Chapter Index

    “Whether your Zhao Family can continue to exist is another matter. How exactly won’t you let me off?”

    Long Yi displayed a mocking expression and raised his foot to kick out.

    “Ah!”

    Zhao Fei let out a miserable cry and was directly kicked to the ground.

    After falling, he still tried to get up.

    “Bang!”

    Long Yi quickly stepped forward, raised his foot and stomped on his back, forcefully pressing him down.

    “Cripple his two hands, smash all his teeth, but leave his two legs so he can walk back to report.”

    As Long Yi’s words fell, two bodyguards walked up.

    “No! No! Please, don’t! Don’t!”

    Zhao Fei was so frightened that he panicked, directly bursting into loud sobs.

    If heaven gave him another chance, he definitely wouldn’t come to Jiangzhou, let alone be so presumptuous.

    “Ahhhhh!”

    Soon, screams from the same person rose and fell on the street.

    Zhao Fei’s two hands were forcibly broken, beyond any hope of recovery in this lifetime. All his teeth were smashed, and his face was covered in blood.

    “Take him and get lost. Tell your master that our boss is merciful to leave him a dog’s life. Next time, he won’t be so lucky.”

    Long Yi threw down a cold remark, then led his people back into the Jiangzhou Grand Hotel.

    “Quick! Quick, take me away! I want to go back to the Northwest!”

    Zhao Fei shouted hysterically, his eyes full of hatred, hatred for Xu Shaochen. He wished he could tear Xu Shaochen into pieces, rip out his tendons and bones.

    The bodyguards finally reacted, hurriedly getting up from the ground and supporting Zhao Fei into the Car.

    Inside the Jiangzhou Grand Hotel.

    Long Yi led his people in, nodding to Xu Shaochen to indicate that the matter had been taken care of.

    Others naturally saw this scene too, silently mourning for that fool for three minutes in their hearts.

    Daring to provoke Xu Shaochen, wasn’t that like lighting a lamp in a toilet—seeking death?

    Mei Liangxin finished speaking, then began to go from table to table with the bride to toast the guests.

    “Congratulations, congratulations. Wishing Mr. Mei and Miss Liu a harmonious union for a hundred years and an early birth of a precious child.”

    “Congratulations, congratulations…”

    With so many guests today, even if Mei Liangxin only took a sip at each table, it would be more than he could handle.

    “Ding~”

    Suddenly, Xu Shaochen’s Phone rang. He took it out to see it was a message from Deng Tianwen.

    “I’m going to the restroom.”

    After excusing himself to the women, Xu Shaochen got up and walked towards the restroom.

    Deng Tianwen was already waiting for him inside.

    “Why did you ask me to come here? What unspeakable things do you want to say?”

    Xu Shaochen asked jokingly.

    Deng Tianwen rolled his eyes: “How did you end up making enemies with the Zhao Family?”

    “You know them?” Xu Shaochen raised an eyebrow.

    Deng Tianwen nodded, leaning against the sink: “The Zhao Family has been rising rapidly in the Northwest these past few years. Our Deng Family is bearing the brunt of it. It’s hard not to know them.”

    “The one just now was the Zhao Family’s second young master, arrogant and domineering.”

    Xu Shaochen agreed: “I could see that.”

    He didn’t take a mere Zhao Family seriously at all.

    “Don’t change the subject.” Seeing Xu Shaochen’s nonchalant attitude, Deng Tianwen was a bit annoyed: “Do you think the Zhao Family is nothing? Then why has our Deng Family allowed them to develop in the Northwest for so many years?”

    “They have someone backing them?” Xu Shaochen asked suspiciously. Besides this point, he couldn’t think of any other explanation.

    Otherwise, with the strong territorial mindset of families like theirs, they would have crushed the Zhao Family in its infancy. It wouldn’t have been possible to let them develop for so long.

    Deng Tianwen nodded: “Not just someone, but a big shot. For the Zhao Family to gain power rivaling our Deng Family in just 10 short years, the person behind them must be formidable.”

    “Do you know who it is?” Xu Shaochen asked, handing Deng Tianwen a cigarette.

    Deng Tianwen shook his head: “Not sure. That person is very low-key, and the Zhao Family is also very tight-lipped about this matter.”

    “If the dog doesn’t know its place, I’ll beat the dog. If the dog’s master still doesn’t understand, then I’ll beat the master too.”

    Xu Shaochen said coldly. Neither the Zhao Family nor the person behind them were taken seriously by him.

    “So badass, are you going to ascend to heaven? I’ll have my family look into it more for you. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle, though it’ll probably lead nowhere.”

    Deng Tianwen said speechlessly, then curiously asked: “How exactly did you end up at odds with the Zhao Family?”

    “Do you know Zhao Ling?” Xu Shaochen asked in return.

    Deng Tianwen immediately nodded in sudden realization: “Oh, so it’s that shrew. No wonder then.”

    Clearly, he was also well aware of Zhao Ling’s overbearing nature.

    “Let’s go. Two grown men meeting in the bathroom, it feels a bit strange.”

    Xu Shaochen said, turning on the faucet to wash his hands, then walking out.

    “Where did you go? I couldn’t find you to offer a toast.”

    Seeing Xu Shaochen come out, Mei Liangxin approached with a wine glass. His speech now carried a strong smell of alcohol, and his steps were unsteady, clearly already drunk.

    “Just take a sip. Happy wedding.”

    Xu Shaochen picked up a glass from the table and drank it all in one go.

    “Shaochen, thank you, thank you.”

    Mei Liangxin kept repeating, revealing his true feelings after drinking. He was genuinely grateful to Xu Shaochen from the bottom of his heart.

    Just take today’s wedding for example. Without Xu Shaochen, who knows how dreary it would have been.

    “No need to be so polite with me, are you treating me like an outsider? Alright, just greet the remaining guests, no need to drink anymore. Otherwise, you really won’t be able to consummate your marriage tonight.”

    Xu Shaochen patted his shoulder and took the wine glass from his hand.

    Mei Liangxin chuckled: “Every night is our wedding night, missing one day won’t matter. Right, honey?”

    “Get lost.” Liu Ying blushed and coquettishly scolded. How could he say such things in public?

    “Enjoy yourself. I’ll go mingle with the other guests. Hic~”

    Mei Liangxin said, letting out a drunken hiccup, then followed Liu Ying to the tables of other guests.

    Zhang Wei and Zhao Qing, the two single dogs, had eyes full of envy.

    “Old Liu, you’ve found a good son-in-law.”

    The guests from Liu’s side all flattered Liu Ying’s parents, but in their hearts, they wondered who this Mei Liangxin was, to have such a big reputation in Jiangzhou.

    “Hahaha, not at all, not at all. We didn’t find him, the young people got together on their own.”

    Liu Ying’s father laughed heartily, his face beaming, clearly enjoying this flattery and feeling like he had gained face.

    He sighed inwardly, thinking about how he had initially opposed this marriage. It really was a slap in the face!

    “You’re just showing off. No wonder you looked down on my son.”

    “That’s right…”

    After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the guests who came to attend the wedding also began to leave one after another. Thus, a grand wedding came to an end.
