Lu Yunzhou, with one hand wrapped in bandages and hanging around his neck, put down the wine bottle in his hand, and with his other hand, he struggled to stand up, supporting himself on the sofa.
After regaining his balance, he grabbed a glass bottle and let out a loud burp, his brain still foggy from the alcohol.
He took a step forward, his body staggering: "Fu Huaijin, you bastard, I treated you like a brother, how dare you seduce my woman."
Lu Yunzhou had drunk too much tonight, and with the lighting dim, he intended to rush over and smash Fu Huaijin's head in, but he tripped over the sofa after only a few steps. The glass bottle in his hand slipped from his grasp and fell onto the carpet, spilling white liquor and soaking the carpet. His head hit the coffee table hard, but there was no bleeding, only a large bump.
Fu Huaijin's eyes sharpened when he heard the words "my woman." He walked steadily to Lu Yunzhou, and just as Lu Yunzhou stood up, a gust of wind whistled past, and Lu Yunzhou was slapped across the face.
His slap seemed heavy, but it only left five finger marks on his face and drew a little blood.
The person who had just stood up lost his balance again and fell towards the table full of bottles.
With a loud crash, all the bottles and jars on top were smashed to the ground, and countless liquids mixed with a strong aroma of alcohol filled the living room.
Fu Huaijin waved to the person behind him: "Take him to sober up."
"Yes." After receiving the order, two people came out and swiftly picked up the person on the ground, dragging him to the bathroom like a dead dog to 'sober up'.
Although the bathroom door was closed, painful screams could still be heard coming from inside.
When Lu Yunzhou was dragged back to the living room, the lights were already on.
The man sat upright on the sofa, his figure appearing even more noble and extraordinary in the interplay of light and shadow, like an emperor from ancient times, exuding an otherworldly aura that made people dare not look directly at his majesty.
Lu Yunzhou had sobered up considerably, his rationality returned, and his vision gradually cleared, allowing him to see the man sitting on the sofa.
Their eyes met in mid-air. He was suddenly stunned. This was clearly his home, but he looked haggard, reeked of alcohol, and was soaked from head to toe, all of which revealed his disheveled state.
But the foreign invader looked down on him with the arrogance of an emperor.
A surge of anger rose within him, and he struggled fiercely, trying to break free from the restraints of the two people beside him, but without their master's orders, even if he broke both of his arms, it would be futile.
"Fu Huaijin, what exactly do you want?" Lu Yunzhou shouted angrily at the man.
“I’m telling you, Xixi will come back to me sooner or later. He’s mine. You thief, so what if you take him away now?”
"You're a monster. Once she sees your true colors, she'll definitely stay away from you."
Few people know the true state of Fu Huaijin's health. All that is known is that he is sometimes very weak and has been to the hospital several times, but after a while he will appear in public as if nothing is wrong, and people just assume it is normal illness.
However, the truth is not so.
Only a few close aristocratic families knew about Fu Huaijin's situation.
This included him; in his eyes, Fu Huaijin was a monster, and even if he wasn't now, he would become a monster sooner or later.
I still remember when I was ten years old, at a family banquet, the moon was blood red and eerily bright. Fu Huaijin tore his dog to pieces with his bare hands. Anything that came near him, whether animal or plant, would be ruthlessly destroyed and killed by him.
This is something no normal person could do.
He already had very few friends. Because Lu Yun accidentally stumbled in and saw some things he shouldn't have seen, the Fu family knew they couldn't hide it from them, so they increased their business dealings with the Lu family, bringing the two families closer together.
Lu Yun naturally became one of Fu Huaijin's friends.
From a young age, Fu Huaijin had a strange temper. He resisted anyone who showed him kindness and always maintained a distant and aloof demeanor towards everyone.
Despite his aloof demeanor, many people still flocked to him to curry favor and flatter him because of his status.
Perhaps because Lu Yunzhou knew his little secret, he wasn't so averse to being around Fu Huaijin, but it was just getting close and exchanging a few words before the feelings faded away.
As Lu Yunzhou grew up, he developed his own temper and made more and more friends. He no longer insisted on following Fu Huaijin around, and the two communicated less and less until they became the most familiar strangers.
Although Fu Huaijin has acted normally these past few years, no, he's been hiding.
But some things cannot be hidden by mere superficial concealment.
The Fu family has deep roots and a vast business empire in Shengjing. Their prestige and strength are so great that almost no one dares to provoke them. Even if the two cannot be best friends who can talk about anything, they still have to get along amicably for the sake of their social circles and business dealings.
But to his utter surprise, this man stole his fiancée away.
How could he not hate him, how could he not be angry?
“Fu Huaijin, I’m warning you, bring Xixi back right now, or I’ll expose your secret. Do you think Xixi would still stay with you if she knew you were a monster?”
"No, she'll break up with you decisively, look at you strangely, and call you a monster..."
"Ugh... let... me go." Lu Yunzhou, who had just been shouting arrogantly, was now being grabbed by the neck and easily lifted into the air. His legs were shaking violently in the air, and one healthy hand was clenched into a fist, forcefully pounding the arm that was choking his throat.
But Fu Huaijin's arm was like an impenetrable wall. Lu Yunzhou, who was already drunk, had even less strength. He punched Fu Huaijin several times, but Fu Huaijin's arm didn't budge an inch.
Fu Huaijin's eyes were bloodshot, with an unusual light flashing deep in his pupils. He enjoyed watching the dying man struggle. The more pain he was in, the stronger he struggled. His nerves were incredibly excited, and an unknown bloodlust was quietly spreading deep within him. He couldn't help but increase the force in his hands.
"If you want the Lu family to be destroyed, you can say whatever you want, but I don't know if the Lu family can afford the price."
Having been in this position for so long, Lu Yunzhou has probably forgotten what the Lu family is, and dares to come and challenge him.
"Stay away from Xixi from now on, and don't bother her anymore."
"If I see it..."
"I kill you."
Fu Huaijin spoke with a firm and resounding voice, making no attempt to conceal the intense killing intent in his eyes. It was not merely an expression of emotion, but a resolute reaction to the threat he had received regarding his deepest secrets.
Moreover, Su Yuxi is now his woman, and this man was once the one with whom she had the deepest bond.
He just didn't want that kind of person to appear in front of Xixi again.
