149 Life Is A Play! (1/2)
”Wu…wu….”
Xiao Jianzhong laid on the ground, howling in agony. The skin on his face had been split open and there was shockingly bloody palm print on it.
Clearly, Murong Tian was outraged.
”Calm down Master Tian! This is Xiao Jiangzhong's fault. I apologize to Xiaoyao on his behalf! Please don't be mad!”
Shuddering, Xiao Zhe hurriedly ran over to shelter Xiao Jiangzhong.
”Hmph! Your son did such a thing and you're asking me to calm down? He touched my daughter! He might as well have slapped me in the face!” Murong Tian scowled, his tone menacing, ”From today onwards, I rescind Xiaoyao's order of not hitting your son! If Xiao Jianzhong dares to cause trouble again, he will bear the consequences!”
”Haha! This is just too great!” Xiaoyao's face lit up with joy, ”Did you hear that, Xiao Jianzhong? Next time, if you show up anywhere near me, your life will be beaten out of you!”
”I… I understand…” Xiao Jianzhong gulped. His face dripping with tears and snot. He wouldn't dare to ever bother Xiaoyao again.
Murong Tian turned his gaze towards Xiao Zhe and said, ”From today onwards, your family and mine are no longer associated! You are not allowed to use my name to run your dirty businesses anymore! Or else, I will personally destroy all your business!”
”What…” Xiao Zhe looked as if he had just been struck by lightning.
All this while, his businesses had been relying on Murong Tian to sail smoothly.
Now that Murong Tian wanted to cut off all connections with him, his business will surely take a dip for the worse. His losses would be nearly impossible to estimate.
”Master Tian, you can't do this! Have you forgotten my father's kindness towards you?” Xiao Zhe dripped with cold sweat.
”I am indeed indebted to elder Xiao. But I, Murong Tian, have done everything I can to repay his kindness. You should know better than anyone, how many bad deeds you have done all this time! Get out of my house now! Do it before I kick you out! Take care!”
Murong Tian deepened his voice. A powerful presence filled the air instantly.
There was nothing that they could do when Murong Tian made the announcement.
Xiao Zhe knew better than anyone that Murong Tian would never change or break his words. Thus, Xiao Zhe left the mansion with his son.
”Dad! That was so cool! I've been waiting for this day, for a long long time!” Xiaoyao cheered excitedly, a bright smile plastered across her face.
”Go wash your face. Good thinking – smearing all that saliva on your face!” Murong Tian laughed. Murong Tian smiled and said.
Xiaoyao was shocked, ”Dad, you saw through that earlier?”
”I wouldn't still be secure in my position today if I can't see through these small tricks.” Murong Tian replied.
”It's that idiot who painted saliva on my face! Today's wiles were all his ideas. He is full of chickenshit!” Xiaoyao pouted. When she got reminded about her beautiful face is covered in spit, she fumed with anger and blamed everything on Chen.
Chen felt a sting, wondering how he would explain himself.
But Murong Tian laughed, ”That's not chickenshit, it's called resourcefulness! In fact, I have to thank him.”
”Thank him? for what?” Xiaoyao looked puzzled.
Even Chen Xiaobei was a little flattered himself.
Murong Tian explained, ”I have tolerated the Xiao family for a very long time. I have not had the chance to draw the line with them. Thanks to Xiaobei, today I can finally find a good reason to cut off with them completely.”
”If that's the case, then you had already known earlier about our plan and you have been playing along all this time!” Xiaoyao's eyes widened.
Chen was stunned as well, after all, that had happened tonight, the person who had acted the best was Murong Tian!
