Fu Kai roared and threw his coat on the ground. "Can you afford to compensate for soiling my clothes with your dirty hands?"
Xia Sanghuan sat quietly in her seat, sizing him up. Although his features were handsome, they couldn't compare to the stunning looks of her two elder sisters. Coupled with the fact that he was drunk, his expression was a bit ferocious, making him look even less refined. He resembled a loafer on the street.
Fu Zeming had been suppressing his anger in front of Xia Sanghuan. Now his face darkened. He stood up and slapped Fu Kai. "Are you sober now?"
Fu Moning and Fu Youqing immediately stood up and walked over to protect Xia Sanghuan. They whispered words of comfort, saying, "It's okay. Don't be afraid. Big brother is just drunk."
Fu Kai covered his face. His expression turned even more vicious. He kicked over the chair beside him and stared fiercely at Xia Sanghuan.
"I used to get drunk too. Why didn't you ever care about me before? What's going on? Now that your precious daughter is back, you treat me like this. Are you eager to drive me away so that your family can reunite?"
"Fu Kai, shut up!"
Fu Moning's eyes turned cold. She frowned and scolded, "How dare you talk to Dad like that? Huanhuan just came back home. She is our younger sister. If you can't accept her, then get out!"
Fu Kai sneered, still keeping his eyes on Xia Sanghuan.
"Isn't she just a stray? A country kid like her is not worth your preciousness! God knows how many germs she brought here from the countryside!"
"Scoundrel!"
Fu Zeming was extremely angry at his words. His face looked hideous. He kicked at Fu Kai. "You unfilial son! What kind of words are those to say to your younger sister!"
Fu Kai was kicked to the ground. He was stunned for a moment. The wine bottle in his hand shattered, cutting his palm. His eyes were bloodshot. He looked up at Fu Zeming defiantly for a while, then got up and left.
"Fu Kai!"
Fu Youqing wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Fu Zeming. "None of you should go after him! Let him get out! If he leaves, never come back!"
The dining room was in a complete mess. Fu Zeming was very angry, but when he saw Xia Sanghuan, he quickly composed himself.
"Huanhuan, your elder brother is good for nothing. He loafs around all day and doesn't know how to behave like a decent person. Don't take his words to heart."
Xia Sanghuan nodded.
"Dad, I don't care."
Fu Zeming didn't react at first. He sat down naturally. After a while, he suddenly looked at Xia Sanghuan, his excitement beyond words.
"What did you just call me?"
Seeing his reaction, Xia Sanghuan felt a little sad. She smiled faintly and called him Dad again.
This time, Fu Zeming heard it clearly. "Hey!"
"Let's, let's have dinner!"
He picked up his bowl, but his hands couldn't stop trembling. Afraid of embarrassing himself in front of his daughter, he quickly put the bowl down. "I'll go out to get some fresh air!"
Seeing Fu Zeming's slightly trembling back, Fu Moning and Fu Youqing both had red eyes. They hugged Xia Sanghuan tightly, but were afraid of hurting her, so they softened their grip.
Fu Youqing wiped away her tears and said with a laugh, "Dad must have gone out to cry secretly!"
Xia Anying sat on one side, feeling a bit embarrassed. Finally, she left the dining table silently.
At night, the two sisters of the Fu family and Xia Sanghuan lay in the same bed. Fu Youqing treated Xia Sanghuan like a little kid. She found a book and told her stories to lull her to sleep.
Fu Moning felt the calluses on Xia Sanghuan's palm. Her eyes were a bit solemn. She knew that Huanhuan must have suffered a lot in the countryside over the years. At such a young age, she had to bear so much. She felt both sad and heartbroken.
She let Xia Sanghuan lean on her shoulder and whispered, "Huanhuan, from now on, we won't let you suffer any more. We won't let anyone bully you either. I promise you that even if you want the moon in the sky, elder sister will pick it for you!"
Fu Youqing laughed and continued, winking at Xia Sanghuan. "It's true! Anyway, second elder sister is very rich. She can even pay someone to engrave your name on a star!"
Fu Moning: "..."
Xia Sanghuan pursed her lips and smiled. She nodded. Her clear eyes were bright and beautiful with a hint of a smile.
That night, Xia Sanghuan seemed to have returned to her childhood. She gradually fell asleep under the lullabies of her two elder sisters.
Even if the end of the world came tomorrow, Xia Sanghuan would think it was worth it.
In Jianghua Hospital in Yuntan City.
Leng Jingzhan had just been wheeled out of the operating room. The doctor announced that he was out of danger.
In the spacious and bright luxury ward, several well - known top - notch professors stood in front of the hospital bed, looking troubled.
The man sitting beside the bed, Leng Chuanjin, was the source of their pressure.
He was wearing a black silk shirt with the cuffs rolled up, revealing his well - built and attractive arms. His handsome facial features were a bit tense, exuding an invisible sense of oppression.
"How is Jingzhan's condition?"
Following the man's gaze, a young and handsome man was lying on the bed. His eyes were slightly closed, and his thin face was extremely pale. As the gaze moved down from his chin, the man's limbs were no longer like those of a normal person.
His hands and feet were covered with tree bark, and even tree - like branches had grown out. He looked like a half - tree, half - human monster.
"The virus in the second young master's body is mutating too fast. Our treatment can no longer keep up with the speed of the virus mutation. If this continues, soon the tree bark on the second young master's body will spread to his face."
Another doctor also said under pressure, "I'm afraid the second young master won't last more than a month."
Hearing this, Leng Chuanjin turned to look at them. His eyebrows suddenly turned cold. "Is this what you call doing your best?"
The professors lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything more.
"If your capabilities are limited to this, then all of you can get out!"
One of the older professors said, "Young Master Leng, there is still one way to save the second young master."
"Speak!"
"We've done some research. Currently, the only drug that can relieve the second young master's condition is the Black - Bone Spiritual Treasure. We can extract and study its components, which can effectively treat the second young master's illness."
"However, the Black - Bone Spiritual Treasure is extremely rare. It may be difficult to find it."
Leng Chuanjin frowned. The little girl had taken the Black - Bone Spiritual Treasure. It would take him at least a few days to get it back.
He stood up. His long legs were straight and slender. He composed himself and said calmly, "All you need to do now is to keep Jingzhan alive. I will find the Black - Bone Spiritual Treasure."
Leng's mother closed her eyes. She didn't know how many more times she would have to go through such a near - death experience. Her body couldn't support her and she staggered.
"Mom, you should go back first. I'll take care of things here."
Leng Chuanjin supported Leng's mother, comforted her a few more times, and then sent her into the car. Only then did he return to the ward.
"The second young master's illness is flaring up more and more frequently. If we can't find the Black - Bone Spiritual Treasure soon, we may really not be able to save his life."
The professor had to inform him of the situation again.
Leng Chuanjin rubbed his temples. His handsome face looked a bit tired.
"Give me a few more days. I will definitely get the Black - Bone Spiritual Treasure back to treat Jingzhan."
...
After finishing his business, Fu Lingshi immediately flew back. On his way back to the Fu family's residence, the driver saw the truck following their car in the rear - view mirror. He swallowed hard and said, "Young Master, isn't a whole truckload of stuff a bit too much?"
The truck was filled with beautiful custom - made dolls and toys that Fu Lingshi had bought from all over the world. He had bought almost everything that a little girl might like as a gift for Xia Sanghuan.
Hearing this, he just smiled lazily. His eyes were filled with doting. "As long as Huanhuan likes it, not to mention a truckload of stuff, even if she wants the whole world, I will offer it to her."
The driver was a bit stunned. He had heard that the little daughter of the Fu family had been brought back recently, but he didn't expect the young master to be so grand.
Passing by Jianghua Hospital, Fu Lingshi asked the driver to stop the car.
Then he went alone to visit Leng Jingzhan.
Fu Lingshi had an outstanding appearance and temperament. He attracted many glances on the way. Many nurses whispered to each other, praising his elegance and handsomeness.
When he reached the luxury ward, Fu Lingshi knocked on the door and entered.
"How is the situation now?"
Hearing his voice, Leng Chuanjin smiled bitterly. "There's still a chance."
Seeing that his face was a bit pale, Fu Lingshi frowned. "I heard from Yun Ye that you were attacked on the way. What happened?"
Leng Chuanjin sneered. "Who else could it be but Leng Qiuhua? I don't have time to play games with him now. But in the future, he'll get what he deserves."
"Okay."
"Aren't you going to pick up your younger sister? Why did you take the time to come here?"
"I was busy with a project abroad. Now I'm going back to see her. Coincidentally, my grandparents are also returning to the country today. They often talk about you on the phone. Why don't you come back with me to have a look?"
