Chapter 792: I Don’t Amount to Much

“Uncle Wang, I can make this decision on my own. No matter what my family thinks, I’m definitely calling off this engagement.”

Chen Ju’s attitude was very firm. He didn’t want Wang Yao to keep going out to do her hair after they got married.

Seeing that Chen Ju was dead set on his decision, the Wang Family members’ faces darkened.

They felt they had already done enough, and Chen Ju seemed ungrateful, as if their daughter from the Wang Family couldn’t get married.

“Chen Ju, where does this leave our Wang Family’s face?”

Wang Xian coldly questioned, not even bothering to use the term ‘Young Master’ anymore.

“That’s your problem, what does it have to do with me? Also, while you’re thinking about your Wang Family’s face, you’d better ask that good daughter of yours where she put our Chen Family’s face?”

When Chen Ju mentioned Wang Yao, he didn’t hide his disgust and contempt.

Hearing this, the Wang Family members’ expressions became uncertain.

It seemed that Chen Ju wanted to break off the engagement because of Wang Yao.

“Chen Ju, I don’t know what Yao Yao did, and I don’t care what she did. This engagement cannot be broken off!”

“The whole of Jingcheng knows that our Wang Family’s daughter is engaged to you. If you break it off now, how will Yao Yao face others in the future? Won’t our Wang Family become the laughingstock of the entire Jingcheng?”

A middle-aged man stood up angrily, pointing at Chen Ju and shouting emotionally.

“Alright, your spit is about to fly onto my face. If nothing unexpected happens, your Wang Family will become the laughingstock of the entire Jingcheng tomorrow. Thanks to you, our Chen Family has also hitched a ride on this express train.”

Xu Shaochen casually swatted away the middle-aged man’s finger as he spoke.

With so many people witnessing the incident at the Meilan clubhouse tonight, it would probably spread throughout Jingcheng’s upper circles by early tomorrow morning.

“Who do you think you are? You have no right to speak here. Get out with your sarcastic remarks!”

The middle-aged man glared at Xu Shaochen angrily. Since when did an outsider have a say in their Wang Family’s affairs?

“I may not amount to much, but I advise you to be more polite when speaking to me. Otherwise, your Wang Family won’t just become the laughingstock of Jingcheng, but also a lesson for the entire city.”

Xu Shaochen chuckled lightly, speaking as casually as if he were having a friendly chat.

“Hahaha! You ignorant boy, you don’t know your place. Did you come here specifically to make us laugh?”

The middle-aged man burst into laughter, and the other Wang Family members also showed sneering expressions.

Xu Shaochen’s lips curled into a mocking smile: “Since you’re laughing so happily, let me tell you another joke to make you laugh even more.”

“Wang Yao was just caught having an affair with someone at the Meilan clubhouse. What a coincidence that we happened to run into her. Your Wang Family has really raised a fine daughter.”

“Or perhaps, is this just the family tradition of your Wang Family?”

Boom!

As Xu Shaochen’s words fell, the Wang Family members’ faces changed drastically.

“Impossible! Yao Yao may be a bit mischievous, but she knows her limits. Who are you to come here and spread such baseless rumors?”

Wang Xian was extremely agitated. After all, Wang Yao was his daughter. If she really did such a thing, it would truly bring shame to their Wang Family.

Xu Shaochen didn’t speak, the mockery on his face growing more intense.

“Uncle Wang, why else do you think I want to break off the engagement? Because I’m in a bad mood?”

Chen Ju said coldly.

The atmosphere in the living room instantly fell into silence.

After the initial anger and agitation, as they calmed down, everyone analyzed that this incident was highly probable.

Otherwise, Chen Ju’s attitude wouldn’t have changed so drastically.

“That damned girl!”

Wang Xian almost squeezed these four words out through his teeth, feeling like he had lost all face.

The others remained silent.

“Nephew, don’t worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter.”

Wang Xian took a deep breath, feeling he couldn’t save face anymore, then sternly ordered a young man: “Go, bring that damned girl back immediately. Now!”

“Yes, Uncle. I’ll go right away.”

The young man quickly left as soon as he finished speaking, knowing the gravity of the situation.

If this matter wasn’t handled well, not only would the Wang Family lose face, but they might also fall out with the Chen Family.

After the young man left, the atmosphere in the living room remained very tense.

“Nephew… please, have a seat.”

Wang Xian said to Chen Ju, directly ignoring Xu Shaochen beside him.

After all, they didn’t like Xu Shaochen’s attitude earlier, and those words came from his mouth.

Xu Shaochen didn’t mind, casually pulling over a chair and sitting down.

“Hmph! Some people really have no shame. One might think this was their own home.”

Someone sarcastically remarked, glaring at Xu Shaochen.

“Hehe, when it comes to shamelessness, I can’t compare to your Wang Family. After all, you raised such a fine woman as Wang Yao.”

Xu Shaochen replied nonchalantly.

“How dare you!”

In an instant, everyone became enraged.

“You’re the ones who are outrageous. I’m not looking down on you, but I could crush your Wang Family with money alone. Believe it or not?”

Xu Shaochen scoffed, sweeping his gaze over everyone, clearly not taking them seriously.

“You…”

“Enough! Why bother arguing with an ignorant boy who doesn’t know his place?”

Wang Xian spoke up to end the topic, but also coldly glanced at Xu Shaochen.

About twenty minutes later, Wang Yao, the handprint on her face still visible, returned with the young man from earlier.

Wang Yao was pale and walked very slowly, clearly nervous and afraid.

“Dad…”

Wang Yao called out to Wang Xian timidly.

“Did you really do those despicable things?”

Although Wang Xian had already come to a conclusion in his heart, he still clung to a last shred of hope, or perhaps he was just deceiving himself.

“Thud!”

Wang Yao shuddered in fear and directly fell to her knees, crying heartbreakingly.

“Dad, I was wrong. It was all my mistake. Please forgive me, Dad. I won’t dare do it again, I really won’t. From now on, I’ll do whatever you tell me to do.”

This undoubtedly confirmed what Xu Shaochen had just said.

The Wang Family members were both shocked and angry.

“How dare you! How dare you! You’ve brought shame to our entire Wang Family!”

Wang Xian was furious. He picked up a nearby feather duster and mercilessly struck Wang Yao.

“Ah! Dad, stop hitting me! Please stop! Stop! I was wrong!”

Wang Yao kept begging for mercy, looking extremely pathetic.

“I’ll beat you to death, you wretched girl! I’ll teach you to go out and embarrass us!”

But Wang Xian turned a deaf ear, or rather, he was beating her for Chen Ju to see.
