Since he was young, Jiang Guo had always felt he wasn't a good person.
Now, standing in front of Zhong Xingyue's father, hearing him spout such shameless talk, Jiang Guo felt that he himself was a pure, unblemished angel.
To talk about selling his own daughter with such righteousness, this old gambler really was one of a kind.
"Oh, Old Zhong, I didn't see that coming, you've got quite the sense of loyalty, eh? Offering your daughter up for fun to the Master?"
"Isn't it without cost?"
At that moment, Jiang Guo asked with narrowed eyes.
At the mention of money, Old Zhong's eyes lit up like tiny light bulbs! Money, that was the lifeblood of his domain in the gambling arena!
Now, with an embarrassed smile and rubbing his hands together, he flattered, "Hehe, the Master is known on Hong Kong Island for his generosity, I believe he will give me a few bucks at least."
"Jiang Ye, I won't lie to you, these years, I've taken great pains to raise my daughter, to send her to school, oh my, I must have sold my blood no less than fifty times!"
"Hehe, if I do get some money, could it be a bit more? Hehe, she, she's still a chick."
At that moment, to sell his daughter for a good price, Old Zhong spoke lies without even blinking.
Jiang Guo, listening to this, almost exploded with anger!
You son of a bitch, truly a son of a bitch!
In this world, there were actually people more despicable than himself!
Clearly selling blood was for his gambling addiction, what did it have to do with providing for his daughter?
As for Zhong Xingyue, Jiang Guo had conducted an investigation before; this woman was raised single-handedly by her mother, having nothing to do with her gambler father.
Moreover, when Zhong Xingyue's mother was critically ill in the hospital, this bastard even stole the life-saving money to gamble.
Jiang Guo felt that, no matter how much of a scoundrel he was, he couldn't have done something as devoid of conscience as that.
Now, thinking about how this guy came to the Master's villa without his permission, nearly getting him killed in the process, Jiang Guo felt a surge of rage welling up in his chest.
"Where is your daughter? Where is she?"
Clenching his fists, Jiang Guo asked.
"Hehe, I, I put her in the car, Jiang Ye, rest assured, I drugged her with a sleeping pill, she won't wake up just yet."
"Do you see if I can go in now?"
Zhong Xingyue's gambler father had completely lost himself to the idea of money; he remained oblivious to the danger at hand.
Jiang Guo let out a breath heavy with spit and delivered a kick right at him!
"Beat him to death!"
If this guy died, it would save him the trouble of his deeds coming to light! Following Jiang Guo's orders, two bodyguards rushed forward!
In an instant, Old Zhong, who had just been fawning and snickering, now lay on the ground howling in pain!
Xu Fan watched indifferently, not a trace of sympathy in his eyes.
For a moment, he couldn't help but feel some pity for the girl who danced like an Immortal.
Heaven had given her a perfect appearance, but also saddled her with such a wretched father.
It was hard to say whether the heavens were being cruel or just in this case.
Heading toward Old Zhong's car, Xu Fan opened the door and could see Zhong Xingyue sleeping inside.
Tears still marked her tender cheeks, clearly not expecting her biological father to be so heartless.
At the moment, Zhong Xingyue was merely drugged with a sleeping pill, and Xu Fan pinched her philtrum, and after a short while, saw her slowly open her eyes.
"How... how come it's you?"
She had thought that upon waking up, she would be facing a group of beasts ready to defile her body, but seeing Xu Fan before her now, her clear eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.
It seemed, this time, her foolish self had been saved by him again.
This may be the only window of opportunity this ruthless heaven has left open for me.
She could faintly hear her father's wails, and recalling the memory of him trying to sell her, Zhong Xingyue could restrain herself no longer, as tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I... I..."
She had vowed to repay this man, but in the end, she was troubling him yet again.
Zhong Xingyue felt that she was truly useless.
"Silly girl."
Seeing Zhong Xingyue crying so pitifully, Xu Fan shook his head with a smile that held both laughter and tears, and immediately wrapped her delicate body in his embrace.
At this moment, what she needed was a reliable shoulder.
"If you want to cry, then cry out loud now."
Gently patting Zhong Xingyue's back, Xu Fan started comforting her.
Feeling the tenderness of this man, at this moment, Zhong Xingyue felt as if all the disdain, grievances, and helplessness she had suffered for the past twenty years turned into tears and gushed out from the corners of her eyes!
She had never relied on a man's shoulder before, nor had she ever believed that men could be reliable, but right now, lying in this man's arms, she felt incredibly safe.
If possible, she wished she could hold onto him like this for the rest of her life, embracing this stranger who had helped her time and again.
"Thank... thank you."
After crying for a good while, even Xu Fan's shoulder had become completely wet from her tears.
Zhong Xingyue reluctantly raised her head from Xu Fan's shoulder, her cheeks flushed as she looked toward Xu Fan.
Xu Fan smiled gently and wiped the tears off her cheeks.
To call Zhong Xingyue foolish was not wrong, but at the same time, she was also very kind.
Gazing at her, Xu Fan said, "It's not wrong to be kind, but you also have to choose the right people to be kind to."
"Some people can't be moved by your kindness, understand?"
As for her gambling-addicted father, he probably wouldn't come to his senses until death.
Zhong Xingyue's kindness was a waste on him.
Jiang Guo and two bodyguards were clustered together, brutally beating the old gambler, who was now barely hanging on to life.
Xu Fan glanced over indifferently and said, "Jiang Guo, stop."
"You want me to stop..."
Caught up in the fervor of beating, Jiang Guo was about to swear when he realized who was telling him to stop and immediately clenched up.
"Everyone... everyone stop, stop now!"
Having barked out an order, Jiang Guo pulled back the two bodyguards.
Those bodyguards couldn't help but look curiously at Xu Fan.
They knew Jiang Guo's temperament well; this man would only respect someone like Ye Yun, and disregarded everyone else.
Now that this young man had simply spoken a word, and he had obediently ceased, it seemed this youth's status was far from low.
"Daughter... daughter, I, I am your father, ah, apparently, you've found such a good husband, you, why didn't you tell dad..."
Having narrowly escaped death, old Zhong was now groveling on the ground, crawling towards Xu Fan with a face full of relief.
He didn't know how this young man compared to Ye Yun, but at the very least, he seemed extraordinary.
If he could marry his daughter off to such a prominent figure, wouldn't he himself also rise to heaven riding the coattails of a chicken or a dog?
As he crawled on the ground, intending to call out "son-in-law," Xu Fan saw this, a flicker of murderous intent passed through his eyes, and he kicked old Zhong away.
"Get lost."
