Chapter 156 - They’re Actually Cousins

T-They’re cousins?!’

Su Qiao was stunned when he heard this. Then he looked at Bai Tao and Bai Xin before reacting. Su Qiao usually called Bai Xin a chubby little boy and had forgotten his real name.

Su Qiao was embarrassed after realizing that he had misunderstood the situation. He awkwardly glanced at Bai Xin and fell silent.

Bai Xin frowned as Bao Tao’s words annoyed him. He retorted loudly, “Don’t call me your cousin, Bai Tao. We’re not that close.”

To repay Su Qiao for his heroic act, Bai Xin added, “Su Qiao and I are like brothers compared to you and me. Who do you think you are?”

Bai Tao wasn’t angry when faced with Bai Xin’s disdainful attitude. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice, “Why are you so close to the Su family, Bai Xin? Does Grandpa know about this?”

Bai Xin suddenly recalled something horrible. His expression changed as he said anxiously, “Don’t you dare say anything!”

“Hmph, why wouldn’t I? Do you think your father will be able to protect you once I tell Grandpa?” Bai Tao became proud again.

Listening to the conversation between Bai Tao and Bai Xin, Su Su sensed that something was wrong. ‘Why does Bai Xin’s family not allow him to be close to us? Does the Bai family have a grudge against my family?’

Bai Tao stopped saying harsh words when he noticed that Bai Xin didn’t retort. Instead, he looked at the trio with a silent, menacing gaze.

Su Qiao didn’t understand what Bai Tao was talking about, so he didn’t take it to heart. He only thought that Bai Tao was threatening Bai Xin. Then Su Qiao clenched his fist and walked toward Bai Tao.

Su Qiao placed his fist directly in front of Bai Tao. “I don’t care what you’re up to, but if you hurt Bai Xin, I’ll do worse to you!” You’re in the same class as me, so you can’t escape my wrath!”

“At best, you can ask your parents to look for my big brother after I’m done breaking your legs. It’s not like my family can’t afford to compensate you.”

Bao Tao was scared after listening to Su Qiao’s violent threats. He stared at the fist directly in front of his nose and started to panic.

Bai Tao was well aware of Su Qiao’s behavior. Bai Tao knew that Su Qiao would do as he said if he hurt Bai Xin.

“A-Are you crazy? D-Do you think your family will help Bai Xin?” Bai Tao stuttered. His eyes widened as if he found it hard to accept Su Qiao’s threats.

As far as Bai Tao knew, Bai Tao and Su Qiao had never been able to see eye to eye. It seemed that it would turn into a battle between Bai Wei and Su Jun.

“Hey, what are you kids doing?” Wan Shuang walked over just as the children were in a stalemate. She looked at the children who were at odds and became puzzled. Then Wan Shuang recognized Bai Tao. ‘Isn’t this the boy who led a group of boys to beat Su Qiao up?’n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Why are you here? Do you want me to beat you up again?” Wan Shuang raised her fist and approached Bai Tao.

After remembering that Wan Shuang had beaten up more than ten people, Bai Tao became afraid of this bodyguard that the Su family had employed. Before Wan Shuang could continue threatening Bai Tao, he trembled and ran away.
