Chapter 358: Mei Liangxin’s Spring Has Come
by xennovelAfter Xu Shaochen left the hotel,
he went to Xu Corporation and informed Linda of the situation.
“This Han Taiyu is really two-faced.” Linda said angrily after hearing the news, her mood darkening.
Apparently, Han Taiyu’s act had deceived her, making her believe he was on their side.
She never expected him to be pulling such tricks behind her back. It felt like a slap across Linda’s face, adding to her fury.
“Shall we take him down?”
Linda asked Xu Shaochen.
The person in charge of this national branch held a small percentage of Xu Corporation’s shares, making them a minor shareholder.
Removing him wasn’t impossible, it would just take a bit of effort.
“Forget it, let him bounce around for a few more days. There’s no need for drastic measures right now.”
Xu Shaochen waved off the suggestion. Xu Corporation was currently in a delicate balance. If they moved against Han Taiyu, the balance would be disrupted, harming the bigger picture.
After all, if they made a move, the elders in the company wouldn’t just stand by. Even if they succeeded in taking Han Taiyu down, the cost might outweigh the benefit.
Moreover, who could guarantee that the next person to take over would be on their side? Xu Shaochen chatted with Linda a bit more before heading home.
A night passed…
The next morning.
Xu Shaochen got up early since today was the day his mother was being discharged.
However, he was shocked when he arrived at the Hospital. The entrance was lined with luxury cars.
What important figure had been hospitalized here?
“Mr. Xu.”
“Mr. Xu.”
As soon as they saw Xu Shaochen, all the car doors opened, and one after another, men in suits got out.
“Chairman Han, what’s the meaning of this?”
Xu Shaochen asked Han Tianxiong with a puzzled look.
Han Tianxiong smiled: “Mr. Xu, we heard the Madam was being discharged, so we came to celebrate and welcome her home.”
“Yes, Mr. Xu. We’ve even booked the hotel. Everything is ready, just waiting for the Madam’s discharge.”
“Mr. Xu…”
The others eagerly echoed. Xu Shaochen’s mother was in her early forties, not very old, but they called her the Madam out of respect.
After all, they couldn’t think of another title appropriate for the occasion.
Xu Shaochen was somewhat speechless. He felt a bit helpless. These people were constantly watching him, seizing any chance to curry favor.
But since these people had come, he couldn’t just send them away.
After all, their presence here was a sign of respect to Xu Shaochen. These people were usually high-ranking individuals. If he sent them packing, it would be a loss of face.
Face is something that’s always given mutually.
“Since that’s the case, Shaochen thanks you all in advance. Please wait outside for a moment. I’ll go fetch my mother.”
Xu Shaochen’s mind was racing, but his face wore a bright smile, acknowledging their efforts.
After all, what they wanted was exactly this kind of attitude. If he acted nonchalant, this group might become anxious.
This is the dominance that comes with absolute status. You don’t need to target anyone specifically, just show a hint of displeasure, and they’ll reflect on their actions in fear.
Others would also join in attacking that person to please you.
Xu Shaochen thought being wealthy and powerful was really exhausting. He began to miss the difficult days of the past… Alright, no more pretending. All of this is just the empty whining of the rich.
“Mr. Xu.”
As soon as Xu Shaochen entered the Hospital, Dean Fu came up to him quickly.
“Dean Fu, there’s no need to keep circling around me. Go attend to your work. I’m just here to see someone. I’ll manage my mother’s discharge myself.”
Xu Shaochen said warmly. No matter what, Dean Fu had done his job perfectly.
“Alright. In that case, I won’t disturb you any further, Mr. Xu.”
Dean Fu didn’t press the issue. After speaking, he turned and left.
Xu Shaochen arrived at Mei Liangxin’s room but stopped in his tracks as he was about to enter.
What the heck! What was Mei Liangxin doing? Mei Liangxin was hugging a Young Nurse and kissing her passionately. Xu Shaochen could even hear the smacking sounds.
A mischievous grin spread across Xu Shaochen’s face. He hid behind the door and shouted angrily: “You scoundrel! How dare you touch my girlfriend! Are you tired of living?!”
“Ah! Crap! Get off! Her boyfriend’s here! I’m dead!”
The room instantly erupted into chaos. Mei Liangxin turned pale with fear. After all, in his current state, he couldn’t fight back even if someone beat him to death.
“Wait, didn’t you say you didn’t have a boyfriend?” Mei Liangxin asked suddenly, regaining his composure.
The Young Nurse, in the middle of fixing her clothes, froze: “Yeah, I… I don’t think I have a boyfriend, do I?”
Even she was a bit confused.
“Mei Liangxin, looks like you’re having a good time. I thought you’d be bored all by yourself, but clearly, I was wrong.”
Xu Shaochen walked into the room with a playful smile, watching them with amusement.
“Get lost! You scared me so much I went limp. If I end up impotent, I swear I’m going to throw a bomb into your house when you’re in bed!”
Mei Liangxin was furious when he saw Xu Shaochen and threw a pillow at him.
“I… I’ll step out for a moment.”
The Young Nurse’s face blushed so deeply it looked like it could bleed. She shot Mei Liangxin a fierce look. She had already told him they shouldn’t do it here, but he insisted.
“Ah, young love,”
Xu Shaochen said, his eyes full of teasing.
“I’m in love. Is that a problem?” Mei Liangxin retorted with righteous indignation.
Xu Shaochen eyed him suspiciously: “Really?”
“Of course, I’m serious. I won’t visit prostitutes anymore. I’m going to be a good man.” Mei Liangxin said earnestly, his face expressing a sweet, love-struck seriousness. He had clearly fallen in love.
Xu Shaochen was stunned for a moment. Wow, Mei Liangxin’s spring had really come.
“Well, take your time with your romance. I just came up to see if you were still alive. I’m off to pick up my mom from discharge.”
Xu Shaochen tossed out those words and turned to leave. As he exited the room, he beckoned to Long Yi and said, “Check up on that nurse. I want to know everything about her family, even the last eighteen generations.”
Xu Shaochen didn’t want Mei Liangxin to be hurt in love, so he had to make sure this woman was good enough for Mei Liangxin first.
He now truly saw Mei Liangxin as a brother, even closer than a real one.
After all, a real brother wouldn’t necessarily take a bullet for him, but Mei Liangxin had done so without hesitation.
For that alone, Xu Shaochen would never betray Mei Liangxin in his life.
