Chapter Index

    “Come on, tell me what kind of woman you like?”

    “I’ll find 10 for you. Is that enough? If not, I’ll find 100!”

    “I refuse to believe that without Zhou Xue, you, Zhao Qing, can’t survive in this lifetime!”

    Xu Shaochen said each word coldly, each phrase heavier than the last.

    If Zhao Qing hadn’t been with him from the start, being supported step by step, watching him get by.

    And he did help with a lot of things, accomplishing great feats.

    He wouldn’t bother with this incompetent fool.

    A billionaire deeply in love with a woman not worth it.

    Saying it would make people laugh their heads off.

    “Mr. Xu, it’s different. Between Xiaoxue and me, it’s love, not just a simple relationship. Apart from her, I can’t find that feeling in another woman.”

    Zhao Qing stubbornly wanted to protect his love, insisting on being a devoted simp.

    “You call it love, she treats you as a mark. I tell you, if you’re ever broke or she finds someone richer, she won’t even glance at you.”

    Xu Shaochen pointed at Zhao Qing’s nose, scolding him as if trying to wake him up.

    “No way. Xiaoxue isn’t like that. Even if she spends money lavishly, she just wants a better life, she’d never do such a thing.”

    Zhao Qing said firmly.

    This is a simp’s love, one-sided and delusional.

    “Fine! Get lost! Get far away now!”

    Xu Shaochen couldn’t take it anymore and started chasing him out with curses.

    Although he realized the difficulty of the matter from Mei Liangxin’s description over the phone last night.

    But when Zhao Qing stood in front of him, shouting about love, he finally understood what was disgusting.

    “Mr. Xu, I’m leaving first. One day you’ll understand me.”

    Zhao Qing said, pursing his lips.

    “Get lost! Hurry and return my money!”

    Xu Shaochen cursed angrily. Understand? He’d rather understand a hammer.

    The day he ends up like Zhao Qing, he’d rather have no face to live.

    Zhao Qing left sullenly.

    Xu Shaochen was so angry he almost fumed, angrily sitting on the sofa, unbuttoning his shirt and calling Mei Liangxin and Zhang Wei.

    He arranged to meet them to discuss how to handle this issue.

    Zhao Qing helped him with many shady tasks before. Exposing them would be enough for Zhao Qing to face execution.

    He remained loyal, always handling tasks smoothly without questioning.

    So Xu Shaochen genuinely didn’t want to see Zhao Qing fall for a woman.

    Thirty minutes later.

    The three met at a coffee shop.

    Mei Liangxin dressed casually, unshaven, without any regard for image.

    Zhang Wei was getting fatter after falling in love.

    “So, what should we do? We can’t just sit back. He’ll end up picking trash off the streets.”

    Xu Shaochen broke the silence first regarding Zhao Qing’s matter, having a simple internal meeting.

    “Zhang Wei and I aren’t neglecting him. We were waiting for you to return. We’ve played together too long to abandon him. We just loathe his failure and pity his misfortune.”

    Mei Liangxin spoke, wiping his eyes sleepily, without any regard for his image.

    “I think the problem is simple. Zhou Xue loves spending money and the vanity of luxury, not Zhao Qing himself.”

    “If Zhao Qing goes broke, she’ll leave on her own, and Zhao Qing will see reality.”

    Zhang Wei stirred his coffee, ready to implement the plan when Xu Shaochen returned.

    “That’s tough. If he’s pushed to sell his company, he can still support Zhou Xue’s extravagance for a while.”

    Xu Shaochen sarcastically remarked, seeing Zhao Qing’s obsession possibly leading him to even sell his company.

    “Let’s take a different approach, find someone richer and better looking to seduce Zhou Xue, then Zhao Qing will see his so-called love for the nonsense it is.”

    Zhang Wei seemed prepared, suggesting another plan.

    Then he and Mei Liangxin both looked at Xu Shaochen.

    The meaning was clear.

    “Damn, you two planned this, didn’t you?”

    Xu Shaochen couldn’t help but curse, realizing that the two had agreed.

    “We couldn’t help it. Out of everyone we know, you’re the richest, handsomest, and best at charming girls. You’re guaranteed to succeed.”

    Mei Liangxin shrugged at Xu Shaochen.

    “Though what you say is true, I refuse.” Xu Shaochen resolutely refused. “Seeing that woman makes me want to slap her, let alone seduce her. Besides, doing so puts Zhao Qing in a hard spot.”

    “We’re doing it for his good. He’ll understand. If not, it wouldn’t be worth our effort.”

    Zhang Wei said.

    Xu Shaochen shook his head. “No, it’s not right. Even if he understands, it’ll leave a thorn. Besides, someone richer and more handsome than Zhao Qing should be easy to find in Jiangzhou.”

    There were many things Mei Liangxin and others didn’t know.

    But Xu Shaochen knew well Zhao Qing did many dirty tasks for him. He didn’t want any grudges.

    “Alright, you find this person. Once found, we’ll give him a chance to seduce Zhou Xue, that little woman.”

    Zhang Wei sipped his coffee.

    Mei Liangxin looked at him. “That’s still your sister-in-law. Are you sure it’s okay to say that?”

    “Spit.” Zhang Wei spat. “That woman’s no good. She even tried to seduce me while staying at our house. I told Xiaoyu, and now Xiaoyu dislikes her too.”

    He added, “You two can keep this private. Don’t tell Zhao Qing, or he’ll have ideas.”

    Xu Shaochen and Mei Liangxin exchanged looks, gaining another layer of insight into Zhou Xue.

    Shamelessly intending to charm her brother-in-law.

    After chatting and planning, it was almost noon.

    Bidding farewell to the two, Xu Shaochen drove to the address Huo Ying sent.

    For someone like Huo Ying, mature like a juicy peach, Xu Shaochen couldn’t deny some feelings.

    For men, it’s all about such things, isn’t it?
