"Shentu Jing! You better get a wife or I'll spank your ass!" His father suddenly burst into the room, holding a ladle and pointing it at him.
Shentu Jing turned and glared at his elder brother who just shrugged his shoulders.
"Shentu Chu!" He growled.
"That's your problem for angering dad and grandpa. Don't look at me like that," Shentu Chu said and quickly ran away. He didn't want to become the one who would get squished in between this pair of father and son.
Before Shentu Jing could curse his brother, his father had hone in on him.
"Come back here! You brat! I have really spoilt you enough!" Shentu Dong held the ladle and chased after his son. Shentu Jing realized that Shentu Chu had set him up so that he could receive a beating from their father.
Damn you, Shentu Chu. Just you wait!
Shentu Jing ran around and around the sofa, sometimes changing direction and running counter clockwise to avoid his father.
"Dad! What are you doing!?" Shentu Jing yelled. Despite being middle aged, his father was still so active and fast. He almost hit Shentu Jing's butt with the ladle!
This scene of a middle aged man chasing a younger man looked so comedic that the maids and servants giggled. Their master and second young master are really crazy!
"I'm doing a good deed on behalf of the family. Since you always anger dad and do nonsense outside with that Peixuan young master, then I will teach you a lesson!" Shentu Dong took out one of his shoes and threw it at Shentu Jing. It bonged his back.
"Ow! Dad, you can't blame me for this. I really was busy!" Shentu Jing continued to dodge and run from his father.
"You naughty son! Don't let me catch you or I'll spank your ass!" Shentu Dong's face was red and he was slightly breathless.
Shentu Jing flung a pillow at his father and taunted him.
"You're so old! No wonder you can't catch me! Ha ha ha!" He did it on purpose to make him give up. But Shentu Dong was determined to spank this son of his. All day he plays with the Peixuan young master and seldom comes home.
That Peixuan Ruxi was known to be a crazy man who likes to get himself into trouble. He even opened bars and clubs to party all night. He was known as a disgrace to the Peixuan family.
And to think that he, Shentu Dong, passed the CEO seat to this son of his! What a waste! Maybe next time he should have passed it to Chu'er.
"What are you doing!?" A woman suddenly shrieked.
They were too caught up with their game of cat and mouse that they didn't hear her enter the house. The servants' faces paled when they saw her and quickly rushed off to work.
It turns out Shentu Dong's shoe had landed in front of her!
The father and son stopped in their tracks. Shentu Dong quickly put his ladle down, hid it behind his back and chuckled nervously.
"What is this ruckus!?" Her high heels clicked against the smooth marble floor as she headed towards them. Her domineering voice and aura made Shentu Dong gulped.
"It's him. He doesn't want to agree to dad's request," Shentu Dong threw his son under the bus, pointing a finger at Shentu Jing.
When Shentu Jing heard that, his eyes widened. Then he put on a pitiful look and made himself look miserable.
"They are forcing me to get married and have babies. Tell me, sis, I'm not ready for that yet. How can I settle down when I haven't achieved my goals in the business world? Dad even spanked my butt! It hurts!" Shentu Jing smoothly got himself out of the situation. He shot his father a naughty side glance.
"Y-you brat! I didn't even hit or touch you! You're slandering me. Ling'er, you have to believe father," Shentu Dong defended himself.
The woman pinched the space between her brows.
"Nuisance," she uttered. She picked up the shoe and flung it into her father's arms.
"Wear your shoe properly. If someone sees how unruly our family is, they are going to wonder how our Shentu family became the top family in Shengjing," Shentu Ling said.
Shentu Dong wore his shoe while listening to his daughter.
Shentu Ling was the eldest child in the Shentu family. She was a genius in accounting and business so the family gave her the freedom of choosing her career. She currently manages a part of the Shentu family's business and has even opened up her company that sells household items and foodstuffs. She wanted to make the lives of the middle income and lower income people better so she priced her items at an affordable price. Because of this, she won a few awards for being the youngest outstanding entrepreneur in Shengjing.
"Dad, the time is not ripe. When it is, Jing'er will naturally bring a beautiful wife home," Shentu Ling persuaded her father to stop pressuring Shentu Jing.
Shentu Dong obediently listened to his daughter. If there was anything that Shentu Dong was scared of, then that would be his daughter and father.
Shentu Ling was known as a devil in the family. She was fierce and bold. Just one look will send the entire family cowering in fear.
She has a soft spot for Shentu Jing. Shentu Ling always took Shentu Jing's side and liked to pamper him a lot, so their father couldn't do anything about it.
"Dad, sis, I have to go. I have something important to do," Shentu Jing yelled and left, fixing his handcuffs.
"That boy, why is he always so busy?" Shentu Dong muttered under his breath.
Shentu Jing got into the black Maybach. Han Juexian was waiting for him in the driver's seat.
The Maybach drove off into the night, blending into the shadows and becoming one.
"Sir, Liu Mo is dead," Han Juexian said.
Shentu Jing fiddled with the ring on his forefinger.
