Chapter Index

    Xu Shaochen and Deng Tianwen both frowned but neither spoke.

    After all Chen Ju was the host it should be left to him to handle.

    “Third Young Master Xiao these are all my friends.”

    Chen Ju stood up suppressing his anger and spoke to Xiao Huang in the calmest tone possible.

    Being unreasonable isn’t scary.

    What’s scary is the deep power behind unreasonableness.

    Xiao Huang was definitely a notable figure in the capital his unreasonableness had reached such an extreme that countless young masters and misses in the capital paled at the mention of his name.

    “Friends? Young Master Chen with your status you can have as many friends as you want but my face is different.”

    Xiao Huang said casually with an ambiguous expression.

    Chen Ju felt a bit awkward but he had already made up his mind to stand by Xu Shaochen.

    Otherwise if word got out that the Chen Family’s guests were humiliated by Xiao Huang how would others view the Chen Family?

    “Kid what are you still doing standing there? Get out quickly!”

    A young man in black casual wear behind Xiao Huang looked arrogantly at Xu Shaochen.

    “In Jiangzhou someone as arrogant as you wouldn’t have survived till today. It seems the tolerance in the capital is quite high.”

    Xu Shaochen played with his Teacup and spoke calmly looking at him.

    “Hahaha…”

    Hearing this everyone burst into laughter.

    The young man in casual wear said coldly “But this is the capital not your backwater Jiangzhou. Get out now!”

    They didn’t know how this person had offended Xiao Huang.

    But since Xiao Huang told them to do so they were ready to comply.

    After all if the sky fell Xiao Huang would be there to hold it up for them.

    Moreover they didn’t take an outsider seriously.

    “Hehe the people of the capital are quite imposing.”

    Deng Tianwen chuckled and said with a forced smile.

    “Hehe kid we people from the capital are not only imposing some parts of us are also very big. If you don’t believe let the two women beside you try. They can tell you afterward.”

    The young man in black casual wear glanced at Hou Xiaoyan and Xie Wei revealing a lewd smile. The others also laughed along.

    Xie Wei and Hou Xiaoyan were so angry their pretty faces turned pale their delicate fists clenched tight.

    “What did you just say?”

    Xu Shaochen asked expressionlessly looking at the young man in black casual wear.

    Chen Ju’s face changed knowing trouble was coming he hurriedly tried to intervene.

    “Young Master Chen let’s chat. Leave the rest for them to handle.”

    Xiao Huang stopped Chen Ju.

    The young man in black casual wear stepped forward looking down at Xu Shaochen with mockery in his eyes he said word by word:

    “I said we people from the capital are not only imposing other parts are also very big. If you don’t believe let your women try. They can tell you afterward.”

    “Hahaha…”

    Everyone else burst into laughter looking at Xu Shaochen with various expressions – mockery playfulness disdain ridicule.

    “Interesting. I’ve seen many who aren’t afraid of death but few who actively seek it. You’re one of them.”

    Xu Shaochen smiled calmly one hand grabbing the ceramic teapot to pour himself a cup of tea.

    “Hehe I want to seek death. What can you do about it? What do you dare to do? Let me tell you the capital isn’t your small backwater place…”

    The young man in black casual wear leaned close to Xu Shaochen looking at him provocatively.

    “Crash!”

    Before he could finish Xu Shaochen smashed the teapot directly on his head. It shattered instantly the hot tea inside splashing onto his face.

    “Ahhh!”

    Caught off guard the young man in black casual wear let out a miserable scream. His face was scalded and blood flowed down his forehead continuously.

    Everyone was startled by this sudden turn of events.

    No one expected Xu Shaochen to be so bold actually daring to attack without hesitation.

    But it wasn’t over yet. Xu Shaochen grabbed the casual wear young man’s hair and slammed his head hard on the table several times before finally letting go.

    The table was covered in bright red blood and the young man in black casual wear collapsed powerlessly on the ground still moaning in pain.

    “I hate it most when someone disturbs me while I’m eating.”

    Xu Shaochen wiped his hands and said casually looking at Xiao Huang.

    Originally he wanted to hold back and let Chen Ju handle it but now he really couldn’t restrain himself anymore.

    “Fuck you! You’re courting death!”

    The others finally reacted all bursting with anger shouting that they would kill Xu Shaochen but none dared to make a move.

    “Young Master Chen your friend has quite a temper daring to hit even my people.”

    Xiao Huang said coldly.

    “I thought this was your dog.” Xu Shaochen said looking at Xiao Huang.

    Xiao Huang snorted coldly “Even if it’s a dog I raised you can’t hit it because this dog has the Xiao name on it.”

    “But I’ve already hit it.” Xu Shaochen said casually kicking the young man on the ground lightly.

    Xiao Huang walked step by step to Xu Shaochen’s front lowered his voice and said “Is it easy for me to raise a few dogs? You’ve hit two of my dogs in a row. Tell me how should I deal with you?”

    “Two?”

    Xu Shaochen was stunned he didn’t understand what this sentence meant.

    Wasn’t this his first time meeting Xiao Huang?

    “Don’t understand? It’s okay if you don’t understand. I’ll explain it to you well during your days in the capital.”

    Xiao Huang reached out and patted Xu Shaochen’s shoulder then walked out of the private room without looking back.

    The others hurriedly followed carrying the young man in casual wear on the ground.

    “How did you offend this guy?”

    As soon as Xiao Huang left Chen Ju asked Xu Shaochen with a frown.

    Of course he had also noticed that Xiao Huang had been targeting Xu Shaochen from the start.

    Xu Shaochen was also puzzled “Would you believe me if I said this was my first time seeing him?”

    “Sigh you’re likely to have trouble ahead. This person acts recklessly.”

    Chen Ju sighed feeling that things had become thorny.

    “Face the enemy with troops block the flood with soil. I’m never afraid of trouble because as long as it’s trouble it can be solved.”

    Xu Shaochen said calmly exuding a strong confidence and coldness.

    There was one more thing he didn’t say.

    That is as long as it’s trouble it can be solved. If trouble can’t be solved then solve the person causing the trouble.

    He could be certain that he didn’t know Xiao Huang but if the other party insisted on picking a fight he had nothing to fear.

    “You don’t understand. The Xiao Family has great influence in the capital. Didn’t you see even I had to be cautious in front of him?”

    Chen Ju shook his head Xu Shaochen’s understanding of the capital’s affairs was still too limited.

    “Alright tell the kitchen to serve the dishes. I’m already hungry.”

    Xu Shaochen ended the topic.
