Chapter Index

    The next day the sun rose as usual.

    Ordinary people couldn’t sense any difference between today and other days.

    As always they went to work school and began another ordinary day.

    But among Jingcheng’s upper echelons a small shift had occurred. The Xiao Family was finished and those forces dependent on them scattered like monkeys from a fallen tree.

    It proved that the Li family’s power was indeed terrifying.

    Xu Shaochen and his group hadn’t even made a move yet when they discovered the Xiao Family had already fallen.

    After inquiring they learned it was the Li family who acted. Everything made sense then.

    However upon learning the reason for the Li family’s action a stampede of ten thousand alpacas ran through Xu Shaochen’s mind.

    Tang Silin was indeed a femme fatale. She was truly ruthless and knew how to use her advantages.

    The Xiao Family died unjustly.

    While shocked Xu Shaochen couldn’t help but feel fortunate that he had two layers of insurance.

    Now these two insurance policies were even safer.

    Once he released the video of Tang Silin killing Xiao Huang the Li family wouldn’t spare her.

    Because they had been used by Tang Silin.

    And if the second video was released it would cause an even bigger uproar. The Li family would likely make Tang Silin mysteriously disappear.

    If nothing unexpected happened Tang Silin would soon come looking for him.

    Because she wouldn’t sit idly by while others held evidence that could control her.

    As it happened Xu Shaochen also had some questions he wanted answers to from Tang Silin.

    Since that piece of jade belonged to the Tang Family and Tang Silin went through such trouble to retrieve it it meant she definitely knew something.

    And this happened to be exactly what he wanted to know.

    “What are you thinking about again smiling like an

    idiot?”

    Xie Wei returned with breakfast and seeing Xu Shaochen grinning on the sofa she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

    “Nothing just thought of something that made me happy.”

    Xu Shaochen suppressed the smile on his face and walked towards the dining table.

    “Hey I have something to tell you.”

    Xie Wei said to Xu Shaochen while setting breakfast on the table.

    “Go ahead.”

    Xu Shaochen nodded casually grabbing an egg roll and stuffing it into his mouth.

    Xie Wei’s pretty face blushed slightly looking a bit embarrassed. She said mysteriously “I heard there’s a skilled old traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Jingcheng who’s great at treating infertility. Why don’t you accompany me to see him after we finish eating?”

    She couldn’t help but be anxious. She was the first to follow Xu Shaochen and they often didn’t use any protection when being intimate.

    But now Liu Ruxu and Liu Rushuang were both pregnant while her belly showed no signs. It made her wonder if there was something wrong with her.

    “If we’re going to check we should go to a proper hospital. What old Chinese medicine doctor? Is that reliable?”

    Xie Wei was almost obsessed with having a child. Since she wanted to go Xu Shaochen decided to indulge her.

    It was better than her constantly searching online for so-called quick pregnancy remedies.

    “I asked on the local forum and many people said it’s reliable. Let’s go see first if it doesn’t work we can go to the hospital.”

    Seeing Xu Shaochen agree to accompany her Xie Wei looked very happy. She had thought Xu Shaochen would find it annoying.

    “Knock knock knock…”

    There was a knock at the door.

    “Come in.”

    Xie Wei said.

    Long Yi pushed open the door and entered looking at Xu Shaochen he said “Boss Miss Tang Silin is here.”

    “Oh so soon.”

    Xu Shaochen was a bit surprised. He knew Tang Silin would come looking for him but didn’t expect her to be so eager.

    “Please show her in.”

    Xu Shaochen said.

    Long Yi turned and left moments later he returned with Tang Silin.

    “Young Master Xu eating? It seems I’ve come at a somewhat inconvenient time?”

    Tang Silin smiled radiantly showing no sign of any conflict with Xu Shaochen. As they say all women are actresses.

    Today Tang Silin wore a pair of black skinny pants paired with a white shirt. On her feet were a pair of black five-inch high heels. Her slightly curled long hair fell over her shoulders giving her a smart and capable look with a mix of sexiness and coolness.

    Xu Shaochen couldn’t help but admire this woman’s figure. It was a pity she was a lesbian. What a waste of resources.

    “Have you eaten? If not join us.”

    Xu Shaochen said with a smile as if they were old friends who had known each other for years.

    “I thought Young Master Xu was going to offer me something else to eat.” Tang Silin winked hooking the door closed with her high heel.

    Xu Shaochen sneered. This woman was deliberately acting this way in front of Xie Wei trying to cause trouble for him.

    Unfortunately Xie Wei wasn’t necessarily dumber than her. How could she not see through this?

    “If you’re so eager to eat why don’t we go to the bedroom? I’ll let you eat your fill.”

    Xu Shaochen spoke without reservation.

    Tang Silin looked at Xie Wei “Then let’s give it a try. Miss Xie you wouldn’t mind right?”

    “Of course not. Why refuse something offered freely? It only proves my good taste that my husband is so charming someone would deliver themselves to his door. It’s better than him going out to find those messy socialites. At least Miss Tang seems more clean and proper.”

    Xie Wei smiled looking at Tang Silin and speaking softly. Her tone was calm but every word was extremely sharp.

    “You…”

    Tang Silin was furious. She hadn’t expected Xie Wei to compare her to a prostitute implying she was only slightly cleaner than one.

    No woman would remain calm hearing such words.

    Moreover as a lesbian she had never been penetrated by a man. Xie Wei’s words were an insult to her.

    She initially wanted to lash out but quickly suppressed it “Miss Xie you certainly have a sharp tongue and a broad mind. Since that’s the case please excuse us. I’d like to have a good chat with Young Master Xu.”

    She deliberately emphasized the words “good chat” and looked at Xie Wei challengingly.

    She didn’t believe Xie Wei wouldn’t feel a bit upset.

    “Husband you two talk slowly. I’ll go back to the bedroom to change. We’ll go out later.”

    Xie Wei smiled at Xu Shaochen then got up and returned to the bedroom.

    “Xu Shaochen give me back the video. I can let bygones be bygones for everything that’s happened. Otherwise you’ve seen what happened to the Xiao Family. Qian Ya listens to me very well.”

    As soon as Xie Wei left Tang Silin’s face turned cold. She looked at Xu Shaochen and spoke in a chilling tone.

    Xu Shaochen picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth leisurely. He smiled calmly:

    “Miss Tang those words might scare others but I’m afraid they won’t scare me. How can I be compared to Xiao Huang? Moreover with the video in my hands you wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.”

    If he really gave the video to Tang Silin that would be digging his own grave.

    Without the video as a threat Tang Silin and Li Qian Ya would have no scruples.

    They might use the same trick they used on Xiao Huang to frame him.

    Xu Shaochen wasn’t that stupid.
