Chapter 586: Aren’t You Going to Call Him Uncle Xu?
by xennovel“Did you see that? There are plenty of men who want us. If you don’t cherish us, we’ll kick you to the curb.”
Mei Liangying waved her delicate fist at Xu Shaochen, threateningly.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let any other man take over. You mischievous little vixens, just stay and be my problem alone.”
Xu Shaochen pulled her into his arms and planted a kiss on her cheek.
“Get lost, there are so many people around.”
Mei Liangying blushed and pushed Xu Shaochen away shyly.
Long Yi and Long Er carried a mountain of items, following closely behind, watching Xu Shaochen flaunt his affection.
Both of them felt a million horses gallop through their minds.
Why? Why can’t they enjoy the boss’s happiness but instead have to endure his misery?
“Ugh, I hate rich people,” Long Yi cursed, then added, “I also hope one day I become someone I hate.”
“Enough of that. You only see how rich the boss is, but you haven’t seen what he lost to get there.”
Long Er offered some earnest advice.
Long Yi paused and asked, “What did he lose?”
“Since becoming rich, the boss lost all his worries.”
Long Yi: “………”
“Let’s not mince words here. If we weren’t comrades-in-arms, I’d want to twist your head off and use it for a soccer ball.”
Reality is already cruel enough. Why do you have to stab me in the heart too?
After a Herculean effort, Xu Shaochen finally managed to please all nine women.
Naturally, Long Yi and Long Er were exhausted like dogs, even carrying shopping bags in their mouths.
After sending the women off, both Xu Shaochen and the two felt relieved.
They swore they’d rather take an AK to the battlefield than accompany women shopping under the blazing sun.
“Thanks for your hard work today,”
Xu Shaochen unbuttoned his collar to cool off and sincerely looked at Long Yi and Long Er.
“No trouble at all. It’s what we should do.”
Long Yi and Long Er immediately perked up and responded loudly.
“Never mind then, I was going to give you two days off.” Xu Shaochen waved his hand dismissively.
Long Yi: “………”
Long Er: “………”
This guy definitely did it on purpose. They’ve never seen a day off since starting this job.
………
Night. 9 PM.
Xu Shaochen arrived at the Jiangzhou Grand Hotel for his appointment.
Sun Hai had invited him here for dinner.
“Is that you?”
Just as he walked into the hotel, a surprised voice reached his ears.
Xu Shaochen turned his head, and lo and behold, it was the young man who had been chasing after Mei Liangying with flowers in the morning!
“What a coincidence, huh? Let’s get to know each other. I’m Xu Shaochen.”
Xu Shaochen smiled and extended a hand.
Mei Liangying had mentioned that although this guy pursued her, he had never crossed the line and always respected her.
So Xu Shaochen didn’t have any particular dislike for him.
“Sun Shang.”
The young man reluctantly shook Xu Shaochen’s hand and gritted his teeth, saying, “Don’t get too cocky. If you don’t treat Miss Mei well, I won’t give up on her.”
“She’s pregnant. With my child.” Xu Shaochen replied calmly, dropping a bombshell.
Though Mei Liangying wasn’t pregnant yet, it was only a matter of time.
Sun Shang was momentarily stunned but then gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t care. If you don’t treat her well, I’ll still pursue her. At worst, I’ll raise your kid too.”
“You’re ruthless.” Xu Shaochen was silent for a while and then gave him a thumbs-up.
Sun Shang snorted coldly and didn’t say another word.
Xu Shaochen stated, “Alright, kid, give it up. You’re not destined to take over. I treat her like she’s a treasure; how could I not be good to her?”
“Then you can get lost.”
With Xu Shaochen shattering his last hope, Sun Shang left a final remark and turned to walk toward the restroom.
Xu Shaochen shook his head as he watched him walk away. This guy was truly infatuated.
But you can’t be infatuated with my woman. That’s absolutely forbidden.
Xu Shaochen stepped into the elevator, arriving at the private room Sun Hai had reserved.
He opened the door and found three people sitting inside.
Sun Hai, a man who resembled him slightly and was likely the elder brother mentioned earlier on the phone.
And another man in his thirties wearing a silver suit, with a warm smile that made people feel at ease.
While sizing up the people in the room, Xu Shaochen wore an apologetic smile and said, “Sorry, Chairman Sun, for holding up you and your friends. There was some traffic, and I got delayed. Thank you for waiting.”
“Traffic at this hour is normal. Come on, Big Brother and Brother Chen, let me introduce you to…”
Sun Hai stood up with a smile, ready to make mutual introductions.
“Young Master of Xu Corporation, right? Your name is well-known; no need for introduction.”
Sun Hai’s older brother stood up, interrupting the rest of Sun Hai’s words, and extended a hand toward Xu Shaochen. “Mr. Xu, my name is Sun Jiang. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Truly a young hero. I run a small business myself. I hope we can work together frequently in the future.”
“Oh, you flatter me, Chairman Sun. It’s all thanks to everyone’s support.” Xu Shaochen humbly shook his hand and then looked at the ‘Brother Chen’. “And you are…?”
“My surname is Chen. Call me Chen Ju.” Chen Ju only introduced himself by name, without mentioning his profession.
After a round of introductions, the four of them took their seats.
As the host, Sun Hai naturally sat at the head of the table.
“Let’s all raise a glass and toast to our newfound connections.”
The first toast was proposed by Sun Hai, and everyone followed suit, downing their drinks in one go.
“Click —”
At that moment, the door to the private room opened, and someone walked in.
Xu Shaochen was momentarily stunned because the person who entered was none other than Sun Shang.
“What are you doing here?”
Sun Shang was equally stunned upon seeing Xu Shaochen, clearly surprised.
“Shang’er, don’t be rude. This man is your Uncle Xu from now on. Hurry and greet him.”
Sun Jiang scolded and then, turning to Xu Shaochen, said, “Mr. Xu, this is my son, Sun Shang. He’s been spoiled by his mother, so please forgive any disrespect.”
“Uncle? Dad, he looks about the same age as me, and you want me to call him uncle?”
Sun Shang’s eyes widened, feeling as disgusted as if he’d swallowed a fly at the thought of calling Xu Shaochen ‘Uncle’.
“Hey, Brother Sun, no need for that. We’re all young, just let him call me by name.”
Though Xu Shaochen was secretly pleased, he feigned a troubled look.
“Damn it, don’t you ever think about hitting on my girlfriend again.”
From now on, she’ll be your aunt! Got that?”
