Xu Qiaoqiao was too far away, so she couldn't help Li Rong block the slap. She could only watch as Mother Hu's hand came down.
Just as it was about to hit Li Rong's face, Hu Jiazeng suddenly grabbed her arm, shielding Li Rong behind him, and took the slap with his own face.
"Slap!"
The sound was loud, showing the force of the slap.
Mother Hu was stunned.
Xu Qiaoqiao was also stunned.
Actually, Hu Jiazeng could have stopped Mother Hu entirely, but he didn't do that; instead, he chose to face the slap himself...
Mother Hu felt a pang of heartache and immediately reached for Hu Jiazeng's face: "Son, son, are you… does it hurt? Why are you so foolish!"
Hu Jiazeng stood there, looking at Mother Hu, and said, "Mom, I'm sorry... You raised me to be this big, but now I'm so disobedient, making you travel all this way..."
