The atmosphere in the room suddenly became strange.
Jian Zhi gasped and said, “Okay, then explain, what are you and Shen Xingsui doing here?”
“I…we…”
Shen Xingsui interrupted, and began to say, “What? You can’t see what we are doing here?”
Jian Zhi turned his head to look at Shen Xingsui, and saw the suitcase he was holding in his hand, and immediately became vigilant, “What are you carrying?”
“My own things, what else?” Shen Xingsui rolled his eyes in exasperation. His eyes were hostile when he looked at Jian Zhi. His voice also became more sinister. “Jian Zhi, let me ask you, did you take the things in my dark room?”
Jian Zhi’s eyes flashed unnaturally, but it faded away quickly, and he retorted, “So what if I did? Who are you telling me not to?”
“That’s my thing.” Shen Xingsui said this sentence from the bottom of his heart. He couldn’t control his anger as it bubbled up from his chest. ” You clearly know that I cherish these things very much, why do you do this?”
Jian Zhi looked at Shen Xingsui’s flushed eyes, and heard his resentful tone. His heart trembled inexplicably, but at the same time, his heart rose again in a some twisted sense of revenge.
He destroyed them because of one main reason: he hated Fu Jinxiao.
That person was too dazzling. He stole Jian Zhi’s limelight, resources, fans, popularity, everything. If he didn’t blocked his way in this circle, Jian Zhi would be at the very fucking top of this industry.
But he also resented Shen Xingsui.
Why did this “younger brother” of his, who has such a shitty personality with zero achievement, have so much musical talent? How was this troglodyte able to thrive in this circle?
Shen Xingsui had an inferiority complex, so he shouldn’t be confident. He should be Jian Zhi’s loyal follower forever. He should be so desperately aware of his own incompetence!
Jian Zhi almost growled in his frustration. Emphasizing every word clearly. “Yours? How so? I think you made a mistake, Shen Xingsui, the money you used to buy all of this junk was our family’s money. This room and this place are all ours. Since you are no longer worthy to be a member of the Jian family, I have the right to dump all of this trash where it all belongs. You have no right to take them back! This is the Jian family’s property, you retarded thief!”
In Shen Xingsui ears, this sounded like a tired old joke. He heard a similar rant from Jian Kuo, exactly here, just last year. Now Jian Zhi spoke it again?
Even if he was still ready, Shen Xingsui’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and the grief and anger that he had been trying to suppress gathered together at this moment, in verge of exploding. His heart was tightly burdened as if it was being pressed down by something heavy. In an instant, a teardrop rolled down his cheek, but there was no sad look on his face, but a sarcastic chuckle.
Seeing him crying, Jian Zhi was inexplicably taken aback.
In fact, the moment Jian Zhi said these words, he also regretted it, but he didn’t know what to say to take it back.
Shen Xingsui lowered his head, as if he was buffering some emotions, and then he said in a very low voice, “In this case, according to this logic, if I earn money from part-time jobs, the thing I bought with that money should be mine and mine alone, yes?”
Jian Zhi couldn’t refute, so he could only respond as his heart beat rapidly, “Y-Yeah.”
Shen Xingsui took a deep breath, walked to the cabinet next to his bed, and moved the cabinet back. It was a double-sided cabinet, and the side that was hidden was something untouched. He opened the door, and inside the cabinet was full of very familiar albums and CDs. It was Jian Zhi’s music in physical form.
With a cold anger, Shen Xingsui pushed the cabinet crashing down.
Jian Zhi recognized it at a glance, and he whispered: “You…”
“When I was in school, there were some students who wanted to learn musical instruments. I would teach them. These were all bought with scraps of that money.” Shen Xingsui looked at the dusty shelf, “Later, you didn’t allow me to play musical instruments, listen to your songs in public, or tell my classmates that I am your younger brother. So I shoved all my collections here. These are all quite extensive, right? They’re bought with the fruits of my labor. So I think they all should belong to me, right?”
Jian Zhi seemed to have guessed something, with a bad premonition in his heart, he stepped over:,”What are you going to do…”
Shen Xingsui picked up the standing sign on the shelf, dismantled it and threw it to the place. The glass figurine smashed on the clean in thousands of pieces with a shrill “crash”.
Shen Xingsui methodically collected the CDs and album book, then slammed them down to the floor, shattering them. He grabbed a couple more, then kicked them until it hit the wall. As for the paper merchandise, he ripped them all off, then trampled them with prejudice.
There was a crisp crackling sound on the tiles, and Jian Zhi was frozen in place. Shen Xingsui’s eyes were cold, as if just looking at worthless garbage, not the things that Jian Zhi considered as his pride.
“Huh, I have quite a lot of trash just lying around?” Shen Xingsui muttered loud enough to be heard amidst the pitter-patter of the rain outside. He used his arm to send the remaining CDs on the shelf to the floor, then grabbed the last of them to throw it hard to the wall directly next to Jian Zhi. The broken heaps fell down next to where Jian Zhi stood, and he only saw them with a blank look.
Finally, Jian Zhi regained his senses. He yelled loudly, his voice filled with anger, “Are you fucking crazy?”
Shen Xingsui looked at his distraught appearance. He sneered, and quoted Jian Zhi’s words earlier, “This is my thing, and I have the right to do whatever the fuck I want to. I’m just treating this garbage as it should, you know? If I could burn these, I probably would.”
Just when Jian Zhi thought it was over, Shen Xingsui turned his eyes back to the secret door.
There were things he has treasured for many years, there were broken CDs and spoiled figurines on the ground. They were in the same state as his beliefs in the Jian family.
Shen Xingsui’s gaze gradually turned cold. He turned around and picked up the small wooden cabinet next to him without hesitation. After walking two steps, he slammed the small cabinet to the ground with a huge impact. And the album was shattered, white pieces were all over the floor, some were broken at a corner, and some were cracked as a whole.
Jian Zhi’s eyes were about to burst, and his heart felt inexplicably painful at this moment. It’s as if these trashed things were not only CDs, but also something else. Once it broke, it could never be restored again. It could only be put aside, then thrown into the incinerator.
His eyes were red, and his breaths were labored. He didn’t know if he was sad or angry. And if he was sad, why was he sad in the first place? It’s so confusing.
He took a glance at Shen Xingsui’s icy cold eyes. He never saw this level of tranquil fury on Shen Xingsui before. It scared him.
Jian Zhi couldn’t help roaring out again, this time a hint of desperation was in his voice, “What are you doing?!”
A string in his mind seemed to be broken, he stepped over and grabbed Shen Xingsui’s hand and shook it vigorously. He screamed and yelled, “You fucking retard! Stupid piece of shit! Who the fuck allow you to smash this! This is my album, in my house! Mine, you get it? Mine! All your tattered manuscripts are mine, I can do whatever I want! Let me tell you, you bastard, all of your Fu Jinxiao things were destroyed by me, because I hate that fucking hypocrite trash! You are so fucking dumb to like that talentless singer! You..”
“Slap!”
The loud noise echoed clear into the suddenly-quiet room.
Jian Zhi’s crazed words stopped abruptly, and a bright slap print appeared on his face. From birth to now, his father and older brother have never hit him. For the first time in his life, he was actually beaten by Shen Xingsui, so there was even a moment , he didn’t come back to his senses.
After a while–
Jian Zhi turned his face away, looked at the person in front of him with extreme prejudice. But he could only murmur in disbelief, “D-did you hit me?”
Shen Xingsui looked at him with disgust in his eyes. “You make me feel sick.”
Those words felt like cold water poured down directly to Jian Zhi’s head. He was not sad when he was questioned by Shen Xingsui. He only felt angry when the album was broken. But now, he was confused and lost. He couldn’t speak.
Jian Zhi’s face was a little distorted. He was a very prideful person, so he wanted to retaliate by hitting Shen Xingsui. But Anran, who was beside him, couldn’t stand idly by. He rushed to hold Jian Zhi off and screamed, “Erge, Erge! No, you can’t hit him! Or the Shen family will end us!”
Jian Zhi was furious, but in the end, Anran’s words brought him back to his senses. He almost forgot that now Shen Xingsui can not be bullied by himself. In return, Shen Xingsui could do whatever he wanted and he could get away scott-free.
“What’s in your box?” Jian Zhi pointed to the box next to Shen Xingsui, “Is this something from our house? You can’t take it away, or I will call the police on you for burglary!”
Shen Xingsui seemed to have predicted this outcome. He only smiled, and walked closer to Jian Zhi, kicking off another broken pile of CDs out of his way. “Oh, really? You can go see the CCTV monitoring. I was politely invited by your goody-two-shoes little brother Anran. So, It’s best if you can call the police now. Maybe I can have a good chat with the policeman. Let’s make a bet on who will be sided with the police. What will you do then? Oh, I almost forgot, might as well call some media reporters now. I wonder what your fans will think when they see you being escorted like a criminal.”
Anran was pulled out again, and his face turned pale.
He could almost feel Jian Zhi’s eyes cast on him from behind, almost extremely angry. He has always been the one who schemed on Shen Xingsui. He never expected for the tables to turn.
Jian Zhi didn’t want that outcome. He didn’t want to think of what would happen to him if Shen Xingsui released his original music scores. He bolted to the box, and took it forcibly out of Shen Xingsui’s hand. Shen Xingsui has excellent reflexes, he immediately pull it back, and the two were deadlocked.
Suddenly, Shen Xingsui’s mobile phone rang.
Jian Zhi’s movements stopped.
Shen Xingsui took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and the caller ID turned out to be Fu Jinxiao. He was taken aback, picked it up, and said hesitantly, “Hello?”
Fu Jinxiao’s voice came from the other end of the phone. With the sound of his familiar voice, it instantly calmed Shen Xingsui’s mind. “Where are you?”
“I’m…at the Jian family’s house.” Shen Xingsui told the truth, “I’m taking back my things on the second floor.”
Fu Jinxiao’s observation skills are very keen, and he could detect that Shen Xingsui’s voice was different from usual. It was hoarse and trembling. It was the voice of someone who had cried or on the verge of crying. His mood dropped, and his voice got dangerous, “Did those Jian family dogs bullied you?”
Shen Xingsui was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Fu Jinxiao already knew the answer. He gently asked, “Can you turn on your microphone amplifier and speaker?”
Shen Xingsui did as he was told. Fu Jinxiao’s voice naturally become louder, and everyone in this room could hear him. “You go downstairs. I’ll wait for you there.”
All the people here were stunned.
Fu Jinxiao, however, seemed to ignore everyone’s stupefaction. His voice was slow and sounded very polite, but there was a trace of palpable threat inside. “Or, I can go up there instead.”
“…”
Jian Zhi was not afraid of Shen Xingsui, but he was terrified of Fu Jinxiao. If that person came up, he had no doubt that the mad dog Fu Jinxiao would see this mess and…
It would be a thousand times worse than if he just called the police.
Shen Xingsui glanced at the stupefied Jian Zhi next to him, his brows and eyes became more gentle, and he responded softly, “Okay, I’ll come down now.”
Fu Jinxiao warned, “Don’t hang up the phone yet.”
Shen Xingsui responded positively.
He put the box on his arm, and dragged his suitcase with his other arm. Casually, he walked towards the door. He uncaringly stepped on the mess on the floor, further breaking it and dirtying it with his footsteps.
When he was kicked out a year ago, he didn’t know what fate he would face, where he was going, or if his new family would accept it. So, he didn’t dare to change anything in this room, a room full of memories – good or bad. He didn’t dare to move on. He was scared.
But now… he could destroy it easily.
Of course, for the precious things, he picked them up and took them home.
Because he has a home now.
A place where his beloved family was waiting for him, with warm meals and a warm bed. With them backing him up, he dared to vent his anger this way.
When passing by Jian Zhi, he looked at Shen Xingsui, as if he wanted to reach out to stop him. But Shen Xingsui stopped and looked at him in return, there was no emotion in his eyes anymore. The youth paused, directly ignored Anran, and smiled at Jian Zhi. “Actually, I also pity you. You’re a poor, poor man.”
Jian Zhi didn’t understand.
Shen Xingsui didn’t give him time to understand what he meant. He just passed him and left.
Jian Zhi in the room froze in place because of Shen Xingsui’s words. He has always had his own pride in his works and placement in the family. He was stronger than Shen Xingsui by a long shot.
‘Pitiful?’
Jian Zhi’s body swayed unsteadily.
‘How?’
Anran rushed over to catch him, and asked eagerly, “Erge, Erge, are you alright?”
Jian Zhi recovered and looked at Anran. His complexion was very bad, but Anran didn’t care about him at all, instead he chattered endlessly, “What should I do, will Shen Xingsui complain to Fu-ge and the Shen family when he returns? W-will they sue us? That’s… that’s not good. Did Suisui just take away something important? Will he spread slander about you on the Internet? I–”
Before Anran completed his chatter, he finally saw Jian Zhi’s eyes. It was filled to the brim with unreleased wrath.
“You stupid bitch! If it wasn’t for you, how could he have entered here?” Jian Zhi was angry. He vented it directly to Anran.
Anran panicked when he saw him, and quickly tried to soothe him, “Ge, why are you blaming me? I was also threatened by him. I also have difficulties. Besides… don’t I care about you now?”
Jian Zhi used to feel that Anran was very lovely and well-behaved, sensible and adorable. Plus, he always tries to gain his favor endearingly unlike Shen Xingsui.
But for some reason, the more he looked at Anran, the more disgusted he felt. Anran looked and sounded very sycophantic. His words sounded disingenuous. No matter what, the fact is, he brought Shen Xingsui in.
He wasn’t a fool. Immediately, he sneered at Anran, “Then what are your difficulties, tell me and let me hear it?”
Anran was choked by these words, he opened his mouth softly, but no words were spoken at this moment. Then, he cranked up the waterworks. He softly sobbed, “I can’t say it, but Ge, you have to believe that I really have difficulties. I… I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. Bu-but, you don’t have to be afraid, Ge. You didn’t do anything wrong. I’m afraid that Shen Xingsui is going to do something, could it be that those music scores reall–”
“Slap!”
Jian Zhi, who was extremely angry, turned his anger towards slapping Anran hard.
Anran’s body shook in shock. A clear slap print appeared on his face, making him freeze in place. He didn’t expect that his second brother, who always loved him, would hit him. Although he knew that Jian Zhi was not a good person, and he treated Shen Xingsui extremely badly, but that was towards Shen Xingsui! It’s great if Jian Zhi did that to that cunt, not him!
However, Jian Zhi did not regret it at all. He looked at Anran condescendingly, and said coldly, “Anran, I warn you. No matter what your reasons are, it’s still your goddamn fault. If I fail in the entertainment circle because of this, I will drag you down with me to hell.”
Anran choked on air.
Looking at Jian Zhi’s cold expression, he vaguely realized that he might have caused a catastrophe, and immediately became afraid. He stepped forward and wanted to pull Jian Zhi’s sleeve, “Erge…”
Jian But Zhi was quickly dodged, he turned and walked outside. He left Anran behind with one last sentence: “Don’t call me brother again.”
“Bang!”
The door was completely closed, and the room was left in a mess.
The pattering rain outside seemed to be the herald of the muddy and chaotic future of the Jian family.
by God this was the most blood-pumping chapter I ever translated in my life. My BPM shot up into the sky lol.

Why did this “younger brother” of his, who has such a shitty personality with zero achievement, have so much musical talent? How was this troglodyte able to thrive in this circle?

He wasn’t a fool. Immediately, he sneered at Anran, “Then what are your difficulties, tell me and let me hear it?”
Anran was choked by these words, he opened his mouth softly, but no words were spoken at this moment. Then, he cranked up the waterworks. He softly sobbed, “I can’t say it, but Ge, you have to believe that I really have difficulties. I… I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. Bu-but, you don’t have to be afraid, Ge. You didn’t do anything wrong. I’m afraid that Shen Xingsui is going to do something, could it be that those music scores reall–”
“Slap!”
Jian Zhi, who was extremely angry, turned his anger towards slapping Anran hard.
Anran’s body shook in shock. A clear slap print appeared on his face, making him freeze in place. He didn’t expect that his second brother, who always loved him, would hit him. Although he knew that Jian Zhi was not a good person, and he treated Shen Xingsui extremely badly, but that was towards Shen Xingsui! It’s great if Jian Zhi did that to that cunt, not him!
However, Jian Zhi did not regret it at all. He looked at Anran condescendingly, and said coldly, “Anran, I warn you. No matter what your reasons are, it’s still your goddamn fault. If I fail in the entertainment circle because of this, I will drag you down with me to hell.”
Anran choked on air.
Looking at Jian Zhi’s cold expression, he vaguely realized that he might have caused a catastrophe, and immediately became afraid. He stepped forward and wanted to pull Jian Zhi’s sleeve, “Erge…”
Jian But Zhi was quickly dodged, he turned and walked outside. He left Anran behind with one last sentence: “Don’t call me brother again.”
“Bang!”
The door was completely closed, and the room was left in a mess.
The pattering rain outside seemed to be the herald of the muddy and chaotic future of the Jian family.
by God this was the most blood-pumping chapter I ever translated in my life. My BPM shot up into the sky lol.
Thank you Phest for the donations The atmosphere in the room suddenly became strange.Jian Zhi gasped and said, Okay, then explain, what are you and Shen Xingsui doing here?IweShen Xingsui interrupted, and began to say, What? You can't see what we are doing here?Jian Zhi turned his head to look at Shen Xingsui, and saw the suitcase he was holding in his hand, and immediately became vigilant, What are you carrying?My own things, what else? Shen Xingsui rolled his eyes in exasperation. His eyes were hostile when he looked at Jian Zhi. His voice also became more sinister. Jian Zhi, let me ask you, did you take the things in my dark room?Jian Zhi's eyes flashed unnaturally, but it faded away quickly, and he retorted, So what if I did? Who are you telling me not to?That's my thing. Shen Xingsui said this sentence from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't control his anger as it bubbled up from his chest. You clearly know that I cherish these things very much, why do you do this?Jian Zhi looked at Shen Xingsui's flushed eyes, and heard his resentful tone. His heart trembled inexplicably, but at the same time, his heart rose again in a some twisted sense of revenge.He destroyed them because of one main reason: he hated Fu Jinxiao.That person was too dazzling. He stole Jian Zhi's limelight, resources, fans, popularity, everything. If he didn't blocked his way in this circle, Jian Zhi would be at the very fucking top of this industry.But he also resented Shen Xingsui.Why did this younger brother of his, who has such a shitty personality with zero achievement, have so much musical talent? How was this troglodyte able to thrive in this circle?Shen Xingsui had an inferiority complex, so he shouldn't be confident. He should be Jian Zhi's loyal follower forever. He should be so desperately aware of his own incompetence!Jian Zhi almost growled in his frustration. Emphasizing every word clearly. Yours? How so? I think you made a mistake, Shen Xingsui, the money you used to buy all of this junk was our family's money. This room and this place are all ours. Since you are no longer worthy to be a member of the Jian family, I have the right to dump all of this trash where it all belongs. You have no right to take them back! This is the Jian family's property, you retarded thief!In Shen Xingsui ears, this sounded like a tired old joke. He heard a similar rant from Jian Kuo, exactly here, just last year. Now Jian Zhi spoke it again?Even if he was still ready, Shen Xingsui's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the grief and anger that he had been trying to suppress gathered together at this moment, in verge of exploding. His heart was tightly burdened as if it was being pressed down by something heavy. In an instant, a teardrop rolled down his cheek, but there was no sad look on his face, but a sarcastic chuckle.Seeing him crying, Jian Zhi was inexplicably taken aback.In fact, the moment Jian Zhi said these words, he also regretted it, but he didn't know what to say to take it back.Shen Xingsui lowered his head, as if he was buffering some emotions, and then he said in a very low voice, In this case, according to this logic, if I earn money from part-time jobs, the thing I bought with that money should be mine and mine alone, yes?Jian Zhi couldn't refute, so he could only respond as his heart beat rapidly, Y-Yeah.Shen Xingsui took a deep breath, walked to the cabinet next to his bed, and moved the cabinet back. It was a double-sided cabinet, and the side that was hidden was something untouched. He opened the door, and inside the cabinet was full of very familiar albums and CDs. It was Jian Zhi's music in physical form.With a cold anger, Shen Xingsui pushed the cabinet crashing down.Jian Zhi recognized it at a glance, and he whispered: YouWhen I was in school, there were some students who wanted to learn musical instruments. I would teach them. These were all bought with scraps of that money. Shen Xingsui looked at the dusty shelf, Later, you didn't allow me to play musical instruments, listen to your songs in public, or tell my classmates that I am your younger brother. So I shoved all my collections here. These are all quite extensive, right? They're bought with the fruits of my labor. So I think they all should belong to me, right?Jian Zhi seemed to have guessed something, with a bad premonition in his heart, he stepped over:,What are you going to doShen Xingsui picked up the standing sign on the shelf, dismantled it and threw it to the place. The glass figurine smashed on the clean in thousands of pieces with a shrill crash.Shen Xingsui methodically collected the CDs and album book, then slammed them down to the floor, shattering them. He grabbed a couple more, then kicked them until it hit the wall. As for the paper merchandise, he ripped them all off, then trampled them with prejudice.There was a crisp crackling sound on the tiles, and Jian Zhi was frozen in place. Shen Xingsui's eyes were cold, as if just looking at worthless garbage, not the things that Jian Zhi considered as his pride.Huh, I have quite a lot of trash just lying around? Shen Xingsui muttered loud enough to be heard amidst the pitter-patter of the rain outside. He used his arm to send the remaining CDs on the shelf to the floor, then grabbed the last of them to throw it hard to the wall directly next to Jian Zhi. The broken heaps fell down next to where Jian Zhi stood, and he only saw them with a blank look.Finally, Jian Zhi regained his senses. He yelled loudly, his voice filled with anger, Are you fucking crazy?Shen Xingsui looked at his distraught appearance. He sneered, and quoted Jian Zhi's words earlier, This is my thing, and I have the right to do whatever the fuck I want to. I'm just treating this garbage as it should, you know? If I could burn these, I probably would.Just when Jian Zhi thought it was over, Shen Xingsui turned his eyes back to the secret door.There were things he has treasured for many years, there were broken CDs and spoiled figurines on the ground. They were in the same state as his beliefs in the Jian family.Shen Xingsui's gaze gradually turned cold. He turned around and picked up the small wooden cabinet next to him without hesitation. After walking two steps, he slammed the small cabinet to the ground with a huge impact. And the album was shattered, white pieces were all over the floor, some were broken at a corner, and some were cracked as a whole.Jian Zhi's eyes were about to burst, and his heart felt inexplicably painful at this moment. It's as if these trashed things were not only CDs, but also something else. Once it broke, it could never be restored again. It could only be put aside, then thrown into the incinerator.His eyes were red, and his breaths were labored. He didn't know if he was sad or angry. And if he was sad, why was he sad in the first place? It's so confusing.He took a glance at Shen Xingsui's icy cold eyes. He never saw this level of tranquil fury on Shen Xingsui before. It scared him.Jian Zhi couldn't help roaring out again, this time a hint of desperation was in his voice, What are you doing?!A string in his mind seemed to be broken, he stepped over and grabbed Shen Xingsui's hand and shook it vigorously. He screamed and yelled, You fucking retard! Stupid piece of shit! Who the fuck allow you to smash this! This is my album, in my house! Mine, you get it? Mine! All your tattered manuscripts are mine, I can do whatever I want! Let me tell you, you bastard, all of your Fu Jinxiao things were destroyed by me, because I hate that fucking hypocrite trash! You are so fucking dumb to like that talentless singer! You..Slap!The loud noise echoed clear into the suddenly-quiet room.Jian Zhi's crazed words stopped abruptly, and a bright slap print appeared on his face. From birth to now, his father and older brother have never hit him. For the first time in his life, he was actually beaten by Shen Xingsui, so there was even a moment , he didn't come back to his senses.After a whileJian Zhi turned his face away, looked at the person in front of him with extreme prejudice. But he could only murmur in disbelief, D-did you hit me?Shen Xingsui looked at him with disgust in his eyes. You make me feel sick.Those words felt like cold water poured down directly to Jian Zhi's head. He was not sad when he was questioned by Shen Xingsui. He only felt angry when the album was broken. But now, he was confused and lost. He couldn't speak.Jian Zhi's face was a little distorted. He was a very prideful person, so he wanted to retaliate by hitting Shen Xingsui. But Anran, who was beside him, couldn't stand idly by. He rushed to hold Jian Zhi off and screamed, Erge, Erge! No, you can't hit him! Or the Shen family will end us!Jian Zhi was furious, but in the end, Anran's words brought him back to his senses. He almost forgot that now Shen Xingsui can not be bullied by himself. In return, Shen Xingsui could do whatever he wanted and he could get away scott-free.What's in your box? Jian Zhi pointed to the box next to Shen Xingsui, Is this something from our house? You can't take it away, or I will call the police on you for burglary!Shen Xingsui seemed to have predicted this outcome. He only smiled, and walked closer to Jian Zhi, kicking off another broken pile of CDs out of his way. Oh, really? You can go see the CCTV monitoring. I was politely invited by your goody-two-shoes little brother Anran. So, It's best if you can call the police now. Maybe I can have a good chat with the policeman. Let's make a bet on who will be sided with the police. What will you do then? Oh, I almost forgot, might as well call some media reporters now. I wonder what your fans will think when they see you being escorted like a criminal.Anran was pulled out again, and his face turned pale.He could almost feel Jian Zhi's eyes cast on him from behind, almost extremely angry. He has always been the one who schemed on Shen Xingsui. He never expected for the tables to turn.Jian Zhi didn't want that outcome. He didn't want to think of what would happen to him if Shen Xingsui released his original music scores. He bolted to the box, and took it forcibly out of Shen Xingsui's hand. Shen Xingsui has excellent reflexes, he immediately pull it back, and the two were deadlocked.Suddenly, Shen Xingsui's mobile phone rang.Jian Zhi's movements stopped.Shen Xingsui took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and the caller ID turned out to be Fu Jinxiao. He was taken aback, picked it up, and said hesitantly, Hello?Fu Jinxiao's voice came from the other end of the phone. With the sound of his familiar voice, it instantly calmed Shen Xingsui's mind. Where are you?I'mat the Jian family's house. Shen Xingsui told the truth, I'm taking back my things on the second floor.Fu Jinxiao's observation skills are very keen, and he could detect that Shen Xingsui's voice was different from usual. It was hoarse and trembling. It was the voice of someone who had cried or on the verge of crying. His mood dropped, and his voice got dangerous, Did those Jian family dogs bullied you?Shen Xingsui was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.Fu Jinxiao already knew the answer. He gently asked, Can you turn on your microphone amplifier and speaker?Shen Xingsui did as he was told. Fu Jinxiao's voice naturally become louder, and everyone in this room could hear him. You go downstairs. I'll wait for you there.All the people here were stunned.Fu Jinxiao, however, seemed to ignore everyone's stupefaction. His voice was slow and sounded very polite, but there was a trace of palpable threat inside. Or, I can go up there instead.Jian Zhi was not afraid of Shen Xingsui, but he was terrified of Fu Jinxiao. If that person came up, he had no doubt that the mad dog Fu Jinxiao would see this mess andIt would be a thousand times worse than if he just called the police.Shen Xingsui glanced at the stupefied Jian Zhi next to him, his brows and eyes became more gentle, and he responded softly, Okay, I'll come down now.Fu Jinxiao warned, Don't hang up the phone yet.Shen Xingsui responded positively.He put the box on his arm, and dragged his suitcase with his other arm. Casually, he walked towards the door. He uncaringly stepped on the mess on the floor, further breaking it and dirtying it with his footsteps.When he was kicked out a year ago, he didn't know what fate he would face, where he was going, or if his new family would accept it. So, he didn't dare to change anything in this room, a room full of memories good or bad. He didn't dare to move on. He was scared.But now he could destroy it easily.Of course, for the precious things, he picked them up and took them home.Because he has a home now.A place where his beloved family was waiting for him, with warm meals and a warm bed. With them backing him up, he dared to vent his anger this way.When passing by Jian Zhi, he looked at Shen Xingsui, as if he wanted to reach out to stop him. But Shen Xingsui stopped and looked at him in return, there was no emotion in his eyes anymore. The youth paused, directly ignored Anran, and smiled at Jian Zhi. Actually, I also pity you. You're a poor, poor man.Jian Zhi didn't understand.Shen Xingsui didn't give him time to understand what he meant. He just passed him and left.Jian Zhi in the room froze in place because of Shen Xingsui's words. He has always had his own pride in his works and placement in the family. He was stronger than Shen Xingsui by a long shot.Pitiful?'Jian Zhi's body swayed unsteadily.How?'Anran rushed over to catch him, and asked eagerly, Erge, Erge, are you alright?Jian Zhi recovered and looked at Anran. His complexion was very bad, but Anran didn't care about him at all, instead he chattered endlessly, What should I do, will Shen Xingsui complain to Fu-ge and the Shen family when he returns? W-will they sue us? That's that's not good. Did Suisui just take away something important? Will he spread slander about you on the Internet? IBefore Anran completed his chatter, he finally saw Jian Zhi's eyes. It was filled to the brim with unreleased wrath.You stupid bitch! If it wasn't for you, how could he have entered here? Jian Zhi was angry. He vented it directly to Anran.Anran panicked when he saw him, and quickly tried to soothe him, Ge, why are you blaming me? I was also threatened by him. I also have difficulties. Besides don't I care about you now?Jian Zhi used to feel that Anran was very lovely and well-behaved, sensible and adorable. Plus, he always tries to gain his favor endearingly unlike Shen Xingsui.But for some reason, the more he looked at Anran, the more disgusted he felt. Anran looked and sounded very sycophantic. His words sounded disingenuous. No matter what, the fact is, he brought Shen Xingsui in.He wasn't a fool.
