Chapter 813: I Stand Outside
by xennovelHe never expected Scarface would call him.
Not only did he find out his identity, but also managed to get his personal number.
This bastard, even if he’s a bit dumb, the waters behind him run deep.
“You better be careful not to end up out there again in a few days after escaping last night.”
Xu Shaochen’s tone was calm. After his initial surprise, he had already composed himself.
“Hahaha, Young Master Xu, no need for your concern. Don’t worry, we will see each other again.”
Scarface laughed arrogantly.
Xu Shaochen smiled, released Tang Silin’s hand, gave her a warning look, and then patted Xie Wei.
Xie Wei obediently started to help him dress. Xu Shaochen said, “We will definitely meet again. I just wonder if it’ll be me standing outside, while you lie in a coffin.”
“Heh, sharp tongue. We’ll see how it goes. The plane’s about to take off. Bye.”
With that, Scarface hung up the phone.
“Beep~ Beep~ Beep~”
Hearing the disconnected tone, Xu Shaochen curled his lips and tossed the phone aside.
Although Xu Shaochen was vigilant about Scarface’s threat, he didn’t take it too seriously.
Even if Scarface wanted revenge, it would take some time. It wouldn’t happen right away.
After all, having just escaped, if he stirred up trouble too soon, even the King of Heaven couldn’t protect him.
However, Xu Shaochen was curious about one thing: Who exactly was this Scarface?
He had just been arrested, yet managed to escape by dawn. The people rescuing him even used heavy firepower, killing several police officers. These were no ordinary criminals.
Normal criminals get scared just at the sight of police, let alone engaging in a gunfight.
“Ah!”
Just as he was lost in thought, a sharp pain hit his shoulder, and he let out a cry.
“Bastard! Go to hell!”
Tang Silin had sunk her teeth deeply into Xu Shaochen’s shoulder, biting hard enough that blood was drawn.
“Sister Silin!”
Li Qianya and Xie Wei both froze, then rushed to pull Tang Silin away, leaving a deep row of bloody teeth marks on Xu Shaochen’s shoulder.
“Are you a dog? You didn’t resist last night either!”
Xu Shaochen gasped at the pain, eyeing his shoulder. Damn, does this woman not recognize people after pulling up their pants?
“Nonsense! With what you did last night, how could I have resisted?!”
Tang Silin shouted angrily, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, glaring at Xu Shaochen with eyes that could kill.
This was something she would remember for the rest of her life. A man’s words are full of lies. He had clearly promised that things wouldn’t go too far.
“Sister Silin, let it go. Let’s just pretend it was a dog bite,” Li Qianya consoled Tang Silin. That’s what she told herself back then too.
Xu Shaochen chuckled, rubbing his shoulder. “Yeah, I did get bit by a dog, and it even drew blood. I just hope this dog’s had its vaccines. I don’t want to get infected.”
“Xu! I’m more afraid of you fooling around and giving me syphilis!” Tang Silin snapped, feeling like he was shamelessly taking advantage of her.
Xie Wei glared at Xu Shaochen. “Get out. Haven’t you caused enough trouble already?”
Xu Shaochen blinked. Ah, women were really something. At least she remembered to leave the door open for him last night.
Xie Wei and Li Qianya were clearly trying to comfort Tang Silin now. After all, Tang Silin hadn’t yet wrapped her mind around all this.
“I know what you’re thinking, but let me tell you: it’s impossible. Even if I starve to death, end up alone my whole life, or fall to my death from here, I will never fall for a man! Nor will I ever submit to one!”
Tang Silin declared firmly, with absolute confidence and finality.
Li Qianya had clearly noticed the recent changes in Tang Silin’s behavior. She thought to herself: She sounds so sure now, but I bet she’ll regret it.
After all, as far as modern philosopher Wang said, nobody can escape ‘Fragrance’s Law.’
“Sister Silin, the more I look at him, the angrier I get. I’ll take you home.”
Li Qianya threw a look at Xu Shaochen. Xie Wei joined too, and they all left the bedroom together.
“You should just forget this whole idea. Think of it as a brief affair. Don’t get any more thoughts about it.”
Xie Wei remarked, looking at Xu Shaochen. In her eyes, trying to win over Tang Silin was like a hell-level difficulty task.
Xu Shaochen shrugged indifferently. “Weiwei, you always say women understand women best, but Tang Silin is different. She’s not a woman… at least not a normal one.”
“Go on then, continue. I’d love to hear what absurd theories you have this time!” Xie Wei rolled her eyes playfully.
Xu Shaochen cleared his throat, glancing instinctively back at the bedroom. “Tang Silin is into women. Barring any surprises, I’m the first and only man in her life. Whether she likes it or not, she won’t forget me.”
“With that as a foundation, it’s just a matter of time before I win her over.”
Class was in session again. Kid, if you keep failing with girls, it’s probably because you’re not smooth enough. Watch how Teacher Xu has new tricks up his sleeve.
“Really? I think your foundation might be too shaky. Adding any more might just make it collapse faster.”
At that moment, a cold voice interrupted.
Xu Shaochen turned his head and saw that at some point, Tang Silin had appeared in the doorway, looking at him with an icy stare.
Clearly, she had heard everything he said just now.
Even with Xu Shaochen’s thick skin, he couldn’t help but feel a little awkward.
“Ahem… I was talking about building a factory, laying the foundation, and then adding layers. It’s got nothing to do with you.”
A forced explanation is the most deadly one.
Tang Silin shot him a cold, mocking look before striding out of the room in her high heels.
Obviously, the next round of their battle was about to begin.
Xu Shaochen smugly thought Tang Silin was already his.
Tang Silin thought Xu Shaochen was hopelessly deluded.
What remained was the long tug-of-war that would follow.
After seeing Li Qianya and Tang Silin off, Xu Shaochen called Chen Dongqiu and Sun Hai.
He told them to come to Jingcheng today and catch a flight to Mg Country tomorrow.
Xu Shaochen felt a bit excited.
After all, tomorrow he would meet his so-called little aunt, with whom he had only ever spoken over the phone.
As for the rich families Jenny mentioned, Xu Shaochen didn’t care. Could they possibly be more important than meeting my little aunt?
Besides, this was a little aunt with no blood relation to him. A blonde-haired, blue-eyed, long-legged aunt, no less ((≡≡)).
Time flew by, and soon it was noon. Since they were flying to Mg Country tomorrow morning, Chen Ju and the others held a farewell banquet for Xu Shaochen at lunch.
Deng Tianwen and Hou Xiaoyan wouldn’t be joining him on this trip to Mg Country. They planned to spend two more days in Jingcheng before heading back northwest to meet the parents.
By noon, everyone Xu Shaochen knew in Jingcheng had gathered.
