Chapter 331 Disappointment
After being reminded by Chu Ci's mother-in-law, the old couple of the Fan family finally noticed that the place where they were standing was not right.
Mr. Fan was stunned for a moment, then he slowly looked around, a look of realization on his face. He coughed lightly and said, "Oh, I'm getting old. I'm so happy that I didn't even realize that this place is not suitable."
Madam Fan also realized what was happening and nodded quickly, saying, "That's right. Let's go home quickly and talk about it later."
Everyone agreed.
Fifth Aunt even took the opportunity to pull Qianxue and Qianyan to her side.
He looked them up and down carefully, frowned slightly, and then whispered a warning: "Don't think that I can't control you just because your sister-in-law is involved. Look at you crazy girls, you have no rules. Just wait for me when you get back, I will teach you a lesson."
When Qianxue heard this, she thought of her mother's way of punishing people, and her heart tightened.
She immediately pulled Fifth Aunt's arm and said coquettishly, "Mother, this really can't be blamed on us. It was all Big Brother's request. If you don't believe me, ask Tenth Sister?"
Qianxue said this while desperately winking at Qianyan.
Qianyan understood and nodded repeatedly, not forgetting to drag Fan Jingrui into the water, and said anxiously: "Fifth Aunt, Qianxue is right. We are too familiar with my sister-in-law. In order to avoid being exposed in front of everyone, we can only do what my eldest brother said."
Mentioning Fan Jingrui piqued even Fifth Aunt's interest. A glint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, accompanied by a hint of gloating. "Oh, the truth should be out now, right? And what about the Chu family? What's your sister-in-law's attitude? She's probably pissed off, isn't she?"
"No way, mother, you underestimate my sister-in-law too much. To the Chu family, my sister-in-law is just a stranger."
"Otherwise, my sister-in-law wouldn't have unconditionally helped them detoxify. Mother, please don't say anything nonsense." Qianxue didn't want anyone to say anything bad about Chu Ci, even if that person was her mother. So, with a serious face, she explained eagerly.
Qian Yan, who was standing by, nodded vigorously after Qian Xue said something, and echoed, "That's right, sister-in-law is very kind, Fifth Aunt, please don't misunderstand."
The three of them chatted like this, both true and false, all the way until they got off the carriage, and they didn't stop talking.
Meanwhile, Fourth Aunt Liu, who was not far away, hesitated several times to speak. Her tangled expression made anyone feel uncomfortable.
But everyone in the Fan family knew Liu's behavior.
Therefore, except for the fourth brother Fan Zengzhi who looked distressed, he was afraid that Chu Ci would not give him face and beat him up in the street, so he could only endure it in silence.
The look he gave Qianyan was full of resentment and dissatisfaction, as if Qianyan had done something unforgivable and was also drunk.
If it were before, Qianyan might have chosen to endure it.
But now she would not tolerate it any longer, noticing Fan Zengzhi's malicious gaze.
Qian Yan turned her head without hesitation and gave him a heavy hammer. "Father, what did your daughter do wrong to make you look at me with such hatred?"
As Qianyan's words fell, they instantly attracted the attention of everyone present like thunder.
At this time, Fan Zengzhi had never expected that Qian Yan would expose his shame so suddenly at this time.
Before he could even retract his malicious gaze, he was seen by everyone.
Seeing this, Mr. Fan frowned, sighed heavily, and his chest heaved violently. He was obviously very angry.
However, in the blink of an eye, Mr. Fan made a firm decision: "Later, let Qianyan return to the fifth house! Also, separate the fourth son and Liu!"
After Mr. Fan finished speaking, his eyes were full of disappointment and determination. He didn't even bother to look at Fan Zengzhi. He and Mrs. Fan supported each other and turned to walk into the gate.
That heavy back seemed to carry too much helplessness and heartache.
At this time, Fan Zengzhi and Liu were really scared. Their faces were as pale as paper, and their eyes were full of fear and panic.
Fan Zengzhi opened his mouth, wanting to beg for mercy, his voice trembling: "Dad, you..."
But when he saw his closest third brother slowly shaking his head at him, he suddenly woke up from his dream. It seemed that his family had repeatedly advised him earnestly, but he never took it to heart.
At this moment, Fan Zengzhi regained consciousness briefly and shouted in a trembling voice, "Dad, you can't..."
Before Fan Zengzhi could even utter a single word, the third brother, Fan Zengyi, who had stayed behind, quickly approached him and threatened him in a low voice, "Fourth brother, family disgrace should not be made public! Don't continue your nonsense and make a fool of our Fan family."
As Fan Zengyi spoke, he deliberately glanced at Liu, who was standing beside him. His eyes were filled with clear reproach and disgust. He continued, "Fourth brother, no one will always protect you. It's time for you to grow up and stop acting so recklessly. Think carefully about what you have done over the years. How many mistakes have you made? Don't be so stubborn!"
These words completely exposed Fan Zengzhi's true identity.
All his faults and incompetence were ruthlessly exposed, making him lose face in front of everyone and have nowhere to hide.
At this moment, Fan Zengzhi stood there blankly, his body trembling slightly, as if his spine had been pulled out and he was on the verge of collapsing.
Even his beloved Liu repeatedly called out to him anxiously, her voice tinged with tears: "Master, Master, please say something!"
But he remained dazed and didn't react at all, as if he hadn't heard anything, like a lifeless sculpture.
That's it? When others travel through time, that top-notch relative is like an indestructible cockroach, able to keep on jumping no matter how hard you try.
And Fourth Uncle Fan...
Chu Ci looked down on this Fourth Uncle Fan and couldn't help but complain in his heart: What's the big deal! The two of them were performing a big show at the door, isn't this obviously making people laugh?
Chu Ci waved his hand, and with a clean and neat movement, two strong and sturdy young men quickly jumped out from behind the gatehouse. Without saying a word, they lifted Fan Zengzhi up and strode into the Fan family's house.
Originally, Liu wanted to cry at the top of her lungs and put on a pretentious act to gain sympathy.
Seeing this, he could only grit his teeth, suppress his resentment, and follow closely.
But her distorted face and eyes full of resentment showed her extreme dissatisfaction in her heart.
Seeing this, Chu Ci couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. He turned to look at Fan Jingrui and said with a hint of sarcasm: "It seems that our family really made a mistake. Just look at Liu's exaggerated and contrived acting skills? I don't know how she fooled us before."
It was obvious that Chu Ci had taken to heart every word that his third uncle Fan Zengyi had said before, and at this moment he was full of contempt and disdain for Fan Zengzhi and his wife.
