716 What Is He Up To? (1/2)

If he weren't so aloof as to only care about sleeping in the back row, perhaps subsequently… things wouldn't have ended with that female classmate jumping off the building.

Fu Tianci didn't know if it was his guilt at work or if it was because those drops of blood on his white skateboard shoes had dripped their way into his heart and awakened some of that sense of justice in him from his junior high days…

Then later, when he discovered that this female classmate called Chen Xiaotang was being bullied, Fu Tianci couldn't hold himself back.

The same thing happened—Qiao Yihang had failed in his confession, so he deliberately smeared Chen Xiaotang at school, using the same tactic of rounding up the others to bully her.

Fu Tianci recalled the female classmate that had jumped off the building, so without a second word, he picked up his chair and went over to thrash Qiao Yihang. Now, Qiao Yihang was lying in the hospital with bones in his nose, arm, and finger fractured!

After the matter blew up, Fu Tianci knew he had gotten himself into trouble. When he got home and saw his mother's horrified reaction, Fu Tianci got scared too!

Very quickly, Lu Qingmei received Fu Qingquan's call. Even though Fu Tianci was quite a distance from Lu Qingmei, he could sense Fu Qingquan's rage over the phone.

Even now, whenever Fu Tianci recalled how Fu Qingquan had beaten him up last time, he could still feel himself aching all over!

He had no choice. It was one thing to act tough when he was beaten up the last time, but it was another knowing that if he still didn't run away, he would suffer another round of beating this time. Fu Tianci decisively chose to flee.

However, Fu Tianci didn't regret beating Qiao Yihang up. If his beating Qiao Yihang half dead could be exchanged for that lady's life, Fu Tianci would gladly claim Qiao Yihang's remaining half a life.

After listening to Fu Tianci's recount, Lin Nuan was silent for a good while as she recalled the landlord of hers who used to rent his place to her.

When the landlord said he was selling the apartment, it was because his kid was being bullied in school and was experiencing campus violence. As parents, they couldn't bear to see their kid sinking into that darkness while standing by and doing nothing. So, they could only sell their place and emigrate with the whole family, attempting to give the child a new environment, hoping the child could cheer up.

Had campus bullying gotten to such a horrific state? Bad enough to drive someone to death?

It was such a major issue, and yet it wasn't on the popular search rankings on Weibo, nor was it hot news!

Lin Nuan had always been the most popular one at school and had never experienced campus bullying in junior high. However, in her college days…

After Lin Nuan was revealed to be a fake rich missy of the Lin family, there were plenty who came forth to trample upon her.

But in college, because Lin Nuan had Bai Xiaonian, Song Yao, and that hostel roommate with powerful battle prowess, nobody dared to trifle with her.

While Lin Nuan had her brows furrowed deep in thought, Fu Tianci continued ranting, ”Don't you think such a person deserves a beating? He's sick in the head… just because someone didn't fancy him, he called her a public bus[1]! He even ganged up with his lackeys at school to isolate the girl! I think all of the students in that school are godd*mn sick! When others alienated her… they just followed suit, not caring about what a sound character she had or what a good student she was! Or how well she used to treat them! Chen Xiaotang was the previous class monitress, and I have seen her give free tutoring to help weaker students catch up many times, all voluntary. She's a good person… In the end, because the rest were afraid of offending a second-generation rich kid, they joined in isolating the girl! Completely forgetting about the girl's past merits! Is there a hole in their brains or what?”

Tuan Tuan saw Lin Nuan frown, so he reached out his arm and pointed at the area between her brows with his chubby finger.

Fu Tianci subconsciously realized he had just hurled out vulgarities in front of Tuan Tuan, so he cleared his throat in embarrassment and said to Tuan Tuan, ”It's wrong to scold others! Don't learn from this, Tuan Tuan!”

Lin Nuan returned to her senses. Noticing Tuan Tuan gazing at her with a worried look, she smiled and said, ”Mama is fine!”

Lin Nuan then grabbed the seat support of the front passenger seat as she leaned forward and asked, ”Fu Tianci, are you interested in coming on an episode of my show?”

Fu Tianci paused in surprise. ”Ah?”

”Come on an episode of my show, let's talk about campus violence!”

Lin Nuan didn't invite him without giving it some thought…

When Fu Tianci was taking part in Haicheng's talent show, his popularity was already very high. Back then, Fang Yan had stated with certainty that if Fu Tianci were to continue in the talent show, he would undoubtedly rise to become another new star!

Fu Tianci's aura was way too suited for the stage. So long as he stood there, it was like he hogged the spotlight!

This was also the reason that even though Fu Tianci had signed up for the competition with a group, in the end, the judges only wanted him!

Because Fu Tianci shined too brightly, never mind the fact that the rest of his group were merely there as his complements, they might even hinder his progress in the contest. Fu Tianci might as well appear as a solo act, as that would help him be more appealing.

Fu Tianci glanced at Fu Huai'an, then turned his head towards Lin Nuan. ”Can I really go on your show?”

”Of course you can!” Lin Nuan smiled and nodded. ”Are you willing to come?”

Fu Tianci thought about it, then nodded. ”Okay! We're just talking about campus violence, right? I can even invite some of my classmates from school to be in the audience… and talk about this topic together!”

Lin Nuan nodded. ”That'd be even better! If you can confirm things on your side, we can record the episode on campus violence next week!”

As they were signing a contract with a TV station as an agency now, Lin Nuan had greater flexibility over the show.

”I can make the phone calls now to confirm things!” Fu Tianci felt for his phone as he spoke. Before he could find his phone though, he recalled that it had long run out of battery, so he didn't bring it along with him and had left it at Tianfu Bay.

Seeing how Fu Tianci couldn't find his phone, Lin Nuan said, ”No need to be in such a hurry. You can go back and talk with them tonight. Just give me a reply before Christmas Day, as the first episode will be broadcasted on Christmas. By then, even if we haven't recorded the second episode, we need to have at least confirmed it!”

Fu Tianci nodded. ”Don't worry. I'll do it asap!”

Fu Tianci had his own thoughts about it too. Lin Nuan's show had always had high ratings, so if an issue like campus violence could receive societal attention through Lin Nuan's program, wouldn't they be able to reduce the occurrence of such incidents in the future?

…

Back at Tianfu Bay…

Fu Qingquan and Lu Qingmei had been waiting in the car for half a day.

When they entered this area, if it weren't for Fu Qingquan's status as the chairman of the Kaide Corporation, they might not even have been able to come in!

Lu Qingmei's eyes were very reddened. She complained to Fu Qingquan as she sat in the car, ”Say, what does Fu Huai'an mean by this? We almost went berserk looking for Tianci! What is he up to by hiding Tianci away? Previously too… I don't know what bewitching potion he has fed Tianci, for him even to give up the Kaide Corporation, giving it to Fu Huai'an that…”

Lu Qingmei didn't say the word ”outsider,” leaving the sentence hanging, tears running down her face.

”Tianci called and told Secretary Song that it wasn't Fu Huai'an who hid him away! These few days, your precious son has been staying in an express hotel. I had people check on this. Stop letting your thoughts run wild!” Fu Qingquan, who was frustrated by Lu Qingmei's crying, tugged on his collar.

Lu Qingmei understood Fu Qingquan well. Just by seeing Fu Qingquan's actions, she knew that he was vexed. If she continued ranting, she might make things worse for her case. She wiped her tears dry with a tissue, then changed the topic. ”Qingquan, when you see Tianci later, don't glare and puff in front of the child, lest you scare him further and make him not dare to go home!”

Fu Qingquan frowned and nodded.

He was only left with this one son in this lifetime, so how could he not dote on him?

Only, when he had first heard how Fu Tianci had beaten up Young Master Qiao such that bones all over his body were fractured, he couldn't help anger from surging to his head!
