50: Chapter 50 Who says I'm the real young master? The struggle for the throne has always been like this!

The struggle for the heirship has always been like this!

Faced with the voice pack's upside-down statements,

Chen Fan almost lost his composure.

Brother Hao!!!

Will you just shut up?!

I am apologizing sincerely here!

What kind of trouble are you stirring up here?!

What do you mean by "anyway, this Immortal Venerable doesn't belong here in the first place"?!

How old are you?!

When you do something wrong, instead of thinking about admitting it, you only think about running away?!

A person must bear the consequences of his own actions!

Even a kindergarten kid understands this principle!

Not only do you refuse to admit your mistakes, but you also turn around and falsely accuse others of framing you!

What kind of Immortal Venerable are you?!

I think you're just a coward venerable!

Chen Fan took a deep breath and solemnly apologized to Chen Jingci once again:

"Big Brother Jing Ci, (＞ people＜;) I'm sorry."

"I shouldn't have turned around so recklessly. It's all my fault that you got hurt like this, and I admit it."

"Tell me how you want me to make it up to you!"

"As long as I can do it, I will never decline!"

"……"

His voice was hoarse.

His gaze was clear.

There was not a shred of shirking responsibility or sophistry.

Hearing this,

Chen Jingci became even more dumbfounded.

He hadn't expected Chen Fan to be so principled, not only refusing to kick him while he was down,

but instead generously admitting his mistake and apologizing to him sincerely!

Based on the psychological micro-expressions he had studied,

he could be one hundred percent sure that Chen Fan was being heartfelt.

The other party had indeed accidentally pushed him down the stairs and didn't mean to do it!

Thinking of this,

Chen Jingci's mood suddenly became extremely complicated.

If it were anyone else,

he might have just gone with the flow, shown some magnanimity, spared others where possible, and kept things pleasant for the future.

But the other party was the real young master.

That wouldn't do.

Who made him the Fake Young Master?

The two of them were naturally opposed.

Arch-enemies.

The struggle for the heirship had always been like this.

If there was a chance in the future, he would still step on the other party to death without hesitation.

As for now...

Since the other party had acted to this extent in front of the whole family, what else could he do?

Of course, it was to showcase his own tolerance and magnanimity.

And forgive him.

Chen Jingci took a deep breath, endured the pain all over his body, and struggled to stand up from the ground.

He reached out and patted Chen Fan's shoulder.

On his pale face, he squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying:

"Xiao Fan, what are you saying?"

"We are biological brothers from different fathers and mothers after all. As an older brother, how could I possibly blame you?"

"Not to mention I already knew you didn't mean it!"

"Even if you pushed me down the stairs on purpose, as your older brother, I would never be angry with you."

"……"

He paused, his tone becoming deeper, carrying a tragic sense of self-sacrifice:

"Because I monopolized the family's pampering that belonged to you for eighteen years. It's only right for you to have complaints against me."

"It's normal for you to hate me."

"It would be abnormal if you didn't hate me."

"Therefore, whether you intended it or not today, I won't blame you."

"I've acknowledged you as my younger brother."

"……"

These words were

magnanimous.

affectionate.

Putting himself in an extremely low position while lifting the other party onto the moral high ground,

it could be called a perfect little essay.

In his heart, Chen Jingci secretly gave himself a thumbs-up.

With this rhetoric coming out, wouldn't the real young master be moved to tears?

Wouldn't he look up to him with awe?

Sure enough,

after hearing these words, Chen Fan was trembling all over.

He was trembling from being moved.

He raised his head, looked at Chen Jingci with tear-blurred eyes, his lips trembled several times, and he shouted:

"Jing Ci giegie~~~"

"……"

This cry of "giegie" was soul-stirring and filled with deep affection.

The ending note rose with a crying tone, sweet and sticky, as if it had just been scooped out of a honey jar.

Chen Jingci was jolted all over by this cry of "giegie".

But since the act had reached this point, he absolutely could not chicken out.

He also looked back affectionately and responded softly:

"Xiao Fan didi~~~"

"……"

The brothers' eyes met, brimming with bromance.

Their hands held each other, fingers interlocked, as if the next second they would swear brotherhood on the spot and make a blood oath.

One had tears in his eyes, feeling that having an older brother was truly wonderful.

One forced a smile, boasting that his acting skills had already reached the Transcendent realm.

The scene was aesthetic, like a freeze-frame shot from a youth idol drama.

"giegie~~~"

"didi~~~"

"Jing Ci giegie~~~"

"Xiao Fan didi~~~"

"……"

The real and Fake Young Masters ignored everyone else and gazed at each other affectionately.

The older brother was friendly and the younger brother respectful, deeply touching.

However, the members of the Chen family standing aside and witnessing the whole process had expressions that were more bizarre than the last.

Those whose mouths twitched were twitching.

Those whose eye corners cramped were cramping.

If they hadn't been able to hear Chen Fan's "inner voice" and only saw this scene of "brotherly harmony", they would most likely have been moved to tears with relief.

But the problem was, they could hear it!

The version they heard and the heartwarming scene before their eyes were completely two different things!

Xiao Fan said "I pushed him" with his mouth, full of guilt on his face.

But in his heart, he was singing 《What a Good Day》!

And "Sayonara"?!

And "Never see each other again"?!

He was willing to admit that he was the one who pushed him, not because it was the truth, but in order to leave this family!!!

He figured they would definitely favor Xiao Ci, so he simply broke the jar and let it shatter, directly acting as the scapegoat intending to leave fair and square!

As for Xiao Ci, with his mouth he said "I knew you didn't mean it" and "I won't blame you even if you did it on purpose".

But in reality, he completely fake-fell!

Yet he still purposely went along with the mistake and admitted to the lie that "Xiao Fan pushed him"!

One wanted to run.

One was acting.

And they were still acting out some "deep brotherhood" in front of them!

Were they making fools of them, their family members?!

Chen Jianguo's expression sank.

Wang Xiaoyun's eye rims turned red, and this time it wasn't from being moved, but from being angered.

The Four Sisters' gazes swept back and forth between the two younger brothers, their expression management collectively losing control.

No.

Absolutely not.

Right was right, and wrong was wrong.

They must expose the truth.

They absolutely could not watch idly as Xiao Fan suffered an unredressed grievance, became more and more disappointed with them, and finally really ran away from home!

They wanted Xiao Fan to know.

They were definitely not biased parents!

Chen Jianguo took a deep breath, stepped forward, coughed, and interrupted the brothers' "bromantic gaze".

"Ahem."

The real and Fake Young Masters turned their heads at the same time.

Chen Jingci's eye rims were red, and Chen Fan's eyes were filled with tears.

Their hands were still clasped together, as if glued with 502 glue.

"Xiao Fan."

Chen Jianguo tried his best to make his tone sound gentle and fair:

"You said just now that you were the one who pushed your older brother down the stairs?"

"……"

Chen Fan nodded vigorously: "Yeah! It was me! It was me! It was definitely me!"

"……"

Chen Jianguo raised an eyebrow: "Is there any misunderstanding in this? You can speak out."

"……"

Chen Fan blinked blankly: "... Misunderstanding?"

"Right." Chen Jianguo slowed down his speech, guiding him patiently.

"You don't have to worry about us being biased."

"We are very fair and will never wrong a good person, nor will we let a bad person off."

"……"

Wang Xiaoyun hurriedly nodded in agreement:

"That's right, right, right! Xiao Fan, if you have any grievances, just say it! Mom will make decisions for you!"

"……"

Chen Xuening pushed up her glasses, her attitude forceful:

"There is a lack of evidence currently, and we cannot determine who is right and who is wrong yet!"

"……"

Chen Yutong gently took over:

"Physical injuries can be cured, but grievances in the heart cannot be bottled up. Xiao Fan, just tell the truth."

"……"

Chen Nianan poked half her face out from behind the drawing board and muttered softly:

"I... I don't think you pushed him."

"……"

Chen Xingyue was carefree and directly waved her hand:

"Exactly! Stinky little brother, stop taking the blame for everything!"

"With this Young Miss here, nobody can even think of wronging you!"

"……"

The family all stared fixedly at Chen Fan, their gazes fervent.

Those eyes clearly said!

We believe you! We won't be biased!

You don't have to take the blame for your brother! Hurry up and tell the truth!

Chen Fan was dumbfounded.

Completely dumbfounded.

He opened his mouth, his mind full of black-person question marks???

No?

I already admitted that I pushed him!

What other misunderstanding is there?

What other truth do you want?

It was just me accidentally pushing Big Brother Jing Ci down!

Isn't this obvious?!

What on earth are Dad, Mom, and the sisters thinking?

Why don't they believe me when I tell the truth?!

I was the one who pushed him!

Chen Fan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and could only seriously emphasize it once more:

"Dad, Mom, sisters, it really was me who accidentally pushed Big Brother Jing Ci down the stairs."

"There's no misunderstanding."

"I'll take full responsibility for my own actions!"

"……"

The Chen family: "……"

This child, why is he so stubborn?!
