Chapter Index

    “My woman is pregnant with my child. Your rude actions scared them. What if it affects the baby? That’s dangerous.”

    Xu Shaochen spoke earnestly to Wu Qing.

    “Yes, yes, Mr. Xu… Mr. Xu, your advice is right. I’ve learned my lesson. I… I won’t dare again.”

    Wu Qing lay on the ground like a dying dog, biting back the pain from his right hand and continually nodding. Tears covered his cheeks.

    “Really learned your lesson?”

    Xu Shaochen tilted his head and asked.

    Wu Qing nodded like a pecking chicken: “Yes, truly learned.”

    Xu Shaochen nodded and rubbed his face with both hands, then exhaled: “Good, as long as you have. People aren’t afraid to make mistakes, but they’re afraid of not learning from them and repeating them.”

    After speaking, he waved his hand.

    Two bodyguards stepped forward and dragged Wu Qing out.

    “Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, I’ve learned my lesson. I know my mistake. What are you doing? Mr. Xu, spare me…”

    Wu Qing was scared out of his wits, struggling and crying out as he looked at Xu Shaochen.

    “I’m afraid this lesson won’t leave a deep mark. For your own good, to stop you from making mistakes again, I’m reinforcing it.”

    Xu Shaochen spoke leisurely as if he truly had Wu Qing’s best interests in mind.

    Hearing this, Wu Qing’s face turned as white as paper as he cried out: “Let me go, Mr. Xu, I plead with you, let me go. I won’t dare again. Second Uncle, save me, Uncle…”

    Listening to these desperate cries, Wu Changyun finally couldn’t bear it. He knelt with a thud: “Mr. Xu, please give Wu Qing another chance. If you don’t agree, I won’t get up.”

    “Ha!” Xu Shaochen snorted, his voice cold: “Since you like kneeling so much, keep at it.”

    Wu Changyun’s expression froze, not expecting such a response from Xu Shaochen: “Mr. Xu, please, spare Wu Qing. Besides, the lady and the baby are fine, aren’t they?”

    “Bang!”

    As soon as he finished, Xu Shaochen kicked out suddenly.

    “Ah! Pfft—”

    Wu Changyun screamed. He spat blood, rolling several times on the ground.

    “You’re right. You’re lucky she’s fine with the baby. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so simple.”

    Xu Shaochen said coldly, looking at Wu Changyun.

    Meanwhile, Wu Qing was also dragged out of the hotel.

    Moments later, a heart-rending scream echoed in everyone’s ears, sending shivers down their spines.

    “Let’s go upstairs.”

    Xu Shaochen didn’t glance at Wu Changyun and entered the elevator with four women.

    “Huff—huff—”

    Wu Qing’s lackeys thought they’d escaped danger, sitting down and gasping in relief, savoring their survival.

    “Tap tap tap…”

    Suddenly, a rush of firm footsteps sounded. Long Yi and Long Er stormed in with bodyguards, launching a brutal assault on the men.

    Every punch landed solidly on the scum.

    “Ah! Stop hitting! Stop hitting…”

    “Ah! Pfft—”

    “Spare me, I’m begging you, spare me…”

    After about ten minutes, the hall was in chaos, the screams subsiding, leaving only occasional moans and over a dozen bloodied men on the floor…

    Upstairs room.

    “You two go rest early.”

    Xu Shaochen dismissed Yuxiu and Ye Ling.

    “Hey, wait.”

    As they were about to leave, Liu Ruxu stopped them, stroking her swollen belly and looking at Xu Shaochen: “What, are you planning to keep the two of us here while they stay?”

    Yuxiu and Ye Ling shot grateful looks at Liu Ruxu.

    “Fine, what’s going on tonight?”

    Xu Shaochen finally had time to ask what had happened that night.

    “Tonight…”

    Liu Ruxue recounted the events.

    Xu Shaochen listened, contemplating: “We’ll gift Auntie Wang a barbecue shop before we leave.”

    It’s more thoughtful than giving money.

    “Come with us to our hometown tomorrow.”

    Liu Ruxu said.

    Xu Shaochen slightly frowned: “The day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I’ll check on the Lotus Charity’s team and their projects here.”

    He disliked grand shows, so he preferred unannounced visits to see the true picture.

    “Alright, tomorrow or the day after, it doesn’t matter. We’re leaving. Get some rest.”

    Liu Ruxu nodded and left the room with Liu Ruxue.

    “Run the bath, I want to take a bath.”

    Xu Shaochen told Yuxiu.

    Yuxiu and Ye Ling hurried to the bathroom.

    What’s there to do after a bath?

    Do you even have to ask?

    The long night leaves no room for sleep.

    Of course, we’ll respond to the state’s two-child policy to contribute to the nation.

    ………………….

    The next morning.

    “What are you doing here?”

    Xu Shaochen opened the door to see Wu Changyun standing outside. He paused in surprise.

    “Mr. Xu, did you sleep well last night? I brought you breakfast. I didn’t dare knock, fearing to disturb your rest, so I’ve been waiting here. It’s still hot.”

    Wu Changyun pointed to the food cart, looking at Xu Shaochen with an ingratiating smile.

    Yesterday he was kicked by Xu Shaochen, but this morning he appeared unphased to curry favor.

    Too amusing.

    “Does delivering breakfast to a guest need someone like you, the boss, to do it personally?”

    Xu Shaochen lifted the cart’s lid, seeing delicately made pastries.

    Wu Changyun chuckled: “Of course not. Mr. Xu differs from other guests, can’t be treated equally.”

    Wu Qing wasn’t in mortal danger, only losing an arm and a leg, but his life was spared. Wu Changyun was satisfied.

    After all, when Wu Qing was dragged away last night, he thought Wu Qing was a goner.

    “I appreciate your gesture. Don’t bother next time. Just have the waiter deliver it to my door.”

    Xu Shaochen said casually, finding Wu Qing’s subservience awkward.

    “Yes, Mr. Xu, I’ll remember. Enjoy your breakfast. I won’t disturb you.”

    Of course Wu Changyun wouldn’t oppose Xu Shaochen. He stepped back a few paces, then turned and left.

    The scene reminded Xu Shaochen of eunuchs in TV dramas.

    Xu Shaochen shook his head, pushed the cart inside, and called the women for breakfast.

    Then he changed into casual clothes and left the hotel low-key with Long Yi and Long Er, also casually dressed.

    Xu Shaochen was about to start a discreet inspection.
