Chapter 244: The Shan Family
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Before Han Xing could understand what Shan Ling was saying, the Shan family had already sent a car over after they got off the plane.
Shan Ling wanted Han Xing to get into the car with her, but the driver’s expression remained unchanged. He only pointed at another car.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Han. Your seat is in that car.”
In their eyes, Han Xing’s status was not worthy of sitting with Shan Ling.
Seeing that Shan Ling was about to lose her temper, Han Xing did not mind. Instead, he comforted her, “It’s okay. I’ll take that car.”
This imposing style was in line with the Shan family’s status. Although the Shan family could not compare to the Wang family in the Northern Province, they were still considered one of the top families.
The Shan family had been mining overseas in their early years. After they received their first wave of dividends, they directly established a production line. It was a little exaggerated to say that they were as rich as a country, but they were definitely as rich as the Northern Province.
There were at least a thousand people who wanted to curry favor with the Shan family. Han Xing also understood why the Shan family was so arrogant.
However, it was rare to have someone like Shan Ling in the Shan family. It was not like their family’s style at all.
After the two of them got out of the car, Butler Zhang followed closely behind. After walking for two to three minutes, they arrived at the main hall.
Because of the worship event, even the Shan family members who were on a business trip rushed back. When the branch family members saw Shan Ling, they greeted her one after another.
“Third Miss, you’re back. Why didn’t you play outside for a while longer this time?”
“Sister, I’ve already gotten the herbs you asked me to bring for you last time.
I’ll get someone to send them to your room.”
“Shan Ling, how did it go with the matter I asked you to do last time? You haven’t gotten back to me on that yet.”
This chattering voice trailed them the entire way. Han Xing finally saw how big the Shan family was. Just these random titles gave him a headache.
Shan Ling did not show any good attitude toward them. Seeing that they kept pestering her, she sneered and said, “Alright, can you not come and beg me for help? Don’t treat my dad like he’s dead, okay?”
“He’s not dead yet. Don’t try to establish your presence here with me. If there’s anything, go look for him!”
As soon as she said this, everyone’s expression changed. No one was thick-skinned enough to look for Shan Ling again. They were trying to curry favor with Shan Ling because of her special identity. In the end, after hearing what she said, no one was willing to try and suck up to her again.
Moreover, Shan Ling was not particularly favored by the Shan family head. They were just taking a chance.
“Third, your temper is getting worse. You don’t even care about your own brothers and sisters. I think all your years of studying have been in vain!”
A man with an imposing appearance came out from afar. His voice was not loud, but it was especially dignified. At this moment, no one dared to make a sound. Even Shan Ling could only reluctantly greet and say, “Brother, I just returned. Aren’t they making things difficult for me?”
Shan Wei sneered, “You still dare to talk back?”
He walked over slowly and raised his hand to slap Shan Ling. Shan Ling seemed to be used to this kind of life, but Han Xing grabbed Shan Wei’s hand.
“What are you trying to do?” Han Xing’s expression was dignified, and his eyes were extremely sharp. The aura around him was not inferior to Shan Wei’s.
Shan Wei’s arm was held firmly in the air by Han Xing. Even if he wanted to pull his hand back, he couldn’t do it. He said angrily, “Who are you? Where did this dog come from?”
“Crack!”
Han Xing twisted his arm forcefully, dislocating Shan Wei’s arm. He warned, “If you don’t know how to speak properly, 1 can teach you.”
“Ahhhhh!” Shan Wei was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat. He had never suffered such humiliation in his life. He shouted, “Security, where’s the security? Come over here!”
Shan Ling was also dumbfounded. She didn’t expect Han Xing to attack just like that. When she heard Shan Wei call for security, she hurriedly explained, “Brother, he’s my bodyguard. Don’t hit him!”
Shan Wei was so angry that he went crazy. A bodyguard dared to attack him. However, when he met Han Xing’s eyes, he did not dare to say anything else. He could only vent all his anger on Shan Ling.
“I think you’re looking down on me, your big brother! You actually dared to bring an outsider here to humiliate your brother today. If I don’t break his legs, he won’t be able to leave this house today!”
Shan Ling was also a little anxious. She retorted, “You were clearly the one who hit me first. He was just helping me to retaliate. Who asked you to hit me first?!”
Shan Wei’s body was already in pain at this moment. When he heard her rebellious remarks, he was so angry that he was trembling. There were so many younger brothers and sisters around him who were still watching, and he had made such a big joke out of himself.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Why don’t you take a look at which family you’re from? Let me tell you, if I don’t teach you a good lesson today, do you really think I’m useless?!”
At this moment, more than a dozen security guards had gathered around Shan Wei. They held electric batons in their hands and shouted in unison, “Young Master, if you have anything you want us to do, just a word from you is enough!”
Shan Wei laughed sinisterly and ordered, “Beat him up! No one will get off easily today!”
None of the surrounding descendants who were watching the commotion dared to say a word, afraid that trouble would befall them.
They knew very well what kind of person Shan Wei was. If they really started fighting, they might even be captured and beaten up.
Han Xing grabbed Shan Ling and made her stand behind him. He assured her, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you. I won’t let them touch even a strand of hair on your head.”
He finally understood why Shan Ling did not like to go home. Who would be willing to come back when they were beaten and reprimanded at home?
At this moment, a stern shout sounded, “I’m not dead yet. Shan Wei, are you showing off right now?”
A middle-aged man with an imposing appearance walked over and glared at Shan Wei.
Shan Wei was no longer as awe-inspiring as before. His voice was trembling as he exclaimed, “Dad?! Why are you here?”
“If I don’t come, do I have to personally witness you beating someone up?”
“Dad, 1 didn’t!” Shan Wei hurriedly explained. His body was in so much pain that he sounded weak when he spoke.
“Alright, why are you making a fool of yourself here for no reason? Hurry up and get the doctor!”
Shan Wei didn’t dare to say anything else. He could only let the bodyguards help him to find the family doctor. Han Xing glanced at the person in front of him. It was the head of the Shan family, Shan Qingyuan.
“Dad.” When Shan Ling saw Shan Qingyuan, she called out timidly
Han Xing was neither servile nor overbearing as he greeted, “Greetings to the head of the Shan family.”
Seeing Han Xing’s expression, Shan Qingyuan snorted coldly, “You’ve only just arrived and you’re caused all this to happen. Your Han family sure is daring!”
Han Xing was shocked. He didn’t expect that they had investigated his identity. Was it when they first met at the airport or were Shan Ling’s actions closely monitored from the start?
However, when he thought about how he had been left alone, Han Xing smiled and said, “The Shan family will presumably not use things to suppress others. 1 naturally admire the Shan family’s style of the strong bullying the weak..”
