Chapter 734: Overlooked One Thing

“What’s wrong?”

Xu Shaochen noticed Xie Wei’s grim expression when she returned and asked.

Xie Wei leaned close to Xu Shaochen’s ear and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Xu Shaochen’s face instantly darkened his hand gripping the wine glass tightened almost involuntarily.

“Crash!”

The wine glass shattered into pieces.

In an instant everyone at the table looked at him.

“I just remembered something unpleasant and lost control of my emotions a bit.”

Xu Shaochen smiled and said to a servant of the Chen Family “Please help me get a new wine glass.”

As he spoke his peripheral vision caught Xiao Huang returning from the restroom.

Xiao Huang waved at him provocatively then pointed at Xie Wei mouthing something unspeakable.

Xu Shaochen’s face turned terrifyingly dark as if it could drip water.

No one could tolerate someone insulting their wife right in front of them.

Likewise Xu Shaochen was a man and naturally couldn’t endure it.

Moreover he had no reason to hold back.

Because he had nothing to worry about regarding Xiao Huang.

Xiao Huang had already sat back down next to his father.

“Where did you just go? You disappeared right after the toast.”

Looking at Xiao Huang Xiao Li spoke with a displeased expression.

He was on edge about his unreliable son fearing he might cause trouble at this event.

So when he returned from the toast and found him missing his heart leaped into his throat.

“I just went to the restroom.”

Xiao Huang said.

Hearing this Xiao Li finally let out a sigh of relief.

Xu Shaochen stood up and walked step by step towards Xiao Huang’s table.

Zhao Yanshang and others exchanged glances looking puzzled at Xu Shaochen’s back.

“Dad that Xu guy is coming over he’s definitely here to cause trouble for me.”

Seeing Xu Shaochen approach Xiao Huang preemptively accused with a panicked expression.

Xiao Li frowned “Hmph! Does he really think our Xiao Family has no one?”

Truthfully he didn’t believe Xu Shaochen was here to cause trouble because he couldn’t believe Xu Shaochen couldn’t even wait one day let alone in such an occasion.

Of course he didn’t know that his good son had just provoked him.

“Young Master Xu…”

Xiao Li stood up.

“Who are you?” Xu Shaochen interrupted him.

Interrupted by Xu Shaochen Xiao Li felt displeased “Xiao Huang is my son.”

“Well you’ve certainly raised a fine son.” Xu Shaochen said with double meaning his tone full of hostility.

At this moment before the birthday banquet had begun this scene attracted everyone’s attention.

The previously noisy courtyard suddenly fell silent as everyone watched the unfolding drama.

They naturally recognized Xiao Li.

But not everyone knew Xu Shaochen.

So they were shocked that someone dared to confront Xiao Li.

Of course they were more surprised that Xiao Li had just addressed Xu Shaochen as “Young Master Xu.”

This form of address showed great respect and also indicated that Xiao Li was wary of Xu Shaochen.

So they were curious about Xu Shaochen’s identity wondering where he came from to make even Xiao Li so cautious.

“Slam!”

Xiao Huang stood up abruptly and arrogantly said to Xu Shaochen “Xu who gave you the guts to speak to my dad like that? Do you know what my Xiao Family represents in Jingcheng?”

Seeing this scene no one was surprised.

After all this was Xiao Huang’s usual style of doing things.

Relying on his background to bully others in Jingcheng doing whatever he pleased.

Xiao Li however raised an eyebrow surprised that Xiao Huang who was crying in fear yesterday now dared to confront Xu Shaochen face-to-face relying on his presence.

This fool! Doesn’t he know this will only further escalate the conflict?

But since Xiao Huang was defending him he couldn’t reprimand him. Besides reprimanding Xiao Huang at this moment would imply that he was afraid of Xu Shaochen.

If that were the case where would the Xiao Family’s face be?

Unfortunately Xiao Li couldn’t imagine that his son wasn’t a fool he was deliberately escalating the conflict.

“Young Master Xu my son Huang must have done something wrong but no matter what it’s not your place to criticize him you don’t have that right.”

Xiao Li confronted Xu Shaochen. He didn’t want to clash with Xu Shaochen but he couldn’t back down and had to appear even more aggressive.

Because he represented not just himself but the entire Xiao Family behind him.

“I don’t intend to criticize your son I simply want to break his limbs that’s all.”

Xu Shaochen said expressionlessly his tone calm as if discussing a trivial matter.

However these words fell on everyone’s ears like a thunderclap in clear sky.

They never imagined in their lifetime.

That they would witness such a scene.

Someone daring to say they would break Xiao Li’s son’s limbs right in front of him how audacious.

“Is that so? Then go ahead and try.”

Xiao Li said coldly.

“You dare to be so arrogant in front of me without bodyguards?”

Xu Shaochen revealed a mocking smile.

None of the people attending the birthday banquet had brought bodyguards or any offensive weapons.

So if a conflict arose it would depend on personal combat skills.

Xu Shaochen had practiced martial arts since childhood how could Xiao Li and Xiao Huang father and son compare?

Xiao Li and Xiao Huang both felt a sense of foreboding.

Xu Shaochen reached out to grab Xiao Huang’s shoulder.

“How dare you!”

Seeing Xu Shaochen actually dare to make a move in front of him Xiao Li instantly flew into a rage stepping forward to stop Xu Shaochen.

“Get lost.”

Xu Shaochen coldly spat out one word raising his foot to kick.

“Ah!”

Xiao Li screamed his nearly six-foot tall frame flying three meters away crashing hard onto the aisle.

Seeing this Xiao Huang’s eyes turned red with rage his heart filled with panic.

He had successfully escalated the conflict between the Xiao Family and Xu Shaochen but.

He had miscalculated one thing that is he underestimated Xu Shaochen’s combat ability.

He originally thought that since no one could bring bodyguards or offensive weapons today it wouldn’t matter even if they fell out with Xu Shaochen.

After all Xu Shaochen wouldn’t dare to make a move in this situation.

Even if Xu Shaochen dared to act couldn’t the two of them handle him alone?

But now it seemed he was wrong.

“Ah!”

The next second he felt a pain in his shoulder as Xu Shaochen firmly gripped him.

Xu Shaochen’s hand slid down grabbing his wrist and pressing his palm onto the table.

Then with his other hand he picked up a chopstick and expressionlessly stabbed it down.

“Squelch—”

The chopstick pierced through Xiao Huang’s fair palm forcefully embedding into the table blood spurting out.

“Aaaah!”

Xiao Huang let out a shrill scream his face pale his features distorted with pain large beads of cold sweat constantly rolling down his forehead.
