TNIBFT -Chapter 133 This Dad is Really Scary!

Inside the room.

Little chubby Shi Hao looked dejected, standing behind the thin, wiry boy.

The boy was a head taller than Shi Hao; one was fat, the other thin, and they didn’t look alike. The boy’s expression was one of annoyance as he got up to leave.

Shi Hao tugged at the boy’s sleeve. “Brother, this is a brush I bought with money I’ve been saving for a long time. Why are you—”

“Today is your birthday. I thought for a long time before letting Dad come out to eat with you. Brother, we’re a family.”

Shi Hao spoke carefully, his eyes full of pity and longing, full of admiration for his brother.

“Let go! Who wants your gift? Who do you think you are? Just because you bought something, I have to accept it?”

Shi Xuan (the boy) disdainfully shook off Shi Hao’s hand.

Shi Hao’s pitiful expression only made Shi Xuan feel disgusted.

He glared at Shi Hao and spoke word by word: “I am not your brother. I don’t have a pig-like little brother. You’re not allowed to call me brother ever again!” After saying this, Shi Xuan stomped on the broken brush lying on the floor.

“And if you ever lie to me again, I’ll make sure you die!”

His expression was fierce; there was not a shred of brotherly feeling in his face.

Shi Hao froze in place, stunned.

Outside the window, Ye Shuangxue frowned as she watched, muttering, “Useless!”

She hadn’t expected that Shi Hao, who was so impressive at school, would become a pushover in front of his own brother.

Why did he have to try so hard to please him?

After all this, shouldn’t he get a good beating instead?

Ye Shuangxue felt indignant.

“See something?”

Yuan Heipang, standing nearby as lookout, turned curiously toward Ye Shuangxue.

Seeing someone approaching, he awkwardly forced a smile. “Enjoy your meal!”

“Really nice, really nice!”

The voice outside was a bit loud.

Shi Xuan, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, knew perfectly well that he shouldn’t behave like this. The violent aura around him immediately calmed down a bit, and without looking back, he opened the door and left.

As he opened the private room door, he saw a child in a bright red padded jacket leaning against the window, peeking inside. Shi Xuan’s anger flared: “You dare peek?”

“Do you even know who I am?”

“Get down!”

Shi Xuan’s face turned red with fury as he rushed over to Ye Shuangxue. Without a word, he reached out to hit her.

Shi Xuan was much taller than Ye Shuangxue; as his hand came down, Yuan Heipang’s eyes widened, mouth agape, horrified: “No…!”

He was completely stunned.

Ye Tian’s daughter, under his care, was about to be hit. What could he, the store manager, do?

At that moment, Yuan Heipang had only one thought in his mind.

The next second, Ye Shuangxue shifted slightly and kicked Shi Xuan in the stomach. “BANG!”

Shi Xuan flew backward, his back slamming hard against the railing on the second floor.

The railing wobbled slightly.

Ye Shuangxue patted her little hand, puffed up her small face, and gently pushed the railing. Seeing that it wasn’t broken, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the still-shaken Yuan Heipang with a smile: “Don’t worry, it’s fine.”

Yuan Heipang panted heavily, his heart racing.

Grandma, is this what you were worried about?

No matter what, it was fine as long as the little ancestor wasn’t hurt. Seeing Ye Shuangxue staring at him, Yuan Heipang forced a smile that was even uglier than crying.

Too intense!

Shi Xuan struggled on the ground. Hearing the commotion, Shi Hao rushed out of the private room. Just as he stepped outside, he saw Ye Shuangxue standing at the doorway. Shi Hao froze. “You’re here too?”

Before he could finish,

“Shi Hao, was that you?”

Shi Xuan, lying on the ground, was furious. Clutching his stomach, he pulled himself up and pointed at Shi Hao, shouting, “You two were in cahoots, huh? Fine! I didn’t accept your gift, so you had someone come beat me up? You deliberately had someone wait at the door, didn’t you?”

“No… Brother, listen to me!” Shi Hao stepped forward to explain.

Shi Xuan’s anger flared. Seeing Shi Hao approach, he swung a hard slap, landing squarely on Shi Hao’s face.

The sound was loud.

Passing customers froze in place.

Shi Xuan’s palm trembled from the force.

Shi Hao held his face with one hand, standing there silently, neither resisting nor arguing.

“Who gave you the right to hit someone?” Ye Shuangxue couldn’t take it. Like an angry little lion, she charged forward, yelling at Shi Xuan. Yuan Heipang immediately stepped up, holding her back helplessly: “Miss, don’t cause trouble, this isn’t our business.”

Shi Xuan stepped back a few paces, keeping his distance from Ye Shuangxue.

Seeing her restrained, he puffed up his chest and asked, “Who gives you the right?”

“I do, because I’m his brother! The eldest brother is like a father—don’t you get that? When I speak, does he dare resist?”

“You…”

“You shameless!”

Ye Shuangxue ground her teeth in anger. Earlier, Shi Xuan had denied being Shi Hao’s brother, and now he shamelessly admitted it.

“Shi Hao, just wait! I’ll deal with you when we get home!”

Many onlookers had gathered. Shi Xuan, studying at the city academy, didn’t want to lose face in public.

He spat out the threat and was about to leave.

“Thump, thump, thump…”

Urgent footsteps sounded from the stairs. Ye Shuangxue turned to look and saw a middle-aged man in a plain yellow jacket, wearing a square hat, hurrying over.

Shi Xuan’s expression grew even more smug upon seeing him.

“What’s going on here?” The middle-aged man was none other than Shi Xuan and Shi Hao’s father, Shi Shanxiang.

His tone was helpless, eyes full of reproach. He glanced around, embarrassed. His stout body heaved from climbing the stairs quickly, gasping for breath.

“That’s something you should ask your fine son!” Shi Xuan said with a cold snort.

Shi Shanxiang frowned, glanced at the silent Shi Hao, and felt a twinge of displeasure. But afraid his eldest son would get angry, he quickly approached Shi Xuan and spoke gently: “You have a lot of schoolwork, our hopes rest on you. This little matter, leave it to your father. Here—ten taels of silver, take it.”

“Today’s your birthday. Buy whatever you want. If you need something, just send someone home to fetch it.”

Full-blown old-school doting father vibes.

A harmonious picture of filial piety.

Only Shi Hao, holding his face, felt completely invisible.

After pampering the eldest, Shi Shanxiang turned to Shi Hao. His face instantly changed: “You upset your brother again? You’re grown, and you can’t do anything right! All you do is eat and get fat. What use are you?”

The difference in treatment between the two sons was stark.

Ye Shuangxue’s little brain was completely baffled.

They’re both his sons—why does Shi Hao’s father treat him like this?

Ye Tian wouldn’t!

Shi Hao held his swollen cheek, head bowed, too scared to speak.

The onlookers gradually lost interest and dispersed. Seeing his rival cower like this, being bullied without a word, Ye Shuangxue suddenly said, “His brother hit him first! Why don’t you ask? His face is still swollen. His brother even broke the gift Shi Hao gave him. He’s not a good brother.”

Hearing someone speak up for him, Shi Hao looked up, his dark eyes brimming with tears.

“What do you know?”

Shi Shanxiang’s expression darkened. He turned to Shi Hao, voice cold: “If your brother hit you, it’s because you did something wrong. You need to examine yourself. Brothers should be friendly and respectful. If you respect your brother, would he still hit you?”
