Chapter 364: 357, Domineering, Threatening Chen Ruixiang! (5)

Of course, Chen Ruixiang wouldn’t admit to borrowing money; he just kept shaking his head in denial, "I don’t owe you any money, and I didn’t damage your things, so stop pretending! I know you’re just here to vent about the exam! What happened has already happened, and there’s nothing I can do about it! Can’t you forgive me?"

"Stop pretending in front of me! I want you to pay back the money!"

Huo Feng pointed fiercely at Chen Ruixiang with one finger, "I’m telling you, I’ve been giving you face, not coming to your house to make a scene or asking your mom for money for a whole year! I’ve been lenient with you time and again because I know your family is poor! Yet, you framed me like this in the exam; I won’t leave you any face anymore! Today, in front of your mom, give me back the money! 40,000 yuan, plus interest, 50,000! If you don’t have 50,000 today, I’ll make your life miserable!"

With that, Huo Feng lost his temper and marched into the living room, grabbed a big bag of car parts, and flung it with his hand!

In that instant, the already assembled car parts clattered to the ground, mixing indistinguishably with the unassembled ones...

Wu Aidi, Chen Ruixiang’s mother, was both anxious and frightened, gripping Chen Ruixiang’s hand tightly, and said to him, "Ruixiang, what exactly is going on? Why have you never told me about this!"

"Mom, I didn’t smash his stuff."

Chen Ruixiang also looked worriedly at Huo Feng’s crazy actions, completely at a loss for what to do.

Pu Sangzhi too was frightened by Huo Feng’s outrageous behavior, couldn’t help but take a deep breath, her heart aching painfully!

Huo Feng was indeed formidable...

He perfectly demonstrated what a debt collector would do.

Seeing him making a scene in someone else’s home made Pu Sangzhi constantly remember the time in Shanghai, when she and her mother were also intimidated by such people...

These images were indeed a shadow in Pu Sangzhi’s heart.

"See that!"

Huo Feng turned around, glaring fiercely at them, "Want me to cause an even bigger scene? I’m telling you, Chen Ruixiang, you won’t get through today with a simple trick! Either pay back the money or the interest! Apologies won’t work!"

"Huo Feng, stop framing me! I know you’re upset with me because of the exam, but it’s too despicable of you to make up something about a camera!" Chen Ruixiang was already a bit angry.

It was true.

Huo Feng’s current behavior not only involved his family but had brought trouble to his home.

Looking at the car parts scattered all over the floor, both assembled and unassembled mixed together, which further added to his mother’s workload, Chen Ruixiang felt both angry and annoyed!

"You were despicable first in the exam!"

Huo Feng picked up a car part casually and hurled it towards Chen Ruixiang, "I don’t need to reason with a despicable person like you! Just pay me back! If not, I won’t leave your house today!"

The car part hit Chen Ruixiang, then fell to the ground, each small detail exuding insult.

Chen Ruixiang furrowed his brows, speaking anxiously, "You know I don’t owe you money! You’re going too far! Why must you involve my mom in everything!"

Huo Feng continued to point fiercely at Chen Ruixiang, his face fierce and teeth clenched, "Fine! If you don’t want to involve your mom, then show some sincerity!"

Chen Ruixiang took a deep breath, frowned, and asked, "What exactly do you want me to do?"

Just then, Pu Sangzhi quickly interjected before Huo Feng could speak, "Can you two go outside to talk? Chen Ruixiang, you know what Huo Feng wants! Don’t you want to protect your mom? Can’t you just take Huo Feng outside to talk at a time like this?"

Chen Ruixiang, already overwhelmed by Huo Feng’s chaos, had no way to cope.

Although Pu Sangzhi’s remark carried a tone of accusation, it was a hint for him.

Chen Ruixiang had no choice but to nod and compromise, proposing to Huo Feng, "Can we talk outside? I don’t want my family involved in this..."

"Fine!"

Huo Feng nodded agreeably but still issued a warning, "If you don’t come up with a solution to this matter, I’m telling you, I will come and make a scene again! I know your house!"

Having issued that warning, Huo Feng turned and walked out the door first.

Watching his swaggering departure, Chen Ruixiang heaved a long sigh, his brows tightly knitted.

"Hurry up and go!" Pu Sangzhi urged Chen Ruixiang.

Under Pu Sangzhi’s urging, Chen Ruixiang finally took heavy steps toward a direction he didn’t want to take at all, to face a person he really didn’t want to confront.

Wu Aidi worriedly called to Chen Ruixiang, "Ruixiang, speak nicely with your classmate! If it really comes down to it, we can just pay them! Just don’t get into a fight!"

Because Wu Aifen knew that with Chen Ruixiang’s physique, he stood no chance against the towering Huo Feng.

Pu Sangzhi gently patted Wu Aidi on the back, softly comforting her, "Auntie, it will be alright. Auntie, that classmate isn’t really that bad, he’s just angry. He won’t hit anyone, don’t worry."

Seeing Pu Sangzhi speak so reasonably, and with her elegant appearance, Wu Aidi took a liking to her and sincerely asked her, "Child, do you know what’s really going on here? Why has it suddenly come to this? Did Ruixiang break that person’s photographic equipment? He has never mentioned it to me..."

As for this lie, Pu Sangzhi truly didn’t know how to smooth things over for Huo Feng.

Pu Sangzhi was never one to lie, so she could only shake her head in response to Wu Aidi, "Auntie, Ruixiang will explain it to you. Why don’t you sit for a while..."

Saying this, Pu Sangzhi grabbed a chair nearby and urged Wu Aidi to sit down.

But Wu Aidi just couldn’t sit; she remained standing, nervously gazing outside...

Meanwhile, Pu Sangzhi had already squatted down, beginning to pick up the scattered car parts, stashing them into a woven bag.

Seeing Pu Sangzhi getting started, Wu Aidi also squatted down, picking up two different types of car parts to show Pu Sangzhi, "Look, these are the assembled ones, and these are not. They need to be packed into separate bags..."

Wu Aidi didn’t hold back, frankly accepting Pu Sangzhi’s help.

And, while waiting, she collected the scattered pieces on the ground together with Pu Sangzhi.

Did Pu Sangzhi understand what it meant for her to play the good cop on this visit?

Huo Feng just wanted to be the good guy, having someone to handle the aftermath properly so he could proceed with malice.

Although Pu Sangzhi found his feigned demeanor distasteful earlier, she thought to herself that after all, he was a deeply wronged person, merely reciprocating tooth for tooth, eye for an eye.

It wasn’t surprising that he would do such a thing, given his character.

That he brought her along to help manage the aftermath could actually be considered quite kind.

Back then, when Chen Ruixiang framed him, he hadn’t thought about him at all...

Thinking this, Pu Sangzhi felt that Huo Feng was far more kindhearted than Chen Ruixiang.

No matter what Huo Feng did, he still had his own limits, his own bottom line.

Chen Ruixiang, however, did not.

...

At that time, Chen Ruixiang was forced to confront Huo Feng outside.

In front of Chen Ruixiang, Huo Feng’s demeanor was still extremely hostile, his tone and expressions fierce!

He said to Chen Ruixiang, "Did you see the show just now? How do you feel about being wrongfully accused?"

Chen Ruixiang, with a stern face, looking uncomfortably at him, said only, "I know you want revenge. But what’s done is done, and revenge on me is pointless. Regarding the exam, I wronged you, and I apologize. I’m sorry..."

"Don’t!"

Huo Feng raised his hand to stop him, "I hate those who flippantly apologize. I’m telling you, Chen Ruixiang, this time you have insulted my integrity! Apologies are utterly useless!"

A wave of frustration crossed Chen Ruixiang’s mind, "Pu Sangzhi has already secured an opportunity for you to be exonerated. You just need to retake the math test on Monday, and the disciplinary action will be cancelled. I’ve had it no better... I not only faced disciplinary measures but also offended you. Don’t feel like I’ve been comfortable through all this."

"Your discomfort is your own doing!"

Huo Feng crossed his arms, giving Chen Ruixiang a look of disdain, "You cheated by tossing that note; that’s your own moral failing! You threw it near me, lied, and framed me! That’s your character flaw! Chen Ruixiang, I didn’t come here to discuss who feels comfortable and who doesn’t, I want the truth! Don’t think just because you got out of this mess, it’s all over. I freaking want the truth!"

Chen Ruixiang stood, overwhelmed by Huo Feng’s dominance, his head hung very low... very low...

He was feeling guilty.

He couldn’t be honest.

Because in this matter, he had already gained an early advantage...
