Chapter 213 Impulse
As soon as he said that, Liu Ou retorted with a sentence, "You can tell she's not great at studying, right? That's just a toad lusting after a swan's flesh."
Behind Liu Huan, a clearly drunk boy snorted and chuckled.
Liu Huan's face darkened with shame and anger, and he turned back to scold, "What the hell are you laughing at?"
The boy hurriedly waved his hands, "Sorry, Huan bro."
Luo Yanran on the other hand didn't bother with them and directly took out her phone to call the police, "Hello, I want to report sexual harassment by a group of people, the address is at..."
"You fucking bitch! Who's sexually harassing you?" one of the boys cursed.

Liu Huan also reached out, trying to grab Luo Yanran's phone, "What are you doing!"
Xie Xiao protected the person behind him and stepped back a few paces, fiercely kicking a chair towards them, his voice filled with anger, "What? Ate shit for supper? Why the foul mouth?"
Lin Yu wanted to grab a beer bottle as a weapon but realized they hadn't ordered any drinks that day; there wasn't anything handy around.
At this moment, the restaurant owner noticed the commotion outside and hurried over, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you young people doing? Can't we talk this out nicely?"
Ultimately, a fight didn't break out.
The owner called over a few employees.
Liu Huan and his group didn't dare to really cause trouble, especially since Luo Yanran had already called the police.
They were drunk but not totally senseless.
Liu Huan was sober enough to understand that he was just too infuriated, acting impulsively to come over here, thinking what can a few good students do?
Insult them and leave.
He hadn't expected that before he could finish speaking, they would call the police on them.
Liu Huan and his friends cursed a few obscenities and turned to leave.
Then they heard Luo Yanran say, "Liu Huan, with a father who lives off a woman, how can you so shamelessly cherish such vain hopes?"
Luo Yanran's nature was always quite cold, but that did not mean she was soft and gentle.
At this moment, the words she spoke were steady but incredibly insulting, "Understand your place in life. Without my family, what are you? Who gave you the courage to say those disgusting words?"
Xie Xiao was somewhat surprised. The former Luo Yanran he knew would have just reported to the police and left it at that.
Now it seemed that this law school really trained their eloquence.
Even Luo Yanran had developed quite the sharp tongue, which was rather impressive, wasn't it?
Liu Huan, who had been ridiculed, didn't look too good.
His friends had no idea his father lived off a woman.
The subtly judgmental glances cast his way made him feel embarrassed; how was he to continue mixing with this crowd of friends in the future?
Although a fight hadn't initially broken out, it eventually did because of Luo Yanran's remark.
But it was Liu Huan who wanted to start throwing punches and was immediately blocked by the owner and some of the kitchen staff.
As for Xie Xiao and the others, they just stood by and watched.
Xie Xiao glanced at Luo Yanran, "Intentional?"
Luo Yanran looked up at him and smiled, "Yeah, it was intentional."
She did it to buy time, after all, the police had already been called.
And perhaps it would also help her father get rid of those annoying relatives.
The police were about to arrive now.
In the end, the four of them went to the police station with Liu Huan's group and the owner.
When Luo Ming arrived at the police station, Luo Xia also showed up.
The two met at the entrance of the police station.
Luo Xia's face was full of embarrassment, though she wasn't clear about what had happened.
Yet this stepson hadn't stopped causing her trouble on normal days, and she hadn't expected that this time he'd end up at the police station with Luo Yanran.
She called out, "Brother..."
Luo Ming's expression wasn't very pleasant; he had already asked the police over the phone about the incident.
A bunch of hooligans harassing his daughter, huh?
Fortunately, the owner of the scene was tough and simply wouldn't allow troublemaking in his shop.
Even though Luo Yanran and the others didn't get physical, the incident started because of them, so they also came along.
As for who the hooligans were?
Looking at Luo Xia in front of him with a sheepish smile, Luo Ming snorted.
He ignored her and went straight inside.
He was a soft-hearted person, but also protected his own.
The shop's entrance had surveillance cameras as well.
They could capture the course of the events.
Even though there was no audio recording, it was clear that Liu Huan and his group were looking for trouble on purpose.
The kids were originally having a blast, talking and laughing, but these people, I don't know what they stirred up.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
DURING the statement-taking, they were actually quite cooperative.
These gangsters were familiar with this sort of thing.
After all, it happens occasionally when they drink too much.
So, they were actually quite accommodating.
In the end, they would definitely have to compensate for the things they damaged in the owner's shop.
As for getting physical, that didn't really happen.
The matter of Liu Huan harassing Luo Yanran could be settled privately by them.
Normally, the police would advise settling privately.
Because what Liu Huan did was basically verbal harassment, a minor offense, usually resulting in a detention of fewer than five days or a fine of less than five hundred yuan.
Especially since the police officer in charge knew they were relatives, so he gave a few words of advice.
But Xie Xiao and the other three didn't agree.
"Five days means five days, if it can be five, then it should be five," Xie Xiao said, with his tone flat.
"Exactly, forget about five hundred yuan, we're not short on cash," Lin Yu added.
Liu Huan was furious but was pulled back by Luo Xia, who wore a smile as she looked at Luo Ming standing next to Luo Yanran, "Brother, you see, the kids were just playing around. He just had a bit too much to drink, didn't he?"
"Having had 'a bit too much to drink' and acting like this? Drink a little more and you'd think you're the emperor?" Xie Xiao said, still in an even tone, and that indifference was precisely what rankled. "A few drinks and you're spouting nonsense like 'Why let our own water flow into others' fields'? Goodness, you'd think you were one of us?"
As expected, at those words, Luo Yanran looked up at Luo Ming, "Dad..."
Luo Ming's face turned dark.
Luo Xia's heart skipped a beat.
She had been nagging Luo Ming every day recently. There was already an inclination to give in and pay.
She hadn't expected her stepson to be truly brainless.
She wanted to say something but was interrupted by Luo Ming, "No settling privately, let the detention be however long it is. We're going back."
The young officer next to them had just been reminded that among the four young people, the two girls were no small matter.
Seeing Luo Ming say this, he didn't try to persuade them anymore.
And these hooligans were not in their first rodeo of stirring up trouble.
This really was a nuisance, a group of young people learning nothing good, always causing trouble.
Finally, Luo Ming led the four of them out and said, "Get in the car, I'll drive you home."
The four of them obediently responded.
Luo Yanran got into the passenger seat. The car was very quiet.
After a while, Luo Ming took the initiative to speak, "Your actions today were a bit impulsive."
"Sorry Uncle, for causing you trouble," Xie Xiao apologized.
But Luo Ming glanced at them in the rearview mirror, his gaze lingering on Lin Yu sitting in the middle for a moment, "It's not trouble. I just want to say, Lin Yu, right? Liu Huan and his group should all know you and your grandmother. These kinds of people have a strong sense of revenge."
"You feel relieved now, but have you thought about what happens to the old lady after you go back to your studies?"
Lin Yu was stunned; so were Xie Xiao and the rest.
