Murong Qingqing's guess was spot on; Wei Zhengnan's father, Wei Xiong, had indeed beaten Wei Zhengnan and Qian Li so frantically because he had recognized Hu Xiaobei.

The moment Wei Xiong saw Hu Xiaobei, he recognized him straight away...

It was precisely because he recognized the young man as Hu Xiaobei that he knew his son and wife had been spouting nonsense just now.

Since he knew that Master Xiaobei was absolutely not the type to hit people indiscriminately, it must have been something those two had done earlier to anger Master Xiaobei...

Thinking thus, Wei Xiong looked at Hu Xiaobei and rapidly, with great tension, apologized, "Master Xiaobei, this... this is all a misunderstanding! My wife and son are blind... I beg you not to stoop to their level!"

Hearing his father apologizing so humbly, Wei Zhengnan was slightly stunned.

Soon, Wei Zhengnan's eyes widened as he looked at Hu Xiaobei...

After that, Wei Zhengnan's gaze grew vacant, and after a long while, he opened his mouth somewhat dryly, "He... He... Is actually Hu Xiaobei?"

Upon realizing that this person who had thrown him out like trash was Hu Xiaobei, Wei Zhengnan's expression instantly darkened to the extreme!

Wei Zhengnan had no good feelings toward Hu Xiaobei.

He felt that he was the leading figure among the young generation in the county and that all the attention should be on him. But it was Hu Xiaobei who had stolen all the attention that belonged to him.

In his view, this was absolutely unforgivable, so he had hated Hu Xiaobei to death from the start...

While Wei Zhengnan was looking at Hu Xiaobei with such resentment, Qian Li, whose face was swollen from Wei Xiong's punches, was also stunned with her eyes wide open.

After a while, she muttered to herself, "This... this young man is actually Hu Xiaobei? I... I was just trying to outdo him in wealth? This is really like showing off in front of Guan Yu."

After such self-mockery, her face flushed red, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

She now understood why that young man had been so calm all along, and she also understood why Wei Xiong had beaten her so severely...

...

Unaware of their thoughts, Hu Xiaobei looked at the middle-aged man with an embarrassed face, "I remember you're called Wei Xiong, right?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei utter his name, Wei Xiong nodded excitedly, saying, "Yes, Master Xiaobei, I'm Wei Xiong. I didn't expect you to remember me!"

Feeling Wei Xiong's excitement, Hu Xiaobei chuckled lightly, "Of course, I remember. When my 'Xiaobei Brand' was unknown, you came to us on your own, helped us with the packaging, and even gave us a very low price."

"Didn't expect Master Xiaobei to remember it so clearly!"

"I could never forget it in my life! After all, you were the only one willing to help me at that time."

"Master Xiaobei, you don't have to remember it. Since that time, you've been helping me all along! To be honest, if it wasn't for your connections, my factory would have closed down long ago."

"Ha-ha, a favor in a water droplet, repaid with a spring. When I was in trouble, you helped me; how could I ignore you afterwards? Would I still be human?"

After saying this, Hu Xiaobei glanced at the mother and son kneeling on the ground, then spoke, "Wei Xiong, would you mind stepping aside with me for a chat?"

"Master Xiaobei, what are you talking about? Of course, I don't mind!"

"Alright then!"

While conversing, Hu Xiaobei glanced again at the mother and son...

To him, Hu Xiaobei no longer cared about them, as they were just a pair of clowns after all...

...

Watching his father walk away with Hu Xiaobei, Wei Zhengnan quickly crawled to his mother, Qian Li, and after looking at her, he asked anxiously, "Mom, snap out of it! Hu Xiaobei is full of tricks; who knows what he'll say to Dad? Hurry and check on them!"

Hearing Wei Zhengnan speak so anxiously, Qian Li, who had come back to her senses, frowned slightly and said, "I want to, but going over now is pointless. You know your father, and you know he won't listen to me in these situations!"

After hearing this, Wei Zhengnan roared in exasperation, venomously saying, "It's all because of that Hu Xiaobei! I want to kill him. I want to completely destroy him!"

Wei Zhengnan had already hated Hu Xiaobei before, but now, his resentment was so strong that he wanted to tear Hu Xiaobei to pieces...

Hearing Wei Zhengnan's words filled with venom, Qian Li's face changed!

Quickly, she raised her hand and fiercely slapped Wei Zhengnan. After slapping him, she growled impatiently, "Shut up! You still want to provoke him? Do you know? With just a flick of his finger, he could crush us!"

Before, not knowing that the young man was Hu Xiaobei, Qian Li had dared to be wild in front of him.

But now that she knew, she didn't dare at all.

Because she was clearly aware of the terrifying gap between herself and Hu Xiaobei...

Wei Zhengnan, whose mouth was twitching fiercely after being slapped by Qian Li, spoke again with a tone of grievance, "I..."

Hearing that he was about to spout more nonsense, Qian Li glanced at him impatiently and said with a deep tone, "Are you deaf? I told you to shut up!"

"Yes!"

Wei Zhengnan, not daring to anger Qian Li, quickly shut his mouth...

After Wei Zhengnan had silenced himself, Qian Li narrowed her eyes slightly...

"Did that Hu Xiaobei pull Wei Xiong aside because he discovered something? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! He's just a damn farmer, he can't discern anything."

After reassuring herself a few times, Qian Li narrowed her eyes...

She was filled with regret now!

Really!

If she had known earlier that the young man was Hu Xiaobei, she would have definitely not sought trouble earlier, and even less dared to show off in front of him...

...

While she was drowning in her regrets, Hu Xiaobei and Wei Xiong had stepped aside.

"Master Xiaobei, my son and wife don't recognize you, earlier on..."

Hearing him make excuses for them, Hu Xiaobei waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about that harmony now. I have a very important matter to ask you right now!"

"Alright, go ahead!"

"Is that Wei Zhengnan really your son?"

"Master Xiaobei, what... what do you mean by that?"

"I just feel that he isn't blood-related to you."

"How... how is that possible!"

Seeing his shocked expression, Hu Xiaobei knew he couldn't accept this news for the time being.

Before speaking out, Hu Xiaobei had guessed that this would be the result after he revealed the truth.

But he still couldn't bear to see him kept in the dark any longer!

Hu Xiaobei knew that exposing everything now would give him a chance to start over!

Thinking this way, Hu Xiaobei looked at him and spoke again, "I know you can't accept it, but this is the truth!"

"I... I understand, I will ask and clear things up!"

After taking a deep breath, he ran off quickly!

Hu Xiaobei watched him run back, and silently followed...

...

"Dad's back!"

Outside, Wei Zhengnan's eyes lit up upon seeing Wei Xiong return.

Hearing Wei Zhengnan's words, Qian Li stood up.

Just as she was about to say something, Qian Li suddenly noticed that Wei Xiong's expression was very ugly.

"Could it be... could he really know?"

The moment this thought flashed through her mind, she hastily said, "Husband, you..."

Wei Xiong, upon hearing her speak, interrupted directly, "Shut up! You tell me, which rogue did you give birth to Wei Zhengnan with?"
