Chapter 592: This is Xu Shaochen, Mr. Xu
by xennovelUpon hearing this voice.
Chen Sheng’s face instantly darkened.
Xu Shaochen and Sun Hai exchanged glances, not understanding what was going on.
“Tap, tap, tap…”
Accompanied by somewhat chaotic footsteps, a tall, well-featured woman in her thirties walked in with a young man in his twenties.
“Zhao Yan, there’s nothing between us anymore. Shouldn’t you be with your new lover? What do you want from me now?”
Chen Sheng looked at the woman coldly and spoke.
“Mr. Chen, that’s not fair. No matter what, Sister Yan is still your ex-wife, and this house belongs to her family. Why can’t she come?”
The young man beside the woman put his arm around her and replied to Chen Sheng with a mocking tone.
“Zhang Xuan, who do you think you are? Just a freeloader living off women, what gives you the right to talk to me like that!”
Chen Sheng shouted angrily at the young man.
Zhang Xuan gave a sneer and said, “Yes, I am that freeloader, but what does that make you, someone who can’t even take care of his own wife?”
“You…” Chen Sheng was so furious that his face alternated between pale and flushed.
Xu Shaochen and Sun Hai exchanged another glance, realizing they just learned the truth.
Chen Sheng’s wife had cheated on him, and the man she cheated with was this arrogant Zhang Xuan.
No wonder Chen Sheng wanted to emigrate; he was heartbroken and didn’t want to stay in the country any longer.
“Chen Sheng, I know you want to sell the house. Let me tell you, part of this house belongs to me. You’re not allowed to sell it!”
Zhao Yan glanced at Xu Shaochen and Sun Hai before looking confidently at Chen Sheng and saying.
Chen Sheng almost laughed in anger, “Zhao Yan, do you have any shame? We divided our assets cleanly when we divorced. Now you want to fight for the house? You’re an educated woman; surely you’re above something like this. Or did that pretty boy you’re with egg you on?”
“Chen Sheng, stop calling him a pretty boy all the time, or I’ll sue you for defamation. I’m just helping Sister Yan get what’s rightfully hers. What’s wrong with that?”
Zhang Xuan replied with a playful look.
“Both of you, forgive me for interrupting, but I just signed the contract with Mr. Chen. The house now belongs to me. You aren’t welcome here. Please leave immediately.”
Xu Shaochen couldn’t take it any longer. He stepped forward, holding up the contract in his hand, and spoke coolly to the couple.
“Who do you think you are! I don’t care about any contract. All I know is that this is my house. How dare you try to kick me out?”
Zhao Yan shrieked at Xu Shaochen, her voice sharp like an enraged shrew.
“You’re asking for it now.”
Xu Shaochen’s face turned cold, and he gazed menacingly at the couple.
Zhang Xuan sneered and said dismissively, “What, are you going to hit me? Go ahead, hit me. See if you can get away with it.”
“Alright, since you insist, I wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t hit you.”
As soon as Xu Shaochen finished speaking, he grabbed a small porcelain teapot from the coffee table and threw it at Zhang Xuan.
“Bang!”
The teapot smashed against Zhang Xuan’s head, shattering instantly. Hot tea drenched his face as blood mixed with the tea started to drip down.
“Aaaah!”
Zhang Xuan screamed in pain, instinctively covering his face with his hands.
“Ah Xuan, are you okay, darling? Ah Xuan.”
Seeing this, Zhao Yan anxiously rushed forward, her eyes filled with concern and worry.
“Damn it, I’m going to kill you!”
Zhang Xuan cursed angrily as he charged at Xu Shaochen.
“Bang!”
Before he could get close, Xu Shaochen lifted his leg and kicked Zhang Xuan to the ground. If Long Yi and the others weren’t outside the manor, Xu Shaochen wouldn’t have needed to take action himself.
“Ah!”
Zhang Xuan clutched his stomach, writhing in agony on the floor as if his internal organs had been displaced.
“Get out of my house immediately. Learn to understand that this is my property now. Got it?”
Xu Shaochen looked down at Zhang Xuan as if he was looking at a dead dog.
“I’m calling the police. I’ll have you arrested, and I’ll sue you! I’ll make sure you rot in jail!”
Zhao Yan screamed furiously at Xu Shaochen while pulling out her phone to call the police.
“Slap!”
Chen Sheng quickly stepped forward and slapped Zhao Yan across the face, gritting his teeth. “Are you insane? Do you realize who this is? This is Xu Shaochen, Mr. Xu! Are you trying to get us all killed?”
Despite Zhao Yan’s betrayal, it was clear Chen Sheng still had feelings for her; otherwise, he wouldn’t have stopped her from doing something so reckless.
If Zhao Yan had made that call, things would have taken a far more dangerous turn.
“So what if it’s Xu Shaochen? I don’t care who Shaochen is… Xu… Xu…”
Zhao Yan started out furious but suddenly seemed to realize something. Her face turned pale with fear as she looked at Xu Shaochen with apprehension.
As Chen Sheng’s former wife, Zhao Yan clearly wasn’t unfamiliar with the name Xu Shaochen.
In Jiangzhou, the name Xu Shaochen symbolized absolute authority.
Zhang Xuan, who was still lying on the floor, also turned pale as all the venom in his gaze vanished, replaced by terror and fear.
Having lived off wealthy women, Zhang Xuan had slowly learned who Xu Shaochen was through their conversations.
Now that he realized the man he had provoked was Xu Shaochen, he nearly fainted in fear.
“Mr… Mr. Xu, I was wrong. Please, I beg you, forgive me! I didn’t recognize you. I didn’t know you were the one who bought the house. Please, have mercy and pretend I’m just a bystander! It’s all her fault, yes, it’s all Zhao Yan’s fault! She dragged me into this!”
Zhang Xuan crawled over to Xu Shaochen, sniveling and sobbing, desperately begging for mercy. He didn’t hesitate to pin all the blame on Zhao Yan.
“Ah Xuan, how could you?”
Zhao Yan stared at Zhang Xuan in shock, her eyes wide in disbelief.
“Shut up, you wretch! It’s all your fault! What’s wrong with me? Did you really think I would like an old hag like you? You’re only good because you’re rich! What else makes you think you deserve me?”
Zhang Xuan was now completely panicking. He had lost his mind and was no longer hiding his disgust for Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan stood frozen, unable to say a word for a long time.
“Bang!”
Xu Shaochen kicked Zhang Xuan aside with disdain, saying, “Relying on women to get by and then blaming them for everything—you’re really the lowest of the low.”
“Yes, I’m the lowest. Mr. Xu, whatever you say I am, that’s what I am.”
Zhang Xuan quickly crawled back over to Xu Shaochen, his face full of flattery.
