Rebirth from the Ashes Chapter 448 - Sock Him in the Face

Chapter 448: Sock Him in the Face

Li Yuan.
The man in the car was Li Yuan.
Fu Qingye’s guess was right.
It was indeed Shen Xi.
As usual, Shen Xi arrived at Fu’s residence by car, prepared the medicine, applied acupuncture, and without wasting a breath, she would complete the task for the day before taking off.
Standing by the living room doorway, Fu Qingye was overtaken by a wave of emotions as Shen Xi left. He turned to Fu Qingli who was next to him. “Qingli, do you have a minute?”
Fu Qingli noticed Fu Qingye came home looking ghastly after a trip out in the morning. He followed his younger brother to the study.
“What are you guys going to talk about? I want in,” Fu Qingxuan cried and chased after them.
Before he could step into the study, the door was shut in his face with a loud bang.
Had it not for his quick reflexes, the door would have slammed on his face. Feeling his chest following the aftershock, he grumbled and walked away.
He was not into eavesdropping. Nevertheless, Qingye did not look too good while Qingli seemed to have a bone to pick with Qingye.
The study.
It was eerily quiet.
Standing high, Fu Qingye held down his displeasure, fury, and disappointment as he gazed at the man who was always his hero. Fu Qingye went right to it. “You knew who she was from the start, right?”
Fu Qingli knew that the matter might not escape his eye. He affirmed Fu Qingye’s suspicion and admitted to it. “Given that she came here in disguise, you should go along with it.”
Fu Qingye coldly scoffed, letting the disappointment get ahold of him. He questioned through gritted teeth, “Do you really not know the reason why she had to come here in disguise?”
Fu Qingli frowned as his mild-mannered brother had never used this tone with him. He warned Fu Qingye. “Qingye, you know where I stand on this. Don’t anger me and complicate matters further.”
Ticked off, Fu Qingye chuckled and balled his fists while hissing, “So, you want me to play dumb? Don’t you know why she’s here?”
She said no to Qingli from the very beginning.
It was only later when Xuan called her behind everyone’s back, telling her Mom was sick that she came rushing over.
Yet, this was all Fu Qingli had to say. Was he so heartless or only towards Shen Xi? What crime did she commit to deserve such hatred and rejection from him?
Any doctor in the world who could treat Mom right now would probably receive better treatment than Shen Xi!
“I’ll make it worth her while,” Fu Qingli said. Fu Qingye suddenly raised his knuckle to sock it to Qingli’s face upon hearing that.
Fu Qingye came in quick and strong with all his might. Since they were within close quarters, Fu Qingli was unable to dodge the blow. He took a direct punch under his left eye.
The pain in his face was nothing compared to the sucker punch. For a moment, Fu Qingli had no idea how to react to his brother’s fury.
He hit him.
Qingye actually raised his hand at him for an insignificant brat!
Fu Qingye’s emotions finally reached an outburst. With his handsome face filled with anger and disappointment, he yelled, “Look what you’ve done to someone’s child! Are you trying to push her over the edge?”
