Chapter 996: Not What I Expected

“You don’t want to either? Who do you think you are? You’re Zhao Chen’s wife, who would dare to force you!”

“Yuxiu, Yuxiu, I really didn’t expect you’d do something so shameless. How do you think this makes Zhao Chen look?”

Xiao Die, of course, wouldn’t let Yuxiu explain. After all, her goal was to paint Yuxiu as a promiscuous woman.

This way, Zhao Chen would definitely divorce her.

By then, she, the ‘heroine’, might have the chance to swoop in and take advantage.

Even if she couldn’t marry Zhao Chen and become a rich wife, getting a sum of money wouldn’t be bad either.

“Enough. Stop making a fuss here. Zhao Chen already knows about this. Why are you meddling in this?”

Xu Shaochen looked at Xiao Die impatiently. He didn’t know her full plan, but he could tell her intentions weren’t pure.

“Zhao Chen knows?”

Xiao Die was dumbfounded for a moment before she snapped out of it and sneered: “You expect me to believe such a ridiculous story? Let me tell you, I’m going to inform Zhao Chen!”

She didn’t believe for a second that Zhao Chen knew.

If Zhao Chen knew, how could these two still be here flaunting their affection?

After all, no one could tolerate their own wife being ambiguously involved with another man.

Especially someone like Zhao Chen, who had such a prestigious status.

So, Xu Shaochen’s words? She didn’t believe them at all.

“Whether you believe it or not doesn’t matter to me. Now, can you leave? You’re really an eyesore standing here.”

Xu Shaochen looked at Xiao Die seriously. This woman was extremely aggravating.

“You!” Xiao Die fumed with anger and turned to Yuxiu, saying, “It’s bad enough that you cheated, but to choose this guy? When did your standards drop so low?”

“What part of him even compares to Zhao Chen?”

Xu Shaochen’s face darkened: “Say that again, if you dare.”

“I said, Yuxiu’s standards have dropped. She’s actually interested in the likes of you. She must be blind!”

Xiao Die showed no fear. After all, she believed that Zhao Chen would back her up.

“Smack!”

Xu Shaochen stood and delivered a slap across her face: “Don’t comment on things you don’t understand. Don’t you know a simple truth like that? Now, leave!”

Feeling the burning pain on her face, Xiao Die was both shocked and furious: “You…you actually dared to hit me! I’ll have you know, Zhao Chen won’t let you two adulterers off!”

“Zhao Chen’s probably hiding in some corner somewhere. Ask him if he’s brave enough to face me.”

Xu Shaochen sneered in disdain. Nowadays, just hearing Zhao Chen’s name made him want to laugh.

So arrogant, yet he tripped in his own mess.

“You…you just wait! I’m going to call him right now and tell him everything!”

Xiao Die angrily bit her lip, took out her phone, and immediately dialed Zhao Chen’s number.

“Ring…Ring…”

The busy tone echoed from her phone.

“I’ll give you one last chance. Kneel down and beg me now, and maybe I’ll consider not telling him everything.”

While the call was still connecting, Xiao Die taunted Xu Shaochen with arrogance.

“Hello.”

At that moment, the call was answered, and Zhao Chen’s somewhat low voice came through the phone.

“It’s too late for begging now!”

Xiao Die, covering the phone, glared at Xu Shaochen and said through gritted teeth. Then she sweetly said to Zhao Chen: “Young Master Zhao, it’s me, Xiao Die, Yuxiu’s classmate.”

She spoke while observing Xu Shaochen and Yuxiu, but neither of them showed any signs of fear.

Feeling a bit disappointed, she smirked inwardly. Let’s see how long you two can keep up the act.

“What’s up?” Zhao Chen’s tone was unfriendly. Just hearing Yuxiu’s name these days made his mood sour.

Those two words constantly reminded him of the massive humiliation he wore on his head.

What hurt the most was that Yuxiu was the one who delivered the final blow.

“Young Master Zhao, I have something to tell you. You might want to prepare yourself mentally.”

Xiao Die said cautiously.

“Spit it out already. Or do you want me to hang up?”

Zhao Chen responded irritably. His temper had grown worse recently.

“Young Master Zhao, Yuxiu is cheating on you. I saw her with another man at a restaurant. This is 100% true.”

Xiao Die hurriedly blurted out in a quick tone.

“F*ck off!”

Zhao Chen stayed silent for a moment before he roared in anger and hung up the call.

He already bore wounds, and Xiao Die’s call was like pouring salt on them, intensifying his pain.

It felt like Yuxiu had sent her to taunt him, to provoke him.

“Ring…Ring…”

Xiao Die stood there, listening to the busy tone coming from her phone, frozen in place for a long time. Her mind went blank.

What…what just happened.

Wasn’t I helping him out?

Why did he curse me out instead? This isn’t how it was supposed to go in my head.

“Idiot is just idiot. I’ll also give you the title of ‘Young Master Zhao’. Get lost, don’t embarrass yourself here anymore.”

Xu Shaochen stared at Xiao Die with mockery, looking at her like she was an idiot, a hint of pity in his eyes for her IQ.

“You…you won’t be so smug for long! Young Master Zhao must not have heard clearly. He’ll definitely come after you!”

Xiao Die snapped, quickly dialing Zhao Chen’s number again.

She felt like something must’ve gone wrong.

Otherwise, why would Zhao Chen react like that towards her?

After all, no man could tolerate being humiliated like that.

There’s no way someone could be that strong! “Young Master Zhao…”

“Are you done yet? Did Yuxiu send you to humiliate me? Get lost. Find somewhere cold to hide in and stay there!”

This time, Zhao Chen interrupted Xiao Die before she could finish, and then he hung up on her again.

“Ring…Ring…”

For a second time, Xiao Die blankly stared at her phone, completely dumbfounded.

What the hell is going on?

It sounds like Zhao Chen really knows about this.

If that’s the case, why isn’t he doing anything about it? Do rich people have such weird tastes? No, if he were doing it for the thrill, he wouldn’t be so angry.

“Idiot. Even if I slept with his wife, Zhao Chen wouldn’t dare challenge me. Where do you get the gall to act up in front of me?”

Xu Shaochen coldly said as he glared at Xiao Die.

Upon hearing this, everything clicked for Xiao Die. She finally understood.

The reason Zhao Chen knows but hasn’t reacted.

It’s because Zhao Chen can do nothing about it. The other person is more powerful than he is.
