Chapter 1206
As soon as he said this, the man’s gaze finally wavered.
“Are you really Jesse’s disciple?”
Melody Fox nodded and took out a photo of the clothes he had made during the Insterimond university exam.
The man only took a glance before his eyes widened. “French embroidery… You, you’re really Jesse’s disciple!” “Yes.” Melody Fox nodded and said apologetically, “Master left Fox days ago. I should have come to send her off for the last time, but I was still in seclusion in the mountains. I only came today.”
The man shook his head. “It’s not your fault. You’re already very considerate to be here.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and said, “I forgot to introduce myself. Hello, my name is Ci Shang. I’m sorry, I can’t get out of bed with my current body…”
“You’re welcome. I happen to know a little about medicine. If you don’t mind, can I take your pulse?”
“Of course, I’m just too embarrassed…”
“It’s nothing. You’re Master’s family, so you’re my family. This is what I should do.”
Only then did Ci Shang extend his hand.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you…”
Melody Fox pressed the other party’s pulse and took it carefully.
Little Ci Mu wasn’t idle either. She went to pour two glasses of water. She handed one to Aaron Berg and placed the
other beside Melody Fox.
Melody Fox shot him a grateful look before continuing to take his pulse.
After a moment, she let go.
Ci Shang sent Ci Mu away before asking, “Miss Fox, is my illness… incurable? How many days do I have left? Just tell me.”
Melody Fox smiled and said, “Your illness, Janet Murphy,
can be cured. Moreover, it can be cured today.”
Ci Shang’s eyes instantly widened.
His voice trembled as he asked, “Is, is what you said true?”
“Of course, I never lie.”
“Then what’s wrong with me…”
“Your illness is similar to convulsion. It’s both Yangwang’s internal heat and internal heat that produces the wind. It’s a problem with your spleen. As time passes, you’ll become thinner and thinner until your spleen is overheated and your liver fails and dies.”
Melody Fox said as he took out a pill and handed it to Ci Shang.
“I happen to have a medicine that can strengthen the spleen and liver. After taking it, it will be effective with my acupuncture treatment.”
Ci Shang was pleasantly surprised. He did not care about Melody Fox’s medical skills. He took the pill and swallowed it.
He had thought that his days were not long. Now that
Melody Fox said so, it naturally became his last hope for survival.
He had to grab this life-saving straw no matter what.
Melody Fox was followed by acupuncture for nine-line acupuncture.
In the end, he wrote down a prescription for the Cleansing Fire Scattering Wind Soup and handed it to Ci Shang.
“You should be much better now. At night, follow this prescription and fry it every day. In less than three days, your illness will completely recover.”
Ci Shang indeed felt that his entire body was unobstructed.
He was overjoyed. He lifted the blanket and was about to kneel and kowtow to Melody Fox to thank her for saving his life.
Melody Fox quickly asked Aaron Berg to pull Ci Shang, who was about to kowtow, up.
“Mr. Ci, you don’t have to be so polite. I’ve already said that you’re Master’s family, so you’re my family. This is nothing.”
Ci Shang nodded with red eyes. “Thank you, but I still have to thank you… I have nothing to repay you for saving my life. If you need me in the future, Miss Fox, as long as I can do it, I will do my best!”
Melody Fox nodded and said, “You’re welcome. Hurry up and get up.”
That was why Ci Shang did not insist on kneeling and kowtowing to Melody Fox.
“Oh right.” Ci Shang asked, “You just said that my illness is similar to convulsion. Does that mean that I’m not the convulsion you mentioned? My health has always been good, but there’s suddenly been a problem in the past two years. Even if we go to the hospital to check, we won’t be able to find the cause of the illness. I just have to rely on eating Dr. Baxter77585… I wonder how my illness is caused? I’ll be more careful in the future.”
Melody Fox said, “That’s right. Your symptoms and treatment methods are indeed treated according to convulsion’s disease, but you’re indeed not convulsion’s disease. convulsion’s disease is caused by your body, but your convulsion’s disease is caused by humans.”
Zishang was a very smart person.
He immediately understood the meaning behind Melody Fox’s words. His eyelids twitched violently.
“Are you saying that I was poisoned?”
“That’s right.”
Ci Shang’s eyes widened.
“How, how could this be… I, Ping, treat people very well. I don’t have any enemies…”
Melody Fox narrowed his eyes and asked, “No enemies might be because you think there are no enemies. Think about it carefully. Is there anyone who has a lot of interest and conflict with you?”
“Benefits…”
As Ci Shang pondered, his expression suddenly changed.
Melody Fox observed Zishang’s expression and asked, “Did you think of someone?”
Ci Shang hesitated and said, “The only person who has a conflict of interest with me is my brother… But my brother probably won’t treat me like this.”
Melody Fox said indifferently, “That’s not necessarily true. To be honest, I just saw two brothers fighting for the inheritance yesterday. One of them was willing to take the other’s life. Think about it carefully. Is your brother really not suspicious?”
Ci Shang was different from Tong Qizhen. Although he was also passionate and kind, he would not blindly trust a person.
After some thought, Ci Shang said, “Before I became like this, it was indeed my elder brother who treated me to a meal. After I returned home after that meal, my body slowly deteriorated. Moreover, after I fell sick, my elder brother used the reason that my illness might be contagious to move me to this side courtyard…”
Melody Fox asked, “Are the assets left behind by my master also in your brother’s hands?”
“Well… he’s the eldest brother in the family. Jesse has no husband and no descendants. Logically speaking, Jesse should be distributed by him.”
“And how much did you get assigned?”
Ci Shang fell silent.
Melody Fox sneered and said, “It seems that you didn’t get any assets at all. Otherwise, why would it be difficult to even gather the children’s tuition fees?”
Ci Shang asked in shock, “Mumu doesn’t have the money to pay the tuition fees?”
“Don’t you know?”
“Big Brother clearly said that he would take responsibility for my medical fees and my wife’s and daughter’s expenses…”
Melody Fox shook his head helplessly. “It seems that your wife doesn’t want these things to affect your mood, so she has been hiding it from you.”
Ci Shang clenched her fists and said, “I’ll go find him now!” “There’s no hurry.” Melody Fox stopped Ci Shang and said, ” Your body has just recovered and you’ve just undergone acupuncture. It’s not appropriate for you to get out of bed immediately. My acupuncture technique is rather special. You have to lie in bed and recuperate for at least Fox before you can get out of bed.”
Ci Shang wanted to question his brother immediately, but when he heard this, he could only lie back on the bed obediently.
“Oh right.” Melody Fox asked, “Do you know that your family now charges admission fees for anyone who enters their house?”
Ci Shang had just laid down when he heard this and immediately sat up again.
“What did you say?! Tickets?”
Chapter 1207
“Jesse has always kept a low profile. Isn’t he ruining Jesse’s reputation?!”
When Melody Fox saw Ci Shang’s reaction, he understood that all of this was done by Big Brother Ci Shang. It was obvious that Ci Shang was unaware.
If Ci Shang knew about this, he would not have ended up like this.
However, Melody Fox also understood Zishang’s wife’s actions.
Her husband was seriously ill in bed. If the treatment was ineffective, it would be beneficial to his body if he was stimulated by the outside world.
If Melody Fox did not know any medical skills and was not confident that he could cure Ci Shang, then as a guest, she did not dare to tell Ci Shang about External conflict for fear of aggravating his condition.
“Don’t be agitated. The most important reason why I asked you to lie in bed and recuperate is because you can’t be too emotional. Fire hurts your liver. Your liver isn’t good to begin with.”
She patted Ci Shang’s shoulder and told him to lie back down.
Ci Shang could only let out a heavy breath and lie back down.
Coincidentally, Ci Mu came over with a plate of sliced watermelons.
Melody Fox rubbed Little Ci Mu’s head and said to Ci Shang, “Let Mumu call your wife over. You two should have a lot to talk about.”
“Mumu, go and find Mommy. Tell her that Dad has something urgent to talk to her about.”
“Good!”
Ci Mu was very well-behaved. After responding, she jogged out.
Melody Fox spoke again, “Then I’ll take my leave first. I also have to go to the front hall to take a look. I won’t allow
anyone to maliciously destroy Master’s reputation, including her family!”
“I’ll be right there!”
“At least a little Fox.”
“Okay, Miss Fox.”
After bidding farewell to Ci Shang, Melody Fox brought Aaron Berg to the front hall.
On the way, Melody Fox reminded Aaron Berg, “Send someone to investigate if Ci Shang was poisoned by his brother.”
Aaron Berg was stunned and said, “It’s been so long since Room Fox. I don’t know how to investigate it. Where should I start? If I really want to investigate, I’m afraid I’ll have to waste a lot of Room Fox.”
Melody Fox wagged his index finger.
“There’s no need to spend a lot of Fox rooms. Follow the Fox rooms where Ci Shang fell ill and check if our black market sold a poison called ‘Nine Flavors Fire’ during those days. Following this line, you should be able to find it very quickly.”
Aaron Berg could not help but ask in confusion, “You mean that Ci Shang’s poison came from our black market?” “That’s right. When I followed Yolanda Fox to the black market, Fox, I accidentally saw the Nine Flavors Fire. This poison comes from Myanmar. Other than the black market, you can only go to Myanmar to buy it yourself. According to Brother Cishang’s personality, it’s impossible for him to go to Myanmar personally, so it’s very likely that he bought the medicine from the black market.”
“Yes, I’ll give the order to have them investigate immediately.”
“Yeah.”
The front hall was the main venue of the event.
This place had been swept clean and the decorations were very new. There were flowers, wine, and desserts scattered everywhere. In the middle was Ci Yu’s photo.
Only those with invitations could enter this place.
Melody Fox knew that Ci Yu disliked flowers the most because she was allergic to pollen.
Ci Shang’s eldest brother, Ci Gaoyang, did not seem to have arrived yet. However, there were many guests, including people whom Melody Fox had seen in the Tong family yesterday.
Melody Fox glanced around. After confirming that Ci Gaoyang had not arrived, he wanted to find a place to wait for him.
However, at this moment, a familiar voice sounded from behind her.
“Why are you here? Why are you everywhere?”
Melody Fox turned around instinctively and saw Tong Li, who had appeared out of nowhere, staring at her with an unfriendly gaze.
Unlike yesterday’s plain mourning clothes, Tong Li was wearing a bright-colored gown today. She had exaggerated makeup on, and her heavy makeup was not as pleasing to the eye as yesterday.
Moreover, it had to be said that Tong Li’s aesthetic taste was really bad. Be it her clothes or makeup, they were all over Fox years old.
That thick smoky makeup could even touch the eyes of a non-mainstream.
Yesterday, if Tong Li was not still young, Old Mr. Tong felt that she could still turn over a new leaf. Tong Li would have been chased out of the house by now.
However, looking at the way Tong Li looked at him, although she had experienced yesterday’s incident, she did not seem to have done any reflection or self-reflection.
It was easy to turn over a new leaf, but it was not as easy as Janet Murphy.
Melody Fox did not have a good impression of Tong Jiaxuan and Tong Li, so he glanced at Tong Li expressionlessly and looked away, ignoring Tong Li.
She was here on official business, not to “catch up” with someone like Tong Li.
However, Melody Fox’s attitude made Tong Li even angrier.
As if her tail had been stepped on, she walked a few steps to Melody Fox and waited for her. “I’m talking to you. Are you deaf?”
Melody Fox asked impatiently, “Why can’t I be here?”
Tong Li sneered and said, “You can only enter this place with an invitation letter. Do you have an invitation letter? Don’t tell me you didn’t sneak in?”
Although she did not know how someone like Melody Fox got to know Ken Swanson, she knew that the Fox family had long been ruined.
The people in town even said that the Fox family was about to go bankrupt. It was also for this reason that Maria Fox moved back to Jinxiu Town from Silverlake.
The Ci Family was the most realistic. They would never invite the Fox family people who had fallen from grace.
Therefore, Tong Li’s first reaction was that Melody Fox had sneaked in.
Melody Fox sneered and said, “Even if I snuck in, what does it have to do with you? Tong Li, mind your own business. Do you know what Old Mr. Tong will think when you say these words in front of me? No matter how bad I am, I’m still your grandfather’s savior. Aren’t you afraid that he will blame you if he finds out?”
Tong Li’s expression instantly froze.
She said with an ugly expression, “Don’t use Grandpa to threaten me! I’m his biological granddaughter, and you’re just an outsider! Won’t he blame his biological granddaughter for this outsider?!”
Melody Fox snorted and said, “Is that so? Then why was your father chased out of the house? Isn’t he, your grandfather’s biological son?”
At the mention of Tong Jiaxuan, Tong Li’s defense was broken.
“Shut up! Bitch! Shut up! If it weren’t for you, my father wouldn’t have been chased out of the house by Grandpa. All of this is because of you! You’re the culprit!”
If it weren’t for Melody Fox, Grandpa would have been buried by now.
The Tong family also belonged to her and her father. How did the father and daughter end up in such a state? Last night, she did not even dare to leave the house, afraid that her grandfather would chase her and her father out.
It was all Melody Fox’s fault!
“I’m telling you, people like you who can’t stand to see other people’s families doing well are like street rats. No one will like you.”
“A rat like you should hide at home. Don’t come out and embarrass yourself. It makes people feel disgusted!”
“I advise you to leave automatically and disappear from my sight before I report you.”
Chapter 1208
Melody Fox looked at Tong Li as if she was an idiot.
‘I have an invitation. You have no right to ask me to leave.’
Tong Li sneered and said, “It’s useless even if you have an invitation. I have a good relationship with the Ci Family. As long as I say the word, they will chase you out. However, if you kneel down and kowtow to me now, say that you’re wrong, and swear never to get involved in our family’s matters again, I’ll allow you to stay here. Otherwise… you can just wait for you to sweep the floor!” Melody Fox had an indifferent expression.
“Then give it a try. Not only are you not qualified to make me leave, but the Ci Family is also not qualified.”
“What a joke!” Tong Li laughed when she heard that. “Don’t you think you’re too ridiculous? Where do you think this is? Is this your Fox family’s territory? You actually have the cheek to say that the Ci Family doesn’t have the right to chase you out. To think that Grandpa has always praised you. In my opinion, you’re an arrogant and stupid pig!”
Melody Fox glanced at Tong Li coldly and decided to ignore her.
Tong Li wanted to continue mocking Melody Fox, but she saw Aaron Berg, who was beside her, take two steps forward. That scary scar-faced man was facing her, scaring Tong Li so much that she subconsciously swallowed.
She took two steps back and only spoke again after confirming that it was a safe distance. “Since you’re so confident, give it a try! Let’s see if I can chase you out of here!”
Melody Fox still ignored her. This time, he did not even lift his eyelids.
“Damn it! We’ll see! But don’t blame me for not warning you in advance when you’re kicked out later. I gave you a chance. You brought this on yourself!”
Tong Li left with a belly full of anger.
She hated Melody Fox to begin with. She hated her for saving Old Mr. Tong.
It caused her and her father to be chased out of the house. One was forced to be cautious and even hesitated for a long time before she dared to speak to her grandfather.
Of course, she hated Melody Fox even more for always ignoring her.
Such a person should be stepped on and taught a lesson!
No, that’s not right. A piece of trash like Melody Fox shouldn’t even be alive in this world!
Aaron Berg watched as Tong Li left arrogantly. He asked Melody Fox in a low voice, “Miss Fox, do you want me to…” Melody Fox knew what Aaron Berg meant.
However, Tong Li was not worth their effort.
“There’s no need. She’s just a grasshopper after autumn. If Old Mr. Tong finds out about her actions, she won’t be able to jump around for long.”
“Yes, but she said that she has a close relationship with Ci. If she really wants to chase us out…”
“Don’t be afraid. Since Fox dared to say that to her, I naturally have a backup plan.”
However, she did not want to use this method at first, nor did she care to use it.
However, if the Ci Family really wanted to chase her out, there was no need for her to show them mercy.
“Yes.”
When Aaron Berg saw that Melody Fox was so certain, he did not say anything else.
Melody Fox raised his wrist and looked at his watch.
According to the invitation letter, there were Fox rooms, and half of the Fox commemorative event had officially begun.
It seemed that Ci Gaoyang would only appear after the event began.
“There are still more than Fox rooms. Let’s walk around. I want to take a look at the Master’s room.”
“Alright, this way.” Aaron Berg had carefully checked the Ci Family’s information, including the Ci Family’s residence, so he knew the approximate location of Ci Yu’s room.
Aaron Berg pointed in a direction. Melody Fox nodded slightly and walked in the direction Aaron Berg pointed.
However, before the two of them could take two steps, Tong Li appeared with a tall and thin girl dressed exquisitely.
According to the information, Melody Fox recognized that this girl was Ci Gaoyang’s only daughter, Ci Luo.
Ci Luo was as old as Melody Fox. She was wearing a fiery red waist-length dress today, and her entire body emitted an arrogant aura.
The moment he saw Ci Luo’s outfit, Melody Fox’s expression turned cold.
Today was Ci Yu’s commemoration, but this Ci Luo was actually dressed so formally. She really treated the commemoration as a tool to earn money.
Just as Room 468277 was sizing up Ci Luo, Tong Li said provocatively, “Melody Fox, this is the eldest daughter of the Ci Family and my good sister.”
Melody Fox did not say a word. He just looked at the two of them coldly.
Ci Luo’s expression instantly turned ugly.
Tong Li lowered her head and knew that Ci Luo was unhappy. She took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. Melody Fox, are you deaf? I’ve already introduced her to you. She’s the eldest daughter of the Ci Family. Why aren’t you greeting her when you see the master coming? Don’t you even have the basic manners and upbringing?”
Ci Luo raised her chin high, clearly waiting for Melody Fox to take the initiative to greet her.
Melody Fox sneered.
“Politeness and upbringing? I’m sorry, but my mother died early. No one taught me manners and manners.”
“You…”
Before Tong Li could finish speaking, Melody Fox continued, “Miss Ci, your parents are still alive, so you should be very polite and well-mannered. However, today is the anniversary of your aunt’s death, but you’re wearing a red dress… May I ask where your manners and upbringing are?”
Ci Luo had been pampered since she was young and was used to being arrogant and despotic. When had she ever been scolded for being rude and ill-mannered?
After being stunned for a moment, her expression immediately changed and her eyes narrowed coldly.
“Who do you think you are?! How dare you speak to me like that?”
Tong Li took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
“Luoluo, you don’t know this. Just now, she was already disrespectful to me. When I brought you out, she completely disregarded you, so I went to look for you. I didn’t expect that she would dare to say such things to you in front of you. Such a condescending fellow, quickly teach her a lesson and throw her out of the house!”
Ci Luo looked at Melody Fox as if she was looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
She was only angry for a while before she quickly calmed down and stared at Melody Fox with disdain.
“B*tch, where did you come from? Do you know whose territory this is? How dare you look down on me!”
“If I don’t teach you a lesson today, people will think that I, Ci Luo, am easy to bully!”
“Originally, I only wanted to chase you out just now, but since you’re so arrogant, I have to teach you a lesson today before chasing you away.”
Ci Luo crossed her arms and said in a condescending manner, “However, I’m not such an unreasonable person. I can give you a chance.”
“Oh?” Melody Fox asked sarcastically, “What chance?”
Ci Luo thought that Melody Fox was afraid, so she immediately curled her lips.
“You’ve made me unhappy. I’m a magnanimous person and can forgive you this time.”
“However, I’m the most protective person. You made my friend Li unhappy, so you have to pay a small price.” “The price is… as long as you kowtow to Li and say, ‘Miss Tong, I was wrong. I won’t dare to do it again’, I’ll pretend that what you did to me didn’t happen and let you continue to stay here.”
Chapter 1209
Ci Luo chuckled and said, “How is it? I didn’t make things too difficult for you, right? After all, compared to me teaching you a lesson, kowtowing and admitting your mistake is nothing. You won’t hurt a single hair.”
“But if you don’t obey… then don’t blame me for not giving you a chance to atone.”
Ci Luo’s face was filled with a contemptuous smile. She did not treat Melody Fox as an equal at all.
It was as if kowtowing and admitting his mistake would not damage his pride at all.
After all, in Ci Luo’s opinion, lowly people had no self-esteem at all.
“You can’t win an arm over a thigh. I’m sure you’re a smart man. You’ll make the right choice. Right?”
Tong Li had someone backing her up, so she wasn’t afraid of the bodyguards brought by Melody Fox.
She took a step forward proudly and said, “Melody Fox, you have to consider it carefully. I’ll remind you again out of kindness. The last person who offended Luoluo is still lying in the hospital and can’t take care of himself. However, if you want to be the second, I won’t stop you.”
As Tong Li spoke, she looked at Melody Fox provocatively.
Wasn’t he very arrogant?
With Ci Luo around, she wanted to see how this ugly monster could be so arrogant.
Ci Luo also raised her chin high, looking extremely arrogant.
It was as if bullying someone until they couldn’t take care of themselves was a very honorable thing.
Melody Fox silently watched their performance and said in amusement, “Birds of a feather flock together.”
Tong Li’s face darkened.
“Damn it, what do you mean?! Luoluo, look at her. It’s fine if she doesn’t take me seriously, but she actually dares to scold you too. Aren’t you going to deal with such a person?” Ci Luo narrowed her eyes coldly.
“Your name is Melody Fox, right? Very good. You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. You’re dead meat today!”
Melody Fox had gradually lost his patience.
“Are you two done fooling around? I still have things to do. I don’t have the time to argue with you here.”
“Make a scene? Do you think I’m making a scene with you? Looks like you won’t shed a tear until you see the yellow river! I have to teach you a lesson today to vent my anger!” Ci Luo’s anger rose.
She walked towards Melody Fox in two steps and raised her hand to slap him.
But why would Melody Fox let her hit and scold him?
She turned sideways to avoid Ci Luo’s slap. Then, she turned around and kicked Ci Luo’s waist.
“Ah-“
Ci Luo screamed in pain and pounced forward.
Fortunately, Tong Li was quick enough to run up and grab Ci Luo’s hand. Only then did Ci Luo fall flat on her face.
Even so, Ci Luo still felt a dull pain in her waist.
“Lolo, are you okay?”
Tong Li’s tone was filled with worry, but she was extremely happy.
Melody Fox was really a stupid pig!
He actually dared to attack Ci Luo. He was simply courting death!
Ci Luo was famous for her bad temper. Even he, who had always been domineering, was a little afraid of her.
However, Melody Fox just had to kick Ci Luo. Wasn’t this courting death?
Hahahaha, it seemed that it was impossible for Melody Fox to walk out of the Ci Family today.
“Go away!” Ci Luo was so angry that her nose was almost crooked.
She was furious. She pushed Tong Li away and glared at Melody Fox. “B*tch! You’re dead!”
“Alright, I’ll wait and see how you’re going to make me die.” Melody Fox crossed his arms calmly.
She did not want to be entangled with them, but since they insisted on provoking her, she would accompany them to the end!
In any case, it was indeed time to deal with the Ci Family. “Damn it! How dare you look down on me!”
Ci Luo gritted her teeth in anger.
However, she knew that she was no match for Melody Fox, so this time, Ci Luo did not attack personally. Instead, she shouted, “Guards! Teach this troublemaker a lesson!”
However, as soon as she finished speaking, a slap landed heavily on Ci Luo’s face.
Ci Luo screamed in pain.
“Ah!!!”
“Damn b*tch! How dare you slap me!”
She subconsciously covered her face and glared at Melody Fox. However, she realized that the person who suddenly appeared in front of her and slapped her was not Melody Fox, but Ci Shang!
She needed to call this man Second Uncle, who had not gotten out of bed for a long time.
Ci Luo widened her eyes in shock. Her eyes were filled with shock. She had even forgotten the pain on her face.
Wasn’t Ci Shang going to die soon? Why was he here? And he seemed… to be in good spirits?
However, this was not the main point. The main point was that he was fine. What right did he have to hit her?
Even if he was her second uncle, he had no right to attack her for no reason!
When Melody Fox saw Zishang, she also showed a hint of surprise.
However, when she saw the red-eyed Marquis Fox, who had clearly just cried, behind Ci Shang, she immediately
understood everything.
It seemed that after his wife found out that he had recovered from his illness, she told Ci Shang about the so-called injustice and grievances she had suffered over the years.
Therefore, Ci Shang could no longer lie down and directly walked to the front hall.
Coincidentally, he happened to see Ci Luo ordering the bodyguards to teach her a lesson.
As a doctor, Melody Fox naturally hoped that he could continue to stay in bed and recuperate for a while.
However, if she were Melody Fox, she wouldn’t be able to lie down either, so she might as well let him be. Anyway, with her around, nothing would happen to Ci Shang’s body.
Melody Fox was about to speak when he heard Ci Luo scream at Ci Shang, “Damn it! What right do you have to hit me?! Even my parents didn’t hit me. What right do you have to hit me?”
Ci Shang looked at Ci Luo coldly.
Although he was as thin as a matchstick because of his illness, he still had an aura around him.
Melody Fox had learned that Ci Shang was a teacher in Silken Town before he fell ill. Teachers had a skill that could intimidate people with their eyes, making it impossible for people to ignore his existence.
Ci Luo subconsciously took two steps back under Ci Shang’s gaze.
Ci Shang said coldly, “Why should I hit you? Because I’m your second uncle! Since Ci Gaoyang doesn’t discipline you properly, I’ll help him discipline you!”
Ci Luo clenched her fists tightly and said resentfully, “Even if you’re my second uncle, you can’t hit me indiscriminately!” “Ha! Since you think that I hit you indiscriminately, I’ll make it clear to you! I hit you first because you’re arrogant and domineering, and you never care about the occasion when you do things. Secondly, on such an important day, you actually wear such colored clothes and have no respect for your deceased aunt! Thirdly, and most importantly, you shouldn’t be rude to your distinguished guest at home!”
Ci Shang was a teacher after all. Her words were very logical. In just a few seconds, she listed three charges for Ci Luo.
Ci Luo’s expression changed again and again, and she felt a little guilty.
However, when she heard the last sentence of Ci Shang, her eyes widened.
“What did you say? An esteemed guest of the family? You said that she… is an esteemed guest of the family?”
Chapter 1210
“That’s right!”
Ci Shang said with a serious expression, “She’s our family’s esteemed guest. Even if we chase the emperor out today, we can’t chase her out!”
Ci Luo could not help but look at Tong Li suspiciously.
“Didn’t you say that her family was in dire straits and was about to go bankrupt? That she wasn’t favored at home and was a dispensable existence?”
Tong Li immediately said, “I’m telling the truth. Her family is really going bankrupt. Not long ago, her family’s Maria Fox
was forced to return to the countryside from Silverlake because of this.”
Ci Luo still believed Tong Li’s words.
“Got it.”
As she spoke, she sneered and said to Ci Shang, an Esteemed guest? Then why haven’t I heard of such an esteemed guest today? May I ask what kind of esteemed guest she is?”
Without waiting for Ci Shang to speak, Ci Luo suddenly slapped her head and looked at the couple with a faint smile. “Oh… I understand now. I was wondering why I haven’t seen you for so many years, Second Uncle. It turns out that you’re hiding a woman in a golden house and have someone outside! Sister-in-law is really magnanimous to allow two women to serve one husband.”
In the next second, Ci Shanggao raised his hand and slapped Ci Luo again at lightning speed.
This slap was much heavier than before.
Ci Luo’s face was slapped to the side, and her cheek swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ci Luo felt a numbing pain on her face, which made her even angrier.
“Damn it! How dare you slap me twice for a b*tch!”
“I called you Second Uncle to give you spaghetti stones. Do you really think you can teach me a lesson as you please?”
“Let me tell you, your family relied on my parents to support you. Otherwise, you would have starved to death on the streets!”
“You’d better apologize to me now and personally chase that b*tch out. Otherwise, I’ll get my parents to chase your entire family out of my house!”
“You’d better learn to behave like your wife and lower your head! Otherwise, I’ll definitely do what I say!”
Ci Shang’s face was ashen.
He looked at his wife with tears in his eyes.
“Is this the kind of life you’ve had in the years I’ve been ill?” Although his wife had just told him many things that could anger him to death, he did not expect that even a junior like Ci Luo could bully his wife.
All these years, how much had his wife and daughter suffered without him knowing?!
When Ci Shang’s wife heard this, she lowered her head and silently cried. She had already tacitly agreed.
Ci Luo raised her chin proudly and said, “It seems that you don’t know anything about your family when you’re raising a woman outside. Now that you know, you should know how to treat me.”
“Bastard!”
Ci Shang raised her hand and slapped Ci Luo again.
Ci Luo’s face was already swollen from the slap. Now, it was even more obvious. She looked like a pig’s head. “You-“
“Ci Luo! You’re so young and you don’t even know how to respect your elders. Since that’s the case, I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents today!”
Ci Shang grabbed Ci Luo’s arm and reached out to teach her a lesson.
Tong Li quickly went forward and grabbed Ci Shang’s hand.
“Uncle, calm down! There’s no need for you to get into a conflict with your family over an outsider!”
Tong Li’s persuasion on spaghetti was actually continuously fanning the flames.
Of course, the bigger the matter, the better.
After all, this was not her home.
After the commotion, Melody Fox would not be able to escape.
As Tong Li persuaded Ci Shang not to do anything, she said to Ci Luo, “Luoluo, don’t get into a conflict with your second uncle. He’s your elder after all. Apologize to your second uncle first. We’ll talk about other things slowly. There’s nothing that a family can’t communicate with.”
“Shut up!”
Ci Luo stopped Tong Li’s words. She glared at Ci Shang and shouted, “Someone! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and hold him down! My parents are the ones paying you, not him! If you want to continue working at home, come over quickly!”
When the bodyguards heard this, they subconsciously wanted to rush over.
However, they had only taken two steps when they were frightened by Ci Shang’s gaze.
“How dare you! Ci Gaoyang doesn’t have the final say in this family! I enjoy the same authority over all the assets of the Ci Family, including your salaried bodyguards!”
As soon as he said this, the bodyguards did not dare to act rashly.
However, there were also people who were in the mood to work hard. When no one was paying attention, they secretly ran out to call Ci Gaoyang.
Aaron Berg, on the other hand, noticed it and asked Melody Fox in a low voice if he wanted to stop the messenger.
Melody Fox shook his head gently and said, “No need. He’s here to settle the matter in one go.”
“Yes…”
Over there.
Ci Luo used all her strength to shake off Ci Shang. After breaking free from his grip, she said, “What do you mean by enjoying the same power? Bullsh*t! My father is the eldest brother in the family. All the assets are distributed by him!”
Ci Shang’s body had not fully recovered yet. Coupled with her skinny body, she was almost thrown to the ground by Ci Luo.
Fortunately, his wife was quick to catch him, so he did not fall to the ground in a sorry state.
Ci Luo said arrogantly again, “I’ll ask you one last time. Do you really want to turn against our family for such a b*tch? Let me remind you that if you continue to be stubborn, you’ Il definitely regret it when my parents come!”
The surrounding guests whispered among themselves, but most of them were displeased with Ci Luo’s attitude.
“How dare a junior speak to his second uncle like this? How ill-mannered is he?”
“Such a rude and unreasonable attitude. It’s as if Ci Shang is a dog of their family.”
“I heard that Ci Shang has been bedridden all these years. Has he recovered today? He looks so thin… But it’s been so many years. The assets of the Ci family should be firmly in Ci Gaoyang’s hands, right?”
“You can’t say that. All these years, Ci Shang has been bedridden. Ci Gaoyang’s family has been taking care of everything. If not for Ci Gaoyang, our family would have been defeated long ago.”
“But no matter what, she can’t speak to her elders like this! Which junior wants to sweep their elders clean? Aren’t they afraid of being struck by lightning?”
Some of the whispers reached Ci Luo’s ears.
She glared at him fiercely.
“Shut up! It’s not up to you outsiders to interfere in our family’s matters.”
Everyone fell silent.
Although they were dissatisfied, Ci Luo was right. This was indeed a family matter of the Ci Family. Outsiders like them had no right to interfere.
Ci Luo snorted in disdain when she saw them quieten down.
She knew that none of these people would dare to say anything bad about her.
Chapter 1211
Her aunt was the most famous person in Silken Town. In all of Halcyon, she was extremely respected. Whoever dared to provoke her would be bullying Ci Yu’s descendant! They would be struck by lightning!
However, this Ci Shang family was indeed an eyesore!
With Ci Shang and Ci Mu around, she wouldn’t be Ci Yu’s only descendant.
He might as well take advantage of this time to deal with it in one go!
Thinking of this, Ci Luo’s eyes lit up.
However, they were family after all. She was still willing to give Ci Shang one last chance.
Therefore, Ci Luo asked again, “Let me ask you, do you really want to…”
“Shut up!”
Ci Shang interrupted Ci Luo angrily and said, “If I hear you call me ‘slut’ again, I’ll beat you up every time I hear you! At Fox, don’t blame me for being ruthless as your second uncle and making you unable to speak again!”
“How dare you! How dare you hit me again?”
“You can try if I dare to hit you!” Ci Shang was about to walk towards Ci Luo.
However, at this moment, a strong voice sounded.
“Who dares to hit my daughter?!”
Ci Shang subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ci Gaoyang running over while panting.
The moment he saw Ci Gaoyang, Ci Shang’s expression immediately became complicated.
After Ci Gaoyang took a closer look, he was stunned on the spot.
When the bodyguard ran over to report that Ci Shang had hit Ci Luo in the front hall, he did not believe it.
Ci Shang could not live past these two months. It was impossible for him to have the strength to walk to the front hall. With Ci Shang’s personality, it was even more impossible for him to hit Ci Luo.
Therefore, he thought that the bodyguard had not seen Ci Shang for too long and had mistaken her for someone else.
However, when he heard that his daughter had been beaten up, he still rushed over.
Unexpectedly, Ci Shang really appeared in the front hall! What shocked him even more was that Ci Shang looked very energetic.
Although Ci Shang still looked like a bag of bones, his entire state was completely different from the Fox marquises he visited last week.
He felt a sense of panic.
‘What happened?’
Why did Ci Shang suddenly become so cautious? He could even stand firmly on his own?
Could it be that his “illness” had been cured?
But… this shouldn’t be the case!
Just as Ci Gaoyang was feeling complicated, Ci Luo ran excitedly to Ci Gaoyang spaghetti.
She pointed at her face and accused Ci Shang with an aggrieved expression.
“Dad, Second Uncle didn’t distinguish between right and wrong. He hit me for an outsider who came out of nowhere! He even hit me several times! Look at my face. My face is swollen. I don’t know if it will be disfigured! Dad, you have to seek justice for me!”
Ci Gaoyang finally recovered from his shock.
He looked at Ci Luo and saw that her face was really swollen and there was an obvious palm print on her face. He frowned in heartache.
He only had one child, Ci Luo. Even Ping was afraid of him.
Now that Ci Luo was beaten up so badly, how could he not feel heartache?
However, the person who hit her was Ci Shang, so Ci Gaoyang endured it and did not flare up immediately.
“Go and treat your injuries first. Use ice to apply on your face and reduce the swelling. I’ll deal with it here.” “Oh…”
Ci Luo agreed, but she did not leave.
This was because she had to see Ci Shang’s family being chased out with her own eyes to vent the hatred in her heart.
Seeing that Ci Luo did not leave, Tong Li walked to Ci Luo’s side and pretended to be apologetic. “I’m sorry, Luo Luo. I really didn’t expect to cause you so much trouble. It’s all my fault. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have troubled you… What’s wrong with being bullied by her? It’s better than causing trouble for your family like this.”
Ci Luo had originally blamed Tong Li.
However, Tong Li’s words made her even more dissatisfied with Melody Fox.
She pretended to be angry and glared at Tong Li. “What are you talking about? We’re friends. Your business is my business. What’s so troublesome about it?”
“Besides, this b*tch actually dares to look down on me! I don’t know how she found my second uncle as her backer…”
“But it doesn’t matter. My father is here. He will definitely seek justice for us!”
“Even if it’s Second Uncle, he can’t protect her. I must make her pay for the grievances I suffered just now!”
Ci Luo gritted her teeth, and Tong Li could not help but smile coldly.
Idiot. He didn’t even know that he was being used by her.
Fortunately, she had a tool like Ci Luo. Otherwise, she would not have been able to get back to Melody Fox today.
She did not know who this b*tch was. She could even invite
Ci Shang, who had not been on the road for a long time, spoke up for her.
However, the person in charge of the Ci Family was Ci Gaoyang. It was useless for Ci Shang to protect her.
There was only one outcome for her, and that was to be taught a harsh lesson and then thrown out of the Ci Family!
At the thought of this scene, Tong Li felt a sense of joy in her heart.
Hurry up and teach Melody Fox a lesson. She really couldn’t wait.
On the other side.
Ci Gaoyang did not notice that Ci Luo had not left at all. He forced a smile and walked to Ci Shang spaghetti. “Zishang, are you feeling better? Can you get out of bed now?”
In the end, Ci Shang did not give Ci Gaoyang a hard time. However, there was still no expression on his face. He said calmly, “It’s better.”
“As long as it’s better.”
Ci Gaoyang smiled, but he could clearly feel that Ci Shang’s attitude towards him was different from before.
However, he remained calm and asked, “Luoluo has indeed been spoiled by me. She only knows how to throw a tantrum. I’ll have to correct her sooner or later.”
As he spoke, he suddenly changed the topic and said, ” However, Luoluo is still a child after all and has been pampered since she was young. If she did something
wrong, you can just reason with her. Why do you have to hit her? And you’re so ruthless. She’s your biological niece! Don’t you think so?”
Ci Shang frowned and explained, “I know she’s my
biological niece. I treat her the same as I treat Mumu. But
she went too far today! If I don’t teach her a lesson, she won’t learn her lesson.”
The smile on Ci Gaoyang’s face faded.
“But, Ci Shang, even if you want to teach Ci Luo a lesson, it’s more appropriate for me, as her father, to do so, right? I wonder what kind of disaster she caused to make you, her second uncle, teach her a lesson on behalf of me, her biological father?”
Ci Gaoyang’s tone was filled with protectiveness.
Disappointment was evident on Ci Shang’s face.
“Brother, I thought that Room 1 Fox would ask for the reason, but I didn’t expect your first reaction to be to blame me. I think it has something to do with you that Ci Luo has become so unreasonable.”
Ci Gaoyang asked unhappily, “Then tell me, what made you disregard kinship and beat my daughter up like this!”
Chapter 1212
Ci Shang was about to speak when Melody Fox spoke first,” It’s because of me.”
It was not until Fox that Ci Gaoyang noticed the existence of Melody Fox.
He sized up Melody Fox. After confirming that he had never seen her before, he frowned suspiciously and asked, “Who are you?”
Cishang introduced on behalf of Melody Fox, “Her surname is Fox, and her name is Melody Fox. Jesse is her master.” Ci Gaoyang was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud.
He patted Ci Shang’s shoulder and said, “Second Brother, why do you even believe such nonsense? Ever since Jesse passed away, countless people have come to say that her disciple wanted to curry favor with her. There are at least 80 if not 100. Why do you even believe such words?”
After saying that, Ci Gaoyang shook his head and said, “It’s fine if you believe her nonsense easily, but you actually hit Luoluo because of such a liar. I think you should quickly apologize to Luoluo, lest you, her second uncle, lose your dignity in her eyes.”
Ci Shang said with an ugly expression, “Miss Fox, she’s not a liar. She’s really Jesse’s disciple. I’ve seen her work. She does know French embroidery and her embroidery skills are very exquisite. She’s even more than Jesse.
Ci Gaoyang shook his head again.
“Second Brother, you’ve been sick for too long. You don’t know how dangerous society has become. If she wants to fake it, there are many ways.”
“Did you forget that Jesse did mention to us before she left that she took in a young lady as her disciple? That young lady is her! The ‘Melody’ that she often talked about surpassing her master!”
Ci Gaoyang recalled for a moment.
Melody…
Melody Fox…
His heart tightened and he finally began to size up Melody Fox.
The woman’s face was covered in red spots. Her face was really unsightly.
However, this aura did not seem like an ordinary person.
However, Ci Gaoyang quickly made up his mind.
Even if the other party was really Ci Yu’s disciple, he would not admit his identity.
Who knew if she was here to take advantage of the
situation or to covet the huge assets left behind by Ci Yu?
Thinking of this, Ci Gaoyang lied through his teeth, “What Melody? I don’t remember such a thing!”
“You-“
Ci Luo also walked forward.
“Dad, don’t talk so much. Beat this troublemaker up and throw him out!”
Zishang spaghetti’s color sank, blocking in front of Melody Foxspaghetti.
“Let’s see who dares!”
“Dad…”
Ci Luo tugged at Ci Gaoyang’s sleeve and urged, “Hurry up and chase this b*tch out!”
“Ci Luo!” Ci Shang took a few steps forward and slapped Ci Luo’s face again.
“I think you don’t have any memory at all. Have you forgotten what I just said? I’ll hit you once if you scold Miss Fox! Looks like you really don’t remember to eat!”
Ci Luo covered her face. She could not believe that Ci Gaoyang still dared to hit her when he was present. “Dad!!!”
Ci Gaoyang narrowed his eyes and looked at Ci Shang coldly.
“Ci Shang, what do you mean? How can you hit my
daughter in front of my spaghetti? You’re slapping my face! Looks like you’re really going to fall out with our family for a liar! Or are you the one who invited this person to use her to fight for our family’s assets?”
Ci Shang originally wanted to give Ci Gaoyang spaghetti stones.
He did not want to openly fall out with Ci Gaoyang in front of so many outsiders.
But now, he was really annoyed!
“The family’s assets? Ci Gaoyang, ask yourself this. Have I touched even a single cent of the inheritance left behind by Jesse? Didn’t all this money enter your pocket when I was sick?”
When Ci Gaoyang felt the gazes of the people around him, his expression changed drastically.
“Ci Shang! What the f*ck are you talking about?! The money of Jesse is indeed with me, but I’ve never used it on myself. It’s all used to protect the works she left behind and the repair of the house! You’ve never been in charge of the matters in the house. You don’t know anything at all. Stop defaming me here!”
“Is that so? If that’s the case, why did you charge everyone their tickets when they came here to visit? Isn’t this also sucking Jesse’s blood? You clearly know that Jesse is the most low-key and never earns money that she shouldn’t have. The money she earns is all earned by her own ability. If she was alive, she would never allow such a thing to happen!”
Ci Gaoyang was not in a hurry and retorted, “Do you know how much Jesse yuan is left? She loves doing charity the most. When she was alive, she had already donated most of her money. There’s not much left. If I don’t charge tickets, how can my family repair it? This family has long been ruined!”
Ci Gaoyang’s righteous manner made Ci Shang so angry that he could barely speak.
Melody Fox patted Ci Shang’s arm, indicating that he should speak.
She looked at Ci Gaoyang with a faint smile and said, “Are you sure Master didn’t leave much money behind? Did you really not spend a single cent of the money Master left behind on yourself?”
“No! Not a single point!” Ci Gaoyang glared at Melody Fox and said, “Also, don’t talk about masters here. No one is your master!”
Melody Fox said noncommittally, “Words are useless. Please take out the account book. Since the money was spent on this family, there must be an account book or a spending record, right?”
Ci Gaoyang’s eyes widened. “There’s no account book! Even if there is, why should I show it to an outsider like you?”
“Dad, don’t talk nonsense with her. Just teach her a lesson and throw her out!” Ci Luo quickly added fuel to the fire.
Ci Gaoyang was also very annoyed that Melody Fox had been aggressive and asking about the money.
Therefore, when he heard Ci Luo’s words, he immediately ordered, “The few of you, attack together. Push her to the ground and tie her up!”
“Yes!”
“Stop! Let’s see who dares!” Ci Shang spread his thin arms and said, “Whoever dares to touch her will have to step over my corpse!”
Zishang’s wife was also on the same side as Zishang.
Although she did not say anything, the two steps closer to Melody Fox explained everything.
“The two of you… are you really going to go against me today? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll beat you up too?”
Ci Shang said coldly, “I’m not going against you. I just want to make things clear! As long as you explain the matter clearly, I won’t waste my breath on you! Just like Miss Fox said, please take out the account book immediately!” Ci Gaoyang was furious.
“Alright, you’re very good! I was wondering why an unknown disciple suddenly appeared. It seems that this was all
planned by the two of you!”
As Ci Gaoyang spoke, he said to the onlookers, “Everyone, open your eyes and take a look! Look at how this younger brother of mine connects with outsiders to bully this older brother of mine! Everyone, do you think I should teach a lesson to a guy who only cares about money and doesn’t have any kinship?!”
Chapter 1213
The audience who did not know the truth was stirred up by Ci Gaoyang.
“If he’s really hired to help fight for the assets, such a person really needs to be taught a lesson.”
“Sigh, people nowadays don’t even care about their blood brothers for money! If their parents were still alive, how sad would they be?”
“Ci Shang, aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning? It’s time for you to reflect on yourself!”
“I heard that you’re sick. If you’re kinder, you might not be sick.”
Ci Shang’s expression was cold as he explained loudly, Everyone, don’t listen to him. It’s not what he said at all!” Ci Gaoyang directly interrupted Ci Shang. “If I didn’t say that, then what? Stop quibbling! As the eldest brother in the family, I want to teach you a lesson on behalf of my parents who passed away early! Men, all of you, attack! Tie up those guys who colluded with them to destroy the Ci Family! I want to teach them a lesson personally!”
“Yes!”
With Ci Gaoyang’s personal order, the bodyguards no longer hesitated and charged toward Melody Fox, Ci Shang, and the others aggressively.
“Stop! Stop right there!”
Ci Shang did not expect Ci Gaoyang to really attack him. He immediately glared angrily.
“Ci Gaoyang, don’t go too far!”
Ci Gaoyang sneered and said, “You’re the one who went overboard first. I won’t watch you destroy the Ci Family. I’ll educate you on behalf of my parents!”
Ci Gaoyang spoke righteously, as if Ci Shang and the others were the heinous ones.
Seeing that the bodyguards were approaching, Ci Shang admitted that his stamina was not good. He turned to
Melody Fox and said, “Miss Fox, I can’t protect you for long. Run!”
Melody Fox smiled gently and said, “There is no such thing as ‘run’ in my world.”
After saying that, she exchanged glances with Aaron Berg and attacked the bodyguards together with Fox.
By the time the bodyguards reacted, the two of them had already arrived behind them.
Before they could do anything, Melody Fox and Aaron Berg had already punched them one by one.
With every punch, one would fall.
No one could last more than three rounds against them.
In less than a minute, the bodyguards were lying on the ground and wailing. Some of them even lost their senses and fainted.
Ci Gaoyang’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“How could this be…”
He was furious and anxious. He shouted at the bodyguards, “Get up! All of you, get up! Are you all useless?!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Aaron Berg had already arrived in front of Ci Gaoyang spaghetti. He grabbed his neck and lifted him off the ground with one hand.
The suffocating feeling made his entire face turn purple-red.
“Ugh, ah…” He could not make a sound and could only struggle with all his might.
However, these struggles were all in vain.
Just as Ci Gaoyang was about to faint from suffocation, Melody Fox calmly said, “Put it down!”
“Yes!”
Aaron Berg responded and threw Ci Gaoyang to the ground. “Dad!”
Ci Luo ran over to help Ci Gaoyang up with lingering fear.
“Dad! Are you alright?!”
“Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough…” Ci Gaoyang was breathing heavily and coughing non-stop. He could not speak at all, and his expression was not much better than before.
Ci Luo glared at Melody Fox angrily.
“B*tch! How dare you…”
**TIP**
Melody Fox slapped Ci Luo hard in the face.
She was naturally much stronger than Zishang, who had just recovered from a serious illness.
Ci Luo felt her ears buzzing. She had been beaten so badly that she could not hear anything for a long time. She was stunned.
Melody Fox’s cold gaze was like a knife on Ci Luo’s face. “Looks like you really don’t understand human language! I’m not someone you can scold casually!”
Ci Luo opened her mouth. Although she was furious, she did not dare to say another word.
When Tong Li saw this scene, she was so frightened that she wanted to take the opportunity to slip out.
However, she had only taken two steps when Aaron Berg dragged her back like a little chick and threw her in front of Melody Foxspaghetti.
Tong Li lost her balance and knelt down in front of Melody Fox.
Melody Fox’s dark eyes were deep and cold, scaring Tong Li out of her wits.
“No…
Tong Li was terrified.
She stammered, “Don’t hit me, don’t hit me… It’s Ciluo who wants to teach you a lesson. It has nothing to do with me!”
“What did you say?!” Ci Luo widened her eyes and stared at Tong Li. “How dare you say that to me! If you hadn’t provoked me in front of spaghetti, I wouldn’t even know
who she was! How dare you say that to me now! I’ll kill you!”
Ci Luo could not control the anger in her heart and pounced on Tong Li.
Ci Luo grabbed Tong Li’s hair and screamed, “Ah-“
After all, Tong Li was raised by the Tong Family’s noble Jin Zunyu. When had someone scratched her hair like this? Soon, she began to retaliate.
The two women were entangled in a fight. They grabbed each other’s hair and faces. A fight between two women was more exciting than a fight between men.
Melody Fox was happy to see this dogfight and did not stop it.
Ci Gaoyang finally recovered from the suffocation and shouted, “Stop! Both of you, stop! Stop fighting!”
Under his control, the two women finally stopped fighting. However, when Fox stood up, both of their hair was like chicken coop hair. They were both disheveled and ridiculous.
Melody Fox had seen enough drama.
She raised her voice and said, “Ci Gaoyang, I don’t want to waste Fox rooms with you here. Hurry up and hand over the account book!”
Ci Gaoyang stared at Melody Fox with fear and anger. “What account book? There’s no account book at all!”
“Is that so? Then take out the card containing Master’s assets and the list of fixed assets.”
“Impossible! I won’t give it to a liar like you even if I die!”
Melody Fox said coldly, “I’m not a liar. I’m Master’s last disciple and her only disciple. If you don’t believe me, I can show you my French embroidery.”
“You don’t have to show it to me. I won’t believe it even if I see it! You must have forged French embroidery through some information. Don’t think that everyone is a fool and will believe your nonsense!”
Melody Fox narrowed his eyes dangerously.
She knew that Ci Gaoyang did not want to admit it on
purpose. He probably already felt that she was really Ci Yu’
s disciple.
Melody Fox was about to speak when a young female voice sounded.
“Uncle, I have evidence to prove that Eldest Sister is indeed
Aunt’s disciple!”
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
Ci Shang’s daughter, Ci Mu, appeared at the entrance of the front hall.
When Ci Shang’s wife saw Ci Mu, she was afraid that she would be hurt, so she quickly said, “What are you doing here? Didn’t Mom tell you to stay in the room obediently? Go back quickly!”
His daughter was not old enough to go to primary school.
It would leave a shadow in her heart to see her uncle and father in such a state!
Chapter 1214
Ci Shang’s wife loved her daughter dearly, so she opened her mouth to ask Little Ci Mu to leave.
No matter how dirty the world of adults was, it could not destroy the perfect world in the hearts of children…
This was an adult’s lie and also an adult’s love.
However, at this moment, Ci Shang said, “Mumu, come here!” Ci Shang’s wife, Du Qing, could not help but look at him. “Honey…”
Ci Shang shook her head at Du Qing and said, “Mumu has matured since she was young. She’s more mature and strong than you and I imagined. We have to believe her. Perhaps she can really help us. Moreover, with me around, I won’t let Mumu get hurt.”
As a father, he would not let his daughter be hurt even if he had to risk his life.
Unless Ci Gaoyang was really arrogant enough to kill him in front of so many people.
Hearing this, Du Qing could only nod silently.
Ci Mu received permission and quickly ran to Ci Shang’s side.
Ci Shang held Ci Mu’s hand and asked, “Mumu, you said that you have evidence. Can you tell me what evidence it is?”
Although Little Ci Mu was not in primary school yet, she was already very sensible.
She nodded and took out the photo she had found in Ci Yu’s room. She raised her hand and said, “There’s a photo of Aunt and Big Sister here!”
Ci Shang took the photo and took a closer look. There was indeed a photo of Melody Fox and Ci Yu on spaghetti.
In the photo, Ci Yu was teaching Melody Fox embroidery step by step.
Of course, this did not directly prove that Melody Fox was Ci Yu’s disciple.
Ci Gaoyang also saw the photo in the photo. He snorted and said, “This can at most prove that she knows Jesse!”
Ci Shang frowned deeply and was about to retort when at Fox, Ci Mu reminded him, “Dad, there’s a line of words behind the photo.”
Ci Shang quickly flipped over the photo and saw a small line of words on the photo: “Year Xxx, a photo of me and my disciple.”
Melody Fox smiled and said, “This was taken by another master not long after Master took me in as his disciple.” The other master was naturally Quintin Parker.
Ci Shang recalled, “This photo was taken seems to be the when Jesse went out to seek treatment…”
Melody Fox nodded and said, “Master Ciyu found another master who practices medicine to treat her illness. That’s how she got to know me.”
Ci Shang nodded and said, “This way, everything will make sense.”
As he spoke, he held up the words spaghetti behind the photo and said to Ci Gaoyang, “Do you see this? This is Jesse’s handwriting. You and I should be able to recognize it. What else do you have to say now?”
Ci Gaoyang panicked for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and continued to lie through his teeth.
“This doesn’t prove anything at all. The handwriting can be faked, and the photos can be photoshopped. Since you’ve carefully planned it, you’ll naturally prepare these things in advance.”
After Ci Gaoyang finished speaking, he looked at Ci Mu shamelessly and said, “Tsk tsk, I really didn’t expect that in order to obtain Jesse’s inheritance, you would actually let such a young daughter cooperate with you in acting and lying. Ci Shang, you were a teacher of the people in the past. How could you have the cheek to do such a thing?”
“What did you say?!”
Ci Shang clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could punch Ci Gaoyang in the face.
He did not expect Ci Gaoyang to still deny it even after he had produced such evidence!
He finally realized that it was not that Ci Gaoyang did not believe that Melody Fox was Ci Yu’s disciple, but that even if he believed it, he would not admit it.
It seemed that Ci Gaoyang had really changed.
Become profit-oriented.
As for his poison, it seemed like there was a high chance that it was really caused by the benevolent Yang.
The big brother who would stand up for him when he was bullied was no longer the same as before.
He was bitterly disappointed.
Ci Shang felt a chill in his heart.
“Big Brother, you’ve actually become such a person… Or have you always been such a person? It’s just that I didn’t see you clearly before? I’m simply too disappointed in you!” Ci Gaoyang snorted coldly from the tip of his nose.
“Why? Are you disappointed that I wasn’t deceived by the two of you?”
“You know best whether I’m lying to you or not! I don’t want to talk to you about this anymore. Take out the account book immediately! From today onwards, the inheritance left behind by Jesse must be notarized. Let the officials supervise it and let this money be used where it should be used, not by you alone!”
Ci Gaoyang said with a dark expression, “Stop slandering me! What do you mean by official supervision? I think this official is referring to you! Let me tell you, don’t even think about it!”
“You…”
“Mr. Ci.” Melody Fox stopped Ci Shang who was about to flare up and said, “Don’t be anxious. I still have something here. Perhaps if Mr. Ci Gaoyang sees it, he will know who should distribute Master’s inheritance.”
“What is it?” Ci Shang asked.
Ci Gaoyang frowned and had a bad premonition.
Without waiting for Melody Fox to take something out, he quickly sent a message on his phone.
Fox, Melody Fox took out his phone and opened a video file in his email.
She turned the volume of her phone to the maximum and raised it. “Everyone, please look!”
In the next second, a video of Ciyu appeared on Melody Fox’s phone screen.
“Ci Yu! It’s Master Ci Yu!”
“It’s really her…”
Everyone became excited.
Almost everyone present today was Ci Yu’s fan and admirer, so when they saw Ci Yu in the video, they couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
In the video, Ciyu spaghetti’s skin was yellow and thin, but she still forced herself to sit up and said to the camera, Melody, I recorded this video for you because I felt that my lifespan was coming to an end.”
“Please don’t be sad for me when you hear this. I, your master, have lived a wonderful life and have no regrets.” Melody Fox’s eyes reddened.
She had watched this video many times, but every time she saw the Fox video, she still felt a lump in her throat.
Ci Yu continued, “But there’s still one thing I can’t let go of, and that’s my family… Just treat these words as my will!” Ci Shang’s expression did not change, but her eyes were slightly red.
When Ci Gaoyang heard the word “will”, he looked nervous.
“I don’t have children or a lover, but I have two brothers, so I plan to give them my inheritance to improve their lives. The money I left behind is enough for them to live comfortably for three generations.”
“It’s just that my two brothers have different personalities.
If they quarrel over the inheritance in the future and the inheritance doesn’t get along with them, I’ll give you the right to deal with the inheritance. You have the right to deal with all the assets I left behind. You can either distribute them to them, give them to you, use them to promote French embroidery, or donate them all to you…”
Chapter 1215
When he heard Ci Yu say that she would hand over the inheritance to Melody Fox, Ci Gaoyang’s eyes widened in disbelief and jealousy.
Compared to his biological brother, Ci Yu actually wanted to hand over the inheritance to this girl who was not related to her by blood?
This was simply outrageous!
Did Ci Yu think that Fox was seriously ill and that she had lost her mind?!
The video was still playing.
“I believe that you won’t have any selfish motives when dealing with this matter. Therefore, I’m confident that I can leave the inheritance to you. I’ve also contacted Lawyer Qian Xiang from Silken Town. If this really happens, go to him. He has a list of my inheritance. Moreover, I’ve already gone through all the will procedures. This video has legal benefits.”
“I just hope you don’t have to use this video one day.”
“Lastly, I’ll say this. I’m very gratified and proud to know you and take you in as my disciple. I believe that you won’t let French embroidery fall just like that.”
“Goodbye, Melody. I hope everything goes well for you in the future.”
The video came to an abrupt end.
After a moment of silence, a loud discussion broke out.
“Oh my god, she’s really Master Ci Yu’s disciple! Is French embroidery going to be revived?”
“That’s great! French embroidery is the legacy of the world, our Halcyon treasure! I thought it was going to disappear forever, but I didn’t expect there to be a successor! Today’s trip was really worth it!”
“Miss, your surname is Fox, right? Can I have one of your business cards?”
“In that case, Master Ci Yu’s assets will belong to this Miss Fox?”
“Master Ci Yu… I actually saw a video that Master Ci Yu didn’t publicize. I’m so excited! It’s really heartbreaking to see Master Ci Yu in her Fox state!”
“Grandmaster Ci Yu still has foresight. She knew that her two brothers might have a dispute over her inheritance, so she did this. Brilliant, truly brilliant!”
Ci Gaoyang’s face was livid. He could not take it anymore and roared, “Enough! Shut up!”
The room scene fell silent.
Ci Gaoyang glared at Melody Fox and said, “You’re just an outsider. You have no right to snatch anything from our Ci Family!”
Melody Foxspaghetti said expressionlessly, “I had no intention of taking any of Master’s assets. If I wanted her assets, I could have come to Jinxiu Town early to publicize this video and look for the lawyer mentioned in the video. But because of what you did, I changed my mind. I decided to contact that lawyer and redistribute Master’s inheritance.” Ci Gaoyang gritted his teeth.
“In your dreams! Don’t even think about it! I won’t let you take a single cent from the family!”
Melody Fox sneered and said, “That’s not up to you to decide. You’ve seen the video. I have the legal right to dispose of Master’s inheritance.”
Right at Fox, hurried footsteps sounded.
A group of young men with cigarettes in their mouths ran in with sticks and other things in their hands.
They stood behind Ci Gaoyang the moment they arrived. It was obvious that Ci Gaoyang had called them over.
When Ci Gaoyang saw that the person he had called over had arrived, he felt more confident.
He said arrogantly, “Legal disposition? That depends on whether you can walk out of my house today and find a lawyer.”
After saying that, Ci Gaoyang said to the guests, “Everyone, there are family matters to deal with today. I don’t want to hurt the innocent. Please keep your mouths shut and leave. Otherwise… rods have no eyes. If I accidentally hurt you, don’t blame me for not warning you in advance.”
Everyone looked at each other. Although they felt that Ci Gaoyang had gone overboard, no one wanted to be implicated in this situation.
Just as everyone was about to leave, a slightly old voice sounded.
“I didn’t expect it to be so lively here!”
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
An old man with a walking stick appeared at the door. Beside him stood a tall and handsome man.
The man was wearing a white shirt with Janet Murphy buttons. The top button was spaghetti buttons. The cuff of his right hand was rolled up at his forearm, revealing his strong arm.
His spaghetti face was well-defined, his facial features were well-defined, and his nose bridge was straight. His deep black eyes seemed to have magic, attracting people uncontrollably. At first glance, he looked like a peerless work of art by God.
All the ladies present felt their hearts flutter at the man’s handsomeness.
“What a handsome man! Who is he? Why haven’t I seen him before?”
“Are they celebrities? Did the Ci Family invite celebrities to participate in the commemoration?”
“Judging from his looks and temperament, he doesn’t look like a celebrity. He looks more like a noble big shot…”
The women did so, but the men’s attention was more focused on the old man than the man.
“Old Mr. Tong?”
Even Ci Gaoyang was surprised and subconsciously
revealed a fawning smile.
When Tong Li saw Mr. Tong appear, she was so frightened that her face instantly turned pale.
If there was a crack in the ground, she wished she could crawl into it immediately.
“Old Mr. Tong, why are you here?”
Ci Gaoyang said obsequiously, “Unfortunately, there was a mistake in today’s event, so it ended early. I’ll inform you about the next event at Fox PM.”
Old Mr. Tong sneered and said, “I’m not here to participate in the event.”
Ci Gaoyang subconsciously glanced at Melody Fox.
Could it be that… this wretched girl was even related to Old Mr. Tong?
He asked warily, “Then you’re…”
Old Mr. Tong’s gaze swept past Ci Gaoyang and landed on Tong Li, who wished she could hide.
“I heard that my disappointing granddaughter is looking for trouble with my savior again, so I specially came to catch her.”
When Ci Gaoyang heard that Old Mr. Tong was only here to look for Tong Li, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Old Mr. Tong’s status in Jinxiu Town was not inferior to the mayor of Jinxiu Town. If Old Mr. Tong had the intention to help Melody Fox, he really did not know what to do.
Thank goodness, thank goodness…
He wanted to send Old Mr. Tong away as soon as possible, so he quickly followed Old Mr. Tong’s words and said, “It’s inevitable for children to do something wrong. Who is the savior you’re talking about…? Perhaps I can help resolve the misunderstanding.”
After settling this, Old Mr. Tong should leave.
Therefore, it was better to resolve it as soon as possible.
Old Mr. Tong did not answer Ci Gaoyang’s question. Instead, he said to Tong Li, “Evil creature! Hurry up and apologize to Miss Fox!”
Ci Gaoyang was stunned.
Miss Fox…
Which Miss Fox?
Could it be…
Before he could look at Melody Fox, he saw Tong Li trembling as she came to Melody Fox without any unnecessary words, she said, “I’m sorry, I was wrong…” Ci Gaoyang’s eyes instantly widened.
Melody Fox was actually Old Mr. Tong’s savior!
