Chapter 309: Three Months without Leaving the Bed _1

“Hu San, I give you a task: make him lie in bed for a full three months, and I’ll spare you. Otherwise, prepare to accept the Hu Family’s discipline,” Xu Fan said indifferently to Hu San below.

“Thank you, big brother! Thank you, big brother!” Hu San said excitedly to Xu Fan.

Hearing that there was finally a way to avoid the family discipline, Hu San finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if Xu Fan hadn’t mentioned it, Hu San wouldn’t have let Li Niu off the hook. If not for him, Hu San wouldn’t have been unwittingly dragged into the conflict with Xu Fan and nearly subjected to the Hu Family’s discipline.

Even if Xu Fan forgave him, after all, Hu San had already made a bad impression on the new boss, Zhao Dong, which would be very difficult to reverse, and it was all because of Li Niu.

So, both publicly and privately, Hu San couldn’t let Li Niu off.

To have him lie in bed for three months was an act of great mercy from Xu Fan; had he offended someone of the Hu Family, he might have already been thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.

“Boss Hu, I am your fitness coach, please, I really know I was wrong...” Li Niu, seeing the murderous look in Hu San’s eyes, quickly pleaded with him.

“Li Niu, don’t blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not watching who you offend. Of all people, you had to provoke Mr. Xu, someone with extraordinary energy. Considering our acquaintance, I won’t make it too hard for you. Just lying in bed for three months should be enough. There’s an old saying that it takes a hundred days to recover from muscle and bone injuries. I’ll help you ‘loosen’ those muscles and bones. Old Seven here, since you broke his arm, I think it’s only fair that you ‘compensate’ him with another arm!” Hu San rubbed his wrists and looked at Li Niu cruelly.

In this world, there is always a nemesis for someone. Although Li Niu was not at all afraid of Xu Fan and even repeatedly clashed with him, when facing Hu San, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, not even daring to harbor a thought of resistance.

He had heard all about the Hu Family’s methods back at the gym, and even though he was big and strong, not necessarily weaker than Hu San, he had a family to think about and didn’t dare to confront the Hu Family’s power head-on.

With a “snap,” a pig-like scream then rose from the edge of the playground.

Xu Fan had already left with Tongtong to spare him the cruelty of the scene. Only after Li Niu’s screams echoed did Xu Fan shake his head, holding Tongtong and slowly walking towards Xu Yixue’s building in District One.

Xu Fan then dialed Xu Yixue’s number, and after waiting for around ten seconds, Xu Yixue finally answered.

As soon as the call connected, Tongtong dodged Xu Fan’s hand and grabbed the phone.

“Mommy, when are you and Auntie coming back? Tongtong misses you so much, and din-din is almost ready. We’re just waiting for you two to come home and eat,” Tongtong spoke into the phone.

“Ah? Is it already time for dinner?” Xu Yixue said, sounding a bit groggy.

Clearly, Xu Yixue was so engrossed in work that she had lost track of time; it was already past seven, even though she was supposed to finish work at six. She hadn’t noticed how late it had gotten.

Xu Fan furrowed his brows; Xu Yixue’s voice was filled with exhaustion. It was obvious that the issues Xinghai Media was facing were not trivial matters.

“Come back home for dinner first, don’t let yourself starve,” Xu Fan gently said on the phone.

“Okay, okay, Xiaoning and I will finish up the last bit of business and head home right away,” Xu Yixue said tiredly.

“I should come and pick you guys up. You handle what you need to; I reckon it’ll take me around fifteen minutes to get there,” Xu Fan said over the phone.

From what Xu Yixue had said, he knew that she and Ye Xiaoning must have had an incredibly busy day.

Normally, Ye Xiaoning would be able to drive for Xu Yixue, but these past few days, Ye Xiaoning had become the company’s lead warrior facing the stock market crisis, bearing even greater pressure than Xu Yixue. Although Ye Xiaoning’s voice wasn’t heard on the phone, one could imagine how exhausted she must be.

Xu Fan was a little uneasy about letting two people, who had been working intensely all day, drive.

“Tongtong, let’s go pick up Mommy,” said Xu Fan, picking up Tongtong and getting ready to leave.

“Yay!” Tongtong agreed, her face alight with excitement.
