Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 707: Chapter 696: Everyone Protects Qiao Jing

They hadn’t yet grasped the meaning behind Su Manhan’s words when Zhan Yuanshan came over with a stern face.

They were not unaware of Zhan Yuanshan’s temper—this expression certainly spelled trouble! Moreover, he was heading straight for Zhan Bei.

Just as Zhan Kaiyang was about to speak up and stop him, Zhan Yuanshan had already raised his cane and fiercely struck Zhan Bei’s leg!

Zhan Bei fell to his knees on the spot, his body about to fall forward, but his hands were still not healed and could not support him on the ground.

"Ah!!!"

Just as his face was about to hit the ground, Zhan Kaiyang quickly pulled him back, managing to keep him kneeling instead of sprawled out.

Cao Rushan, seeing what happened, couldn’t bear it and hurriedly tried to help Zhan Bei up.

"My son, does it hurt?"

One should know that Zhan Yuanshan was once an unrivaled War General on the battlefield, and though he was old now, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, and his strength was not to be underestimated. The consequences of his strike with the cane were foreseeable!

Therefore, even if Zhan Yuanshan had just tapped lightly, given his strength, the person struck would definitely not be able to stand up the next day!

Zhan Bei tried several times to stand up, but a piercing pain in his leg forced him to kneel down again.

Zhan Yuanshan snorted coldly, not even giving Zhan Bei a glance, and walked over to Su Manhan.

"Call Jing Girl over. I want this whole family to apologize to her properly!"

He had just returned from out of town today, happily planning to have Jing Girl come over for dinner to see his great-grandson, and then this happened!

If he hadn’t come back, the words Zhan Bei said earlier would probably have resulted in just a few reprimands, definitely not enough to settle the score.

Luckily, he came back and heard everything; otherwise, Jing Girl would have suffered the humiliation and the great injustice for nothing!

Su Manhan nodded, and just as she was about to call Qiao Jing, she realized the call had not been disconnected.

She glanced at the furious Zhan Yuanshan beside her and slowly began to speak:

"Dad, I was just talking to Qipei on the phone, and it’s still connected; Qiao Jing is also listening."

After hearing Su Manhan’s words, Zhan Yuanshan was taken aback and quickly took her phone.

The one-second stern-faced man became tender and affectionate the instant he took the phone.

"Jing Girl, you and Qipei come to Purple Garden, alright? I’m here today, no one can bully you! I’ll make them all apologize to you!"

Zhan Kaiyang found the huge contrast unbelievable when he saw it.

He knew best how once his brother became angry, it was hard to stop; but facing Qiao Jing, he had tempered his rage so quickly?

Thinking of this, he glanced at Zhan Bei, who was kneeling on the ground and wailing, and spoke with some dissatisfaction:

"Brother, Xiao Bei said the wrong thing, and I will educate him, but wasn’t it a bit too much for you to strike him like that?"

Zhan Yuanshan, still chatting with Qiao Jing, was suddenly interrupted by Zhan Kaiyang, and his face darkened once more, the cane in his hand making a "thud, thud" sound on the ground.

"Too much? Bullshit! I’m being merciful not breaking his legs!"

He was protecting Jing Girl, who had not yet had time to befriend them, and yet Zhan Bei dared to insult her so foully—he would not be Zhan Yuanshan if he bore that!

Moreover, he even dared to curse at his great-grandson?!

After dropping this harsh statement, Zhan Yuanshan then held the phone to his ear again and spoke kindly:

"Jing Girl, come over here, I’ll wait for you. I’m hanging up now."

Qiao Jing responded and then hung up the phone.

A moment later, Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei arrived at Purple Garden.

Upon opening the door, the first thing Qiao Jing saw was Zhan Bei, kneeling on the ground, immobile. His wrists were wrapped in thick gauze, resembling two pig’s trotters, ridiculously funny.

On the other side, Zhan Nan wasn’t faring much better, with both shoulders similarly bandaged in gauze, hanging stiffly at his sides, unable to move at all.

Zhan Qipei saw the Zhan Kaiyuan family and furrowed his brows, his face as cold as a chill wind as he looked at them.

When he saw Zhan Bei, a harsh, ruthless look flashed in his eyes.

He didn’t deal with the matter right away, forcefully suppressing his rage as he led Qiao Jing to Su Manhan’s side.

Su Manhan quickly pulled Qiao Jing to sit down on the sofa, gently patting the back of her hand.

"Don’t worry, we’ve got your back," she assured. noveldrama

Zhan Nanqing was listening to everything, but seeing that her mother and grandfather were there, she didn’t think they needed her, so she kept quiet throughout.

She did, however, give the family plenty of scornful looks, which visibly upset Cao Rushan.

Zhan Yao also realized that he was not needed in this scenario, so he didn’t speak up either, but his dark facial expression clearly showed his attitude.

Qiao Jing had originally intended to handle the matter by herself, but upon seeing Zhan Qipei and everyone else standing by her side, she felt a warm current pass through her heart.

It seemed to her that within the Zhan Family, she had truly felt the sense of home.

Zhan Qipei slightly narrowed his dark eyes, his complexion grim and frightening, as he coldly stared at Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei, emanating a terrifying chill.

"What’s the matter with Qiao Jing?" he demanded.

Although he didn’t know yet why Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei were beaten up like this, he was aware that since Qiao Jing had taken action, there must be a good reason for it.

He didn’t even need to guess to know that these two brothers must have said something offensive, which provoked Qiao Jing to strike.

But he hadn’t expected these two to have the audacity to come knocking after getting what they deserved.

The two brothers shivered uncontrollably when they met Zhan Qipei’s gaze, feeling a chill rising from their feet.

Looking at them, Zhan Qipei gave off the impression of a demon that had crawled out from Hell, and just by making eye contact, they felt a lethal suffocation.

Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei quickly lowered their heads, not daring to speak at all.

Cao Rushan looked at her sons, beaten to such a state, with immense heartache, then turned to glance at Zhan Qipei.

Even though she felt intimidated by Zhan Qipei’s look, she couldn’t bear to see her sons wronged and responded defensively,

"What’s the matter? Look at how my sons have been beaten! If Qiao Jing isn’t to be driven out, then you see how to deal with this! And the comment made by Xiao Bei was a misunderstanding, I’ll have him apologize to Qiao Jing, alright?" she proposed.

Zhan Yuanshan banged his cane forcefully, frowning with anger as he burst out,

"Won’t you ask why your sons were beaten? And Zhan Bei’s offense can’t simply be settled with an apology! Casually calling Jing Girl indecent and saying my great-grandson is bast*rd?! I think you have the audacity of a bear and the guts of a leopard!"

After saying this, he raised his cane and struck the ground again with force.

At the sound of the cane, Zhan Bei instinctively shrank back, fearing that the next blow would land on him.

He looked at Zhan Kaiyang with pleading eyes, seeking help.

He didn’t dare to retort any of Zhan Yuanshan’s words, for doing so would surely get him beaten even worse!
