Everything happened too fast.

Wang Xue watched as the woman's hand slapped Xiao Hu's tender cheek with a whooshing sound.

Her mind was instantly consumed by intense rage.

The body moves faster than the mind.

"Holy crap!"

A sharp shout came from her throat.

Her once gentle and apologetic face instantly turned frosty.

The woman's hands were still in mid-air. She grabbed Xiao Hu's clothes with her left hand and pulled him back slightly, while swinging her right hand with all her might.

Instead of blocking, he slapped her back at her face, which was contorted with rage, with even greater speed and force!

“Pah!”

A crisp, resounding slap landed squarely on the woman's left cheek.

The woman was completely unprepared for her seemingly quiet and easily bullied mother to suddenly retaliate.

She felt a sharp pain in her left cheek, her ears were ringing, and she saw stars before her eyes.

The force of the impact caused her to stagger backward involuntarily. Her outstretched hand slapped past Xiao Hu a short distance in front of her, and her buttocks slammed heavily against the armrest of her chair. She then slumped back into her seat in a disheveled state, almost tipping the chair over.

The whole process took less than two seconds.

It was only then that diners at several nearby tables realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise.

The little tiger cried even louder after being frightened.

The crying broke through the surrounding noise and reached Luo Fei, who was chatting in the distance.

He was listening to the fourth brother tell funny stories, a smile playing on his lips.

Hearing Xiao Hu crying made him frown. He turned his head in confusion and looked toward the source of the sound.

Just then, they saw Wang Xue withdraw her hand, the woman stagger and fall to her seat, and Xiao Hu burst into tears beside Wang Xue's legs.

The smile on Luo Fei's face vanished instantly.

His gaze sharpened.

He suddenly stood up from the chair!

With such speed and force, the solid wood dining chair beneath him was knocked backward and crashed to the ground by the power of his legs.

At the same time, he shouted "Boss".

Then he walked in the direction where Wang Xue and Xiao Hu were.

The sudden sound startled the two people who were chatting enthusiastically. They stopped talking and looked at Luo Fei with a puzzled expression.

"The third son?"

All they saw was Luo Fei's gloomy face.

The two turned their heads in the direction he was facing.

Only then did I realize that something seemed to have happened over there, and everyone around was looking in that direction.

"Holy crap!"

Zhang Zhigang's gaze shifted to his wife and children, and his expression immediately changed. He abruptly stood up; his burly figure created a gust of wind.

Zhao Zixuan also stopped smiling, his eyes turned serious, and he stood up.

The three brothers walked quickly toward the scene of the incident.

Meanwhile, the restaurant manager and several waiters noticed the commotion and rushed over, their faces showing tension.

At this moment, the unruly child sitting in the chair saw his mother being hit, so he stood up on the chair and shouted.

"You filthy woman, how dare you hit my mother! I'll get my father to beat you to death!"

The woman slumped back into her chair, covering her burning face, stunned for a good two or three seconds.

Her cheeks quickly became red and swollen.

While feeling the pain, I was also filled with disbelief.

She actually got hit?

He got slapped in the face by that seemingly weak and easily bullied woman?!

And in front of his son, in a restaurant with so many people?!

"You dare hit me?!" She suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with resentment, her voice becoming sharp with anger.

She saw Wang Xue bending down to comfort her crying son, and her nonchalant demeanor only fueled her anger.

Reason was completely consumed by madness.

She didn't think about why the other person's slap had been so powerful.

A wicked thought took hold of his mind—if he couldn't beat the adults, he'd take it out on that brat! Make him feel pain! Make the adults feel heartache!

The woman screamed and leaped from the chair like a madwoman. Instead of rushing towards Wang Xue, she raised her high-heeled foot and kicked Xiao Hu's shin hard, which Wang Xue was trying to soothe!

That kick was fast and powerful!

"Be careful!"

"stop!"

Nearby diners exclaimed in surprise.

Wang Xue was looking down at her son when she realized something was wrong, but it was too late to completely protect him.

Just as the heel was about to kick Xiao Hu.

A white plate came flying through the air at an astonishing speed!

"Whoosh—Bang!"

It struck the woman's raised shinbone with perfect accuracy!

The porcelain plate shattered!

Fragments flew everywhere!

"ah--!"

The woman let out an even more miserable cry of pain than before.

He lost his balance again, clutching his throbbing calf, staggered backward, and slumped back into his chair in a disheveled state, cold sweat beading on his forehead and his face contorted in pain.

Luo Fei was already standing half a step in front of Wang Xue and Xiao Hu.

His eyes were a few degrees colder than before.

That plate was something he casually picked up from a nearby table and threw.

He also suppressed his anger and controlled his strength.

Otherwise, the woman's calf injury would have been more than just a simple injury.

Zhang Zhigang and Zhao Zixuan also arrived at Luo Fei's side at this time.

Zhang Zhigang saw the tears on his son's face and then saw the woman trying to attack his son, and he instantly flew into a rage!

He was already a burly man, and now his eyes were wide open in anger, the veins on his neck were bulging, like an enraged brown bear about to charge forward.

"You fucking want to die!" A thick arm was already raised.

"Boss, calm down!" Zhao Zixuan reacted even faster, grabbing Zhang Zhigang's waist tightly and whispering urgently, "Don't do it! The baby's still here!"

Although his face was also gloomy and his eyes were fixed on the woman with hostility, he still had his senses and knew that in this situation, especially with Xiao Hu still there, it would have a great impact on the child if the adults directly took action.

Luo Fei also stepped aside, blocking Zhang Zhigang, and shook his head slightly at him.

Zhang Zhigang's chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, but he was eventually stopped by the two men. He just stared at the woman with murderous intent.

At this moment, the restaurant manager and two waiters finally squeezed through.

"Guests, guests! Calm down! Please calm down! What happened?" The manager, a middle-aged man in his forties, stood between the two sides, sweat beading on his forehead.

The woman sat in the chair, clutching her swollen cheek and throbbing leg, gasping for breath in pain, tears streaming down her face.

But even worse than the pain was the overwhelming anger and humiliation.

She looked at the three men who had suddenly appeared, especially the burly and intimidating Zhang Zhigang, and then at the manager blocking her way. She knew that she wouldn't be able to gain any advantage on her own today.

But to let her swallow this insult? Absolutely not!

Her gaze swept past the manager, then swept venomously over Wang Xue and Xiao Hu, finally landing on Luo Fei and the other two.

"Fine...you guys are something else! So you're trying to gang up on us, huh? You even want to hit a woman, huh?"

Her voice was shrill, filled with sobs and hatred.

"You just wait!"

As she spoke, she ignored the manager who was trying to mediate and picked up her phone with trembling hands.

She swiped her finger forcefully across the screen, found a number labeled "Husband," and dialed it.

The call was answered quickly.

"Feed? Honey! Stop eating! I've been beaten up at the hotel's third-floor buffet! Come quick! Yes! There are several of them. My face is swollen, and my leg is injured! Bring more people! Bring a lot of people! I want them to kneel down and apologize to me!"

She cried and screamed into the phone, so loudly that everyone around could hear her.

After hanging up the phone, she slammed it on the table, raised her swollen face, and stared at Luo Fei and the others with a vicious look in her eyes, as if to say: You're all finished.

The restaurant manager's face darkened further; things were clearly about to escalate.

The diners watching the commotion whispered amongst themselves, some even taking out their phones to secretly film the scene.

Luo Fei took the crying Xiao Hu from Wang Xue's arms and gently patted his back. The little guy seemed to feel safe, and his crying gradually subsided, though he was still sobbing.

He then looked up at the woman who was making a phone call, and then at the anxious manager and the surrounding crowd.

He whispered to the still angry eldest brother and the solemn-faced fourth brother beside him, "It's nothing."
