Chapter 779: I’m About to Start Showing Off

“Since it’s about parental approval and matchmaking, why don’t you, Uncle Li, just promise Little Ya to me now?”

Xu Shaochen said to Li Tianming with a smile, beaming brightly and sincerely.

Sigh, he should thank these people. They’ve come all this way just to help him score points.

After last night’s personal verification, Li Qian Ya was simply exquisite.

Xu Shaochen strongly condemned the act of wasting such a premium resource on lesbianism.

So he might as well suffer a bit himself. At worst, he’d have to nourish his kidneys more in the future to keep her.

Li Qian Ya’s eyes widened instantly. The hand holding Xu Shaochen’s arm started employing the Nine Yin White Bone Claw technique to pinch him.

She hadn’t expected this bastard to take advantage of the situation.

In this situation, could she dare to object?

She had just said Xu Shaochen was her boyfriend. If she stood up to object now, wouldn’t it imply she had been messing around outside?

Forget about the Li Qiancheng bunch of bastards, even her own parents wouldn’t let her off.

So she could only swallow her pride, cursing Xu Shaochen a hundred times in her heart.

Meanwhile, she channeled her intense “love” into strength, pinching him hard.

In an instant, everyone’s gaze focused on Xu Shaochen.

Xu Shaochen endured the pain in his arm, still wearing a smile on his face.

What’s a little pain compared to winning the beauty?

At worst, he’d give her a few extra shots at night as punishment (σ≧≦)σ

“Nonsense! Who do you think you are? Marrying Little Ya to you? You’re not worthy!”

“The men our Li family women marry have always been either rich or noble, a match in status. What’s your background? Are you worthy of our Li family? Are you worthy of Little Ya?”

Li Qiancheng had been waiting for this. His face darkened as he angrily berated Xu Shaochen.

This was not only insulting Xu Shaochen but also criticizing Li Qian Ya’s poor judgment.

Yang Hui had called him last night and told him.

Li Qian Ya had found a man, an outsider who seemed to have some money.

Li Qiancheng naturally wouldn’t take Xu Shaochen seriously. Just an outsider, what was there to be wary of?

What he didn’t know was that Yang Hui had tricked him.

Yang Hui had deliberately been vague on the Phone, saying he was an outsider who seemed to have some money, but craftily avoided mentioning Xu Shaochen’s name.

This happened to be the most crucial point.

It was to mislead Li Qiancheng, making him cause trouble for Xu Shaochen and Li Qian Ya.

Yang Hui knew Li Qiancheng would definitely fall for it.

Because Li Tianming only had one daughter, Li Qiancheng still coveted the heir’s position, barely concealing his ambition.

He feared Li Tianming would bring in a son-in-law, so he was very concerned about Li Qian Ya’s marriage. He was determined to marry her off to a family of equal status to strengthen his own position through the alliance.

Bringing in a son-in-law meant the man would become part of the Li family. Li Tianming might pass the family head position to him, causing another series of complications.

But marrying Li Qian Ya off would be different. A married daughter is like spilled water. To some extent, Li Qian Ya would become an outsider to the Li family.

From then on, she would no longer have a say in major matters like the Li family’s succession.

“That’s right, you should take a good look at yourself. Thinking of climbing our Li family’s high branch? I advise you to give up that idea early!”

“You don’t know your own limits. You really think anyone can be our Li family’s son-in-law!”

Others also mocked Xu Shaochen coldly, their words brimming with undisguised contempt and derision.

Li Qian Ya watched these people jump up and down with interest. Knowing Xu Shaochen’s identity, she now wanted to see these clowns’ faces when they got slapped.

Just thinking about it excited her, and she pinched Xu Shaochen’s arm even harder.

“Oh? I wonder what are the hard requirements for becoming your Li family’s son-in-law?”

Xu Shaochen endured the pain in his arm, appearing calm and collected, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Although it hurt, he couldn’t let his image slip.

“Huh, what? You really think a toad like you can eat swan meat?”

Li Qiancheng sneered, looking at Xu Shaochen with a playful gaze.

He was very curious about what gave an outsider the courage to have such a bold idea.

“A toad that doesn’t want to eat swan meat isn’t a good toad. Everyone needs to have some dreams, right?”

Xu Shaochen said with a smile, maintaining his harmless and gentle demeanor.

With just one sentence, he looked easy to bully.

“Fine, I’ll tell you straight. Let you despair early and recognize the gap between you and our Li family.”

Li Qiancheng looked at Xu Shaochen with a mocking expression: “I won’t bother with any soft power talk. Your class wouldn’t understand. One question: does your family have assets over a hundred billion?”

Others also looked at Xu Shaochen with schadenfreude.

In China, having over a hundred billion in visible assets meant being a notable figure.

At least they hadn’t seen Xu Shaochen among them.

“Well…” Xu Shaochen looked troubled, shaking his head after a while: “No.”

He was indeed troubled. He didn’t even know how much assets he had, but it certainly wasn’t just a hundred billion. At least it should be in the trillions, right?

“No? If not, why are you still daydreaming? Get as far away as possible right now!”

Li Qiancheng shouted angrily.

“No… I don’t have a hundred billion in assets. Would a trillion be okay?” Xu Shaochen asked “shyly” looking very embarrassed.

Li Qian Ya was dumbfounded. Damn, brother, your act is refreshingly unique.

“What did you say? A trillion? Hahaha, you’re killing me. Kid, do you know what you’re saying?”

“Right, you’re killing me. The trillion you’re talking about must be in game currency… no, it must be hell money.”

“This is the funniest joke I’ve heard this year.”

The people behind Li Qiancheng burst into laughter, looking at Xu Shaochen as if he were a clown.

Mr. and Mrs. Li Tianming also frowned, feeling that Xu Shaochen was talking nonsense.

“Little Ya, your taste in men really worries me as your brother. How did you end up picking someone with a mental disorder, suffering from delusions?”

Li Qiancheng sneered, shaking his head and speaking to Li Qian Ya in a sarcastic tone.

“Husband, they don’t believe you. What should we do?”

Li Qian Ya shook Xu Shaochen’s arm, speaking in a coquettish voice that made Xu Shaochen’s skin crawl.

Li Tianming’s face darkened. Raising such a daughter had completely disgraced him. She really… really had no sense of shame!

“When someone insists on bringing their face for me to slap, what can I do? I’m at a loss too.”

Xu Shaochen sighed, looking very troubled as he took out his Phone.

Everyone step aside, I’m about to start showing off.
