A sudden slap sent Wang Mengqi to the ground.
Her forehead hit the coffee table.
Blood immediately flowed.
"I'll kill you!"
Seeing his mother bleeding from her head.
Li Xiang let out an angry scream and charged at his biological father, Li Chen, holding a cake knife.
Although Li Chen was his father.
In his heart, he was no better than a stranger.
Because he rarely saw Li Chen.
And every time, Li Chen acted like a bad person.
He even hit and scolded his mother.
"You little brat, you're tired of living, aren't you? You actually want to kill your own father?" Li Chen snorted heavily and kicked Li Xiang several meters away.
If Chen Nan hadn't quickly caught Li Xiang in mid-air.
He would have crashed into the wall.
But even so.
Li Xiang cried out in pain.
Seeing her son's pale face and tears streaming down his cheeks, Wang Mengqi felt as if her heart had been cut by a knife.
She glared at him, gritting her teeth, "Li Chen, this is your son!"
"They say even tigers don't eat their cubs, why are you being so cruel?"
Pah!
Li Chen spat viciously, his face contorted with rage. "Who can prove he's my son?"
"I..." Wang Mengqi was stunned.
She never expected Li Chen to say such a thing.
Li Chen angrily said, "When we divorced, you promised me you wouldn't find another man before our son turned eighteen."
"Look at you now, he's only eight and you're bringing another man home to eat and drink."
"How can you expect me to believe you?"
"How can you expect me to believe he's my son?"
Chen Nan said politely, "Mr. Li, there must be some misunderstanding. My relationship with Ms. Wang is not what you think..."
Before he could finish the word "think."
Li Chen glared at him furiously. "Shut up, is it your place, you little nobody, to speak here?"
"Just a bumpkin from the countryside."
"Go pee and see what you're made of."
"I'm telling you, you'd better stay away from them, mother and son."
"Otherwise, I'll beat you every time I see you!"
"Come on, dare you touch me!" Chen Nan extended his head.
Crack!
Li Chen grabbed the red wine bottle and smashed it towards Chen Nan under Wang Mengqi's horrified gaze.
Crack!
The bottle shattered on Chen Nan's head, breaking instantly.
The red wine inside instantly dyed Chen Nan's white shirt red.
It looked shocking.
But Chen Nan wasn't flustered at all.
He even grinned, revealing a chilling smile. "You hit me first!"
Li Chen's eyes widened. "I hit you, what can you do about it?"
"You wouldn't dare to counterattack..."
Before he could finish speaking.
Chen Nan grabbed his collar and pulled him into his embrace.
Li Chen let out a scream, losing his balance and leaning towards Chen Nan.
At the same time.
Chen Nan raised his knee and slammed it into the opponent's face.
Accompanied by Li Chen's heart-wrenching scream, his nose bridge instantly caved in, and blood poured out.
It was a gruesome sight.
Then Chen Nan kicked him flying out of the room.
The entire process was seamless, flowing like water.
Li Xiang not only felt no fear after seeing this, but his face was even excited, causing him to forget his agreement with Qinglong. "Dad, keep hitting him, he's not dead yet!"
Chen Nan's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
What kind of ideology had Qinglong instilled in this child!
"Wang Mengqi, you violated our agreement, I'm going to take back custody of our son!" Li Chen stood up, his face covered in blood, his eyes full of malice. "And you, you little nobody, if I don't kill you, my surname isn't Li!"
Then, he covered his nose and quickly fled Wang Mengqi's home.
Bang!
Wang Mengqi slammed the door shut and glared at her son, "Why did you call him Dad just now?"
Li Xiang seemed surprised that his loving mother was angry.
This had never happened in his memory.
So much so that he was stunned for a long time.
A trace of fear appeared in his eyes.
Seeing her son remain silent, Wang Mengqi turned her gaze to Chen Nan, and asked through gritted teeth, "Did you privately let my son call you Dad?"
"Chen, do you really think you've gone too far?"
"Do you know what that word 'Dad' means to me?"
"The reason I got custody of him was because I once promised not to find another man before he turned eighteen."
"And now, my son's custody is about to be taken back by that scumbag!"
"This is all because of you!" she said, squatting on the ground, hugging her head, and sobbing helplessly.
"Qinglong, this is all your fault!" Chen Nan felt his head was about to explode. "How about this, I'll go visit the celestial realm, or go back to the underworld. You deal with this mess yourself."
Qinglong immediately conceded. "Brother Nan, I was wrong!"
"I'm not good at handling this kind of thing."
"Please help me fix this mess!"
His voice carried a hint of guilt, no longer the flippant tone of before.
Chen Nan sighed inwardly.
Since Qinglong had apologized,
This matter could only be resolved by himself.
He looked at Wang Mengqi, who was squatting on the ground crying, and said softly, "Ms. Wang, I admit it was my fault regarding the way he addresses me, and it's too late to say anything now."
"However, this matter started because of me."
"I will definitely not let Li Chen take Li Xiang away from you."
"Mom, don't cry, don't cry!" Li Xiang, his voice choked with sobs, came to his mother's side. "I really want Uncle Chen to be my dad, I want him to live with us!"
Wang Mengqi cried even harder.
Was this really Chen Nan's fault?
If she hadn't failed to give her son a complete family.
How could things have escalated to this point?
Chen Nan didn't say anything more.
He got up and went to the bathroom, fetched a broom and mop, cleaned up the broken glass on the floor, and mopped up the spilled red wine.
At the same time.
Wang Mengqi stopped crying and sat on the sofa, holding a tissue to her forehead wound.
Her face was pale, showing no joy or sorrow.
Her son's birthday turning out this way.
Was not what she wanted.
Chen Nan cleared his throat and said somewhat awkwardly, "Do you have a medicine box at home? Let me treat your wound!"
"No need, I can handle this small matter myself." Wang Mengqi looked at Chen Nan expressionlessly and said, "Our cooperation ends here."
"After the rent is due at the end of this month, you should move out!"
"Or you can move out tonight!"
"Wherever you go, as long as you leave the capital."
Li Xiang pursed his lips, tears welling up in his eyes. "Mom, why are you driving Uncle Chen away? I don't want him to leave!"
Wang Mengqi's emotions broke, and she let out a shrill scream. "I'm doing this for his own good! If he doesn't leave, he'll die, he'll die, do you understand?!"
