Chapter 086: The Third's Underling

Tang Mother didn't quite understand what the few of them were talking about at first, but when she saw Tang Yun come in and heard how they addressed her, she immediately understood what was going on. Tang Mother's heart sank instantly. Could her daughter really be in an early romance? However, seeing her daughter's pale face, she wasn't sure if it was because she was afraid of her finding out about this matter or because she was forced to be Zou Ruoming's girlfriend.

However, no matter what, apart from feeling somewhat sad, Tang Mother couldn't muster any other thoughts! Zou Ruoming, being a young master, was not someone she could afford to offend. She also knew that her words basically had no effect!

Over the years, Tang Mother had seen too many cold and indifferent people. She knew how insignificant her own strength was! Just take her husband's former electronics factory, for example. He was injured by a machine, damaging his sacral nerve, and is now bedridden and unable to take care of himself. Yet, he couldn't get a single cent in compensation from the factory!

The owner of a small private electronics factory, because of his social connections, left Tang Mother with no one to turn to. The contract was tampered with, leaving her with no place to appeal.

Just because she went to the factory a few times to ask for medical expenses, the owner threatened to cause trouble for her family, to find someone to harm her daughter and burn down her house. Out of helplessness, Tang Mother had to give up. What could she do, being part of the vulnerable group?

The entire family's livelihood fell on Tang Mother's shoulders. Fortunately, her daughter was diligent and got first place in the school last semester, not only exempting her from tuition but also earning a scholarship, which made the family's life a bit easier.

Today, when she heard that her daughter had a boyfriend, Tang Mother was stunned. While she was angry with her daughter, she also wondered if Zou Ruoming had forced her. However, if he truly cared for Tang Yun, it wouldn't be so bad. Looking at Zou Ruoming's family background, if her daughter were to be with him, she wouldn't be at a disadvantage. She was just afraid that he was just playing around and would dump her when he got tired.

Although Tang Mother didn't know much about the lives of rich young men, she had heard some stories.

Tang Yun, blushing, wanted to argue, but thinking about Zou Ruoming's reputation and the rumors at school, she felt a bit timid. She had heard that Zou Ruoming once secretly took a girl to the outdoor toilet and did something terrible to her, and afterward, he paid the girl a sum of money and helped her transfer to another school.

Although it was just a rumor, the girl did indeed transfer schools. Since her family benefited from it, they naturally wouldn't make a fuss. So Tang Yun was afraid that if she really angered Zou Ruoming, he would do anything!

Although she wouldn't remain silent for money like that girl, what good would it do to make a fuss?

Tang Yun lowered her head, silent, with tears welling up in her eyes, feeling very wronged. She was a bit angry that her mother didn't drive Zou Ruoming away, but then she thought about how vulnerable her mother was, perhaps even more helpless...

What was so good about being the school's beauty queen! Why was she so unlucky? She had always been very low-key, never wearing makeup or clothes other than her school uniform, yet she still attracted attention.

And Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu were also school beauties, but would Zou Ruoming dare to do this to them?

"These scumbags!" Kang Xiaobo, who had been acting tough lately, couldn't bear to see Tang Yun being bullied by Zou Ruoming. His blood boiled, and he clenched his fists, rushing over!

Lin Yi didn't expect Kang Xiaobo to meddle in this matter. He never thought that even a timid and fearful boy like Kang Xiaobo would have a moment of bravery for his goddess.

"This day... is really troublesome!" Lin Yi had wanted to keep a low profile for a few days, but now he couldn't stay low! Kang Xiaobo had already rushed over; could he just stand by and do nothing? Should he let Zou Ruoming beat up Kang Xiaobo?

"Zou Ruoming! Are you even a man? Unable to win Tang Yun's affection, you resort to such despicable tactics to force her to comply!" Kang Xiaobo rushed over and stood in front of Tang Yun.

Zou Ruoming was waiting for Tang Yun to make a decision. He wanted this effect, to force Tang Yun to make a choice! His presence here was also a show of force, a threat! By standing at Tang Mother's barbecue stall, he was telling Tang Yun that if she didn't agree today, neither she nor her mother would have peace, and her mother's barbecue stall would be out of business!

Therefore, Zou Ruoming was fifty percent sure that Tang Yun would agree to be his girlfriend, out of necessity.

Tang Yun, out of concern, had been keeping her head down, not saying a word. She was worried about her safety and her mother's barbecue stall! She knew that if she turned against Zou Ruoming today, her mother's barbecue business would definitely not survive. If Zou Ruoming and his followers came to cause trouble every day, their livelihood would be cut off.

Just as Tang Yun was at a loss, Kang Xiaobo suddenly rushed over. Not only was Zou Ruoming stunned, but Tang Yun was also stunned, wondering who this person was. She didn't know him at all.

"Who the hell are you?" Zou Ruoming, seeing that Tang Yun was about to be forced to make a decision, was furious. He pointed at Kang Xiaobo, his voice turning cold.

"I... I..." Kang Xiaobo, seeing Zou Ruoming's vicious and threatening gaze, lost his earlier courage. He had just had a moment of bravery, but it was over. He wasn't like Lin Yi, who had the strength. In a fight, he was no match for Zou Ruoming. Zou Ruoming's stern question made him feel discouraged, but he knew he couldn't lose his nerve. At the very least, his leader was still there. If he got beaten up, would his leader not step in? So he stiffened his neck and said, "I am the third of the four school bullies' underling!"

"Four school bullies? Third? Underling?" Zou Ruoming was taken aback, confused by Kang Xiaobo's words: "What nonsense? Are you Zhong Pinliang's man? Damn, Zhong Pinliang was already beaten up and still doesn't know his place, daring to meddle in my affairs?"

"Go to hell, even your leader doesn't dare to meddle in Ming Ge's affairs, who the hell are you?" The fat-faced thug pushed Kang Xiaobo hard: "Go home and tell your leader, I'll f*** his mother!"

The fat-faced thug clearly mistook Kang Xiaobo for Zhong Pinliang's underling, so he was extremely brazen. The news of Zhong Pinliang being beaten up by a transfer student had already spread, especially since Black Panther was also arrested and might be sentenced to several years in prison. Without his backing and losing face, Zhong Pinliang's influence was gone, and Zou Ruoming's underlings naturally didn't respect him.

"Who are you going to f***?" A calm but clearly cold voice sounded in the fat-faced thug's ear!
