The marriage could proceed, but without a marriage certificate. Wang Laoda’s intentions were clear.
His father’s inheritance would not fall into other hands after his death.
Chen Xiao sneered. He chose to bide his time for now, primarily to gauge Wang Laotou’s stance.
If Wang Laotou had stepped forward to reprimand his children, acting like a man, Chen Xiao would have handled everything else.
Unfortunately, he remained seated, slowly sipping his tea as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Chen Xiao was furious, wishing he could set them all ablaze.
The only reason he hadn't acted was his mother’s presence; he didn't want to frighten her.
“Hey, kid, what are you thinking? I’m talking to you, why are you spacing out? You look so foolish…”
Brother Wang’s voice pulled Chen Xiao back from his daze.
Chen Xiao’s expression was grim as he coldly asked Wang Laotou, “What are you thinking?”
“Are you asking me?”
Wang Laotou was slightly taken aback. He slowly replied, “I’m old. I can’t even make my own decisions anymore. I’ll do as my children demand. Don’t you agree, Xiao Liu?”
Liu Zhen was trembling with anger, glaring at Wang Laotou. “What do you expect me to say now? You didn’t tell me this before!”
“Uh, well… that was then, this is now. You’ve seen the conditions my son and daughter have. If you have any other demands, feel free to state them now.”
Wang Laotou said indifferently, acting as if he had Liu Zhen cornered.
How could Liu Zhen endure such humiliation?
She turned to Chen Xiao and said, “Son, let’s go home!”
“Go? Auntie Liu, with my father’s conditions, you wouldn’t find anyone better even if you searched with a lantern. Once this opportunity passes, it’s gone forever. If you leave now, don’t regret it later!”
Brother Wang said arrogantly.
Liu Zhen was too enraged to speak. Chen Xiao patted her hand and said softly, “Mom, please wait a moment. I’ll talk to them.”
Then, Chen Xiao’s gaze shifted to Wang Laotou. “Hey, Wang Laotou, with the conditions your children are proposing, are you looking for a companion, or a free nanny?”
“Wang Laotou? How dare you speak to me like that? I am your elder, regardless of the circumstances. How can you address me like this? You have no manners, you’re simply barbaric!”
Wang Laotou’s beard bristled with anger. “Besides, these are my biological son and daughter. Their conditions wouldn’t be intended to harm me!”
Chen Xiao sneered, “You old dog, stop pretending to be a good person here. Are these your children’s wishes? They are clearly yours, and you’re just using your children’s mouths to say them. Selfish, cowardly, a disgrace to civility – that’s what you old dogs are!”
“You, you, you…”
Wang Laotou pointed at Chen Xiao, his fingers trembling. He was so angry his heart felt like it would burst.
“Get out! Xiao Liu, I never expected your son to be like this. Is he a doctor or a hooligan?”
“Leave? I’m putting it on record today: none of you three will leave until you kowtow and apologize to my mother!”
Chen Xiao was truly enraged. He hadn’t been this angry in a long time.
“Damn it, you little brat, you’re quite arrogant, aren’t you? Trying to act tough in front of me, you think you’re worthy?”
Brother Wang directly took out his phone. “You just wait. If I don’t cripple you today, I’ll write my name backward from now on!”
With that, he started calling for backup.
Chen Xiao snorted dismissively. “Call more people. If you don’t call enough, it won’t be enough for me to beat!”
Seeing Brother Wang calling for reinforcements, Liu Zhen immediately panicked. She grabbed Chen Xiao and whispered, “Son, perhaps we should just let it go. Don’t stir up any more trouble.”
Chen Xiao shook his head. “Mom, you saw it yourself. I’m not the one causing trouble. If they dare to bully you, I will make them pay.”
“You, a mere doctor, want us to pay?”
That little sister Wang smirked disdainfully, her voice full of disgust. “Dad, look at the kind of woman you’ve found. She’s utterly unreasonable!”
“I also didn’t expect her to be this kind of person, nor to have such an unreasonable son!”
Wang Laotou said, clutching his chest.
Wang Xiaomei said impatiently, “I don’t have time to waste with you people here. I still have to go back to work!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Xiao calmly said, “You don’t need to go back to work, because you’ve been fired.”
“I’ve been fired? What nonsense are you talking about? Are you crazy?”
Wang Xiaomei looked at Chen Xiao as if he were an idiot.
Chen Xiao then took out his phone and opened Song Anran’s contact.
Song Anran was pleasantly surprised to receive Chen Xiao’s call. Before she could speak, Chen Xiao said in a very cold voice.
“I order you to fire everyone surnamed Wang at Anchen Technology within five minutes, or face the consequences!”
“Ah? Why? Chen Xiao, what’s wrong with you…”
Hearing Chen Xiao’s tone, Song Anran immediately panicked.
Chen Xiao offered no explanation, merely saying, “You have four minutes and fifty seconds left…”
“Okay, I understand. I’ll do it right away.”
Song Anran hurriedly hung up the phone.
Chen Xiao acted this way because he didn’t know Wang Xiaomei’s name, only that she was surnamed Wang.
“This is ridiculous, Auntie Liu. I suggest you stop hooking up with old men randomly in the future. You and your son should go get your heads examined!”
As she spoke, she picked up her bag, preparing to leave.
However, just as she finished speaking, her vision went black. Chen Xiao had somehow appeared in front of her.
*Slap—*
A single slap sent her spitting blood, her teeth flying out.
“You, you, ah—”
Wang Xiaomei screamed frantically.
Seeing this, Brother Wang grabbed a wine bottle and lunged at Chen Xiao.
“You little bastard, I’ll kill you today!”
Chen Xiao kicked him flying and said coldly, “Don’t rush. I’ll deal with you later!”
Just then, Wang Xiaomei’s phone rang.
Chen Xiao directly took the phone from her and pressed the speakerphone button.
“Ms. Wang Likun, you have been terminated from Anchen Technology. Please return to the company as soon as possible to collect your personal belongings.”
A cold voice came from the other end of the phone.
Wang Xiaomei was stunned. She never imagined that a single phone call from this person would actually cause her to lose her job.
And he had said it applied to all employees surnamed Wang at Anchen Technology.
Who exactly was this person?
Chen Xiao then said slowly, “So your name is Wang Likun.”
With that, he called Song Anran again.
“Alright, the layoffs can stop. Inform everyone else, except Wang Likun, that this was a misunderstanding and they can return to work. Also, convey my message: any company in Jiangcheng that dares to hire Wang Likun is my enemy, Chen Xiao!”
