Chapter 987 - Priorities (1/2)
”Xiu, did you really beat someone?” asked Xiao Li when they all stopped joking around or it should be said when they stopped teasing Dylan.
”I did,” answered Xiu. Even before he could ask why, she elaborated, ”That bloody son of a bachelor actually dared to cheat on Ash with her best friend. How could I let him be? I had to teach him a lesson.”
Ah-Si clapped as he said, ”Sister Xiu, that's awesome! He definitely won't be forgetting this lesson.”
Ashley looked at Ah-Si as she asked, ”Brother Si, did you also taste the beating?”
She had been wondering that for a while now. Since earlier they talked ambiguously she wasn't certain about it so she had to ask now.
Ah-Si grimaced but told her honestly, ”I did. She beat the hell out of me.”
”I say, you had it better,” commented Nora. ”You didn't see what she did this time around. That guy would be having nightmares every single time he felt turned on.”
Ah-Si breathed out, ”I also think she somehow went easy on me back then.”
Ashley looked at Xiu and asked, ”Sister-in-law, why did you beat your own brother?”
”Because he made my best friend cry,” replied Xiu matter-of-factly.
”You did?” Ashley turned to Ah-Si.
He rubbed the back of his neck saying, ”Well, I'm guilty of that.”
Ashley couldn't help laughing a little when she heard this. She didn't expect that her sister-in-law would have been savage enough to beat even her own brother for her best friend. It only showed that Xiu would stand up for people she cared even before people who were family to her. She was really someone one could trust and depend on. At least, she found an emotional pillar in her.
”But isn't it unfair?” questioned Xiao Li as he put he crossed his arms behind his head and laid down the green grass lazily soaking the sun.
”What's unfair, Li bro?” asked Xiu in return.
”One hand can't clap, my sweetheart sister,” reminded Xiao Li. ”If he cheated, he didn't do it alone. Ash's best friend should hold the same amount of responsibility as he did.”
”I am with Li bro on this,” added Darren.
Xiu thought about it and punched Nora's arm, ”Why didn't you remind me of that?”
”Perhaps I was having too much fun,” replied Nora. ”So, I forgot about the other party involved.”
Xiu rubbed her hands together, ”After going back, let's tie up that bitch.”
”Xiu,” called out Cali to Xiu. ”Stop being violent. You already have an eight-year-old son. Do you have to think about beating people all the time?”
”Why can't I?” retorted Xiu. ”I'm only thirty.”
”Just now you said you're getting old,” reminded Cali.
”That's different!” Xiu took a pause and added, ”Besides, who said I was gonna beat that bitch up after tying her up? I have better ways to deal with a 'friend' like her.”
”Still,” insisted Cali. ”Isn't it tiring?”
”Definitely not!”
Cali shook her head at Xiu, not knowing what to say to her. ”You've loved kickboxing since you're young. I never thought it'd turn into such a passion of yours.”
