Chapter 114: His Brain Must Not Work Properly
by xennovel“Just you wait! I will make you wish for death! I’ll ensure there’s no place on this earth where you can find peace!”
Ye Pengfei, staggering, shook off everyone trying to help him and, with bloodshot eyes, stared fiercely at Xu Shaochen, shouting hysterically.
When had he ever been humiliated like this? He always did the beating. He always took other people’s women. He always trampled others beneath his feet without mercy.
But today, the tables had turned. He was the one being trampled on. How could he tolerate this?
Just then, his Phone rang in his pocket.
Ye Pengfei quickly took out his Phone and answered, “Dad, come save me. They’re going to kill me…”
Xu Shaochen: “…”
He didn’t expect that someone this old would still tattle to their parents.
Like a summons? Can’t win, so you call for backup?
“Kid, my dad is bringing people right now. You’re dead meat! I’m telling you, how dare you hit me! You must be tired of living!”
After hanging up, Ye Pengfei burst into wild laughter, glaring at Xu Shaochen with insane hatred in his eyes.
When his dad arrived with backup, that would be the moment for Xu Shaochen to pay the price.
Xu Shaochen’s face darkened, his eyes flickering with a cold murderous intent.
Seeing Xu Shaochen’s change in expression, Ye Pengfei thought he was scared. Arrogantly, he taunted, “Kid, now you know fear? I’m telling you, it’s too late! I’ll make sure you remember the consequences of offending me forever.”
“Sorry, but I really don’t know who your father is. But I bet his brain doesn’t work well either. How else could he have raised such an idiot like you? Or maybe you’re actually the next door neighbor’s son?” Xu Shaochen retorted dismissively, his eyes full of mockery.
“His father is Ye Huaiyuan, the Chairman of Pengfei Group.” Ye Pengfei’s girlfriend whispered to Xu Shaochen while lying in his arms, but it felt more like she was adding fuel to the fire.
The group’s name was even derived from Ye Pengfei’s own name, showing just how spoiled he was by Ye Huaiyuan.
Ye Pengfei’s face turned blue, then white with anger. He had never been so desperate to kill anyone before, but Xu Shaochen’s words pushed him to the edge.
“Hmph, I’d like to see how long you can keep up that arrogance.” In the end, Ye Pengfei could only snort coldly, leaving an empty threat.
The manager and others were watching the scene with malicious glee, waiting for Xu Shaochen to get his comeuppance.
He had not only hit Ye Pengfei but also insulted Ye Huaiyuan. Even if Xu Shaochen didn’t die, he would pay dearly for it.
As time ticked by.
Xu Shaochen lounged lazily on the sofa as if he had no concern in the world.
Meanwhile, Ye Pengfei’s girlfriend diligently tended to Xu Shaochen, feeding him both wine and fruits, her face full of fawning flattery.
Seeing this, Ye Pengfei was so furious he nearly exploded. All this time, he had believed this woman loved him for his looks and talent.
But it turned out he had been deluding himself. She was only after his money.
What’s worse, she no longer even cared about his money and had thrown herself into another man’s arms.
After today, everyone in Jiangzhou’s circle of second-generation rich kids would know that Ye the Great had been publicly cuckolded.
Just thinking about that made Ye Pengfei wish he could flay Xu Shaochen alive.
“Tap, tap, tap…”
A series of heavy, rapid footsteps echoed. A group of men in suits, surrounding a middle-aged man with a stern expression, walked in.
The moment the manager and others saw this middle-aged man, their expressions changed, and they quickly stepped aside in respect.
Because this man was none other than Ye Pengfei’s father, Ye Huaiyuan, Chairman of Pengfei Group.
“Dad, you finally made it! You have to stand up for me. Look at what they’ve done to me! You and Mom have never hit me! This man clearly doesn’t care about the Ye Family at all. If we don’t teach him a lesson, where will our family’s honor be?”
Ye Pengfei immediately put on a pitiful face and walked over to Ye Huaiyuan, making his situation sound as tragic as possible.
“The audacity! To even dare to lay a hand on my son! He must want to die! Who is it? Who did this?”
Ye Huaiyuan’s rage was palpable as he screamed out his fury, eyes red with anger.
“I did it. What are you going to do about it?”
Xu Shaochen nonchalantly replied, looking at Ye Huaiyuan with disdain.
“Good, good, very good. Tell me, kid. How do you want to die?”
Ye Huaiyuan’s repeated use of the word “good” only emphasized his boiling anger. Daring to hit his son was unforgivable.
“What is going on here?!”
Just then, a strong, authoritative voice rang out.
A middle-aged man, dressed in a black Tang suit, walked in with a frown.
“Hello, Boss.”
Everyone at the Imperial Club immediately bowed and greeted the newcomer politely.
“Boss, you arrived just in time. Someone actually dared to cause trouble and assault a client in our club.”
The manager’s eyes lit up when he saw his boss. He immediately stepped forward with a sinister smile and attempted to tattle on Xu Shaochen.
“Wait… Chairman Ye? What are you doing here?”
The Tang-suited man’s face darkened as he was about to explode with anger. However, seeing Ye Huaiyuan standing beside him made him stop in his tracks.
Ye Huaiyuan let out a bitter smile and respectfully said, “Boss Li, to be honest, the one who was beaten is my son.”
Li Ming, the kingpin of Jiangzhou’s entertainment industry, also dabbling in other businesses. Who’d dare not give him face?
More importantly, they had business dealings with each other.
“Oh? Interesting. Someone actually dared to beat the eldest young master of the Ye family? I want to see who has such guts!”
With a curious smile, Li Ming scanned the room until his eyes fell on Xu Shaochen, and his expression drastically changed: “Mr. Xu?”
Everyone was stunned. Mr. Xu? Who was this Mr. Xu?
Who could this Xu be to make Li Ming lose his composure?
But Li Ming didn’t care about anyone else. He hurried over to Xu Shaochen and respectfully said, “Mr. Xu, my apologies for not greeting you properly. Please forgive my oversight.”
He had met Xu Shaochen during the Sun family’s birthday banquet and had learned a lot about him. Although he vaguely knew Xu Shaochen was connected to Xu Corporation, he didn’t dare investigate further.
Whoa!
Everyone was in an uproar at this sight, their jaws nearly hitting the floor.
Li Ming, bowing and scraping before some young punk?
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed it.
The manager was already trembling in his boots, terrified and filled with regret. He never expected his boss to treat Xu Shaochen with such respect.
Recalling how he had dared to behave arrogantly toward Xu Shaochen earlier, the manager’s heart was overwhelmed with fear and remorse.
“Boss Li… what is the meaning of this?” Ye Huaiyuan was also shocked and bewildered, staring at Li Ming in confusion.
Hearing this, Li Ming quickly pointed to Xu Shaochen and said, “Chairman Ye, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Xu Shaochen.”
“What?! He’s that Mr. Xu!”
Ye Huaiyuan was instantly shocked, his face paling with fright. Though he hadn’t attended the Sun family’s banquet, he had heard about Xu Shaochen’s reputation.
Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that this young man, standing before him, was the legendary Mr. Xu.
