Here’s how Xia Yuluo’s cheating incident happened: While concentrating on her exam, a piercing phone ringtone suddenly emerged from her seat, possibly at maximum volume, loud enough to be heard in the next classroom.
Then, under the furious gaze of the invigilator, she frantically searched for her phone, turning her desk completely upside down and finally discovered her long-lost phone was taped underneath with transparent tape.
Then she was removed from the exam room without any chance to explain, because the potentially implicated invigilator was already extremely angry.
“Your father is really something. The exam room was sealed. How did he tape the phone? How did he know that was my seat?” Xia Yuluo frowned, unable to understand.
Fang Yuzhe knew she was deliberately pretending to be fine, but she was actually heartbroken. This matter couldn’t end like this. If he could get Xia Yuluo out of the exam room, he could also get her into university, otherwise the consequences would be severe!
Fang Tiancheng knew in advance about Xia Yuluo’s decision to give up the college entrance exam, wondering if he was being too harsh. Just then, a news story broke in the city about a young girl who committed suicide due to poor performance in the college entrance exam. This made Fang Tiancheng even more worried that if Xia Yuluo were to do something similar, his son would hold an unresolvable grudge against him.
Boss Fang quickly sent someone to monitor the young girl he had harmed, learning that she had no unusual behavior and was even chatting and laughing with his son. This further convinced him she was trying to manipulate his foolish son and eyeing him, Fang Tiancheng, as a target.
A snot-nosed little brat daring to challenge him? If he didn’t put her in her place, he would be letting himself down!
“Mr. Fang, I must inform you that your son came and smashed your office today! And your beloved big golden dragon was unfortunately killed by the broken glass—”
“Why didn’t you stop him!”
“He beat the security guards until their noses were bleeding, saying that if you don’t come back, he’ll smash the nightclub tomorrow.”
Fang Tiancheng was speechless for a moment, then laughed out of anger, “Good boy, how dare you play tough with your dad! I’ll definitely teach you a lesson!”
Fang Yuezhe went to smash his father’s office as a warning, not breaking the most expensive items, but killing the fish his father loved most.
“You’re only making things worse!” Xia Yuluo prevented him from making such impulsive actions.
“Whatever, your college is already ruined. What could be worse than this?”
“I’ve already lost my chance at college, please don’t let me lose you too.”
Fang Tiancheng returned home a day early, not out of fear of his son smashing the nightclub, but because he received a call from the United States, knowing his father-in-law was returning to the country.
Fang’s father-in-law was an old Ph.D. in electronic research who owned a large company. He was returning to relax and check on his grandson. Since Fang Tiancheng’s warning not to give money to his grandson, he had been constantly thinking about this matter and feeling uneasy.
He had called Fang Yuezhe several times, but he either didn’t answer or gave evasive responses. Whenever his father was mentioned, the boy became emotionally agitated, indicating that the conflict was growing.
Both father and son had terrible tempers, neither willing to back down. The old man, having been in education, feared his rough son-in-law wouldn’t know how to educate him, potentially hurting his grandson’s delicate heart. This was his only daughter’s son!
Fang Tiancheng knew why his father-in-law was eager to return and didn’t want him to be overprotective, but he couldn’t stop him, so he might as well arrange a proper welcome.
Fang Yuezhe didn’t know about his grandfather’s return, as he was focused on confronting his father.
As soon as Fang Tiancheng got off the plane, he received the news and, despite Xia Yuluo’s objections, was determined to settle accounts with his father.
“What are we going to do about Yuluo not getting into college?” he cornered his father in the office.
“She brought this on herself. Didn’t I warn you? Oh, and you killed my fish, so the punishment will be increased on top of the existing one!”
“What else do you want? We have nothing left. Are you going to harm her?”
“I don’t rule out that possibility if you continue to be stubborn.”
Fang Yuezhe moved his hand from the desk, stood up straight, and took two steps back. “You say you’re doing all this for my own good?”
Fang Tiancheng coldly watched what trick he was going to play. “Of course, I’m doing this for your own good!”
“So you care about me and love me?”
“Of course! Is there anyone in this world who loves you more than your dad?”
“Is that so?” Fang Yuezhe nodded, “You’re hurting the girl I love, and I can’t protect her, so I can’t hurt you. Then I’ll hurt someone you love—”
Fang Tiancheng threatened not to guarantee he wouldn’t physically harm Xia Yuluo. This time, Fang Yuezhe no longer naively believed in his father’s “kindness” and decided to take him at his word, treating him in kind.
“You hurt the person I love, so I’ll hurt the person you love!” He pulled out a sharp double-edged dagger from his pocket, gripping the steel blade and slowly applying pressure…
Fang Tiancheng’s face turned white with fear. “Put it down! Xiao Zhe, don’t joke with your dad. Quickly give me the knife!”
Blood slowly flowed from his hand, droplets glistening bright red, rhythmically dripping on the floor. Fang Yuezhe calmly watched his own blood, his face showing a satisfied expression, as if admiring a piece of art.
“Are you crazy? Stop immediately!” Boss Fang couldn’t take it anymore and rushed to grab the knife.
Fang Yuezhe didn’t resist. He let go, and the knife fell to the ground. His hand, gripping the knife, was covered in blood. The cut was deep.
“Dad, if you really care about me, isn’t your heart hurting a bit now? Do you know that when you hurt Yuluo, my heart hurt just like this? If you want to harm her physically, I’ll suffer with her. Even if she dies, I’ll accompany her to the other world—”
He hadn’t finished his emotional speech when he received a heavy slap from his father. Fang Tiancheng, who had raised him for nineteen years, was hitting him for the first time. Not satisfied, he also picked up a teacup and smashed the cabinet.
“Get out, get far away from me! I’ll pretend I never had a son!” His finger pointing at his son trembled in the air.
Fang Yuezhe knew his father was truly angry this time. So what? Who made him so cruel to himself and Yu Luo? If he hadn’t been pushed to this point, he wouldn’t have known the extent of his determination.
“Then I’m leaving. Please don’t be angry. I’m still open to dialogue. Whenever you’re ready to let us go, just give me a call!”
“Don’t even think about—” He was about to say more threatening words, but when his eyes fell on the blood on the ground, he swallowed his words and finally said defeatedly: “Go, and don’t let me see you again!”
Fang Yuezhe had finally forced his father to stop speaking harshly. Victory came at the price of blood! He went straight to the hospital’s dressing room as soon as he left. It hurt so much! He no longer had the courage to cut himself again!
Fang Tiancheng was so angry with his son that his liver ached. “This troublemaker, how should I deal with him? I won’t—I, can’t I handle him?”
“Director Fang, why are you fighting with a kid like this?”
But Fang Tiancheng couldn’t swallow this humiliation. He, who had always threatened others, was now being threatened. How could he show his face if this got out!
He needed to calm down and think of a way to deal with his son and eliminate that girl, to restore his authority!
