Chapter 40: The Han Family’s Response
by xennovelAfter riding the carousel three times,
Xu Shaochen finally got off.
He was feeling extremely dizzy, and Xie Wei was even worse, now leaning entirely against his chest.
Xie Wei swore that she never wanted to ride a carousel again, especially not with Xu Shaochen.
It was absolute torture.
“I’m going to the restroom to wash my face.”
It took Xie Wei a while to regain her composure. Looking at Xu Shaochen’s pale face, she said that the carousel had made her dizzy, and she needed to splash some cold water on her face to perk up.
“I’ll wait for you outside.”
Xu Shaochen waited outside the restroom while Xie Wei went in.
Earlier, Han Feng had confessed his feelings to Xie Wei. Even in Xu Shaochen’s absence, she resolutely rejected Han Feng and made it clear that she already had a boyfriend.
From that moment on, Xie Wei’s importance in Xu Shaochen’s heart grew a bit. If he had only been playing around before, now he was starting to take her somewhat seriously.
“Hey bro, interested in some videos?”
Just then, a guy wearing a baseball cap and acting suspiciously walked over and whispered in Xu Shaochen’s ear.
“What kind of videos?” Xu Shaochen raised an eyebrow and looked at the man.
The man looked around, then gave Xu Shaochen a knowing glance: “The kind with two actors, one tall and lean, the other plump and soft. These two are veterans in this industry. You know what I mean.”
“What do you take me for! Do I look like that kind of person? I don’t understand anything you’re talking about, and I never watch that kind of stuff. You’re insulting me!” Xu Shaochen exploded, righteously scolding the man.
“If you don’t want to buy, then don’t buy. Why are you yelling?” The man, annoyed, tossed out those words and turned to leave.
“Get back here!” Xu Shaochen shouted after the man.
The man turned back, looking at Xu Shaochen with an unfriendly glare: “What do you want now?”
“What prices do you have? I’ll buy a few to criticize them from an artistic perspective.” Xu Shaochen said this with a straight face, not a hint of embarrassment.
“Oh, a real pro here! Fifty videos for forty-five bucks, I’ll send them right to your phone. Deal?” The man pulled out his phone, opened a folder, and showed it to Xu Shaochen.
After paying, Xu Shaochen put on his headphones and found a quiet corner, eagerly clicking on the file.
Moments later, the smile on his face froze completely.
Damn it! The videos turned out to be a collection of Guo Degang and Yu Qian’s comedy sketches!
No wonder he said there were two actors, one tall and thin, the other plump and round. What a scam! Damn it, selling comedy sketches like you’re pushing some kind of adult films. Isn’t this just deceiving the customer?
Xu Shaochen mentally cursed the guy and all the females in his family for generations.
“Huh, you like watching comedy?”
Unbeknownst to him, Xie Wei had come out of the restroom and, seeing the video playing on Xu Shaochen’s phone, she asked in surprise.
“Haha yeah, I like it a lot.” Xu Shaochen’s facial muscles twitched as he forced a couple of dry laughs. Inside, a thousand curses were running through his mind.
But Xie Wei didn’t dwell on it. She eagerly tugged at Xu Shaochen’s hand: “Come on, let’s try something else. You can watch comedy later when we’re done.”
Xu Shaochen and Xie Wei tried various attractions at the amusement park, leaving laughter echoing around them.
………………
The Han Family.
“Slap!”
Looking at Han Feng in front of him, Han Tianxiong slapped him across the face and gritted his teeth, saying, “You useless fool! You’ve brought shame to the entire Han family! How could I have raised such a disgraceful son!”
“What do you think you’re doing? He’s not your son? If you want to hit someone, hit me, but don’t touch him!”
At that moment, Han Feng’s mother, Huang Xia, hurriedly stood up to shield him, glaring at Han Tianxiong.
“Go ahead and pamper this disgrace! He streaked through school in broad daylight, and it was Old Liu who had to call me about it! Han Feng has embarrassed me to no end!” Han Tianxiong’s face turned ashen with rage as he spoke, fuming at Han Feng.
Upon hearing this, Huang Xia screamed at Han Tianxiong, “How is that Han Feng’s fault? Instead of going after the brat who bullied him, here you are hitting your own son! What kind of father are you?”
“Revenge? You still have the nerve to ask for revenge? Making me take on a kid? Have you no shame? I’m the one who’s ashamed! Keep spoiling this brat, and one day, he’ll bring ruin to the entire Han family!” Han Tianxiong, seething with anger, coldly retorted before turning to leave.
“Han Tianxiong! Stop right there! Where do you think you’re going?” Huang Xia shouted after him.
“To the office, so I don’t have to look at this disgrace!” Han Tianxiong replied without turning back.
Feeling the fiery sting on his face, Han Feng’s expression darkened, his eyes brimming with hatred for Xu Shaochen.
Seeing Han Feng in this state, Huang Xia felt heartbroken, gnashing her teeth as she said, “Xiao Feng, don’t worry. If your father won’t help, your mother will. I’ll make sure whoever bullied you suffers a fate worse than death.”
“Mom, you’re the best.” Hearing this, Han Feng smiled, his mind rejoicing at the thought of getting his revenge. He couldn’t wait for it.
Huang Xia’s face lit up with a smile at his words. She quickly responded, “You’re my precious son. If I don’t protect you, who will? I’ll have someone look into who dared to mess with you.”
With that, Huang Xia pulled out her phone, dialing a number. Coldly, she commanded, “Xiao Feng got bullied at school today, and it was utterly humiliating. Find out who it was and break one of his legs to teach him a lesson. Oh, and bring that girl Xie Wei back here. Since Xiao Feng likes her, let her serve him.”
Huang Xia’s family had some underground connections in Jiangzhou, which was why she could be so arrogant after marrying into the Han family. Her family had her back.
So even if Han Tianxiong wouldn’t stand up for Han Feng, she could still find someone to handle it.
Han Feng’s eyes gleamed with excitement and cruelty. He could almost taste the anticipation of getting his revenge.
He could already picture Xu Shaochen lying on the ground, leg broken, begging for mercy.
As for Xie Wei, she’d soon be his. This b**** might have rejected him, but in the end, she would still end up in his hands.
The only regret he had was not being able to witness Xu Shaochen’s suffering in person.
