Chapter 617: Chapter 617: Effective Taunt_1 Chapter 617: Chapter 617: Effective Taunt_1 “Sister-in-law, you’re making me feel like an outsider with those words.
I’ve already come all this way, won’t you even let me sit for a moment?”
Chen Baishi revealed a mocking, strange smile, and with that, he forcefully pushed Zhou Xian.
Zhou Xian, despite noticing Chen Qingning’s lack of warmth toward this person, understood that since the man had called someone ‘sister-in-law,’ there must still be some sort of relationship between them.
Hence, he did not retaliate, simply rooting himself to the spot as immovable as a mountain.
Chen Baishi pushed several times but couldn’t budge him, and he couldn’t help but let out a surprised grunt.
It seemed as though he wasn’t pushing a person, but rather a large boulder that was completely unmoved, even maintaining an indifferent expression as he looked back at him.
A chill ran through Chen Baishi’s heart, and, annoyed, he backed off without further exertion.
After all, wasn’t bringing so many people with him meant for this very purpose?
Immediately, with a gesture of his hand, the well-built men in suits behind him, all bulky as tigers and bears, stepped forward with stern faces.
As they clenched their fists, the sound of cracking knuckles echoed, ready to teach these three roadblockers a harsh lesson.
“Boss.”
Zhou Xian couldn’t help but let a cold smirk play on his lips as he looked towards Xu Fan, waiting for instructions.
In truth, he was more interested in confirming with Xu Fan how severe the punishment should be when dealing with this group of people.
This was the Imperial Capital after all, and if he applied too much force, it might attract trouble.
“Take care of them, until they are scared,” Xu Fan commanded indifferently.
Since his mother held such a disliking for these guests, he saw no need for mercy.
Under normal circumstances, Zhang Qingning was very gentle and amiable, seldom showing anger, let alone any cold aloofness.
But she had treated Chen Baishi in such a manner just now, indicating that she really disliked him or even hated him, or perhaps his sister Chen Qianhe had bullied her before.
Xu Fan’s main purpose in returning to the capital was for his mother, and he hadn’t spent much time settling scores yet.
But since these people had so inconsiderately come knocking, he wouldn’t let it slide, and saw it convenient to settle the accounts on the spot.
“Understood!”
Zhou Xian grinned, his head tilting from side to side, signaling to Bull Demon and Song Qingshan.
Instantly, the trio moved in unison, like tigers among sheep.
Within a few strikes, they had beaten Chen Baishi and his group to the ground and flung them out.
Sounds of “bang, bang, bang” came from the corridor, mingled with cries of pain.
Yet, Zhou Xian and his companions were unharmed, their clothes just slightly disheveled.
“Cry out again, and I’ll give you another beating.
Now get lost!”
Following the fiery roar of the Bull Demon, the noises outside subsided considerably.
Despite the pain, everyone tightly pressed their lips together.
The three hadn’t held back much this time, maintaining a normal level of force, ensuring that these people wouldn’t get off a bed for a good ten days, let alone stand up.
However, they ultimately spared Chen Baishi.
At that moment, his forehead was beaded with sweat the size of soybeans, and his complexion had turned a few shades paler.
Meanwhile, Li Fuqiang and Xu Fan continued to chat and laugh as if nothing had happened, unbothered by the Chen Family scion still standing there.
Even if the Chen Family Head stood there himself, he couldn’t have drawn their attention.
After a while, Xu Fan slightly nodded to Zhou Xian and the two others before formally turning his gaze to Chen Baishi.
In an instant, Chen Baishi felt as if he were enveloped in an icy chill, his internal organs sharply contracting and goosebumps spreading all over.
He sneezed loudly, causing the gift box to fall to the ground.
Just one look from Xu Fan made him feel as if he were being targeted by a demon.
Only then did he realize that he had provoked a terrifying fiend, an existence he absolutely couldn’t afford to offend.
As for how powerful Xu Fan was, Chen Baishi had no idea, but just the three underlings of Xu Fan could easily crush him to death.
“Damn you, Xu Fan, no matter how arrogant you are, you’re just a castaway of a family clan.
If you don’t remove the curse from Xiao Yan, the Xu Family and the Chen Family will definitely make you pay,” he thought bitterly.
Chen Baishi thought that no matter how strong the opponent was, they wouldn’t dare to do anything to him.
Suddenly emboldened, he spoke with a fierce and threatening tone.
“Heh…
Are you threatening me?
Well, I refuse to comply,” Xu Fan retorted with a cold laugh.
Suddenly, a booming voice echoed from outside the private room, as if a deity standing upon the clouds was speaking, resounding across hundreds of meters.
“Hmmph, do you really think you’re peerless in the world, Xu Fan?
Such arrogance!”
The voice was filled with an imposing aura, powerfully surging, causing the air to tremble wherever the sound waves passed.
Many people within the area couldn’t help but feel a sharp pain in their eardrums, resulting in furrowed brows.
Zhou Xian and others likewise showed a reaction, seemingly recognizing the identity of the newcomer—it was the dragon of the Qin Family, Qin Qinglong.
With the sound of “tap, tap, tap,” footsteps gradually nearing, a robust figure appeared at the doorway.
Dressed in formal attire, Qin Qinglong stood as straight as a javelin, his face cold and authoritative.
One hand was tucked into his pocket while the other held a gift box.
He stopped at the entrance, sweeping his gaze across the room, only to notice Li Fuqiang and Nan Bowan.
A hint of surprise flickered across his face, then he nodded at them in greeting, but made no further move.
In his eyes, even if Nan Bowan was the chief protector, revered and senior, and Li Fuqiang the chief steward, and superior.
He showed little of the reverent deference expected.
Xu Fan noticed this as well and couldn’t help but curl his lip.
Following behind Qin Qinglong were two others, the Tang-suited elder was the Chen Family’s patron Zhu Yangyuan, and the younger man alongside seemed more like an attendant.
Qin Qinglong indeed left a distinct impression on Xu Fan.
He felt an aura about him as formidable as a dragon, living up to his name, but apart from that, there seemed nothing particularly remarkable.
As their gazes met, sparks seemed to fly from their eyes at each other.
“Brother Chen, have no worries.
Our Qin Family has always had a harmonious relationship with the Chen Family, including business dealings.
With me here, no one will be able to bully you,” Qin Qinglong said with a firm voice as he walked beside Chen Baishi, patting his shoulder.
Chen Baishi immediately felt bolstered, sensing he had strong backing.

Although he no longer made bold threats, his spine straightened, and his eyes were filled with smugness.
“Qin Qinglong, Minister Qin, what a coincidence.
May I know why you are here?” Li Fuqiang stood up and asked with a faint smile.
He seemed to be watching Qin Qinglong, but his peripheral vision stayed locked on Zhu Yangyuan, a sense of gravity stirring within him.
It appeared that Li Fuqiang held Zhu Yangyuan in high regard, daring not to take him lightly.
“Chief Steward Li, indeed, it is quite the coincidence.
However, I have no ulterior motives.
I’m simply here to wish my aunt a happy birthday and to present a gift to show my sincerity,” Qin Qinglong replied.
After saying this, he carried the gift box over to Zhang Qingning with a light smile, extended his hands, and said, “Auntie, I’ve prepared this birthday gift especially for you.
It’s a hot-selling item sought after worldwide, called ‘Youth Preserving Beauty.’ It’s said to possess a miraculous effect of rejuvenating and restoring youth.
Please accept it, and may the Azure Dragon wish auntie eternal youth and everlasting vitality.”
Upon hearing this, many people, including Ye Xiaoning, looked at Qin Qinglong with odd expressions on their faces.
“Hahaha…” Wang Xiaolong, knowing the other was his rival in romance, especially left no room for face, and burst into laughter several times in public, mockingly said, “Buddy, aren’t you a bit careless with your gift?
At least put some thought into it and pick carefully.
Just grabbing something and showing up, aren’t you afraid of becoming the laughingstock?”
Qin Qinglong’s face darkened as his gaze towards Wang Xiaolong turned frostier.
Wang Xiaolong, however, didn’t care at all.
Against a love rival, one must show no mercy, seizing the opportunity to kick a man while he’s down and refusing to give face, he continued to mock, “The gift you specially prepared, unfortunately, happens to be from a company owned by Brother Xu.
”
“Hmph, can’t even give a proper gift and yet talks so arrogantly.
What a joke.
What do you think?
