Chapter 425: They’re All Ingrates
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Nan Kang casually pulled out a cushion and placed it on the sofa. He didn’t care if it was moldy or not and sat down.
This was much cleaner than the pile of trash.
After realizing the filthy environment in the house, he found it even more unbearable that he was actually living in such a pig’s nest all day.
He took a sip of wine hatefully and threw the jar aside in anger. He didn’t expect Murong Qiao to be so disrespectful today.
After being beaten up, Nan Kang realized that this ingrate daughter had no intention of helping him at all.
However, life without money was too unbearable. If he couldn’t get anything from Murong Qiao, he could only set his eyes on others.
Nan Kang naturally thought of Nan Xuan.
There was a noise at the door, vaguely like the sound of a lock being turned.
Nan Kang was just thinking about Nan Xuan when he pushed open the door and walked in.
“…I came back to get something,” Nan Xuan said calmly.
He didn’t look at Nan Kang again. His indifferent expression made it seem like the two of them were strangers.
Nan Xuan planned to go to the room he had stayed in previously, but looking at the trashy environment in front of him that was almost impossible to step past, and the nauseating smell he smelled as soon as he entered, he frowned faintly and suppressed the disgust in his heart.
However, Nan Kang was looking at Nan Xuan with bright eyes, as if he had seen the money in his pocket in the next second.
Nan Kang stood up. “Wait a moment.”
“…” Nan Xuan stood still and looked at him expressionlessly.
Nan Kang pursed his lips. “Coincidentally, I’ve spent all my money recently.
You should still have a lot on hand, right?”
It was a questioning tone, but no matter how one looked at it, it was as if it was only right for him to ask for money. Nan Xuan looked down at Nan Kang’s hand in front of him, but he only saw the words “lazy”.
“I don’t have money.” Nan Xuan couldn’t be bothered to talk to him.
He didn’t even want to ask how the money he had left behind was consumed so quickly. Nan Xuan’s understanding of Nan Kang and the beer bottles all over the ground were enough to explain everything.
He took a step to the side, planning to circle around Nan Kang and leave, but Nan Kang grabbed his clothes.
“No money? Do you think I’m easy to fool!” Nan Kang roared.
It was fine if Murong Qiao didn’t know what was good for her, but Nan Xuan’s current att.i.tude towards him angered Nan Kang.
A son would never harm his father. Nan Kang grabbed his son sternly and didn’t believe a word of his about having no money.
Nan Kang scolded, “Do you think I don’t know how many jobs you’re working?”
When they lived together previously, Nan Kang was not stupid. He naturally knew the situation of Nan Xuan working.
“Son.” Nan Kang suddenly softened his tone. “I’ve thought it through recently. I can’t continue to degenerate like this.”
“I want to open the company again. At that time, I’ll try my best to contact my old friends. We’ll definitely be able to go back to the past.” Nan Kang’s old style of borrowing money surfaced immediately.
He lowered his posture and tried his best to put on a sincere expression, trying to move Nan Xuan with this.
However, Nan Xuan was no longer the same Nan Xuan who respected his father in the beginning.
Nan Xuan’s face was expressionless as he repeated, “I said I don’t have money. It’s up to you to believe me.”
What kind of people had he not seen in the past few days?
Nan Xuan could tell at a glance if Nan Kang was sincerely repentant or lying.
Moreover, if Nan Xuan had money, he would naturally give some to Nan Kang. However, the problem was that he had just returned the surgery fees to his Little Sister some time ago. His savings from working had been emptied, let alone giving Nan Kang any extra money.
“Well done.” Nan Kang laughed angrily at Nan Xuan’s att.i.tude.
He gritted his teeth and was about to hit Nan Xuan. He was certain that Nan Xuan simply didn’t want to give him money and was not even willing to find an excuse.
Seeing his eldest son, whom he once liked and valued the most, treat him like this, Nan Kang was so angry that he raised his hand to hit him without thinking.
He swore. “You’re an ingrate like that b*tch!
If not for me raising you back then, you would have died in some corner long ago! Do you really think you’re so capable now?!
If I had known earlier, I would have strangled Murong Yan to death earlier.
How could she give birth to animals like you? You ingrates. You forgot about me after drinking blood and eating meat…”
The entire room was filled with Nan Kang’s angry voice.
Nan Xuan originally planned to leave, but when he heard Nan Kang scold his Little Sister and his mother, he immediately turned around.
He dodged Nan Kang’s shove and punched his father’s face for the first time. The force was so strong that Nan Kang stumbled and fell into the trash.
“What right do you have to mention Little Sister? You caused Mother’s death! You’re the real murderer!”
Nan Xuan stared at Nan Kang with red eyes. “You still have the cheek to say that about Qiaoqiao?”
Nan Kang was stunned by this punch. The world spun around him. He’d drunk some beer and now saw a double image of Nan Xuan floating before his eyes.
However, after being beaten up by Nan Xuan, Nan Kang realized the situation and immediately felt immense anger.
He got up shakily. “You dare to hit your father?”
Feeling the warmth flowing from his nose, Nan Kang wiped his face. Seeing that his palm was red, the string in his heart snapped. He reached out and grabbed Nan Xuan’s collar.
However, Nan Xuan didn’t fall for his trick. He took a step back and pulled away from him.
The dignity that Nan Kang once held as his father had long disappeared in Nan Xuan’s eyes.
He looked at the rotten person in front of him who was even worse than a beggar and felt that it was ridiculous. Especially when he saw Nan Kang cursing and blaming it on him and Murong Qiao, and even his mother, the last bit of respect Nan Xuan had for his father was wiped away.
The light in Nan Xuan’s eyes gradually turned cold. “It has nothing to do with Qiaoqiao that you ended up like this.”
With Nan Kang’s little ability and his mud-like appearance, Nan Xuan did not find it strange at all.
He didn’t even know how to clean up the trash and didn’t know how to go out to work to earn money. He lay at home all day drinking and talking big like a useless loser. He only knew how to reach out and ask for money. Nan Kang was already rotten like this.
“Oh? You know how to protect her? Why? Did she give you money or benefits? The two of you are indeed in cahoots—” Nan Kang sneered and looked at his eldest son mockingly.
“All of you are f*cking…”
The furious Nan Kang didn’t care about his status. Seeing that Nan Xuan was still speaking up for Murong Qiao, his emotions rose.
He couldn’t deal with the security officer today and was beaten up. Now, he couldn’t even scold his son a little?
Nan Xuan took a deep breath to calm himself down. His hand that was holding the door handle was clenched so tightly that his veins were bulging. He tried his best not to fight with Nan Kang.
Nan Xuan suddenly understood something extremely ironic. He even smiled.
“Do you care about anything other than drinking?
When you see me, you only know how to ask for money. After getting the money, you will drink and play. When you come home, you will sleep soundly and do nothing…”
Nan Xuan counted his actions in detail, but then he changed the topic. “When Nan Jin was hospitalized, you didn’t go to see him once.
Oh right. You probably don’t know that Nan Jin was sick. After all, you’re only concerned about whether that little bit of money is enough for you to drink two more cans of beer,” he added.
“In this situation, it’s not impossible for me to hire a lawyer to sever ties with you, Nan Kang.”
“Don’t go too far.”
The unfamiliarity of calling him by his full name and the final warning showed Nan Xuan’s bottom line.
He was still willing to take care of Nan Kang and give him some money because of his morals.
Otherwise, based on Nan Kang’s situation, the landlord would have chased him out long ago. However, because the rent Nan Xuan paid was not bad, Nan Kang had a place to sleep..
