Dating My Scumbag Ex's Uncle Novel - Chapter 139

Chapter 139: Lesson

Tong Le arrived as fast and as furious as lightning. I pretended to not see the fury on his face. I threw myself at him with my arms wide open. “Little uncle, I’ve missed you so much!”

I could feel his anger dissipating. He was always powerless around me. Then again, I could douse Jing Tian’s anger, so my little uncle who felt guilty towards me was a piece of cake.

For the sake of face, Tong Le pulled me off him and he reprimanded me sternly, “Stand properly! Do you have no bones?”

I righted myself but still leaned towards him. “My little uncle, I really, really miss you so much so that I regret living on campus.” I had achieved another victory.

The flame in Tong Le’s heart dwindled further. “It’s too late now! Even if you regret it, you have to stay there! You’re already old enough to take responsibility for your own decisions!”

I nodded reluctantly. “Of course, my little uncle is always right!”

Tong Le was silent. I cursed internally. That was the wrong thing to say!

Tong Le circled around me and scoffed. “I am always right? Then why did Sister Xing hack into my computer? Who gave you the idea to do something like that? Is it Jing Tian? So now that you’re in M University, my words don’t matter anymore?” He stood before me and roared, “So why did you hack into my computer?”

His roar sent me stumbling back. I tapped my ears and pleaded, “Little uncle, please don’t be so angry.”

“Angry? You have not seen me angry yet!” He rolled up his sleeves and stomped towards me.

I hurriedly retreated to hide behind the couch. “Little uncle, calm down. Let’s talk this over.”

“Talk? Will you even listen to me?” He growled.

“Of course, when have I not listened to you?” A wise woman knew how to take her losses. I continued to hide behind the couch as I pleaded for mercy. “My little uncle, your words are like the imperial edict to me, I will always listen to them. I might have not followed all of them in the past but I will in the future. Little uncle, don’t be angry.”

“Go and stand there!” He shouted.

I obliged obediently. “Little uncle, I’ll be good I swear!”

Tong Le gritted his teeth as he turned into the kitchen. I heard him demand. “Where’s the rolling pin?” Then he came out with a long rolling pin.

“Little uncle, I’ve really learned my lesson. I’ve admitted to my mistake. Are you really going to hit me?” I cried as I ran away from him.

He held the rolling pin and sneered. “Finally I got you to reveal your true form. Didn’t you say you’d listen to me? So why did you move? You never really wanted to apologize to me! Don’t think I’ll be placated by a few sweet words! Do you think I’m as easily-fooled as Jing Tian?”

“Am I that easily-fooled?” Jing Tian appeared at the door.

I heaved a sigh of relief. Thankfully the help was here, or else I would be in for a beating that day. I had a feeling Tong Le was really going to beat me. Of course, he would feel the pain as much as I did.

Tong Le turned to Jing Tian angrily, “How did you get here so quickly? Who tattled to you? No matter, don’t even think of begging on her behalf today! Do you know what she has done?

“What have you taught her in class? You promised me she was taking her classes very seriously. What kind of nonsense she has learned from you?! To go around behind people’s back like that!

“She came back from campus and the first thing she did was to hack into my computer and database! This is the good student that you’ve taught. Do you really think she doesn’t deserve a beating? If you dare to stop me today, I’ll make sure that you won’t ever see her again for the rest of your life! Try me!”

Facing Tong Le’s roars, Jing Tian didn’t even raise his eyebrows. “Who said I’m here to stop you? Feel free to beat some sense into her. And after you’re done, I have to teach her some lessons too!”

Tong Le was displeased. “What? Who said you can do that? What has she done wrong? Who are you to teach her any lesson? Also what right do you have that you’ve come to my home to teach her a lesson? Let me tell you, she’s my only niece. If anyone dares to touch her, I’ll make them suffer.”

Jing Tian was still as calm as ever. “What right do I have? I’m her teacher. Is that not enough? The mistake that she made is that she couldn’t even hack into your computer without setting off the alarm. That is hugely embarrassing to me as her teacher!”

Jing Tian’s statements were aimed at me. Only I could see the gentleness in his eyes!

He knew my little uncle’s weaknesses too well. He knew just the buttons to push.
