Chapter 1190: Fighting for Love, Water and Fire Cannot Compromise
Kou Quan pulled Seventeen aside and said, "Stay here and don't move, okay?"
"Brother!" Seventeen shook his head.
"Don't worry about me." Kou Quan pushed Seventeen towards their car.
Lu Jiang's solution is to have a good fight. If you don't join him, he won't have a good life in the days to come.
Kou Quan took off his coat, threw it on the ground, and flexed his wrists while whispering to Lu Jiang, "Don't you care if they see us fighting to the death?"
"It seems that you are more worried about them." Lu Jiang sneered, unbuttoned his clothes and threw his coat on the ground.
Humanity has evolved over thousands of years to reach today's civilization, yet even today, we still resolve conflicts this way. From small personal conflicts to large international disputes, brawls, and even wars, even the most rational people sometimes find that reason and generosity are not enough.
"Lu Jiang, even if we decide the winner, we can't ignore Lan'er's wishes. No one can force her to be with whomever she wants."
Lu Jiang sneered, "Why, is this your warm-up opening statement, or is it an explanation for your impending loss to me?"
Kou Quan was helpless. "After so many years, you are still stubborn and refuse to change your ways. You can force her to do something for a while, but can you force her to do something for the rest of her life?"
"How do you know that after I marry her, she won't fall in love with me over time and truly love me? Stop talking nonsense, come on, let them see who is the stronger one." Lu Jiang said loudly.
Seventeen was so anxious that he shouted, "Brother, where are your manners? Where is your education? Why are you solving problems like gangsters? Why can't you sit down and talk it out?"
"Qiqi, stop being childish..."
"You're the ones being childish! What's the point of a fight? What kind of conflict can it resolve? What Sister Lan'er thinks? Even if you get your heads broken and bloodied, you can't change her mind..."
Seventeen was still shouting loudly when the two men rushed up and started fighting each other. For the two men who had admired the use of force since childhood, neither of them gained any advantage from the other. You take my punch, I give you a kick, and the two men fought in the middle of the field.
Seventeen circled around the two of them, rushed forward but was thrown away, and then was pushed away before he could touch them.
"Brother, brothers, stop fighting. I'm calling the police. Stop fighting!" Seventeen shouted loudly.
The fight lasted for nearly half an hour. Both of them were bleeding from their heads, and even Seventeen fell several times.
Both women cried and felt heartbroken. Seventeen was pushed down again and sat on the ground crying.
Zhou Haoyu's car arrived immediately, no doubt having come this way after receiving his sister's message. He braked not far away, got out, and rushed over with a sullen face.
At this time, Lu Jiang and Kou Quan were already exhausted from fighting. Seventeen crawled to his two brothers, hugged Kou Quan's head and cried inconsolably.
Zhou Haoyu walked over, looked up at his sister who was leaning against the car body, and immediately pulled Seventeen up.
"Why are you getting involved when they're causing trouble?"
Zhou Haoyu spoke in a bad tone. It was fine for two grown men to fight, but why was she getting involved?
Seeing his wife covered in dust and scrapes, he felt angry and furious. She was not a three-year-old child anymore, yet she didn't know how to protect herself. He wanted to scold her harshly, but seeing Seventeen crying at the top of her lungs, he could only suppress his anger deep in his heart.
"They are my brothers. How can I just pretend nothing happened?" Seventeen choked.
Zhou Haoyu looked at Seventeen, then raised his eyes and shouted at his sister, "Why don't you come over here?"
Zhou Lan'er wiped her tears, pushed away the people around her, and walked towards her brother weakly. Lu Jiang and Kou Quan on the ground had already sat up, and Seventeen hurried over to help Kou Quan stand up.
Lu Jiang raised his eyes and saw Zhou Lan'er and Shiqi surrounding Kou Quan on the left and right. Lu Jiang sat for a while, pressing his big palm on his forehead.
Zhou Haoyu looked back helplessly, and stepped forward to pull Lu Jiang.
"Are you okay?" Zhou Haoyu asked in a low voice.
"He won't die." Lu Jiang's eyes fell on Kou Quan, then looked at Zhou Lan'er.
Zhou Haoyu whispered to explain for his sister, "Lan'er has been spoiled by her family. Her bad temper has caused you trouble, please don't mind it."
Lu Jiang reluctantly responded and asked Lan'er, "Do you want to get married with me?"
Zhou Lan'er turned around, eyes filled with rage and hatred as she stared at Lu Jiang, "I wish I could cut you into pieces!"
"Lan'er!" Zhou Haoyu shouted angrily.
Zhou Lan'er looked at her brother. "You're my biological brother, but you start scolding me right away. Have you ever asked what wrongs your sister has suffered? Have you ever cared if your sister has been hurt by this scoundrel? Brother, besides the company and your sister-in-law, can you see anyone else?"
"You blame others for your mistakes. When have you ever admitted your mistakes since you were a child? It's either Lu Jiang who supports you and takes the blame for you, or it's me. No matter how big a mess you get into, who in your family has ever said a word to you? Your parents spoil you too much, so you think too highly of yourself and think everything is your due. Lan'er, what is your due? I'm your brother, not your man! The person who should be doing the most for you is this loser you chose!"
Zhou Haoyu pointed to the sky angrily, not even bothering to look at Kou Quan.
"Can your parents take care of you forever? Can your brother take care of you forever? The only person you can rely on for the rest of your life is your future husband. Now you are willful and insist on going with this loser. What can they do even if their family disagrees? You don't understand why the Zhuang family didn't want to marry your sister-in-law to your brother. Now I tell you, the attitude of your sister-in-law's family back then is the attitude of our family now! I can at least make sure your sister-in-law has enough food, clothing and other necessities, and she can spend money however she wants. But can this loser you chose do that?"
"Don't your family members all hope that you can live happily after you get married, just like you do at home? But you always act like your parents and brother are pushing you into the fire pit. How come, in your eyes, this loser is really more important than your family? Lan'er, think about your attitude carefully and wake up!" Zhou Haoyu yelled, purely to tear his face off and scold.
Not only did he scold his sister, but he also vented all the disdain he had for Kou Quan that he had kept hidden for so many years.
One reason was for his sister, as he was angry at his brother-in-law for not fighting for his job. The other was to tell Lu Jiang that he was extremely dissatisfied with his current brother-in-law. Not only him, but the whole family did not approve of him.
Kou Quan's face turned pale. Zhou Haoyu was right. He wanted everything.
All he had was a background lent to him by the Zhuang family; it didn't belong to him. Whether he was the Zhuang family's biological son or their adopted son, he could only be a mediocre doctor in his lifetime; that was the truth.
Love is a matter between two people, but marriage is a matter between two families. He cannot balance the Zhou family's opinions of him, and this is a failure.
