Chapter Index

    “Big Brother, since childhood, our little sister has never been bullied. This time, someone forcefully broke her finger. Are we really going to let this slide?”

    After Zhao Lianghe left, Zhao Fei stopped Zhao Chen.

    Hearing this, Zhao Chen raised an eyebrow: “What do you want to do? Dad just said not to cause trouble. We can’t afford to offend Xu Shaochen!”

    “Hmph!” Zhao Fei snorted coldly with disdain: “Big Brother, I think Dad’s becoming more and more cowardly. With that Young Master on our side, what’s there to fear about Xu Shaochen!”

    “Didn’t Dad just explain the pros and cons to you? If something really happens, that person won’t protect our Zhao Family!”

    Zhao Chen felt his brother’s thinking was a bit extreme, and worried he might act recklessly, so he tried to persuade him.

    Zhao Fei sneered: “Big Brother, Dad’s overthinking it. Our Zhao Family has done so much dirty work for that person over the years. Do you think he’d abandon us?”

    Hearing this, Zhao Chen fell silent, his expression changing. Zhao Fei had a point.

    For so many years, they had been tightly bound to that Young Master.

    Regardless of the aspect, if something were to happen to the Zhao Family, that person couldn’t possibly ignore it.

    Seeing Zhao Chen wavering, Zhao Fei continued to press: “Big Brother, don’t worry. Just lend me a few of your men. I know what I’m doing.”

    If he had capable men under his own command, he wouldn’t be here dilly-dallying with Zhao Chen. He would have already led them to attack Jiangzhou.

    In his view, Xu Shaochen was just a pampered young master with a better background. What was so great about that?

    Moreover, he had full confidence in the Young Master backing the Zhao Family. With him around, Zhao Fei could act recklessly.

    “Fine, I’ll lend you the men. But remember, don’t go too far.”

    Zhao Chen finally agreed, after all, he couldn’t tolerate his young sister losing a finger at such a young age.

    “Big Brother, don’t worry. I know what to do. Help me keep this from Dad, just say I went to visit a friend out of town.”

    Zhao Fei seemed very excited. He could hardly wait to go to Jiangzhou and step on Xu Shaochen.

    What bullshit Xu Corporation young director, I’ll still trample you underfoot.

    It’s only satisfying to trample on impressive people!

    Looking at the eager Zhao Fei, Zhao Chen had a bad feeling in his heart.

    Finally, he sighed, thinking he might be overthinking it.

    That very night, Zhao Fei took more than ten men and boarded a flight to Jiangzhou.

    ………………

    Jiangzhou was a city that never slept.

    Even at midnight, Jiangzhou was still bustling with activity.

    In a private room of a club.

    Xu Shaochen was drinking with Deng Tianwen.

    Originally, Xu Shaochen didn’t want to come, but he couldn’t resist Deng Tianwen’s persistent dragging.

    Left with no choice, Xu Shaochen reluctantly agreed.

    “Is it settled with your family?” Xu Shaochen asked.

    Deng Tianwen rolled his eyes: “Don’t worry, I won’t shortchange you. I’m not the type to go back on my word.”

    “Good boy. I like smart kids like you. It’s not about the money. I’m mainly worried you’ll develop a bad habit of not keeping promises, so I’m gently reminding you.”

    Xu Shaochen patted his shoulder solemnly, looking as if he was doing it all for Deng Tianwen’s own good.

    With smart people, often half a sentence is enough to avoid embarrassment for everyone.

    “Hehe.” Deng Tianwen smiled noncommittally: “Do you think I believe that?”

    “Sigh… I might have to reconsider the best man thing,” Xu Shaochen sighed, gently swirling his wine glass.

    Deng Tianwen quickly blurted out: “Of course I believe you! Let’s drink, let’s not talk about this.”

    If I didn’t need a favor from you, I’d have slapped you across the face already.

    Suddenly, Deng Tianwen thought of something and looked at Xu Shaochen with curiosity and gossip: “Young Master Xu, speaking of marriage, I’m very curious how you’ll handle all the women in your family, especially since two are already pregnant.”

    “I have the ability to keep a harem, but not the ability to manage it? Young man, I can only say poverty limits your imagination.”

    Xu Shaochen shook his head, looking at Deng Tianwen with a hint of pity in his eyes. Too poor, that kind of pauper’s thinking was simply not on the same level as his own.

    Deng Tianwen felt insulted. He was now confirmed as the heir to the Deng Family, yet he was still being called poor?

    This was simply intolerable!

    “Young Master Xu, you’ve gone too far. I consider myself to have quite a fortune,” Deng Tianwen straightened his back.

    Xu Shaochen sneered and said nonchalantly: “Recently, I’m thinking of building a city just for fun.”

    “What game? PC or mobile? How much do you need to top up for a city? Is a million enough to start?” Deng Tianwen said enthusiastically. With money, anything was possible, right?

    Xu Shaochen looked at the poor child, his eyes filled with even more sympathy.

    Deng Tianwen was stunned, then laughed: “If it’s not a game, what else could it be? You’re not really building a city, are you? Stop joking.”

    Xu Shaochen said nothing, took out his Phone, found Jenny’s email, and casually tossed it in front of Deng Tianwen.

    Deng Tianwen looked at Xu Shaochen suspiciously, then picked up the Phone. As he read, he became increasingly shocked, his eyes widening in disbelief.

    “Hey, what do you think? If I were to build a castle, what style should it be?”

    Xu Shaochen “sincerely” sought advice. He really wasn’t trying to show off.

    “Gulp~”

    Deng Tianwen’s throat bobbed, and he looked at Xu Shaochen with a thumbs up: “Big Brother, you’re amazing. Forgive me, poverty really did limit my imagination.”

    He felt like he had just been swinging a big sword in front of Guan Yu.

    He thought he was rich, but it turned out he was just a pauper.

    “Keep it low-key, it’s just for fun,” Xu Shaochen put away his Phone, waving his hand dismissively.

    Just for fun?

    Deng Tianwen felt like vomiting blood. The gap between rich people was even bigger than the gap between rich and poor.

    “Big Brother, can I reserve a plot of land? I want to be your neighbor.”

    Deng Tianwen stood up, bowed, and poured a full glass of wine for Xu Shaochen, looking at him expectantly.

    He couldn’t afford a private island yet, but he could build a house on the island, fulfilling his dream to some extent.

    “No rush, we’ll see later. When my castle is built, I’ll check if there’s any corner left for you.”

    Xu Shaochen said casually. Deng Tianwen had reminded him that he could play real estate on the island in the future.

    Once the island developed, he could sell houses exclusively to globally renowned tycoons.

    This would further enhance the island’s reputation and appeal, attracting more tycoons, creating a cycle.

    It was simply perfect.
