Chapter 827: Chapter 500: Threaten Me? Even Your Dad Wouldn’t Dare (Third Update)As soon as Jiang Jinsang finished speaking, Huo Ran spoke up.

”He said Third Brother, Fourth Brother deliberately suck up to you, and also said Fourth Brother likes men...” Huo Ran couldn’t clearly remember the specifics and just said whatever came to mind.

”Said they were unworthy or something, and mentioned something about being gay.”

”Some things were so unpleasant, I just can’t say them.”

As Huo Ran spoke, that person’s face grew increasingly unsightly, probably because he was drunk and didn’t remember what he had said at all.

”You’re fucking lying! When did I ever say something like that?”

”Oh right, he also called me a little bastard!” Huo Ran said this with extreme grievance, like a schoolboy bullied and now complaining to his parents.

Everyone: ”...”

Can we be a bit more mature when we speak?

”I...” The man tightly covered his neck, shaking with anger, ”Did I say something like that?”

”Oh come on, why are you acting innocent now, think you’re in a drama or something, hit someone and then play the victim?” Huo Ran, young and inexperienced, has watched quite a few dramas though, ”Back then they were all there, whether you said it or not, they can all testify.”

Huo Ran pointed to a few people not far away...

When Jiang Jinsang’s gaze drifted over, those people all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

Who was right and who was wrong, Jiang Jinsang now had a clear idea.

”But you were the one who started it.” A young You Family member seemed to grasp something to use against him again.

”You came to me asking for a beating, if I didn’t hit you, wouldn’t it be letting down your bitchy behavior?”

”...”

Huo Ran normally wasn’t one to argue articulately, he was just provoked this time, and the other party was drunk, feeling dizzy, yet hadn’t said anything about him.

The way the two argued felt just like little kids fighting.

Jiang Jinsang, however, looked at Shen Shuci, signaling her to throw away the glass shards; those things were too dangerous.

”Fifth Brother, this has nothing to do with sister-in-law, they were the ones who ganged up on me, I was upset and wanted to fight back, sister-in-law was just helping me.”

Jiang Jinsang examined Shen Shuci’s hand, ”Are you okay?”

She lowered her eyes and rubbed her fingers, which might’ve gotten some liquor on them, feeling sticky, although she had just held the glass, she wasn’t injured.

”Something’s wrong.”

Jiang Jinsang frowned, her clothes didn’t have a wrinkle, and Huo Ran at least was bruised, he really couldn’t tell where Shen Shuci was supposed to be hurt.

”Are you injured?”

”No.” Shen Shuci shook her head, ”He harassed me earlier, it hurt my feelings.”

Everyone: ”...”

What on earth?

Hurt feelings? What can you say besides impressive?

Jiang Jinsang looked to the man still covering his neck, ”Do you have any rebuttal to this?”

”I didn’t... harass her.” The man’s words clearly lacked confidence, especially when he met Shen Shuci’s gaze, not daring to argue.

Jiang Jinsang chuckled, ”Slandering my brother and harassing my aunt? You’ve got some nerve.”

”Fifth Master... I just had a little to drink earlier.” He was just being reckless after drinking, talking too much.

Some men at the table, once they’ve had a few drinks, love to make themselves sound omnipotent, bragging as if they’re the center of the universe, looking down on everyone, and he just happened to be that type.

Five parts sober, he was already scared out of his wits.

”So you’re admitting you said those things?”

”But I was beaten too.”

”Shouldn’t you have been beaten?”

”I...” he stammered, ”deserved it.”

”Would you rather walk out yourself or have me get someone to throw you out?” Jiang Jinsang knew full well that Huo Ran started it, and he wasn’t entirely blameless, causing too much of a scene would certainly affect the Huo Family.

This incident, if blown up, would leave everyone tainted, with no winner.

”Fifth Master...” The man felt wronged; he couldn’t clearly remember what he’d said, only felt beaten for no reason and was somewhat aggrieved, ”Is this approach quite right?”

”Then tell me, what would be right?” Jiang Jinsang shot him a glance.

”I get it, this is your place, you can do whatever you want...”
