Xiao Chen looked Xiao Wan up and down and began to speak calmly.
"Is it worth showing off the riches you acquired if it was through selling out your family?"
Xiao Wan's face turned pale as she gritted her teeth.
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Chen ignored her. Holding Ziyi's hand, they entered the Tang manor courtyard.
"You—more than anyone—should know what I mean. Remember, on the day of our grandfather's birthday anniversary, everything your two families owe me will be paid back."
Xiao Wan gritted her teeth even harder, clenching her hands into fists as she responded coldly:
"Xiao Chen, stop pretending to be someone you're not! The Su family won't accept you! Without Su Ruoxue, you are nothing! You want revenge, but you're no match for our families!"
Soon as she spoke, she sneered and waddled back toward her boyfriend's car.
Inside the Tang manor, Su Ruoxue had already arrived and was waiting. The event tonight was extremely important to her company, and she did not dare show up late.
With Su Ruoxue's beauty appearing at the Tang family banquet, it was needless to say that she would inevitably attract all kinds of birds and bees.
Several men decked out in Armani and Kiton suits approached to banter with her, surrounding her with their presence.
Helplessly, Su Ruoxue faced them with a cold demeanor. Even then, they wouldn't let her go!
What if she cracked?
She was one of the four major flowers of Jiangbei! As long as there was a chance to get close to her, it would create the foundations for any future friendships and opportunities!
After Xiao Chen and his daughter entered, Xiao Ziyi instantly saw Su Ruoxue.
She suddenly beamed and pointed to Su Ruoxue excitedly:
"Daddy! It's Auntie Ruoxue!"
Hearing her voice, Su Ruoxue was puzzled. She followed the voice and was overjoyed to see Xiao Chen and Xiao Ziyi.
Afterward, she left the crowd with a smile and headed straight for Xiao Chen.
The surrounding parties were heartbroken.
"Why are you guys here?"
Xiao Chen shrugged.
"We're here for the free food. But I didn't think I would see a certain someone; so popular too."
Su Ruoxue instantly blushed as she rolled her eyes.
"You only know how to make fun of me! I wasn't planning on interacting with them; they're the ones clinging onto me!"
"Well, being pursued by people is always good. At least, much better than being ignored!"
Su Ruoxue pursed her lips.
"I don't want to be chased by them. These men are like flies, I'm so disgusted! You don't know, they hover around me so much, I can barely breathe!"
"I understand."
Xiao Chen uttered calmly.
The two were at ease as they chatted away. To outsiders, they seemed like a couple of lovers, which made the young men at the party glare at them with murderous intent.
Su Ruoxue was the dream partner of numerous people!
But how many people had she flat out rejected?
Although Xiao Chen was quite handsome, nobody had ever heard of his name. Plus, he had a ball and chain attached to his side, too.
No matter how they looked at it, his background wasn't good enough for Su Ruoxue!
What a pity that Xiao Chen could talk with Su Ruoxue so comfortably. Could these arrogant young men stomach the sight?
Soon, several young men adorned in brand-name suits began closing in.
"Sir, may I ask where you are from?"
Xiao Chen glanced at them and spoke:
"Why should I tell you?"
The spectators chuckled.
"No matter how you look at it, you're the man who stole Su Ruoxue from our hands. Yet, you don't even dare tell us your name?"
"It's not that I don't dare to… It's only that you stray dogs aren't qualified to know my name."
The spectators were silent.
"You motherf*cker, who do you think you are? We're not that easily offended!"
Su Ruoxue crinkled her brows and coldly exclaimed:
"What do you guys want to do? If any of you dare to upset my friend, I won't show mercy!"
It was probably better if Su Ruoxue didn't step up to protect Xiao Chen. As soon as she stepped up, everyone was even more annoyed.
After all, they had disturbed Xiao Chen in the first place because of jealousy.
"Miss Su, my apologies, but we can't listen to you."
"Not bad. This man is able to meet your standards. You guys must have a special bond; we just want to understand it more."
"You guys..."
Su Ruoxue wanted to continue as Xiao Chen pulled her behind him. He gave her a look that said he would deal with it and for her to stay quiet.
She took a deep breath. These guys were about to suffer.
Xiao Chen handed his daughter to her and placed a hand in his pocket before approaching the young men.
"Normally, I don't bother with small fries like you. It lowers my worth!"
"But… I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you the honor."
"You f*cking poser...!"
One of the men couldn't contain it anymore and sent a 'greeting' to Xiao Chen's mom. Without mercy, Xiao Chen whipped out his leg and sent the man flying with a loud bang.
The other men began to fume with anger after seeing this. Without holding back, they began charging at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen remained calm as he sent them all flying with one leg.
At this moment, a couple entered the Tang manor's gates, only to be knocked out by a flying body.
"Ah—! F*ck, who did this!"
"It hurts, Jie, it hurts so much!"
Su Ruoxue glanced over and couldn't help changing her expression.
"Tang Jiajie? Xiao Wan!"
She hurriedly approached Xiao Chen.
"Xiao Chen, we're in trouble!"
Xiao Chen looked over and spoke calmly:
"I just hit two useless people along the way, no big deal."
"It's not like that!"
Anxiously, Su Ruoxue continued:
"That Tang Jiajie is the third generation heir of the Tang family. And he's one of grandpa Tang's most favorite grandsons! Plus, a few days ago, I fired Xiao Wan and caused some tension between us… I'm afraid she won't let us off so easy..."
"So what?"
Xiao Chen took his daughter from Su Ruoxue's arms, indifferent to the situation.
Su Ruoxue once again warned him:
"Xiao Chen, I know you're very capable, so capable even Grandmaster Chen isn't your match. But my Grandpa Tang is different! He is a magical doctor; top tier in all of the Yan Kingdom and even in the world! Who knows how much nobility in the Yan Kingdom receive treatment from him. He has much more power behind him than Grandmaster Chen. Please listen to me. Later on, no matter what, you have to say something nice, and make sure things don't escalate!"
