"Look, Nan Xiao broke my leg. I'll never go to a casino again. Otherwise... I'll have Nan Xiao break my other leg too!"
Jiang Yilai sensed something was wrong.
Why does he sound like he's complaining? It's as if Fu Nanxiao holds the power of life and death over him.
Moreover, his leg was broken because he was the mastermind behind the kidnapping, which has nothing to do with his gambling.
Fu Nanxiao was merely retaliating in kind, using violence to control violence.
Jiang Yilai silently despised Fu Jiang in her heart.
But she felt a strange fear of Old Master Fu and dared not speak rashly.
Fu Nanxiao listened to Fu Jiang's unreasonable ramblings with a cold expression.
Grandpa Fu's expression remained unchanged.
He looked at Fu Jiang and nodded: "If there is a next time, I won't need anyone else, I will personally have your two legs removed."
His tone was calm, yet it sent chills down one's spine.
Fu Jiang shuddered and repeatedly assured that it wouldn't happen again.
"Get up."
Fu Jiang felt as if he had been granted a pardon. Fu Junhao, who was standing nearby and didn't dare to breathe, quickly helped him up. Both father and son had a layer of cold sweat on their foreheads.
After standing up, Fu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.
With Grandpa Fu's attitude, the matter is considered closed.
This means he agreed to let Grandma Fu pay off his debts, and his company wouldn't have to be seized!
Fu Jiang and Fu Junhao exchanged a glance, both seeing joy in each other's eyes.
Grandpa Fu then looked at Fu Junhao.
Fu Junhao hurriedly sat down on the edge of the bed and respectfully answered Old Master Fu's questions.
He told Grandpa Fu about having a child as if he were showing off a treasure.
Grandpa Fu said it was good.
The two chatted for a few minutes, and they really seemed like a grandfather and grandson enjoying family time together.
Jiang Yilai, however, felt very uncomfortable watching.
She realized that Old Master Fu was deliberately ignoring Fu Nanxiao.
She felt a little uneasy, but when she turned to look at Fu Nanxiao, he was calm and composed, his expression unwavering, showing no sign of tension or unease, nor the obsequiousness of Fu Jiang and his son.
Jiang Yilai's unease vanished instantly.
She followed Fu Nanxiao's example, relaxed her posture, and quietly watched Fu Junhao's performance.
Old Master Fu's brow twitched almost imperceptibly.
He spoke a few more words to Fu Junhao before finally turning his gaze to Fu Nanxiao.
Fu Nanxiao said without changing his expression, "Grandpa, you must be tired today. Why don't you get some rest? I'll come see you again tomorrow."
"Tired?" Old Master Fu looked at him intently. "The physical fatigue is nothing compared to the mental exhaustion I feel when I hear my family members killing each other."
His opening remarks clearly indicated that he wanted to investigate the matter of Fu Jiang and Fu Nanxiao's legs being broken.
The old master Fu’s eyes revealed a sense of pressure: “Nan Xiao, I know you are ruthless, but this time you used such methods on the people of our Fu family. You have to give me an explanation.”
"There's nothing to explain," Fu Nanxiao said calmly. "They made people they shouldn't have, and I just made them pay a small price."
"Someone who shouldn't have been touched?"
A glint of light flashed in Old Master Fu's eyes. He repeated the sentence and finally looked at Jiang Yilai.
His gaze was calm, but when it fell on Jiang Yilai, it felt as if it weighed a ton.
Jiang Yilai's heart sank suddenly.
She opened her mouth, about to call out "Grandpa," when she heard Fu Jiang's aggrieved voice: "Dad, I admit I was confused for a moment, but I just wanted to scare my niece-in-law."
