Chapter 502: He’s My Brother

Lin Rong took Lin Yao to get their wounds bandaged.

Only Xu Shaochen and his group remained in the ward once again.

“Ah Kai, if you’re really finding it hard to swallow this anger, I can help you. After all, you did pave the way for me and Wanxue’s happy ending. I owe you this favor.”

Xu Shaochen looked at Lin Kai and spoke earnestly. He deliberately changed his way of addressing him from ‘Young Master Lin’ to ‘Ah Kai,’ making them seem closer.

Lin Wanxue, however, could see through Xu Shaochen’s intentions of provoking a conflict between the Lin and Zheng Families. She fanned the flames by adding, “Xiao Kai, the Zhengs have gone too far. It’s just a kids’ fight over nothing, it shouldn’t have led to broken limbs. I don’t care about the Lin Family or Zheng Family, I just know I’m your sister, and this grudge must be avenged!”

Women are natural-born actresses. Lin Wanxue brilliantly portrayed her concern for Lin Kai and her anger at this moment.

Lin Kai remained silent, clearly understanding the seriousness of the situation. Zheng Yun was the only son of the Zheng Family. If something truly happened, the Zheng Family would undoubtedly go mad.

Xu Shaochen sighed, “Sigh, maybe it’s best to let it go. To be honest, your older brothers’ advice wasn’t wrong. Sometimes, it’s better to endure for a moment to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

“That’s because it wasn’t them who lost a hand!” Lin Kai suddenly exploded with emotion, gritting his teeth as he said, “Xu Ge, I’m counting on you. Just break one of his hands.”

“Alright. Since you’ve asked, I’ll take care of it.”

Xu Shaochen nodded, then gave Long San a glance. His eyes flashed coldly as he tapped his knee twice without anyone noticing.

There’s a world of difference between breaking a hand and breaking a leg.

Long San nodded, then turned and left the ward.

“Xu Ge, thank you. I originally planned to introduce you to some friends tonight, but it seems that won’t be happening.”

Lin Kai sighed, looking at Xu Shaochen with some embarrassment.

Xu Shaochen gave a gentle smile, “We’ll talk about that later. For now, focus on healing your wounds. Don’t worry about anything else.”

After chatting with Lin Kai for a while longer, Xu Shaochen left the hospital with Lin Wanxue.

“You don’t need to accompany me to the hotel tonight. Go home for the next few days. You are the only daughter. Uncle Lin and Auntie Lin must love you dearly. What you need to do is to continue receiving that love.”

Xu Shaochen said to Lin Wanxue as they walked.

Initially, he intended to discard Lin Kai after using him. Arranging an ‘accident’ for Lin Yao and Lin Rong so they’d end up ‘drinking tea with God’ would have been enough.

But now, he felt that wasn’t a good idea. It would be best not to take anyone’s life.

However, Xu Shaochen still needed to think carefully about the specific implementation.

If he made a move, it had to be decisive, giving the other party no chance to recover.

“Understood.” Lin Wanxue clearly understood Xu Shaochen’s intentions and nodded in acknowledgement.

“Wanxue?”

At that moment, a female voice rang out.

The two turned to see a young man in a suit, accompanied by a tall woman, approaching.

“Xiaoli, what a coincidence.” Lin Wanxue forced a smile as she looked at the woman, then introduced her to Xu Shaochen, “This is my friend, Xiaoli.”

“Wanxue, aren’t you going to introduce the gentleman beside you?” Xiaoli’s gaze landed on Xu Shaochen.

Before Lin Wanxue could speak, Xu Shaochen extended his hand, “I’m her boyfriend. My surname is Xu.”

“Mr. Xu, a pleasure to meet you. I’m Xiaoli’s boyfriend, Jiangnan.”

The young man beside Xiaoli shook hands with Xu Shaochen, then took out a business card and handed it over.

Xu Shaochen noticed that Jiangnan kept glancing at Lin Wanxue out of the corner of his eye.

Well, who wouldn’t? Even though Lin Wanxue had been divorced once, she was still the top socialite and recognized beauty of Hong Kong. There were countless men waiting to take her hand.

Xu Shaochen secretly laughed. Those eager men would never have a chance at a woman who was merely his plaything. Life could be so ironic.

Xu Shaochen glanced at the business card, which simply read ‘Chairman of Jiangnan Group.’ It sounded impressive.

“Mr. Xu, may I ask what business you’re in? Could I perhaps get your contact details? We might have opportunities to cooperate.”

Jiangnan had waited a long time but didn’t get a business card from Xu Shaochen, so he had to ask first.

He was very curious about who Xu Shaochen was and how he had so quickly won over Lin Wanxue.

After all, Lin Wanxue was the eldest daughter of the Lin Family.

Didn’t you see how Zhou Yun, a person from the Mainland, rose to prominence in no time?

“I’m sorry, I didn’t bring a business card with me.”

Xu Shaochen smiled apologetically, politely declining.

Jiangnan Group, my foot.

Maybe they were big in Hong Kong, but since I haven’t heard of them, they must be small-time.

Xu Shaochen had no interest in associating with such insignificant figures because they were of no use to him.

In fact, if these people knew his identity, they would probably come begging to him. Why bother?

Jiangnan frowned, his face darkening, “Mr. Xu, are you looking down on me?”

“Whether I look down on you or not, shouldn’t you have some self-awareness, Brother? A good dog doesn’t block the way. Move along.”

Mei Liangxin had been particularly irritable lately. Xu Shaochen couldn’t help but frown, thinking that this guy must have something on his mind that needed sorting out.

“Mr. Xu, it seems your dog is a bit disobedient. Mind if I help discipline it for you?”

Jiangnan’s eyes coldly swept over Mei Liangxin as he calmly addressed Xu Shaochen.

“He’s my brother.”

Xu Shaochen said calmly.

“Oh? Then I must apologize for my poor judgment.” Jiangnan felt even more contempt for Xu Shaochen.

Anyone who could call such a person ‘brother’ couldn’t be anyone significant. Otherwise, he would have met them in Hong Kong already.

Realizing this, he felt even more resentful of Xu Shaochen. With the Lin Family’s help, Xu Shaochen could one day surpass him.

“Miss Lin, there are many people with ill intentions these days. I hope you won’t be deceived by certain individuals. Wouldn’t you agree, Mr. Xu?”

Jiangnan smiled subtly at Lin Wanxue, clearly hinting as he spoke.

In his view, Lin Wanxue had just divorced and hadn’t spent much time with Xu Shaochen. Sowing discord between them would be easy.

He didn’t even need to succeed in causing a rift, just planting a seed of doubt in Lin Wanxue’s mind would suffice.

“And what’s that got to do with you?” Lin Wanxue retorted bluntly, leaving Jiangnan speechless.

Xiaoli frowned, feeling unhappy about her man being humiliated, “Wanxue, what do you mean by that? Jiangnan was just looking out for you. Was there any need to be so nasty?”

She paused and then looked at Xu Shaochen with disdain, sarcastically adding, “Besides, Jiangnan is right. The person with ill intentions isn’t far away—it’s right in front of you!”
