Chapter 38: Encounter

In the face of Fang Tianhe's accusations, Liu Hui remained unresponsive, harboring no good impression of his cousin.

During his childhood, Liu Hui was often bullied by him, and even as he grew up, every time he visited his grandfather's house, he would be mocked and taunted.

However, Liu Hui silently endured it all for the sake of his parents, afraid to tell his mother about it.

"Don't you feel ashamed?" Fang Tianhe, seeing Liu Hui's lack of reaction, couldn't help but grow angrier shouting loudly.

Liu Hui chuckled mockingly, looking at Fang Tianhe, "Ashamed? I make a living on my own, without doing anything harmful or unreasonable. Why should I feel ashamed?"

For a moment, Fang Tianhe was left speechless, and it took him some effort to come up with a reason.

"You... This isn't just your own matter you're bringing shame to our Fang family!"

Upon hearing Fang Tianhe mention the shame of the Fang family, Liu Hui couldn't contain his anger any longer.

"What a convenient excuse! Then let me ask you, when my father fell seriously ill and needed urgent treatment, and my mother went to your house to borrow money, only receiving two thousand yuan, where was the shame of the Fang family at that time?"

Fang Tianhe couldn't meet Liu Hui's gaze and took a step back.

Liu Hui stepped forward and shouted loudly, "On Chinese New Year's Eve, when our family gathered, your mother was aggressive and demanding, coming to collect debts. Where was the shame of the Fang family then?"

Fang Tianhe's face turned red, and he took another step back.

Liu Hui took another step forward, angrily proclaiming, "When we were living at our grandfather's house and your mother made sarcastic remarks, forcing us out of our own home, where was the shame of the Fang family?"

Fire seemed to ignite in Liu Hui's eyes, and Fang Tianhe couldn't help but lower his head, retreating another step.

Liu Hui, fueled by his anger, took another step forward.

"After we moved out of our grandfather's house, my mother couldn't find a job and asked for assistance from your father, but there was no response. Where was the shame of the Fang family then?"

Fang Tianhe had nowhere else to retreat and slumped down in a chair, unable to speak due to shame.

"Since you can't answer, what right do you have to talk about the shame of the Fang family in front of me?" Seeing Fang Tianhe's expression, Liu Hui didn't want to argue further with him and left in a huff.

After all, this was a feud between adults that shouldn't be blamed on Fang Tianhe.

"Tianhe, is your cousin so arrogant? He didn't give you any face at all. You should scold him for his behavior." The man in the white shirt from earlier smiled faintly.

Fang Tianhe felt awkward; his performance this time was terrible, and he lost points in front of Han Shao.

"My cousin wasn't like this before. I don't know what happened to him recently; it's like he's changed into a different person. I didn't react in time." He stuttered.

"We must pay attention to our image when we're outside. Incidents like today can't happen again. You should discuss it with your father and handle your family affairs well. If our own family is not in order, how can we manage the world?" The man in the white shirt advised Fang Tianhe meaningfully.

"That's right, Tianhe. Han Shao's words are wise. You must take them to heart," several people nearby chimed in.

Feeling aggrieved, Fang Tianhe realized that he had made a big mistake today and even received criticism from Han Shao.

However, he couldn't ignore Han Shao's words and could only nod repeatedly.

Initially, after hearing Liu Hui's questions, Fang Tianhe felt somewhat guilty.

But now, he harbored some resentment towards Liu Hui. Han Shao was the son of the mayor, and Fang Tianhe always followed his father's instructions to please Han Shao.

As a result, Liu Hui's words completely nullified his previous efforts, leaving a negative impression on Han Shao.

Fang Tianhe made up his mind to report everything to his father when he returned home and make sure Liu Hui would face some consequences.

"Hey, it seems like your cousin has gotten into trouble," the man in the white shirt, Han Shao, exclaimed.

Fang Tianhe quickly turned his head and saw Liu Hui arguing with a pale-faced man.

At that moment, Liu Hui was standing expressionless, facing the man in front of him, while Little Hong stood beside him, sobbing.

The pale-faced man pointed at Liu Hui with his finger, his expression ferocious, and shouted angrily, "You brat, get out of the way if you know what's good for you! Today, I will make that bitch pay and show him why the flower is so red!"

Liu Hui calmly said, "Remove your hand."

"I won't remove it! What can you do to me? Let me tell you, my uncle is the manager of this bar. If you dare to offend me, I can make you leave in a minute!" The pale-faced man's anger surged within him.

Originally, Little Hong accidentally spilled some red wine on his shoes, and he started reprimanding her, planning to scare her and taste her humiliation.

Unexpectedly, someone suddenly appeared and ruined his plan, questioning him loudly about why he was insulting Little Hong.

Damn it, a mere waiter dared to be arrogant in front of him, not knowing that his uncle was the bar's manager, Yang.

"Xiao Hui, please don't say anything more. This is all my fault," Little Hong trembled when she heard the manager's name, quickly grabbing Liu Hui.

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, a look of grievance on her face.

"Just because a little red wine spilled on your shoes? Who do you think you are, humiliating people so shamelessly? Little Hong has already apologized to you, so why are you still so aggressive?" Liu Hui prepared to seek justice for Little Hong.

"Why? Just because my uncle is the manager of this Sally Bar. I am going to teach her a lesson. What can you do to me?" The pale-faced man pointed at Little Hong with disdain.

"You brat, get out of the way, or I'll deal with you along with her," the pale-faced man said, his eyes looking up to the sky, as if he had already assumed that Liu Hui wouldn't dare to resist.

"I'll stay right here and see how you plan to deal with me," Liu Hui sneered.

He didn't expect to encounter such an unpleasant character on his first visit to the bar.

However, Little Hong had been kind to Tang Sufei and him, so he wouldn't just stand by and do nothing for her.

With his current strength, people in the underworld would take a detour when they saw him.

Biao-ge was still waiting for him to save his life.

How could he allow a mere manager's nephew from a bar to dictate to him?

"Not bad, I love it when things turn physical!" Liu Hui casually grabbed the pale-faced man's hand and forcefully pulled and twisted, causing him to fall to the ground.

"Stop! What are you all doing?" Suddenly, a voice shouted.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a man and a woman coming out of the manager's office on the second floor.

One of the women glared angrily at Liu Hui.
