Chapter 142: Abjection (2)
The more Xu Qing looked at Xu Zihan, the angrier he became. Looking at his father’s grim face, Xu Zihan shrunk his neck subconsciously.
Xu Qing remembered that relying on his relationship with Zheng Xuan, his son Xu Zihan even threw his weight around about his thing and even stopped him marrying a concubine.
“I heard that the moment Zheng Xuan came out of the Realm, you started complaining for his bad ranking and not working hard, right? Are you nuts? Think about your status! He is a general’s grandson. Do you think he needs to take it from you?” sulked Xu Qing.
Xiao Mei looked at Xu Zihan, covering her mouth, wearing that unbelieving expression. She knew her son was a bit self-abused. But she never expected her son to be so bold. He even criticized Zheng Xuan in public!
Xu Zihan’s face was burning hot. How did he know that things would have ended up like this? He had often complained this and that about Zheng Xuan before! But Zheng Xuan never said a word and took it all from him.
Recalling what he had done before, Xu Zihan also felt very regretted now.
“I also didn’t expect this! But now is not the time to criticize me! You asked me to pretend to be Xu Ziyu. And in these years, you extorted a lot using my relationship with Zheng Xuan. And now you put all the blame on me. Isn’t it unfair?” reasoned Xu Zihan.
On hearing Xu Zihan’s quibbling, Xu Qing gave him another hard slap in the face. Xu Zihan covered his mouth, wearing an extreme resentful expression.
Seeing her son getting slapped, Xiao Mei dare not stop it. She only hated the killer was too irresponsible and failed to kiss that son of a bitch!
Xiao Mei hated the killer, so did Xu Qing. Now zheng Xuan knew the truth, he would put the blame on the whole Xu Faimily. Without Zheng Xuan moving a finger of his, those who wanted to suck up to him could already beat them down into the dust.
Xu Qing thought to himself, “If I hadn’t asked Xu Zihan to be pretend to be Xu Ziyu but got Xu Ziyu back instead, given Xu Ziyu’s gentle characters, he would not blame me too much. And I don’t have to be living in guilty all these years.”
Looking at Xiao Mei, Xu Qing had made up his mind in his heart. Actually he had heard a word or two that Xiao Mei sent someone to assassinate Xu Ziyu. But since Xu Ziyu was not his favored son, he just turned a deaf ear and let it go. Once Zheng Xuan made things clear and found the truth, he would put all the blame on Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei also noticed Xu Qing’s strange looks, she suddenly remembered something, “Xu Qing, are you trying to take me as the scapegoat to kiss up to Zheng Xuan?”
Xu Qing glared at Xiao Mei, “You call yourself as the scapegoat? Are you saying you are out of this?”
Xiao Mei couldn’t believe her ears, “Xu Qing, you’re gonna die in your boots!”
Looking at Xiao Mei, Xu Qing heaved a heavy sigh, “Someone! Ground the madam and the young master!”
Xiao Mei glared at Xu Qing walking away, face twisted! Tens of years’ relationship as husband and wife! It turned out to be so fragile when disaster came!
Xu Zihan was shocked. “Father, what are you doing?”
Before Zu Zihan could react, the two were locked up
Xu Zihan sat in the chair. He had pictured the worst scenario was him breaking up with Zheng Xuan., but he never expected his father would give up on him.
In the palace
“Feiyu!” Lou Jing walked toward Lin Feiyu.
“Princess Jing.” Called Lin Feiyu softly.
Lou Jing smiled at Lin Feiyu and said, “I heard about Zheng Xuan and Xu Zihan! You are close to Zihan. Do you know what’s happened between them?”
Lin Feiyu shrugged his shoulders, “I am not very clear. After Zheng Xuan came out, he fell out with Xu ZIhan. If it hadn’t been the teacher mediating, maybe Zheng Xuan would really have strangled Xu Zihan to death. Judging from their conversation, it seems that Xu Zihan has pretended to be the guy ZHeng Xuan loves.”
Lin Feiyu himself was always in grim conditions. Now seeing that Xu Zihan fell even deeper than him, he suddenly felt kind balanced, even gloating in his heart.
Lou Jing squinted, saying dismissively, “I told you something is not right of this Xu Zihan. He is a total loser, but Zheng Xuan just had his head over heels for him. So it turns out he is a liar!”
About Xu Zihan, Lou Jing had always had a word of him, low status, ill-tempered. Before in order to rope in Zheng Xuan, they had to kiss Xu Zihan’s ass. But now it seemed that they had flogged a dead horse.
Lin Feiyu shook his head and said, “I didn’t think Xu Zihan was relying on deception tohook up with Zheng Xuan.”
Lou Jing then said with a serious face, “Forget about Xu Zihan. Our first priority is to make clear who is the one Zheng Xuan really fancies. I have asked those in the jungle. They said the one Zheng Xuan loves should be along the top 100. So we have to rope in that person, in case Lou Yu takes the initiative.”
Lin Feiyu nodded, “I got it.” He had also got Zheng Xuan’s things investigated. His intuition told him that person should be Mo Yi by Mo Fei’s side. If that was the case, things would be much worse to them.
Lou Jing looks at Lin Feiyu, suddenly said, “Lou Yu has promoted to a level six star magician.”
Lin Feiyu fell in a daze first and then nodded, “I know.”
Lou Jing stared at Lin Feiyu and asked, “Do you regret it?”
Lin feiyu shook his head firmly. No one knew whether he was trying to convince himself or Lou Jing, he just spat out one word, “No!”
Lou jing smiled and nodded, thought to herself, “You wish!”
