Chapter 1299 — Stepping In to Help

"A petty nobody from the Sun family dares to boast so wildly before me? Do not think I will spare you just because you bear the Sun name. I may be an illegitimate son, but if I killed you, the Sun family would not dare breathe a word! They would never stand up for a second son who is not even the heir!" Zhao Qibing cackled, speaking with overbearing arrogance.

The man's expression changed at once, turning grim and unsightly. Zhao Qibing had struck right at his private pain. In the Sun family, he was indeed not the one who held power, with his elder brother bearing down on him from above and making life miserable for him as the second son! And because the man was always ready to uphold justice, his elder brother often pushed him out front to take the blows, something he understood perfectly, yet accepted willingly.

For that very reason, his position in the Sun family was quite ordinary. At his elder brother's bidding, he had several times exposed the family's abuses at clan meetings, and so earned the resentment of his kin! Yet the man had no regrets. A true man, living once in this world, must know what to do and what to refrain from doing. It was simply his nature. When he saw injustice, he had to act!

"Kill me? With you?" The man glanced at Zhao Qibing's legs, and a sneer flickered across his lips!

"Li Cihua, slap him for me!" Zhao Qibing pointed at the man and ordered arrogantly.

Hearing Zhao Qibing's words, Wei Zhao suddenly understood! The Sun family, could it be the Sun family among the aristocratic families that Uncle Qing had mentioned? Then would this not be Sun Jingyan's family? Was this man Sun Jingyan's younger brother?

With the surname Sun, Wei Zhao also suddenly recalled where he had seen this man before! Sun Yikai, this man was Sun Yikai!

He remembered that when he had just moved into the Gu family villa, he had met a young man driving a Ferrari. At the time the man had said his name was Sun Yikai, and told Wei Zhao to seek him out if he ever ran into trouble, for he would look after Wei Zhao!

Back then Wei Zhao had formed a good impression of him, finding him bold and generous.

Although Wei Zhao could seem cold in his dealings with others, that was only toward enemies. Toward friends, toward those who had done him a kindness, Wei Zhao would repay them a hundredfold! Not to mention the earlier meeting between Sun Yikai and Wei Zhao, for his ties to Sun Jingyan alone, Wei Zhao could never stand by and watch him be bullied by Zhao Qibing!

"I am going over to have a look!" Wei Zhao rose to his feet and walked toward Zhao Qibing.

"I will go too, wait for me, Wei Zhao hubby." Feng Xiaoxiao was one who loved excitement, and with excitement before her, how could she not join in?

Sun Yikai's face looked very grim. He had never expected Zhao Qibing to be arrogant to such an extent, ordering his men to beat him in public! As a son of an aristocratic family, Sun Yikai had never suffered such a great insult! In the past, everyone had shown the Sun family some respect, and matters could always be settled smoothly, but today was different. Once he calmed down, Sun Yikai suddenly realized that the man he faced came from the Hidden Zhao Family, not from some ordinary family!

But Sun Yikai was not a man who feared trouble, and in the face of Zhao Qibing's threat, he still stood tall and unyielding!

Zhao Qibing had Sun Yikai completely figured out. Although the Sun family held a rather special place among the aristocratic families, it was a restorative family, and the arts it cultivated were all of the healing line, not skill in fists and kicks, so Sun Yikai was no different from an ordinary man, and Li Cihua could handle him with ease!

"Young Master Bing, do me a favor. Little Brother Sun is young and hot-blooded and does not know better. Do not lower yourself to his level..." Wu Chengtian was in a painful dilemma, but dilemma or not, he still had to step forward to stand up for Sun Yikai!

Sun Yikai was Sun Jingyan's younger brother. If anything happened to him, Wu Chengtian could never stand aside and do nothing!

"Fine! Have him apologize to me right now, then get lost, and we will call this matter settled!" Zhao Qibing was still somewhat wary of Wu Chengtian, that reckless fool. Wu Chengtian was highly skilled, and Zhao Qibing's present men were no match for him, so when Wu Chengtian spoke, Zhao Qibing smoothly went with the flow and granted him the favor.

"Brother Wu, stay out of this. I just cannot stand his ways!" Sun Yikai had not expected Wu Chengtian to step forward for him at this moment. Although he did not much like Wu Chengtian, nor did he support his sister marrying him, at this moment Sun Yikai felt that Wu Chengtian was rather loyal after all.

"Wu Chengtian, you see? Your little brother-in-law does not care about your face at all. You had better not meddle in this!" Zhao Qibing gave a cold snort, distancing Wu Chengtian from the affair, meaning he should no longer interfere.

Seeing the situation about to erupt at any moment, Xu Shilan sighed helplessly. Sun Yikai had spoken up for her out of kindness, and Xu Shilan naturally did not want anything to happen to him here, so she had no choice but to speak up: "Young Master Zhao, in that case, I will drink a cup with you, though I will take tea in place of wine..."

In saying this, Xu Shilan meant to draw Zhao Qibing's attention away, so that he would stop targeting Sun Yikai.

Hearing Xu Shilan's words, Zhao Qibing was overjoyed, thinking Xu Shilan had been captivated by his dominance! Before, Xu Shilan had shown him not the slightest courtesy, and now her sudden change of attitude must surely be because his conduct just now had been so manly that Xu Shilan's heart had been moved!

It seemed Xu Shilan also had a streak of worship for force. If he often showed off his power, it would help him win over girls!

"Ha, good, Miss Xu, please!" Zhao Qibing made a complacent inviting gesture, and had no more time to bother with Sun Yikai.

Sun Yikai naturally knew Xu Shilan was stepping in to rescue him. He sighed inwardly, shook his head, and was about to leave when he heard a voice raised in objection.

"Xiaohan, Xiaoxiao is looking for you. Go keep her company." Wei Zhao walked over, stepped straight in front of Zhao Qibing, shielding Xu Shilan, and said to her: "I will drink with this cripple!"

"Huh?" Hearing that voice, Zhao Qibing was badly frightened. He knew that voice all too well. Was it not Wei Zhao's voice? His legs had been crippled twice thanks to him, Uncle Zhu was still lying in a hospital bed, and the Medicine King was covered all over with lightning rods. Zhao Qibing would do anything to steer clear of such a man, how would he dare offend him?

Seeing Wei Zhao suddenly come forward to help, Xu Shilan was slightly stunned. She had not expected Wei Zhao to call Zhao Qibing a cripple outright, so with Zhao Qibing's temper, how would he react?

Yet Zhao Qibing's reaction surprised Xu Shilan somewhat. Zhao Qibing seemed to show no anger at all. On the contrary, a trace of fear flickered across his face!
