Chapter 117: Second Cousin is Fierce, Third Cousin is Even Worse

Qin Ruan was stunned by the scene before her.

The young man was quite brave. Knowing a little about Hou Yunjiao and not much less about him, Qin Ruan was sure that this guy was going to get a beating.

"Cousin, I'm really sorry. I won't fight anymore. This time, I mean it, absolutely!"

The young man ran away, dodging Hou Chuan's pursuit, while begging for mercy from Hou Yunjiao.

Hou Yunjiao's face turned black.

"Qiao Xi! Stop right there!"

"But, cousin, can you promise me that Hou Chuan won't send me to the Punishment Hall?"

Daring to bargain, Hou Yunjiao said coldly, "If you don't stop right now, I guarantee you won't see the sun tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi knew there was still room for negotiation, so he stopped and leaned on the sofa to catch his breath.

His name was Hou Qiaoxi, or rather, Qiaoxi Doyl. He was the only son of Hou Yunjiao's younger aunt, who had lived in the presidential courtyard for many years because of Hou Yunjiao's's grandfather.

At that time, Aunt Hou was famous for being a female bully in the courtyard, and all the boys were beaten by her and called her grandma. She was invincible in the courtyard.

After she grew up, Aunt Hou fell in love, got married, and went abroad with her husband, who had some influence there. Mr. Doyl was able to fall in love and marry Aunt Hou because the two of them got to know each other through fighting.

As the son of this couple, Qiaoxi received education since childhood that fist fighting was the key to solving problems. He caused trouble since he was young, always fighting and causing trouble.

This child was completely spoiled.

Grandfather Hou saw that if he didn't discipline Qiaoxi more, his character would never change. So he took advantage of the vacation and had the young couple send the child back to the ancestral home for supervision and correction.

But since he returned, Qiaoxi had been causing trouble every day.

Hou Yunjiao's dark eyes stared at Qiaoxi, who was lying on the back of the sofa, with a cold and menacing expression.

"As a man, you should do what you say. How many times have you promised me, and how many times have you been able to keep your promise?"

Qiaoxi was speechless, and his expression showed no concern.

Seeing his indifferent attitude, the anger in Lord Hou Yunjiao's heart continued to surge.

"The fist is not the key to solving problems. If everything could be solved by relying on it, those in power sitting at the top now could obtain it simply by using force. 

Do you think that being able to fight is an advantage? Problems solved with fists are superficial. Do you know who solves the underlying problems? In the past, it was your mother, father, the Doyle family in M country, and your grandfather and uncles in the capital. They wiped your butt and cleaned up after you, including the entire Hou family."

"Why so serious?" Qiaoxi pouted and exclaimed.

It was the first time since returning home that he had seen Third Cousin so serious, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

His grandfather, uncles, and eldest cousin were too imposing, always lecturing him.

Second Cousin was even more brutal. If he didn't comply, he could be hung up and beaten at any time.

Only Third Cousin appeared to have a mild temperament and never lectured him.

Today, Qiaoxi had already sensed that the future would be increasingly difficult for him in the Hou family.

Hou Yunjiao snorted, "It seems like you didn't listen to a single word. Since you think that problems can be solved by relying on your fists, go to the punishment hall. I believe you'll like it there."

"Don't, Cousin!" 

Qiaoxi immediately stood up straight and widened his eyes. "I won't go! A few days ago, I saw Second Cousin send a woman in there. She came out covered in blood. It's too brutal. I don't want to go!"
