Chapter 406: I Know You Don’t Know

Xu Shaochen waved his hand, motioning Mei Liangying to sit beside him.

Then, pointing at Ma Chengwu, he seriously said: “She is my woman.”

Mei Liangying’s face reddened. She shyly lowered her head but didn’t refute.

“S-Sorry, I didn’t know,” Ma Chengwu said, trying to endure the pain in his head as he looked at Xu Shaochen.

At first, he was just like Yuan Hua.

They both thought Tang Siyu was just using Xu Shaochen as a way to avoid dealing with tonight’s situation. They didn’t take Xu Shaochen seriously.

But now, reality had slapped him hard. He could barely distinguish east from west.

Xu Shaochen nodded, his tone calm: “I know you didn’t know. So, now I want you to know, so you remember, and don’t make this mistake again.”

After he finished speaking, Xu Shaochen poured several different kinds of alcohol into a decanter, stirred it a bit, and then pushed it toward Ma Chengwu.

“Drink it, then get lost.”

Ma Chengwu’s face twitched, and his throat stirred. Seeing such a large amount of mixed alcohol made his scalp tingle.

After drinking this, he’ll definitely need to go to the hospital for stomach pumping.

He really wished he could slap himself a few times. Why couldn’t he control his mouth?

Long Yi released Ma Chengwu and stepped back to stand behind Xu Shaochen again.

Ma Chengwu picked up the decanter and started drinking, spilling some as he went. Finally, he managed to finish it.

After he finished drinking, his head was spinning, and he could barely stand. He looked at Xu Shaochen and slurred, “I… I was wrong.”

As soon as he said that, he fell backward onto the floor, completely knocked out from the alcohol.

“Ma Shao!”

His few friends quickly rushed forward to help him up, then left the bar.

Xu Shaochen waved his hand, and the bodyguards dispersed, restoring calm to the bar.

Yuan Hua stood there, at a loss for what to do. After a while, he stepped forward and said, “Thank you, Young Master Xu, for helping tonight. I apologize for my earlier rudeness. Let me toast you.”

“No need. I can’t afford to drink that toast. I wasn’t helping you; Ma Chengwu just happened to irritate me.”

Just as Yuan Hua was about to pour Xu Shaochen a drink, Xu Shaochen pressed his hand on the wine glass and casually said.

Yuan Hua’s body stiffened instantly. Bent over with the wine bottle, he looked embarrassed, his expression shifting awkwardly.

Forcing a laugh, he stood upright and helplessly looked to Tang Siyu for help, hoping he’d defuse the awkward situation.

But Tang Siyu acted as if he didn’t see anything, drinking by himself and ignoring Yuan Hua.

Clearly, he had given Yuan Hua a chance earlier, but Yuan Hua didn’t know how to take it. Opportunities like that don’t come around often.

Seeing Tang Siyu ignore him, Yuan Hua became even more embarrassed. After a long silence, he finally said, “You all carry on drinking. I’ll go get someone to clean this up.”

After saying that, he quickly turned around and left. He couldn’t stand to stay any longer.

“The quality of the friends you pick isn’t very high,” Huang Wenqiang said to Tang Siyu.

Tang Siyu smiled indifferently and nonchalantly replied, “There are differences between friends.”

……………………

Hospital.

After inducing vomiting and taking some sobering drugs, Ma Chengwu was now awake. The wound on his head had also been treated.

“Damn, Ma Shao, that guy was way too arrogant. He was only relying on having more people with guns.”

“Exactly! It’s not like we can’t get guns. Ma Shao, should we do something to him?”

“Of course we should! Huang Wenqiang and Tang Siyu I can understand, but who does that guy think he is?”

Next to the hospital bed, several friends were chattering about revenge, demanding to take back their pride.

Ma Chengwu lay in bed, his expression uncertain.

Since Xu Shaochen could mingle with people like Tang Siyu and Huang Wenqiang and still have so many bodyguards with him, his background was definitely not simple.

He knew he’d probably have to swallow this loss.

But Ma Chengwu was unwilling.

They were all young men. Who wouldn’t have a bit of pride?

And that woman earlier was truly stunning. The thought of Mei Liangying’s exquisite face and alluring figure made Ma Chengwu’s heart race.

Damn it, he had always indulged in the pleasures of Songshan, yet he never noticed such a beautiful woman here before. How did she get taken by someone else?

But, Xu… why does that name sound familiar?

He thought about it but couldn’t remember where he had seen him before.

“Alright, enough talking. This time we might just have to take the loss!”

Pushing all those thoughts aside, Ma Chengwu gritted his teeth as he spoke.

After all, he wasn’t completely clueless. He knew that trying to take back his pride on his own would be nothing short of a pipe dream.

Even though his friends were clearly frustrated, all they could do was sigh helplessly.

“Ma Shao, but maybe it’s not entirely hopeless.”

Suddenly, one of the young men winked and said.

Everyone looked at him: “Why are you still being so secretive? Spit it out already!”

“Ma Shao, don’t forget, Young Master Ye is coming back tomorrow,” the young man said.

Ma Chengwu’s eyes first lit up, but then he quickly shook his head: “Young Master Ye’s family moved to Yijing a long time ago. Even if he returns to the country, it won’t help.”

“Ma Shao, don’t be so narrow-minded. You and Young Master Ye are already close. If he comes back, you should invite him to Songshan for a visit. After all, this is his hometown,” the young man said, his eyes gleaming with cunning.

“Yeah, Ma Shao. You and Young Master Ye were on good terms before he left the country.”

“Ma Shao, I think it’s doable. Yijing is a big city. Young Master Ye surely knows some big names by now. With him handling it, teaching that guy a lesson will be a piece of cake.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. After all, they had lost face earlier and had to get their revenge.

A cold glint flashed in Ma Chengwu’s eyes, and he gritted his teeth and nodded: “Alright, damn it, let’s show that kid what we’re made of. Bring me my phone.”

“Here, Ma Shao.” A young man quickly handed Ma Chengwu his phone.

Ma Chengwu took the phone and dialed a number labeled “Ye Tao.”

“Young Master Ye, it’s me. The brothers in Songshan heard you’re returning, and they’re excited. It’s been a long time, and we want to celebrate. Let’s all get together… Yes, yes… Alright, Young Master Ye.”

After a moment, Ma Chengwu hung up the phone and smiled at the others: “It’s settled.”

Everyone smiled back, eager for the day to come so they could make Xu Shaochen pay for his arrogance tonight.

Once Ye Tao, the former number one Young Master of Songshan, returned, they wouldn’t put people like Tang Siyu and Huang Wenqiang in their eyes anymore.
