Honestly, Fu Zhao knew he could not blame Ye Jiu. After all, it was Zhou Tingting who wanted to harm Fu Zhi in the first place. He had asked his men to investigate her death, and they found out that she had brought a knife with her when she snuck out of the hospital that day. Besides that, all that she was talking about on the phone was revenge.

Of course, it went without saying that Fu Zhi was fully capable of handing Zhou Tingting herself. It was just that he was her father, and there were no parents in this world that wanted their kids to take someone else’s life if she had a chance.

Ye Jiu had been a smart person. He knew better than everyone that Fu Zhi would not fall into Zhou Tingting’s plan.

However, he still chose to do it and kill Zhou Tingting.

When Fu Zhao lifted his head to look at Ye Jiu, his eyes were bloodshot as he hissed, “What did you say?”

“I said, you should keep your crocodile tears away.. As long as you stop meddling with my personal matters, I can still play the father-and-son game with you. All in all, you just provided a gene to me. You weren’t there when I needed you, so don’t come telling me what to do now!”

“I’m your father!”

“Oh yeah? Have you ever cared about me? What kind of father are you? Fu Zhao, the person who has no right to say this word in this world is you! Yes, I have an antisocial personality disorder, and yes, I’m the one who brought disgrace to the Fu Family, but don’t you forget why a few of us will leave this country. Fu Zhi doesn’t know about it, but how about you? Do you not know about it too? Ask yourself, Fu Zhao, Are you worthy of being our father?

“All you care about is your company and your reputation. You even agreed to send Fu Zhi to the orphanage in order to please those people up there! You don’t care how much Fu Zhi has suffered in the Zhao or the Lu Families! All of us are nothing but stepping stones in your path in getting wealth and status. When you’ve achieved your goal, you will cast us all out!” Ye Jiu shouted, staring back straight at Fu Zhao. His body was shaking from his anger and his face was livid with rage. Gone was the happy-go-lucky young man.

“When did I ever say that I thought you were a disgrace to my family, and when did I not care about my daughter?” Fu Zhao pointed at Ye Jiu as he stared at the youngest son he loved most. “I sent Fu Zhi away because I want her to have a normal life. I don’t want her to spend the rest of her life with nothing but lifeless machines! I don’t want you to kill people because you’ll get yourself killed if they deem you too dangerous for society! Ye Jiu, you’re different from others. They have been watching you the whole time, so you have to be more careful with what you do and what you say. How can you not understand that?”

“Yes, I don’t understand at all,” Ye Jiu replied, his voice cold, “But don’t worry, I’m no longer one of the Fu Family. Even if I was killed, I won’t bring any disgrace to your family.”

Fu Zhao nearly had a heart attack when he heard what Ye Jiu had said. He was just worried about Ye Jiu, and he did not know why he must be so mean to him.

“A murderer must pay with his life as a debtor pays with money. How can you justifiably say such things to me when you are doing something illegal and disorderly? Also, what do you expect to get from the research of the International Crime Unit? You’re not young anymore, but why are you still so naive?”

“Didn’t you treat me as disposable garbage as well? A stupid and hateful person like Zhou Tingting should not exist in this world. I’d still kill her even if you give me another chance!”

Fu Zhao raised his arm high and aimed at Ye Jiu’s cheek.

“How can you be so stubborn?!”

His hand landed squarely on Ye Jiu’s cheek, but he already started to regret it the moment his hand made contact with Ye Jiu’s face.

His arm was trembling vigorously, but Ye Jiu did not say anything in response. He just stood there as stiff as a ramrod as he stared fixedly at Fu Zhao.

It seemed to Fu Zhao that Ye Jiu was giving him the silent treatment. He did not think that Zhou Tingting deserved it. He just thought that it was nothing to take someone else’s life. He even thought that he did not deserve to be his father.

Whenever Fu Zhao saw other people’s kids when he was going on a business trip, he felt quite proud of himself. After all, his sons and daughters were more successful compared to them.

Although they only lived with him for ten or so years and before departing to Country M, they knew their own minds from a young age, and he did not have to worry about them since they knew what they wanted and what they didn’t want.

It was just that Fu Zhao felt that it was not a good sign when they matured too quickly.

When he applied to take them back to the Fu Family, the Fu Family was not as well-off as it was right now. Sometimes he had to work until very late, and he had very little time to accompany them. However, they had never once complained about it in front of him.

As their father, while he felt guilty for his sons for not being able to spend more time with them, he was very proud of them as well.

Later, as the Fu Corporate’s condition started to become better, he also had more work to do. More often than not he would not come home for ten or so days, and by the time he returned with Fu Zhi, Ye Jiu had already reached the height of his knee when he stood up.

Ye Qi was the calmest among them. Ye San had bipolar and obsessive-compulsive disorder, but Ye Jiu was different. He was indifferent towards life and death, and he would beat anyone up that he did not like.

Honestly, Fu Zhao blamed himself the most. He was the one who brought them home and he was supposed to be the one to guide them properly, but he did not have the time to do it. Then, by the time he realized it, it was already too late.

He thought boys were less sensitive and they were tougher. They did not need so much attention and care. Therefore, when Ye Jiu proposed to move the entire Fu Family to Country M when he was leaving, he rejected him.

It was only now he realized that he was wrong.

It was not Ye Jiu’s fault, but he hit him.

Rather than saying that he was disappointed in Ye Jiu, he was more disappointed in himself.

The palm print on Ye Jiu’s face was obvious. He did not say anything as he set his jaw tightly.

Taking a deep breath, Fu Zhao broke the silence, “Has it never crossed your mind that what will happen to your sister if you do that? How should I explain it to Ye San and the others?”

“I will be fine,” Ye Jiu said nonchalantly, “I can take care of myself.”

“How do you know you’ll be fine? How are you going to take care of yourself? If they learn of your action, they will kill you!

“Ye Jiu, you’re 5 years older than Fu Zhi, and by right, I should start seeking a potential spouse for you so that you can form your own family. If Zhou Tingting did something wrong, you can just give her a good beating, you don’t have to kill her! Yes, you’re right. I care about my corporation, but that’s because, without my business, they will take all of you away from me.”

Ye Jiu kept his head low as he refused to say anything.

Fu Yuan, who was watching a news broadcast in the living room, noticed the commotion in Ye Jiu’s room, and he knocked on the door, “Brother, what are you doing? You should talk to him nicely. You shouldn’t force him and you shouldn’t scold him as well!”

Fu Zhao then replied, “I know what I’m doing, so don’t worry about me. You go back to watch the news. Oh yeah, don’t tell Zhizhi anything about this.”

Fu Yuan was now sending a text message to Fu Zhi. When he heard what Fu Zhao had said, he froze for a moment before replying, “Sure! I promise I won’t tell on you!”

Fu Zhao breathed out a sigh of relief after Fu Yuan had gone away. He turned to Ye Jiu and asked, “I won’t say it again. Do you know how you should behave in the future?”

Ye Jiu nodded. “I’ll make a false alibi before I do anything. The most superb technique often comes from killing two birds with one stone. Perhaps I should try shifting the blame to somebody I don’t like. Of course, I’ll try my best not to keep in touch with you for 10 years after I’ve done everything, so you don’t have to worry about anything.”

Fu Zhao was stunned.

‘Did you even listen to a word I said?!’

Fu Zhao nearly fainted from his exasperation.

After that, Ye Jiu asked, “It’s almost afternoon. Let’s eat first. I’m sure you must be starving right now since you’ve said so many things.”

Fu Zhao pulled his face long and replied, “No! I’m not hungry! Leave me alone!”

“Alright, then. It just so happens that a bowl of rice is not enough for me,” Ye Jiu nodded and said. He put the two bowls of rice and dishes on the tray and began to walk towards the door.

“Since you’re not hungry, I’ll go eat my lunch now. By the way, thanks for the talk.”

Fu Zhao was stunned. He was so fumed with rage that he nearly exploded as Ye Jiu headed out of the room.

“How, how, how… How dare he! I really shouldn’t have brought you home!”

That said, no matter how angry he was with Ye Jiu, he was still going to let him eat since he had just escaped death.

Fu Yuan’s mansion was particularly quiet today although there were two more people in his house right now.

When Ye Jiu came out of his room, the first thing Fu Yuan saw was the palm print on his cheek. He flew into a rage and said, “What? Did he slap you in the face? Madness! Madness! This is child abuse! I was so angry that I was about to call the police and arrest him!”

Ye Jiu then asked, “So what’s stopping you from calling the police?”

“Your father won’t lend me any money anymore if I fall out with him now,” he replied.

‘Alright. I got it.’

After Ye Jiu had finished his lunch, he took his jacket and headed outside.

Fu Yuan hastily followed after him and asked, “When will you be back?”

In the evening, Fu Zhi went to Fu Yuan’s mansion after she assured Xu Wei that Ye Jiu was fine.

When she was there, Fu Zhao was still sitting inside the bedroom. He put his knees together and he rested his hands on his knees, looking just like a successful businessman during a negotiation.

Fu Yuan had told Fu Zhi everything. In the end, he said, “Other than the “I’m Lawyer” show, I’ve never seen such an intense altercation before.”

Fu Zhi had a basic grasp of the whole story. She heated up the remaining food on the table and walked towards the room. She was afraid that Fu Yuan was crying, so she knocked on the door before going in.

Fu Zhao was both hungry and angry right now. When he heard someone knocking on his door, he shouted, “You stupid… stupidly beautiful girl. What are you doing here?”

Fu Zhi was speechless. She knew her father must be hungry right now, so she handed the food to him.

“Let’s eat first, dad.”

Fu Zhao nodded. He took the chopsticks and began wolfing down the food. It should have been a happy moment, but when he thought about the thing Ye Jiu said to him, his eyes turned red around the rims as he said, “Zhizhi, do you think I failed as a father?”

When he was young, he brought them back, but he was busy with his work and he did not give them enough company. Later, when his sons told him about the defect in their genes and asked him to let go of his company to follow them to receive treatment abroad, he rejected them without any hesitation.

He had always thought that he needed to earn a lot of money first if he wanted to save his sons.

However, all that Ye Jiu had ever wanted was his company. He did not care about how rich he was at all.

Ye Jiu thought he was disappointed in him, but he wanted to tell Ye Jiu that he had always felt Ye Jiu was his pride. There were no parents who did not love their children, but he did not know what was going on. The meaning of the sentence changed when it came out of his mouth, and the misunderstanding between them only got deeper and deeper.

He regretted hitting Ye Jiu in his cheek.

“No, dad. You’re good enough,” Fu Zhi said.

She understood what the man before her had gone through to start his business from scratch in order to give his sons and daughters the best life.

She said, “I know everything, dad. Ye Jiu has been having poor health since he’s a kid. I know that you’ve asked Sun Sanzhen before if he would be able to live longer if you were to give your heart to him. You try your best to expand the Fu Corporation, and you’ve donated a lot of money on our names. The only problem between you and Ye Jiu is lack of communication.”

In order to solve the misunderstanding, one had to step forward first.

Fu Zhao said, “If I agreed to bring him and you to Country M, would everything be different now?”

“The past is in the past, dad. You’ve already tried your best to give us everything you could,” Fu Zhi replied, “You don’t have to be so hard on yourself. Go and have some rest. I’ll talk to Ye Jiu later.”

“I can’t sleep. He doesn’t even want to eat at the same table as me. He’s even more vicious than my first girlfriend who said that I’m a poor wretch! His sinister smile will pop up in my head whenever I close my eyes!”

Fu Zhi said, “Whenever he closes his eyes, all that in his head is the slap you gave him just now.”

Fu Zhao was speechless.
