Everyone Loves the Villainous Scumbag [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 34
Luo Fu must have been in trouble.
Just as Luo Jianghe was thinking this, Luo Xi noticed from behind that Luo Mu was walking unnaturally.
“Mom, did you just fall?” She began to worry about her mother.
“Mom, you cannot drive like this. It is better if we go together,” Luo Jianghe said uneasily.
Fu Chen also walked over from the living room, standing by the stairs as he said to them, “I can drive. I can take you there.”
Luo Jianghe did not have time for pleasantries and simply asked Fu Chen, “Do you have a driver’s license?”
Fu Chen replied, “I just got it.”
After saying that, he asked Luo Mu, “Auntie, where are we going?”
Luo Mu had a pale face, and her eyes were red as she took a shaky breath and said, “The hospital.”
Upon hearing this, both Luo Jianghe and Luo Xi froze.
“The hospital?” He had expected to go to the police station or the company.
Luo Mu remained silent and refused to speak, her body trembling continuously. Luo Xi wanted to keep questioning her, but Luo Jianghe gave her hand a tug. Although she was anxious, she understood her brother’s hint and stopped pressuring Luo Mu to talk. Whatever had happened, they would know once they reached the hospital.
Luo Mu could not win against Luo Jianghe and the others, so she agreed to take them along. Thus, with Fu Chen driving and Aunt Wang staying behind to watch the house, the four of them set off for the hospital.
Before leaving for the hospital, Luo Jianghe grabbed the family medical kit. After getting into the car, he sat in the front passenger seat while Luo Xi and Luo Mu sat in the back. Luo Xi helped treat Luo Mu’s wound. Perhaps because she had been running too fast down the stairs earlier, Luo Mu had fallen at the landing, scraping her knee and causing it to bleed. Fortunately, the wound was not large. After a simple cleaning and applying a Band-Aid, it did not affect her walking.
The Luo family lived in a good area close to the hospital, so they arrived quickly. Police officers were already inside, and after seeing the Luo family, they informed them of the situation.
“A body was discovered in an abandoned building. The time of death was confirmed to be within the last two days. Based on the scene, the autopsy, and surveillance footage, Luo Tian committed suicide. We found his identity on the documents he was carrying and notified his relatives to come and claim the body.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Mu could no longer stand. Luo Jianghe quickly supported her from the side to prevent her from falling to the floor.
Luo Xi could not wrap her head around the situation. She shook her head, rejecting the officer’s words: “You are lying! How could my dad commit suicide? He just went on a business trip recently. He is not even in the city right now! You are talking nonsense!”
Seeing that Luo Mu had stabilized, Luo Jianghe said to Fu Chen, who was standing nearby, “Help me watch over my mother.”
A look of concern flashed in Fu Chen’s eyes, and he nodded to Luo Jianghe. Only then did Luo Jianghe walk over to Luo Xi, grabbing her shoulders to signal her to stay calm.
“Brother! Sob! Waaaaah! They are lying, they are lying!”
Luo Xi cried until her tears and snot were a mess. It looked quite ugly, but it made Luo Jianghe’s heart ache. He also had a sister. Although this girl was clearly not his actual sister, he felt for her just as he would his own. He could not quite explain why he felt this way.
The police led them to the morgue to verify the identity, and Luo Jianghe and the others claimed the body. Luo Tian’s body was like a fragmented piece of a puzzle and was no longer whole. However, they could still recognize through the details that this was indeed their father and her husband.
Luo Jianghe did not need to look; the system had already informed him of the result. Luo Xi and Luo Mu, however, could not bear it. After claiming the body, Luo Jianghe contacted the funeral home and then brought his mother and sister to sit on the chairs outside. Fearing they might become dehydrated from crying, he went out to buy drinks.
He claimed to be buying drinks, but he was actually using it as an excuse to step out and catch his breath. The atmosphere inside was too suffocating. After buying the drinks, Luo Jianghe stood outside the hospital building for a while. He breathed for a bit, but he still felt irritable.
“Dammit!” Eventually, he could only kick the wall hard to vent his frustration.
He had already accepted the fact that the Luo family would lose their source of income. Now that his livestreaming was gradually picking up, everything was supposed to be heading in a better direction. He never expected that Luo Fu would choose suicide because of his debts.
Now the Luo family still had two elderly people to support. Luo Jianghe was not afraid of the pressure, but he was thinking further ahead. Before long, he would also leave this world. He did not know if the Luo mother and daughter would be able to handle it. Especially Luo Mu, having lost her husband in middle age and facing family bankruptcy, would she be able to accept losing her son as well?
“Luo Jianghe.” A voice calling him sounded from behind.
In that instant, Luo Jianghe felt the soul within his body tremble. The same family members, the same social background; he almost felt as if he had merged into this world, like flesh and skin bonding together. When he snapped back to his senses, it felt as if his connection to this world was being violently torn away.
He felt unsteady and fell backward, but he was caught by a firm chest.
“Do not push yourself.” Fu Chen took the plastic bag of drinks from his hand.
When Fu Chen looked at Luo Jianghe, there was a sense of heartache that even he did not notice. The scent of jasmine green tea on the youth was like a trap that accurately caught and bound him. Initially, Fu Chen was only interested in Luo Jianghe, but the more he understood him, the more he found him to be a simple and stubborn person.
Luo Jianghe did not have much of a foundation to stand on in this world, and his body was not strong. His thin waist looked as if it could break with a single pinch. Moreover, he was so good-looking that one could not help but keep their eyes on him. But his temper was truly something else.
For instance, as soon as Luo Jianghe regained his footing, he pushed the helpful Fu Chen away.
“I am fine.”
Fu Chen’s brow furrowed slightly. He could not understand why it would hurt to rely on him just a little bit. Why did Luo Jianghe have to be so stubborn? Yet, he found himself unable to just leave Luo Jianghe alone.
What is the definition of being “wrapped around someone’s finger”? He was currently being held tight by Luo Jianghe!
After pushing Fu Chen away, Luo Jianghe prepared to head back into the hospital. He was worried about his mother and sister, as their emotions were currently in a terrible state. Since Luo Fu was not actually his biological father and Luo Jianghe was not very familiar with him, having spoken to him only a handful of times, his death itself was not a massive blow to Luo Jianghe.
When Luo Jianghe said he was fine, he actually was fine. At least psychologically, he was not in too much pain; he simply could not help but worry about the mother and daughter. Since he had taken over this body, it was difficult for him to push away the responsibilities that came with it.
Just as he was about to step out of Fu Chen’s embrace, his hand was grabbed. It was Fu Chen. Not only did Fu Chen hold his hand, but he also lifted it high. Driven by the guiding motion, Luo Jianghe lifted his chin and looked at Fu Chen behind him: “What are you do…”
Before he could finish, he felt himself fall into a firm chest, and then his chin was gripped as a kiss was pressed onto his lips. It was not very passionate, but the man pushed his wet tongue into his mouth.
“Mmph!” His face flushed red with shame.
By the outer wall of the hospital morgue, there were not many people passing by. He could not struggle free; he could not move his head, and he could not free his hands. Fu Chen took an inch and wanted a mile. He let go of his hand, tightened his grip on his waist, and pulled him into his arms. The youth’s eyelashes brushed against his, feeling itchy, making Fu Chen even more unwilling to let go of the person in his arms.
In the end, it was only after Luo Jianghe resorted to both pushing and kicking that he managed to separate from Fu Chen. He covered his mouth and wiped it hard with his sleeve. To be honest, being kissed by Fu Chen was not exactly disgusting, but he certainly did not like it.
“Whatever Yu Wuyang can do, I can do too. Do you see me now, Luo Jianghe?”
If a vulnerable Luo Jianghe could see him, then even using some despicable means would be fine.
“Are you crazy, Fu Chen? What time do you think it is? Is it fun to play with me like this?”
Luo Jianghe’s eyes were red, partly because he had been kissed until he was breathless, and more so because he felt wronged and angry. Of all people to learn from, Fu Chen had to learn from that guy Yu Wuyang?! His head was already spinning from everything else, and Fu Chen’s sincerity just made him lose his words entirely.
Hearing this, Fu Chen frowned and explained, “I am not playing with you. I hope you will seriously consider our…”
“Enough!”
Before he could finish, Luo Jianghe had already clenched his fists and angrily interrupted Fu Chen’s words. Fu Chen stared blankly at Luo Jianghe, watching him guard himself like a puppy wary of a bad person. For a moment, he was speechless.
“There is no need to consider. I will give you my answer right now.” Luo Jianghe’s expression cooled significantly. “The answer is that I do not like you, and you do not need to waste your energy testing me over and over again. It is useless!”
“If it is just being friends, our relationship can be very good. I can treat you like a brother. But as for a romantic relationship, forget it. I will not consider you.”
Fu Chen looked at Luo Jianghe’s still-red eyes and swollen lips. He found it somewhat hard to believe that this soft, warm, and sweet mouth could utter such cold words. Fu Chen thought to himself that Luo Jianghe’s words, which made one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, were not much different from the wind in the morgue.
Locking his gaze onto Luo Jianghe’s retreating back, Fu Chen licked the corner of his mouth. Luo Jianghe had struggled hard earlier and bitten his lip, so there was now a faint taste of blood in his mouth.
Enough? He had already tasted it. There is a saying about getting a taste for something. He certainly could not get enough now.
It was a pity that the first bite of cake was tasted by that brat Yu Wuyang, which made him feel irritable. He could not help but wonder if the person kissing Luo Jianghe today had been Yu Wuyang, would Luo Jianghe have rejected him so coldly? This kind of scenario that had clearly not happened still made Fu Chen feel anxious.
He hated the idea of Luo Jianghe being snatched away; he did not want Luo Jianghe’s gaze to fall on anyone other than himself. Today’s events had made Fu Chen think that a vulnerable Luo Jianghe would be easy to take advantage of, but Luo Jianghe was stronger than he had imagined. Furthermore, through today’s interaction, Fu Chen had come to understand one thing, and that was that being forceful was useless against Luo Jianghe.
He knew he had been a bit excessive today, but if he could kiss Luo Jianghe and hold him in his arms like that, he did not regret it. Even if he had to do it all over again, he would still do the same thing.
