Chapter 666: Carefully Test

When he arrived at the hospital, his heart ached when he saw Han Luofan’s bruises.

He asked Han Luofan, “What happened? You’re already so old, yet you’re still fighting with people.”

Han Luofan was not young anymore. He was not the kind of child who did not know anything in his teens. What kind of person did he think his father was? If he fabricated things, he would definitely not be able to escape Han Bing’s eagle-like eyes. Han Luofan fell silent.

Seeing that he was silent, Han Bing knew that he must have started it first.

Knowing that his son was in the wrong, it did not mean that Han Bing was willing to see his son being beaten up. He endured his anger and asked, “Who hit you?”

Han Luofan said unwillingly, “That woman surnamed Ji and her man.” Even though the lights were off and his appearance could not be seen, Han Luofan could guess his identity just from his height.

Hearing this, Han Bing completely gave up on the idea of seeking justice for his son.

He was silent for a moment before saying, “Oh, that girl doesn’t look like she would hit someone for no reason. Did you say something unpleasant?”

Han Bing’s gaze was especially sharp. When he looked at Han Luofan, his gaze was clear.

Han Luofan remained silent.

Han Bing was furious and could not help but scold him. “Why did you look for her for no reason! You’re a man. Why are you arguing with a woman?”

However, Han Luofan loudly retorted to Han Bing, “Then you’re still my father and my mother’s husband. Do you know what you’ve been doing recently! You ignored our existence and ran openly to overturn the case for your old lover! Now that everyone in Junyang City knows, my father, Han Luofan, is obsessed with his first love. He spends all day and night refusing to even return home!”

Han Luofan had been very angry recently, and this was the first time he had erupted.

Han Bing was stunned by his son’s words.

He looked at Han Luofan with a complicated gaze, as if he was angry but also a little disgusted. Being stared at by Han Bing with a disgusted gaze, Han Luofan was also stunned. He was already in his thirties. He was also a businessman. He could read people’s expressions. He did not think that it was his imagination to see disgust in Han Bing’s eyes.

Han Luofan was slightly stunned. He questioned Han Bing in a sharp tone, “Why are you looking at me like that? Now that you know that your first love is not doing well, you start to hate me?”

Han Bing’s eyes flickered a few times, but in the end, he only sighed.

“Xiao Fan, you don’t understand.” He said the same thing Cai Jie had said before.

With that, Han Bing said that he would rest well and went back.

Han Luofan was so angry that he threw the pillow under him at the door. Coincidentally, Cai Jie pushed the door open with the soup, and the pillow hit Cai Jie’s face.

Cai Jie was stunned.

The pillow fell to the ground. When Han Luofan saw Cai Jie, he was stunned at first, but then he said angrily, “I didn’t intend to hit you.” Cai Jie bent down and picked up the pillow, not arguing with Han Luofan. She took the pillow into the house and swept the dust off the pillow before putting down the soup.

As Cai Jie scooped soup for Han Luofan, she said softly, “I bumped into your father in the corridor just now. You said you didn’t intend to hit me, but your father?” Cai Jie’s tone was calm, and one could not tell if she was happy or angry.

Han Luofan was speechless.

Cai Jie recalled the man’s gloomy face when she saw Han Bing. She frowned and asked Han Luofan, “What did you say to him?”

Han Luofan repeated what he had said to Cai Jie angrily.

Hearing this, Cai Jie actually fell silent.

She sighed and said, “Xiao Fan, don’t talk about your father like that. There are some things you don’t know.”

“Everyone is saying that I don’t understand. Tell me, what is there that I don’t understand!” Han Luofan had had enough of his parents’ deliberately mystifying actions. They said that he didn’t understand, but who was willing to tell him the whole story? From his son’s point of view, what Han Luofan saw was Han Bing’s irresponsibility and Cai Jie’s weakness.

“Everyone is saying that I don’t understand. Tell me, what is there that I don’t understand!” Han Luofan had had enough of his parents deliberately mystifying actions. They said that he didn’t understand, but who was willing to tell him the whole story? From his son’s point of view, what Han Luofan saw was Han Bing’s irresponsibility and Cai Jie’s weakness.

When Han Luofan saw her silent appearance, he was furious.

“You’re always like this! His mind is filled with his dead first love. It’s fine if you’re not angry, but you’re still thinking about him everywhere!” Han Luofan especially wanted to see what was in his mother’s mind. Was it water? Or was it tofu?

“Do you even have the self-awareness of a wife!”

Hearing Han Luofan’s reprimand, Cai Jie opened her mouth. After a while, she said, “It’s not easy for your father either, really.”

Han Luofan was completely angry.

In his opinion, Cai Jie was completely hopeless and too weak.

He decided to give up trying to persuade her.

“Xiao Fan, come, have some soup.” Cai Jie made him radish pork ribs soup. The fragrance lingered in the room.

Han Luofan looked at the soup and felt that what he saw was not the soup, but the water in Cai Jie’s mind. He muttered unhappily, “Make less soup, read more books and television dramas, and watch those palace fights.”

With that, Han Luofan took the bowl of soup and drank it slowly.

At first, Cai Jie did not understand what Han Luofan meant. She was not a young person after all, and she could not associate ‘water’ with ‘brain’ for a while. She did not know if there was a saying—Did water enter your brain?

But she also knew that this was not a good thing.

Cai Jie looked at Han Luofan and hesitated.

After Han Luofan finished the soup, he looked up and saw Cai Jie packing the trash bag by the bed. He thought of Ji Yinbing’s words and stared at Cai Jie’s face. The more he looked at her, the more shocked Han Luofan was. He actually did not find any similarities to him on Cai Jie’s face.

Han Luofan’s heart sank.

He suppressed the ridiculous feeling in his heart and pretended to mention casually, “Mom, they say that it’s more fortunate for a son to look like a mother. I must be so unlucky because I don’t look like you.”

Cai smiled and said, “You look like your father. You’re just as lucky.”

Han Luofan snorted.

Cai Jie changed into the trash bag and straightened her back. Seeing that Han Luofan had already finished his soup, she took the bowl from behind.

Han Luofan handed the bowl to her. When he retracted his hand, he said in a joking tone, “Mom, could it be that I’m not your biological son?”

Just as he finished speaking, Han Luofan saw Cai Jie’s expression shake. Her hand trembled and the small bowl fell to the ground.

With a crack, the soup bowl shattered into many pieces.

The smile on Han Luofan’s face disappeared instantly.

He looked up at his mother and smiled. “Mom, I was joking. Why are you so nervous?”

Cai Jie replied in a panic, “It’s nothing. There’s oil on the soup bowl. My hand slipped.” Cai Jie turned around and looked at Han Luofan. She met a smiling face with deep eyes. Cai Jie was instantly flustered. She said, “I’ll go get a broom to clean up the pieces.”
