Chen Xuan sneered, "Sun Yongkang, trying to renege on your debt again?"

"Screw you!"

Sun Yongkang shouted angrily, "Who the hell do you think you are, constantly challenging and provoking me!"

"Push me too far, and I'll kill you in an instant!"

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems I've been too tolerant with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he abruptly kicked out.

Sun Yongkang had no defense whatsoever and was kicked off by Chen Xuan on the spot.

Thud!

He fell from the boat into the river, creating a splash like a fish exploding.

"Help! Help!"

"I can't swim, pull me up quickly..."

Sun Yongkang struggled desperately in the water, already choking on several mouthfuls of water.

"Chen Xuan, you... you're too reckless!"

Zhang Ru quickly reacted and shouted to the boatman, "What are you just standing there for? Hurry up and pull him up!"

A boatman quickly handed out a pole for Sun Yongkang to grab onto, and they both worked together to drag him onto the boat.

Sun Yongkang lay on the boat, coughing continuously and spitting out water.

Chen Xuan, expressionless, said coldly, "Sun Yongkang, remember the lesson from tonight."

"If you dare provoke me again, you won't be so lucky!"

Sun Yongkang's eyes were full of resentment, but at this moment he didn't dare challenge Chen Xuan again and could only choose to swallow his pride.

Once the boat docked, Chen Xuan and the others disembarked.

Sun Yongkang slinked away, his anger at Chen Xuan reaching a peak internally.

"Chen Xuan, if you have something to say, just say it. Why did you kick Sun Yongkang into the water?"

"If someone dies, can you take responsibility? We'd all be implicated because of you!"

Zhang Ru's eyes were filled with resentment.

Lin Zhiguo also gently advised, "Chen Xuan, you were indeed a bit impulsive back there."

"Though Sun Yongkang lost and refused to accept it, you didn't need to treat him like that. It's good that no one died."

Chen Xuan didn't respond, instead looking at Zhang Ru, "Mother-in-law, Sun Yongkang has already lost, I hope you keep your promise and stop interfering in my marriage with Wanxi."

Zhang Ru was mortified at this moment and couldn't refute.

She was also filled with curiosity about the big scene Chen Xuan put on tonight.

"Chen Xuan, how did you manage all this tonight? Do you really have some hidden background strength?"

Zhang Ru's eyes were filled with anticipation, "Just tell me directly, as long as you have a strong background, I promise to keep my word!"

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Mother-in-law, you only value background strength, not character at all?"

"If I don't have the background you're imagining, you still won't accept me, right?"

Zhang Ru was stumped and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

She couldn't figure out if Chen Xuan truly had strong background strength or not.

In her heart, she didn't believe he was that kind of big figure.

Yet being able to create such a grand scene tonight, how could it be something an ordinary person could achieve?

Lin Wanxi quietly said at this moment, "If I'm not mistaken, Chen Xuan, you asked Director Wang Tao for help, right?"

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, "Yes, it was Wang Tao who initiated the invitation for those famous opera singers to perform tonight."

Zhang Ru's face immediately fell, losing interest, "So it was all about asking for help in the end! I thought you had some great ability!"

Lin Wanxi was unhappy and retorted, "Mom, you're looking at things too one-sidedly!"

"Does Chen Xuan have to be a big figure to be considered capable? Having strong connections, isn't that a display of one's own ability?"

Zhang Ru immediately fell silent, unable to respond.

Lin Zhiguo chuckled and tried to mediate, "Alright, alright, anyway, we really enjoyed ourselves tonight."

"Chen Xuan has also proven his ability, and he's given us such a big gift, there's no reason to look down on him anymore."

"Let's go home and rest! It really was an unforgettable night, hahaha."

"Mom and Dad, you go home first. I want to walk alone with Chen Xuan for a while before going back." Lin Wanxi said softly.

"Alright, we'll go home first and not disturb your time alone together." Lin Zhiguo smiled and motioned for Zhang Ru to leave.

Lin Wanxi looked at Chen Xuan, smiling slightly, "Walk with me by the river, let's have a good chat."

"Chat about what? I'm only interested in talking about love and romance." Chen Xuan chuckled.

Lin Wanxi shot him a glare but then smiled gently, "Seeing your good performance tonight and your heartfelt effort in celebrating my birthday, I'll give you a chance to talk about love."

Chen Xuan immediately perked up, it seemed there would be unexpected rewards tonight!

It wasn't a futile effort!

The two strolled by the river, with a gentle breeze blowing.

Lin Wanxi's long hair fluttered, the bright moonlight softly illuminating her face, so gentle and beautiful.

"Chen Xuan, to be honest, I was very happy and moved tonight."

"I can see your sincere feelings for me."

Lin Wanxi looked at him, "That night by the sea, you asked if I was willing to continue this mistake, now I can give you an answer."
