Chapter 37: Soon, You Won’t Be Laughing Anymore
by xennovelIn an instant.
Everyone’s eyes were on Xu Shaochen.
“Damn, who is this guy? He’s actually daring enough to talk to Han Feng like that. He must be tired of living.”
“Exactly. Han Feng’s family owns a company. If you provoke him, he can bury you with money alone.”
“To dare ruin Han Feng’s moment, tsk tsk, this guy is doomed.”
The crowd looked at Xu Shaochen with a mixture of sneer and ridicule. Their expressions were playful, eager to watch the drama unfold.
After all, there’s hardly ever too much drama for bystanders. They were hoping for a fight.
“Who are you to even speak here? Get lost!”
Han Feng got up from the ground, glaring at Xu Shaochen with a gloomy expression and spoke coldly.
“Shaochen.”
Xie Wei’s eyes lit up when she saw Xu Shaochen. She avoided Han Feng and ran over to hug Xu Shaochen.
“So, what do you think of me now?” Xu Shaochen kissed Xie Wei on the lips, then gave Han Feng a mocking look.
Xie Wei shyly leaned into Xu Shaochen’s embrace, her heart racing as she looked at his handsome profile.
Whoa! The crowd erupted in shock as they witnessed this scene.
“Damn, what am I seeing? The goddess Xie is in his arms, and he kissed her!”
“That’s not the shocking part. The shocking part is that the goddess Xie ran into his arms on her own! They’re a couple!”
“It’s him! I saw him being very close with goddess Xie last time!”
Everyone was blinded by disbelief. The woman Han Feng couldn’t win over was so close and intimate with a nobody like Xu Shaochen.
Han Feng’s face turned ashen as he watched this scene unfold. He felt as if he had swallowed something vile. Barely able to suppress his anger, he forced a smile and asked Xu Shaochen, “So, you’re Xie Wei’s boyfriend?”
“Got a problem with that?” Xu Shaochen lightly chuckled as he looked at Han Feng, interested in what this guy was plotting.
How dare you try to steal my woman? Know your place.
Han Feng smiled arrogantly, raising his head high as he said, “As a man, and a wealthy one at that, let me give you some advice. If you really care about Weiwei, then break up with her. Only someone like me can be worthy of her and give her happiness.”
“Competing with me over money?” Xu Shaochen looked at Han Feng as if he was an idiot. Of all things, he chose to compete with me over money? This was basically a freebie!
Seeing Xu Shaochen’s expression, Han Feng shook his head and smirked, “The money you’re talking about and the money I have are on different levels. Just a random piece of clothing I buy for Weiwei could cost more than your entire month’s expenses. Only I can give Weiwei the best life, and you can’t.”
“Indeed, the money I’m talking about and what you’re referring to are not on the same level.” Xu Shaochen looked seriously at Han Feng. After all, I’m the richest person in the world. How could your money be on the same level as mine?
Han Feng didn’t catch the true meaning behind Xu Shaochen’s words. He thought Xu Shaochen was acknowledging the difference between them and nodded proudly, “Good, it seems you’re quite self-aware. How about this? I won’t leave you empty-handed. Break up with Weiwei, and I’ll give you 100,000 yuan. How about that?”
Everyone turned to look at Xu Shaochen, curious to see how he would respond. After all, 100,000 yuan was no small amount for an ordinary person.
“How about this—you kneel and kowtow to me, and I’ll give you 1 million yuan. What do you think?” Xu Shaochen smiled lightly at Han Feng, raising one finger.
Boom! His words dropped like a thunderclap.
“Is he insane? He actually asked Han Feng to kneel and kowtow. He must be out of his mind.”
“Yeah, and 1 million yuan? He couldn’t even come up with 1 million yuan if his life depended on it!”
“Does he think 1 million yuan is 100 yuan? Besides Han Feng, who here could casually come up with 1 million yuan?”
Everyone thought Xu Shaochen must have gone mad. Otherwise, how could he say something so outrageous, provoking Han Feng like this? He’s just asking for death.
Han Feng’s smile froze. He thought Xu Shaochen would give up after realizing the difference between them, but he didn’t expect Xu Shaochen to be so ungrateful and even dared to humiliate him.
“Kid, you better not bite the hand that feeds you. Do you know how much these roses on the ground cost? I spent 50,000 yuan just to confess to Weiwei. Could you afford that? I can give her luxury cars and designer bags. Can you? Wake up, you’re just a poor nobody. What do you have to compete with me?”
Han Feng could no longer hold back. He pointed at the roses arranged in a heart shape on the ground, glaring at Xu Shaochen with gritted teeth.
“Exactly, what does a poor nobody have to compete with Han Feng?”
“Xie Wei really doesn’t know what’s good for her. Han Feng liking her is such an honor, but she insists on being with a poor nobody. She must be crazy.”
“Oh my god, 50,000 yuan! That’s my entire year’s living expenses.”
The crowd was shocked to hear this. They didn’t expect the roses on the ground to have cost 50,000 yuan, and the women in the crowd were especially green with envy toward Xie Wei.
Xu Shaochen smiled lightly, pointing to the roses on the ground. He looked at Xie Wei in his arms and asked, “Do you like these flowers?”
“Since they weren’t from you, I don’t like them.” Xie Wei shook her head.
“Then I’ll send you some.” Xu Shaochen nodded and then pulled out his phone, dialing Linda. “Hey, Linda, arrange for a helicopter filled with roses to arrive over Jiangzhou University’s girls’ dormitory.”
“Hahaha, he’s killing me! What did he just say? Arrange a helicopter? Who does he think he is, in a movie?”
“Is he trying to make me laugh to death so he can inherit my Alipay loan? Calling for a helicopter with a single phone call… more like a paper airplane.”
“How could someone as smart as Xie Wei like a guy like this? Has she lost her mind…”
The crowd burst out laughing after hearing Xu Shaochen’s phone call. Their laughter was exaggerated, and some even teared up from laughing so hard.
If Han Feng had said this, they wouldn’t have been surprised since he had the means, but hearing it from Xu Shaochen made it seem like a total joke.
If Xu Shaochen was really that powerful, why hadn’t they heard of him before? Even Han Feng smirked mockingly. Even for him, finding a helicopter wasn’t easy, and now Xu Shaochen was making such claims? Wasn’t he afraid of biting his tongue?
“Kid, that’s the best joke I’ve heard this year. I have to say, you really made me laugh.” Han Feng didn’t hold back his mocking laughter as he stared at Xu Shaochen.
Xu Shaochen chuckled and said, “Let’s hope you keep laughing because very soon, you won’t be able to laugh anymore.”
