Chapter 38

Seven years ago, Si Yin went to the military academy on his home planet to visit a friend and accidentally ran into Zhu Xiyuan, thus starting a romance.

The starting point of the story, the friend who made everything go wrong, was Xu Run.

Seven years later, everyone met again on their home planet, but each had a different identity.

Xu Run was surprised, and thinking that he almost helped Zhu Shaoquan with the plan, he was almost overwhelmed by guilt.

He remembered that what his father said was right. Being a kind person is more important than being an outstanding person.

Especially when they were born in a family like theirs that was watched by others, sometimes kindness could actually save lives.

Today, I was saved by my own principle of not harming others.

Even after seven years, Xu Run still hasn't forgotten how skilled Si Yin was and how he beat up the thief who robbed someone.

If the other party knew that someone wanted to do something to his partner and children, the consequences would be...

Xu Run couldn't even think about it.

However, Zhu Shaoquan really hated his brother and sister-in-law, including his young nephew.

Xu Run didn't quite understand his persecution complex at first, and when he found out that the "perpetrator" was his friend and teacher whom he once admired, he directly stood on the other side.

But based on his principles as a human being, he would not reveal Zhu Shaoquan's thoughts.

He couldn't be as outstanding as his father, the admiral, but at least he could be a good man with a clear conscience.

The couple opposite certainly had no idea what Zhu Shaoquan and Xu Run had communicated about. They chatted with the latter about the changes over the years, and the atmosphere was cordial and friendly.

Only Zhu Shaoquan wished he could just disappear.

Fu Fu finished most of the bowl of sago. Although it was still far inferior to what his mother made, it had been a long time since she had it, so it could barely satisfy her taste buds.

There was a circle of coconut milk on his lips, which looked more like a kitten's whiskers. He looked up and found that Zhu Shaoquan's bowl was not touched at all.

When ordering, everyone else asked for their favorite drinks, but Zhu Shaoquan was absent-minded and casually said, "Let's have the same."

That "he" happened to be Fuzai who spoke last.

So two identical bowls of coconut milk sago were placed in front of the two mortal enemies from the previous life.

At this time, the kitten had almost finished his drink, but still not satisfied, so he looked at the full bowl opposite with envy.

"Uncle," he asked with a hint of something else in his words, "don't you like drinking this?"

Zhu Shaoquan came back to his senses from his trance and saw that the little thing was so eager that its eyes almost fell into his bowl. His first reaction was to protect his own share.

In fact, he is not really interested in coconut milk. It seems that he has never drunk it since he was a child.

Or if another child came at this moment, he would definitely give it up generously.

But it happened to be Zhu Fu.

It was Zhu Fu who stabbed him to death in the dream and threatened him with death with an innocent and cute face outside the dream.

——From coconut milk to the position of the head of the Zhu family, and then to his life in this life, he will not give up anything to him!

Zhu Shaoquan protected the bowl, pushed it towards himself, and smiled: "No, I was just about to drink it."

Then, in front of the others, he picked up the bowl and drank it all in one breath.

It was as if there were no ingredients in it at all, and I drank it like water.

Zhu Fu: “…”

How afraid are they of being robbed?

Xu Run also patted his back awkwardly: "Shaoquan, don't choke..."

Zhu Xiyuan glanced at him disapprovingly: "What a look."

As the eldest brother, he is several years older than Zhu Shaoquan and Zhu Xiaoling, and has been responsible for teaching them since childhood.

He instinctively wanted to stop such an indecent thing.

Unexpectedly, this sentence was like a spark, igniting Zhu Shaoquan's powder keg.

The young man pushed the table away and stood up suddenly. The force was so great that the cups of several others shook at the same time and almost spilled.

Since the truth had already been revealed, Zhu Shaoquan didn't want to put on airs anymore: "Stop pretending to control me!"

Xu Run was shocked. Zhu Shaoquan had always been very gentle in front of him, but he didn't expect that his nature was like this.

Zhu Xiyuan seemed calm in the face of his scolding, while Si Yin's face turned cold.

No one responded to what he had just said. Zhu Shaoquan became even more angry and said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you act like a good brother and teach me a lesson?"

He pointed at Zhu Xiyuan and Si Yin: "Look at the two of you, the unlucky star of the Zhu family, and the little bastard of the Si family, you two are really a perfect match, hahahahaha!!"

Si Yin stood up.

He is very tall and very intimidating when he is not smiling.

Zhu Shaoquan subconsciously took a step back, then realized that they were in public, and the empire had severe punishment for fighting in public, so even Si Yin didn't dare to take action.

So he became even more unscrupulous: "You also know that you are not worthy of our family, and you also know why my parents dislike you? Look at your mother, I have long said that she has a problem with her brain. I don't know how she was raped by thousands of people when she was young, and then she had you——"

Crack——

There was a crack on the tabletop.

Si Yin slammed his palm on the table, the fire in his eyes wishing he could burn Zhu Shaoquan to death.

His face was terribly gloomy, and veins on his hands were bulging. Xu Run had seen how he had blown up a strange beast with a single punch when he was in the army, so he was afraid that he might cause a loss of life, so he quickly stood up to stop him.

Zhu Xiyuan's eyes were cold, shooting at Zhu Shaoquan like an icy blade: "Apologize."

Zhu Shaoquan clenched his fists. "Why, my dear brother, is there anything wrong with what I said about my sister-in-law's life story? You marry a man like that, and get fucked by a bastard. Aren't you afraid of giving birth to a bastard yourself?"

He just wanted to say such things on purpose to disgust people. The angrier Si Yin and Zhu Xiyuan were, the more satisfied he would feel.

But Zhu Xiyuan calmed down because of his insulting words.

She even showed a hint of confusion: "I always thought my parents loved you very much."

Zhu Shaoquan: “?”

"...But you're throwing a tantrum here now, as if you're really in need of love."

Zhu Xiyuan was about the same height as him, but at this moment Zhu Shaoquan had the illusion that he was being looked down upon.

It seems like my brother has always been high and mighty, even if he eloped, even if he was kicked out of the house, he would always be pure and spotless.

Even though she had her father's support and was about to take over the Zhu family, in his eyes, she was insignificant.

"If you're already this old, and you still rely on slandering others to gain attention," Zhu Xiyuan said softly, "Brother, you're still as pitiful as you were when you were little."

After he said this, he didn't look at Zhu Shaoquan again. He patted Si Yin's shoulder and said to Xu Run, "Would you like to come sit with us?"

Xu Run had been stunned by the sarcastic and private conversation just now. He had been wanting to pull out the Family Dispute Center for a long time. He nodded hurriedly when he heard this: "Oh, oh, oh, okay, okay, professor."

Those people left in a lively atmosphere, leaving behind Zhu Shaoquan who was doubly humiliated.

His teeth were chattering, and he just wanted to overturn the table in front of him and smash it on Zhu Xiyuan.

But he couldn't do it.

"Uncle..."

The boy's voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Zhu Shaoquan lowered his head and saw Fu Fu's face full of concern. She seemed to have deliberately broken free from her fathers' hands and ran over to comfort him.

...something's wrong.

How could this little kitten be so kind?

He was extremely wary of Zhu Fu, but the concern in the kitten's big, watery eyes didn't seem fake. It seemed as if he really felt pity for him.

"Do you really hate my dad? Do you hate me too?" The child tugged at his sleeve, speaking in a pitiful baby voice.

No one else would be able to remain sympathetic towards the little kitten. Fortunately, Zhu Shaoquan did not forget the pain of the big hole in his chest in his dream.

He didn't speak.

"But, little uncle, didn't I tell you last time?" Zhu Fu's voice was so low it was almost a whisper. "If you dare to hurt my fathers again, I will make you... live a life worse than death."

He glanced at the door and saw several leaders from the Yinling meeting entering the restaurant, chatting and laughing, and had not yet noticed Zhu Shaoquan.

They are getting closer and closer and are about to come over here.

Fufu suddenly stood on tiptoe and poured all the remaining sago on herself, crying loudly: "No... Uncle, don't hit me..."

Everyone, including the leaders, focused their attention.

What they saw was the angry faces of the adults and the coconut milk dripping down the children's wet clothes.
