Chapter 141: After Modification: Chapter 141 Bi Family

"My poor child!"

In the hospital, Bi Wu’s mother, Wang Caiyun, looked at Bi Wu, who was lying on the hospital bed getting an IV, and couldn’t help but exclaim. She rushed to the bed and started crying loudly.

Bi Qingzhi’s already grim face turned even darker as he scolded Wang Caiyun, "What are you crying and wailing about? Xiao Wu isn’t dead. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?"

"What the hell are you saying, Bi Qingzhi!" Wang Caiyun glared fiercely at Bi Qingzhi, "Will you only be satisfied if Xiao Wu is dead? He’s a piece of my flesh! If you’re not worried, I am! If I’m embarrassing you, then get out! Stay outside where you won’t be embarrassed!"

"Haven’t you caused enough trouble yet! You..."

"Have you two argued enough?" A sharp voice cut through Bi Qingzhi’s roar. Bi Jiao pushed open the door, looked at her parents who were caught up in a heated argument, then glanced at Bi Wu lying on the hospital bed, ignoring them. Bi Jiao took a deep breath, "If you want to argue, do it outside. This is a hospital room, a place for recovery."

"Jiao Jiao, you’re back," Wang Caiyun, upon seeing Bi Jiao, ignored Bi Qingzhi and hurriedly stood up, pulling Bi Jiao over. "So, did you manage to borrow the money?"

"Borrow what money," Bi Jiao sighed softly, "Ever since Dad’s factory ran into trouble, his so-called friends shut their doors to us. Now they know Dad’s in debt and Xiao Wu’s in the hospital, they avoid us even more. How could they possibly lend us money?"

"Oh heavens, what is this all about! Who exactly have we offended!" Wang Caiyun felt the world darkening around her eyes, "We still have to pay Xiao Wu’s medical bills, the mortgage, and the compensation loans!

The more she spoke, the more bleak Wang Caiyun felt about the family’s future. She turned to Bi Qingzhi standing by the side and started cursing, "Bi Qingzhi, find a way immediately! You spend all your time drinking and socializing, indulging in vices. Where is the money? Where’s the money?! What about those good-for-nothing friends and mistresses? Get them to spit out the money they took from you!"

"Wang Caiyun, what nonsense are you spouting?" Bi Qingzhi didn’t expect Wang Caiyun to know about his antics over the years, let alone expose him in front of the kids. Enraged, he shouted, "Have you been spying on me?"

"I don’t have the time to spy on you," Wang Caiyun sneered, "Count the days you actually came home to sleep over the past few months. Every time you came back, you reeked of alcohol and perfume, and worst of all, you even had lipstick marks on you."

"Hmph, I didn’t care because you were bringing money home every month. I let you fool around. The typical drama of mistresses causing a scene didn’t concern me, but don’t push it."

"Mom! Dad!" Bi Jiao intuitively felt that their conversation was about to get even worse. She frowned and shouted, "Can you two be mindful of the situation? This isn’t home!"

Bi Qingzhi forcibly swallowed his anger and turned to look at Bi Wu, who lay on the bed, covered in injuries and exuding indifference. His tone softened, "Xiao Wu, tell Dad. Who hit you? I’ll make sure they pay."

"Who?" Bi Wu recalled what the attackers had said, and laughed coldly, "It was my buddies. They couldn’t bully Bi Xia, so ended up in the hospital with medical bills they couldn’t pay. They came to me for money, but I didn’t have any. So, they turned their anger on me."

Saying this, Bi Wu looked at Bi Qingzhi mockingly, "Dad, we really are father and son; neither of us has any true friends. Even if we had money, it’d be no use. From beginning to end, I can’t compare to that bastard Bi Xia."

"Bi Xia!" Wang Caiyun’s eyes widened, "This matter involves Bi Xia too?!"

Replay of Bi Xia’s disdain and indifference towards him flitted through Bi Wu’s mind. He then seemed to see people standing behind Bi Xia, wholeheartedly protecting him. Moreover, all the family’s troubles began after he confronted Bi Xia. How could it have nothing to do with Bi Xia!

Feeling increasingly bitter, Bi Wu gritted his teeth at Wang Caiyun’s words, "Yes, it’s related, very much so!"

"Bi Xia! That little bastard! He doesn’t even have Dad’s things, yet he surpasses me in everything!"

"He’s the one who got them to beat me up!"

Bi Jiao instantly realized this was bad. It clearly had nothing to do with Bi Xia, yet Bi Wu dragged Bi Xia into it, and upon seeing her parents’ extreme hatred towards Bi Xia, she found it laughable how her family had lost touch with reality.

"You all are truly... too unreasonable!"

The young man lounged comfortably in the study space, watching the quarrel through the hacked surveillance camera. He clicked his tongue softly, "This really is like a drama. Am I collateral damage?"

He stroked his chin, his eyes landing on Bi Jiao, "Who would have thought there’d be someone good in the Bi Family..."
