Chapter 397: It Might Be Better If You Back Off

Mei Liangxin firmly refuted Zhang Wei and Zhao Qing’s claim that he was selling out his sister.

Was he really such a shameless person? Knowing his sister’s downfall was inevitable, he simply went with the flow to earn some pocket money.

Besides, what’s wrong with spending some money on his brother-in-law, Xu Shaochen? There’s nothing wrong with that.

For example, the photos he sent to Xu Shaochen last night earned him five hundred thousand.

He found making money this way much easier than doing business.

“What about you guys? Any plans for tonight?”

Xu Shaochen looked at the three of them and asked.

“I’m going to take advantage of your date with Xiaoying, sneak into her room, take photos of her diary, and then video call my Little Shuangshuang.”

Mei Liangxin’s expression while saying the last line was so annoying that it made one want to slap him.

“We’re going to a bar.”

Zhang Wei and Zhao Qing exchanged a look. The nightlife of bachelors often involved late-night snacks, bars, karaoke, or playing games all night.

Time slipped by and evening came.

Tonight, Xu Shaochen was picking up Mei Liangying from her house.

Mei Liangying didn’t live with the Mei Family but had her place outside.

About ten minutes later, Mei Liangying appeared.

She wore a stunning red strapless dress. Apart from the perfect curves, her long, snowy legs were captivating. She looked like a flame, but not hot, instead appearing a bit cold.

Undoubtedly, she was a beauty who looked great in anything.

If she dressed up intentionally, she was doubly beautiful and dazzling.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Mei Liangying apologized softly.

“You must have patience when waiting for a beauty to dine together.”

Xu Shaochen smiled calmly and opened the car door for her.

The car headed to a Japanese restaurant introduced by Mei Liangying.

He didn’t like Japanese cuisine, especially not sashimi, and he detested wasabi.

But none of that mattered. Even if he ate nothing, watching Mei Liangying was enough to sate him.

…………

Meanwhile.

After an afternoon of fermenting.

Zheng Nan’s Challenge Letter went viral on local Songshan forums.

The buzz was due to two reasons: it’s rare now to see challenges issued this way.

The second reason was because of Xu Shaochen’s status, attracting much attention.

“Wow! Dude, challenging Xu Shaochen? That’s gutsy! Play around if you want, but don’t joke with your life.”

“What do you mean by that, my friend?”

“I’m from Songshan but studying in Jiangzhou, in the same class as Xu Shaochen. He’s insanely strong, like he’s cheating.”

“Really? Good thing I’m a local in Songshan, so I can watch the excitement.”

In the hospital room, Zheng Nan and others also saw these comments.

Many who knew Xu Shaochen vouched for his impressive fighting skills.

“This… won’t cause any trouble, right?”

Zheng Nan had a bad premonition. Just how strong was Xu Shaochen? “Young Master, don’t worry. He’s just a brat. I can beat him into calling me ‘dad’ anytime, maybe even send him straight to heaven.”

A white man sneered dismissively. These foolish Longguo people always exaggerated.

“Second Young Master, Tom is right. Either one of us can easily kill him. Longguo’s so-called kung fu is just a joke. Who believes in that anymore?”

Another white man named Jim agreed and expressed his disdain for Xu Shaochen.

Hearing this, Zheng Nan nodded, thinking that those people must be boasting.

How powerful could a college student be? Could he possibly be tougher than the two professional underground fighters with him? “Jim, deliver the challenge letter to him. Don’t be too fierce, or you might scare him.”

Zheng Nan handed the challenge letter to Jim, speaking with amusement.

“Hahaha…”

Everyone laughed aloud at this.

…………

Japanese restaurant.

This place had a viral aesthetic, but it was genuinely run by Japanese people.

There were no private rooms, but a long counter arrangement with kimono-clad female chefs preparing food before you, for you to eat fresh.

This ensured you witnessed the entire cooking process and the freshness of ingredients while enjoying the kimono beauties.

Of course, the prices were ‘cute’. Excluding drinks, the average cost per person was 2888.

“It seems you don’t like Japanese cuisine much, so why accompany me here? We could have chosen something else.”

Mei Liangying looked at Xu Shaochen a little apologetically.

“I don’t like Japanese food, but I like you. That’s enough,” Xu Shaochen said as he wrapped his arm around Mei Liangying’s slender waist.

Mei Liangying’s cheeks flushed. She struggled a bit before saying, “Eating is inconvenient like this.”

Only then did Xu Shaochen let go of Mei Liangying, telling himself it could happen often in the future.

“Hi, beautiful lady. I see you really like Japanese food. I’m from Tokyo. Can I introduce myself to you?”

Just then, a short Japanese guy with an accent approached, trying to chat up Mei Liangying.

“I don’t think that’s necessary. It might be better if you back off,”

Xu Shaochen said coldly to the short guy, “Damn, can’t you see I’m sitting beside her? And you still dare to hit on her? Do you think I’m invisible?”

“Baka!” the Japanese guy yelled in anger at Xu Shaochen, “In Longguo, you have a saying about pursuing a fair lady… I…”

“That’s meant for Longguo people. Are you worthy? Get lost!”

Before he finished, Xu Shaochen rudely interrupted.

Forgive him, he had a natural aversion and hostility toward the Japanese, like most of his countrymen.

“Baka!”

The short Japanese guy slammed the counter, glaring at Xu Shaochen, “Damn Shinra pig, how dare you insult the noble Japanese people? You should die!”

Everyone who heard this turned grim and looked unkindly at the short Japanese guy.

Because he had just insulted all Longguo people.

Slap!

Xu Shaochen slapped him across the face and said coldly, “You talk trash, you get hit. Keep it up, and I’ll break your mouth. Got it?”

“Inoue-kun, what’s happening?”

At that moment, three more Japanese guys came over, eyeing Xu Shaochen coldly.

“Damn it, teach this ignorant Shinra person a lesson!”

Inoue rubbed the mark on his face, pointed at Xu Shaochen, and said through gritted teeth.

Long Yi and Long Er stepped forward to block the group, at the same time, bodyguards rushed in from outside.
