HUFT Chapter 49

Chapter 49

Chi Nan was never an easy target. He acted soft in front of Uncle Fu because he saw Uncle Fu as a safe harbor, a haven where he could rely on. But who was Liang Sixu to provoke him again and again? Did he really think he was a pushover, someone to be bullied?

“Heh.”

Chi Nan scoffed coldly.

“What are you? Showing off your power here? Why are you wasting your breath with me but afraid to say it to Uncle Fu’s face? What are you guilty of? What are you afraid of? Or are you simply too scared to tell Uncle Fu, and can only use me to sow discord, drive a wedge between Uncle Fu and me, hoping I’ll resent Uncle Fu, so you come to provoke me?”

Chi Nan pressed Liang Sixu step by step. Liang Sixu dared to be so arrogant with him, relying solely on being a member of the Liang family. But why didn’t he dare say it in front of Uncle Fu? Because he was afraid, only daring to act like a clown in front of him. If Chi Nan were truly mindless, he might have fallen for it. But he trusted Fu Chaoyun. Whatever issues they had, they could resolve privately, but making a spectacle for others was absolutely out of the question.

“You…”

Liang Sixu was so angered by Chi Nan that he laughed. He had thought Chi Nan was just a naive college student, pitifully foolish and easily manipulated, someone who could be fobbed off with a little money. But he wasn’t. Liang Sixu had to take a closer look at Chi Nan. Previously, he had underestimated him. Now it seemed, though Chi Nan’s appearance was gentle, he possessed a sharpness that could wound others at any moment.

“If you’d been this clever earlier, would Yu Jianguo have run off with someone else?”

Liang Sixu changed his approach. He knew he couldn’t go to Fu Chaoyun, or Fu Chaoyun would bundle him and the Liang family together and send them away sooner or later. So he could only target Chi Nan, the soft persimmon. But Chi Nan didn’t fall for it, so he had to try a different tactic. Before returning, he had investigated Chi Nan thoroughly, and now was the time to strike a fatal blow.

“Don’t mention him to me.”

Chi Nan’s eyes held a dangerous glint, and his small fists clenched involuntarily. He didn’t want to hear anything related to Yu Jianguo.

“What, getting angry now? There’s a lot you don’t know. You probably don’t know that as soon as you appeared by Chaoyun’s side, he had your background checked thoroughly. Even if he hadn’t checked, do you think the Fu family wouldn’t? And all that mess with your father, they know everything. Now you’re pretending to be innocent. Chi Nan, aren’t you disgusted with yourself? Who are you putting on a show for?”

“Have you said enough?”

Chi Nan roared, which was exactly the effect Liang Sixu wanted.

“No, I have so much more to say. I not only know, but I want most people to know, to see what kind of person you, Chi Nan, really are.”

Liang Sixu smiled slightly, watching Chi Nan.

Chi Nan, unable to endure any longer, was enraged by the loathsome expression on Liang Sixu’s face. Chi Nan grabbed a clean bowl from the side and smashed it over Liang Sixu’s head.

Liang Sixu didn’t notice at first, still gloating, but when he saw Chi Nan’s action, he instantly panicked.

“What are you doing?”

Liang Sixu shouted. He hadn’t expected Chi Nan to be this kind of person. He was just talking, why suddenly resort to violence?

Chi Nan held the bowl in his right hand, grabbing Liang Sixu’s right hand with his left. Liang Sixu tried to dodge, but somehow, at that moment, Chi Nan’s grip was terrifyingly strong. No matter how Liang Sixu struggled, he couldn’t break free. Chi Nan raised the bowl in his right hand and smashed it directly onto Liang Sixu’s head.

“Chi Nan, you’re crazy!”

Liang Sixu shouted, trying to break free. Chi Nan, holding the bowl in his right hand, smashed it onto Liang Sixu’s head, chillingly calm, with no sign of wavering on his face, as if it were just an insignificant object that needed to be gently pried open.

“Clang.”

The bowl in Chi Nan’s hand crashed onto Liang Sixu’s head, and Liang Sixu let out a wail.

At the moment of impact, Chi Nan didn’t think much. He would bear any consequences, but he didn’t want to see Liang Sixu’s ugly face at all. Because they were both in the kitchen at the time, the production team and staff had already returned, leaving only the two of them. Even the cameras were turned off, so no one noticed.

It was Liang Sixu’s loud scream that attracted attention, and everyone rushed downstairs, witnessing the horrific scene in the kitchen.

Liang Sixu covered his head with his right hand, feeling the wet blood flowing down his face. Chi Nan held only shattered pieces of the bowl in his right hand.

“Oh my god, get him to the hospital!”

Someone who came down quickly yelled to send him to the hospital. Liang Sixu glared at Chi Nan with resentment. He wouldn’t let Chi Nan off, he definitely wouldn’t. He would make Chi Nan pay the price.

Because the incident caused a stir, Fu Chaoyun, who hadn’t fallen asleep yet, also got up to take a look. He saw the horrific scene, a crowd of people surrounding Liang Sixu, concerned about his injuries. Fu Chaoyun frowned and walked over.

“What happened?”

Fu Chaoyun asked. The staff began to stammer an answer.

“We’re not sure either. Initially, only Chi Nan and Liang Sixu were in the kitchen. We heard a scream and rushed over, and saw this.”

Fu Chaoyun took a long stride, glanced at Liang Sixu’s injury, removed Liang Sixu’s hand covering his head, and examined it. There was probably a small cut on his head, and blood was still flowing out steadily. The right half of Liang Sixu’s face was covered in blood.

“Take him to the hospital, quickly.”

“The car’s here.”

After Fu Chaoyun spoke, the staff outside shouted that the car had arrived. Because they were filming at a farmhouse, the roads weren’t good, so they waited a while to find a car and took Liang Sixu to the hospital overnight. Fu Chaoyun also went along. As Fu Chaoyun left with Liang Sixu, he turned back to look at Chi Nan.

There was no telling what was in that look, but he said nothing and left with Liang Sixu. That look made Chi Nan feel like a joke. Just a few minutes ago, he was arguing with Liang Sixu, but now he looked like a clown, hiding his right hand. In fact, his right hand was also injured, accidentally cut by a shard of the bowl, but the first person Uncle Fu checked on was Liang Sixu, not Chi Nan.

Chi Nan had completely lost the momentum he had just a few minutes ago. It seemed like he should transfer the words he said to Liang Sixu to himself. He was the one acting like a clown, trying excessively to attract Fu Chaoyun’s attention, but Uncle Fu didn’t notice him at all, only saw Liang Sixu.

In the end, Fu Chaoyun went to the hospital with Liang Sixu. After they left, someone cleaned up the kitchen, and the late night suddenly became silent, as if there were only the sounds of insects and birds, and a heartbroken person.
