Chapter 42: How Do You Want to Settle This

Nan Jiaojiao shook her head, “It’s nothing.”

Shen Shichu wasn’t really concerned about her.

After giving her a cursory glance, he turned to confront Lu Zhenzhen.

“Miss Lu, do you know how much you cost me with your commotion today?”

A second ago, Lu Zhenzhen was full of concern, but upon receiving Nan Jiaojiao’s gaze, she immediately contained her expression.

Her relationship with Jiaobaoer had never been exposed in front of others.

“Ah Zhe, I feel so dizzy, and my legs hurt.

I feel awful all over.

Can you carry me home to rest?”

Lu Zhenzhen closed her eyes and leaned to the side.

She didn’t even need to look for a place to fall; Gao Zhe would definitely catch her.

“Okay.”

“Wait!”

Seeing them about to leave, Shen Shichu panicked.

His men stopped Gao Zhe and Lu Zhenzhen.

“Leaving without settling things is a bit too arrogant.

The Shen Family is not inferior to the Lu Family or the Gao Family.

Today’s matter…”

“How does Mr.

Shen want to settle this?”

Gao Zhe interrupted coldly, “My fiancée’s horse farm has never had any issues.

The moment construction started on Mr.

Shen’s land, all the horses were spooked.

Add to that the shock and injuries my fiancée sustained, how do you intend to settle this account?”

Shen Shichu was taken aback.

“How can you turn this around on me?”

“For every inch of injury on my fiancée’s body, I will destroy one of Shen’s projects.

If she’s hurt by a foot, I will devour the entire Shen’s!”

Gao Zhe was not bragging; he indeed had the capability.

Becoming a president at a young age, when he first rose to power, many veterans in the company disagreed with him.

He used forceful means to either dismiss them or suppress them.

In a short time, he turned the already deficit-ridden company into the industry leader and became the leading figure in the entertainment circle.

Targeting the Shen Family was just a flick of his fingers for him.

Lu Zhenzhen felt incredibly sweet inside; she knew no matter how much she quarreled with Gao Zhe, he would spoil her unconditionally.

He didn’t even ask what happened, and immediately defended her.

When she got off the horse, he didn’t let her touch the ground.

“Ah Zhe~”

“Shut up!” Gao Zhe scolded her coldly, not even giving her a glance, “I’ll deal with you when we get home.”

Lu Zhenzhen shrank back into his arms, sneakily peeking over his shoulder at Nan Jiaojiao, winking at her.

After blinking twice, she was stuffed into the car and taken away.

Shen Shichu stood there stunned for a long time, then what followed was a chest-full of rage.

“Uncle, did you see that?

Gao Zhe and Lu Zhenzhen are too arrogant.

I mind my own business and don’t provoke anyone, yet they bullied me like this.

I am your nephew after all, yet in your presence, they didn’t give me any respect!”

Shen Shichu spoke indignantly, gesturing towards the mess behind him, trying to stir up someone who shared his outrage.

“My respect?”

Bo Yanching flicked his cigarette ash, raising his hand to bring the cigarette to his lips.

The white smoke veiled his cold and resolute face.

His lips curled up in a scornful smile, “When did the Bo Family’s face become something for the Shen Family to rely on?”

The expression on Shen Shichu’s face slowly froze.

He looked at Bo Yanching in disbelief.

The man’s presence was too imposing; he diverted his gaze without fixating on Bo Yanching, feeling a lump in his throat as he forcefully swallowed his anger.

“I apologize; I misspoke.

Uncle, please don’t take it to heart.”

Bo Yanching responded indifferently, “This is between you and the Lu Family and the Gao Family.

Solve it yourself.

Dare to bring me up, and I will take care of you before they do.”

Shen Shichu’s heart sank rapidly.

His complexion darkened, turning from red to white, then from white to green.

Humiliation and rage congealed in his chest, making it difficult to breathe.

His whole body tensed like a fish being stretched.
