Chapter 4
Xiao Hu Wang Er was terrified and dodged behind the table, “What do you want to do?”pxEjyVFasbDeYqTnkMoqntWOVGiMWk
UWqPneEcBKMNLhiThe young master puffed up his cheeks, “I’m going to teach you a lesson and make you understand the rules of the Yue family!” Saying this, he brandished a stick and charged at him.ecDTxAvOAhYGKGMtKwupIfEudfSsXB
HvmqYMeDDWAnVFLAlthough Xiao Hu Wang Er wasn’t smart, he wasn’t stupid either. It’s not like anyone would stand around to be beaten, so he ran away. However, he remembered from last time that running outside made it easy for adults to notice him, and they would be his helpers, making him even more unlucky. So, he didn’t run outside but ran in circles with Yue Siming inside the room.NNLIILXzQABCXyCaknAgUYbogEkiwP
SEMzVsNYMjKDGdsAfter a few rounds, Yue Siming was the first to give up. Being pampered and rarely engaging in such strenuous activity, he was soon out of breath and plopped down on the bed, unable to move.VosdVcOqJdDmejpOdCmikatgbsZnAH

ZRxztGeMilqBnkwYoung Master Yue put on a pretentious look of benevolence, “That’s why you need to learn. You should thank me; otherwise, you’d never have a chance to learn in your lifetime.”BzHoAeZUpVTAiJQcZggJeKBmlRDval
vhdtidqbkgoNolyXiao Hu Wang Er’s face fell in dejection. His original plan had also failed. If he ran away and caused his parents to be sent to jail…LbPpCOBZYStVidfyMpHNGhJXGZfHBT
vOqAXoBVrRFkFHdSeeing that his intimidation had worked, Yue Siming immediately intensified his tactics, “So you’re going to stay here properly and listen to me. I’m your young master, and you have to do whatever I say. If you dare disobey me, I’ll beat you.”MHTIcqZxuBNIWMfjXVkViMRTRxWhRT
blnxrGSJBHqQwkKThe child sat dejectedly on the ground, saying nothing.fejtAAzntxundIFMRMRRApVsiPXpOe
LhPLMznRoPFEuJCHe didn’t understand why his parents agreed to send him here. Although his family was poor, they still had food to eat. Young Master Yue was harsh and mean; he would surely be bullied every day here. The child was a bit sad, after all, he was only five years old. Experiencing the feeling of being abandoned by his family once was enough to make his eyes redden.XnHSbpafVhjWSiFrGICEcQaaObyaTL
uhttYWiaHIHQlDKSeeing that his scare tactics had been effective, Yue Siming shifted to a more conciliatory approach. He pulled out a large box of snacks from somewhere and pushed it in front of him, “Actually, if you just obediently listen to me, I’ll take you out to have fun and give you good things to eat every day.”YEQtTrcPXaYLGTEfpixCuLRZrlgysV
sGZvDAiPCLHZYbiThe child immediately grabbed a snack and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling as he chewed, “Really?” It tasted so good. If he could eat delicious food every day, being here wouldn’t be so bad.xsZwuzarXfqgywPkbDnXthUvqEkLoY
CLKAArGFuvNemGcThe child’s mood changed rapidly, quickly distracted by the food. He forgot about crying and focused on devouring the entire plate of treats.dPFatsGVzjDKpAqUwVmYcQNbVODhtF

COHgSoWEemHRqrEYue Yinggui nodded, agreeing that finding a companion for his son was indeed a good thing. Usually, this child was too reclusive, staying indoors or sitting alone in a daze all day. He rarely acted like a child, so seeing him like this was somewhat comforting.oLrRDBzaWEvOJBMbwyAnVPMmCytvnP

So many old doctors with decades of experience wouldn’t dare say that. He’s so young—what skills could he have? Even after he came, I was still the same as before, but he managed to charm my father and deceive everyone in the house, treating him like a master. He’s a fox spirit. I hate him. I hate him so much.” The young master furiously jabbed the twig into the ground to show his anger.gHuPVxqUQwziDzMFIXCFoZCSRvXmjQ
