You Dare Hit Me!

Feng Yanshan led Meng Shangzhi to the study.

Feng Yanshan said, "Zhiyou, come in with me." After speaking, his gaze swept back and forth between Bai Yunsheng and Feng Tingfan. "You two go entertain the guests outside."

Just as Bai Yunsheng was about to respond, Meng Shangzhi suddenly said, "You didn't get caught in the rain on the way here, but you got quite drenched outside." He beckoned with a hand and calmly instructed the person beside him, "Five minutes. Bring over a set of clothes."

Several members of the Feng Household showed a momentary look of confusion. Even Feng Zhiyou, whose face was always expressionless, blanked out for a few seconds.

If Meng Shangzhi's concern just now had merely stemmed from basic courtesy—

Then what was this...

Bai Yunsheng's gaze flickered slightly. He pressed his red lips together, and this time, he did not refuse. "Thank you, Mr. Meng."

Meng Shangzhi nodded. "Remember to take a shower." Without waiting for Bai Yunsheng to reply, he turned and entered the study.

Once Meng Shangzhi left, the Feng family members dispersed as well. As Bai Yunsheng went downstairs, he happened to run into Feng Tingfan on the landing, talking on the phone. Feng Tingfan shot Bai Yunsheng an unfriendly look, then hung up and walked toward him.

Bai Yunsheng acted as though he did not see him. Just as Feng Tingfan opened his mouth to say something, Bai Yunsheng calmly walked right past him.

Feng Tingfan paused, anger immediately appearing on his face. "Hey!"

Bai Yunsheng did not stop. Just as he lifted his foot to go down the stairs, someone forcefully pressed a hand onto his shoulder. Bai Yunsheng frowned impatiently.

So annoying.

Feng Tingfan said, "Didn't you hear me talking to you?"

Bai Yunsheng said, "Are you referring to the word 'hey'?"

Bai Yunsheng's tone was far from pleasant. Feng Tingfan said viciously, "Do you know who you're talking to?"

"A person." Bai Yunsheng cast him a cold sideways glance and softly asked, "Aren't you one too?"

"You!" Feng Tingfan raised his hand.

Slapping people was commonplace for Feng Tingfan. The worst time, he had slapped Bai Yunsheng's ear until it bled.

Before the slap could land, Bai Yunsheng grabbed his wrist. His reaction was so quick that Feng Tingfan had no time to dodge the backhanded slap Bai Yunsheng threw at him.

His ears rang, and the pain instantly brought tears streaming from Feng Tingfan's eyes.

The pain left Feng Tingfan dazed. A few seconds later, his eyes turned bloodshot as he tore his throat raw with a shriek. "You fucking dared to hit me!" Then he lunged at him like a madman.

Bai Yunsheng lowered his gaze and tried to dodge sideways, but Feng Tingfan seized him hard. Years of abuse had hollowed out Bai Yunsheng's body. His earlier counterattack had only succeeded because Feng Tingfan had been caught off guard. His body jolted violently, and he fell backward toward the stair railing. At the critical moment, the force restraining Bai Yunsheng vanished, followed by another force that yanked him away.

Bai Yunsheng's head barely brushed past the railing.

When everything settled, Bai Yunsheng was standing safely beside the railing.

Still shaken, his breathing had quickened.

"I never expected the Feng family to be so close and affectionate between brothers." It was clearly praise, yet it took on an entirely different meaning in that person's mouth.

Still consumed by anger, Feng Tingfan did not get a good look at the newcomer. "Who the hell are you? How dare you touch me?" The next second, he looked up and froze, though only for an instant. "I thought it was someone important. You're just one of Meng Shangzhi's dogs."

The man ignored Feng Tingfan's rude words. "Young Master Bai, are you all right?"

Bai Yunsheng shook his head. His breathing was rapid, and his heart was still pounding faster in his chest. "I'm fine. Thank you."

"Mr. Meng asked me to give you these clothes."

Bai Yunsheng looked at Feng Tingfan over the man's shoulder, then accepted the clothes under Feng Tingfan's furious stare. The moment he moved, Feng Tingfan charged at him, only to be stopped before he could get close.

After being slapped, Feng Tingfan had already been furious. He did not dare offend Meng Shangzhi, but this man was merely one of Meng Shangzhi's lackeys, yet he dared to meddle in his business. Feng Tingfan had been spoiled and indulged too much. He did not understand at all how important the words "someone by his side" were.

"Get the hell out of my way. A dog dares interfere in the Feng family's affairs?"

Looking at Feng Tingfan's arrogant, stupid mouth, Bai Yunsheng could not help but laugh softly. Naturally, Feng Tingfan noticed that smile as well.

"Bai Yunsheng, just watch whether I kill you today!" Feng Tingfan snarled, his face twisted as he rushed at him again.

The man did not indulge him either. He kicked out, but with restraint, striking only Feng Tingfan's knee. Feng Tingfan was thus forced to kneel on the ground before Bai Yunsheng.

Feng Tingfan's face turned the color of liver, half from anger and half from pain. "Where is everyone? Where the fuck did they all die?" His furious tone, paired with the veins bulging on his forehead, made him look both miserable and ugly.

A few seconds later, the servants on the second floor finally arrived.

The man turned around. "Young Master Bai, go back first. I'll handle things here."

Bai Yunsheng asked, "Will this cause trouble for Mr. Meng?"

The man's disdainful gaze fell on Feng Tingfan, kneeling on the floor. "Someone like this doesn't count as trouble."

Bai Yunsheng thanked him and left, looking back every few steps.

Feng Tingfan was in too much pain to stand. Bai Yunsheng's slap had provoked him, and on top of that, he had gained no advantage. The moment he saw Bai Yunsheng leave, something in him snapped. He suddenly began cursing, his words vicious and his voice shrill and loud. Guests passing through the first floor repeatedly looked upstairs after hearing him. Meng Shangzhi and Feng Yanshan, in the study on the second floor, naturally heard him too.

Feng Yanshan's expression darkened. He signaled to the secretary beside him, but Meng Shangzhi, who had been drinking tea, suddenly set down his cup and looked straight at him. The secretary's steps stopped abruptly. "Chairman Feng, your son is quite lively."

Feng Yanshan's expression became even uglier. "Go see what that unfilial brat is doing again!"

"A bitch's son is a bitch too."

"Bai Yunsheng, just watch whether I kill you!"

"Your mother was shameless, and so are you. A bastard who can't show his face should just die."

The insults continued.

When the word "bastard" was mentioned, cold sweat even appeared on Feng Yanshan's forehead.

Very soon, Feng Tingfan's voice disappeared.

A brief silence fell over the tea room inside the study.

Feng Yanshan said, "Chairman Meng..."

Meng Shangzhi interrupted him. "Chairman Feng, you're quite good at raising children."

Feng Yanshan gave an awkward laugh. "Chairman Meng, the child doesn't know any better. I'll teach him a proper lesson later."

Meng Shangzhi stood up, smoothly slipping the prayer beads onto his wrist. "No need."

"For the cooperation, I have a better candidate."
