Chapter 1026: You Tell Me This Is a Misunderstanding

Xu Shaochen took Huo Xiao and her classmate to the Hospital for some brief swelling treatment.

Then he took them to the Mall to buy some new Clothes to change.

Finally, he took Huo Xiao home.

On the way home, Huo Xiao, usually lively and cheerful, didn’t say a word.

“Do you know who hit you?”

Xu Shaochen asked, holding Huo Xiao’s smooth little Hand, looking at the bruise on her lip, a cold chill in his heart.

Huo Xiao shook her head, saying aggrievedly “I don’t know her, she’s Li Yan’s girlfriend. Li Yan confessed to me, I didn’t accept, and she insisted I seduced him.”

“Who is Li Yan?” Xu Shaochen’s eyebrows rose, daring to hit on my daughter, tired of living, huh?

“He’s a third-year senior, also in the music department.”

Huo Xiao, like a child complaining to her parent, made Xu Shaochen feel both heartache and amusement.

“Long Yi, spread the word. Tomorrow when I wake up, I want to see the one who hit her kneeling before me.”

Xu Shaochen said coldly.

“Yes, Owner.”

Long Yi responded.

Huo Xiao looked at Xu Shaochen’s stern profile, feeling much more at ease and leaned against his arm.

Xu Shaochen simply wrapped his arm around her.

Luckily, Huo Ying didn’t see this, otherwise, she’d pick up a Knife and fight Xu Shaochen.

Half an hour later, they arrived home.

“Go take a nap, I’ll call you when the food is ready.”

Xu Shaochen told Huo Xiao.

Huo Xiao had protected her head, so besides a bruise on her lip, her face had no other marks. Her delicate face was unharmed.

Otherwise, Xu Shaochen would’ve killed.

“Little Dad, you won’t take advantage of me while I’m sleeping, will you?”

Huo Xiao’s personality was carefree and bold. In a blink, her earlier gloom vanished. She started teasing Xu Shaochen again.

“Then remember to leave the Door open for me, or I couldn’t even take advantage of you if I wanted to.”

Xu Shaochen smiled mischievously, eyeing her with ill intent.

“Sure thing, Little Dad. My mom even told you to take care of me. I see you’re going to betray that trust.”

“I’ll leave the Door open. As long as you aren’t afraid of my mom chopping you up, come on in. I can’t really fight you off.”

Huo Xiao said, laughing as she ran back to her room, indeed leaving a crack in the Door for Xu Shaochen.

Her cheerful, bold nature had made her quickly become familiar with Xu Shaochen. Though she called him Little Dad, she actually treated him like a friend.

Looking through the Door crack, he saw Huo Xiao sprawled ungracefully on the bed playing with her Phone. Xu Shaochen couldn’t help but laugh.

“Owner, the one who hit was Deng Xue. Her brother, Deng Wu, is a small-time developer with a criminal record involving gangs. If we want to get him, it would be easy to collect evidence and send him in.”

Long Yi came in, reporting to Xu Shaochen what he had found out, also suggesting a course of action.

“Ding ding ding…”

Just as he finished, Xu Shaochen’s Phone rang.

It was Ye Pengfei calling.

“Hello, Pengfei, what’s up.”

Xu Shaochen answered, speaking gently.

“Young Master Xu, a friend surnamed Deng told me his sister might have had a misunderstanding with you and would like to meet through me.”

Xu Shaochen didn’t expect Deng Wu to contact Ye Pengfei so quickly. Seems he has some skills.

“Alright, you tell me where.”

Xu Shaochen replied warmly, but his eyes remained cold.

A misunderstanding? So easy to say.

Since you’ve come to me, save me the trouble of finding you.

“Young Master Xu, how about I treat you to a hot spring to warm up?”

Ye Pengfei tentatively suggested.

“Sure, I’ll be right there.”

Xu Shaochen said, hanging up, his face visibly darkening.

“Xiaoxiao, I’m heading out, won’t cook for now. I’ll take you out to eat after I finish up.”

Xu Shaochen called to Huo Xiao’s room.

“Oh,”

Huo Xiao replied.

Xu Shaochen gave Long Yi a look, and the two left.

……………

About twenty minutes later.

The Car stopped outside a hot spring Hotel in the east of the city.

Xu Shaochen entered the Hotel with eight Bodyguards.

“Mr. Xu, Young Master Ye is waiting inside for you, this way please.”

The Hotel Owner had been waiting at the Door and hurried to greet Xu Shaochen, speaking with slight nervousness.

Xu Shaochen nodded in acknowledgment.

Under the Owner’s lead, they arrived at the steamy hot spring.

Ye Pengfei, laying enjoyably in the hot spring, opened his eyes upon hearing footsteps.

“Young Master Xu, you’re here. Come on down, it’s wonderful inside.”

Ye Pengfei quickly invited Xu Shaochen in.

Xu Shaochen changed Clothes and entered the hot spring, asking “Where is he?”

Long Yi, Long Er, and the other Bodyguards automatically formed a circle around the hot spring.

“He’s on his way, brought you a Gift to apologize.”

Ye Pengfei said with a smile, showing he had a good relationship with Deng Wu.

Xu Shaochen nodded, saying no more.

About five minutes later, footsteps approached again.

A pair of young people carrying a box entered, Deng Wu and Deng Xue, the siblings.

“Here they are.”

Ye Pengfei beckoned to Deng Wu.

“Young Master Ye, Mr. Xu, I’m really sorry, my sister and I are late.”

As Deng Wu spoke, his gaze focused on Xu Shaochen.

Xu Shaochen closed his eyes, seemingly indifferent, as if he hadn’t heard.

Deng Wu felt awkward, looking at Ye Pengfei.

“Young Master Xu, it’s just a little misunderstanding. Surely you won’t hold a grudge against Deng Wu.”

Ye Pengfei’s role today was to mediate, smiling as he spoke to Xu Shaochen.

“Misunderstanding?”

Xu Shaochen opened his eyes, staring at Deng Wu with a grin, “Your sister hired thugs to beat my goddaughter at the School gate, and you tell me that’s a misunderstanding?”

He then turned to Ye Pengfei, “Pengfei, do you think this is a misunderstanding?”

Ye Pengfei’s demeanor changed drastically, looking coldly at Deng Wu, “You’re playing me?”

Deng Wu hadn’t explained it to him this way, otherwise, he wouldn’t have acted as the middleman.

“Young Master Ye, let me explain…” Deng Wu began, knowing if he didn’t deceive Ye Pengfei, he wouldn’t get to meet Xu Shaochen.

Ye Pengfei coldly interrupted, “No need to explain to me. Explain it to Young Master Xu. I’m out of this.”

Deng Wu froze, awkwardly nudging Deng Xue, “What are you standing there for? Quickly, go give Mr. Xu a massage.”

Deng Xue bit her lip, shedding her dress and High Heels, preparing to enter the hot spring to serve Xu Shaochen.

The so-called massage, everyone knew what it implied.

“I feel sick.”

Xu Shaochen coldly said, looking at Deng Xue.

Deng Xue wavered, stopping in place. Her lips pressed together, face pale, on the verge of tears.
