I’ll strip them buck naked and toss them onto your mother’s bed! If one comes, I’ll strip one; if two come, I’ll strip the pair! If you dare to interfere with my business, I dare to turn the Gao Family’s life into a living hell!"

Gao Wei nearly choked on another mouthful of blood.

He wondered if his ears were playing tricks on him.

How could Chiang Xiao even conceive of such a scandalous idea?

Where did she get the audacity to speak with such arrogance?

"Furthermore, don't bother mentioning your father or your family lineage; I’m just so terrified," Chiang Xiao said as she closed the distance between them, her voice dropping to a low whisper. "Even if your father were the Heavenly Emperor himself, you need to be alive for his backing to matter. Do you believe I can end you without using a blade? Once you're dead, let's see if your father is of any use to you then!"

As she spoke, she applied heavy pressure to his body.

Gao Wei let out a scream of pure torment. In an instant, it felt as though every bone in his frame had shattered. A terrifying sensation took over, as if his skin and flesh were detaching from one another. He collapsed to the ground, drenched in a cold sweat so thick it looked as though he had just been pulled from a river.

He felt the cold shadow of death looming over him.

His body had completely failed him; he couldn't even manage to twitch a single finger.

Terrified to the point of wishing for death, Gao Wei was paralyzed.

He lacked the strength to lift his head to look at Chiang Xiao. Slumped in a broken heap on the ground, the only things within his line of sight were her black leather shoes.

At that moment, Chiang Xiao crouched down and spoke once more, "You should think very carefully before you ever attempt to set foot in the Youqingwei Teahouse again."

Chiang Xiao is a devil!

Gao Wei’s world spun into darkness, and he lost consciousness.

Just as he blacked out, Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng approached. They glanced down at Gao Wei and asked, "Xiao Chiang, what’s the deal with him?"

Looking at Gao Wei now, he was truly a pathetic sight—badly beaten with a pair of black eyes, a fractured nose, and lips swollen like sausages. He was so soaked in sweat and grime that he was practically unrecognizable.

Chiang Xiao had truly been ruthless; even his own parents would struggle to identify him now.

Clapping the dust off her hands, Chiang Xiao remarked, "He’s got a small heart; he fainted from pure cowardice."

Mmm. Releasing a long breath of turbid air, she finally felt a sense of refreshment.

"He has that little courage?" Guan Tiezhu muttered, looking at the man with pure disdain.

Chiang Xiao glanced back the way they came. "Where are the others?"

"They’re all still back there."

Those thugs were all sprawled on the ground moaning in pain, unable to stand up.

Chiang Xiao directed, "Let’s head back to the teahouse. When you pass the security office, one of you should stop in to file a report. Just tell them you happened to see some people lying there while you were walking by."

"Understood."

Meanwhile, Du Jinruo was carefully assisting Kuang Yunxian as he sat up in bed.

Kuang Yunxian had gauze covering his lips and his hand was heavily bandaged. Having removed his outer coat, several other injuries were revealed that Du Jinruo hadn't noticed before.

Even the simple act of sitting up caused his wounds to pull, making him grunt in agony.

"Yunxian, where is the pain?"

Kuang Yunxian looked into Du Jinruo’s tear-filled eyes and forced a bitter smile. "I'm sorry. It has been said since ancient times that scholars are mostly useless, and it seems that remains true today. I really am far too pathetic."
