Chapter 406: Chapter 406: All Troubles

Su Cheng usually appears shy, but sometimes he’s quite good at fighting for himself.

For example, this time, Bai Qian was only asking politely where he lived, and he took the initiative to ask if he could visit her home, since everyone knows that the Bai family certainly wouldn’t lack rooms.

It was also Su Cheng’s luck that recently Bai Wei had been complaining in front of them about how poorly He Xing treated Fu Han, saying how well Su Cheng treated Fu Han. As a result, Fu Xingbo and Bai Qian had a fairly good impression of Su Cheng and agreed to let Su Cheng stay at the Fu Family home.

After Ji Liangchuan found out about this, although he didn’t say anything openly, he was extremely jealous inside.

These past few days, Ji Liangchuan and Su Cheng spent most of their time in Fu Han’s ward. Their conflict could be said to be intensifying by the day, barely exchanging a few words before starting to argue.

Fu Han was completely clueless about the conflict between the two of them, and she also didn’t know how to resolve it. Often listening until her ears almost formed calluses, she ended up issuing an eviction order.

So, usually when they were together, they could only stay for about an hour or so before being kicked out, like today spending several hours together was probably their limit, which is why they couldn’t help but start bickering after saying just a few words.

Fu Xingbo and Bai Qian had grown accustomed to this situation; they just sat shoulder to shoulder, enjoying the delicious egg tarts together.

Suddenly, Bai Qian’s cell phone rang. She took it out and exclaimed with some surprise, "Bai Wei is actually still awake at this hour!"

Fu Xingbo glanced sideways, calmly asking, "What’s she looking for you for? It wouldn’t be about Xiaohan’s surgery again, would it?"

"Exactly," Bai Qian said, nodding and handing her phone to Fu Xingbo, "Look, I don’t know what’s gotten into this girl today, she has been messaging me non-stop. Just look at how many times she’s asked already, before and after."

Fu Xingbo extended two fair fingers and scrolled up, and sure enough, it was all messages from Bai Wei inquiring about Fu Han’s surgery.

He absentmindedly pushed up the glasses on his nose, his face showing a faint surprise, "I feel like I’m starting not to recognize Bai Wei anymore. Before, she wouldn’t message us for ten days or even half a month."

"Exactly!" Bai Qian immediately agreed, looking as if she couldn’t wait to raise both hands and clap, "We’ve been rather laissez-faire with Bai Wei since we were kids, plus she entered the Entertainment Circle just after reaching adulthood, at the height of her rebellious phase. Knowing we disagreed, she always avoided contacting us, afraid we would scold her, and now she just can’t change this habit."

The couple sighed together, and in doing so, they forgot to reply to "Bai Wei’s" messages. Bai Wei’s urging came again, "Has Xiaohan’s surgery finished? What’s the situation now?"

The cell phone was in Fu Xingbo’s hands. He slightly moved his eyelids, glanced at the message, and chuckled, "If this wasn’t Bai Wei’s number, I’d have thought the person on the other end was He Xing."

Hearing this, Bai Qian couldn’t help but nod, "Yes, I also always feel that the messages from Bai Wei’s phone are different from usual, as if they were sent by a different person."

As the two discussed, they replied to Bai Wei, "The surgery hasn’t finished yet, it’s late, no need for you to wait, go to sleep."

In less than a minute, no, about ten seconds or so, Bai Wei’s reply came: "No need, I’m not sleepy, let me know immediately if there’s news about Xiaohan."

Fu Xingbo and Bai Qian looked at each other, and finally, Bai Qian tugged at the corner of her mouth and chuckled awkwardly, "Bai Wei is so concerned about Xiaohan’s matters, this... this is a good thing."

On the opposite side, Su Cheng and Ji Liangchuan heard them discussing Bai Wei, neither of them interested, so they let it go in one ear and out the other.

As time ticked on, Su Cheng’s heart grew more and more anxious, until he felt cold sweat on his brow and nose. He couldn’t sit still any longer and stood up to head towards the restroom, thinking of washing his face with cold water to calm down.

But as soon as he had stepped in, Ji Liangchuan followed right behind.

Their eyes met unexpectedly in the mirror above the washbasin, each detecting clear hostility in the other’s gaze, but neither one spoke first.

This was a contest, a silent contest, and each was well aware that whoever spoke first would lose the upper hand.

A few minutes passed, and Ji Liangchuan’s eyes began to dry out. He unconsciously turned his head away, and by the time he realized something was wrong, he had already seen the undisguised smugness in Su Cheng’s eyes.

Ji Liangchuan was furious, his beautiful peach blossom eyes roiling with tumultuous waves, "Su Cheng, people need face, and trees need bark. Fu Han has already rejected you so many times, why do you still shamelessly pursue her?"

Someone came out from a cubicle and was washing their hands there, looking puzzled at the two men, probably thinking that neither looked easy to provoke. They quickly washed their hands and hurried off.

Su Cheng cupped some water to wash his face, feeling much fresher. He carelessly wiped the water from his face and turned to look at Ji Liangchuan, "May I ask on what grounds are you saying these things to me?"

That question was like a lit fuse, and indeed a burning one, successfully igniting the balloon-sized rage in Ji Liangchuan’s chest.

He glared at Su Cheng furiously, "It doesn’t matter on what grounds I speak to you. What matters is that you stop clinging to Fu Han like a plaster. You’re only causing her trouble."

With a slight curve of his lips, Su Cheng replied not with anger but a smile, "Trouble? I think you’re the one giving her more trouble, given it seems Fu Han prefers talking to me."

For the first time in his life, Ji Liangchuan found himself trembling with anger because of another man, yet he had no way to deal with him.

And the worst part was, before he could even think of a rebuttal, Su Cheng spoke again, "Ji Liangchuan, I’ve heard you’ve been He Xing’s brother for many years. You’ve followed Fu Han all this way, is it to take care of her on behalf of He Xing?"

This touched exactly on Ji Liangchuan’s sore spot. They say one shouldn’t covet a friend’s wife, and even if Fu Han looked identical to Taozi, Ji Liangchuan shouldn’t have any entanglement with her.

A blood-like flush appeared on Ji Liangchuan’s face, making it seem as if his head was so engorged with blood it might explode at any moment, while the twitching veins on his forehead were as terrifying as a wriggling, rugged snake.

Without exaggeration, at that moment, Ji Liangchuan resembled a demon that had crawled up from hell. He watched Su Cheng with a sinister gaze and said word by word, "What does it matter if I’m friends with He Xing? I like Fu Han, and I don’t think being He Xing’s friend deprives me of the right to pursue her. It doesn’t matter if they’re not married yet, even if they were, I still have the right to like someone."
