He understood Wu Tian's meaning and looked at Chen Xinhui and Chen Xuan again, kowtowing repeatedly and saying, "Uncle... Chen Xuan... I know I was wrong."
"What I said just now was nonsense, please don't take it to heart!"
"If you're unhappy, then I'll slap myself, I'll slap myself! But you must forgive me!" He wailed, slapping himself repeatedly.
He showed no restraint, and the slaps rang out, making the listeners tremble.
This sudden change caught Chen Xinhui and Chen Xuan off guard.
They watched Han Guoliang slap himself, feeling a mix of pity and satisfaction.
After all, what Han Guoliang had said before was too much. If he had encountered someone with a worse temper, they might have wanted to kill him with a cleaver!
However, Chen Xinhui was an honest man, so seeing Han Guoliang's face swell up, he finally waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, stop hitting yourself."
"Guoliang, I know you young people don't watch what you say, but you've gone too far, haven't you?"
"What's the difference between people from the city and people from the countryside? Why do you look down on rural people?"
Han Guoliang sniffled and said, "I, I know I was wrong... I will never look down on rural people again."
"I promise to be polite to everyone from now on, please forgive me!"
Chen Xinhui nodded and said, "Alright, you can go. Don't do this kind of thing again. If you continue like this, you'll suffer losses in society sooner or later."
Han Guoliang nodded repeatedly, and not daring to linger any longer, he quickly fled with Han Sheng.
Seeing him scramble away, it was likely he wouldn't dare to speak ill of rural people again in his lifetime.
The lunch ended like this.
After this disturbance, the food had cooled, and everyone had lost their appetite, so they didn't eat any further.
Although Chen Xuan's anger had subsided, she still felt a sense of unease, so she went for a walk with Wu Tian on the village road.
Wu Tian smiled as he looked at the lingering anger on her beautiful face and said, "What's wrong? Still angry?"
Chen Xuan shook her head and said, "I'm not angry, I'm just thinking, how can there be such people in the world? They're truly detestable!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Isn't the world just like this? This is biodiversity."
"But speaking of which, you really surprised me. It's the first time I've seen you speak like that!"
Chen Xuan felt embarrassed when she thought of her angry self, and her pretty face flushed slightly.
She whispered, "I... I'm not that kind of person..."
"I... I was just too angry at the time, please don't misunderstand."
She was afraid Wu Tian would think of her as a fierce girl. She wasn't that kind of person and didn't want to become one.
Wu Tian smiled and said, "No, no, don't overthink it. I think you were very cool!"
"You should be tough with people like that, otherwise, they'll only push their luck. This will also be good for you in business in the future."
Chen Xuan nodded and said, "I understand. I will be assertive when I need to be in the future."
Wu Tian found Chen Xuan to be both obedient and cute, and a soft emotion welled up in his heart, his smile becoming even more pronounced.
Chen Xuan felt very shy and didn't dare to look into Wu Tian's eyes.
She walked silently with Wu Tian, her head lowered.
Suddenly, Wu Tian looked ahead and said, "What are they doing over there?"
Chen Xuan was slightly startled, then looked up.
At the entrance of the village, Village Chief Wang Damao and a group of people were standing there, seemingly discussing something.
There were over a dozen men in black, wearing sunglasses, who clearly weren't good people.
And in the open space at the village entrance, several vans were parked.
Behind those vans was a black car.
The car looked like a luxury vehicle, and even from a distance, Wu Tian could see someone sitting inside.
Wang Damao, surrounded by the men in black, felt uneasy.
He said with a dejected face, "Your terms are unacceptable. This, this isn't destroying our Taohua Village?"
"If I agree to your demands today, not only will the villagers spit on me, but my ancestors will surely appear in my dreams to scold me!"
"Stop your nonsense!" the leader of the men in black shouted, "Village Chief Wang, we're talking to you nicely, which is giving you face. Don't be ungrateful!"
"I'm telling you today, you have to agree to our terms whether you want to or not!"
"Otherwise, don't blame us for resorting to extreme measures!"
Wang Damao's body trembled slightly, and he asked in panic, "You, you... what do you want to do?"
"I'm telling you, if you do that, you'll be breaking the law. Don't you want to go to jail?"
"Breaking the law?" The leader of the men in black sneered.
"Do you really think we would come here today if we were afraid of breaking the law?"
"I'm telling you, we're here to inform you, not to seek your opinion!"
Seeing that these people were unreasonable, Wang Damao decided to go all out.
He adopted a defensive posture, warily saying, "If you want to mess around today, you'll have to get past me!"
"I'm telling you, I've practiced martial arts, so don't try to get yourself into trouble!"
"Practiced martial arts?" The leader's smile was full of mockery. "If that's the case, then let's have a spar!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the leader didn't hesitate and kicked towards Wang Damao.
Wang Damao was just talking big; he hadn't practiced any martial arts.
He was kicked over by the leader and felt as if his old bones were about to fall apart.
The leader sneered, "Is this what you call practicing? It seems your skills aren't very good!"
Saying that, he glanced to his left and right, and the men in black immediately stepped forward, surrounding Wang Damao.
The shadow-like wall descended, making Wang Damao's face turn pale with fright. He hurriedly asked, "What do you want to do!"
The leader grinned menacingly, "You want to oppose us? Then let's see how well you do!"
He shouted loudly, "Beat him! Beat him hard! Beat him until he submits!"
Seeing that the men in black were indeed about to act, Wang Damao screamed in terror.
At that moment, a cold shout interrupted the men's actions, "Stop right there!"
