Chapter 210: Never Settle for the Status Quo

“Alright, they won’t bother you again.”

Xu Shaochen said to Liu Rushuang while looking at her.

If it hadn’t been for him, with Liu Rushuang’s timid nature, her uncle’s family would have sooner or later used her as a mere tool to make money.

More importantly, it was Liu Rulong. Xu Shaochen could tell at a glance that Liu Rulong’s intentions toward Liu Rushuang were impure. Who knows what disgusting things he’d attempt next time.

So he had to resolve this issue once and for all. After the first time, Liu Rulong would never dare to try again.

That severe beating would probably land Liu Rulong in the hospital for six months to a year before he fully recovers. After all, a lot of bones were broken.

“Thank you for your help.” Liu Rushuang said gratefully.

Xu Shaochen smiled calmly and whispered in her ear, “If you really want to thank me, then why don’t we finish what we started earlier?”

“No!” Liu Rushuang firmly refused.

Xu Shaochen sighed in disappointment.

Liu Rushuang, blushing, whispered, “Not in the office. Let’s go to my place.”

What if we get interrupted again like just now?

“Let’s go.” Xu Shaochen instantly regained his energy, feeling reinvigorated.

Seeing Xu Shaochen’s eagerness, Liu Rushuang felt nervous, and her tightly clenched hands started to sweat.

Before long, they arrived at Liu Rushuang’s home.

As soon as they entered the bedroom, Xu Shaochen picked her up and placed her on the bed without saying a word. Then…

“Wait! You didn’t use protection.”

“It’s fine. If you get pregnant, I’ll take care of the child.”

“You scoundrel…”

As the rapid and intense rhythm began, the sound of ‘raindrops on a banana leaf’ filled the air. The rest of the scene is omitted for ten thousand words, leaving it to your imagination.

“You little rascal, satisfied now? You’ve had both me and my sister.” Liu Rushuang, her face still carrying the afterglow of battle, weakly spoke while lying in Xu Shaochen’s arms.

Xu Shaochen smiled, “One should never be satisfied with the status quo. Once you’re content, you’ll lose your motivation to move forward… Ah! It hurts! Let go, let go!”

“How dare you!” Liu Rushuang said as she pinched Xu Shaochen’s arm, her face red with frustration.

Xu Shaochen felt wronged, “Can’t I even think about it?”

“You’re not even allowed to think about it! It’s impossible!” Liu Rushuang responded firmly. How could she not know what was going through his mind?

After having her sister, now he wasn’t satisfied and was already imagining all sorts of things. He could just go die.

Liu Rushuang’s bedroom had a bathroom, and after a playful fight inside, they finally got dressed and left the room.

“Sis… When did you come back?”

As they stepped out, they realized Liu Ruxu had come back at some point. She was sitting on the sofa, legs crossed, watching them with a teasing look.

“Did you enjoy yourself?”

Liu Ruxu blinked and asked, though she couldn’t help but admire Xu Shaochen for his ability. Her once stubborn sister had been completely won over.

Liu Rushuang blushed and retorted, “Weren’t you with him before? You should know how it feels!”

“Cough, cough, cough…” Liu Ruxu choked on her words, unable to respond. There was nothing she could say to that!

Xu Shaochen quickly tried to slip away, “Uh… You two have a nice chat. I’ve got something to take care of.”

If he didn’t leave, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to handle what was coming next. After all, women might seem delicate but can be quite daunting.

“Hmph! Scoundrel.”

Watching Xu Shaochen hurriedly leave, Liu Rushuang could tell he wasn’t quite innocent. Why else would he run off so guiltily?

…

After leaving the Liu sisters’ complex, Xu Shaochen straightened up, regaining his confident demeanor. He felt refreshed.

“Less than an hour. Pay up.”

Seeing Xu Shaochen come out, Long Er extended his hand toward Long Yi.

“Damn, can’t the boss last a bit longer? I overestimated his endurance.” Long Yi grumbled as he handed over 200 yuan to Long Er.

Curious, Xu Shaochen asked, “What are you guys up to?”

“Nothing, he owed me 200 yuan from last time and just paid it back.” Long Er replied with a cheerful grin. No way was he going to admit they were betting on how quickly Xu Shaochen would come out.

Xu Shaochen noticed their somewhat sly smiles but didn’t give it much thought. He just got into the car.

“Ding, ding, ding…”

Just as he closed the car door, his phone rang. He saw it was a call from Mei Liangxin.

That guy hadn’t contacted him in a couple of days. Who knew how he was managing his job as the finance manager at Dafeng Factory?

“What’s up? Reporting on your work?” Xu Shaochen answered the call.

“We’re playing mahjong, but we’re short one person. Want to join? We’re at Zhang Wei’s place. Zhao Qing is here too.”

Xu Shaochen’s lips twitched, “You, a finance manager, and you, a legal affairs director, are skipping work during office hours. And on top of that, you dare call your boss to play mahjong? Don’t you think that’s a bit too bold?”

“Boss, don’t worry, work’s all handled. You can trust me…”

“Get lost. It’s exactly because you say that I don’t trust you. Give me the address. I’ll come over right now and check on your work.” Xu Shaochen replied bluntly.

“Zhang Wei, what’s your address again?… Yeah, yeah… In Jiang Da, Phase 2, Block A, Unit 3, Building 1, 5th floor, apartment 8.”

“Get the mahjong ready. I’ll be there soon to ‘inspect’ your work.”

With that, Xu Shaochen hung up and gave the address to Long Yi who was driving.

In today’s society, there aren’t many people who don’t know how to play mahjong.

After all, you have to play with your elders during New Year, with your clients on business trips, and with your boss at work. It has become a survival skill.

About twenty minutes later, they arrived at their destination.

Xu Shaochen told Long Yi and Long Er to wait outside the complex while he went in alone.

He reached Zhang Wei’s apartment and rang the doorbell.

“Ding dong~ ding dong~”

A moment later, the door opened, and a woman appeared.

Just as Xu Shaochen was about to greet her, the woman merely gave him a cold glance before turning back into the room.

“Was that… your wife? Why does she look upset?”

Xu Shaochen asked Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei waved it off carelessly, “Boss, take a seat. Don’t worry about her. I haven’t hit her in three days, so she’s giving me attitude again.”

“If your hand wasn’t shaking while holding the mahjong tiles, I might actually believe you,” Xu Shaochen remarked, bluntly exposing his bluff. Seeing the smooth washboard nearby made it pretty clear who it was meant for.

“Alright, alright, sit down already. We’ve been waiting for you. Today, I’m going to wipe out all your cash.”

Mei Liangxin said as he pulled Xu Shaochen down onto a chair, full of enthusiasm.
