Chapter Index

    “Ungrateful wretch! I see you don’t know how to appreciate kindness!”

    Lili glared at Xu Shaochen with venomous eyes, her face alternating between blue and pale, seething with anger.

    She hadn’t expected Xu Shaochen to reject her, even telling her to get lost. How outrageous!

    Choosing him as a scapegoat was his luck. If he didn’t show gratitude, fine, but to refuse her kindness so blatantly?

    She indeed was using Xu Shaochen, as long as she could get rid of Li Shun’s harassment, that was enough for her. What did it matter to her if Xu Shaochen lived or died after that? The other customers in the restaurant were all stunned, staring wide-eyed at Xu Shaochen.

    They hadn’t heard what Lili said to Xu Shaochen, but they clearly saw her take the initiative to hold his arm.

    Yet Xu Shaochen actually told such a beautiful woman to get lost. What a waste! If you don’t want her, give her to us.

    “I’ll say this one last time. Get away from my seat.” Xu Shaochen’s gaze grew increasingly icy, and he seemed ready to act at any moment.

    Lili gritted her teeth and shot him a glare before turning to the young man beside her and saying coldly, “Li Shun, didn’t you say you loved me? Fine, if you really love me, then teach this man a lesson for disrespecting me, and I’ll agree to be your girlfriend.”

    “Alright, Lili, don’t worry. I’ll make sure to teach him a good lesson.” Li Shun was overjoyed and immediately looked down at Xu Shaochen. “Kid, if you know what’s good for you, get on your knees and apologize to Lili right now, or don’t blame me for what happens next.”

    Lili sneered at Xu Shaochen, her eyes full of malice. This is what happens when you don’t know your place.

    “Slap!”

    In the next second, Xu Shaochen raised his hand and slapped Lili across the face. His tone calm, he said, “I always knew you were up to no good, but I didn’t expect you to be this bad. No wonder they say the most poisonous thing is a woman’s heart.”

    Gasp—

    Everyone in the restaurant inhaled sharply. This was brutal, hitting such a beautiful face just like that. He’s ruthless.

    “You…you dare hit me?” Lili looked at Xu Shaochen in disbelief at first, then in a rage, she turned to Li Shun and yelled, “You useless trash, still just standing there? Didn’t you see me getting hit? Hurry up and get revenge for me!”

    “You’ve got a lot of nerve, daring to hit my woman. I think you’re looking to die!” Li Shun glared at Xu Shaochen, his eyes filled with malice as he spoke through gritted teeth.

    Lili covered her face, coldly glaring at Xu Shaochen. Li Shun had learned boxing; she could already imagine Xu Shaochen’s face, swollen and bruised, begging for mercy.

    When that time comes, she’ll make sure Xu Shaochen licks her shoes. How dare he tell her to get lost? She’ll humiliate him by trampling him underfoot.

    Xu Shaochen lifted his head and shot a mocking look at Li Shun. “You don’t seem like someone short on money. Why stoop so low to be a simperer?”

    “Die!” Li Shun roared and threw a straight punch at Xu Shaochen.

    He hated being called a simperer the most. If it wasn’t for true love, who would willingly lower themselves like this? “Bang!”

    Xu Shaochen stood up and raised his leg, kicking Li Shun squarely in the chest.

    “Ah! Pfft—”

    Li Shun let out a scream, flying backward and smashing into a table. He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

    “Ahhhh!”

    The customers in the restaurant were shocked by this turn of events, many women screaming in fear.

    “How…how is this possible!”

    Clutching his chest, Li Shun struggled to steady himself while staring at Xu Shaochen with a face full of shock.

    He had trained in boxing for years, but this was the first time that he had been kicked away before even touching his opponent.

    Lili’s face also betrayed her astonishment. She never expected Li Shun to lose to Xu Shaochen, and so decisively. It was a complete and utter defeat.

    “You learned a couple of flashy moves and dare to show off in front of me? An ant that doesn’t know the immensity of the sky.”

    Xu Shaochen looked at Li Shun with a cold smirk, his voice filled with disdain.

    Li Shun’s face went pale, then red, as he stood there, humiliated by Xu Shaochen’s words, but more than that, he was furious.

    “Slap!”

    Xu Shaochen backhanded Lili across the face again, his tone sharp, “If you want to die, just tell me. I don’t mind sending you off. No need to beat around the bush.”

    Feeling the searing pain on her face, Lili was furious, but this time, she didn’t dare say anything reckless.

    “Stop it! If you’ve got a problem, take it out on me. If you dare lay a hand on Lili again, I’ll kill your entire family!”

    Li Shun roared in anger as he glared at Xu Shaochen, speaking through gritted teeth.

    Xu Shaochen stepped forward and grabbed Li Shun by the neck, lifting him off the ground. His voice was icy, “You’re not the first to threaten to kill my family. Do you know what happened to those before you? The grass on their graves is already three feet high.”

    “What are you trying to do? Let me tell you, my dad is the boss of Imperial Entertainment! If you dare do anything to me, even the King of Heaven won’t be able to save you!”

    Feeling Xu Shaochen’s undisguised killing intent, Li Shun broke into a cold sweat, his voice trembling.

    Whoa! Upon hearing this, the entire restaurant buzzed with chatter.

    “He’s the young master of Imperial Entertainment. This kid’s in big trouble now.”

    “Yeah, Imperial Entertainment is notorious for being aggressive in Jiangzhou…”

    Everyone was chattering because, for them, Imperial Entertainment was not unfamiliar.

    Even if they hadn’t heard of Imperial Entertainment, surely they’ve heard of the renowned Imperial Club?

    “Li Ming’s son?” Xu Shaochen looked at Li Shun, surprised, and asked.

    Li Shun flared up instantly. “How dare you! Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just call my dad’s name?”

    “Thud!”

    As soon as Li Shun finished his words, Xu Shaochen threw him to the ground and looked down at him. “Even your father wouldn’t dare speak to me like this. Call him, tell him to come pick you up.”

    “Hmph, arrogant!”

    Li Shun scoffed, glaring coldly at Xu Shaochen, then pulled out his Phone and dialed his dad.

    “My dad will be here soon, kid. You’re dead.”

    After hanging up, Li Shun looked at Xu Shaochen with venomous eyes, wiped the blood from his mouth, and growled through clenched teeth.

    “If not for your dad’s sake, you’d already be a cripple by now.”

    Xu Shaochen said calmly, sitting back down and continuing his meal.

    Li Shun smirked. You’re afraid of my dad, just admit it. Why bother pretending?

    “Lili, don’t worry. Once my dad gets here, I’ll make sure to avenge you.”

    Li Shun vowed to Lili, his tone resolute, the very picture of a loyal lackey.

    Lili touched the palm marks on her face and gave Xu Shaochen a cold smile.
