Chapter Index

    The next day.

    Xiao Huang became famous.

    He became wildly popular in Jingcheng’s upper circles comparable to a viral internet sensation.

    The mighty Third Young Master of the Xiao Family in Jingcheng Xiao Huang actually performed a striptease in public.

    And he danced quite convincingly too.

    If one person says it it might be a rumor.

    If two people say it it might be an exaggeration.

    But if many people are adamantly saying it then it must be absolutely true.

    The Xiao Family also gained notoriety along with him.

    Xiao Family.

    “Slap!”

    Xiao Li raised his hand and slapped Xiao Huang hard across the face shouting angrily:

    “You bastard! You’ve completely disgraced our Xiao Family. Do you know that this morning when I went out everyone’s first words to me were asking if I taught you how to strip dance!”

    “How am I supposed to answer that? I looked as awkward as an idiot! This is all thanks to you!”

    “Alright Dad don’t get so angry. It’s not worth ruining your health over.”

    “That’s right Dad. It’s not the first or second time Old Three has done such outrageous things. There’s no need to get so worked up.”

    The eldest son of the Xiao Family Xiao Ye and the second son Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Huang with undisguised disgust.

    They were both outstanding members of the younger generation in the Xiao Family.

    More importantly they were both legitimate sons of the main branch.

    Yet among the three brothers there was Xiao Huang this good-for-nothing wastrel who did nothing but eat drink and be merry causing endless trouble for the family.

    Because of this third brother they always felt somewhat ashamed in front of others.

    “Dad it’s all because of that Xu Shaochen! If it weren’t for him how could I have lost face so badly.”

    Xiao Huang knelt on the ground gritting his teeth as he spoke his eyes filled with anger and hatred.

    He had never cared about Xiao Ye and Xiao Yan’s contempt.

    If he wasn’t uninterested in the position of the Xiao Family head these two wouldn’t even be in the picture.

    “Still making excuses! You think I don’t know? You were the one who proposed the bet first!”

    Xiao Li roared in uncontrollable anger.

    Xiao Huang pressed his lips together: “Dad if it weren’t for Xu Shaochen none of this would have happened!”

    “Why don’t you say if it weren’t for you none of this would have happened?” Xiao Li said coldly clearly at the peak of his anger.

    Xiao Huang lowered his head and said nothing more.

    Xiao Li sighed and said to Xiao Ye looking somewhat tired: “Arrange a meeting with Xu Shaochen. We need to resolve this grudge quickly.”

    “Yes Dad.”

    Xiao Ye nodded giving Xiao Huang a disgusted look.

    In his view falling out with Xu Shaochen was unwise.

    But they had no choice but to do so because it concerned the face of the entire Xiao Family.

    The root cause of all this was Xiao Huang this useless trash!

    They both considered Xiao Huang to be useless.

    Little did they know in Xiao Huang’s eyes they were the fools.

    Hotel.

    Xu Shaochen had just finished his exertions with Xie Wei and was drenched in sweat.

    It wasn’t that he couldn’t perform it was that Xie Wei was too demanding wanting it thirteen times in one night treating him inhumanely.

    She was known in the circles as “Thirteen Times in One Night.”

    “Hey why do you think I can’t get pregnant? If I still can’t conceive this time I’ll have to go to the hospital for a check-up.”

    Last night was her ovulation period so she had clung to Xu Shaochen like a madwoman wanting to have a child.

    “Why are you in such a hurry to have a child at your young age? If you really get pregnant you’ll have to drop out of school.”

    Xu Shaochen said somewhat helplessly not understanding these women’s thoughts. Why were they all in a rush to have children?

    Wasn’t it said that more and more women in modern society don’t want to have children?

    “Hmph dropping out is fine.”

    Xie Wei snorted noncommittally she had her own thoughts.

    In fact in her relationship with Xu Shaochen she had always been the weaker party always catering to Xu Shaochen.

    Having a child would give her more security.

    “Knock knock knock…”

    There was a knock at the door.

    Xu Shaochen closed the bedroom door wrapped a towel around himself and went to open it.

    Standing outside were Long Yi and a stranger.

    “What’s the matter?”

    Xu Shaochen glanced at the stranger then asked Long Yi.

    The stranger said respectfully: “Mr. Xu I’m from the Xiao Family. My boss has prepared a banquet at the Bamboo Garden at noon today awaiting your esteemed presence.”

    “Tell him I’ll be there on time.”

    Xu Shaochen nodded dismissing him.

    The Xiao Family wanted to talk with him but if they couldn’t reach an agreement it would definitely lead to a fight.

    Xu Shaochen wasn’t prepared to talk at all he had been preparing for a fight all along.

    Because he couldn’t possibly bow his head to the Xiao Family and apologize.

    Xiao Huang’s hand injury was entirely his own doing.

    After closing the door Xu Shaochen called Chen Ju asking him to arrange for people to go near the Bamboo Garden first.

    Xu Shaochen wouldn’t put himself in danger.

    “Ring ring ring…”

    Just as he hung up his Phone rang again.

    He took it out and saw it was Deng Tianwen calling. Xu Shaochen answered.

    “Hello.”

    “My men are almost here. I’m ready to make my move. Damn they almost cost me half my life so I’ll make the Xiao Family pay with ten lives.”

    Even through the Phone Xu Shaochen could feel Deng Tianwen’s murderous intent.

    Thinking about it anyone in Deng Tianwen’s position wouldn’t let the matter rest.

    After all he had nearly been beaten to death.

    Xu Shaochen thought for a moment then said: “Don’t be hasty. The Xiao Family has invited me to talk at noon. I’ll give you a signal then.”

    “Alright it’s up to you.”

    Deng Tianwen said before hanging up. Letting the Xiao Family squirm a bit longer was fine by him.

    “You’re going out at noon?”

    Xie Wei walked out of the room wearing a nightgown obviously having overheard Xu Shaochen’s words.

    “Yeah someone’s invited me for a meal. What do you think should I go? Free food and drinks it’d be a waste not to go right?”

    Xu Shaochen pinched her cheek grinning mischievously: “Next time I’ll get you some beauty products to apply. Make your skin even smoother to touch.”

    “Get lost keep that stuff for yourself.”

    Xie Wei blushed and chided coquettishly. This bastard just loved to tease people.

    “What are you thinking? I meant I’d buy you some cosmetics. What did you think I meant?”

    Xu Shaochen looked at Xie Wei innocently.

    “Only you know what you’re thinking. I’m done talking with you this young lady is going to take a shower.”

    Xie Wei rolled her eyes alluringly then pushed him aside swaying her slender waist as she walked towards the bathroom.

    Watching Xie Wei’s back view which was enough to mesmerize anyone Xu Shaochen sighed softly.

    Ah Xiao Huang Xiao Huang.

    I have nine beauties like this at home. Tell me how can I die? How can I let them be widows?

    Of course I can’t!

    So it’s better to let you

    and your Xiao Family die.
