It was obvious that the elders' persuasion had no effect at all. The more they coaxed Fu Kai, the more outrageous he became.
Fu Kai, a grown man in his early twenties, was sitting on the floor like a whining child. No matter how the two old people tried to pull him up, he showed no sign of getting up.
Of course, in his current state, he simply couldn't get up.
"Fu Kai, haven't you had enough of this?" Fu Zeming said through gritted teeth. It was really a great "credit" of his good son to make the two old people scurry around him like this.
"Ling Shi, Chuan Jin, go and put Fu Kai back to bed."
Fortunately, everyone in the ward was from their own family. If an outsider saw Fu Kai crying and making a scene on the floor, the Fu family would lose all their face.
If his parents weren't here, Fu Zeming would have just left the ward with his children. He could sit there and cry for as long as he wanted.
"Yes."
Fu Lingshi and Leng Chuanjin each grabbed one side of Fu Kai and lifted him into the air.
This scene was really quite imaginative. Xia Sanghuan, hiding in the corner, couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
She couldn't help it. It was really because the way her eldest brother and Leng Chuanjin carried Fu Kai was just like how big men in the countryside carried a pig.
In the ward, in order to keep a low profile, Xia Sanghuan had actually been standing behind Fu Lingshi. Now that he had left, she was completely exposed in front of everyone.
Fu Kai naturally saw Xia Sanghuan's smile just now. To him, it was an outright mockery.
"A wild girl from the countryside. It's not even certain if she'll be a part of the Fu family. How dare she laugh at me? She must be tired of living."
Fu Kai's eyes were blazing with anger as he pointed at Xia Sanghuan and roared, "Why is this country bumpkin still here?"
In an instant, almost everyone's eyes followed Fu Kai's finger and landed on her.
Xia Sanghuan pointed at herself. "You're talking about me?"
"Besides you, is there anyone else here from the countryside?" Fu Kai leaned against the headboard and looked at Xia Sanghuan haughtily.
As he said this, Fu Kai's eyes casually glanced at Fu Lingshi standing beside him.
He almost forgot that there was someone here with the Fu family name but whose blood didn't belong to the Fu family.
All of Fu Kai's eye movements fell into Xia Sanghuan's eyes. Just as he was about to drag Fu Lingshi into the argument, Xia Sanghuan stepped forward, shrugged, and said indifferently, "If you say so, then so be it."
"I've lived in the countryside for eighteen years. Your description is actually quite accurate."
"Country bumpkin" was originally a derogatory term, but Xia Sanghuan stated it as a fact. Since she had already admitted it, Fu Kai was left speechless.
He even forgot what he had planned to say about Fu Lingshi just now.
At this moment, Xia Sanghuan's slender figure stood right in front of Fu Lingshi. Although she only reached his shoulder, Fu Lingshi could feel that his little sister was protecting him. A warm current flowed through his heart.
"You!" Fu Kai's finger pointing at Xia Sanghuan was trembling.
"Fourth brother, do you have any other words to describe me? Huanhuan is really curious." Xia Sanghuan pretended to be innocent and asked very cutely.
She was really curious about how much knowledge this good - for - nothing young master of the Fu family actually had.
She hadn't even said anything yet, and he was already out of words?
Fu Youqing beside her couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering when she heard her little sister's words to Fu Kai. It turned out that her little sister's veiled sarcasm was so powerful.
"Youqing, keep your voice down." Fu Moning shook her head helplessly. This was really not the time to laugh.
"Got it, third sister." Fu Youqing whispered, "I just can't help it."
Xia Sanghuan's guess was right. Fu Kai's fighting power was really weak.
In the past, it was always him who made things difficult for others. Others, just because of his status as the fourth young master of the Fu family, didn't even dare to refute him a single bit, let alone talk back. Meeting someone like Xia Sanghuan was really the first time.
Why was this Xia Sanghuan so hard to deal with? Wasn't she supposed to be inexperienced? Hadn't she always been in the countryside?
Why was she so calm in the face of his provocation?
"You, you're just a jinx!" It took Fu Kai a long time to come up with this sentence. After saying it, he thought it made perfect sense and emphasized it again, "Yes, you're a jinx. I had an accident right after you came!"
"Ha?" Xia Sanghuan thought her expectations of Fu Kai were a bit too high. The last time she heard the word "jinx", it was from the witch in the village who was trying to frame her.
She never thought that the great fourth young master of the Fu family would actually believe such nonsense.
Xia Sanghuan couldn't help but think that if the witch from the countryside came into the ward, she might really be able to have a good chat with Fu Kai.
"Xiaokai, Huanhuan is the daughter of the Fu family and your younger sister. You can't talk to her like that."
"What kind of daughter of the family is she? She's been in the countryside for eighteen years. Who knows if she's been switched at birth?" Fu Kai said disdainfully.
He remembered very clearly that many people had said at that time that the newly - born younger sister wouldn't live long. Now, suddenly, a healthy girl was brought back from the countryside. Wasn't this just blatantly trying to fool a fool?
Only his father and those two stupid sisters would believe it.
Before Xia Sanghuan could decide how to "repay" her fourth brother, her eldest brother, Fu Lingshi, stepped right in front of her.
When Fu Kai was about to say something about him just now, Xia Sanghuan noticed that her eldest brother didn't show any reaction.
She could understand. Because of his awkward status, her eldest brother would try his best to avoid direct conflict with Fu Kai, which would embarrass their father.
So she had stood up for her eldest brother just now.
She never thought that her eldest brother would directly confront Fu Kai for her sake.
"Fu Kai, apologize to Huanhuan!" There was obvious anger on Fu Lingshi's face.
Seeing Fu Lingshi like this, Fu Kai instinctively shrank back. Then, seeing his grandparents beside him, he regained his courage.
"She's a jinx. Why should I be polite to her? And why should I listen to you!"
"Because I'm your eldest brother!"
Seeing Fu Lingshi like this, Fu Youqing couldn't help shrinking her neck and whispered to Fu Moning, "Second sister, big brother is really angry."
"I haven't seen big brother angry for a long time." Usually, big brother was always kind and gentle to them at home.
But once someone angered big brother, his anger was not easy to bear.
