Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1112

The Chen brothers, Chen Gang and Chen Xiang, froze in shock when they heard his words. Judging by Xie Xuanzi’s attire, it was clear he was someone of high status. Yet, not only had Chen Jianmin struck him, but he was now speaking to him so boldly.

While the others worried about offending such a man, Chen Jianmin was busy scrutinizing him.

Moments earlier, he had seen the excitement, surprise, and even tenderness in the man’s eyes when he looked at Li Shu. This man was far older than them—older even than that annoying Song Yan.

How dare he harbor improper intentions toward his little bride?

Though Xie Xuanzi didn’t know the boy’s identity, he quickly deduced from his protective stance that he was close to the girl. Choosing not to escalate the situation, he softened his tone and said with a smile, "Boy, I might be this girl’s uncle."

He assumed the boy would apologize upon learning his identity. To his surprise, Chen Jianmin simply raised an eyebrow and asked arrogantly, "So what?"

Positioning himself as a shield in front of Li Shu, Chen Jianmin declared, "No matter who you are, you are just a stranger to Shushu. You are not allowed to touch her."

Hearing this, Doctor Xie burst into laughter and praised him for the first time, "Brat, I didn’t expect you to have such guts! Do you even know who this man is?"

Chen Jianmin glanced at him and replied resolutely, "Grandpa Xie, it doesn’t matter who he is. I won’t let anyone take advantage of Shushu."

"What if he has a powerful background?" Doctor Xie pressed.

"I don’t care about his background," Chen Jianmin said casually.

"We all only have one life. If he tries to harm Shushu or take advantage of her, I will take him down—even if it means dragging him to hell with me. I would like to see how he plans to take advantage of Shushu with his cold body."

The boldness of his words left everyone stunned, including Doctor Xie, Xie Xuanzi, and Xiao Yiguan.

Chen Gang was the first to recover from the shock after a while. He glared at his son and scolded, "What nonsense are you spouting? Do you realize you would be shot for murder?"

Chen Jianmin shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Isn’t it just a life for a life?"

Before Chen Gang could blow up, Doctor Xie raised a hand to silence him. He glanced at Chen Jianmin and smiled.

This kid doesn’t act like himself today. He is usually calm and mature and never shows any weakness. But today, he exposed too many shortcomings and acted like an immature child. He didn’t know what this kid was planning and was quite curious about his intentions.

"Xiao Gang, why are you scolding the boy? Outrageous as his words are, he is not wrong. We may be poor and come from a family with a low status, but we must still have backbone, dignity, and pride."
