Chapter 120: Get Out, All of You!

“Bang!”

Xu Shaochen lifted his foot and kicked Shen Lin to the ground. Looking at Long Yi and Long Er, he said, “Smash the camera and throw this useless man out.”

“Yes, Boss.”

Long Yi and Long Er nodded in response, then coldly stepped toward the two reporters.

“No! Don’t hit me! Take the camera, it’s yours!”

The cameraman trembled with fear, hastily handing over the camera, unable to contain his fear.

“Mr. Xu, please spare me! I have an 80-year-old mother and an 8-year-old son. I can’t lose this job. I really can’t!”

Shen Lin grabbed Xu Shaochen’s leg and wailed, completely devoid of his prior arrogance.

“I’ll give you three seconds to let go. Otherwise, you’ll be thrown out from upstairs instead of here.”

Xu Shaochen looked down at him, his eyes cold as ice.

Shen Lin’s body stiffened under Xu Shaochen’s icy gaze. Cold sweat drenched him as he slowly released his grip on Xu’s leg.

Shen Lin was tossed out like a dead dog.

Xu Ling and the others turned pale when they witnessed this, their hearts filled with fear.

They never imagined that Xu Shaochen had become so formidable, to the point where even the reporters couldn’t handle him, with one even being fired as a result.

“Initially, I didn’t want to bother with you, but some people just have to be annoying. You came to provoke me—what, do you think you’ve lived too long? Do you want me, the junior, to send you off?”

Xu Shaochen cast a cold, indifferent gaze at Xu Ling and the others, treating them as insignificant ants.

Everyone trembled with fear and regret. If they had known, they wouldn’t have come today.

They thought Xu Shaochen was still the easy-to-bully person he used to be. Never did they imagine that the little lamb had turned into a man-eating tiger.

“Shao… Shaochen, don’t be impulsive. Let me explain…” Xu Ling gulped nervously. She had started all of this, so she was the most frightened.

“Slap!”

Before she could finish, Xu Shaochen stepped forward and delivered a fierce slap.

“Ah!”

Xu Ling let out a shriek as five bright red fingerprints instantly appeared on her pale face, with blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

“Did you really think I wouldn’t dare touch you? If it weren’t for my mother’s sake, I would make your life a living hell. Remember, don’t mistake my leniency as a reason to provoke me.”

Xu Shaochen glared at Xu Ling with rage, teeth clenched. He couldn’t understand why his mother had been so kind to such an ungrateful person.

As the saying goes, you can see someone’s face but not their heart.

Xu Ling cradled her face, nodding repeatedly, her back drenched in cold sweat. Her voice trembled as she said, “Y-yes. I know I was wrong. I won’t dare ever again.”

“Now get out. If there’s a next time, you’ll all come in standing and leave lying down!”

Xu Shaochen roared furiously at the group.

Everyone turned pale with fear. Cold sweat dotted their foreheads, and they scrambled out of the office in a panic.

Some were so scared that their legs gave out midway, but they still managed to crawl outside.

After today, no one dared to mess with Xu Shaochen ever again.

This fat piece of meat wasn’t as easy to chew as they thought—it might cost them their teeth.

“Are you okay? Let me give you a massage to help you relax.”

Liu Rushuang walked to Xu Shaochen’s side, her eyes full of concern and worry. She spoke in a soft voice.

“Phew~ I’m fine. It’s just that these people have such shameless behavior—it’s really disgusting how thick-skinned they are.”

Xu Shaochen exhaled deeply. These so-called relatives had less warmth than the neighbors in Xu Family Village and were no different from a bunch of animals.

However, if his mother found out about this, she would probably be heartbroken again.

After all, his parents had always been the kind-hearted type, which was why these relatives had felt so entitled to bully and take advantage of his family.

Shaking his head, Xu Shaochen closed the office door and walked behind his desk to sit down, then closed his eyes.

Liu Rushuang moved behind him and started gently massaging his temples, a technique that helps relax the body.

“The company is scheduled to open the day after tomorrow. What do you think?”

Liu Rushuang asked while massaging Xu Shaochen.

“The day after tomorrow won’t work. Can we move it up a day to tomorrow?”

Xu Shaochen shook his head. His mother was having surgery the day after tomorrow, and he needed to be there with her. He wouldn’t be able to handle it otherwise.

“Then we’ll open tomorrow. Everything is ready anyway.” Liu Rushuang didn’t ask why, smart women don’t pry.

“Alright. Notify the business department to hurry. After the company’s opening, the Chen Yu Grand Hotel should follow suit.” Xu Shaochen nodded, feeling more relaxed as if even his bones had loosened up.

Clearly, Liu Rushuang’s massage technique was quite good.

Suddenly, Xu Shaochen grabbed one of Liu Rushuang’s delicate hands.

“Ah! What are you doing? You scared me! Let go, or do you not want the massage anymore?”

Liu Rushuang was a little distracted, and Xu Shaochen’s sudden move startled her. She glared at him, her face flushed.

“Sister Rushuang, I’m feeling a bit down. How about you give me a hug?”

Xu Shaochen looked at Liu Rushuang with deep affection.

“Hmph, I think you just want to take advantage of me.”

Liu Rushuang teased him. She didn’t believe for a second he was sincere; after all, she had figured out Xu Shaochen’s tricks by now.

“Then let me hug you instead!”

Before Liu Rushuang could respond, Xu Shaochen got up and wrapped her in his arms.

“Ah! What are you doing? Let me go! Let me go!”

Liu Rushuang screamed and instinctively wrapped her arms around Xu Shaochen’s neck, her long legs flailing in the air, her face turning bright red.

Xu Shaochen placed Liu Rushuang on the sofa gently, then whispered, “Sister Rushuang, I love you.”

Liu Rushuang blushed and remained silent, her eyes darting away, unable to meet Xu Shaochen’s gaze.

“Mmm…”

In the next moment, her eyes widened as Xu Shaochen kissed her.

This scoundrel! He’s taking advantage of me again! Ugh, so embarrassing! I hate him!

“That’s enough. Stop it.”

After a while, just as Xu Shaochen was about to go further, Liu Rushuang suddenly mustered the strength to push him away.

“Sister Rushuang, what brand of lipstick are you wearing? It tastes pretty good.”

Xu Shaochen looked at Liu Rushuang with a grin. Though they hadn’t gone all the way, he was sure it wouldn’t be long now.

“Go to hell, you little scoundrel! You just love bullying people.”

Liu Rushuang coyly snapped, her face so red it looked like she could bleed. Her bashful expression was like a beautiful, unassuming landscape painting, making anyone who saw it fall in love.
