Chapter 259: Why Don’t You Listen?

“Is he your student?”

Xu Shaochen pointed at Chen Quan and asked.

“Yes, he is my untalented disciple. Youth inevitably makes him a bit reckless. I hope Mr. Xu won’t laugh at him.”

Teacher Li modestly pointed at Chen Quan as he spoke. He had high hopes for this disciple, but in front of Xu Shaochen, he had no reason to be proud.

Because both now and in the future, this disciple of his would never surpass Xu Shaochen. After all, Xu Shaochen is just too wealthy.

Chen Quan stood silently with his head lowered. Today’s harsh reality had struck him deeply. He was beginning to doubt everything. He was on the verge of shutting down.

“I’ll leave you and your disciple to catch up, then.” Xu Shaochen said as he looked at Teacher Li.

Teacher Li, being a smart man, understood immediately that Xu Shaochen was politely asking them to leave. He quickly said, “In that case, I will take my leave now. I wish Mr. Xu a pleasant time in Yunzhou.”

With those words, Teacher Li led Chen Quan out of the restaurant.

“Master, is the gap between him and me really that big?”

After leaving the restaurant, Chen Quan still seemed lost, unable to recover from the earlier blow.

Teacher Li shook his head, “Not big, just an insurmountable chasm.”

Chen Quan: “…”

It felt like his heart had been stabbed with a dagger.

“Alright, don’t overthink it. You are only confusing yourself. There’s always a gap between people, and besides, he won’t be pursuing the piano path anyway.” Seeing Chen Quan so downcast, Teacher Li offered some comfort.

His disciple had always been too arrogant and complacent. This setback might actually be a good thing.

It would keep him from getting too cocky just because he thought he had talent. There’s always someone better out there. People should not be too arrogant.

Chen Quan’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, “Really?”

Although he couldn’t compare to Xu Shaochen, the thought of Xu Shaochen not becoming a competitor brought him some relief.

“Mm, he’s very rich.” Teacher Li succinctly explained.

Chen Quan: “…”

Why did he feel even more depressed now?

Why did he choose the piano path in the first place? Wasn’t it to become famous? And why become famous? To make money, of course!

He was still working on making money while Shaochen was already at the finish line, sipping coffee and watching him run.

Bitter, small, pitiful, and helpless.

Sigh, why couldn’t he have been born a rich second-generation?

…

Western Restaurant.

“You’re amazing! How come I never knew you could play the piano?” Liu Rushuang looked at Xu Shaochen with a bit of admiration.

Xu Shaochen enjoyed the admiration in her eyes, but he kept a calm expression, “It’s okay. As I said, I’ve only practiced for a little over ten days. Just so-so.”

Everyone else: “…”

This guy… I’ll give him a full score.

“Show-off.” Liu Rushuang flirtatiously rolled her eyes.

“Oh wow who do I see here? Turns out it’s our Young Master Xu. Couldn’t stand staying in Jiangzhou and had to come to Yunzhou?”

At this moment, a sarcastic voice rang out. Jia Ze approached with a mocking expression, two women clinging to him, followed by four towering bodyguards.

Instantly, the atmosphere in the restaurant became tense.

Everyone could see that Jia Ze was here with malicious intent, clearly targeting Xu Shaochen.

Those four bodyguards behind him also indicated his powerful status. For a moment, the onlookers began to worry for Xu Shaochen.

Meanwhile, outside the restaurant, Long Yi and Long Er saw what was happening. They quickly got out of the car and walked into the restaurant, standing behind Xu Shaochen.

The crowd stopped worrying because this showed that Xu Shaochen wasn’t ordinary either. There was no need for them to worry so much.

Liu Rushuang remained calm, accustomed to this by now. As long as Xu Shaochen wasn’t the one to suffer, it was fine.

“What’s the matter? Have you forgotten your beating so quickly and want another?”

Xu Shaochen took a sip from his wine glass and said calmly to Jia Ze.

Hearing this, Jia Ze instantly burned with rage. His face contorted as he slapped the table, growling through gritted teeth, “Xu, I’ll tell you this. You’re in Yunzhou, not Jiangzhou. Mind your words or you might not live to see another day!”

That day when he was brutally beaten by Xu Shaochen was the greatest humiliation of his life. Now that Xu Shaochen had brought it up again, it hit a sore spot.

“Splash!”

Xu Shaochen poured the remaining wine in his glass on Jia Ze’s face. Then, wiping his hands with a handkerchief, he said, “Stay away when you talk to me. Your mouth stinks.”

Hiss—

Everyone gasped in shock, looking at Xu Shaochen and then at the bedraggled Jia Ze.

They suddenly realized that perhaps they had misunderstood the situation. It seemed that Xu Shaochen was actually bullying Jia Ze.

Jia Ze’s four bodyguards quickly started approaching Xu Shaochen.

Long Yi and Long Er fearlessly stepped forward, glaring coldly at them.

“Good, very good. Xu, I will remember this drink. I’ll personally repay you with a whole case.” Jia Ze wiped the alcohol from his face and spat out through clenched teeth.

Xu Shaochen smiled slightly and said lightly, “This drink costs 98,000 yuan a bottle. Are you sure you want to repay me with a case?”

Jia Ze’s expression froze for a moment. His face alternated between green and white, unable to utter a word.

After all, he never expected even his threats to be so easily outmatched.

“I came here today just to tell you that I’m watching you. Prepare to die!”

After delivering this cold threat, Jia Ze turned and strode towards the restaurant entrance.

“Hey.”

Xu Shaochen called out to Jia Ze’s retreating figure.

Jia Ze paused, turning his head back with a sneer, “What, scared? Want to beg for mercy?”

“I just want to advise you to let this go. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”

Xu Shaochen said seriously, meaning every word. He was genuinely advising Jia Ze not to ruin his life.

“Hmph! You’re still so cocky on the brink of death. I wonder how long you can keep that smile.”

Jia Ze snorted coldly. Xu Shaochen’s arrogance further angered him. If he didn’t teach Xu Shaochen a lesson, he would never gain peace of mind.

“Sigh why don’t you listen?”

Watching Jia Ze walk out of the restaurant, Xu Shaochen shook his head helplessly. He was genuinely trying to help him.

If you don’t listen to a handsome guy’s advice, you’ll suffer soon.

Everyone in the restaurant had twitching mouths.

Damn, the guy came here to threaten him, but instead, Xu Shaochen turned the tables and threatened him back.
