Hearing Su Gangcheng’s relentless pleading, Su Baihe began to feel a sense of guilt. After all, perhaps her brother had truly grown over the years, and she shouldn’t always view him with suspicion.
Moreover, she did bear some responsibility for the destruction of the expensive jade bracelets. If she hadn’t been so hesitant earlier, this whole mess might have been avoided.
After much internal debate, Su Baihe finally pulled out a bank card from her bag and handed it over.
“Gangcheng, this is almost all the savings I’ve accumulated over my lifetime. It’s only 200,000 yuan. You must remember to pay me back!”
Su Gangcheng took the bank card, unable to suppress a slight smile, but quickly reverted to a pitiful expression.
“What? Only 200,000 yuan? That’s… clearly far from enough…”
As Su Gangcheng muttered, he kept glancing at Xu Fei, unaware that his little scheme had already been seen through.
“It’s fine. No matter how much is left, I’ll cover the rest. Will that work?”
Xu Fei spoke calmly, pulling out his own bank card from his pocket, his expression composed.
Seeing that things had finally reached this point, Su Gangcheng couldn’t help but smile.
“Don’t worry, I’m not greedy. Once I pay Brother Zhuang back, I’ll return the money to you right away…”
“You mean you’re planning to run off with that so-called Brother Zhuang, right?”
Before Su Gangcheng could even warm the bank card in his hand, Xu Fei snatched it back, exposing his deceit in the process.
“Hey! What do you mean by that, nephew-in-law? We just agreed…”
“Agreed on what?”
“You said you’d cover the rest, didn’t you?”
Xu Fei smiled faintly, but his expression was icy.
“I might not have made myself clear earlier. What I’m covering isn’t the money—it’s the lack of discipline and lessons you’ve missed over the years!”
“What are you talking about?”
Before Su Gangcheng could react, Xu Fei raised his hand and slapped him. With just a light flick, Su Gangcheng was sent flying across the room.
“You punk! How dare you hit someone!”
Seeing this, the bald, gold-chain-wearing Brother Zhuang naturally couldn’t let it slide.
This whole scheme was supposed to be a setup between him and Su Gangcheng to swindle money from Xu Fei. There was no way they could let him turn the tables on them.
So, Brother Zhuang roared and charged at Xu Fei.
In terms of size, Brother Zhuang was easily two or three times larger than Xu Fei. Wang Zhixian, watching from the side, was so worried that she covered her eyes, afraid to see what would happen next.
However, in the next second, something completely unexpected occurred. As Brother Zhuang charged at him, Xu Fei calmly raised his hand and delivered another slap, sending the burly man tumbling to the ground.
“Huh? What’s going on, boss?”
The commotion in the room had attracted attention from next door. A group of men, who appeared to be Brother Zhuang’s lackeys, rushed in.
“Damn it! What are you standing around for? Can’t you see I’ve been beaten like this? Get him!”
