With Su Ruoxue’s nervousness, Xiao Chen felt a sliver of warmth penetrate his heart.
However, he wasn’t planning to treat Tang Jiajie politely because of a few words she’d said.
The Tang family couldn’t get themselves out of this one. A lowly Tang Jiajie wanted to find trouble with him… He’s doomed.
Tang Jiajie and Xiao Wan quickly noticed Xiao Chen.
“You little runt! Were you the one who hurt someone? And hit me in the process, too?”
Xiao Chen glanced at him indifferently.
“So what if I did? So what if I didn’t?”
“Impudent!”
Tang Jiajie cried angrily.
“What do you think you are? Where do you think you are? This is the Tang family manor! This is my territory! Who gave you the balls to get violent with people on Tang family grounds?”
Su Ruoxue stepped up to de-escalate.
“Young Master Tang, my apologies, a few guys were stirring up trouble with Xiao Chen, that’s why he attacked them. Xiao Chen wasn’t trying to offend anyone!”
“Su Ruoxue?”
Tang Jiajie looked Su Ruoxue up and down as a green film appeared in his eyes.
Even he couldn’t resist Su Ruoxue’s beauty!
He sneered before continuing again.
“Since you’ve already pleaded with me, then I’ll excuse him of any death sentence. But a life sentence is hard to escape! Tell this kid to get out of here, I don’t want to see him again!”
Xiao Chen slowly opened his mouth.
“I’m afraid you don’t have the right to tell me to leave!”
“Hahahaha…”
Tang Jiajie tilted his head back in laughter.
“A joke! What a joke. You punk dare stand on my land and act so arrogant. Do you not see my Tang family as a threat?”
Soon as he spoke, his expression turned cold.
“In my Tang family, anyone who refuses a gentle offer in favor of harsh punishment is certain to die!”
Xiao Wan also smiled coldly.
“That’s right. Xiao Chen, recognize your own limits please! This is the Tang family. Even when you had high status before, you didn’t have the right to disturb them. Now, it’s not even a competition. You have nothing to your name, you’re just a lone loser!”
“You aren’t qualified to rival the Tang family. If you don’t want to die, then get the hell out!”
Everyone spectating began to bicker and give pointers as well. They looked at Xiao Chen with evident distaste.
The Tang family’s power extended far beyond Jiangbei!
All of the Yan kingdom treated the Tang family with proper formalities.
In all of Jiangbei, nobody could resist if the Tang family wanted someone dead.
Su Ruoxue’s face turned pale.
“Xiao Chen, let’s just leave. Let’s not let things escalate too much.”
Xiao Chen’s face remained calm as his skintone did not change.
“I’ve already said, he has no right in telling me to leave.”
Tang Jiajie’s expression was cold.
“It seems like you’re really trying to die! If that’s the case, then I won’t have to give face to Su Ruoxue. Today, you can stay! But you will be lying down, not standing!”
The spectators all took a deep breath. Tang Jiajie was really angry this time!
He was going to kill Xiao Chen!
Xiao Wan looked pretentious at them. There was neither satisfaction nor disdain in her eyes.
She was now Tang Jiajie’s woman. Toward Xiao Chen, she didn’t need to harbor a shred of pity!
Killing Xiao Chen was like stepping on an ant!
But Su Ruoxue was a little worried.
She pulled out her phone to call Grandmaster Tang. She hoped he could give her the face and prevent Tang Jiajie from striking.
It’s true that Xiao Chen is very strong and had the Chen family behind him in support.
But at this moment, Tang Jiajie didn’t know that if he triggered Xiao Chen now, with his explosive temper, Tang Jiajie was bound to die. If that time really did come, Grandfather Tang would be furious!
By then, even if the Chen family did make an appearance, they might not be able to subdue the Tang family’s anger.
At this moment, the figure of a woman wearing a simple, woven dress appeared.
She was no less beautiful than Su Ruoxue, with sharp eyebrows and a heroic spirit.
More importantly, the momentum she carried with her as she walked was simply daunting.
This was something even Su Ruoxue couldn’t compare to!
“Ruoxue, what’s wrong? I saw you guys arguing from above.”
Seeing Tang Nianyao, Su Ruoxue’s eyes lit up.
“Nianyao! Thank god you’re here!”
She took three large steps over, quickly approaching and grabbing onto Nianyao’s arm.
“I have a friend who offended your brother, please help persuade him for me!”
“Oh?”
Tang Nianyao frowned slightly, looking toward Tang Jiajie with a flash of disgust in her eyes.
Tang Jiajie felt mutual as he looked toward them arrogantly with his chin tilted up. Evidently, these people weren’t easy to deal with!
“Don’t worry. I’m here, he won’t dare be arrogant!”
Tang Jiajie chuckled coldly.
“Tang Nianyao, don’t overestimate yourself! Someone is stirring up trouble on Tang territory, and as the third generation heir, I am dealing with it! You best stay out of this. Otherwise, if grandpa gets upset, you can’t bear the consequences!”
Tang Nianyao also chuckled coldly.
“Really? Then, I’m curious to see how powerful young master Tang really is!”
Tang Jiajie clenched his fists as his gaze turned to ice.
“Tang Nianyao, you’re looking to die!”
Tang Nianyao didn’t acknowledge him and turned to Su Ruoxue.
“Ruoxue, who’s your friend? Tell him to come here. Don’t worry, as long as I’m alive today, nobody will dare touch him!”
Su Ruoxue was overjoyed.
“Then, thank you!”
Afterwards, she hurriedly waved at Xiao Chen.
“Xiao Chen, hurry up and come here, Nianyao is here to protect you, don’t worry!”
Xiao Chen however remained still. He only turned his icy gaze to Tang Nianyao.
After Tang Nianyao saw Xiao Chen, she couldn’t help but twitch her face.
She then smiled bitterly.
“Ruoxue, are you sure he’s the one you need me to cover for?”
Su Ruoxue was confused.
“What’s wrong?”
“N-nothing.”
When her words fell, Tang Nianyao slowly walked toward Xiao Chen, bowing deeply when she arrived in front of him.
“Xiao Chen, my deepest apologies that you had to suffer such ridicule upon visiting my Tang household.”
Everyone watching was stunned as their heart rates increased.
The Tang family madame actually bowed to a nameless runt?
Good lord, what is this guy?
Even Su Ruoxue was stunned.
The Tang family’s property value may not be as high as the Chen family’s, but their network and family status are far beyond what the Chen family can match.
But even Tang Nianyao bowed to Xiao Chen.
What exactly was this guy’s status?
