The Next Of Phoenix
Chapter 53. Two Road That Is Pissing

"BASTARD! YOU REALLY EMBARRASSED ME!" Fang Jichang slammed all over his son Fang Laowang's painted canvas. After learning of the news he had heard from one of the ministries that Fang Laowang often secretly visited Xiao Wangfu to meet Xiao Mingyui, the man was enraged.

Fang Laowang did not reply to his father's scolding, the man was calm but with the two corners of his eyebrows slightly fused picking up one by one the painting canvas his father slammed.

"How could you do such a stupid thing?! You want to make my face a joke?!" Fang Jichang snapped again, his eyes staring at Fang Laowang's wrath.

Fang Laowang put down the entire canvas he had finished picking up, then looked at his father and replied, "I just want to discuss painting-"

"Don't fool your father, Laowang!" Fang Jichang snapped once more, then continued, "You fell in love with that woman?!!"

Fang Laowang was silent, but then he asked, "Where do you know? There is no evidence that can prove everything you say is real. True, I often meet Princess Mingyui. But for a like-" feeling"

"You're starting to dare to reply to my sentence beyond question? Laowang, don't think your father's a fool! Your behavior really makes me sick!" Fang Jichang cut quickly, he was starting to run out of patience.

Fang Laowang clenched both his hands, his heart started to beat violently. "If I told him I loved him, would you still try to kill him?"

Fang Jichang frowned, then smiled coldly. "What do you know so far about love? I sent you to school outside the Capital City not to know love! But to be my successor!"

Fang Laowang shook his head. "But that doesn't mean I lose the right to fall in love like any other teenager. All this time I've been filial and learned to die-"

PAA!!

Fang Jichang slapped his son's cheek hard, then said, "Don't be a fool out of love! Don't you know that many of the Empire's higher-ups have become ridiculous due to that disgusting feeling?! You are destined to be the successor of the Fang family! Then avoid stupid thoughts and feelings that will trouble you!"

"Why is dad so adamant?! They were an Imperial family that held great power! Why did you want to take down Xiao Wangfu so badly?!" Fang Laowanh couldn't bear to ask, she wasn't at all in line with her father's thoughts.

"Because I don't want to go back to life hard! Don't you know my struggle to obtain the Fang family's great master's seat?! I had to endure humiliation and live hard for many years. And this time, we have a chance. I'll bring the Fang family to the very top!" Fang Jichang explained his ambition with an excited feeling.

"Then what about mom? Did you never love him? Impossible dad never--!"

"She's just a lowly woman experiencing my well-being! Look at him now! Does he have any benefits for the Fang family? He was just lying sickly on the bed! It was simply not worthy of being called Fang Furen!" Cut off Fang Jichang, the man seemed to have been blinded by his power and ambition to become the most powerful.

Fang Laowang clenched his hands together, he hated hearing his father cursing at his mother the most. If not for the stupidity of his father who was not good at taking care of his wife and giving more care to his mother, his mother would not be as stressed and sickly as she is now!

Fang Laowang's facial wrinkle cooled, as soon as the door of his room closed tightly, the man walked slowly towards the canvas of Xiao Mingyui's painting that had been broken because of his father.

Fang Laowang picked up the canvas, then took a seat on the sofa while looking at Xiao Mingyui's face painting.

"How can I do that?" muttered Fang Laowang, his lips smiling wryly. His heart was completely crushed, his spirit and happiness since childhood had always been destroyed by his own father. He said, it was his destiny as the heir of the Fang family. Repugn.

The reason Fang Jichang was so eyeing Xiao Mingyui's death, was because the man began to realize that Xiao Wangfu's true strength was in the woman. Xiao Xiangqing was indeed the head of the family as well as the owner of the grand title of 'Xiao Wangye', but the man did not take care of Xiao Wangfu alone. The man was very obedient to Xiao Mingyui's sentence, they were completely clinging to each other and complementing. One way to tear down Xiao Wangfu was to kill one of them.

Xiao Xiangqing was a young man who possessed extremely high martial arts, as well as Xiao Mingyui. But because of Xiao Wangye Xiao Xiangqing's title, killing Xiao Xiangqing was a heavy choice. Although this objection also applied to Xiao Mingyui as many of the Empire's higher-ups paid attention to him, the choice of killing Xiao Mingyui was better than Xiao Xiangqing's. Plus, Fang Jichang had recently heard of Xiao Mingyui's and Crown Prince's growing closeness. If they were to kill Xiao Mingyui, not only would Xiao Xiangqing be hit, but also with the Crown Prince. Therefore, killing Xiao Mingyui was the right choice.

But Fang Laowang who was assigned to be the one to kill him was actually trapped inside those beautiful eyes. He, fell into the charm of Xiao Mingyui. Fang Laowang would not be able to kill the person he loved, because if he did that, maybe he would become a much more broken person than Xiao Jiwang and Xiao Xiangqing. Because he killed his own love.

On the other hand, if Fang Laowang did not carry out his father's orders, his dream of becoming the heir to the Fang family in order to protect his sickly mother would fail. He would not be able to see his mother continue to suffer.

Fang Laowang's world felt extremely dark, he did not know which path he should choose. His mother or his love, both of them tortured him.

Fang Laowang hugged Xiao Mingyui's painting, then his right hand moved to massage his dizzy forehead. His life had always felt so heavy, when could he feel joy without burden?

Meanwhile Xiao Xiangqing who was about to board his horse to return to Xiao Wangfu was stopped by Gu Lingchi's call.

"Yeez! Waita minute!"

Xiao Xiangqing turned his head, then saw Gu Lingchi running towards him while carrying a brown parcel.

"This is the daycare of princess Mo when I went to the Palace this afternoon to give you the report you've been working on." Gu Lingchi then handed Mo Wanwan's bag of licks to Xiao Xiangqing.

Xiao Xiangqing clucked resentfully inwardly, then he stared coldly at the parcel and picked it up. Seeing this, she became reminded of the 'marriage' her brother mentioned. Shit, she couldn't think too long about this, because her brother gave her a time limit to think.

Xiao Xiangqing rode on the horse with a huffed sigh, then turned to look at Gu Lingchi again and said, "Send Princess Mo a thank you letter, please, then tell him that tomorrow I'll meet him to discuss something."

Gu Lingchi was stunned, then nodded. "Good!" After Xiao Xiangqing left, Gu Lingchi immediately burst into laughter. She knew the story that Xiao Mingyui had asked Xiao Xiangqing to think about her marriage to Princess Mo if true suspicions towards Mo Wanwan were clean.
