Chapter 690: Racing Down the Road to Self-Destruction

Wang Ao and Zhao Li’s faces were uncertain. They were both angry and frightened but dared not show it.

“You worthless trash! By the end of the day, get that little brat from the hospital and roll out of Jiangzhou!”

“Otherwise, in honor of Xiaoxian, I’ll personally select a nice grave for your whole family.”

“Got it?”

Xu Shaochen stood up from the sofa, poked Wang Ao’s chest, and stared at him with arrogance, his eyes full of disdain.

“Y-Yeah… I understand.”

Wang Ao’s throat felt dry as he stammered, licking his lips nervously.

After so many years, this was the first time he had experienced such humiliation, and he had no choice but to tolerate it.

The burning sCar from the cigar on his face continued to sting, as if constantly reminding him of his recent disgrace.

“Get out!”

Xu Shaochen coldly spat out the word.

Wang Ao and Zhao Li exchanged glances, then shuffled out of the living room with their tails between their legs.

“Looks like I don’t need to dirty my hands after all.”

Watching Wang Ao and Zhao Li come out, Liu Jun, who was smoking in the yard, leaned on his crutch and sneered.

Under the warm sunlight, his smile seemed disturbingly sinister.

Wang Ao and Zhao Li felt a chill down their spines and unconsciously quickened their steps.

“Is that it? Is it over?”

After leaving the villa area, Zhao Li asked, still unwilling to accept the outcome.

Wang Ao coldly replied, “If it’s not over, then what else would you do? Take revenge?”

“I…” Zhao Li was at a loss for words but gritted her teeth and said, “So, we’re just going to slink back like cowards?”

“Of course not!” Wang Ao’s tone deepened. “We’re talking about a much bigger opportunity here than the Chen Family! If we let this chance slip by, our Wang Family will never rise.”

“What else can we do? Didn’t you hear what he said? We’re supposed to leave Jiangzhou immediately.”

Seeing Wang Ao like this, Zhao Li, who still felt a little resentful, started feeling uneasy.

“Hmph! Women really have no foresight.” Wang Ao snorted coldly, confidence overflowing. “Sure, he may be biased against us, but that’s his problem. If you can win over your daughter, even if he dislikes us, we can still operate under his name.”

Clearly, Wang Ao had his mind set on forming a connection with Xu Shaochen.

Zhao Li frowned, “How is that even possible? That brat doesn’t even talk to me! How could I win her over?”

“Are you an idiot? Aren’t women like you great at making up stories? Say you had no choice but to leave back then. Play the emotional Card and stabilize her first. After all, you’re still her mother. Over time, she’ll have no choice but to accept you.”

Wang Ao’s tone was calm yet brimming with confidence. He believed himself to be extremely clever, not realizing he was racing down the road to self-destruction.

“Fine. I’ll meet her again. I’ll kneel before her this time. She won’t be able to refuse me then.”

Zhao Li grit her teeth, planning to manipulate Zhou Sixian’s kind and insecure nature by using guilt against her.

When the moment came, she would kneel before Zhou Sixian in front of everyone.

If Zhou Sixian didn’t forgive her, the surrounding bystanders would surely criticize Zhou Sixian. Under that pressure, Zhou Sixian would undoubtedly give in and accept her, at least for the time being.

Once they established a connection, Zhao Li was confident that, with her tactics, she could easily manipulate the 18-year-old girl.

It was clear Zhao Li cared only about using the daughter she had once abandoned. A poor excuse for a mother.

“Now you’re thinking! If we can get close to Xu Shaochen, kneeling won’t even matter. Hell, bowing would be worth it!”

Wang Ao flashed a bright smile.

“I’ll call her and tell her I want to see her one last time and never bother her again. That way, she’ll definitely come out.”

Zhao Li was all smiles, congratulating herself on her brilliant plan.

She couldn’t believe the deadbeat girl like Zhou Sixian had such incredible luck to be noticed by a young master of the Xu Corporation.

Wang Ao nodded. “That’s a solid idea. Let’s go with that.”

…………

“Liu Jun, have your people keep an eye on that couple. You know who Xiaoxian is, right? If they go looking for her, teach them a lesson and kick them out of Jiangzhou.”

In the villa’s living room, Xu Shaochen instructed as he looked at Liu Jun.

If it weren’t for the fact that Zhao Li was, after all, Zhou Sixian’s biological mother, Xu Shaochen definitely wouldn’t have been so lenient.

With his methods, he would’ve found a way to send Wang Ao and Zhao Li to jail for at least a decade.

And as for finding a way out early? Sorry, in Jiangzhou, Xu Shaochen was the biggest factor. If you couldn’t get around him, you’d just have to sit out your sentence obediently.

“Mr. Xu, to what extent should we handle this matter?”

Liu Jun carefully asked. After all, he had overheard that Zhao Li was Zhou Sixian’s mother.

Doing too much might make Zhou Sixian resent him. If she started whispering bad things about him to Xu Shaochen, wouldn’t that spell disaster for him?

So it was better to get clear instructions.

Xu Shaochen frowned. “Don’t hurt them too much, just don’t kill them. Leave them with a lasting impression. Think of it as a little souvenir from me.”

“Understood, Mr. Xu.”

Liu Jun nodded and then added, “Mr. Xu, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

Xu Shaochen waved his hand, dismissing Liu Jun.

“I’m going upstairs to take a nap.”

With that, Xu Shaochen headed upstairs.

…………

Inside a milk tea shop at the mall.

Wang Ao and Zhao Li were waiting for Zhou Sixian. They chose this spot specifically because it was crowded.

Just as expected, after the Phone call, Zhou Sixian agreed to meet.

“Hasn’t it been a while now? That deadbeat girl better not be ditching us.”

Zhao Li checked her watch impatiently. If it weren’t for Zhou Sixian’s value to her, she wouldn’t even bother seeing her.

Wang Ao, however, was calm. Shaking his head, he said, “Don’t rush. Maybe she got stuck in traffic. After waiting all this time, what’s a few more minutes?”

“She’s here.” Zhao Li suddenly exclaimed, her annoyed face immediately replaced by an enthusiastic smile as she stood and waved. “Xiaoxian! Your mom is over here!”

One couldn’t help but feel truly disgusted by the stark contrast of her expressions.

As usual, Xie Wei came along with Zhou Sixian, as she didn’t feel comfortable leaving her alone.

“Stop acting so close. Xiaoxian never had a mother growing up.”

Compared to Zhou Sixian, Xie Wei was much more forward. She sniped coldly as the two sat down.

“Uh… You must be Miss Xie, right? You shouldn’t say that. After all, she’s my flesh and blood. What kind of mother wouldn’t care for her own child?”

A flash of malice passed through Zhao Li’s eyes, but she maintained her fake smile, putting on an appearance of deep, sincere affection.
