Smack!

As soon as the words fell, Chen Xuan slapped him across the face, "Idiot, you don't have the right to challenge me!"

This slap completely stunned Qian Yuntian. He was dazed for three seconds before coming to his senses.

"How dare you hit me, this young master..."

Smack!

Chen Xuan slapped him again, "Still haven't learned your lesson, you just need more beating!"

"Go home and tell your grandpa that my name is Chen Xuan. Let's see if he dares to mess with me!"

"You're Chen Xuan?"

Qian Yuntian's temper vanished instantly. He had heard this name from his grandpa recently and was very apprehensive.

At this moment, he dared not make a fuss; covering his face, he slunk out of the office.

Lin Wanxi shook her head, "It's enough to chase him away. Why resort to violence?"

"He harassed you first, then threatened me. Giving him a beating was already lenient," Chen Xuan sneered.

Lin Wanxi glanced at him, "Those two slaps must have been satisfying, but it also indirectly slapped Qian Family's face."

"Aren't you just inviting trouble if Patriarch Qian gets furious?"

Heh heh!

Chen Xuan sneered disdainfully, "Do you think I fear the Qian Family's retaliation?"

"Oh, you're just so capable!" Lin Wanxi glared at him, "I know you don't respect the Qian Family, but if you truly provoke them, aren't you just bringing trouble upon yourself?"

Chen Xuan waved his hand, "Wanxi, you don't understand the situation. I didn't hit him just for this, but also as a side warning to the Qian Family."

Hmm?

Lin Wanxi looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"

Chen Xuan sat across from the office desk, "At last night's reception, the old patriarch of the Ling Family told me that the Ma Family has been making a lot of little moves, secretly swallowing up the Ma Family's industry."

"When I dealt with Ma Ting back then, I warned Patriarch Qian in person not to target the Ma Family's businesses. Clearly, he didn't take my words seriously."

Lin Wanxi's expression instantly turned grave, "It looks like things are about to escalate."

"I guess the Qian Family won't let it go so easily. You need to be mentally prepared! I also have to prepare countermeasures to prevent us from being caught off guard and falling into a passive situation."

"Don't worry, if the Qian Family truly dares to make a move, I'll destroy them!" Chen Xuan sneered, exuding confidence.

Lin Wanxi pursed her lips, "No wonder my mom has issues with you, listen to what you just said."

"You talk about destroying others as if you're the ruler! Do you really think it's so easy to overturn a first-class family? Be careful you don't end up in trouble because of your big talk."

Hehehe...

Chen Xuan laughed aloud, "Rest assured, making me stumble is harder than reaching the heavens."

Lin Wanxi rolled her eyes and didn't reply, preparing defensively.

...

Qian Yuntian returned to the Qian Family manor with a face like thunder, the fresh red handprint still on his face.

"Yuntian, what happened to your face?"

Qian Hongxuan frowned slightly, obviously knowing he'd been slapped twice.

Hmph!

Qian Yuntian was full of anger and hatred, "That guy Chen Xuan hit me! Grandpa, I can't swallow this anger!"

"Chen Xuan?" Qian Hongxuan was taken aback, "How did you provoke him?"

"At last night's reception, I met Lin Wanxi and was instantly captivated by her."

Qian Yuntian roughly explained, "Chen Xuan insisted that Lin Wanxi was his wife and hit me!"

"Grandpa, him hitting me is equivalent to hitting the face of the Qian Family! We, a dignified first-class family, don't need to fear him, right?"

Qian Hongxuan's expression was indecisive, "Yuntian, this issue needs careful consideration."

"That brat Chen Xuan is not simple. He is closely associated with the Ling Family and has subdued Zhang Zhibao."

"If we fall out with him now, it wouldn't be in the Qian Family's favor."

Qian Yuntian felt extremely frustrated, "Grandpa, are we just going to let this go? As the first grandson of the Qian Family, how can I allow myself to be humiliated like this!"

"Stay calm, I didn't say we have to endure silently and not provoke Chen Xuan."

Qian Hongxuan waved his hand, "Now is not the time, the urgent thing is to fully integrate the Ma Family's industries first."

"By then, the Qian Family will have enough leverage! Forget about Chen Xuan, we'll even wipe out the Ling Family together!"

Qian Yuntian suppressed his anger, "Alright, I'll follow Grandpa's orders."

"Yes, minor patience leads to major strategy! To achieve great things, one must endure temporary humiliation!"

"You are the eldest grandson of the Qian Family. I have high hopes for you, so don't ruin major plans out of impulse," Qian Hongxuan nodded slightly.

This matter was temporarily shelved, and over the next ten days, the Qian Family did nothing.

They continued to secretly maneuver, almost completing the integration of the Ma Family industries.

At that moment, Yang Leshan, who had been home for almost half a month, returned.

She looked very haggard, seemingly having lost weight.

"Shanshan, what's happened to you? Why do you look so worn out?"

"Haven't things at home been resolved? If there's anything difficult, you must tell me."

Lin Wanxi cared deeply about Yang Leshan's situation, seeing her in this condition, she felt very distressed.

"Wanxi..."

Yang Leshan could no longer control her emotions and hugged Lin Wanxi, crying aloud.

Her crying left both Chen Xuan and Lin Wanxi at a loss, wondering what had happened at home...
