"Xiao Man, stop it," Xu Xiucai smiled and reached out to hold Shen Man's hand.
In his opinion, Shen Man was merely holding on to her last bit of pitiful dignity.
The Xinke Materials Company was running normally, but that was because Shen Man had agreed to marry him. Otherwise, the company would've been broke by now. As long as the life and death of Xinke Materials were in his hands, he would be able to control Shen Man! She had to get into his bed today.
"Young Master Xu, you and I both know how our engagement came about. Why do you have to put on all these hypocritical shows? There's no need for me to meet your parents. I know why you've taken a fancy to me," Shen Man took a deep breath and gritted her teeth.
"After we get our marriage certificate, you can come to my apartment every weekend. As for other times, we don't have to be too close," Tears welled up in Shen Man's eyes as she said that. She turned around and was about to leave.
Tsk tsk, it seemed like she was another sacrifice for the family's interests.
Chen Yun sighed in his heart.
Such things were common in big families. Being born into a wealthy family and enjoying the glory and wealth brought by one's parents, one naturally had to accept the arrangements of the family.
Xu Xiucai's expression darkened and he grabbed Shen Man's wrist.
That's right, he was only interested in Shen Man's looks. To him, marrying Shen Man meant that he could enjoy the body of an ice-cold beauty to his heart's content and also become a much-envied topic of conversation in the circle of the rich second generations.
If it were as Shen Man had said, where would his dignity be if word got out?
"Today, you have to come with me!" Xu Xiucai stopped pretending and his expression turned cold.
"We can register our marriage any time, but you must be in my bed tonight!" His eyes were filled with greed and lust. His gaze wandered all over Shen Man's body without any restraint, making her feel uncomfortable.
"You have to do what you promised me first," Shen Man looked at Xu Xiucai in disgust and wanted to shake off his hand.
However, Xu Xiucai's grip tightened.
"Do you think you still have the capital to negotiate with me?" Xu Xiucai sneered in disdain.
"That's right. You're one of Ning'an City's four great beauties, the dream lover of countless men. But what if Xinke Materials dies? If I want you then, it's just a matter of a few words. Don't think too highly of yourself. You have to accept my invitation while I'm still being nice! Listen well! If you serve me well tonight, there won't be any problem injecting capital into Xinke Materials. Otherwise, just wait to be homeless!" Xu Xiucai's face was twisted with pleasure.
It made one wonder how many times Shen Man had rejected him that the kid's mentality was almost sick.
"If that's the case, then let's fight to the death. If the Xinke Group is gone, don't even think about touching even a strand of my hair," Shen Man was naturally not a simple-minded person since she was able to secure her position as the CEO of XInke Materials.
She understood that blindly compromising would only end up in vain, and Xu Xiucai would be insatiable.
"If the information I got is correct, Xinke Materials Company is still in debt of hundreds of millions, right? Once it closes down, will you be able to repay the debt? By then, will you or your dad go to jail?" Xu Xiucai sneered and looked at Shen Man with a playful expression.
Shen Man's face paled. How did Xu Xiucai know about the company's financial situation?
"So, you'd better listen to me," Xu Xiucai felt that he had already broken down Shen Man's psychological defense. He was extremely excited and unconsciously increased the strength in his hands.
"Let go, you're hurting her," Chen Yun said when he saw the pain on Shen Man's face.
He was in charge of Shen Man's safety, so naturally, he had to ensure that she was not injured at all.
Xu Xiucai turned his gaze to Chen Yun. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze was dangerous, "Who do you think you are? I'm talking to my fiancée. Who are you to interrupt?"
"I'm her bodyguard. Since you're hurting her, I have to stop you," He did not care about Xu Xiucai and Shen Man's relationship or business, but if his mission was not completed perfectly because of Xu Xiucai, wouldn't he become a laughingstock?
"Bodyguard?" Hearing Chen Yun's words, Xu Xiucai laughed out loud. He felt that it was ridiculous.
"You? A bodyguard? I can make you disappear with a single word!" Xu Xiucai glared viciously at Chen Yun. In Ning'an City, other than the elders in his family, no one else dared to speak to him like that!
"Alright, alright, don't shout in front of me. If you had the ability, why am I still alive and well even after all the threats that you've said?" Chen Yun's lips curled up as he looked at him with disdain.
Xu Xiucai's face was filled with disbelief. He, the young master of the Xu family and the number one young master in Ning'an City's commercial world, had just been looked down upon by a mere bodyguard?
"You're looking for death!" Xu Xiucai let go of Shen Man's hand and slapped Chen Yun's face in anger.
Chen Yun lazily shook his head. In his eyes, Xu Xiucai's slap was no different from slow motion.
Just as the palm was about to land on his face, he finally moved!
Chen Yun's hand shot out like lightning. He grabbed Xu Xiucai's hand and slapped him instead!
Pa!
A crisp sound was heard. Xu Xiucai was seeing stars from the slap, and his mind was completely blank.
To think there was someone in Ning'an City who dared to hit him?
Shen Man's red lips were also slightly agape. Chen Yun had actually made a move?
Xu Xiucai's face quickly became red and swollen, and his expression was ferocious.
"You bastard! How dare you hit me?!" Xu Xiucai roared in anger, but his voice stopped abruptly the next moment.
Pa!
Chen Yun gave him another slap on the other cheek.
"Not bad, it's symmetrical now," He size up the sorry state of the other party and nodded in satisfaction.
"Do you know what you're doing?" Shen Man pulled Chen Yun aside and questioned her in a low voice.
She had never given Xu Xiucai a smile, but she was also careful not to fall out with him.
"Teaching him a lesson. Don't you think he needs a lesson?" Chen Yun said matter-of-factly, not thinking much of Xu Xiucai at all.
"You're dead! You're dead! I'm going to tear you into pieces!" Xu Xiucai stomped his feet and cursed.
Chen Yun's brows furrowed slightly and took a step towards Xu Xiucai.
Xu Xiucai quickly shut his mouth and took a step back.
Shen Man was stunned. Xu Xiucai, who had always thought of himself as the boss of Ning'an City, was actually afraid? As expected, the rich were afraid of the violent, and the barefooted were not afraid of those wearing shoes.
However, she was also having a headache. Now that Chen Yun had beaten up Xu Xiucai, how was she going to end this?
"Are you going to his house? If you don't want to go, let's go," Chen Yun was also too lazy to dirty his hands. People like Xu Xiucai were not even considered ants in his eyes.
Shen Man hesitated for a moment before she gritted her teeth and nodded, "Let's go!"
She had been forced to marry Xu Xiucai, so she had to make her sacrifice worthwhile!
Xu Xiucai gritted his teeth as he stared at the back of the two leaving. His expression was twisted and his eyes were full of hatred.
After Chen Yun walked away, he took out his phone and made a call, "Brother Wu, arrange some men for me! I want to cripple someone!"
