Chapter Index

    Mei Tianqing had already set the tone for Xu Shaochen’s matter, and the other members of the Mei Family could only accept it.

    However, there was one person who wasn’t content, and that was Chen Hui.

    Remembering how he had approached Xu Shaochen today, not only was Xu Shaochen unafraid, but he even acted arrogantly, mocking and humiliating him. This filled Chen Hui with rage.

    There’s no way he could let Xu Shaochen get away with this. He was determined to see Xu Shaochen dead.

    The hatred in his eyes burned fiercely, but none of it showed on his face.

    Because if he revealed any of this, he might end up being placed under house arrest.

    “Well then, for better or worse, go bring Mei Liangxin back tomorrow. Let’s get this over with soon.”

    Mei Tianqing spoke indifferently, as if he was putting a final period on Mei Liangxin’s life.

    “Big Brother, what about this year’s charity banquet…?”

    A middle-aged man stepped forward from the crowd.

    Mei Tianqing waved his hand, cutting him off: “You can represent the Mei Family tonight. Since Liangxin hasn’t been well these days, I really don’t have the mood for these things.”

    ……………….

    Qianyin Entertainment.

    This was an entertainment company that had risen rapidly. In Songshan, it was medium-sized, with strength in the upper middle tier.

    It was just after five, not even the end of the official workday.

    “Good day, Young Master Mei.”

    Several employees greeted Mei Liangxin as soon as they saw him enter the company.

    The employees inside the company all greeted him because they knew Mei Liangxin had a good relationship with their boss.

    Mei Liangxin nodded slightly to acknowledge them, then led Xu Shaochen and the others straight towards Mei Liangying’s office.

    “Bang.”

    As they approached the office, a faint smile appeared on Mei Liangxin’s face. He didn’t bother knocking and directly pushed the door open.

    At this moment, in the office, aside from Mei Liangying, there was also a young man.

    The two of them almost simultaneously turned to look at the doorway.

    “Bro.”

    Mei Liangying was momentarily stunned when she saw Mei Liangxin, then a smile broke across her cold, icy face as she quickly walked over.

    The young man’s face, however, darkened, his eyes flashing with an obscure light as if he was contemplating something.

    “It’s you!”

    Xu Shaochen and the others frowned when they saw the young man.

    This was the same guy who had caused trouble with them on the plane.

    “Yes, it’s me. So what?” The young man sneered coldly.

    Mei Liangxin glanced at him, then turned to Mei Liangying: “What’s going on? Why is he here?”

    “Dear Brother-in-Law, why shouldn’t I be here? It turns out that today is truly a case of relatives failing to recognize each other. Let me introduce myself; I am Si Mingfei, Xiaoying’s fiancé.”

    The young man smiled calmly, but the pride in his tone was evident.

    Damn, so what if you got the better of me earlier? Sooner or later, I will sleep with your sister.

    With that thought, the young man suddenly felt a lot better.

    “He is not my fiancé. It’s just something our father randomly arranged.” Mei Liangying’s eyes flashed with disgust as she spoke coldly.

    Mei Liangxin’s expression shifted, realizing now that Si Mingfei was the guy that the old man had arranged for Mei Liangying to marry in order to force him back to Songshan.

    This guy, of all people, is the one they want for his sister?

    Absolutely ridiculous.

    Zhao Qing, Zhang Wei, and Xu Shaochen were all equally surprised and hadn’t expected this coincidence.

    Si Mingfei snorted coldly: “Xiaoying, you shouldn’t speak like that. It was our parent’s decision and everyone in Songshan knows that you are my fiancée. Why even pretend?”

    “Is that so? Then let me tell you, from now on, she’s not your fiancée.” Xu Shaochen stepped forward, ready to save the damsel in distress. He was just that kind-hearted. How could he stand by and let such a beautiful flower be planted in manure?

    But if she were to be planted, she might as well plant herself in this patch of manure right here*(*ˊˋ)*(°°) Si Mingfei reacted as if he just heard something preposterous, directly ignoring Xu Shaochen as he faced Mei Liangying: “Xiaoying, I can overlook your defiance, but you must accompany me to tonight’s banquet. Otherwise, you can wait for our wedding at home, and this company will stay closed in the meantime.”

    “Si Mingfei, you shameless bastard!” Mei Liangying was livid; she never thought Si Mingfei would use her company to threaten her.

    Qianyin Entertainment was her independent business, her life’s work. How could she let it be destroyed?

    Si Mingfei ignored her protests, his face full of confidence: “You can try. With just one word from me, Qianyin can’t even leave a trace.”

    “I’ll protect Qianyin, and I’d like to see how you make it disappear.” Xu Shaochen scoffed, filled with disdain.

    “You?”

    “Hahaha… You’re killing me with laughter. Who do you think you are? How preposterous.”

    Si Mingfei laughed loudly, as if Xu Shaochen had just told a great joke.

    Mei Liangying frowned slightly and glanced at Xu Shaochen. What kind of friend does her brother have, boasting so shamelessly? Did he even realize what the Si Family represented in the entertainment industry?

    She felt that Xu Shaochen was acting recklessly, but since he was trying to help her, she couldn’t say anything.

    Xu Shaochen, undeterred by Si Mingfei’s ridicule, smiled calmly: “You can try.”

    “Contact all the entertainment companies and tell them to boycott Qianyin Entertainment across the industry. No questions, just do as I say!” Si Mingfei barked into his phone.

    Mei Liangying’s face turned white. It’s over. Her life’s work was ruined.

    Xu Shaochen also took out his phone and dialed a number, his tone calm: “Spread the word: anyone who touches Qianyin is moving against me, against the Xu Family.”

    With that, Xu Shaochen hung up the phone.

    “Hmph! Such a farce. Ridiculous.” Si Mingfei snorted, not bothering to hide his mockery.

    Moving against Qianyin is like moving against you? Who do you think you are, really?

    Mei Liangying also let out a bitter laugh, turning to Mei Liangxin defeatedly: “Brother, let’s leave.”

    The company was as good as gone. She didn’t take Xu Shaochen’s posturing seriously, thinking he was just trying to save face.

    Just as she turned around, however, she felt a warm sensation.

    It was Xu Shaochen, holding her hand gently. Instinctively, she wanted to pull away as a wave of disgust rose in her heart.

    “Just wait a little longer. Maybe there will be a miracle?” Xu Shaochen smiled softly, releasing her smooth hand.

    “A miracle? Is that really necessary? What’s the point?” Mei Liangying gave him a mocking smile.

    If it weren’t for her brother, she would’ve kicked Xu Shaochen out a long time ago.

    Arrogant, ignorant, and conceited. She couldn’t understand why her brother would befriend someone like this.

    At first, Si Mingfei was furious when he saw Xu Shaochen holding Mei Liangying’s hand, but after seeing Xu Shaochen humiliated, his mood improved significantly.

    If even I haven’t taken this woman yet, who do you think you are?

    “…Ring…Ring…Ring…”

    Suddenly, Si Mingfei’s phone rang.

    Thinking it was confirmation of his orders, he gave Mei Liangying a small smile: “Xiaoying, you still have a chance to reconsider. Come with me to the banquet tonight, and I’ll let Qianyin off the hook. How about it?”
