Chapter 732: The Enraged Chen Ju
by xennovel“Greetings, Young Master Xu.”
“Greetings, Mr. Xu.”
At this moment Liang Shicheng and Zhao Yanshang arrived too. They both greeted Xu Shaochen.
The two didn’t react much to seeing Chen Ju, assuming he was there to welcome Xu Shaochen.
After all in their view it was perfectly normal for Chen Ju to personally greet Xu Shaochen.
Boom!
Seeing this scene everyone instantly erupted into chaos again.
Chen Ju’s respectful attitude towards Xu Shaochen was shocking but understandable as they were of the same generation.
But Zhao Yanshang and Liang Shicheng were different. They were heads of their own families able to speak as equals with Chen Gu the Chen Family patriarch.
Yet now they were also so respectful towards Xu Shaochen.
Just what was this person’s identity?
In everyone’s eyes Xu Shaochen’s identity seemed to be a complete mystery.
The two young men responsible for reception were already scared witless their faces pale and bloodless.
“Young Master Chen this matter has nothing to do with you. But the Chen Family is still the Chen Family even the servants are so arrogant.”
Xu Shaochen glanced at the two young men and said casually to Chen Ju his tone carrying a hint of mockery.
“Thud!”
Hearing these words the two young men immediately crawled and rolled to Chen Ju’s feet.
“Eldest Brother please spare us! It was all Young Master Ling who made us do it. We had no choice! Please forgive us!”
The two didn’t hesitate to betray Chen Ling.
“That bastard again!”
Chen Ju’s face darkened. He then raised his feet and kicked both men in the head.
“Ah!”
The two cried out in pain clutching their heads as they fell to the ground.
“How dare you disrespect Mr. Xu! You truly have guts! What Chen Ling tells you to do you just do? If he told you to eat shit would you do that too?”
Chen Ju’s anger was mostly directed at Chen Ling. These two were just collateral damage.
He hadn’t expected Chen Ling to be so reckless.
To pull such a stunt at the Old Master’s birthday banquet making them a laughingstock.
This was a disgrace to their Chen Family!
“Please spare us Eldest Brother! We know we were wrong truly wrong! We’ll never dare to do it again!”
The two got up kneeling on the ground repeatedly kowtowing to Chen Ju crying snot and tears.
“Young Master Xu you see…”
Chen Ju looked towards Xu Shaochen.
“Your Chen Family’s people of course you handle them yourself. Why are you looking at me?”
Xu Shaochen said calmly.
Chen Ju nodded looked at the four coins on the ground and said coldly “Two each. Swallow them then go receive your punishment!”
Hearing this the two looked at the four shiny coins on the ground their eyes filled with terror.
Forcing them to swallow two one-yuan coins whole was pure torture.
“What do I need to feed you myself?”
Chen Ju said.
Hearing this everyone shuddered. The two hurriedly grabbed the dust-covered coins from the ground two each then slowly put them in their mouths.
“Ugh~”
After swallowing the coins the two kept retching their faces growing paler.
“Go receive your punishment yourselves!”
Chen Ju said coldly. The Chen Family had its rules. When their children made mistakes they were punished and so were the servants.
“Yes… thank you Young Master for your mercy.”
The two spoke with trembling voices then supported each other to stand up and walked with difficulty through the Chen Family’s gate.
Having been in the Chen Family for so many years they naturally knew what to expect.
Today if they weren’t whipped until their skin split and flesh showed they probably wouldn’t be allowed to leave.
“Young Master Xu please.”
Chen Ju made a gesture of invitation towards Xu Shaochen.
Xu Shaochen nodded and entered the Chen Family residence with Xie Wei. Liang Shicheng and Zhao Yanshang hurriedly followed not giving others a chance to inquire about Xu Shaochen’s identity.
After passing through the first courtyard was the Chen Family’s largest courtyard. It was already filled with tables and chairs decorated festively.
As Xu Shaochen entered those who had been talking animatedly all turned their gazes towards him.
After all he was personally escorted in by Chen Ju. It was hard not to notice.
“Dad it’s him.”
Xiao Huang said to Xiao Li beside him.
Xiao Li nodded “Don’t mind him. Stay away. If there’s anything we’ll deal with it after today.”
“Mm don’t worry I know what’s important.”
Xiao Huang said but in his heart he was already thinking about how to provoke Xu Shaochen and force him to fight later.
If he was humiliated and beaten in front of everyone the Xiao Family certainly wouldn’t let it go.
“Young Master Xu please make yourself at home. I have some matters to attend to first.”
Chen Ju said to Xu Shaochen with a smile his tone gentle.
“Go about your business don’t mind me.”
Xu Shaochen waved his hand casually.
Chen Ju nodded then turned to leave.
The moment he turned his smile gradually faded replaced by a gloomy expression.
“Where’s Chen Ling!”
He couldn’t wait until after the birthday banquet to deal with him. Moreover he feared Chen Ling might cause more trouble later.
“Young Master Ling is still in his courtyard.”
A bodyguard behind him replied respectfully.
Chen Ju headed towards Chen Ling’s small courtyard without another word.
…
At this moment Chen Ling was in his room drinking fine wine listening to music as if all the hustle and bustle outside had nothing to do with him.
He didn’t like those occasions.
Because no one would pay attention to him. Everyone’s focus would only be on Chen Ju.
He didn’t like watching Chen Ju in the spotlight.
But he was in a good mood today.
Because if things went as planned that Xu fellow should have lost face at the entrance by now.
Thinking of this a smile spread across his lips.
Ah the only regret was probably not being able to see it with his own eyes.
“Bang!”
Just then the room’s door was violently kicked open.
Chen Ling was startled the wine glass in his hand fell directly to the floor.
“Are you crazy!”
When he saw it was Chen Ju he instantly flew into a rage slamming the table and standing up his anger doubling.
“Slap!”
Chen Ju with a gloomy face stepped forward without a word and slapped him hard across the face.
The slap sent Chen Ling tumbling onto the sofa.
Because the bandage on his head hadn’t been removed yet the scene looked particularly comical.
“Didn’t I tell you last time that was the last time I’d tolerate you?”
Chen Ju looked down at Chen Ling speaking in an icy tone.
For the sake of harmony within the family he had tolerated this fool time and again. He didn’t expect him to become even more brazen.
Did he really think he Chen Ju was a sick cat?
