Chapter 884: Opportunities Are Created By People

The next morning.

Xu Shaochen got up and faced Jenny’s murderously cold gaze.

Jenny found the whole thing both annoying and amusing.

A hot-blooded man had stripped her naked, piece by piece, and then locked her in the bathroom before leaving.

Does this mean she’s lost her charm? That’s how women think. If Xu Shaochen had done something to her at that time, she definitely would’ve resisted.

But since Xu Shaochen didn’t do anything to her, she started wondering if her attractiveness had decreased.

“Shaochen, how could you do something like that? What if Sister Jenny catches a cold?”

“Exactly! You didn’t even know how to joke around with some limits. If it weren’t for us, would Sister Jenny not have been stuck there all night?”

Xie Wei and Li Qianya criticized Xu Shaochen relentlessly. After all, women always stand on the same side.

“Cough, cough. It’s my fault. I’ll reflect on it.”

Xu Shaochen felt guilty because he had forgotten about Jenny last night and almost left her locked up all night.

In the end, it was Xie Wei and the others who, instead of sleeping, stayed up to sort through their shopping loot and freed Jenny from the bathroom.

But clearly, Jenny’s concern wasn’t about being locked in.

What bothered her was that Xu Shaochen stripped her and didn’t lay a single finger on her, which seemed like a blatant disregard for her attractiveness and her looks!

“Hmph! Someone missed an opportunity last night. And it won’t happen a second time.”

Jenny snorted softly as she cut her fried egg, glancing meaningfully at Xu Shaochen.

“Aunt, opportunities are created by people.”

Xu Shaochen responded with a cheerful smile. After all, he was very skilled at creating opportunities.

“We’ll see about that.”

Jenny scoffed. She believed that no one could really force her into anything.

Tap, tap, tap…

Just then, a bodyguard walked in.

“Miss, Young Master, someone is asking to see you outside. One of them is named Jones… and he’s sitting in a wheelchair.”

“Let them in,”

Xu Shaochen replied after thinking for a moment. To travel here in a wheelchair just to seek revenge… that kind of perseverance was admirable. How could he turn such a spirit away? Due to his respect for Jones’ determination, Xu Shaochen felt he must give him another thrashing.

“What did you do now?”

Jenny asked.

“I just gave his joints a little loosening. He’s probably here to thank me. I didn’t expect him to be so polite, rushing here to express his gratitude while still in a wheelchair.”

Xu Shaochen shook his head with a wry smile, sounding somewhat helpless.

“You know how to loosen joints?”

Jenny looked at Xu Shaochen in disbelief, not expecting him to have such a skill.

Li Qianya quickly chimed in, as she had personal experience: “Sister Jenny, he really does know! The last time I twisted my ankle…”

“And he fixed it for you?” Jenny asked.

Li Qianya shook her head: “He just used the pretense of keeping me warm to sleep with me.”

“…” Jenny.

“…” Xie Wei.

“…” Tang Silin.

The three women were speechless. This girl looked lovely, but why did she seem so naïve?

But Xu Shaochen didn’t share their thoughts. After all, if Li Qianya hadn’t been so naïve, it wouldn’t have been so easy for him to pull it off.

A moment later, Jones’ father wheeled Jones into the living room.

“You despicable bastard, I bet you didn’t expect this!”

Seeing Xu Shaochen, Jones’ eyes flared up with hatred.

If his leg wasn’t crippled, he probably would have jumped out of the wheelchair in fury.

“Shut up!”

His father sternly scolded.

“Yes, Father. With you here, I’ll just watch.”

Jones nodded, waiting for his father to exact revenge on his behalf.

Seeing Li Qianya and the other women, his eyes flickered with jealousy. Why did this lowly Chinese get to have so many beautiful women?

Especially Jenny! A woman like her, as flawless as an angel that had descended from the heavens, being with a mere Chinese man was an insult to their bloodline.

A beauty of Jenny’s caliber… only another white man like him could be her match.

But Jones couldn’t shake the feeling that Jenny looked familiar. He just couldn’t recall where he’d seen her before.

Jenny and the other women exchanged awkward glances. This clearly didn’t seem like a visit to express thanks.

“You’re already in a wheelchair, but you still have such a sharp tongue? I’d like to know if your mouth is tougher than your other leg.”

Xu Shaochen calmly cut into his food with a knife and fork as he addressed Jones indifferently.

“Honorable Xu, please forgive my son’s outburst. We’ve come today to sincerely apologize. I hope you won’t hold a grudge against us. My son has already lost one leg; he’s paid the price for his past mistakes.”

Jones’ father took a deep breath and clasped his hands in front of his stomach as he bowed deeply to Xu Shaochen.

Both Xu Shaochen and Jones froze.

Jones hadn’t expected his father to come here to apologize.

Xu Shaochen also hadn’t expected them to come and apologize.

“Father, what are you doing! Why are you apologizing to this lowly Chinese man? I’m here for revenge! I want to see him punished!”

Jones became visibly agitated. He couldn’t believe that this supposed revenge trip had turned into apologizing to the very person he despised most, a Chinese man. How could he endure that?

“Slap!”

Jones’ father slapped him across the face, his voice cold as he shouted, “Fool! Shut your mouth right now! Haven’t you already caused enough trouble?”

“But he’s a Chinese!” Jones clutched the armrests of his wheelchair, his hands trembling from the burning pain of the slap, his knuckles turning white.

Jones’ father looked at him coldly: “Apologize.”

“I’ll never bow my head to some lowly Chinese!”

Jones muttered with eyes full of fury, glaring at Xu Shaochen as though he wished to skin him alive.

Xu Shaochen’s expression grew icy.

“You fool! He’s the heir to the Xu Corporation! Apologize immediately!”

Jones’ father raised his voice. He now regretted not telling his son who Xu Shaochen was beforehand.

But he knew his son too well. If Jones had known about Xu Shaochen’s status, he definitely wouldn’t have come here, out of sheer fear.

Jones was utterly stunned, his face as white as a sheet. He now realized why Jenny looked familiar.

Never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined Xu Shaochen was the heir to the Xu Corporation.

Remembering his words and actions from before, all of it almost made him faint from sheer terror.

After a long pause, he stammered, “Xu… Honorable Xu… I… I’m sorry. Last night was all just a big misunderstanding. Please, you must forgive me.”

At this point, he was filled with unease. The grip of his hands on the wheelchair’s armrests tightened so much that it looked like his fingers would break through the material.

“So, last night was a misunderstanding? What about what you just called me?”

Xu Shaochen flashed him a cold smile, his tone unbelievably calm.
