Chapter Fifty-Four: Admonitions to a Junior Brother Three
Fang Zixuan, who had just finished teaching her brother Fang Zipeng, was about to go downstairs with him when she saw Zhang Yun storm out of the house in a rage. However, Fang Jianlin seemed completely unaffected and waved at them with a good mood, "Come down and finish your meal."
"Dad, where's Mom?" Fang Zipeng asked with some concern, looking at Fang Jianlin he felt uneasy for no reason. Although Fang Jianlin always had a big argument with Zhang Yun every time he came home, today it seemed somewhat unusual to him.
Fang Jianlin smiled and didn't plan to answer his question, instead saying with a gentle tone, "You'll have another sister soon, Zixuan. You need to take good care of your younger brother and sisters. Your sister Xinlan is about to take the middle school entrance exam, I'll let her come home to live with us, you can guide her a bit. If our family can produce two top students, that would be glorious! At that time, Father will definitely reward you heavily."
"I only have one sister, where is the other?!" Fang Zipeng isn't an ordinary kid, growing up in such a family, he's also learned all sorts of messy things. Fang Jianlin has several children outside, and Zhang Yun has mentioned it vaguely before, so he's extremely sensitive to this sentence.
Fang Jianlin patted his head and said in a soothing tone, "You have another sister named Fang Xinlan. Due to some reasons, she couldn't live with us before, but she'll be back in a few days. You must listen to your sister's words and get along well with each other, okay?"
Fang Zi Xuan slightly furrowed her brow, trying to ignore the anger that surged up from the bottom of her heart. The fragmented emotions of the original Fang Zi Xuan were still affecting her, and as an onlooker, she could clearly feel the intense hatred the original Fang Zi Xuan had towards Fang Jian Lin's illegitimate children.
I'm afraid the original self was also an object of her hatred and disgust, but now I've taken over. Her heart can't tell whether it's more helpless or sarcastic, she can only try her best to control herself from being affected by her original emotions.
At this time, Xiao Ba Wang Fang Zi Peng had already made a scene. He stood up and "thud" kicked the chair far away. "I only have one sister! Any other woman who dares to enter my house and let me call her 'sister', I'll make her come in upright and go out horizontally!"
Fang Jianlin didn't expect him to dare say such vicious words, his anger rising to his head, his face immediately flushed with rage, and he slapped Fang Zipeng's face fiercely, causing it to swell up instantly, with blood even flowing out of his nose.
Fang Jianlin was still not satisfied and wanted to add another kick. "You beast! Just you wait, I'll beat you to death!"
Fang Zixuan suddenly pulled Fang Zipeng behind her at this time, causing Fang Jianlin to stumble and almost fall.
"What? You're not convinced either, and you want to get beaten up together?" Fang Jianlin's expression changed from the gentle smile he had earlier, his face twisted into a malevolent grin like an evil spirit emerging from hell.
"Dad, let's eat first," Fang Zixuan's face still had that flat expression, pointing to the food on the table, without a hint of emotional fluctuation. "You've already handed over the responsibility of disciplining my brother to me earlier, I'll take him upstairs and discipline him properly now."
Fang Jianlin's expression finally eased up. He had always been a spoiled brat, and naturally he wouldn't take hard words lying down. "This beast won't be dealt with unless it's beaten!"
"Yes, I will teach him a lesson." Fang Zixuan replied obediently. Letting Fang Jianlin get angry was very difficult, she just wanted to push him away, but Fang Zipeng, who had been stunned by the blow, suddenly and completely exploded at this moment.
"Want to let the outside bastard in? First, see if I agree or not! If she dares to come in, watch me kill her, no big deal, one life for another...!" Fang Zikeng also became fierce, his eyes were bloodshot, staring fiercely at Fang Jianlin, as if he wanted to devour him, punching and kicking, almost unable to control himself even with Fang Zixuan.
Fang Jianlin couldn't take it anymore, he was so angry that he picked up the bowl on the table and threw it over, he didn't believe that such nonsense could be said by a 12 or 13-year-old kid, it must have been Zhang Yun behind him inciting and instructing, that vicious woman indeed can't produce anything good!
He once again harbored resentment in his heart, thinking that Old Master Fang had rejected the gentle and virtuous Shen Qian, instead forcing him to pursue the evil Zhang Yun. At first, he thought Zhang Yun's spoiled and arrogant nature was charming, but as time passed, he found her face more and more detestable.
Because Fang Zi Xuan subconsciously blocked in front of Fang Zi Peng, the bowl didn't hit Fang Zi Peng but instead opened a small cut on Fang Zi Xuan's forehead. At that moment, blood started dripping down "drip drip drop".
"Hey, what's wrong with you!" Fang Zikai's voice, which was just rough and arrogant, became distorted and sharp, tightly grasping her hem, his whole body trembling. He had never seen so much blood before. "Don't die! Don't die!"
"Who's dead?" Fang Zixuan impatiently glanced at him, wiped her forehead with her hand, which was full of bright red blood, and pulled him upstairs.
Fang Jianlin saw the innocent Fang Zixuan being beaten by himself, covered in blood, and felt a little guilty. The momentum from earlier suddenly disappeared, and he didn't stop them, but instead sat on one side with a huff.
Fang Zixuan pulled Fang Zipeng upstairs while instructing the servant to send up the first-aid kit, and after they finished simple treatment, they would go to the hospital.
"Sister, are you really okay?" Fang Zikai was obviously frightened, tightly grasping her hand and refusing to let go. He usually addressed Fang Zixuan by name, but today he called her "sister" for the first time.
However, Fang Zixuan, who was careless about his emotions, coldly glanced at him and said, "You've been holding my hand all along, how can I treat the wound?"
Her attitude was absolutely not gentle, if it were the old Fang Zikai, even if he didn't get angry, he would definitely have coldly ridiculed her, but today he was unusually obedient, and actually listened to her, releasing his grip on her hand, instead pulling at her hem, his eyes fixed anxiously on her face, not daring to look away for a single second.
Fang Zixuan cleaned up the wound on her face in front of the mirror, but the clean gauze was soon stained red with fresh blood again.
"It seems it can't be stopped, I can only go to the hospital for a few stitches." She muttered to herself with a slight frown, but didn't notice Fang Zikai's tense face beside her.
"Are you going to die?" Fang Zipeng had just been slapped in the face, his cheek was swollen and his nose was still bleeding nonstop.
She hastily pressed down on the wound on her head and turned back to him, "How can it be that easy to die? How are you?"
Fang Zikong was lifted by her to the bottom of the faucet, wiped clean the blood on his face, and patted his forehead with cold water. "That slap just now was quite heavy, can you hear with your ears?"
The moment Fang Zikun was hit, even she was startled. Fang Jianlin showed no mercy at all, completely disregarding the fact that the person standing in front of him was still a child, and his own son at that. The force of the blow was so great that it was hard to guarantee there wouldn't be any aftereffects.
"Nonsense! Otherwise, how would I be talking to you?" Fang Zipeng said in a bad tone, but as soon as the words came out, he felt that his tone was not good and immediately said in a slightly softer voice, "I've had a buzzing sound in my left ear all along."
"Then you and I will go to the hospital together." She neatly packed up the medical kit, "Today you disobeyed your elders and spoke rudely, do you choose to copy books or get a slap on the palm?"
"I've already been beaten like this, and you still want to hit me?" Fang Zipeng looked at her incredulously.
"A mistake deserves a punishment. You did something wrong, so you should take the blame." Fang Zixuan said seriously while throwing his coat at him, "If it weren't for your disobedience to elders, would we have gotten into this trouble? If I don't punish you, you won't remember the lesson."
"What just happened is unbearable for anyone!" Fang Zipeng burst out in anger.
"It's right, we deserved this." Fang Zixuan, who was innocently hit on the head, would be in a good mood for no reason. She, who had always been strict with herself, couldn't help but make a cold joke.
Fang Zikong was a hot-tempered person, but at this time she couldn't care about her emotions anymore.
"You just told that person you wanted to discipline me, wasn't it to save me?" Fang Zipeng hated Fang Jianlin so much that he didn't even want to call him "Dad" anymore.
"Of course it's to save you, do you want him to beat you to death?" Fang Zixuan looked at him with a look of looking at an idiot. Fang Jianlin's hand was too heavy and had exceeded the category of teaching children a lesson. Although she loved herself, in her subconscious mind, she couldn't just sit back and watch a child being abused, "But you also did wrong and should be punished."
Fang Zikong felt that he really couldn't understand his sister's way of thinking, she was simply a stubborn and obstinate person who refused to listen to reason!
"I suggest you choose to slap yourself thirty times, anyway you've already taken one round and don't mind another...” She thought for a moment and still brought her purse.
"Who says I don't care!" Fang Zipeng cut her off in annoyance. "I'm your own brother, do you still have any humanity?"
Even he himself did not realize that being interrupted by her like this, his originally tense and fearful emotions had actually dissipated a lot.
Fang Jianlin stormed out, leaving his wife and children behind. He had hit his son and accidentally injured his daughter. The meal was now meaningless to him, so he grabbed his coat and headed back to Shen Qin's place. By the time Fang Zixuan and her brother came downstairs, Fang Jianlin was nowhere to be seen, and Fang Zipeng couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"If you're so afraid of him, then don't provoke him just now." She noticed his sudden relaxation and felt a little sympathy for him. Fang Zikai's temper was too explosive, it could be set off by anything.
"At least let him know our attitude, otherwise he'll really think we're easy to bully. Once Fang Xinlan enters the Fang family and is formally recognized, it will be even easier for Shen Qin to enter the Fang family's door. At that time, will there still be a place for us two and mom? The usually arrogant and domineering Fang Zikai suddenly became somewhat melancholic, although he was just a teenager, although he was foolish and silly on ordinary days, but after all, he was a child raised in such a wealthy family, and he had some precocity that was different from his peers."
