47: Chapter 47 To frame the real person, the fake young master is even willing to risk his life? [4,000-word chapter]

Behind Chen Fan.

Chen Jingci had originally been pressing very close, mentally plotting how to fish for information once they reached the study.

Suddenly, he saw Chen Fan turn his head abruptly, his face pale and his eyes panicked.

Immediately afterwards, his footing slipped, and his whole body toppled toward him!

Out of reflex, Chen Jingci reached out to steady him.

The next second.

A flailing hand slammed heavily onto his chest!

It wasn't a push!

But because Chen Fan had already lost his center of gravity,

the force of this slap, combined with his own weight, was solidly transmitted over!

Chen Jingci felt as if he had been rammed by a small calf!

His chest tightened!

His footing slipped into empty air!

His body uncontrollably leaned backward, his feet left the ground, and his vision spun wildly.

"——？？？!!!!!"

"..."

Behind Chen Jingci's gold-rimmed glasses, those normally calm and composed eyes suddenly widened!

In those split seconds of falling,

countless thoughts flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern—

No!

This script isn't right, is it?!

I already gave up on fake-falling to frame you?

Yet you actually pushed me down instead?!

Could this brat have been acting like a pig to eat a tiger all along?!

Was his previous honesty and simplicity all a disguise???

Is he only showing his true colors now that we're alone???

Does he genuinely want my life?

And then go lie to the Chen family, saying I accidentally slipped and fell to my death?!

What a vicious heart ahhhhh!!!!!

Afterwards.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Chen Jingci's body bounced and rolled down the steep mahogany stairs like a kicked football!

Shoulders, back, buttocks, knees!

Every single step made intimate and violent collisions with some part of his body!

Amidst the dull impacts were the faint, crisp sounds of bones creaking!

He tried to grab the railing.

His fingers merely brushed past the banister; he couldn't catch it at all!

His body completely lost control!

His head buzzed!

His vision spun!

By the time he regained control of his body!

The excruciating pain arrived fashionably late.

Like a tide,

from every part of his body,

it surged forth all at once!

"Ahhhhh ahhhhh ahhhhh ahhhhh ahhhhh ahhhhh ahhhhh ahhhhh ah——!!!"

"..."

A heart-wrenching scream squeezed out of Chen Jingci's throat!

He didn't even have time to care about his image anymore; the pain made his tears and snot burst out together!

At this moment.

Whatever gentleness and refinement he had, whatever emotional poise he maintained, were all thrown to the winds!

He curled up into a ball, whole body twitching.

Shivering from the pain!!!

Howling wildly from the pain!!!

Pain!!!

Too painful!!!!!

...

Above the stairs.

Relying on the reaction force of pushing down the Fake Young Master, Chen Fan finally stabilized his body.

But looking at the Fake Young Master curled up downstairs,

his entire being was as if struck by lightning.

His mind went completely blank.

He stood stupidly in place.

What happened?

Brother Jing Ci... fell down???

Was he pushed down by me?????

Could this fall kill someone?!

I didn't mean to!

I just wanted to turn around and take a look!

I really just wanted to turn around and look ahhhhh!!!!!

After a brief stupor.

Fear, panic, regret, and self-blame surged into his brain like four torrents simultaneously!

What should I do!

What to do, what to do, what to do!!!

I'm done for, I'm done for, I'm done for!!!

Would the Fake Young Master think I pushed him on purpose?!

Would Mom, Dad, and my sisters also think I have a malicious heart?!

Would they be utterly disappointed in me and kick me out of the house?!

The family I managed to get with such difficulty! The family affection I finally possessed! The warmth of home I finally got to feel!

It's all ruined!!!

Wuwuwuwu!!!

Damn voice pack! I'm fucking killed by you!!!

Chen Fan let out a wail in his heart!

I knew long ago you had persecution delusion!

Not a single punctuation mark you said could be trusted!

Every single sentence was completely fabricated!

Yet just now... just now I subconsciously believed it!!!

And those brain-dead Hongguo short dramas!

Every day they show fake and real young masters tearing at each other on the stairs!

Stuff like fake-falling and framing!

They watched my brain stupid!!!

Once this matter passes, I'll delete Hongguo immediately, uninstall and blacklist the whole set!!!

If I hadn't been brainwashed by those melodramatic tropes,

how could I have genuinely thought Brother Jing Ci was going to push me at that instant?!!

As a result, it ended up causing him to be pushed down the stairs by me instead!

Wuwu wuwu, it's completely over now!!

I can't explain this clearly!! Even jumping into the Yellow River won't wash this clean!!!

I deserve to die!! I am guilty!!!

Chen Fan was standing in place in disarray.

Right at this moment!

Da da da!

A burst of urgent footsteps came from the direction of the dining room!

Chen Jianguo took the lead, Wang Xiaoyun followed closely behind, and The Four Sisters filed in one after another!!!

Their hearts had already been hanging in suspense all along; upon hearing the screams, their souls were practically scared flying out!

Rushing to the top of the stairs and seeing the scene before them—

everyone gasped a cold breath!!!

They saw Chen Fan with a panic-stricken face, standing at the top of the stairs, his hands still maintaining a posture of reaching forward!

While Chen Jingci was curled up at the foot of the stairs, rolling around on the ground in pain!

His white suit was wrinkled into a ball, his glasses had vanished without a trace, and his face was covered in snot and tears!

Where was there still the slightest trace of gentleness and refinement?!

This scene...

no matter how you looked at it, it looked like the real young master suddenly flew into a beastly rage and pushed the Fake Young Master down the stairs!!!

When everyone recalled the undisguised malice and curses towards Chen Jingci in Chen Fan's usual inner thoughts,

"This Venerable One wants to viciously backstab you!"

"Let you also experience the taste of being plotted against!"

"Jiejiejie—"

"..."

those words were still ringing in their ears.

And now the person was lying fallen under the stairs.

Motive, action, result.

They fit together seamlessly.

That this kind of thing happened didn't seem strange at all anymore.

Thinking of this,

Chen Jianguo's face instantly darkened.

Wang Xiaoyun covered her mouth, her eye sockets instantly turning red with heartache.

Chen Xuening knitted her brows sharply, her gaze piercing straight at Chen Fan like two knives.

The remaining three sisters also widened their eyes, looking at Chen Fan in disbelief, their mouths opening and closing without being able to say a single word.

Xiaofan... how could he be so vicious?!

At this moment, every member of the Chen family was filled with endless regret.

They had known long ago just how great Xiaofan's malice towards Xiao Ci was in his heart!

Why did they still let the two of them stay alone?

And wishfully thought that Xiao Ci could use the goodness in his heart to dissolve Xiaofan's evil!

Ah, ε=(´ο｀*))) It was simply too wishful thinking~~~

However, now was not the time to assign blame.

Chen Jianguo forcefully suppressed his anger, rushing to his adopted son's side in two steps as one, crouching down, his voice completely out of tune:

"Xiao Ci! Xiao Ci, how are you?!"

"It's fine! Dad is here! Where are you hurt? Where does it hurt?!"

"..."

Wang Xiaoyun followed closely behind, kneeling by her adopted son's side, tears flickering with heartache.

She carefully supported her adopted son's arm to check his injuries, her voice trembling:

"Quickly make a call! Call an ambulance! Yutong, come over quickly and check on your brother!"

"Xiao Ci, don't move, absolutely don't move around!"

"..."

The Four Sisters swarmed over, surrounding him completely.

Chen Yutong crouched in front of her brother, rapidly checking his pupils and joints, her tone filled with a tension Chen Fan had never heard before:

"Xiao Ci, look at me, can you see my fingers clearly? Does it hurt here? How about here?"

"..."

Chen Xuening stood to the side, her brows tightly furrowed, her hands clenched into fists, fingernails digging into her palms without feeling any pain at all.

Chen Nianan hugged her drawing board, her small face pale, her entire body stiff in place, worried and at a loss.

Chen Xingyue paced back and forth anxiously, her tears almost falling:

"Xiao Ci, don't be afraid! Fourth Sister is here! The ambulance will be here immediately! Just bear with it!"

"..."

Everyone surrounded Chen Jingci, showering him with warm inquiries and eagerly caring about his injuries.

While Chen Fan was left hanging to the side.

He was still standing on the stairs, maintaining that awkward posture like a stone statue.

Not a single person looked at him.

Not a single person asked him what had happened.

Not a single person noticed his panicked, self-blaming gaze.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back down.

True.

The scene the family members saw was precisely the moment he reached out to push someone.

The ironclad evidence was like a mountain; how could he explain?

Say "I didn't mean it"???

Say "The voice pack scared me"???

Say "I watched too many Hongguo short dramas"???

Ridiculous, who would believe that?

Ah, this time even jumping into the Yellow River won't wash it clean!

Chen Fan silently withdrew that hand suspended in mid-air, lowered his head, and looked at his own toes.

His throat felt blocked by something, unable to swallow it down or spit it out.

He even somewhat wished that the person who had just rolled down the stairs was himself.

If he was the one who fell, would the family members also surround him like this, showering him with warm inquiries and full of worry for him?

Probably... not.

After all, he had only returned home for a few days; how could he compare to Brother Jing Ci, whom they had lived with day and night for eighteen years?

Just when Chen Fan's throat felt blocked and his eye sockets turned sour,

a familiar voice rang out in his mind once again.

Different from the previous sarcastic jeers, this time the voice carried a lazy, all-seeing mockery.

[Heh.]

[This bastard plays the bitter flesh trick quite convincingly, huh?]

[Falling the moment he says so, not hesitating at all.]

[This melodramatic script is truly identical to the previous life.]

Chen Fan's heart gave a thump.

(꒪ꇴ꒪(꒪ꇴ꒪;) Huh?????

[In the previous life he was also like this, performing a fake fall on the stairs, falling in such a miserable manner!]

[Then weeping and wailing, saying he accidentally slipped, and it had nothing to do with his younger brother.]

[Yet that look, that tone, that grievance of wanting to speak but holding back, was clearly proclaiming to everyone:]

["My younger brother pushed me, but I am magnanimous, I won't hold it against him".]

[That group of blind-eyed and heart-blind idiots exploded on the spot!]

[Without saying another word, they beat this Venerable One up violently!]

[If not for this Venerable One having a tough life, that beating could have sent this Venerable One to the Netherworld.]

[The most ridiculous thing is that afterwards they still forced this Venerable One to be deeply grateful, saying things like "Look how kind Xiao Ci is, even after being pushed down the stairs by you he still speaks up for you, why aren't you kneeling down to thank him"...]

[This Venerable One still remembers to this day, the Fake Young Master was lying in the stupid father's arms, weakly smiling at this Venerable One.]

[The smugness in those eyes~~~]

[Tsk tsk, as sinister as a weasel that successfully stole a chicken.]

[Who could have imagined that an outdated trick like the bitter flesh play, he used his whole life, and every single time it worked.]

[Come to think of it, with this group of family members who were biased to the bone backing him up, of course he had nothing to fear.]

The voice pack's voice paused for half a beat.

Immediately afterwards, the mocking tone in its voice grew even thicker.

[In this lifetime his acting skills actually improved, falling even more convincingly!]

[If this Venerable One didn't already know his true colors early on, I'd probably even start to doubt! Could it really be that this Venerable One accidentally pushed him down?]

[However, thinking about it carefully makes it clear.]

[Why was he pressing so close to this Venerable One?]

[A grown man, walking as if he couldn't wait to press against this Venerable One's back; anyone who didn't know would think he was this Venerable One's personal bodyguard.]

[What normal person walks like that?]

[Of course it's because he had long planned to make an issue on the stairs.]

[This Venerable One merely slipped a foot, and before my hand even touched him, he sprang backward himself.]

[That movement, tsk tsk, specially rehearsed, right?]

[This move of "borrowing force to strike back" was used so brilliantly.]

[Outsiders looked at it as this Venerable One pushing him, but in reality he jumped backward himself.]

[Not only does it nail this Venerable One firmly to the pillar of shame of being the "vicious real young master", but it also lets this group of blind-eyed and heart-blind idiots revolve around him and shower him with warm inquiries.]

[Killing two birds with one stone.]

[What a calculation.]

[But I have to say, this fake goods is truly ruthless enough to himself!]

[Daring to fake a fall down such a high staircase, wasn't he afraid that one careless move would truly cripple himself?]

[Or is it to say, to frame this Venerable One, he'd even throw away his life?]

[Damn bastard, ruthless enough.]

[This Venerable One actually underestimated him.]

After listening, Chen Fan almost failed to catch his breath.

Brother Hao!!!

Can you be even more shameless?!

Just now it was clearly you howling and shouting ghost-like in my head, scaring my foot into slipping!!!

In my panic my hands grabbed blindly, which is why I accidentally pushed Brother Jing Ci down!

I witnessed this matter with my own eyes and committed it with my own hands!

How did it become him "borrowing force to strike back" and "jumping backward himself" when it reached your mouth?!!

Look at that face of his!

Snot and tears smeared all over his face, and his glasses flew three meters away!

You telling me he's acting?!

Do you take him for an Oscar Best Actor!

Why don't you come act one this realistic for me to see?!!

A person takes responsibility for what they do.

The person was indeed pushed by me; no matter the reason, this is the fact.

I, Chen Fan, can be clumsy, can be stupid, can be deceived by people.

But I cannot be shameless.

I cannot clearly have done it myself, yet turn around and make false accusations, throwing the blame onto the victim.

Wouldn't I truly become a vicious real young master then?!

Although I haven't read many books of sages, I still have this bit of a man's sense of responsibility!

Brother Hao, don't even think about leading me astray and making me learn from you by turning things around and making false accusations!!!

Meanwhile.

The Chen family members downstairs froze collectively.

Chen Jianguo was holding his adopted son's hand, his movement suddenly stiffening.

Wang Xiaoyun's hands supporting her adopted son's head paused slightly.

The Four Sisters all trembled in their delicate bodies simultaneously, their gazes meeting in mid-air.

What? (ｷ｀ﾟДﾟ´)!!!

Xiao Ci... fake-fell?

To frame Xiaofan?

Impossible, right?!! ∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ

How could Xiao Ci be this kind of person?!

Since he was young, he couldn't even lie; every time he did something wrong he took the initiative to admit it, and when criticized he would only nod with red eye sockets!

Such an obedient and sensible child.

How could he use his own life to act out a bitter flesh play?!!
