Chapter 585: You Have Ten Girlfriends

Quickly.

Xu Shaochen regretted it.

He knew he shouldn’t have spoken up, let alone come along.

In just half an hour, his hands and neck were already weighed down with various shopping bags.

“Shaochen, can you manage? If not, we can carry them ourselves.”

Song Xinran looked at Xu Shaochen with a schadenfreude smile.

“Manage? Of course, I can manage.”

Xu Shaochen gritted his teeth. How could a man admit that he couldn’t?

And, Sister Xinran, you’ve changed too. You used to care about me the most, but now you’re joining them in picking on me.

Indeed, all women are unpredictable.

Behind him, Long Yi and Long Er were following unhurriedly.

“What do you think, is the boss suffering or actually enjoying himself?”

Long Er asked.

Long Yi thought for a moment, then said, “This must be that saying, ‘pain mixed with joy.’ It’s painful now, but he’ll be happy tonight.”

“That’s true. He has nine girlfriends, and we don’t even have one. The world is really unfair.” Long Er sighed despondently. He was starting to feel envy toward the rich.

Long Yi shook his head, “Why do you think that way? You have ten girlfriends, one more than the boss.”

“Ten? When did I get ten?” Long Er was momentarily stunned, unable to react.

Long Yi waved both his hands in front of Long Er’s face.

“Get lost!”

Long Er immediately understood; his ten girlfriends were already rough from use.

“Ladies, buying something? There’s a pretty good milk tea shop ahead. How about I treat you to a cup?”

Suddenly, five young men blocked Song Xinran and the others, pointing to a milk tea shop not far away with a big smile.

Damn, what a jackpot! And there’s nine of them right off the bat.

Even with one each, we’d still have four left over.

“We’d love to go for milk tea, but our boyfriends might not agree.”

Xie Wei looked at the five of them with a mischievous smile.

“A fair maiden is what every man desires. Boyfriend isn’t the same as husband, so we still have a chance.”

The five looked at each other, exchanging a glance.

“In that case, why don’t you talk to our boyfriend yourself? Look, he’s right behind us.”

As Xie Wei spoke, she pointed at Xu Shaochen.

The five of them frowned, “Just one guy?”

“Yes, we’re all his girlfriends. Is that a problem?” Xie Wei countered matter-of-factly.

“Damn it!”

The five of them cursed simultaneously, staring at Xu Shaochen in shock, as if they had seen a ghost.

Just the thought that such a diverse group of nine beauties belonged to Xu Shaochen was enough to make their eyes turn red with jealousy.

Are you even human? Having one such beauty would be incredible, and you’ve got nine all to yourself!

No wonder more people have been single in recent years; it’s the fault of scum like you hoarding society’s resources.

Chances are, some of these nine beauties were meant to be ours, but now you’ve taken them away.

With that thought in mind, the five swaggered toward Xu Shaochen.

“Weiwei, will it be okay? We could just ignore them, no need to cause trouble for Shaochen.”

Song Xinran frowned worriedly. Growing up with Xu Shaochen since childhood, her first thought was to worry about him.

“Sister Xinran, don’t worry. Shaochen is really good at fighting. Besides, the two big bodyguards behind him aren’t just for show.”

Xie Wei, clutching Song Xinran’s arm, explained.

Du Ruyan also nodded in agreement, “That’s right, Sister Xinran. Big Brother Shaochen is very strong. And those five guys don’t look like good people anyway; they deserve a lesson.”

“My friend, dating requires commitment. The way you’re playing with their feelings, it’s too much.

Break up with them.”

The five stopped in front of Xu Shaochen, immediately taking the moral high ground to condemn him.

“So, what’s your point?”

Xu Shaochen placed the bags he was carrying on the ground and looked at the five men calmly.

The five were taken aback, never expecting Xu Shaochen to stay so calm despite their preachy accusations. He really lived up to being a man treading on nine boats.

“So, we thought we’d help you share the burden. We’ll take the ladies for some milk tea, no problem, right?”

One of the young men, who sported red hair, spoke in a carefree tone, lighting a cigarette as he talked.

“And what if I have a problem with that?” Xu Shaochen asked.

The young man with an earring sneered, “It doesn’t matter if you have a problem. Your opinion doesn’t count. We’re just here to inform you, not to discuss. Got it?”

“Well, in that case, I’m relieved.”

Xu Shaochen smiled and nodded. In the next moment, he raised his hand and slapped the young man hard.

“Smack!”

“Ah!”

The young man with the earring screamed, the cigarette flew out of his mouth, and his face started swelling visibly.

“You son of a b*tch, how dare you hit me? Kill him!”

The other four were momentarily stunned by the scene. Then they flew into a rage, cursing as they rushed at Xu Shaochen.

The young man who got slapped also followed closely, charging forward.

Xu Shaochen didn’t move an inch. He shook his wrist and calmly pulled out a panda cigarette, lighting it leisurely. He watched the five delinquents mockingly.

Long Yi and Long Er, like two raging bulls, charged at the five delinquents, pummeling them.

“Ah! Stop hitting us! Call the police, help us call the police!”

“Ah! My leg…”

The five, who had been so aggressive moments ago, were now lying on the ground, hands over their heads, screaming in pain.

“That’s enough. Stop now.”

After hitting them for a good five or six minutes, Xu Shaochen told Long Yi and Long Er to stop.

“How dare you have ideas about my women. You’ve got some nerve.”

Xu Shaochen looked down at the five idiots on the ground.

“You son of a b*tch, if you’ve got guts, fight us one-on-one!”

Red-haired young man was still unwilling to give up, gritting his teeth as he yelled at Xu Shaochen.

“Pfft—”

Xu Shaochen couldn’t help but laugh at that. He flicked his half-smoked cigarette at Red-haired’s body and pointed at his own clothes. With a serene tone, he said, “Recognize this? Know how much it costs? Let me tell you, seventy-five thousand.”

“What are you even worth? I wear a suit; fighting you would lower my value. Simply put, you’re not worthy. Understand?”

“If you don’t get it now, don’t worry; you’ll understand when you’re older. Now go find yourselves a proper job.”

With that, Xu Shaochen stopped paying attention to them and walked back toward Liu Rushuang and the others without looking back.

“Long Yi, Long Er, carry the bags for me.”

The five young men lying on the ground watched Xu Shaochen’s back, their faces turning alternately pale with anger and humiliation.

They had once thought that their dyed hair, earrings, and cockiness made them look cool and powerful.

But today, with just a few words, Xu Shaochen shattered their pride into pieces.

After all, they were just a bunch of low-level thugs.
