Chapter 38 Should we help others within our means?
Several days later, Cao Jinpeng returned to school, the bruises on his face still fresh.
The second brother, Lü Zhendong, asked with concern, "Boss, what's wrong? Did someone bully you? Tell us, and we brothers will definitely avenge you!"
Cao Jinpeng snorted coldly, looked at Li Xiaofeng with hostility, and said through gritted teeth, "Third brother, I won't ask about anything else from last night, but is that BMW by the roadside yours? Did you see me?"
Li Xiaofeng nodded and said in a calm tone, "Yes, it was me. I saw it all!"
Cao Jinpeng gritted his teeth and continued, "We're all brothers from the same dormitory. You just watched me get beaten up outside, why didn't you come up and help me?"
Lu Zhendong and Cheng Zhiyuan's scrutinizing gazes also turned to Li Xiaofeng. Lu Zhendong couldn't wait to ask, "Third brother, is what the eldest brother said true?"
We're all brothers in the same dorm. Even if you have a conflict with the eldest, you can't just stand by and watch him die. What if something happens to him?
Li Xiaofeng chuckled and said irritably, "It's mainly because I'm afraid of losing face!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Jinpeng's face flushed slightly, and his expression became somewhat embarrassed, but he quickly regained his angry expression.
Lu Zhendong pressed on, "Third brother, what do you mean?"
Li Xiaofeng sneered and said in a calm tone, "Boss, I didn't tell them about your matter before, but now that you've put it this way, I have no choice but to tell them the whole story!"
"Here's what happened, as you all know, the boss likes that Xia Anna. He chases after her, spends money on her, and fawns over her, but she ignores him!"
"That woman Xia Anna is indeed immoral, but if she doesn't agree, you, Boss Cao, can't just drag her away by force, that's illegal. As a result, she got beaten up by Brother Long and his gang of thugs!"
Then, Li Xiaofeng asked his two roommates with a half-smile, "If you two were there, would you rush up and fight with Brother Long and his gang?"
Lu Zhendong said somewhat unwillingly, "We can't just stand by and watch the boss get beaten up!"
"Second brother, don't you understand the key point? What if they turn around and accuse our Boss Cao of attempted rape? Then I'll become Boss Cao's accomplice!"
Cao Jinpeng, his face grim and displeased, said, "How could I be so stupid? How could I possibly call the police? Those thugs were even less likely to call the police!"
Li Xiaofeng sneered, "Since you can cause trouble, you can handle it yourself. Why should you rely on others? Those thugs are all big and strong. If I went over there, I'd be a complete waste!"
"Third brother, I've been so good to you, even introducing you to a big construction site, and this is how you thank me?"
"Boss, you introduce me to construction sites and I'll give you a commission. We're just business partners. Do you think you've saved my life?"
Second brother, fourth brother, tell me the truth, in that situation, would you have rushed in to fight for the eldest brother? Even without what happened before, shouldn't you help others within your capabilities?
Lü Zhendong and Cheng Zhiyuan exchanged a glance and remained silent.
"If you can't do it yourselves, don't try to morally blackmail others!"
Lü Zhendong sighed, still intending to force an explanation: "No, third brother, I think..."
"Second brother, if you want to help the eldest brother, no problem. Fourth brother, you should know that guy called Brother Long, right? You two seemed to know each other well at the KTV last time. Don't tell me you don't know him."
So, you lure that Brother Long out and have Second Brother fight him one-on-one to avenge our boss. I don't have the ability myself, Second Brother, I have faith in you!
"Third brother, why are you saying such spiteful things!"
"You want to be a hero? Here's your chance to be a hero. Back then, Brother Long had several helpers. You got the upper hand in the one-on-one fight!"
"What, are you chickening out? You criticize others for speaking so passionately, but when it comes to yourself, you're applying double standards? You're really something!"
Seeing that Lü Zhendong and Cheng Zhiyuan remained silent, Cao Jinpeng gritted his teeth again and said, "Then tell me, what about your date with Jiang Xueying? Don't you owe me an explanation?"
Hearing what their leader Cao Jinpeng said, Lü Zhendong and Cheng Zhiyuan's gazes fell on Li Xiaofeng again.
"Boss, let me ask you first, what is your relationship with Jiang Xueying?"
"I...we're childhood sweethearts!"
"So you're saying you and she aren't in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, right? I remember when you were pursuing Liu Qianqian, Lao Si even asked you not to have both of them, and you said you could pursue whoever you wanted, right?"
Cao Jinpeng was speechless for a moment.
Li Xiaofeng continued, "Secondly, Jiang Xueying and I are now in a cooperative relationship. To be honest, this construction site belongs to the Jiang family. Jiang Xueying had already told her family that she could still get the site without you."
"Considering we're brothers, and you did put in a lot of effort, I didn't hold it against you and still gave you your commission. And you still think I did you a favor? I'm telling the truth!"
Lü Zhendong and Cheng Zhiyuan turned their attention to Cao Jinpeng.
Li Xiaofeng took a deep breath and continued, "The reason I went shopping with Jiang Xueying was because I was going to give her a commission, but she said she didn't need the money and refused to accept it, and wanted me to go shopping with her instead."
She doesn't want so much money, she just wants me to go shopping with her, and she basically pays for everything herself. Do you think I can refuse her request?
Also, let's just get to the bottom of this. The day I was shopping with Jiang Xueying, we ran into Boss Cao with Xia Anna shopping!
After arguing with me, he left with Xia Anna, probably in a hurry to get a hotel room. He didn't seem to care much about Jiang Xueying at all!
Later, I took Jiang Xueying back to school, and on the way we happened to run into you arguing with someone. You're a grown man, so you can beat them up if you want, but shouldn't I prioritize the safety of that girl?
"Brother Cao, are you saying I didn't have enough fun last night and want me to give Jiang Xueying to Brother Long and his gang?"
"It was all a misunderstanding. Now that we've talked things out, the matter is over. We're all brothers, so don't let this little thing hurt our brotherhood!" Cheng Zhiyuan stepped in to smooth things over.
Li Xiaofeng snorted coldly: "Boss Cao, my contact with Jiang Xueying was all for making money, but what about the time you seduced my girlfriend in front of me? How do you explain that?"
Lu Zhendong said with a disdainful look, "Third brother, didn't I already say that the eldest brother was just joking with you!"
"He was just joking to tell the truth. He's a flirtatious guy, and he's got those kinds of thoughts. Second brother, don't just stand there and talk like you don't know what's going on!"
In the end, the group parted on bad terms, each lost in their own thoughts, remaining silent.
