The unattainable beauty was driven to depravity and madness by a wicked seed.

Chen Jingmo had fantasized countless times about their relationship being discovered. Perhaps someone would secretly take pictures of them and send them to Chen Yunting, or perhaps someone would find his phone after he dropped it and happen to see that the screensaver was of him and Shi Qianqiu. He had also fantasized about this situation today. He was very flustered at the time, but when he was actually seen, he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression and heart were unusually calm.

"I'm asking you a question! Did you fucking kiss him just now?!"

Chen Jingmo leaned against the pillar behind him, arms crossed. "Didn't you already see it?"

Snapped!

Chen Jingmo's face was turned to the side by the slap. He rubbed his stinging cheek, straightened his head, and stared coldly at Chen Yunting.

Chen Yunting, suppressing a harsh tone, tapped Chen Jingmo's shoulder repeatedly with his finger, "That's your fucking brother!"

Chen Jingmo said indifferently, "We're not related by blood, we're not on the same household register, and we're not related by blood. At most, we're neighbors."

Chen Yunting was so angry that his face turned ashen. "Fine, I'll go register his household tomorrow."

Chen Jingmo clenched his fists. "Shi Qianqiu won't agree."

"He has no choice!"

"Are you determined to break us up?"

Chen Yunting slammed his fist on the wall. "What do you mean by breaking you up? You two shouldn't have been together in the first place! This is ridiculous and disgusting!"

Hearing these words from his biological father, Chen Jingmo wanted to laugh but couldn't. He asked, "What's absurd? What's disgusting?"

"I don't want to talk to you here, go home!"

"That's not my house!"

"If you don't go back, I'm going to the playground right now and shout it out, so they all know you're sleeping with a guy!"

Chen Yunting's words were so harsh that Chen Jingmo clenched his teeth.

Half an hour later.

The Chen family.

As soon as Chen Jingmo entered, he was kicked to the ground by Chen Yunting, and his arm was scraped. He swallowed the pain and groaned.

Fang Chi was startled and quickly ran forward to protect Chen Jingmo, then turned to angrily rebuke Chen Yunting, "What are you doing!"

Chen Yunting's eyes practically blazed with fire. "What did I do? Ha, you should ask him! See how he seduced his brother! How could my Chen family produce such a shameless person like you!"

After being humiliated time and again, Chen Jingmo finally snapped. "So what if I'm shameless! If you're so capable, why didn't you control your lust and prevent me from being born in the first place!"

"Try going against me again! I've spoiled you way too much! You do something like this and still dare to yell at me? I should have thrown you into a chamber pot and drowned you when you were born!"

Chen Jingmo's mind was buzzing from the shock of those harsh words.

"Chen Yunting, don't get so agitated. Let's hear what the child has to say first." Fang Chi saw Chen Yunting reach for the feather duster and stepped forward to snatch it back. "Listen to what the child has to say first, let him explain."

"What's there to explain! What can you possibly explain! I saw it with my own eyes, he kissed his brother! Two men kissing on the lips, aren't they afraid of throwing up their dinner from last night!"

Chen Jingmo leaned against the wall to stand up, blood streaming down his arm. He flicked his hand, leaving a few drops of blood on the ground, and looked at Chen Yunting with a cold smile, "Shi Qianqiu has a sweet tongue, I love kissing him!"

"You, you! Get the hell out of here!"

"Didn't you say this is my home? Why should I get out? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for speaking so harshly? I'll reiterate, Shi Qianqiu is not my brother, we are not related by blood. If you're deaf, go to the hospital to get it checked out as soon as possible, or you'll end up disabled."

"Chen Jingmo!"

"Chen Yunting! My relationship with Shi Qianqiu is our own business, what's it to you!"

"Ha, I raised him, and I raised you too, so what's the big deal!"

Chen Jingmo chuckled softly, "Do you really think you're a loving father just because you've put yourself into that role? Why do you love acting so much?"

"From childhood to adulthood, how many times have you ever cared about me? When I get into a fight, you never bother to find out the truth and blame me. When people say I don't have a mother, you scold me for being useless and not keeping her. Why don't you ever think about your own problems? If you hadn't cheated on me, she would still be condescending to be with you. She would never have left. You gave her the opportunity!"

"Other kids stay home to rest when they have a fever, but you insist on sending me to school to study when I have a fever? Please, like begets like. You, with an IQ below 100, want to give birth to someone with an IQ of 360? You think you can have all the world's dreams, huh?!"

"You believe everything people say about me, even whipping me with a belt. What, am I not human? Don't I feel pain? Am I your son or your enemy?"

"You believe everything that green tea bitch Tan Manxiang says? She teaches her son all sorts of underhanded tricks to disgust me. They're so clumsy, can't you see it, or do you just not want to care!"

"Shi Qianqiu accompanied me to all those parent-teacher conferences. When I was sick, he was always by my side, running around buying medicine for me, feeding me, and always patient with me... Have you ever done any of these things? You only care about having a good time outside, making yourself a laughingstock while protecting your precarious self-esteem and so-called face!"

"Chen Yunting, how many times do you need to remind me that you don't love me at all!"

Chen Yunting's face was so dark it could drip water. "How could I not love you! If I didn't love you, would I give you money to spend?!"

"That's what you're supposed to give me! Have I ever asked you for money in the past few years? And you keep cutting off my cards, which are all my own earnings!"

"You make money? How did you make it? By kissing your brother and begging him for it?"

"Otherwise what?"

"Chen Jingmo! When did you two get together?!"

"None of your business!"

Fang Chi looked at Chen Jingmo with sympathy and walked towards him. Reaching the door, she threw the feather duster away to prevent it from falling into Chen Yunting's hands. Before she could speak, she heard Chen Yunting ask, "He's good to you, so you repay kindness with enmity by letting him be with you?"

Chen Jingmo clenched his fists. "So what if she repays kindness with enmity? Shi Qianqiu like this can only be mine!"

Chen Yunting was startled by his loud voice, then reacted and roared, "So you threatened him?!"

"So what if it is?"

"Chen Jingmo! Cough, cough, cough... You're utterly disgraceful! If people outside find out about this, I'll lose all face!" Chen Yunting coughed violently, his eyes bloodshot. "I'll take Shi Qianqiu to register her birth tomorrow, let's see how you two get together!"

Chen Jingmo stated confidently, "He will never agree!"

"Then I'll find him a partner and arrange a marriage for him! If he doesn't agree, I'll drug him. Anyway, you two can't be together!"

"Holy crap? Chen Yunting, you're despicable and shameless!"

"You're the despicable one! He was at the prime of his career, and now things have turned out like this. How is he supposed to face anyone now? What will his business partners think of him? Are you trying to ruin him?!"

Chen Jingmo froze.

The last sentence was too realistic; he couldn't utter a single word.

Fang Chi patted Chen Jingmo on the back, "Yun Ting, you're exaggerating. Didn't the Li family's youngest son also prefer boys? He's already married—"

"Marriage? What marriage?! I don't want my son to be called a 'rabbit' (a derogatory term for a man who marries a woman) in the future!" Chen Yunting pointed at Chen Jingmo. "You just wait, I'll be selecting marriage partners for your brother tomorrow. You can get out of here!"

"Chen Yunting, are you fucking an idiot?! What's wrong with me liking Shi Qianqiu?! Why should he marry someone else?! Why?!"

"Just because he's someone I brought out of the orphanage! I'm giving you one day tomorrow to cut all ties with him, or I'll hold a press conference. Since you don't care about my reputation and are determined to go against me, then I don't care either! If that happens, he'll be completely ruined, all thanks to you!"

After Chen Yunting finished speaking, he went back to his room.

Chen Jingmo cursed loudly behind him, yelling until his body trembled. As if suddenly regaining his senses, he grabbed Fang Chi's hand and begged, "Stepmother, Stepmother, I beg you, please go and tell Chen Yunting not to hold a press conference. Shi Qianqiu and I will be more careful in the future and will definitely not let anyone find out."

Fang Chi's eyes reddened. "But given your situation, do you think he'll listen to me?"

"What should we do? What should we do?"

"Chen Yunting, you filthy idiot, are you even human?! If you dare to find a marriage partner for Shi Qianqiu, I'll kill them all! I'll kill one if you find one, and I'll kill two if you find two!"

"Do you fucking want to go to jail?!" Chen Yunting suddenly flung open the door.

"So what if I go to jail? If you dare drug him, I'll make sure the Chen family is in complete chaos! If I don't get away with it, none of you will get away with it!"

Chen Yunting laughed in fury, "Fine, go ahead and kill me if you dare, go ahead and cause trouble if you dare. If it's not going to be easy for you, then it's not going to be easy for you. Let's see who can beat whom. I don't believe you can turn the tables here!"

Chen Jingmo started cursing again, and eventually broke down.

"You are not allowed to let Shi Qianqiu marry anyone else!"

"Did you hear me!"

"Can you fucking stop pushing me? If you keep pushing me, I'll kill myself!"

"Chen Yunting, you get out here! Are you deaf and mute? Say something!"

"Dad, Dad, I'm begging you, please? Don't let Shi Qianqiu marry someone else."

"What else can I do?"

"What am I supposed to do if you let him marry someone else?"

"What should I do...?"
