Hearing this, Ling Chuan frowned and glanced at Liu Yingying. In fact, from the first look she gave him just now, he was sure that she had something against him.

It makes sense. Liu Yingying treated Ze'er as her own brother, and as Ze'er's man, he not only failed to be his support when he needed him the most, but also made him suffer all kinds of grievances. It was his fault...

However, judging from what she said, could it be that someone was gossiping about Ze'er behind her back again?

Thinking of this, Ling Chuan's eyes suddenly became sharp, so before Xia Mo was about to speak, he frowned and asked: "Are they talking about Ze'er?"

Liu Yingying laughed when she heard that, but there was no smile in her eyes when she looked at Ling Chuan, "Heh, Brother Ling, I thought you didn't know about that."

It turned out that they were really talking about his little brother. Ling Chuan's eyes darkened. He had no intention of defending himself in response to Liu Yingying's questioning look.

"Sister Yingying." Xia Mo called out. He didn't expect that Liu Yingying had an argument with someone because of him. He was very touched, but he also didn't want her to misunderstand Ling Chuan, because he knew better than anyone how much this person cherished him.

Then he added, "Sister Yingying, thank you for protecting me. Don't be angry. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt. Also, you can't blame Brother Ling for this. He's not a god. How could he have expected this to happen?"

Liu Yingying looked at Ze Ge'er, who was grateful to her but trying hard to help Ling Chuan explain, and sighed helplessly in her heart: Oh, what a silly brother, he started to protect her before she even started talking.

Oh, forget it. This matter is indeed not Lingchuan’s problem. She just wanted to make him realize how difficult it is for Ze Ge’er. After all, his reputation is also very important.

So she glanced at Ling Chuan again, and then half-hummed in agreement with Xia Mo's words, "I know, what do you want to see the village chief for?"

"It's Brother Gong. He wants to live in our village in the future, so we took him to meet the village chief." Xia Mo smiled and said when he saw that Liu Yingying was no longer hostile to Ling Chuan.

Liu Yingying looked at Gong Ming and nodded, "So that's how it is. Then you guys go quickly. I'll go back first. And Ze'er, if you hear anything that makes you uncomfortable, just fight back. Don't hold it in, okay? If it really doesn't work, don't we have him here..."

After Liu Yingying finished speaking, she looked at Ling Chuan again. Although she was still a little afraid of this man in her heart, after all, his aura was too strong, but when it came to Ze Ge'er, all this meant nothing.

"I will." Ling Chuan glanced at the young man, then looked at Liu Yingying sincerely and promised.

"That's good. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Liu Yingying nodded reluctantly with satisfaction and left.

"Well, goodbye Sister Yingying." Xia Mo said.

Gong Ming looked at Liu Yingying's back for a moment before looking away. Ever since he greeted her, he had been standing by and watching silently.

Although he didn't say anything, he couldn't help but admire her for not showing any fear in the face of a boss with such a terrifying aura. After all, many soldiers on the battlefield were very afraid of the boss.

"Let's go." Ling Chuan suddenly spoke, then took Xia Mo's hand and walked straight forward.

"Brother Ling, what are you doing over there? Aren't we going to the village chief's house?" Seeing Ling Chuan pulling him towards the big banyan tree at the east end of the village, Xia Mo raised his head to look at him and asked in confusion.

However, Gong Ming, who was clear-minded, had nothing to ask. Just now, when he saw his boss's sour face, he was angry. Now he must be going to find those people who had criticized his master presumptuously to vent his anger for his master.

Things turned out just as Gong Ming had expected. Ling Chuan indeed went in the direction that Liu Yingying had just walked. Finally, when he got close to the big banyan tree, he saw two women and a man standing there chattering.

"I never expected that Ze Ge'er looked quiet and peaceful, but he was actually a playboy in private. You've heard those vivid descriptions, right? Tsk tsk, it's so embarrassing! Before, I thought he was quite pitiful when he was in the Liu family, but now it seems that there must be something hateful about pitiful people! Otherwise, you tell me, it's normal for the stepmother to dislike him, but if both his grandmother and father don't like him, then isn't that his problem?"

A woman with her back to Xia Mo and the others was waving her hand and speaking passionately. She didn't notice that the real person was walking towards them step by step, and she listened to every word she said.

Ling Chuan's face instantly became as gloomy as a dark cloud, his thin lips were pursed into a cold line, and even the hand holding Xia Mo tightened a little.

Xia Mo coldly glanced at the gossipy woman who spoke ill of him, curled up his fingers and gently grasped Ling Chuan's hand, and gave him a comforting look.

Come on, someone's going to finish it.

Gong Ming looked at the woman with her back to them with some sympathy. Just at this moment, a young man next to her began to agree.

"Now that you put it that way, I think it makes sense. Look, his husband has only been away for a few days, and he's already fighting with someone..."

"What are you fighting about?" Ling Chuan asked coldly, his eyes as cold as a knife fixed on them.

"Of course..." The man also had his back to Xia Mo and the others. He didn't react for a moment to who interrupted him and asked him the same question again. So when he was about to answer unhappily, he was grabbed by the corner of his clothes by a woman who had seen him looking at Ling Chuan.

Seeing that her face looked strange and she was staring at the back in fear, the other people couldn't help but turn their heads. So when they saw Ling Chuan with a face as dark as Bao Gong, they were so scared that their faces changed drastically.

When did this evil star come? How much did they hear about him?

As excited as the three of them were chatting just now, they were just as scared at this moment. After all, Ling Chuan had a ferocious look on his face, his eyes full of anger, and he looked like he would walk up to them and beat them up at any time, especially with an equally tall stranger next to him.

Looking at the three people who suddenly became as quiet as a chicken, Xia Mo pulled his hand out of Ling Chuan's, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and sneered, "Didn't you have a lot of fun talking just now? Keep going, let me, the protagonist, listen to your wonderful speech too?"
