Chapter 522: Talk After He Finishes

In this quiet situation,

The sudden sound of footsteps was particularly jarring. Everyone instinctively turned to look toward the stairs.

“Dad, you must stand up for me…”

Seeing the middle-aged man, Chen Zihao quickly stepped forward.

The person who arrived was none other than Chen Zihao’s father, the head of the Chen Family, Chen Shan.

“Slap!”

Before Chen Zihao could finish speaking, Chen Shan slapped him across the face and then kicked him away.

“You ungrateful son! Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused me?”

Everyone shuddered internally. Damn, could this be Old Wang Next Door’s son? Otherwise, how could he hit him so hard without any hesitation?

“Dad…”

Chen Zihao wanted to speak again, but Chen Shan didn’t pay him any attention. He quickly walked up to Xu Shaochen and said calmly,

“Young Master Xu, it’s a father’s fault for not teaching his son properly. My unfilial son was blind and offended you. Though you’d be justified in handling it any way you see fit, I still hope Young Master Xu could show some mercy. My Chen Family would be eternally grateful.”

Chen Shan could be polite when facing Xu Shaochen, but he couldn’t bring himself to grovel.

“How about this? Whatever Chen Da Shao just asked me to do, I’ll ask him to do in return. Do you think that’s fair?”

Xu Shaochen looked at Chen Shan and asked.

Chen Shan’s expression shifted uncertainly because he didn’t know what Chen Zihao had just asked of Xu Shaochen.

“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take that as your consent.”

Without waiting for Chen Shan’s response, Xu Shaochen threw the chips in his hand onto the ground and looked at Chen Zihao: “I won a lot from you just now. For every million, you owe me a kowtow. Let’s begin.”

“Dad…”

Chen Zihao looked at his father for help.

Chen Shan took a deep breath and said, “Young Master Xu, after this, will my son even have his life?”

“Heh, that’s what he asked me to do just now,” Xu Shaochen replied with a coldly amused smile.

Chen Shan wished he could strangle his ungrateful son. This was clearly a case of lifting a stone only to drop it on his own feet.

“Young Master Xu, how about we all take a step back? A kowtow for ten million. How does that sound?” Ma Di stepped in to mediate.

Chen Shan also looked at Xu Shaochen. Ten million per kowtow… At most, it would be a few dozen kowtows, but at least his head would remain intact.

One million per kowtow… After all those, he might end up with a concussion.

“What are you standing there for? Start kowtowing.”

Chen Shan kicked Chen Zihao.

Although Chen Zihao was unwilling, he had no choice. He could only bury his resentment in his heart and begin kowtowing to Xu Shaochen.

Liu Chao and Tan Ling stood off to the side, dumbfounded as they watched this scene.

They realized one thing: Xu Shaochen wasn’t just any ordinary powerhouse; he was something extraordinary.

The stronger Xu Shaochen appeared, the more Tan Ling regretted it deeply. She realized she missed a chance to help her family out of their difficulties and an opportunity to curry favor with someone powerful.

“Keep kowtowing. I have some business to attend to. I’ll be leaving first.”

Xu Shaochen smiled calmly, then reached out to playfully stroke An Miaozhu’s palm. The two of them then left together.

Everyone pretended not to notice this scene.

After all, some things are better left unseen and unheard, lest they bring trouble down on oneself.

For instance, many of the people on this ship were public figures. If news of their gambling got out, it would inevitably damage their reputations.

Why weren’t they worried about this? Because everyone on this ship understood the rules: Certain things couldn’t be spoken of casually.

And those who couldn’t keep their mouths shut usually weren’t qualified to set foot on this ship.

“What should we do?”

Watching Xu Shaochen and An Miaozhu head upstairs, Tan Ling and Liu Chao were at a loss.

Mei Liangxin patted Liu Chao on the shoulder, saying, “What else can you do? Just wait until he’s done, of course.”

Upon hearing this, the two of them couldn’t help but twitch their mouths. What a perfect example of ‘wait until he’s done.’

Upstairs, in a luxurious suite.

Xu Shaochen held An Miaozhu as they fell onto the sofa, and soon they were intimately entangled once more, battling fervently.

This battle was like Zhao Zilong’s legendary seven entrances and seven exits at Changban, exhausting the entirety of Changban.

More than half an hour later, everything settled down. The only sound left in the room was An Miaozhu’s heavy breathing.

“Do you have a girlfriend?”

An Miaozhu asked breathily as she lay in his arms.

Xu Shaochen smiled, “Of course. Someone like me, without a girlfriend? Isn’t that strange?”

“True. But your girlfriend is very lucky.” An Miaozhu felt a bit jealous. It wasn’t until today that she realized the vast difference between men.

After thinking for a moment, An Miaozhu asked, “How about we exchange phone numbers?”

She wanted to maintain a long-term casual relationship.

“I didn’t bring my phone.” Xu Shaochen’s refusal was blunt. He was only interested in An Miaozhu physically, nothing more.

An Miaozhu pouted and didn’t say anything else. After all, it was already pretty shameful of her to be so forward.

If she begged Xu Shaochen to leave a contact method, it would be no different from begging Zhang San for it.

“Let’s go for round two.”

Tonight, An Miaozhu wanted to make the most of it. After all, once this opportunity passed, it might not come again.

In a blink, the room became a battlefield once more.

The second round was even fiercer. Xu Shaochen emerged from the room an hour later, leaving An Miaozhu utterly exhausted.

Seeing Xu Shaochen come down,

Mei Liangxin and Liu Chao couldn’t help but swallow hard.

An hour and a half… Was he even human?

Liu Chao and Mei Liangxin exchanged looks and instinctively took a step back. Why did they suddenly feel a bit inadequate?

Tan Ling was also in disbelief. He wanted to ask Liu Chao, “Didn’t you say all men finish the job in under ten minutes? You bastard, you tricked me into believing your nonsense, thinking I was too naive.”

With that thought, Tan Ling gave Liu Chao a hard glare.

Liu Chao coughed twice and whispered, “Maybe, just maybe, they were playing video games in the room.”

“Buddy, stop deceiving yourself. You have to face reality.” Mei Liangxin patted him on the shoulder.

“Why are you all sitting around here? Aren’t you going to join the fun?”

Xu Shaochen looked at the three of them and said. He had just relaxed a bit and was now in an excellent mood, making even Tan Ling seem much more agreeable.

Liu Chao noticed that Xu Shaochen seemed in a good mood and silently thanked An Miaozhu. He quickly seized the opportunity and said, “Shaochen, I want to ask for your help.”

“It’s really your girlfriend who wants my help, isn’t it?” Xu Shaochen said flatly.

“Uh… same thing.” Liu Chao was slightly embarrassed.

Tan Ling felt even more awkward. After all, she had treated Xu Shaochen poorly before, and now she had to ask him for a favor. She felt like she wanted to disappear.

But she had no one else to turn to besides Xu Shaochen.

With that thought, Tan Ling gritted her teeth, stood up, and looked at Xu Shaochen: “Young Master Xu, I failed to recognize your significance before and said some harsh words. I’d like to apologize to you right here.”
