Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 685: Chapter 686: Cripple Him

Fong Jianye was afraid of running into acquaintances on the way back, and even more afraid of bumping into women and girls. He didn’t dare go back during the day. In the cold November weather, he managed to wait, stark naked, until deep in the night to sneak back. But Meng Xinian had another trick up his sleeve, having arranged to meet with two young girls from the compound that night. Of course, he stood them up, but those two girls ended up seeing Fong Jianye skulking about, his body bare.

That incident left Fong Jianye feeling humiliated, furious, and resentful, and he had not forgotten it to this day.

From childhood to adulthood, there were countless vile things Meng Xinian had done to them. How could Fong Jianye listen to him? He already had a long-standing grudge with Meng Xinian, all right!

”Hahaha.” Upon hearing him bring up that past incident, Meng Xinian actually laughed, glanced at Fong Jianye, and said, ”With your bean sprout of a body, there wasn’t much to see. Those girls got the short end of the stick.”

Pfft.

Gao Wei nearly burst out laughing.

And Fong Jianye nearly vomited blood.

His face turned crimson, verging on purple, as he leaped up from the ground, and through gritted teeth said, ”Meng Xinian! Who are you calling a bean sprout!”

Am I exaggerating? More like a toothpick?” Meng Xinian raised an eyebrow.

”I’m going to beat you to death!” Fong Jianye charged at him.

Meng Xinian looked on with disdain, ”You’ve been saying that for over ten years now, and you still have the skill of a kitten!” Dropping the object he had in his hand onto the ground, he said, ”Come on, kill me then. If you succeed, I’ll have someone give you a medal!”

So arrogant!

Fong Jianye, teeth clenched, swung a punch at him.

Gao Wei, seeing this, had a flash in his eyes, pulled out a nunchaku from his back, and silently swung it toward Meng Xinian’s head.

This place was perfect, very secluded.

If something were to happen, nobody would witness it.

As a whistling sound approached, Meng Xinian, who was catching Fong Jianye’s fist, felt a chill in his heart. He suddenly tilted his head, stepping back a pace, pulling Fong Jianye by a step forward.

The spot where Meng Xinian had been standing instantaneously became Fong Jianye’s. Gao Wei was shocked, but his nunchaku couldn’t be retracted in time. Although he subconsciously lessened the force, the staff still hit Fong Jianye’s head hard.

With a thud.

Fong Jianye collapsed before he could even make a sound.

Meng Xinian let go and slowly lifted his gaze to meet Gao Wei’s.

Gao Wei, watching the blood seep from Fong Jianye’s head, panicked completely, dropped the nunchaku, turned pale, and looked up to meet Meng Xinian’s eyes.

”No, not me ... it was you, you’re the one who injured him!” he blurted out incoherently before turning to run.

He knew full well the force behind that swing, which had been aimed at crippling Meng Xinian.

The nunchaku was custom-made, weighted with iron, and quite heavy. He had heard it said that getting hit in the head with such a weapon would make it hard to die, but there was a good chance it could turn someone into a fool.

Gao Wei wanted to turn Meng Xinian into a fool.

Though the consequences of maiming him would be severe, there were a few angles to play.

The most crucial point was that Meng Xinian’s father had his heart set on Xinian’s young stepmother, and that woman was no easy mark. She wanted to have a son who could replace Meng Xinian and inherit everything from the Meng Family.

For her, exploiting Meng Xinian was the only interest left.

If sacrificing Meng Xinian could bring greater benefits to the Meng Family, then so be it.

Therefore, as long as the Gao Family could deal with that woman, with her whispering in Father Meng’s ear, he might not stand up for Meng Xinian.

And as for Old Man Meng, he was already aged and had stepped back from the center of power. Could he compete with Gao’s Father, whose influence was still burning brightly?
