Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife - Chapter 244: Call me big brother and let me hear it
Just as Chen Xiao and Xu Yanran were about to leave the private room, they heard the commotion and immediately looked up.
"Who touched my brother? Get the hell out here!"
Cheng Lin stormed in, shouting arrogantly as he strode into the room with his head held high. As a direct descendant of the Capital City’s Cheng Family, he certainly had the confidence to be arrogant. After all, most people would be scared silly on the spot just by hearing his family’s name.
Although he had heard from Xiao Chen that their opponent had some martial skill, his Cheng Family was no pushover. If anyone dared to harm a single hair on Cheng Lin’s head, the Cheng Family would not let it slide. After all, these great families valued their reputation above all else. A family member being bullied was no different from letting someone squat on their heads and shit!
As Cheng Lin’s domineering voice echoed, Lu Rugao’s long, snow-white legs also stepped into the room. With her arms crossed, she looked like she was just there to watch the show. Han Xin and the others followed them in, chattering about how they would deal with the offender. But when they saw Chen Xiao in the room, their faces instantly turned ashen, and their arrogance deflated on the spot.
Lu Rugao, in particular, looked deathly pale. Seeing Chen Xiao’s playful eyes, she felt an immediate urge to flee.
After all, Chen Xiao is an unpredictable troublemaker who does as he pleases; there’s nothing he wouldn’t dare do. And right now, the Protector sent by the Lu Family hasn’t arrived in Yuncheng City yet.
Gaining a surge of confidence, Xiao Chen shouted again, "Kid! You’re so screwed! I told you not to mess with me. Do you really think I’ve just been loafing around all these years?"
"Let me tell you, this is my brother, Young Master Cheng Lin of the Capital City’s Cheng Family! This lady is Miss Han Xin from the Capital City’s Han Family! And this is the young lady of the Lu Family, one of the Capital City’s Five Great Families!" he sneered. "My Xiao Family might not be able to handle you, but surely the young masters and misses from these great Capital City families can! Your meager strength is nothing but an ant before them!"
Pausing, he turned to Cheng Lin. "Young Master Cheng, I’m not asking for much today. Just make him kneel and crawl between my legs, and then have that woman over there serve me well."
Xu Kang and Liu Ya grew tense, their palms sweating. They never imagined Xiao Chen could summon such powerful backup. Any one of these descendants from the Capital City’s great families could crush them with a single finger!
But Cheng Lin’s face was as foul as if he had just eaten shit. How did Xiao Chen manage to offend this lunatic? He might be able to use his family’s influence to pressure others, but this guy isn’t even afraid of Lu Rugao. With martial prowess that even Jin Zilong couldn’t handle, how could he possibly dare to speak up? Others might give the Cheng Family some face, but with Chen Xiao’s roguish personality, he’d probably just get slapped and utterly humiliated. He was already regretting showing off and getting involved in this mess.
Chen Xiao stared at Cheng Lin and coolly asked, "You’re his brother? You’re here to stick up for him?"
Cheng Lin’s expression stiffened, and he glanced at Lu Rugao.
With an impassive face, Lu Rugao said flatly, "Let’s go."
She had no desire to be touched by him again. Being touched once was enough to make her feel disgusted for three days.
"Misunderstanding, a total misunderstanding! We walked into the wrong room! You all have fun, haha..." Cheng Lin forced an ugly smile and started to turn away.
"Young Master Cheng, what... what’s going on?" Xiao Chen was dumbfounded. "This isn’t the wrong room! That’s the guy who hit me! Didn’t you say you were going to teach him a lesson for me?"
Cheng Lin cursed under his breath, "You moron, you provoked a guy who fears neither heaven nor earth. Even Miss Lu doesn’t want to confront him directly, and you’re putting me on the spot? You’re on your own now!"
Xiao Chen was stunned. He glanced at Lu Rugao and saw that her beautiful face was indeed unnatural, her body so tense that she looked ready to bolt. The smile on his face slowly froze. He had already been planning to flee, but then Cheng Lin made him come back for some brutal payback. And now he was telling him he couldn’t afford to provoke Chen Xiao?
Is he toying with me?
Seeing Lu Rugao about to leave, a cold smirk appeared on Chen Xiao’s lips. "Miss Lu, in such a hurry?"
Lu Rugao stopped. "What do you want?"
She was already trying to avoid this guy, and now he was pushing his luck?
Chen Xiao chuckled. "It’s only been a day or two, and you miss me already? Don’t tell me you’ve come to your senses and are ready to fulfill your promise?"
Lu Rugao bit her lip. "You’re overthinking it. I just walked into the wrong room. I’m leaving."
"Wait!" Chen Xiao said suddenly. "I don’t recall giving you permission to leave."
At his words, Xiao Chen, Xu Kang, and Liu Ya were all stupefied.
Has this guy lost his mind? How dare he speak to Lu Rugao like that?
Lu Rugao’s pretty face turned as dark as a thundercloud. This guy... he’s really fucking asking for a beating.
She ignored Chen Xiao and started to walk away again.
But his cold voice drifted over, "If you take one more step, I don’t mind making you fulfill your promise right here. This private room is an enclosed space, after all. It’s more than big enough."
Hearing this, Lu Rugao froze, her eyes blazing with fire. "What exactly do you want?"
Chen Xiao smiled nonchalantly. "Call me ’good brother’ once. If I like what I hear, I’ll let you all go."
Lu Rugao seethed with rage and humiliation. She couldn’t imagine how mortifying it would be to utter such words.
"Chen Xiao, don’t push your luck!"
Chen Xiao didn’t reply, simply maintaining his smile as he walked toward her, step by step.
Lu Rugao panicked, cursing him inwardly. Finally, she took a deep breath.
"Good... Bro... ther."
The three syllables were forced from between her clenched teeth, one by one. One could easily imagine the sheer rage and humiliation in her voice. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
"Not bad. You’re much more sensible this time. You know how to be obedient," Chen Xiao said, stroking her smooth cheek. "It seems a proud young lady like you just needs to be ’educated’ this way."
His shameless words made Lu Rugao’s face flush crimson, and she gritted her teeth in fury.
’Educated’... This guy is deliberately using such lewd words just to provoke me.
She asked coldly, "Can I leave now?"
"Of course," Chen Xiao smiled. "But remember to keep your myriad skills at the ready. You still have to come and keep me company for a month."
"Let’s go!" Lu Rugao wasted no more time, turning and leaving with Cheng Lin and the others.
Xiao Chen tried to slip away with them, but Chen Xiao snatched him up like a chicken.
"You really like calling for backup, huh?"
Xiao Chen trembled with fear, not daring to breathe. The next second, Chen Xiao threw him back into the private room. Xu Yanran tactfully closed the door.
Watching Chen Xiao advance, Xiao Chen swallowed nervously and began to plead for his life.
Chen Xiao patted his cheek with a smile. "Go on, call for more backup. Let’s see what you’re really capable of. You had a chance to leave earlier, but you didn’t take it. Now, you can’t leave even if you want to."
Xiao Chen was on the verge of tears. "Boss, I was really leaving! It was Cheng Lin who told me to come back to settle the score! It has nothing to do with me..."
Chen Xiao said coolly, "You have five minutes. Call for backup."
Xiao Chen shivered. Even a young lady from a top-tier family like Lu Rugao had to back down in front of Chen Xiao, so what kind of backup could he possibly summon? Just then, an idea struck him, and he immediately pulled out his phone to make a call.
"Young Master Li? Oh, yes, it’s me, Xiao Chen... I’ve been beaten up in Yuncheng City. Could you ask Mayor Li to send some people over to help me out?"
Lu Rugao, a powerful outsider, couldn’t handle Chen Xiao without her people. But maybe Li Buyi, a local authority with real power, could make a difference by bringing reinforcements?
Hearing his plea, Li Chengqian grew anxious. "Young Master Xiao, who dares to lay a hand on you on Yuncheng City’s turf? I’ll send people right over to see that justice is served!"
Xiao Chen was in Yuncheng City to invest. As the host, Li Chengqian couldn’t just stand by and watch his guest get bullied.
Just then, Chen Xiao took the phone. "Young Master Li? It’s me, Chen Xiao."
