Chapter 102: Weren’t You Squeezing Me Too?

The Li Family won’t have a peaceful night.

The Jiang Family is equally sleepless tonight. Jiang Siyu didn’t return to the new home where she was to live with Li Yang after marriage. Instead, she returned to the Jiang Family.

She then informed her parents about Xu Shaochen.

“Are you saying… that poor boy we took advantage of has some serious backing, even enough to make the Sun Family respect him? Siyu, are you out of your mind? How can this be? How could that poor boy have such a background? He couldn’t even afford his mother’s surgery!”

After hearing this, Jiang Cheng and Guo Xue both wondered if Jiang Siyu had lost her mind due to a fever and was just talking nonsense.

How could they not know Xu Shaochen? Isn’t he just a poor student who couldn’t even scrape together enough money for his mother’s treatment? They played him in the palm of their hands without him being able to do anything about it.

How could he suddenly have turned the tables? They thought it must be a joke.

“Dad, Mom, do you think I’m joking with you at a time like this?”

Seeing that Jiang Cheng and Guo Xue were not taking her seriously, Jiang Siyu grew anxious and yelled out loud.

Noticing that Jiang Siyu wasn’t joking, Jiang Cheng and Guo Xue stopped mocking Xu Shaochen and their expressions grew serious.

“Are you telling the truth?” Jiang Cheng asked Jiang Siyu in a deep voice.

Jiang Siyu nodded: “Dad, I saw it with my own eyes. How could it be fake? Sun Hai kicked both me and Li Yang out just because Xu Shaochen said so.”

“This… How is this possible?!”

Jiang Cheng and Guo Xue were both incredulous, but what they felt more was fear and panic.

Back then, they ruthlessly played with Xu Shaochen so easily because he was just a poor boy who posed no threat to them.

But now, Xu Shaochen actually has such a strong background that even the Sun Family has to bow to him.

When they thought about how they had humiliated Xu Shaochen, it was simply courting death.

If Xu Shaochen wanted to take revenge on them, the Jiang Family wouldn’t even have the right to resist.

At the thought of this outcome, both of them turned pale with terror, and their bodies began trembling uncontrollably.

“Oh, if only we’d made the mistake of letting him and Siyu marry back then!”

Guo Xue said with deep regret. Jiang Cheng felt the same way. The Jiang Family had essentially tossed away a golden opportunity and picked up a useless pebble instead. They had lost so much! Not only did they waste an easily attainable rich son-in-law, but now they also gained a terrifying enemy. How could they not feel regret?

For a moment, the three people in the living room were all filled with sorrow, their minds consumed by fear.

Tonight, not only will Xu Shaochen be sleepless, but the Li and Jiang Families are also destined to be without sleep.

……………

Early Morning.

Xu Shaochen opened his eyes and found Linda already awake, staring right at his face.

“Smack!”

Xu Shaochen raised his hand and smacked her thigh: “What are you staring at?”

“Humph～ so annoying.”

Linda pouted, rolling her eyes in feigned annoyance. After last night, there was already a hint of mature womanly charm reflected in her expressions.

“Not going to work today?”

Xu Shaochen pinched her smooth chin and smirked. He had to admit that being with a mixed-race girl really had its own unique pleasures.

“Boss, you’re so bad. You just finished with me last night, and now you want me to go to work today? You’re squeezing me dry.” Linda responded with a pout, full of reluctance.

Xu Shaochen chuckled mischievously, leaning into her ear and whispered softly, “Didn’t you squeeze me dry last night too? Almost completely, that is. My little juicer.”

Linda’s face instantly turned beet red, and she glared at Xu Shaochen before burying her face under the covers.

“Hahaha…”

Watching Linda behave like an ostrich, Xu Shaochen laughed out loud in good spirits.

He had discovered last night that even though Linda was usually bold and daring, she turned utterly shy in bed, barely daring to make a sound.

“Take a good rest; I’m giving you the day off today.”

After getting dressed, Xu Shaochen spoke to Linda, who was still hiding under the covers, before leaving the room.

“Humph! You’re such a jerk, but at least you have a heart.”

After hearing the door close, Linda cautiously poked her head out of the covers, muttering softly with a flushed face.

But then she seemed to realize something was off. Today is Sunday, so she doesn’t have to work anyway. What day off is he giving her?

“You bastard! Liar!”

Realizing this, Linda ground her teeth in frustration. She felt like she had been bitten by a dog last night.

After going downstairs, Xu Shaochen went out for breakfast.

He then visited his mom in the hospital and chatted with Dean Fu for a bit.

It was already 9:30 a.m. when he stepped out of the hospital.

“Boss, where are we headed?”

In the car, Long San asked Xu Shaochen, who was seated in the back.

“To Daqing Demolition Company,” Xu Shaochen said after thinking for a moment.

It was still morning, so he decided to call on Mei Liangxin, Zhao Qing, and Zhang Wei to finalize the land acquisition in the Old City.

“Ring, ring, ring…”

Suddenly, his Phone rang. It was the business department manager from Chen Yu Company.

The company was set to open soon, so all employees were working overtime on weekends.

“Speak,” Xu Shaochen answered the call.

“Chairman Xu, you asked me to acquire a five-star hotel. I’ve already signed the purchase contract with Shanshui Grand Hotel.”

Xu Shaochen responded, “Pause the hotel operations for interior renovation. You’ll manage the details. Also, rename it to Chen Yu Grand Hotel. Reopen it after the renovations are complete.”

“Yes, Chairman Xu. Do you have any other instructions?”

“Right, hire a somewhat famous singer to perform at the hotel’s opening. Just do that. Call me if anything unexpected happens.”

After saying that, Xu Shaochen hung up. He didn’t ask about the details of the acquisition or the hotel renovations.

After all, as the big boss, if he had to be involved in everything, what use would there be in hiring top-level management for a high salary? Are they just here to eat and do nothing?

By the time he arrived at Daqing Demolition Company, Zhao Qing, Zhang Wei, and Mei Liangxin were already waiting at the entrance.

“Get in the car.”

Xu Shaochen rolled down the window and gestured to the three to get in.

After the three boarded the car, they headed toward the Old City.

“Shaochen, something seems different about you today!”

After getting in, Mei Liangxin stared at Xu Shaochen, frowning.

Hearing this, not only Xu Shaochen but also Zhang Wei and Zhao Qing turned their eyes to Mei Liangxin.

“What’s different?” Xu Shaochen asked curiously.

Mei Liangxin stroked his chin and said seriously, “You’ve become even more handsome.”

Zhang Wei: “………”

Zhao Qing: “………”

Both of them mentally cringed, feeling like a herd of wild horses trampled their innocent little hearts.

They were too naive. They didn’t expect Mei Liangxin to have reached such a shameless level, mastering the art of flattery to an extreme degree.

“Don’t say stuff like that again.” Xu Shaochen frowned, looking displeased.

Zhao Qing and Zhang Wei’s eyes lit up as they shot a schadenfreude-filled glance at Mei Liangxin. Sucking up backfired, huh? Mr. Xu is wise and powerful, not the kind of person who likes to be flattered.

Mei Liangxin was also taken aback for a moment. Did he misjudge the situation?

Next, the others heard Xu Shaochen say casually, “It’s common knowledge that I’m handsome, so there’s no need to keep mentioning it.”

The three of them: “……………”
