Although Huo Cihai was drunk, he wouldn't let anyone bully him. He swirled his wine glass, looking nonchalant. "What? You think you're so great? You're just an illegitimate child, and you dare call me cousin?"
Huo Cifeng gave a forced smile; he hated being called a bastard son, and at that moment he wished he could strangle Huo Cihai to death and shut him up forever.
"I am indeed an illegitimate child, but my cousin seems to be even worse off than an illegitimate child. I heard you really like to gamble at Golden Sands Casino, is that true? Does your mother know you've lost a lot of money?"
Huo Cifeng completely ignored the shocked looks from everyone.
Everyone present was Huo Cihai's friend and knew about this matter.
But how could Huo Cifeng know?
To everyone's surprise, Huo Cihai laughed instead of getting angry. "You can go and tell her, but I advise you not to go and get rejected. You're all grown up, yet you still love to tattle. To be honest, there's a reason why you're not as good as your older brother Huo Cixiao."
After receiving a barrage of insults, Huo Cifeng did not get angry; he simply walked away calmly.
That night, when Huo Cihai returned, he was put in a sack and beaten up. It is said that he was bruised and swollen, and lost several teeth.
Huo Cihai felt that the illegitimate child must have done it, so he told his mother, feeling both indignant and aggrieved.
Mo Baili first berated Huo Cihai for his lack of ambition and forbade him from entering the casino, then said, "So you think Huo Cifeng did this?"
Huo Cihai nodded, thinking that no one else could do it. Huo Cifeng had first come to provoke him, and then he had persuaded him to back down. Of course, Huo Cifeng harbored resentment and was bound to beat him up.
Early in the morning, the old man looked at his grandson, who was swollen like a pig, and for a moment couldn't remember his name.
Huo Cihai knelt on the ground and said, "Grandpa, do you know how arrogant Huo Cifeng is? I only said a few words in the private room, and he had people beat me up... I haven't been able to leave the house for a while now."
Old Master Huo's head was throbbing from his crying. "Alright, get up and sit down. Call Huo Cifeng here for a face-to-face confrontation."
Half an hour later, Huo Cifeng arrived, looking travel-worn. He saw a brightly colored pig-headed figure next to his grandfather and tentatively asked, "Are you Huo Cihai?"
Huo Cihai: "..." Fuck you, you're really good at pretending.
" A-Feng, did you do this?" Old Master Huo asked bluntly.
Huo Cifeng shook his head firmly, then feigned a forlorn tone and said, "I know, I know my cousin has always disliked me because I'm an illegitimate child. I know perfectly well that I'm an illegitimate child, yet I still care about my cousin's feelings. I really don't have the right... But don't pin all the blame on me..."
If it weren't for his grandfather's presence, Huo Cihai would definitely have given Huo Cifeng a good beating.
Old Master Huo sighed deeply, " A Hai, talk to me after you get the evidence."
Huo Cihai watched as Old Master Huo, leaning on his cane, left the living room, and he was furious.
But only Huo Cifeng might be capable of messing with him.
It's not that he has many enemies; apart from dealing with those brothers from the Huo Family, Huo Cihai has never mistreated anyone else.
Luo Beishi never dealt with him; at most, he would only be dissatisfied with the servants sent to him.
Given Luo Beishi's arrogant and pretentious personality, it's normal for him to be dissatisfied.
Although Luo Beishi was disgusted by the male prostitutes he had sent over, he didn't rush back to his side.
That's right, his cousin's wife would never treat him like that. He's done so many outrageous things, Luo Beishi still indulges him.
So Feng and Hai started arguing again.
Luo Beishi expressed his satisfaction, saying that he found this kind of divisive behavior quite enjoyable.
I had a wonderful day today.
Huo Cixiao heard his wife recount again how she had ordered someone to put a sack over Huo Cihai's head and beat him up.
He also told him about the situation on his grandfather's side.
Luo Beishi's network of connections and surveillance networks—how far had they spread? They even knew what was happening at the old man's house immediately...
If that's the case, how powerful must Luo Beishi be? It feels like he has his cronies all over the country.
Huo Cixiao was somewhat worried that Luo Beishi might really destroy him if he couldn't have him.
After all, there's the case of Huo Cifeng.
The news of Huo Cihai being beaten was exhilarating; even his best friend couldn't help but laugh out loud.
So Huo Cihai also started a live stream to learn how to play the victim, but unexpectedly it only increased Huo Cifeng's popularity.
[My God, where did this come from? It startled me!]
[How could a body double like Huo Cifeng do something like this to him? Well done!]
[Haha, brotherly love and respect]
I've heard that illegitimate children in wealthy families are generally disliked.
[Don't wrongly accuse the stand-in, you haven't done anything good either, have you?]
Huo Cihai didn't expect to be ridiculed by everyone; this was different from what he had imagined.
He was beaten up like that, don't these viewers have any heart?
"Beep beep beep..." The phone rang; it was her mother.
"Get out of this house right now! I don't have a brain-dead son like you! You got beaten up and now you're making yourself the laughingstock of the whole internet! You've completely disgraced me!" Mo Baili launched into a torrent of abuse after calling.
Huo Cihai was angry and aggrieved. He would not leave this family, not even if it meant death.
Meanwhile, Huo Cifeng was finally able to regain some face from Huo Cihai.
Actually, he had already heard that someone was trying to frame him, so he deliberately went to the private room to say a few words to Huo Cihai.
He was inexplicably relieved that this idiot would actually fall for it without hesitation.
On the very night Huo Cifeng was feeling smug, he was suddenly caught in a sack as soon as he got off work.
The same thing happened again.
After receiving news that Huo Cifeng had also been beaten, Huo Cihai laughed until his stomach hurt. He called Li Ping and said, "See? Hahaha, let that illegitimate son laugh at him. He did too many bad things and got beaten up too, hahaha."
The next day, Huo Cifeng wore a mask to work, but it still couldn't hide the bruises around his eyes.
Those who couldn't find Luo Beishi then came to wait for Huo Cifeng, and so they took photos of Huo Cifeng's injury and uploaded them online.
The internet is buzzing again.
[My God, hahaha, no wonder we're brothers, we've been through thick and thin together!]
[ A Hai, don't cry, someone's here for you.]
[Stand user, how did you get attacked too?]
[That's what you call a slap in the face]
[Hmm, this shows that the Huo Family is really murky, hahaha]
[ A Hai, you've misunderstood the stunt double. Apologize to him quickly; he can't possibly hit himself, can he?]
Luo Beishi almost died laughing after reading these comments. He was a person who liked to share, so he told Huo Cixiao the whole story again.
Huo Cixiao: "..." It's a good thing you didn't stand against me.
Luo Beishi's laughter, like leaping musical notes, lingered in the room for a moment before fading away.
Huo Cixiao wanted to reach out and touch Luo Beishi's neck. What kind of throat could produce such a melodious laugh?
His cheap wife is constantly seducing him.
