Chapter 669 Two People's Wishes (22)
Liu Jiayi was a classic example of someone who was both stupid and wicked. She never considered the consequences that hiring thugs to cause trouble at a woman's wedding ceremony would have on the woman and her family.
If it weren't for Xiong Bufan today, Liu Jiayu would at best be kicked out of the Zheng family and have the marriage denied, and at worst be drowned in a pig cage or directly married off to a hoodlum.
The Liu family, including Liu Jiayi and the married women, will all be implicated because of this incident.
That evening, Xiong Bufan visited Liu Jiayi's room again.
This time, however, Liu Jiayi wasn't there, so Xiong Bufan continued searching by following the scent.
Master Liu was no fool. He guessed that Liu Jiayi was behind today's events, but since she was his own daughter and her mother was very protective of her, he couldn't punish her severely. He could only lock her up in the ancestral hall.
Liu Jiayi sat on a palm-leaf fan, cursing Liu Jiayu for her good luck, and also scolding Xiong Bufan for meddling in other people's business today... In Liu Jiayi's eyes, there were no good people around, and even the maid who had taken care of her since childhood was annoying because she hadn't handled things properly and had been caught red-handed.
At this moment, Xiong Bufan jumped down from the top of the ancestral hall and landed directly in front of Liu Jiayi.
Liu Jiayi was startled. Judging from his figure, she recognized Xiong Bufan as the person who had hurt her last time. She quickly cried out, "Help! Someone, come quick!"
Xiong Bufan stood with his arms crossed, watching Liu Jiayi. "Go ahead and scream. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will save you."
Everyone outside was knocked unconscious by Xiong Bufan, including Liu's parents.
Liu Jiayi shouted for a long time, but apart from her throat being hoarse, she didn't bring anything else.
Xiong Bufan looked at her as if she were a joke, then yawned, "Are you done shouting?"
"Did Liu Jiayu send you?"
Xiong Bufan tilted his head, not understanding Liu Jiayi's thought process, but still slapped her, saying, "I warned you before,"
What are you warning me about?
Xiong Bufan slapped him again, "Playing dumb won't work."
Liu Jiayi was certain that the woman in front of her was definitely not someone sent by Liu Jiayu, because she was talking about things she herself didn't know.
Seeing that Liu Jiayi was a little dazed after he hit her, Xiong Bufan threw her to the ground forcefully, saying, "I won't give you another chance."
That's what he said, but Xiong Bufan hadn't figured out how to handle it yet.
Liu Jiayi was still screaming when Xiong Bufan kicked her aside and then used candle wax from the ancestral hall to write a line of words on the ground.
With so little candle wax, Xiong Bufan had to keep searching for new candles and then dripping wax onto the ground to write.
Halfway through writing, Xiong Bufan realized he had forgotten how to write a character, and could only angrily throw the candle aside.
Liu Jiayi woke up once during this period, but was knocked unconscious again by Xiong Bufan, who was afraid that she would disturb him and make harsh remarks.
Kong Kong watched as Xiong Bufan fussed over writing with candle wax until dawn, only to find that he had only uttered half of his harsh words, leaving the ancestral hall in a mess, with candles crushed and lying on the ground. Kong Kong then advised, "Bufan, why don't you go back first?"
"Okay." After saying that, Xiong Bufan flew away from the ancestral hall.
Liu Jiayi was still lying not far away, her face swollen like a pig's head.
Xiong Bufan's visit this time was mostly intimidating; he didn't cause much real harm.
Cui Guohong cried out in the woodshed for a whole day and night. No one brought him water or food, so he just endured it all.
Li Han is kind-hearted, but she won't fight Xiong Bufan because she's afraid of getting beaten up.
Xiong Bufan went to sleep as soon as he got back from the Liu family's house, and didn't pay any attention to Cui Guohong.
Li Han got so busy that she forgot about the incident and forgot to find someone to look after him.
Those working outside could hear the sounds coming from the woodshed growing fainter and fainter, and the voices becoming increasingly lifeless.
When Li Han went to see Cui Guohong again, he was starving and on the verge of death. His lips were cracked and he was leaning against the door, constantly calling out, "Food, give me food."
Li Han dared not release the person, so he could only send someone to bring some rice porridge.
This is absolutely the best good deed she can do; there's nothing else she can do.
Mei Lan Zhu Ju was initially wary of Li Han's interest in Cui Guohong, but after seeing Cui Guohong, they felt that Xiong Bufan and his group were making an example of him.
Fortunately, they were obedient at the beginning, otherwise they would have been the ones starved and abused.
Having learned that Cui Guohong would be brought over by Xiong Bufan to entertain guests in a while, Mei Lan Zhu Ju all kept their distance to avoid any awkwardness when they met again.
Li Han was deliberately keeping Cui Guohong's matter a secret from Mei Lanzhu Ju, but unfortunately, they had specially assigned people to keep an eye on Li Han.
After Mei realized that Cui Guohong posed no threat, she began to focus her attention on Xiong Bufan.
Based on the results of previous investigations, their young master is greedy, has a big appetite, and it is unknown whether he is lecherous, but he is extremely violent and unreasonable. If you really want to get close to him, you can only cater to his preferences and slowly and gradually win him over.
The young master had listened to and watched many operas in the building, but no young master had ever served him personally.
Therefore, the young master is an extremely difficult person to win over.
Xiong Bufan was watching the performance on stage from his private room when a maid suddenly announced, "Young Master, Young Master Mei requests an audience."
"Let him come."
"Yes."
A short while later, Mei brought a plate of pastries to Xiong Bufan. "Young Master, I've made some pastries for you. I hope you won't find them offensive."
Xiong Bufan took the pastry in his hand, gently put one in his mouth, and said, "Hmm, I accept your kind offer. You may leave now."
"Yes."
Mei was not surprised by Xiong Bufan's reaction, but this was just the beginning. He believed that he would be able to win over this young master in less than a month.
In the following days, whenever Xiong Bufan watched a performance at Xiaoyao Garden, Mei would bring him snacks.
Sometimes, when Xiong Bufan stayed at home, Mei would have someone deliver things to him.
Besides snacks, Mei would also perform her newly composed pieces for Xiong Bufan.
It can be said that they used every trick in the book on Xiong Bufan.
Xiong Bufan always felt that Mei had ill intentions, but since he had taken so many things from him, he couldn't just hit her directly. So he could only ignore her actions and accept that she was bringing him food.
Food delivered to your door for free is never a bad thing.
Cui Guohong has officially started receiving guests, but Mei hasn't won over Xiong Bufan yet. Xiong Bufan always tells him to leave the food and not to stay in the room for too long.
Mei didn't get any benefits in the past month, and she was exhausted like a dog.
To prevent things from going wrong, Mei kept her approach to Xiong Bufan a secret from Li Han, fearing that Li Han would become jealous and stop giving her any benefits.
But Li Han manages the entire Xiaoyao Garden, so even if Mei tries to keep it a secret, she will eventually find out.
For Li Han, Mei's actions were a betrayal, and the second one at that.
Therefore, Li Han was furious with Mei's behavior and made up his mind that no matter what Mei said, he would not forgive her this time.
