Chapter 61: Brothers Beating Each Other Up
Feng Yuli’s face instantly turned cold.
“Jiang Hengzhi!!” After enduring for a day, Jiang Lixuan finally couldn’t control himself and exploded. He turned his head and glared angrily at Jiang Hengzhi, clenched his fists, and suddenly pounced on him, smashing a punch into his face.
Jiang Hengzhi didn’t expect Jiang Lixuan’s reaction to be so intense, and in a moment of carelessness, he really got punched.
Jiang Hengzhi was stunned for a moment, then roared back at Jiang Lixuan: “Jiang Lixuan! Are you sick? Why did you hit me!”
“I’m hitting you! You’re the sick one! You idiot with an underdeveloped brain! Who told you to knock the candy out of Perfection’s hand! You’re an adult, do you think it’s fun to target a child every day!”
Jiang Lixuan’s eyes were bloodshot as he pounced again and landed another punch on Jiang Hengzhi. Jiang Hengzhi got angry too and immediately fought back. The two started fighting directly.
The incident happened too suddenly. In just a few seconds, the two young men in front of them were fighting like a tangled mess. The little girl whose hand was still outstretched was startled: “You, you all…”
Feng Yuli quickly picked up Nan Yuanman and moved her away to avoid her being affected by their fight.
Meng Qinian quickly retreated two steps. Watching the Jiang family brothers tearing at each other like two ferocious beasts, he couldn’t help but clench his fist and cheer for Jiang Lixuan: “Jiang Lixuan, hit his chin! Yes, yes, yes! Kick him in the lower body! Ouch, that’s a good punch! Go on, beat him to death!”
What the hell, daring to lay hands on Perfection.
Feng Yuli covered the young cub’s ears in his arms and gave him a speechless look, but didn’t say anything to stop him.
After all, if Jiang Lixuan hadn’t acted quickly just now, he would have done it himself.
Feng Yuli was afraid of scaring the cub in his arms. He lowered his head to look, and Nan Yuanman had already recovered. She was nestled in his arms, watching the two fight with great interest.
At the exciting parts, she even clenched her little fists and waved them a couple of times.
Feng Yuli had a strange expression as he slightly loosened his hand covering her ears and asked: “…Aren’t you scared?”
Nan Yuanman looked up at him, blinked her eyes, and her eyes curved slightly: “Not scared. They look just like the two wild boars I saw fighting in the woods before.”
She had indeed been a little startled earlier, but she quickly got over it. Plus, Jiang Hengzhi deserved a beating anyway, and Jiang Lixuan wouldn’t really kill him, so she wasn’t worried or afraid at all.
What’s more, Perfection had seen plenty of such fight scenes in the countryside.
Sometimes the villagers would even fight with hoes over water for irrigating fields! Compared to that, Jiang Lixuan and Jiang Hengzhi’s fight was small potatoes.
Hearing this, Feng Yuli’s expression was stunned: “You… you’ve seen wild boars before?”
How could a five-year-old child go up the mountain? How could she encounter something as dangerous as wild boars?
“I’ve seen them.” Nan Yuanman occasionally glanced at the fight and answered him: “When Grandpa was still around, he often took me up the mountain to find wood. I’ve not only seen wild boars, but also wolves and tigers!”
It’s just a pity that after Grandpa started sleeping, she hadn’t had time to go up the mountain.
Thinking of Grandpa’s current situation, Nan Yuanman’s mood involuntarily sank. She didn’t know… if Grandpa would ever get better…
Feng Yuli keenly noticed the young cub in his arms suddenly becoming downcast. His thin lips pressed together as he looked at the two still fighting fiercely and said to Meng Qinian: “Go separate them.”
Meng Qinian was a bit reluctant. Separate them for what! Let them beat each other to death. Then he could take the chance to whisk away Perfection.
Reluctant or not, these two were still Perfection’s uncles after all. Meng Qinian rolled up his sleeves, went up to break up the fight, and took the opportunity in the chaos to kick Jiang Hengzhi twice.
Jiang Hengzhi was furious and glared at Meng Qinian: “Are you sick?”
Meng Qinian quickly apologized: “Oh, sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to. It was an accident!”
“Alright, alright, stop fighting. The child is still here! It’s so bad to fight in front of a child.” Meng Qinian put his arm around Jiang Lixuan’s shoulders and pulled him away.
Jiang Lixuan suddenly remembered that Perfection was still there, and his previously heated emotions instantly cooled. With a cold face, he let Meng Qinian lead him away.
Both of them had bruises on their faces and bodies, their clothes were torn into a messy tangle, and Jiang Hengzhi’s clean clothes were covered in footprints, making him look quite disheveled.
Jiang Hengzhi’s face was gloomy. He wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, saw the blood on his thumb, tsked irritably, and asked coldly: “Jiang Lixuan, did you eat explosives today? I just knocked the candy out of her hand, and you tried to beat me to death.”
“Don’t forget, she’s Bai Wenyin’s daughter! Have you forgotten what Bai Wenyin did to you?!”
“I haven’t forgotten! That’s exactly why I have to beat you!” Jiang Lixuan’s eyes were dark, his breathing rapid. He gritted his teeth and said word by word, unable to hold back from defending Bai Wenyin: “Bai Wenyin… My sister, she never betrayed me. Back then, she didn’t abandon me and run away!”
“It was Jiang Yueyao who lied! It was she who deceived me!”
Ever since investigating the truth about his tendon being severed back then, Jiang Lixuan’s nerves had been on edge.
His feelings for Jiang Yueyao, his hatred for her deception, and his regret toward Bai Wenyin were like bone-gnawing poison constantly eroding his heart.
With what Jiang Hengzhi said, he couldn’t hold back and exploded: “Jiang Hengzhi! Listen clearly! Bai Wenyin didn’t abandon me! She didn’t do anything to betray me!”
While speaking, Jiang Lixuan didn’t dare to cast even a single glance at Nan Yuanman.
Jiang Hengzhi was stunned, his brows slowly furrowing: “What nonsense are you talking? How did Yao Yao deceive you?”
“I…” Jiang Lixuan opened his mouth, about to tell him about the information he had investigated today, but when he looked up, he saw Meng Qinian’s gossipy eyes.
His throat tightened, and he swallowed the words that were about to come out. He wiped his face and said: “We’ll talk when we get back. Don’t let outsiders make a fool of us.”
Meng Qinian’s face was full of regret for not hearing the gossip, but he pretended to casually look away.
Jiang Lixuan took a deep breath, forced an unnatural smile on his face, and gave Nan Yuanman an ugly grin: “Perfection, come on, let’s go home.”
Nan Yuanman gently patted Feng Yuli’s arm, signaling him to put her down.
Feng Yuli set Nan Yuanman on the ground, but he wasn’t reassured letting her go back with Jiang Lixuan like this. He hesitated, then squatted in front of her and asked softly: “Perfection, how about staying with Brother Qinian tonight?”
Given Jiang Lixuan and Jiang Hengzhi’s attitudes just now, there was bound to be an argument when they got back to the Jiang family.
He was afraid it would affect Nan Yuanman.
“No need. Perfection can handle it.” Nan Yuanman patted her chest and sweetly said goodbye to Feng Yuli and Meng Qinian in her childish voice, then ran toward Jiang Lixuan with her short legs pattering.
Jiang Lixuan instinctively reached out to hold her hand, but Nan Yuanman dodged away.
His eyes darkened slightly, but he didn’t say anything. He nodded slightly to Feng Yuli, then opened the car door and gently supported Nan Yuanman’s buttocks to help her get in the car.
Before getting in, Jiang Lixuan turned back, found the candy on the ground that Jiang Hengzhi had knocked flying, and carefully put it in his pocket before getting in the car and driving off.
Jiang Hengzhi got into his own car with a gloomy face and slammed the car door shut with a bang.
Feng Yuli watched their cars leave one after the other, tsked unhappily, took out several strands of hair he had plucked from Nan Yuanman’s head today under the pretext of touching it, then pulled a transparent bag containing Feng Congqian’s hair from his other pocket, and put them inside.
He turned to the dumbfounded Meng Qinian and said decisively: “Let’s go do the paternity test.”
Meng Qinian: “???”
Wait, when did you get this stuff!
