Chapter 68: Fury

  "Fang Zikun hasn't come back yet today." Fang Zixuan furrowed her brow and asked Ying Jie, who was setting the dinner table. Normally, they would return home together, but today she had an exam in the afternoon and came back early. Driver Old Wang also went to pick up Fang Zikun on time, so he should have been back home long ago according to the usual schedule.

  Since Fang Jianlin and Zhang Yun handed over Fang Zipeng to her for discipline, she has taken him into her own responsibility range. Otherwise, she would have finished eating and gone back to her room to read books long ago, where would she have the leisure to take care of him?

  "I don't know, Old Wang is usually punctual, no reason to be late," Ying Jie's face also showed a worried look, "I'll go make a call and ask Old Wang."

  "Sister, I'll take the exam for your school in the future too. By then, I can come back with you guys together!" Fang Xinlan said with a smile.

  "Then you'd better work hard." Fang Zixuan glanced at her lightly, with her grades it wouldn't be easy to get into their school, but the truth is always too hurtful.

  "Hmm!" Fang Xinlan looked full of energy and confidence.

  "Miss, Young Master was beaten by someone at school today and is now in the hospital." Ying Jie reported to Fang Zi Xuan with a bitter face.

  "Which hospital? We'll go there now, might not be back so soon. Heart Lan, you stay home and eat first." Upon hearing that her only younger brother was beaten, Fang Zi Xuan remained expressionless, merely giving orders in an orderly manner, without a hint of anxiety or worry on her face.

  It seems that Fang Zipei doesn't have much status in her heart, Fang Xinlan observed secretly on the side, "Sister, I'll go with you, I'm also worried about my brother."

  "Whatever." Fang Xinlan was just a kid. What could she do by going along? Although she didn't think it was necessary to make such a big deal, she also couldn't be bothered to stop Fang Xinlan.

  Fang Zikong's injury was indeed quite severe, it could be seen that the other party had used a lot of force, his originally not thin face was swollen like a pig's head. His right arm was already fractured and was wrapped in thick plaster and hung in front of his chest.

  "How did you manage that?" Fang Zi Xuan stood in front of him, still calm and unruffled, only slightly furrowing his brow.

  "It was that son of a bitch who made the first move! Damn it! Dare to touch me! See if I don't get someone to cripple him......" As soon as he saw her, Fang Zikai started yelling loudly, his coarse language making the medical staff who were bandaging him wrinkle their brows.

  "How dare you speak such vile words! Have you forgotten what I taught you? Go back and copy the 'Four Lessons of Lao Fan' five times." She glared at him with a cold face.

  "Ah! Didn't you see that my right hand is fractured?! Copy, copy, copy, I'll copy your head off!" Fang Zikai shouted in anger. Normally, he would never yell at Fang Zixuan like this. He was just too angry today and didn't even care that she was someone he respected.

  "My right hand is broken. Then use your left hand to copy, if both hands are broken, even if you have to use your feet, you must copy! You're not allowed to eat or sleep until you've finished copying!" Fang Zixuan's voice was not loud, and it was still calm, but the aura emanating from her completely subdued Fang Zipeng.

  It wasn't just Fang Zikai, even Fang Xinlan, who was gloating at the misfortune of others, didn't dare to breathe loudly. In addition to the medical staff in the room, there was also Fang Zikai's teacher, a young teacher with little presence, who was Fang Zixuan's former headteacher, looking at her with complex eyes.

  The top scorer in the high school entrance exam not only brought glory to her alma mater, but also received a substantial prize and was awarded as an advanced individual. However, it's hard for people to like this excellent student. It's not just because she used to be a spoiled and unruly girl, but also because of her later maturity and introversion. Especially after the last conflict between them due to school violence, no matter how good her grades are, it's difficult for teachers to truly like her.

  Now seeing her scolding her brother, he actually feels a kind of absurd joy. To think that Fang Zikai is mischievous, but still can't compare to what she was like in the past! And yet this version of her is still making Fang Zikai copy out "The Four Lessons of Yan Lu". Does she even know what "The Four Lessons of Yan Lu" is?

  Fang Zikong grunted and unexpectedly didn't dare talk back, despite being fearless of heaven and earth.

  She then noticed the teacher sitting next to her and another boy covered in scars, "Hello, Teacher Zheng."

  She has always been respectful to her teachers and elders. When she sees her former head teacher, she goes up to them in a dignified manner and greets them with a bow.

  Teacher Zheng is a young teacher who usually gets along well with her students. The more polite she is, the more awkward he feels. Although they had celebrated holidays together before, this time they met again because of the school violence incident. The more Teacher Zheng thinks about it, the bigger her headache becomes, and she doesn't know how to deal with it this time. "Uh, haha, Zixuan, long time no see, have you been doing well lately?"

  "It's okay." She nodded, "I want to know what happened with Fang Zikai today."

  "This is what happened, Fang Zikong and Fu Zichong had a small conflict in words, which later developed into physical conflict..." Teacher Zheng's face was filled with regret. When something like this happens, it usually ends with both parties getting 50 lashes each and taking responsibility for their actions. Fortunately, today wasn't the day that Fang Zikong's mother Zhang Yun came, he knew she was a difficult parent to deal with, always coming in with a fierce attitude, pushing all the blame onto the other party, and insisting on making things difficult for them. He looked at Fu Zichong with sympathy, this child had good grades and was well-behaved, but unfortunately came from a poor family, getting entangled with the Fang family's affairs would probably not end well."

  "Conflicts between students are common, why didn't the school fulfill its duty of care? If they had separated them as soon as the conflict occurred, things wouldn't have escalated to this point." But Fang Zixuan didn't mean to put Fu Zichong in a difficult position at all, instead she turned her gun towards her alma mater.

  "Teacher Zheng was shocked and widened his eyes, 'At that time it was class dismissal time, we teachers couldn't be with the students every minute.'"

  "According to the relevant provisions of the Education Law and the Juvenile Protection Law, schools bear educational protection responsibilities for minors and fault liability for injuries that occur on campus. At this time, the principle of presumed fault applies, and the school's fault lies in your failure to fulfill your educational and management duties towards students. Therefore, the school still has fault and should bear civil liability."

  "Huh?" Teacher Zheng was still a young teacher after all, and he knew that Fang Zixuan was troublesome, but he didn't expect that she would be the one to come today. He had never dealt with this kind of situation before, and was left somewhat dazed by Fang Zixuan's professional jargon. Suddenly, he felt that Zhang Yun, who didn't bother with reason, was a bit more lovable than Fang Zixuan, who was too reasonable. "It was their own fight..."

  "If there's anything, come at me! Don't bother Teacher Zheng!" Fu Zichong stepped forward in front of Teacher Zheng, glaring hatefully at Fang Zixuan. People from the Fang family have always been arrogant and bullying, they're not good people!

  Fu Zichong's forehead was already bandaged, and it could be seen that Fang Zipeng had also made a ruthless move. Despite being covered in bruises, he still maintained his respect for his teacher.

  Mr. Zheng was somewhat moved and pulled Fu Zichong back, kindly advising Fang Zixuan, "Zixuan, you are also a student of our school, how can a student criticize the school?"

  Fang Zixuan has always respected her teachers and valued the truth, but she also believes in "I love my teacher, but I love the truth more". Respecting teachers is necessary, but it cannot touch her bottom line. Fang Zipeng's injury was this high-voltage line.

  "Fu Zichong, you bastard, you're just asking to be beaten! You little turtle egg, your mother isn't anything good, and you're a wild seed too! How dare you yell here, you wild seed!" Seeing Fu Zichong offending Fang Zixuan, the anger that had been suppressed in Fang Zipeng surged up again.

  "Fang Zikong, shut up!" Fang Zixuan turned around and shouted loudly before Fu Zichong could rush over to fight. Her eyes were cold and terrifying as she stared at Fang Zikong, even Fang Xinlan standing beside her couldn't help but shiver.

  Fang Zikong's sharp and shrill words suddenly brought her back to her childhood, those street vendors and old women, as well as those little rascals, each with a scornful and mocking face, their piercing and ear-piercing jeers and insults ignited her rationality, although she knew she would be punished by her grandfather, she couldn't help but fight back against those who humiliated her.

  She thought that after all these years of tempering, calmness and rationality had dominated her life, but why did she still lose control easily because of a few words that had nothing to do with her? She reached out to touch her chest, it seemed like this place was getting more and more uncontrollable.

  "Fang Zikong, repeatedly taught but not changed, again punished to copy ten times." She took a deep breath and tried to calm down her anger.

  Fang Zikong was also startled, after these years of getting along, he thought he understood this sister, no matter what happened, even if she managed herself very strictly, the expression on her face was always light and calm, when speaking, it was even more unhurried, enough to suffocate people, such unhidden fury was something he had never seen before, and he couldn't help but shrink back a bit, forcibly swallowing back the profanity that hadn't yet left his mouth.

  "If Fang Zikun hadn't intentionally provoked him, Fu Zichong wouldn't have hit him, and it wouldn't have ended up in the hospital. The responsibility lies more with family education than our school." Zheng Laoshi also calmed down, saying that if Zhang Yun had come, he would have been a bit more cautious. But Fang Zixuan was his former student, just a 16 or 17-year-old girl, although she was a bit strange and difficult to deal with, he naturally wouldn't be truly afraid of her.

  "Teacher Zheng is right, the school should indeed take responsibility. As for family education, after Fang Zikai returns home, I will strictly discipline him. The medical bill for Fang Zikai's treatment will be sent to the principal."

  Teacher Zheng was furious, and this is exactly what he meant, but he didn't expect Fang Xuan to be so good at twisting his words.

  "Fang Zipeng, come here." She gave him a cold glance. "Apologize to Fu Zichong for your impertinence."

  "Nerve disease! Why should I apologize to him, he's originally a..." Under Fang Zixuan's icy gaze, he stuttered and didn't say the words "fatherless wild species" out loud.
