6: Chapter 6 Slapping the Unfilial Daughter

"Chu Yuan, I didn't come here for this matter."

"Speak quickly or get lost. This young master is very busy and has no time to play games with you here."

Chu Yuan waved his hand, his face full of impatience.

"Chu Yuan, what kind of attitude is that? I ran over here early in the morning to wait for you, and this is how you speak to me?"

Chu Yuan's dismissive attitude, as if he were shooing away a beggar, made the already annoyed Chen Xue even more dissatisfied.

She had originally intended to have a calm conversation with Chu Yuan, but in the end, she became absolutely furious.

"Is my attitude not good?"

"I am a young master of the Shanghai Chu Family. With just a single word, the women willing to chat with me could circle Shanghai three times over."

"And what kind of thing are you to dare to criticize me?"

"Do you believe that with one word from me, I could bankrupt your Chen family and turn you into a beggar on the street?"

Chu Yuan sneered endlessly.

This Chen Xue was still living in a dream; she truly believed he was still the subservient simp who obeyed her every command.

When the Chu Family is enraged, corpses litter the fields.

Today, Chu Yuan wanted to tell her that not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could run wild in front of a young master of the prestigious Chu Family.

"You... I..."

Terrified by Chu Yuan's barrage of threats, Chen Xue stammered, unable to say a word for a long time.

She only felt her eyes moisten, overcome with a sense of grievance.

To this, Chu Yuan showed that he would not indulge such a woman. He spoke again: "If you aren't going to speak, I'll treat you as if you don't exist and be on my way."

"Stop!"

Chen Xue took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and suppressed her temper as she said: "I came to tell you that I do not agree to dissolve our engagement."

"Don't misunderstand; I have not the slightest interest in you, I could never like you, and I certainly won't marry you."

"At... at worst, I'll take a loss, and... we can just be ordinary friends?"

"What? Is my hearing failing? Did I hear that wrong?"

"You say the engagement isn't dissolved, so it isn't? Do you think this is a game of house for children, changing your mind from one day to the next?"

"What this young master has said cannot be changed. The engagement between us was written off long ago; from now on, we have absolutely nothing to do with each other."

Chu Yuan realized that female leads like Chen Xue were severely lacking in both IQ and EQ.

He didn't know what kind of author could write such a brain-dead, narcissistic, and self-righteous female lead.

The key was that according to the original plot, as long as Chen Xue suggested not dissolving the engagement, the original owner would have happily agreed without hesitation.

Even if it meant losing all face for the Chu Family, the original owner wouldn't have cared in the slightest.

This is what is known as a simp; simping until the end, only to end up with nothing.

"You... Chu Yuan, do you think I care about our engagement? If it weren't for the fact that my dad was hospitalized because of this, I wouldn't bother with you at all."

"Your dad is hospitalized—what does that have to do with me? You come here to pester me; are you hoping I'll go and see your father off to his grave?"

"Chu Yuan, you're bullying me too much! I... I'm warning you, if you dare to dissolve the engagement, I... I won't let you off!"

"Oh, may I take it that you are threatening me?"

Chu Yuan let out a cold laugh, and even his gaze gradually turned icy.

"I..."

Chen Xue still wanted to muster up the courage to feign composure.

Slap!

A crisp sound rang out.

Zuo Shishi was stunned, Chen Xue was stunned, and the servants watching the drama were even more stunned.

Their young master had actually slapped Chen Xue in the face again on the spot.

Added to yesterday's slap, Chen Xue's little face was symmetrical once more.

Clutching her bright red cheek, Chen Xue looked at Chu Yuan in disbelief, and then erupted like a volcano.

"Chu Yuan, you simp, you..."

"Slap!" "Slap!"

Two more crisp sounds rang out, and Chen Xue's cheeks were finally symmetrical.

On that fair, tender little face, two blood-red slap marks were clearly visible.

Her entire face was swollen from the beating; using the word "pig's head" to describe it wouldn't be an exaggeration in the slightest.

"Xue'er, your skin is too thick; my hand hurts from hitting you."

As he spoke, Chu Yuan shook his hands, pulled a bag of White Rabbit candies from his pocket, and placed it into the hands of the slightly stunned Chen Xue.

"Does it hurt?"

Chu Yuan changed his hard attitude from just a moment ago and said softly.

Clearly somewhat surprised, Chen Xue subconsciously took the candy, revealing a look of helplessness.

"Do you know why I slapped you just now?"

The three slaps had already stunned Chen Xue; she stood rooted to the spot for a long time, unable to say a word.

Chu Yuan didn't care about her and continued on his own: "Your father is seriously ill, and as his daughter, you don't go to take care of him but instead come here to throw a tantrum. Tell me, didn't you deserve to be hit?"

"I have already drawn a line between us, yet you pester me again and again, and even dare to threaten me. Tell me, didn't you deserve these slaps?"

"Women who throw tantrums and act unreasonably aren't good girls. Hurry up and go to the hospital to take care of your dad."

Leaving these words behind, Chu Yuan couldn't be bothered to waste any more breath on a brain-dead person like Chen Xue. He had Zuo Shishi drive off, leaving Chen Xue with nothing but a cloud of exhaust.

"Chu Yuan, you bastard, how dare you hit me!"

"I won't let you off, I won't!"

Watching Chu Yuan drive away, Chen Xue, who had finally reacted, touched her slightly swollen cheek and stomped her feet in anger.

From childhood to adulthood, where had she ever suffered such humiliation? She cursed loudly in the direction of Chu Yuan's departure.

"Where did this crazy woman come from, daring to run wild at the Chu Family!"

The security guards of the Chu Family would not indulge Chen Xue.

Without Chu Yuan's protection, there were plenty of people willing to beat a dog that had fallen into the water.

In the Range Rover.

Chu Yuan rested his head on one hand and entered a mode of resting his eyes.

Seizing power in the company—Chu Yuan was not worried about this at all.

With his status as the young master going to take over the company's power, those old folks wouldn't dare to block him or set traps for him, even if they were given the courage to do so.

With the foundation the Shanghai Chu Family had, those people wouldn't dare to oppose him, let alone in the open, not even in secret.

What Chu Yuan was thinking about now was how to throw a unique welcome banquet for the Protagonist, Lin Tianyang.

Forget it, no point thinking about it.

Wasting my brain cells on an ant is just not worth the cost.

"What's the matter? Is this young master as handsome as Pan An, and you can't help but take a few extra looks, Shishi?"

When she came back to her senses, the look in Zuo Shishi's eyes, as if she had discovered a new world, made Chu Yuan unable to laugh or cry.

Zuo Shishi was speechless.

The simp's illness had been cured, but he had turned into a playboy.

Chu Yuan smiled faintly and didn't explain much.

Fortunately, apart from being an out-and-out simp, the original owner wasn't completely useless; the knowledge and upbringing a wealthy scion should have were not lacking in the slightest.

Otherwise, Chu Yuan didn't know how much time and energy he would have had to spend to rebuild his image.
