“Chu Yuan, I didn’t come here for that matter.”
“If you have something to say, say it. If you have nonsense to spew, spit it out. I’m very busy. I don’t have time to stand here and play with you.” Chu Yuan waved his hand impatiently.
“Chu Yuan, what kind of attitude is that? I came here early dawn to wait for you, and this is how you speak to me?”
His dismissive tone only made Chen Xue, who was already upset, even more dissatisfied. She had originally intended to talk calmly, but now her anger flared uncontrollably.
“My attitude is bad?”
“I am the young master of the Chu Family in Magic City. With just one word from me, the women willing to chat with me could circle Magic City three times.”
“And what are you? How dare you lecture me?”
“Do you believe that with a single sentence, I can bankrupt the Chen Family and turn you into a beggar on the streets?” Chu Yuan sneered.
This Chen Xue was still living in a dream. Did she really think he was still the obedient lapdog who followed her every command? When the Chu Family was enraged, bodies would pile up. Today, Chu Yuan was going to make it clear that not just any stray cat or dog could run wild in front of the young master of the Chu Family.
“You… I…” Frightened by his intimidation, Chen Xue stammered, unable to form a sentence. Her eyes grew moist with grievance.
Chu Yuan showed no intention of indulging her and said coldly, “If you don’t speak, I’ll assume you don’t exist. I’m leaving.”
“Stop!” Chen Xue took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. “I came to tell you that I do not agree to cancel our engagement.”
“Don’t misunderstand. I have no interest in you, and I will never like you, let alone marry you.”
“At worst… I’ll suffer a little loss. We… we can still be ordinary friends.”
“What? Is my hearing failing me?” Chu Yuan scoffed. “You say the engagement won’t be canceled just because you say so? Do you think this is a children’s game, changing your mind every day?”
“Once I say something, there is no taking it back. Our engagement was already written off. From today onward, we have no relationship whatsoever.”
Chu Yuan found that female leads like Chen Xue lacked both intelligence and emotional awareness. He could not understand what kind of author could write such a brainless, narcissistic, self-righteous character. According to the original plotline, as long as Chen Xue refused to cancel the engagement, the original owner of this body would have eagerly agreed, even if it meant disgracing the Chu Family. That was what a true lapdog was, licking until there was nothing left. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
“You… Chu Yuan, do you think I care about this engagement? If my dad hadn’t been hospitalized because of this, I wouldn’t even bother with you,” Chen Xue finally blurted out the truth in anger.
“Your father being hospitalized has nothing to do with me. Are you pestering me because you want me to attend his funeral?” Chu Yuan replied mockingly.
“Chu Yuan, you’ve gone too far! I… I warn you. If you dare cancel the engagement, I won’t let this go!”
“Oh? Should I take that as a threat?” Chu Yuan let out a cold laugh, his gaze turning icy.
“I…” Chen Xue tried to muster her courage.
Smack!
A crisp sound echoed.
Zuo Shishi was stunned. Chen Xue was stunned. Even the surrounding servants watching the scene were stunned. Their young master had once again slapped Chen Xue in public. Including yesterday’s slap, her small face had become symmetrical again.
Chen Xue covered her bright red cheek and stared at Chu Yuan in disbelief before exploding in fury. “Chu Yuan, you lapdog, you…”
Smack!
Smack!
Two more crisp sounds rang out. Now her cheeks were truly symmetrical. Two blood-red palm prints were clearly visible on her fair face. Her entire face swelled up, and calling her a “pig head” would not be an exaggeration.
“Xue’er, your skin is too tough. My hands hurt from hitting you.” Chu Yuan shook his hands, then pulled out a pack of White Rabbit milk candies from his pocket and placed it into Chen Xue’s hands.
“Does it hurt?” His tone suddenly softened.
Caught off guard, Chen Xue subconsciously accepted the candy, her eyes filled with helpless confusion.
“Do you know why I slapped you just now?”
The three slaps had left her dazed. She stood there blankly, unable to speak.
Chu Yuan continued calmly, “Your father is seriously ill, yet as his daughter, you are not at the hospital caring for him. Instead, you are here throwing a tantrum. Should you not be slapped for that?” You are reading on novelping . com, the official source.
“I have already drawn a clear line between us, yet you repeatedly pester me and even dare threaten me. Should you not be slapped for that?”
“A woman who throws fits and acts domineering is not well-behaved. Go to the hospital and take care of your father.”
With that, Chu Yuan lost interest in wasting more words on someone so brainless. He told Zuo Shishi to drive off, leaving Chen Xue choking on exhaust fumes.
“Chu Yuan, you bastard! How dare you hit me!”
“I won’t let this go! I won’t!”
Watching him leave, Chen Xue finally reacted. Touching her swollen face, she stomped her feet in rage. Never in her life had she suffered such humiliation. She cursed loudly in the direction he had gone.
“Where did this crazy woman come from, daring to cause trouble at the Chu Family!”
Without Chu Yuan’s protection, the Chu Family’s security guards were more than willing to kick someone when they were down.
Inside the Land Rover, Chu Yuan rested his head on one hand and closed his eyes to rest.
He had no worries about taking control of the company. As the young master, once he stepped in to assume power, even if those old men were given ten times their courage, they would not dare obstruct him or set traps. With the Chu Family’s deep roots in Magic City, no one dared oppose him openly, much less secretly.
What he was thinking about now was how to throw a unique welcome banquet for the protagonist Lin Tianyang.
Forget it. It was not worth wasting brain cells over an ant.
“What’s wrong? Am I so handsome that you can’t help staring at me, Zuo Shishi?” Chu Yuan said with a faint smile when he noticed her curious gaze.
Zuo Shishi felt speechless. The lapdog problem had been cured, only to be replaced by a playboy personality.
Chu Yuan smiled lightly and did not explain further. Fortunately, aside from being a complete lapdog, the original owner was not entirely useless. The knowledge and refinement expected of a wealthy young master were intact.
Otherwise, Chu Yuan would have had to spend a great deal of time and effort rebuilding his image from scratch.
