Su Yingxia was momentarily stunned by Chen Fan's sincere gaze.
Chen Fan took a deep breath and continued, "From today on, I no longer need to hide my identity."
"For the past three years, I will do everything in my power, with all that I have, to compensate you for the grievances you've suffered!"
Hide his identity?
Compensate Su Yingxia?
Su Yingxia was bewildered!
Xu Shaolin was furious!
A useless live-in son-in-law not only beat him but also showed him such disregard afterward?
He was simply courting death!
The blood on his face gradually congealed, making him appear even more ferocious.
He curled his lips, a chilling smile spreading across his face, devoid of any trace of a wealthy young master.
"Very good, Chen Fan, is it? You've successfully angered me."
"You can't stand me touching your wife, can you? Wearing a cuckold's hat is too uncomfortable, isn't it?"
Xu Shaolin spoke each word deliberately, grinding his teeth.
In the next second, he suddenly roared.
"I'm putting it out there today: Su Yingxia, I will have her! And you, you won't be walking out of here alive!"
With that, Xu Shaolin took out his phone and quickly dialed a number.
Su Yingxia, who had been standing frozen, was already pale with fear.
Offending Xu Shaolin meant the entire Su family would be dragged down with him!
And all of this was because of that useless Chen Fan!
"Let's go, we're going home."
Chen Fan completely ignored Xu Shaolin's words and stepped forward, intending to take Su Yingxia's hand.
"Get lost!"
Su Yingxia, however, flung Chen Fan's hand away, recoiling to the side. She glared fiercely at Chen Fan, wishing that this useless man, who refused to divorce her, would die immediately!
In an instant, she composed herself and crawled to Xu Shaolin's feet, looking at him pitifully. "Young Master Xu, it's none of my business. He's just a useless person! A useless person that the entire Su family despises!"
"Please don't resent the Su family because of him!"
Xu Shaolin, in his superior position, remained silent, his eyes constantly roving over Su Yingxia's chest.
Su Yingxia also understood Xu Shaolin's intentions and deliberately shifted her body, her figure under the evening gown becoming even more alluring.
She turned to look back at Chen Fan and reprimanded him, "Why don't you quickly kneel down and apologize to Young Master Xu? Perhaps Young Master Xu will show mercy and spare your pathetic life!"
Seeing Chen Fan motionless, Su Yingxia became even more indignant. "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me?"
She couldn't afford to offend Xu Shaolin.
Her plea for him to apologize wasn't to save Chen Fan, but out of concern that Xu Shaolin's anger might extend to the Su family!
Chen Fan gave a bitter smile. For three years, he had endured the disdain of the Su family, all for the sake of staying by Su Yingxia's side.
In return, he received only Su Yingxia's contempt, complaints, and scorn...
But the memory of what happened years ago made him forcibly suppress his dissatisfaction. He said patiently, "Xia Xia, I really don't need to hide my identity anymore. You will become the happiest woman in this world."
Chen Fan spoke slowly, yet with unwavering conviction.
However, to others, it still sounded like a colossal joke.
"Hahaha..."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Shirley even covered her mouth, shaking with laughter.
The gazes of others reignited Su Yingxia's anger.
"You, are you worthy of talking about happiness?"
"Chen Fan! Do you know how childish and ridiculous you are being?"
"I'll say it one last time: Kneel down immediately and apologize to Young Master Xu, begging for his forgiveness!"
Kneel?
Apologize?
Heh—
He lowered his head in dejection, experiencing the sting of heartbreak for the first time.
After a long while, he raised his head.
Looking at Su Yingxia, his gaze gradually turned cold. "You want me to kneel and apologize? He's not worthy!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
"Slap—"
Su Yingxia raised her hand and struck. It was a swift and decisive action.
A heavy slap landed mercilessly on Chen Fan's face.
The five finger marks were exceptionally clear.
The quiet private room suddenly erupted.
"Yo yo yo! Su's top beauty is angry!"
"Top beauty, do you want me to help? To teach this ignorant fool a lesson?"
"Hmph, yelling at Young Master Xu? Serves you right!"
...
In an instant, Chen Fan became the clown in everyone's eyes.
Ridicule, mockery, disdain...
The gazes pierced him like sharp swords, mercilessly.
Chen Fan simply touched his burning cheek, looking at Su Yingxia with the eyes of a stranger.
He thought that three years of forbearance would be enough to change Su Yingxia's perception of him.
He thought that three years of being together would be enough for Su Yingxia to fall in love with him.
He thought that three years of companionship would evoke at least a little emotion from Su Yingxia.
At this moment, he finally realized he was wrong.
This time, Chen Fan did not continue to cower. He arrogantly lifted his head and emphasized each word, "I'll say it again: You want me to kneel and apologize? He's not worthy!"
"Good! So arrogant! So insolent!"
Xu Shaolin pointed at Chen Fan and sneered, "Brother Biao will be here shortly. Let's see if you can still be so tough!"
"You dare to hit me? If I don't break one of your legs today, then I, Xu Shaolin, am your descendant!"
Hearing Xu Shaolin call for backup, Su Yingxia was startled again.
The others in the private room, however, became excited.
A good show was about to unfold.
Brother Biao?
Chen Fan slightly curled his lips, a look of disdain on his face:
"I don't know any Brother Biao or Brother Gou. Since you want to die, then let them hurry over."
"Ooh—"
Shirley sarcastically chimed in, "You're still tough-mouthed even when death is at your doorstep. I'm actually a little impressed by your courage."
After mocking Chen Fan, she turned to Su Yingxia:
"Top beauty, your live-in boyfriend is quite tough, isn't he?"
"I wonder if this little body can withstand Brother Biao's lesson? I'm really looking forward to the show!"
Su Yingxia felt like she had nowhere to hide, her delicate face turning even paler.
At this moment, she could only hope that Xu Shaolin would quickly calm his rage.
And not implicate the Su family!
As for Chen Fan, his life or death had nothing to do with her.
