Chapter 44

If it were in the past, when Xie Fei threw a punch, Lu Xin would definitely dodge, because although Xie Fei had thin arms and legs, his punches still hurt when they landed.

Now, when Xie Fei threw a punch, Lu Xin didn't even bother to dodge, because Xie Fei's punch felt like a fly landing on him. Lu Xin didn't even think of using a mosquito to describe Xie Fei's punch, because even a venomous mosquito's bite was still extremely painful.

Although Lu Xin didn't feel any pain from Xie Fei's punch, the humiliation of being hit without retaliation lingered in his heart. Lu Xin secretly vowed, "Xie Fei, you bastard, whatever force you use to hit me, I'll use the same force to hit your girlfriend Zhou Ya in the future!"

Now he had finally made up his mind; he would definitely make Xie Fei wear a green hat!

Xie Fei's punch landed on Lu Xin's shoulder, but Lu Xin didn't budge at all and didn't feel a bit of pain. Xie Fei, however, felt as if his hand had broken, and his entire hand swelled up. If he continued, Lu Xin would likely be unharmed, but Xie Fei himself would have to be hospitalized.

Xie Fei quickly stopped and pointed angrily at Lu Xin, "Lu, you wait, I'm not done with you!"

Xie Fei's fierce mother, Liu Jianhong, seeing her son stop, thought he was considering their colleague relationship and didn't want to hurt him. She didn't care about that and suddenly rushed forward, swinging her arm to slap Lu Xin's face.

Although Lu Xin wasn't worried about being hurt, he didn't want to be slapped by this witch. He quickly dodged, and the witch's slap landed on his shoulder.

"Ouch, ouch, it hurts so much!" Liu Jianhong cried out, shaking her hand. "Why is your flesh so hard, you brute?"

"It's not that my flesh is hard, it's that your bones are brittle. You need to take more calcium, old witch!" Although Lu Xin couldn't fight back openly, he didn't show any weakness in his words.

"You little bastard, you actually call me an old witch! I'll beat you to death! I'll have Xie Fei's uncle fire you!" The old witch wanted to slap Lu Xin again but was afraid of the same situation repeating, so she only dared to jump around and curse from the side.

Seeing more and more people gathering, Xie Fei was even more worried that Lu Xin might lose control and start fighting because of his mother's insults. He thought Lu Xin was well-trained and extremely muscular, and in a fight, he wouldn't be a match for Lu Xin. He pulled his mother aside and whispered, "Mom, this Lu Xin is not an ordinary person. He was introduced to the company by Jiang Xueqing. If we keep targeting him, and it gets back to Jiang Xueqing, it won't be good!"

Hearing her son's words, Liu Jianhong trembled and stopped cursing Lu Xin, turning her attention to Liu Xinmeng instead.

From the old witch's curses, Lu Xin vaguely guessed that Xie Fei's father, Xie Changsheng, was the vice president of the group who had been rumored to have a relationship with Liu Xinmeng. The Xie brothers were both vice presidents of the Sanjiang Group, and the Jiang, Li, and Xie families were the three major families of the group. However, because of Xie Changsheng's involvement with Liu Xinmeng, he was reported for misconduct and resigned in disgrace. Later, he started a small factory to supply the Sanjiang Group, but due to poor management, he didn't make much money. His wife, Liu Jianhong, seeing their good life gone, blamed everything on the "fox spirit" Liu Xinmeng.

This time, Liu Jianhong came to the hospital to visit her injured cousin, Liu Jianhui. When Liu Xinmeng saw Liu Jianhong enter, she quickly turned her head away. Liu Jianhong didn't see Liu Xinmeng's face and kept complaining to Liu Jianhui about her current miserable life, how her relatives and friends no longer visited, and how people were fickle. She also said that Xie Changsheng wasn't cut out to be a boss and that his downfall was all because of the "fox spirit" Liu Xinmeng. "If I see her, I'll scratch her face and peel her skin off."

Liu Jianhui was already annoyed by his cousin's constant complaints, which had lasted for two hours. Suddenly, he heard Liu Xinmeng's name and had a wicked idea. He called Xie Fei over and quietly pointed to Liu Xinmeng, who was sitting with her back to them, and wrote "Liu Xinmeng" in Xie Fei's palm.

Xie Fei pointed to Liu Xinmeng's back and told his mother, "That woman is Liu Xinmeng!"

Liu Jianhong then went wild, cursing Liu Xinmeng.

Half an hour later, Lu Xin arrived and got into a conflict with Liu Jianhong and Xie Fei.

Seeing more and more people peering in like ducks, Lu Xin coldly snorted at Xie Fei, "Xie Fei, it doesn't seem good for your reputation if this gets out. Do you really want everyone in the company to know you're Xie Changsheng's son? You should take your mother home!"

Xie Changsheng's resignation due to misconduct was already the best outcome, as the company's disciplinary committee had already found him guilty of financial misconduct but didn't pursue it further due to his cousin's influence. However, the group was already buzzing with rumors that Xie Changsheng was a big embezzler and a major parasite of the Sanjiang Group. Xie Fei had been relatively low-key, only saying he was a distant nephew of Xie Changrong and not mentioning he was Xie Changsheng's son, so not many people targeted him. But if it became known that he was Xie Changsheng's son, he would face the collective disdain of the middle and lower ranks of the Sanjiang Group.

Xie Fei's face stiffened, and he quickly dragged his mother, Liu Jianhong, out of the ward.

Lu Xin watched Xie Fei's retreating back and narrowed his eyes. "Xie Fei, you bastard, thank you for those two punches, and thank your mother for that one punch and all the curses. I'll definitely give you a green hat as a reward someday. Just wait."

However, the issue between men and women was complicated. Lu Xin had no successful dating experience and little confidence in his ability to charm women. He wanted to get back at Xie Fei by seducing Zhou Ya, but whether he would succeed was uncertain, and even if he did, it was unclear when it would happen.

Lu Xin's hatred for Xie Fei had reached a point where he couldn't be happy without revenge, but how could he take revenge? Chasing after Xie Fei and beating him up would only play into Liu Jianhui's hands.

He looked back at the three people in the room: Liu Xinmeng was still covering her face and crying, Li Li was sleeping with her head covered, and Liu Jianhui was pretending to sleep, annoyed that his scheme had been foiled by Lu Xin.

Lu Xin walked to the window and looked out at the dark night, thinking about how he could find an opportunity to take revenge on Xie Fei and vent his anger as quickly as possible.

Bathed in the light from the first-floor lobby, Lu Xin saw Xie Fei squatting to tie his shoelaces, his butt sticking up high. Damn, if this guy were in prison, he'd definitely be forced to pick up soap every day.

If he had a steel bar in his hand right now, Lu Xin would have wanted to shove it into Xie Fei's ass.

He looked around the ward, but there were no sticks. On the floor, he saw a shiny object. Oh, it was another needle. This hospital's management was really problematic, leaving used needles on the floor.

Recalling how he had used a needle to prick Li Qiming's ankle yesterday, Lu Xin had a sudden idea. He could use this needle to prick Xie Fei's butt. If he could hit a certain acupoint, making Xie Fei impotent, his plan to make him wear a green hat would be more likely to succeed.
