Shen Huaixu followed Meimei and saw her go to the vegetable market, find a snake vendor, buy a black snake, find a veterinary clinic, talk to the doctor inside, and then leave in a hurry.
Shen Huaixu then realized that Nan Zhi was indeed deceiving him.
His gaze instantly darkened, emanating a chilling aura of danger.
"Hey, isn't this my brother who became a live-in son-in-law?"
A piercing sound came from beside my ears.
As soon as Shen Yunfan emerged from the gambling den, he was greeted by Shen Huaixu, whom he hadn't seen for months.
He looked him over and saw that he was doing much better than he had been at the Shen family home. He was dressed in fine silk and satin, and even his physique was much stronger.
Shen Yunfan was filled with jealousy and stepped forward to deliver a sarcastic remark.
"Good brother, it seems that Miss Nan treats you very well. You also like to live off women. Look how well you look."
“Brother, I really envy you. You’re living a good life, but you never go home to see your parents. It’s pitiful that your parents think about you and long for you every day, but they never expected to raise such an ungrateful child.”
Shen Yunfan's voice was quite loud, and a large crowd immediately gathered around him.
Some people echoed Shen Yunfan's sentiments.
"I'm terrified of Miss Nan's appearance, but I didn't expect this kid to eat so heartily."
"A grown man like him has become a live-in son-in-law. It's utterly shameful."
"Tsk tsk, I'm not trying to be mean, but that Miss Nan is both ugly and shrewish, how could he bring himself to kiss her?"
...
Most of those who echoed her sentiments were people who had previously discussed Nam Gyi and had been beaten by her.
Several of them were the young men who had proposed marriage to Nan Wan last time.
Even if they said the most hurtful things, Shen Huaixu didn't care at all. He turned to leave expressionlessly, but Shen Yunfan grabbed his sleeve.
"Brother, aren't you really going back to see our parents?"
Ever since Shen Huaixu married into the Nan family, they received a thousand taels of silver for nothing. Shen Yunfan then used that money to frequent gambling dens and brothels.
Now that they're almost out of money, seeing that Shen Huaixu is dressed so well, he naturally wants to take him back and squeeze him dry with his parents.
Shen Yunfan is unhygienic and hasn't showered for a month, so he smells terrible.
As he approached, the stench became incredibly pungent, and Shen Huaixu finally showed emotion in his eyes.
He looked at Shen Yunfan, who was full of scheming, and raised the corner of his lips: "Let go of me, and I will go back with you."
Shen Yunfan let go of him; even in public, he still kept a bit of his composure.
Shen Yunfan followed behind Shen Huaixu and walked together toward the Shen family's residence.
On the way, Shen Yunfan couldn't help but start asking him to give him money.
"Although you are not their biological child, without parents, you would have died long ago."
"The debt of gratitude for raising me is greater than heaven. Anyway, I don't care. The Nan family is so big and powerful, you have to find a way to give me some money. I don't need much, just five hundred taels. And give my parents five hundred taels too..."
As Shen Yunfan was speaking, he suddenly saw Shen Huaixu stop and turn around, staring at him with eyes like hooks.
Shen Yunfan was immediately furious: "What are you looking at?!"
A scream echoed through the dark alley.
Shen Yunfan was kicked to the ground.
As if he had lost his mind, Shen Huaixu began to punch him wildly.
"Help! Help!"
Shen Yunfan screamed in agony, which quickly attracted several of his cronies.
Several people immediately surrounded Shen Huaixu, and one of them pulled Shen Yunfan up.
Shen Yunfan spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes blazing with fury: "Kill him for me."
The group immediately rubbed their hands together, eager to get started, and walked towards Shen Huaixu.
Shen Huaixu slowly tightened his fist.
It seemed to be the first time he had done something like this, and his eyes held a terrifying gloom and an unstoppable madness.
He seemed fearless, as if his soul had been dragged into hell, and even the smile on his lips was chilling.
However, this fierce aura instantly froze in the next second.
"I'd like to see who dares to bully my people!"
The familiar voice, like jade shattering ice, was low and slow, with a hint of coldness.
He slowly turned his head and saw that flamboyant red figure walking from the light, stepping little by little into this desolate dark alley.
She stood in front of him, raised her hand, and said casually, "Here's a thousand taels. Want it?"
Shen Yunfan was the first to have tears in his eyes.
Is Nan Zhi here to apologize to him on behalf of Shen Huaixu?
Just as he was about to reach out, he saw Nan Zhi's lips curl into a seductive smile: "You guys, beat up Chen Yunfan, and this thousand taels will be yours."
Shen Yunfan suddenly felt several pairs of eyes staring at him like wolves.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, we're friends..."
They were all penniless, so how could they not be tempted by money?
Do you consider Shen Yunfan a friend?
What a joke! If it weren't for the need to trick him into treating them to meals and drinks, who would want to be his friend?
Before Shen Yunfan could finish speaking, he was surrounded by a group of people.
Nan Zhi looked on indifferently: "You're not allowed to beat someone to death."
The group then avoided vital areas and gave Shen Yunfan a severe beating.
Nanzhi gave them the money, and they grinned from ear to ear, then took it and ran off.
In the alley, Shen Yunfan cried out in anguish.
He pointed at Nanzhi and said he was going to the yamen to sue her.
Nan Zhi sneered: "Then go ahead. I want to see if the magistrate will stand up for you or for me when you bully my husband like this?"
Husband...
Shen Huaixu looked at her.
She seemed very angry, kicked Chen Yunfan hard, and then turned around to grab his hand.
He didn't react for a moment and was pulled along by her for several steps.
"Shen Huaixu, are you stupid?"
"So many people are bullying you, and you obviously can't beat them, yet you still dare to argue with them."
"Can't you run away?"
"If this happens again, come back to me and I'll beat them up for you."
A resistance came from her hand. Nanzhi turned around and saw Shen Huaixu staring at her with his eyes lowered and his gaze ambiguous.
There was no gratitude in that.
Nan Zhi already knew that he had seen Mei Mei buy the snake, and she felt a little guilty. She lowered her head, wanting to make excuses, but then she saw that there was a large patch of skin scraped on the back of his hand, and blood was sliding down the wound.
"How did you get injured like this? Come on, I'll take you to see a doctor."
She tried to pull him, but this time she couldn't budge him.
Is it fun to lie to me?
"When did I lie to you?" Nan Zhi had already thought of a way to deal with it, and instantly became firm.
Shen Huaixu smiled, but his dimples, which looked warm, now seemed somewhat sinister.
Nan Zhi felt a killing intent stronger than ever before, and her scalp tingled.
“That black snake was on its last legs, and the veterinarian couldn’t cure it. I was afraid you would be heartbroken if you saw it was dying, so I asked Meimei to buy a fake snake.”
Shen Huaixu remained silent, only staring coldly at her.
"If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see it."
Nan Zhi grabbed his hand, and seeing that he was still resisting, she looked up at him seriously: "If I lie to you this time, may I die a horrible death."
