Watching Xu Lei's obstinate price-hiking, Wu Tian suddenly understood.
He had only become so abnormal after Bai Xue arrived.
So, in the end, this guy was still after Bai Xue!
Wu Tian's expression immediately turned grim.
If it were for any other reason, it would be fine, but if anyone dared to lay a hand on Bai Xue, he would absolutely be the first to object!
He said in a deep voice, "I advise you to watch your words. I know what you're thinking."
"You'd better put away your dirty thoughts, or I'll make you regret it."
Xu Lei was enraged upon hearing this, glaring at Wu Tian and saying, "What do you mean, you brat? Are you threatening me?"
"Let me tell you, just because you're here to rent a place doesn't mean I have to be polite to you."
"You're a young man trying to fight me; you'll never win."
Bai Xue was a little stunned, seeing that this was supposed to be about renting a house, how did it turn into this?
She didn't want to see Wu Tian and Xu Lei clash, so she quickly pulled Wu Tian and said, "Wu Tian, let's go. We're not renting anymore."
Before Wu Tian could speak, Xu Lei extended his hand and blocked Bai Xue.
"Wait a minute, who said you could leave?"
"This kid just offended me, so we've had a falling out."
"I, Xu Lei, am a person who always repays grudges. If I don't get a reasonable explanation for this matter today, I won't let you go."
Bai Xue forced a smile and said to Xu Lei, "Let's talk things through. What's going on?"
"Let's consider this a misunderstanding. We don't want the house anymore, just let us go."
Xu Lei looked at Bai Xue with a lecherous gaze, grinning, "Beauty, whether you leave now or not isn't up to you."
"Of course, if you really want to apologize on his behalf, that's fine too."
"As I said, if you accompany me for dinner tonight, then everything will be alright."
"If you refuse, this kid will be eating at the hospital."
Bai Xue's eyes flickered nervously, her lips turning slightly pale.
She certainly knew what Xu Lei meant by dinner.
But how could she possibly agree to such a thing?
Seeing Bai Xue's reaction, Xu Lei also knew that Bai Xue wasn't a tough character.
If he used some tactics, he might have a chance to sleep with her!
He put on a threatening and enticing demeanor and said to Bai Xue, "Beauty, I advise you to think carefully."
"I have several businesses in the county. In terms of assets, I'm much better off than this kid."
"As long as you make me happy, let alone waive the rent, I wouldn't mind giving you a business."
"So, whether you choose me to treat you well or him to treat you well, I hope you can see clearly."
Xu Lei's words were complete nonsense. He didn't have several properties; this one was his wife's.
However, none of that mattered to him, as he was just trying to deceive her.
When he got tired of Bai Xue, he would just discard her, and he believed she wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
He thought Bai Xue would be tempted, but to his surprise, Bai Xue's delicate eyebrows shot up, and she said solemnly:
"What do you take me for? What does it matter to me how many businesses you have?"
"I think Wu Tian is much better than people like you. You're a scumbag! A degenerate!"
"What did you say?!" Bai Xue's insult immediately enraged Xu Lei.
He could tell they were both from the countryside, and city people often looked down on rural people, so Xu Lei felt even more confident.
He gritted his teeth and said:
"Fine, you bitch, you really want to disrespect me like this, huh?"
"I've changed my mind. I don't just want you to accompany me tonight; I want to play with you every night until you're dead!"
The volatile aura emanating from Xu Lei made Bai Xue tremble slightly.
She suddenly dared not speak, afraid that if she said anything, Xu Lei would pounce on her.
At this moment, Wu Tian stepped forward and said, "I'll give you three seconds to apologize to Sister Bai Xue."
Xu Lei, still in a fit of rage, would never listen to Wu Tian.
He sneered and said, "Apologize? Haha, alright, no problem!"
"When we get to bed, I'll apologize every time I have my way with her. Are you satisfied with that?"
Wu Tian said nothing more.
He instantly appeared in front of Xu Lei and punched him in the stomach.
"Three seconds are up," Wu Tian said coldly.
Xu Lei felt like he couldn't breathe.
His eyes bulged, and he clutched his stomach tightly, feeling the intense pain spreading throughout his abdomen, as if all his internal organs had completely ruptured.
"Since you refuse to apologize voluntarily, I'll find a way to make you apologize."
With that, Wu Tian kicked Xu Lei's knee, and Xu Lei immediately knelt down.
"Apologize," Wu Tian's voice came from above.
Xu Lei gritted his teeth, trying to stand up, but under Wu Tian's pressure, he couldn't move at all.
He was so angry his lungs felt like they would explode, and he roared at Wu Tian, "How dare you hit me? I won't let you go!"
Wu Tian said indifferently, "Whether you let me go or not is another matter, but if you don't apologize to Sister Bai Xue, then it's me who won't let you go now."
Xu Lei held onto his last shred of stubbornness, clenching his fists tightly.
His eyes, filled with rage, clearly showed he still had the intention to resist.
Wu Tian slowly raised his hand. As long as Xu Lei didn't apologize, that slap would fall immediately.
But at this moment, a low voice came from the doorway: "What are you doing?"
Everyone turned to look at the doorway, where a middle-aged woman was standing.
The woman wasn't beautiful, but she had a fierce look and was clearly a woman with a bad temper.
As soon as Xu Lei saw her, he immediately acted like a child seeing his mother.
He eagerly shouted, "Wife, someone is causing trouble here, help me quickly!"
The woman was Xu Lei's wife, Huang Hui. In fact, Xu Lei had married into her family.
Upon seeing someone treating her husband like this, Huang Hui immediately cursed, "What do you mean! How dare you cause trouble here, are you tired of living!"
Wu Tian said coldly, "Causing trouble? Please clarify who is causing trouble first."
"Your husband spoke disrespectfully to my sister and even proposed such an idea. You are his wife, aren't you going to do anything?"
Hearing this, Huang Hui's expression immediately changed.
She looked at Xu Lei gloomily and asked in a low voice, "Xu Fatty, is what he's saying true?"
