Quick Wear: Don't come over here, you are looking for trouble

Xu Bai didn't wait for Fang Jiaxu's butterfly cake.

The person he was waiting for was Fang Xiong, the old man of the Fang family.

He was very impressive and brought a team of guards with him, which scared Wang Ping quite a bit.

"What's wrong? Who are you--?" Wang Ping didn't know this person, but he was extremely afraid of the bulging guns on their waists.

"I'm Fang Xiong, the principal of the Beihuai Military Academy." Fang Xiong was obviously quite old, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, completely different from Fang Jiaxu's childish appearance.

Wang Ping's heart skipped a beat and he knew it was all over. The person who came had bad intentions and was probably coming to call him to task.

"Master Fang, hello, Master Fang." He almost knelt down and kowtowed, cursing Xu Bai in his heart for causing such a big mess, "Why are you here this time?"

"There's a guy called Yun Sheng. I'm here to meet him."

"No problem, no problem!" Wang Ping quickly ordered someone to call Xu Bai, "Go call Yun Sheng! Go quickly!"

Nowadays, Yun Sheng’s performances are mostly performed in the afternoon.

He was right backstage right now, and when he was called out, he didn't know what was going on. He opened his eyes wide and called out "Boss" a little confusedly, then turned to look at Fang Xiong who was sitting in the main seat.

"This is Yun Sheng. Yun Sheng, this is Lord Fang."

Fang, sir?

Xu Bai was stunned for a moment.

He didn't react, so he called out, "...Master Fang?"

Fang Xiong frowned and looked carefully at the person in front of him. He looked good indeed, and not as androgynous as he had imagined. However, that subtle allure could not be hidden, whether it was the perfect confusion in his eyes or the few steps he took towards him.

Fang Xiong snorted coldly, "My brat is very obsessed with you, so I came to see who is the one that the high-minded Fang family young master likes!"

"You are commended..." Xu Bai just reacted, but he was interrupted abruptly as soon as he said these few words.

"I don't deserve it! That kid is going to cut off ties with the Fang family just for you! You are much more capable!"

Xu Bai was stunned by this sentence. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He wanted to ask whether it was true or not, but Fang Xiong's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it, so Xu Bai didn't dare to ask.

Seeing that the young man remained silent, Fang Xiong simply continued, "Fang Jiaxu has studied abroad. He is destined to take over the Fang family and must continue the Fang family bloodline, so from now on, don't even think about seeing him again."

"Master Jia... Master Fang and I are friends." Xu Bai finally understood what Fang Xiong meant and quickly explained, "Are you mistaken? How could he..."

The bracelet on her wrist was revealed during the movement.

"That one." Fang Xiong looked extremely annoyed and didn't even want to talk to him. "That guy spent many days and nights to buy it at a high price. He carved it bit by bit with his own hands. He said it was for his future wife. Now it's in your hands."

Xu Bai was stunned and lowered his head to stare at the crystal bracelet.

"It's not that I look down on you." Fang Xiong's voice was repeatedly amplified and poured into Xu Bai's ears. "Even if you are a low-class actor, it's fine to follow you secretly, but you are a man, and a man pretending to be a woman. Our Fang family has been disgraced by you. If you are sensible, you will leave Beihuai! Never show up again!"

But... every word he said clearly revealed contempt.

Xu Bai began to tremble, he clenched his hands tightly, not knowing what to say.

A stack of banknotes fell down and floated to his feet.

There was no room for explanation. Xu Bai thought Fang Jiaxu was a good friend, but could it be that... could it be that no other emotions arose from their interactions? When he hugged her outside the Marshal's Mansion and said with such high spirits, "Young Master, I praise you," she also had some thoughts.

Tears flowed down her cheeks and then dripped irreversibly along the tip of her chin.

"I..." He mustered up his courage and cried, "I want to ask, where did Master Fang go?"

Because of the slight sob, Xu Bai's voice was softer, like a spoiled child.

Fang Xiong did not respond. He loaded the gun with a "click" and then pulled the trigger.

boom.

A bullet hole appeared on the table next to Wang Ping.

“Ahhh!” Wang Ping held his head. He had never heard of gunshots before. He fell to the ground in fear and begged for mercy. “Please don’t shoot! I’ll help you vent your anger. I! I’ll help you beat him and scold him! Every wrong has its perpetrator!! Please, please don’t do anything to others!”

Fang Xiong left.

Wang Ping stood up with trembling legs. The broken table cost him more than ten dollars and was specially used for display. As soon as Fang Xiong left, he immediately became arrogant again and scolded Xu Bai.

"I originally thought you were a cash cow. I spent a lot of money to get you back, fed you well, and even let you sing operas. A few days ago, I praised you for your ability to climb up two high branches. I didn't expect you to be a money-loser who can get nothing!"

As he said this, he moved closer to Xu Bai, lowered his head to look at the silver bills on the ground, then picked them up and put them in his hand, talking nonstop.

"Now because of you! The troupe is going to fail!"

Xu Bai's lips trembled, and he couldn't hold back his tears. He said in a low voice, "But...but I just want to sing..."

It wasn't my choice from the beginning.

He attended all those messy occasions, met Fang Jiaxu, was toyed with by Feng Yanzhang, and managed to survive in pieces.

He thought: I just want to sing, why should all the mistakes be blamed on me?

These things, these things are clearly not caused by me...

"Sing opera, sing opera! In this world, how can opera singers be innocent? Even if you kneel down or lie down, you can get the money! Opera is originally the lowest class. You sing the female role, what's the difference between you and a woman?——"

The young man was shocked by these words; he could not imagine Wang Ping would say that.

Before this, he always thought that those who could become bosses were people who loved drama, understood drama, and valued talent, just like the old bosses of the past, who had to provide enough food for the growing children under them even if it meant suffering for themselves.

"...Boss..."

Maybe he shouldn't have come to Beihuai. Tears were still falling on his face. He was not crying out in grievance to Wang Ping, but to the simple and kind old boss.

Xu Bai's eyes were dizzy. He swayed twice and fell backwards. This time there was no one to catch him. He hit the ground hard with a loud noise.

Wang Ping looked at Xu Bai. He had already picked up all the banknotes and counted the amount. He was actually very happy after the calculation, because this money plus the money he got from the Fang family was enough for him to live a carefree life for half a year.

But... he started thinking about Xu Bai again.

Since he can't stay in the troupe anyway, he might as well do him a favor.

Wang Ping grinned with his yellow teeth, his eyes rolled and he had an idea.
