When Song Kai heard that Zhu Fan was in a car accident, the first thought he had was that Jiang Jingchen was behind it.
He got into his car to go to the hospital. He called Jiang Jingchen and asked if he had done anything to Zhu Fan.
Jiang Jingchen chuckled. âYou think that Iâll create just a car accident when 1 want to get even with someone? Song Kai, am I that kind in your opinion?â
âIt wasnât you?â
âHey, donât slander me without any evidence. Thatâs not the behavior Iâd expect from my supposed collaborator.â
âBut since this stemmed from your concern for your roommate, Iâll tell you that Zhu Fanâs car accident was caused by his drunk driving.â
Song Kai was stunned for a few seconds. After he heard Jiang Jingchen hang up, he rushed to the hospital and saw Zhu Fan with bandages on his head.
He walked closer and asked, âZhu Fan, did you drink and drive?â
Before Zhu Fan could say anything, the woman next to him scolded, âWhat drink and drive? My son was in a bad mood, so he drank a little. It was someone else who ran into my son. I wonât let this matter rest.â
Song Kai had met Zhu Fanâs mother before. She was a gentle person but the woman in front of him now looked familiar but more ferocious.
âAre you badly injured?â
Zhu Fan waved his hand and shook his head weakly. âIâm okay. 1 just feel a little dizzy. Iâll be fine after a couple of daysâ rest.â
Song Kai looked at Zhu Fanâs bandaged wrist and asked, âWhy were you in a bad mood? What happened?â
Mrs. Zhu laughed coldly. âItâs all because that unchaste girl wanted to break up with my son. Sheâs already had her first kiss, yet she dared to seduce my son.â âThat filthy girl! If she hasnât upset my son, my son wouldnât have gotten into a car accident.â
âSong Kai, never introduce that kind of woman to Zhu Fan in the future. My Zhu Fan is so outstanding. He must marry a noble and chaste woman.â
Song Kai knew that the Zhu family was particular about these things, but he didnât expect them to be so particular.
Zhu Fan was a little annoyed. âMom, stop talking. You are making me dizzy.â
âOkay, okay, Fanfan, Iâll stop. Rest well. Sheâs just a filthy girl. Donât be sad. When youâre better, 1â11 find you a few women to choose from. All of them will be pure and beautiful.â
Song Kai chuckled and Mrs. Zhu frowned. âSong Kai, what are you laughing about?â
Song Kai looked at Zhu Fan and said, âYou like chaste women, why didnât you say so earlier?â
Zhu Fan asked in exasperation, âDonât you want your girlfriend to be clean, pure, and cute? She didnât just lose her first kiss; she made out with another man in public at the hot spring hotel. I feel disgusted just by looking at that kind of woman.â
Song Kai did not know much about Ruan Qiâs love life, but a woman who was Tang Beibeiâs friend couldnât be that bad a person.
Most adults nowadays would have had one or two relationships before they settled down. Why should Zhu Fan expect his girlfriend to be clean, pure, and cute?
âIs a chaste woman dirty after sheâs been touched by you?â Song Kai asked.
Zhu Fan got upset. âSong Kai, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that Iâm dirty?â
Song Kai didnât like to make enemies, so he always greeted people with a smile. But Zhu Fan had tampered with Jiang Jingchenâs car and injured Ruan Qi and Tang Beibei.
And now he was complaining that Ruan Qi was dirty and not worthy of him?
Song Kai could only accept the fact that he had been blind to not see the scum of the earth that was his roommate.
âWhatever.â
The Zhu family wanted a chaste daughter-in-law. It had nothing to do with him, so it was pointless for him to say more.
He turned to leave, but Zhu Fan stopped him. âSong Kai, do you know what kind of woman Ruan Qi is when you introduced her to me? I wonât blame you for being deceived by her appearance. Weâre still good friends, right?â
Song Kai laughed in exasperation. âIâve been unlucky since young. Itâs better if you donât be good friends with me. Letâs not hang out anymore.â
Zhu Fan frowned and asked unhappily, âYou! What do you mean by that? Donât tell me sheâs also seduced you and had intimate contact with you?â
In Zhu Fanâs heart, Song Kai was nice, always smiling and reliable.
In their dormitory, the two of them were the closest. They played basketball, ate, and studied together every day. He cherished Song Kai as a friend.
Although Song Kai was the one who introduced that dirty woman to him, he felt that Song Kai might have been bewitched by that womanâs appearance.
But when he considered the possibility that Ruan Qi might have had a relationship with Song Kai before she pursued him, he felt his stomach turn as if he had eaten a fly.
Song Kai couldnât tolerate Zhu Fanâs malicious insults towards Ruan Qi anymore. He punched Zhu Fan in the jaw before he pointed at him and scolded, âThe young master of the Zhu family, huh? Who do you think you are? Sheâs a hundred times cleaner than you. Donât tell people that you know me from now on!â
Song Kai flung his punching hand. He found it ridiculous that his former friend had revealed his ugliest side because of a woman.
âSong Kai, youâre just an illegitimate son of the Song Family, a bastard. What right do you have to hit my son, you bastard!â Mrs. Zhu shouted angrily.
Song Kai glanced at the elegantly dressed Mrs. Zhu and sneered.
It seemed like Zhu Fan had inherited his bad attitude from his mother.
He didnât want to waste time with them, so he walked out of the hospital and let out a cold sigh.
Zhu Fan had indeed taught him a valuable lesson. One shouldnât judge a book by its cover. Even a beast could dress himself up as a gentleman.
He put in his earbuds and called Jiang Jingchen.
When the call connected, the first thing he said was, âIâm sorry. Iâve wronged you.â
Song Kai wasnât a pretentious person. He would admit his mistakes, even if the mistake made him feel a little aggrieved.
âOh. Why didnât you punch him a few more times? This kid Zhu Fan really needs a beating.â
Song Kai was shocked. He turned his head to look around, but he didnât see anything suspicious.
âDid you send someone to follow me?â
âOi, Song Kai. Is your forte slandering people?â
Song Kai was speechless and then he realized that Jiang Jingchen did say that he would teach Zhu Fan a lesson. So, it was reasonable to expect that he would hire someone to tail Zhu Fan.
But the people he hired could hide in the crowd and quietly get rid of people. This wasnât something an ordinary person could do.
Were they secret agents?
When this thought occurred to Song Kai, he was even more certain that Jiang Jingchen had many secrets.
âWhat are you planning to do to Zhu Fan?â
âIs it any of your business?â
Song Kai gritted his teeth. âIt is indeed none of my business. Itâs my fault for meddling. Itâs also my fault for introducing Zhu Fan to Ruan Qi.â
Although Song Kai hated Jiang Jingchenâs high and mighty attitude, he felt that he was partly responsible for what happened.
âSong Kai, your values are a little askew.â Jiang Jingchen said suddenly like an elder.
Song Kai was stunned and furious at the same time. âIt seems that Young Master Jiang has too much time on his hands. Instead of taking care of your wife, youâre meddling in my business. What does my values have to do with you?â
âMr. Song Kai, our cooperation could be ruined because of your distorted worldview.â
Jiang Jingchenâs tone sounded a little lazy but it made Song Kai nervous.
âWhat do you mean?â
âThere are many things that you donât need to do yourself. Once your hands are dirty, itâs very difficult to wash them clean.â Jiang Jingchen wanted to help him and added, âDoes Song Hai know that you were the one who captured him?â
âJiang Jingchen, how did you know?â Song Kai was shocked. He thought that he had done that in secret.
âAnswer my question. Does he know that it was you?â
âIâm not that stupid to let him know that it was me. 1 just wanted him to experience what it felt like to be locked up in a dark room for days like he has done to me. I never wanted to hurt him.â
Song Kaiâs hatred for the Song family wasnât just about his mother. It was also about the harm the Song family had done to him and the unspeakable experiences they had put him through.
Jiang Jingchen said, âIf you want to continue working with me, listen to me and let him go..â
