Chapter 144 So vicious at such a young age
Lin Qingran was extremely anxious and, ignoring the hotel staff's attempts to stop her, forced her way into Fu Xiuheng's room.
Upon entering, they found Fu Xiuheng slumped on the sofa, completely drunk, with the room filled with a strong smell of alcohol.
Hearing the door open, Fu Xingze looked up abruptly and saw Lin Qingran. As if he had seen a lifeline, he rushed over, hugged Lin Qingran tightly, and said in a tearful voice.
"Mom, I'm so scared. I don't know what's wrong with Dad. He's been drinking all the time."
Lin Qingran pushed him away with disgust and said coldly.
"Don't touch me, just looking at you annoys me!"
Fu Xingze stumbled from the push, his eyes instantly filling with tears as he looked at her with a pitiful and aggrieved expression.
Lin Qingran stared fiercely at Fu Xingze and questioned him sharply.
"Fu Xingze, tell me honestly, where did you hide Lin Yuyan?"
Fu Xingze avoided eye contact and stammered, refusing to speak.
Lin Qingran became increasingly angry, took a step forward, and grabbed his collar.
"You little brat, don't play dumb with me! Speak up!"
Fu Xingze's lips trembled slightly as he murmured.
"I...I..." But he couldn't get a coherent answer for a long time.
Lin Qingran's face turned ashen with anger. "If you don't tell me, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Fu Xingze trembled in fright, but he kept his lips tightly shut, stubbornly refusing to utter a single word.
Lin Qingran felt even more agitated. Looking at Fu Xingze's expression, she knew she wouldn't get anything out of him.
She forcefully shook off Fu Xingze and turned to go out to find Lin Yuyan herself.
Just as she took two steps, Fu Xiuheng, who was originally dead drunk, suddenly rushed up and hugged Lin Qingran tightly from behind.
Lin Qingran was startled by this sudden action and struggled to shout.
"Fu Xiuheng, let me go!"
Fu Xiuheng, however, seemed to have lost his mind, holding on tightly and refusing to let go, muttering incoherently.
"Don't go, don't leave me."
Lin Qingran was both angry and anxious, but she couldn't break free from those strong arms no matter what she did.
She angrily rebuked Fu Xiuheng, "Fu Xiuheng, what's wrong with you? Let go right now!"
However, Fu Xiuheng held her tightly, showing no intention of letting go.
He kept muttering to himself, "Qingran, I won't let go. I've loved you for a long time. You have no idea how much I love you."
Lin Qingran grew increasingly angry. "What nonsense are you spouting! This is not the time to talk about these things. Let me go, I'm going to find Lin Yuyan!"
Fu Xiuheng seemed not to hear him and continued to talk to himself.
"From the very first moment I saw you, I was trapped. My heart belonged to you, but only now do I realize..."
Lin Qingran felt both helpless and absurd.
Seeing Fu Xiuheng harassing Lin Qingran like this, Bo Ye was furious and was about to pull him away when Lin Qingran, already annoyed, suddenly raised her hand high and slapped Fu Xiuheng hard.
The slap contained her pent-up anger, and the crisp sound of the slap echoed loudly in the room.
Fu Xiuheng was thrown off balance by the sudden, powerful blow, stumbled, and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
A bright red, swollen handprint instantly appeared on his face, his eyes filled with a mixture of shock and pain.
Lin Qingran's chest heaved violently as she shouted angrily.
"Fu Xiuheng, wake up!"
The room fell into a deathly silence in an instant, with only Lin Qingran's heavy breathing clearly audible.
Bo Ye was stunned by Lin Qingran's fierce and resolute actions and stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
Lu An, who had rushed over after hearing about the incident, was shocked by what he saw as soon as he opened the door.
But he didn't dare to step forward to stop her, and could only stand there blankly, letting Lin Qingran slap Fu Xiuheng several times.
Lin Qingran's slaps fell like raindrops, each one as if she were trying to kill.
Fu Xiuheng did not resist at first, but silently endured it.
Later, perhaps the pain brought him to his senses, or perhaps Lin Qingran's resolute decision restored his rationality; Fu Xiuheng finally stopped being confused.
He slowly raised his head, his eyes no longer filled with the confusion they had before.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely tense. Lu An was too nervous to make a sound, while Lin Qingran finally stopped what she was doing, standing there panting, her eyes full of exhaustion.
Fu Xiuheng's eyes suddenly reddened, and he was about to speak when Lin Qingran angrily interrupted him.
"Don't give me that nonsense! Why don't you take better care of the children? Why did you let things turn out like this?"
Fu Xiuheng's eyes instantly welled up with tears. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
She just kept muttering to herself, "I...I..."
Seeing his appearance, Lin Qingran's anger intensified.
"Look at this mess you've made! It's all because of your negligence!"
Fu Xiuheng lowered his head, tears streaming down his cheeks, his voice trembling.
"It's my fault, it's all my fault..."
Lin Qingran could no longer listen to Fu Xiuheng's mutterings. She grabbed Fu Xingze, who was standing to the side, and questioned him loudly with great emotion.
"Tell me! Where exactly did you hide Lin Yuyan?"
Fu Xingze was startled by her sudden action, and tears welled up in his eyes. He sobbed, but stubbornly kept his lips tightly closed, refusing to utter a single word.
Lin Qingran's eyes turned red with anger, and her voice became increasingly shrill.
"How can you be so vicious at such a young age? Tell me!"
Fu Xingze just kept shedding tears, his small body trembling slightly from fear and grievance, but he gritted his teeth and refused to reveal Lin Yuyan's whereabouts.
After a long while, Fu Xingze sobbed and spoke with a heart full of pleading.
"Mom, I don't want to sever our mother-son relationship. As long as you still acknowledge me as your son, I will tell you where Lin Yuyan is."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran's anger reached its peak. Unable to bear it any longer, she raised her hand and slapped Fu Xingze hard, roaring.
"At this point, you're still trying to negotiate with me!"
Fu Xingze was knocked to the ground, and red finger marks immediately appeared on his face.
He covered his face, staring at Lin Qingran in disbelief, and cried even more heartbreakingly.
Everyone around was stunned by the scene, and no one dared to speak. For a moment, only Fu Xingze's crying could be heard in the room.
After hitting Fu Xingze, Lin Qingran turned to leave, feeling disheartened.
As Fu Xingze watched her resolute back, his fear reached its peak. He rushed forward, crying, and grabbed Lin Qingran's leg, shouting.
"Mom, don't go! I'll tell you the truth, I'll tell you everything!"
Lin Qingran stopped and looked down at him coldly.
Fu Xingze, his face streaked with tears, choked out his words.
"I hid Lin Yuyan in an abandoned factory in the suburbs. I was afraid she would steal Dad’s love for you. I don’t want to lose you, Mom."
After saying that, he collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.
