"I heard that you’ve harassed her before," Samuel asked with a cold face.
Liu Wei was shocked when he saw the change in Samuel's expression. He was obviously here to avenge He Ting.
Liu Wei didn't succeed that year and even spread some bad news about He Ting in secret. He deliberately let people reveal that he stayed at He Ting's house late at night in order to discredit He Ting. But he didn’t expect that a village woman could get to know such a big shot in a few years.
"I, I did harass her, but she would rather die than obey. I didn’t do anything," said Liu Wei.
"That is to say, you admit what you have done?" Samuel said and walked towards Liu Wei step by step.
Liu Wei was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He kept kicking his legs to pull himself away from Samuel.
"I did it, but failed. It's true. I didn’t lie. If you don't believe me, you can ask He Ting," Liu Wei quickly explained.
"What did you do after you didn't succeed?" Samuel continued to threaten Liu Wei, showing no sign of stopping.
Feeling the distance between himself and Samuel getting closer and closer, Liu Wei was so scared that his heart and liver were trembling. He knew that it was not a big deal to beat such a big shot to death.
"I, I also said something bad about her. I deliberately asked the cripple to spread the news that I left late at night in her home. I also said that she went to the city to work as a mistress and was kept as a mistress. I also said that she sold her daughter." Liu Wei didn't dare to hide anything anymore. He said it out and told the truth that he had slandered He Ting.
This shocked the villagers. They thought that these things were true and that He Ting had done something immoral outside, so the message spread back to the village. They didn’t expect that these were all made up by Liu Wei.
"You sure are vicious. The ones that can't be obtained have to be destroyed, right?" Samuel said coldly.
Liu Wei had indeed thought that way back then. In his opinion, He Ting's husband was already dead, so what if he was satisfied? However, He Ting wouldn't give up and he couldn't do anything about it. That was why he had to smear He Ting's name. Since he couldn't have her, He Ting's reputation in the village would be ruined.
However, when he did those things, Liu Wei didn't think it was a big deal. After all, He Ting was just a country woman and couldn't resist at all. He didn't expect that a few years later, she would bring back such a powerful man.
"I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please let me go. You are such an important person. There's no need to argue with me," said Liu Wei.
At this time, He Ting got out of the car.
Seeing this, all the villagers looked at her enviously. After all, it was rare for the villagers to see such a luxury car like Rolls-Royce in their lives. However, He Ting was able to return to the village in such a luxury car.
"Alas, He Ting is so lucky to know such a big shot."
"Maybe there is more to it than meets the eye."
"Don’t talk nonsense. Don't you see how Liu Wei was beaten? Stop talking nonsense. Do you want to die?"
The man was so frightened that he shut up.
He Ting walked up to Liu Wei and said fiercely, "Do you know how much I had to suffer because of those words? I don't even dare to return home."
Liu Wei directly knelt down in front of He Ting. He knew that under such circumstances, he had no choice but to admit his mistake. Moreover, it was he who had harmed He Ting in the past.
"He Ting, it's all my fault. It's me who
should die; it's me who should die." Liu Wei slapped himself in the face as he spoke.
After so many years, He Ting's grievances broke out at this moment. Liu Wei's beating alone was not enough. She needed to vent the anger in her heart.
Liu Wei was beaten so badly that he didn't dare to make a sound.
After dozens of slaps, He Ting's hand hurt. As for Liu Wei's face, it was swollen.
"Mom, okay, don't hurt your hand." Jiang Yingying stopped He Ting and comforted her excitement.
In the crowd, a person about the same age as Jiang Yingying was looking forward to it. He and Jiang Yingying were of the same age. He had done a lot of bullying to Jiang Yingying before. At that time, Jiang Yingying was still an ugly duckling.
Unexpectedly, she had become so beautiful now.
"Xiao Hei, you used to have a good relationship with Jiang Yingying. Now that she is rich, why don't you find a chance to establish a relationship with her?" A person next to him said to Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei unconsciously touched his nose. He had a good relationship with Jiang Yingying? This was bullshit. In the whole village, he was the one who bullied Jiang Yingying the most. However, Jiang Yingying was indeed rich now. If he could build a good relationship with her, he might be able to follow her to develop in the city and leave this remote and poor place.
"I don’t know if she still remembers the past." Xiao Hei said with a guilty conscience. It was okay for Jiang Yingying to forget, but if she remembered, his ending would be the same as Liu Wei's.
"Let's give it a try." That man urged.
After hearing this, Xiao Hei couldn't help but walk toward Jiang Yingying.
"Yingying, do you still remember me?" Xiao Hei asked.
Jiang Yingying glanced at him. How could she forget this person?
"Of course I remember. My hair was cut off by you by pushing me to the ground. At that time, I beg you not to do that, but you still cut off my hair," Jiang Yingying said faintly.
Xiao Hei was stunned and quickly said," Yingying, it was all because you were not sensible when you were a child. I didn’t expect you to remember it so clearly. It's all my fault. I'll apologize to you now." "Is it enough to admit your mistake?" Samuel asked.
Xiao Hei was so scared that his whole body trembled. Although it didn't know what kind of person Samuel was, he had already beaten Liu Wei up the moment he got out of the car. His fiery temper was not something that Xiao Hei could bear.
"Brother, this is between me and Yingying. We grew up together. She won't make a fuss about it with me," said Xiao Hei.
Samuel took a look at Jiang Yingying.
Jiang Yingying immediately said, "I only have a grudge against him. He not only cut off my hair, but also often hit me with stones. In the winter when I was a child, there was no window in my house that could shelter me from the wind. It was all because he smashed it."
Samuel smiled faintly and said to Xiao Hei, "It seems that you didn’t recognize how many bad things you have done before."
Xiao Hei was so scared that he didn't dare to look at Samuel. He could only say to Jiang Yingying, "Yingying, you didn't know how to deal with things when you were a child. Do you have to be so calculating?
Anyway, we grew up together. Do you still want to take revenge on me?"
Before Jiang Yingying could say anything, Samuel grabbed Xiao Hei by the neck and said coldly, "I'm not taking revenge. I'm just returning the pain you brought to her in the past to you."
Xiao Hei felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe. He knew that it was useless to say anything to Samuel. Only when Jiang Yingying was willing to let him go could he avoid the pain of skin and flesh.
"Yingying, ask him to let go of me. We are childhood friends," Xiao Hei said in a panic.
"Xiao Hei is really stupid. He knows that he has done so many immoral things, but he still dares to come to her on his own initiative."
"It's not like you don't know Xiao Hei's character. Now that he has seen that Jiang Yingying is rich, can he miss this opportunity to make friends with her?"
"He went for wool and came home shorn.
He deserves it."
No one in the villagers had any sympathy for Xiao Hei, because they all knew that Xiao Hei's purpose was to build a relationship with Jiang Yingying.
Unfortunately, what he had done before was too excessive. This time, he would be courting death.
"Brother Samuel, I don't need you. I'll do it myself," Jiang Yingying said.
Samuel smiled and let go of Xiao Hei.
Just when Xiao Hei was glad that with a woman's strength, at most it would hurt a little, his whole body suddenly flew backward. In the process, Xiao Hei felt a suffocating pain from his chest.
10 meters away, Xiao Hei hit the ground heavily, raising dust all over the sky.
When the villagers saw this scene, they were all stunned. No one had expected that Jiang Yingying had such terrifying strength that a punch could actually send a living person like Xiao Hei flying.
"This... I'm not blind." After finishing his words, the man rubbed his eyes and could not believe it.
There were still many people who did the same thing. They couldn't believe that Jiang Yingying had such great strength.
Xiao Hei rolled on the ground in pain, as if it was going to kill him.
Was this still the same cowardly girl who allowed him to bully as he pleased?
After catching his breath, Xiao Hei looked at Jiang Yingying in horror. Even a strong man didn't have that kind of strength just now. But why was she so fierce?
Jiang Yingying walked toward Xiao Hei step by step.
Xiao Hei was so scared that it shook its head subconsciously and said, "Jiang Yingying, what else do you want to do? Isn't it enough to hit me?" "Enough?" Jiang Yingying sneered and said, "How could this punch be enough when compared with when you bullied me?
XiaoHei had always had a bad reputation in the village. He was very domineering. When he was a child, all the same age in the village had been beaten by him. Even now, he was very arrogant. Anyone in the village who didn't like him would be beaten by him directly. He never showed mercy. So if he was beaten, not only would he not be sympathized by others, but he would also make people feel happy.
"Xiao Hei has done so many evil things that even Liu Wei doesn't dare to deal with him. I didn't expect him to fall into Jiang Yingying's hands."
"He deserves it. It's his fault for being so arrogant. Now it’s his retribution." "But how could Jiang Yingying be so powerful? A girl has such great strength."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yingying, who had walked up to Xiao Hei, grabbed Xiao Hei by the collar and lifted it up with one hand.
This action made people feel even more horrified.
Except Samuel, who had a faint smile on his face, the others present all widened their eyes and could not believe it.
Although Xiao Hei is not big, it is an adult weighing more than 100 jin. How much effort does it take to lift him up with one hand?
"Jiang Yingying, let go of me first. Let's talk about it. I apologize to you. I’ll apologize to you, okay?" Xiao Hei said in a panic, his face full of horror.
Jiang Yingying had no expression on her face. She said coldly, "I've told you these things before, but how did you treat me?"
As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Yingying kicked Xiao Hei’s abdomen, but she did not let go. Xiao Hei swung back in the air because of the heavy attack, just like a swing.
Xiao Hei's heart-wrenching cry was even heard by this kick. Even the villagers couldn't bear to look at it with their shrill screams.
At this moment, all the villagers knew that Jiang Yingying came back for revenge in the manner of a king. Fortunately, most of the villagers only spoke ill of them behind their backs. They were not as straightforward as Xiao Hei and Liu Wei. Of course, anyone who said bad things about her and her mother would feel guilty after that, for fear that Jiang Yingying would know those words and take revenge.
"From today on, no one can bully me." Jiang Yingying's resentment, which had been accumulated for more than ten years, poured out at this moment. The moment she let go of Xiao Hei, she punched out.
Xiao Hei flew back again. This time, it did not give him a chance to scream, but directly made him faint.
Seeing this, the onlookers couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle. Those villagers all lowered their heads and didn't even dare to look directly into Jiang Yingying’s eyes.
Liu Wei, on the other hand, was so frightened that he almost peed in his pants. His legs were so weak that he was sitting on the ground. He didn't even have the strength to stand up.
"He Ting, I was too muddle-headed in the past, so I slandered you. It's been so many years. Let me go. I won't do it again." Liu Wei, who didn't want to be beaten, could only kneel on the ground and apologize.
He Ting had endured so many grievances. She had thought that she would skin Liu Wei alive, but when she saw Liu Wei kneeling down and kowtowing, her heart softened. After all, she couldn't kill Liu Wei just because of the things that had happened in the past.
"Auntie He, how do you plan to deal with this person? I can take responsibility for the consequences," Samuel said to He Ting.
These words were enough to frighten Liu Wei to death. He had no choice but to kowtow even harder.
He Ting sighed in her heart and said, "It doesn't matter anymore. I want to see the grave of my dead husband." "I'll lead the way. I'll lead the way," Liu Wei said quickly.
Since He Ting didn't blame them, Samuel wouldn't say anything more. The most important thing for him to bring them back today was to let the villagers know that they were living a good life and to stop the gossip. Now this goal had been achieved.
There was a special graveyard in the village. Almost everyone in the village would be buried here after death.
When they came to He Ting's dead husband's tomb, the tombstone had been smashed, and the whole tomb was full of all kinds of weeds.
He Ting and Jiang Yingying began to remove weeds from the grave without saying a word. Looking at the two people with tears in their eyes, Samuel had a faint smile on his face.
Jiang Yingying's father had passed away for so many years, but He Ting did not remarry. She raised Jiang Yingying by herself. In some ways, He Ting and Manfred seemed to be the same kind of people. In this life, after recognizing a person who they depended on, they would never have any feelings for another person.
"Who smashed it?" Samuel asked Liu Wei.
Liu Wei's heart trembled. Even the simple conversation with Samuel made him feel stressed. He didn't have the courage to speak loudly in front of such a big shot.
"Well... I'm not sure. After all, this place is not guarded every day," said Liu Wei.
"Help me find a few workers. I need to rebuild the cemetery, and then find another person who carves the characters and makes the monument. I'll give you half a day. Can you do that?" Samuel said.
"Yes, yes, I'll do it right away." Liu Wei quickly nodded his head. Even if he was only given half an hour, Liu Wei would have to agree. Even if he was given ten times the courage, he would not dare to refuse such a big shot.
Although the villagers did not follow them to the cemetery, they were watching from a distance. They never stopped talking about He Ting and Jiang Yingying.
Of course, at this moment, they did not dare to speak ill of the mother and daughter pair. Instead, they treated this matter with envy.
"Jiang Yingying is now prosperous. I didn't expect such a person to appear in our village." "She must be a big shot in the city now. I didn't expect that after so many years, she is the best woman in our village."
"I don't know who said that the mother and daughter must be begging in the city. They wore bright clothes and were escorted by so many luxury cars. How can they beg?"
Liu Wei's movements were quick. In less than ten minutes, he had found a few workers to work with. Even the materials had been brought along. However, it would still take some time to carve the tombstones.
"The tombstone will be delivered in three hours. If you think it’s too long, I can ask them to be quick." Liu Wei walked behind Samuel and said in a trembling voice.
Samuel shook his head slightly. Three hours was not long, and it was not even enough for He Ting and her daughter to tell their huaband and father about the old days.
"Give the place to them. After so many years, there must be a lot to say." Samuel finished speaking, he left the cemetery.
Liu Wei didn’t dare to stay any longer. He followed Samuel and left.
"Samuel, how did Yingying become so powerful?" Manfred followed beside Samuel and asked with a puzzled face. Just now, Manfred was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Although he had heard of Qi Hu being defeated by Jiang Yingying, he was still not as shocked as when he saw it with his own eyes.
From Manfred's point of view, this was simply an impossible matter. How could Jiang Yingying's small body contain such terrifying strength?
"Don't worry about it. It's a secret. I won't tell anyone for the time being," Samuel said.
Manfred curled his lips. Although he put on a dissatisfied expression, he no longer had any curiosity in his heart. As long as it was something that Samuel was unwilling to say, he would definitely not force it.
Liu Wei, who was following behind them, had a trace of suspicion between his eyebrows. The word "Samuel" was very familiar to him, as if he had heard of it somewhere, but he couldn't remember where it came from.
"Liu Wei, take me to Jiang Yingying's home, " Samuel said to Liu Wei.
Liu Wei was wondering where his sense of familiarity with the word "Samuel" came from when he suddenly heard Samuel's words. This was a subconscious reaction of his fear of Samuel.
"Alright, come with me," Liu Wei said.
There were winding paths in the countryside. Fortunately, it had not been raining recently; otherwise, it would have been difficult for them to walk on the muddy road. A few minutes later, they arrived at a shabby bungalow.
Xiao Hei took a deep breath and felt a chill on his back. He thought Samuel had left and the village had become his world again. He did not have to care about what Samuel had said before. It was not until then that he realized how stupid his idea was.
"Xiao Hei, did you offend Boss Hannigan? F *ck, don't say you know me." The man on the other side of the phone hung up in a panic, as if he didn't want to have anything to do with Xiao Hei.
On the way back to the city, He Ting said a lot of grateful words to Samuel. If it weren’t for him, she didn’t know if she would have the courage to go back to the village in this life.
In this regard, Samuel naturally did not need He Ting's gratitude, because he did not think that he had done anything. For him, such a small thing was just a piece of cake.
More importantly, Jiang Yingying would follow him to Tianqi, and she would face many unknown things. By doing so, Samuel had made it up to Jiang Yingying in advance.
When he returned to Hillside Villa, his next destination was to go back to Swallow City. He was not very interested in the worshiping of the ancestors, because Hangong Qianqiu of the Hannigan family would not take him with them every year. In the eyes of Hangong Qianqiu, Samuel did not seem to be a member of the
Hannigan family, so he was not qualified to do this.
Once, Samuel was very envious that Han Jun knelt in front of the ancestral temple to offer incense to the ancestors. But when he grew up, Samuel found that his idea was very ridiculous. Since he wasn't be treated as a Hannigan family, why did he envy the worship of the ancestors?
"Mom, I heard that many families put pressure on the Hannigan family after my father’s death. This time, when I go back, I will make it clear to them by the way," Samuel said to Gina.
After the death of Han Li, Hangong Qianqiu dominated the great power and could barely support the Hannigan family's situation. However, after the news of Hangong Qianqiu's death spread in Swallow City, Gina faced all the pressure. Even the families that had a good relationship with the Hannigan family wished to take a piece of fat from the Hannigan family. During that period, Gina was very uncomfortable. She even removed all the servants of the Hannigan family because all the servants were bought off.
"Mom will listen to you," Gina said.
"Manfred, send a message back to Swallow City. Those who have done something wrong to our Hannigan family, give them one day. Before tomorrow night, kneel in front of the Hannigan mansion and admit their mistakes. If they don't come tomorrow night, I will come to them in person and get even with them the day after tomorrow," Samuel said to Manfred.
Manfred felt his blood boil as he replied," Leave it to me. I guarantee that the news will spread throughout the entire city." "Samuel. Your aura is even stronger than that of your grandfather back then," Han Tianyang said with a smile. This was a joy that came from the bottom of his heart.
The stronger Samuel was, the more pleased Han Tianyang felt.
The Hannigan family would not decline because of his aging. Instead, it became stronger because of the existence of Samuel. This was something that Han Tianyang had never dared to imagine before.
"Grandpa, how can I compare with you? If it weren't for you, the Hannigan family wouldn't be where it is today," Samuel said.
Han Tianyang shook his head. He was just a pawn of the Hangong family. Without the support of the Hangong family, it was impossible for him to start from scratch and develop the Hannigan family to such a high level. Compared with Samuel, he used his own strength to conquer everything. Even Nangong Boling was willing to let him, an outsider, become the clan leader. This was not something that anyone could do.
"Don't be so modest to grandpa. Only you can make Nangong Boling come to Cloud City to see you in person," Han Tianyang said.
Speaking of Nangong Boling, Samuel suddenly thought of this man and asked," Has Nangong Boling left?"
"No, he is still staying in Cloud City. I reckon that he still wants you to inherit the position of Clan Lord." Said Yan Jun.
Samuel would go to Tianqi after the end of the Spring Festival. There was no time for him to go to the Nangong clan. Moreover,
Samuel did not care about the position of master at all.
However, the Nangong family was a huge force after all. For Samuel, there were only benefits and no harm to control the Nangong family.
"I’ll go and see him." Samuel said and looked at Yvonne.
Of course, Yvonne would not refuse. She nodded and said, "Go early and come back early. We've made soup at home."
"Okay.” Samuel responded and turned to leave.
Han Tianyang had a strong smile on his face. Although he wanted to restrain himself, he couldn't.
"I didn't expect that such a big family as Nangong would eventually fall into my grandson's hands. It's really surprising."
Han Tianyang couldn't help but say.
"Nangong Boling's dedication to Tianqi is not simple. An experienced and astute man like him must have some plans." Van Jun reminded him.
Han Tianyang nodded his head. He naturally understood this simple logic. Nangong Boling was a crafty old fox. How could he not ask for something in return to hand over the position of the Nangong family's Patriarch? However, he wasn’t too worried. After all, Samuel wasn't an easy person to deal with either.
Samuel was much younger than Nangong Boling, but he wouldn't lose in terms of scheming.
"I believe Samuel won't be at a disadvantage in this contest. After all, he has absolute initiative," Han Tianyang said.
Yan Jun nodded his head. That was also what he believed.
At this time, Han Tianyang found that Gina seemed to have something to say, as if she wanted to say something.
"Just say what you want to say," Han Tianyang said.
Gina glanced at Yvonne subconsciously and said, "Dad, Han Jun is still in Qin City. It's almost New Year's. Do you want to pick him up?"
In the past, Han Jun had pretended to be Samuel to come to Cloud City and almost ruined Yvonne's life. Gina knew that she shouldn't have mentioned him at this time, but she couldn't help it. After all, Han Jun was also her son.
Hearing this, Yvonne stood up without saying a word and went back to her room.
Gina sighed helplessly.
"It was his own fault that Han Jun went to jail. He's an adult, and he should pay for his actions," Han Tianyang said. He was also a grandson and Han Jun enjoyed the treatment of the young master of the Hannigan family. However, his achievements were not eye-catching.
On the other hand, Samuel had been rejected by his family since he was a child and had never enjoyed the treatment of a young master. However, he had walked out of the mud and had brought the Hannigan family supreme glory. In Han Tianyang's eyes, Han Jun was not only useless, but also unworthy of being called a member of the Hannigan family.
"Dad, he is completely disabled now. He can't do anything now. Let him go home and celebrate the Spring Festival," Gina said.
"Don’t I know why he's disabled? If he hadn’t had evil intentions towards Yvonne, Samuel would have treated him like this? Gina, this is the last time I warn you, don't mention this person in front of Samuel and Yvonne," Han Tianyang said coldly.
This was not because Han Tianyang was heartless, but because Han Jun was not worth it. If Han Jun succeeded in that matter, the consequences would be unimaginable. Han Tianyang did not care what Han Jun was going through. The evil fruit he had sown was not worthy of pity.
"I know." Gina lowered her head and said. Although she was indeed softhearted, Han Jun's mistakes were not worthy of forgiveness. She was not qualified to ask Samuel to forgive Han Jun.
At a certain hotel, after meeting up with Nangong Boling, Nangong Boling seemed very excited. The reason he had stayed in Cloud City all this while was that he wanted to meet up with Samuel.
"Samuel, when are you planning to return to the Nangong clan with me? There's still some ceremony needed for the succession of the Patriarch's position," asked Nangong Boling.
Samuel glanced at Nangong Yan next to Nangong Boling. This guy was the only surviving young man in the Nangong family. Logically speaking, the position of the homeowner should be handed over to him.
"After the end of the year, I will go to the Tianqi era, so I don't have time to go back to the Nangong clan with you," Samuel said.
Nangong Boling looked embarrassed and said, "Can't you squeeze out any time?" "Elder Yi is already in Cloud City. Do you want him to go to the Nangong clan with us?" Samuel asked.
Nangong Boling's expression changed. Did Elder Yi actually come to Cloud City?
Of course, he didn't dare to delay such a big shot, but what about the family head's affairs?
"I’ll be the family master and save the tedious ceremonies. But since I'm going to Tianqi era, I can't manage the Nangong family. So Nangong Yan will take care of these things for me for the time being. What do you think?" Samuel asked.
"Of course there's no problem. You can do whatever you want. The Nangong family is yours, so you are naturally in charge of it. However, I hope you can promise me one thing," said Nangong Boling.
Samuel had long guessed that Nangong Boling had some kind of motive for Tianqi. At this moment, this old fox was finally going to show its tail.
"What is it?" Samuel asked.
"I hope to go to Tianqi for once in my lifetime, and you can take me with you."
