Chapter 533: A Look Filled with Fatherly Love

“Are there many people asking your dad for favors?”

Xu Shaochen asked with feigned curiosity, starting to dig a pit.

Ye Tian smiled smugly: “Of course! Even Lin Changguan has sat in your position before.”

“Not surprising, Mr. Ye is quite something after all,” Xu Shaochen nodded, acknowledging Ye Zhaoyun’s prowess, but thinking to himself, ‘You’re just an idiot though.’

Ignoring the other’s identity and still acting so arrogantly—one day, you’ll kick a metal plate and end up breaking your bones.

Ye Tian glanced at Xu Shaochen and said coldly, “Since you know that, why are you just standing there? Don’t you know any manners?”

“What manners?” Xu Shaochen smiled playfully.

Ye Tian raised an eyebrow, impatiently saying, “Young and inexperienced, huh? You don’t understand? Benefits! You give me benefits, and I’ll ask my dad to help you.”

He’s received benefits from others in the past but has never asked so bluntly.

It was just that, seeing Xu Shaochen was around his age, he looked down on him and started acting high and mighty.

“Sorry, I don’t have any.” Xu Shaochen shook his head. He finally understood why Ye Zhaoyun was so angry with this unfilial son of his.

Because he really is unfilial.

Doesn’t he know that by doing this, he’s screwing over his own dad?

“Nothing? Don’t you know how to behave? Fine, get lost then. No matter what you want my dad to help with, I’m telling you now, it’s impossible.”

Ye Tian’s face turned cold as he looked at Xu Shaochen and spoke icily.

Xu Shaochen chuckled. “Do you know? Just based on what you said earlier, I can make your dad get kicked out of Hong Kong.”

“Laughable! Who do you think you are? Look in the mirror before threatening me. You think you’re worthy?”

Ye Tian, upon hearing this, laughed like he heard a great joke, glaring at Xu Shaochen with undisguised mockery and disdain.

This was the first time he had met someone like this.

So brazenly threatening him, saying he’d get his father kicked out of Hong Kong—it was the funniest thing he’d heard all year.

Facing Ye Tian’s ridicule, Xu Shaochen remained calm and unhurried, saying lightly, “Your dad wouldn’t even dare talk to me like that. You, his son, really are something else.”

“Not very old, but you sure have a big mouth, filled with arrogance. You want my dad’s help without offering a gift? Get lost! If you keep this up, I’ll make sure you can’t stay in Hong Kong!”

Ye Tian’s face grew completely dark, his gaze toward Xu Shaochen now carrying a chill.

In Hong Kong, wherever he went, people flattered him, showering him with praise.

But now, Xu Shaochen dared to threaten him—he surely didn’t know his own limits.

“Outrageous!”

After finishing his phone call, Ye Zhaoyun walked into the living room just in time to hear these words, his face cold as a brisk October day.

“Dad…” Ye Tian was startled upon seeing Ye Zhaoyun.

“Slap!”

Without a word, Ye Zhaoyun stepped forward and delivered a hard slap across Ye Tian’s face.

“Ah!”

Ye Tian screamed, the slap splitting his lip, blood seeping out.

Xu Shaochen watched Ye Zhaoyun with a smile. “Mr. Ye, your son certainly has quite a temper and attitude.”

“Chairman Xu, it’s my son’s ignorance that led him to say such inappropriate things. I hope Chairman Xu won’t take it to heart.”

Ye Zhaoyun was drenched in cold sweat, and after speaking, he kicked Ye Tian again: “You useless thing! Kneel down and apologize to Chairman Xu immediately!”

Previously, he could at least barely assume an equal standing when talking to Xu Shaochen.

But now, in front of Xu Shaochen, he was trembling with fear.

In his heart, he wanted to kill Ye Tian—this unfilial son. All he does is blabber, talking about everything openly.

And he had to do it in front of Xu Shaochen!

Even without concrete evidence, with Xu Shaochen’s power, if he really wanted to bring him down, he could find evidence.

So now, he was in a complete panic.

Beside him, Ye Tian also turned pale as he realized he had kicked a metal plate.

He had never seen his father lower himself so much in front of anyone before.

Thinking about the things he had just said, his heart was filled with panic and fear.

“Thud.”

Without another word, his legs went weak, and he fell to his knees in front of Xu Shaochen, swallowing hard. “Ch… Chairman Xu, I’m sorry; I was blind and ignorant earlier. I said the wrong things. Please, Chairman Xu, don’t stoop to my level.”

Xu Shaochen ignored him and looked at Ye Zhaoyun, saying calmly, “Mr. Ye, a piece of advice: if you don’t discipline your son, hehe… This might be the last time we share morning tea in Hong Kong.”

“Thank you for the advice, Chairman Xu. Rest assured, I will definitely educate this unfilial son.” Ye Zhaoyun breathed a long sigh of relief—thankful that Xu Shaochen didn’t decide to hold on and continue pursuing the matter.

“Heh…”

Xu Shaochen glanced at Ye Tian, smiling as though he were looking at a fool. Then he stood up and said to Ye Zhaoyun, “Mr. Ye, you might need to have a heart-to-heart with your beloved son. I wouldn’t want to be in the way.”

“I’ll see you off, Chairman Xu,” Ye Zhaoyun said hurriedly.

“No need.”

With those words, Xu Shaochen strode out of the living room.

After Xu Shaochen left, Ye Zhaoyun realized his back was drenched in sweat. His gaze fell on the kneeling Ye Tian.

“D-Dad… Dad, w-what are you going to do?”

Feeling the gaze filled with a murderous (fatherly) intent, the kneeling Ye Tian trembled all over, his speech stuttering.

“What do you think? Of course, I’ll be teaching this unfilial son a proper lesson, so he can remember this day. You won’t learn unless you’re beaten.”

Ye Zhaoyun gritted his teeth, pulling off his belt and lashing it across Ye Tian.

“Ah! Dad, Dad, I was wrong! Please stop!”

“Slap!”

“Ahh! It hurts! Dad, I really won’t dare do it again; please stop… Please don’t hit me anymore…”

Not far away, Xu Shaochen overheard the wails behind him, as if he were listening to a beautiful melody, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

Leaving the Ye family, Xu Shaochen called to ask Lin Kai’s location and then went to find him.

“Xu Ge, this is my girlfriend, Shanshan.”

Seeing Xu Shaochen come in, Lin Kai immediately introduced the tall and pretty woman beside him.

“Hello, Young Master Xu.” Shanshan greeted Xu Shaochen respectfully.

Xu Shaochen glanced at her, nodding in acknowledgment, then turned to Lin Kai, “You’ve told her everything, right?”
