Chapter 39: Chapter 39: The Family’s Improper Conduct

Yun Qiuce quickly walked over, picked Yun Qi up in his arms, and blocked in front of Yun Qi with half his body. "Mr. Xu, Qi is my niece. My name is Yun Qiuce. If there’s any problem, come at me!"

"Yun Qiuce? I recognize you, and I know your father. What’s this, the father doesn’t lie anymore, so now the son does? Even bringing a child along, how shameful of your family!"

"You..."

Yun Qiuce had just said one word when he saw Yun Qi stretch out a small hand and smack Xu Shixiong’s forehead with a crisp sound.

It wasn’t a strong hit, so it didn’t hurt.

Xu Shixiong was stunned, and everyone else was too.

"You little brat, think I don’t dare to hit you, huh?" Just as Xu Shixiong finished speaking, there was another smack on his forehead.

"That’s for you, old fool. I was wondering why the Xu family’s Evil Qi was so strong, and it turns out your Qi is the strongest, yet you’ve been fine. Tell me, which Ghost enchanted you?" The childish voice was stern, with a hint of interrogation.

Mo Wanting’s heart skipped a beat.

She felt that the Little Master was onto something.

Actually, all these years, they just appeared loving in outsiders’ eyes. Xu Shixiong was playing around outside, and she was well aware of it.

But she never thought he would go so far as to dabble with Ghosts.

Xu Xueyan jumped out, "Dad, the ghost I encountered said I was stealing her man. I don’t even have a boyfriend. Is it because of you?"

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Xu Shixiong roared angrily, swinging a slap across Xu Xueyan’s face.

Xu Xueyan was completely stunned.

Xu Leiyue shouted, "Dad, how dare you hit my sister?"

From childhood to now, Dad had always cherished his sister the most and had never hit her.

"I hit her, so what! I’ve raised you all to grow up, only to become useless." Xu Shixiong stepped forward, kicking over the coffee table and other objects, his eyes blazing red, "Get out, all of you! And take those scammers with you!"

Seeing her husband hitting and smashing things, Mo Wanting quickly led her children and others away.

After a moment, the sound of the study door slamming shut was heard.

Mo Wanting let out a sigh of relief, full of sorrow, "Little Master, since you’ve seen it, I won’t hide it from you. He’s been like this since he came back, either angry or just locking himself in the study, rarely speaking to the family, let alone having any meaningful exchanges."

Being obediently held by Yun Qiuce, Yun Qi tilted her head and thought for a moment, her childlike voice firm, "The problem must be in the study."

Xu Xueyan: "I remembered, there’s a painting in Dad’s study, the ancient-dressed woman on it looks exactly like the ghost I met."

Yun Qi blinked, matching the words with what Wang Meixiang had said.

It seems the problem indeed lies with that painting.

Xu Leiyue: "So what do we do now?"

Yun Qi spread her small hands, "No matter what, I need to see that painting. So what do you think we should do?"

A few minutes later, Xu Leiyue knocked on the study door, "Dad..."

"Get out!" came an enraged voice from inside.

"Dad, we know we were wrong. I’ve already driven the Yun Family people away. Can you come out? Mom and I want to apologize to you in person."

There was a moment of silence in the study, then Xu Shixiong opened the door, revealing half his body, "Are you serious..."

Xu Leiyue suddenly pushed the door open and grabbed his father’s arm.

Yun Qiuce slipped in and grabbed his other arm.

The two thought that by holding one arm each, they could surely control him.

However...

A few minutes later, the three were tussling together, with Xu Shixiong swinging his arms around, landing a punch on both Xu Leiyue and Yun Qiuce’s faces.

Mo Wanting and Xu Xueyan wanted to step forward to help but found no opening, anxiously turning in circles beside them.

"You little bastard, dare hit your old man! Someone, tie up this rebellious son for me!" Xu Shixiong broke free from the grasp, panting heavily as he tried to call for help.

Yun Qi kicked a chair in front of Xu Shixiong.

Xu Shixiong was striding out angrily and was unprepared, tripping and falling.

Xu Leiyue and Yun Qiuce hurriedly pounced, pinning Xu Shixiong down like koalas, finally managing to keep him under control.
