Chapter 60: Do You Even Deserve This?
by xennovel“What’s going on here! Who gave you permission to cause trouble? Do you all have a death wish?!”
As soon as the red-haired man finished speaking, a steady male voice suddenly echoed.
A path quickly opened up as Fu Hua approached with a grim expression.
“It’s Boss Fu.”
Li Min and the other three women brightened up when they saw Fu Hua. They were frequent visitors to One Way Street, so of course, they recognized this wealthy and handsome boss.
“Hmph, you’re lucky today. If Boss Fu hadn’t come, you’d be dead by now!” Zhang Ling looked at Xu Shaochen with a sarcastic tone, eyes full of disdain.
But when Fu Hua saw Xu Shaochen, his expression changed, and he instinctively quickened his pace.
“Boss Fu…” The red-haired man, thinking Fu Hua was approaching him, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
However, Fu Hua bypassed him completely and walked quickly to Xu Shaochen with a smile on his face. “Xu Ge, why didn’t you give me a call when you arrived? I would’ve come to drink with you personally!”
Wow! The crowd around was in an uproar. Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief, staring at Xu Shaochen.
Zhang Ling and the other three women were also shocked. Fu Hua actually greeted Xu Shaochen first, and his attitude was so humble.
The red-haired man behind them looked at Xu Shaochen with a face of uncertainty.
“It’s him! It’s Young Master Xu!”
Suddenly, someone in the crowd, who had been present that night, recognized Xu Shaochen and gasped.
“Damn, so this is the legendary Young Master Xu, the one who spent 500,000 yuan in a single night!”
“It’s really him! The red-haired guy is doomed. He really kicked a steel plate this time.”
“Yeah, even Boss Fu’s friends didn’t have a good ending last time. This red-haired guy is really asking for death, provoking Young Master Xu.”
Everyone was buzzing with discussion. Xu Shaochen had already become a legend at One Way Street, being the first person ever to pay for everyone’s drinks, and spending over 500,000 yuan in a single night.
“You’re Young Master Xu!”
Zhang Ling and the other three women stared at Xu Shaochen in shock, their faces alternating between pale and flush. They felt as though their faces were burning in embarrassment.
Of course, they had heard the rumors before, but never in a million years did they think Xu Shaochen was that Young Master Xu.
And to think, just moments ago, they had been mocking and humiliating Xu Shaochen.
Realizing this, their hearts were filled with regret and fear.
Regret because they had missed the chance to flatter Xu Shaochen.
Fear because they worried Xu Shaochen would seek revenge on them. After all, it would be as easy as crushing an ant for him.
Reflecting on their earlier actions, they realized how utterly foolish they had been.
Meanwhile, the red-haired man was terrified out of his mind, hoping to slip away while Xu Shaochen wasn’t paying attention.
“Try taking a single step.”
Just as he turned and lifted one foot, Xu Shaochen’s calm voice reached his ears.
The red-haired man’s body instantly froze. He dared not put his foot down, and eagerly took it back, pallor overwhelming his face as he looked at Xu Shaochen. “Xu… Xu Shao, it’s a misunderstanding. I’m blind and didn’t realize who you were. Please, I beg for your forgiveness!”
Smack!
Fu Hua stepped forward and slapped the red-haired man across the face, gritting his teeth as he said, “How dare you offend Xu Ge! Are you tired of living?!”
“Boss Fu, help me, please help me! I’ve been a regular here, please help me! I really know I’ve done wrong.”
The red-haired man dropped down to his knees with a thud, clutching Fu Hua’s legs, sobbing uncontrollably.
Bang!
Fu Hua kicked him away, coldly stating, “Why are you begging me? You’re asking the wrong person.”
“Xu Shao, please spare me! Xu Shao, please spare me!” The red-haired man scrambled to Xu Shaochen’s feet as quickly as possible.
Xu Shaochen looked down at the red-haired man indifferently and said, “From here, frog jump all the way to the door, and then you can get lost.”
“Yes, yes, thank you, Xu Shao, thank you, Xu Shao.”
The red-haired man was overjoyed. Although it was embarrassing, at this point, who cared about dignity?
Next, everyone watched as the red-haired man led seven other tattooed thugs in a frog jump out of the bar.
“Xu Ge, no matter what, tonight’s expenses are on me!”
Fu Hua patted his chest, speaking seriously as he looked at Xu Shaochen.
“Alright then, we’re just about done here. Another day, I’ll invite you out for a drink.”
Xu Shaochen smiled at Fu Hua. If someone respected him an inch, he would return a foot.
“Thank you, Xu Ge. You’re a busy man. I won’t keep you if you’re leaving. Please.”
Fu Hua smiled, stepping aside to make way, knowing that his relationship with Xu Shaochen had just gotten much closer.
“Let’s go, boys.”
Xu Shaochen said to Zhou Fan and the others, then started walking toward the exit.
“Xu… Shaochen, wait for us!”
Zhang Ling and the other three women hesitated for a moment and then hurriedly chased after him.
“Boss.”
At the entrance of the bar.
When they saw Xu Shaochen come out, Long San and Long Si quickly greeted him. Long San even ran ahead to open the car door.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling and her friends were once again stunned. Their gazes toward Xu Shaochen became even more starstruck.
“Shaochen, I’m sorry about earlier. I’m just a girl with a small heart—I got scared. You won’t hold it against me, right?”
“Yeah, Shaochen, we were really worried about you just now. We just didn’t know how to show it.”
“Right, right! You won’t be mad at us, will you?”
The other three women also gathered around Xu Shaochen, their faces filled with flattery, each of them acting coy and sweet.
Zhou Fan, Liu Chao, and Li Qi watched coldly, their eyes full of contempt for Zhang Ling and her friends.
Heh.
Xu Shaochen chuckled softly, halting his steps and reaching out to pinch Zhang Ling’s chin. “Why would I stoop to the level of someone like you? After all, do you even deserve to be in my league? Do you?”
With those words, Xu Shaochen’s expression darkened, and without looking back, he got into the car. Zhou Fan and the others followed closely behind.
Zhang Ling and her friends were left standing there, their faces pale and stiff, as if Xu Shaochen’s words had slapped them hard across the face.
“Zhang Ling, weren’t you the one who said he was just a worthless loser who drank your leftovers? This is the loser you were talking about? You’ve ruined us!”
Li Min glared at Zhang Ling unhappily, venting her anger.
“Yeah, if it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be in such an embarrassing situation right now.”
“That’s right…”
The other two quickly chimed in.
“Now you’re blaming me? Weren’t you the ones who kept calling him a poor loser just a moment ago?” Zhang Ling snapped back at the three women.
“If it hadn’t been for you…”
The four women began quarreling at the entrance of the bar, drawing the attention of passersby.
