The two characters "Wen Xu" felt like a curse as if they had picked a fight with Bai Jicheng.
Bai Jicheng thought he had misheard and asked again, "Who did you just say? Wen Xu?"
"Yes, it's Wen Xu."
This time, Bai Jicheng was truly angered.
He paced around the living room with one hand on his hip while his wife, who had been anxious for a while, asked, "What happened to Shu Xing again? Who did he fight with? The other person isn't dead, are they? As long as no one's dead, we can talk it out."
Listening to his wife's endless nagging, Bai Jicheng snapped, "He got into a fight with Wen Xu!"
"Ah? Wen Xu?" Madam Bai was startled, "How did those two get mixed up together?"
Bai Jicheng retorted in anger, "You're asking me? This great son of yours, you've pampered him too much, at 25 or 26 years old he's still not doing anything proper, and you have the face to ask me?"
Madam Bai was scolded for no good reason and felt wronged.
