School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 435 : The Shrew’s Curses in the Street

"Did it hurt a lot last night?" Xiao Han asked.

"Yes!" Chen Zihan nodded and said, "But I also felt very happy. Even if I might not be your woman in the future, at least I was your woman last night, wasn't I?"

Xiao Han was moved, he wrapped an arm around Chen Zihan, and then said, "You silly thing, you really make my heart ache."

"So, do you feel guilty inside?" Chen Zihan giggled.

"I do feel guilty towards you!" Xiao Han nodded.

"Then live with that guilt for the rest of your life," Chen Zihan smiled. She deftly wriggled out from Xiao Han's embrace and turned on her phone.

As soon as it powered on, a stream of text messages flooded in.

Although Chen Zihan had mentally prepared herself, her face still went through a series of changes. There were more than thirty text messages in total, thirty of which were from her mother and a few from classmates.

Seeing the frantic text messages from her mother, Chen Zihan almost collapsed.

"I need to call my mom back," Chen Zihan hurriedly said.

"Sure!" Xiao Han nodded.

Chen Zihan immediately dialed her mother's number. As soon as the call connected after a single ring, a voice burst out, "Zi Han, where are you!"

The voice was filled with rage.

"I'm at a classmate's house!" Chen Zihan quickly said.

"Which classmate?!" Mother Chen demanded angrily.

"I…" Chen Zihan was suddenly at a loss for words.

"Don't lie to me," Mother Chen said furiously. "I've called all your classmates except the male ones. Are you staying overnight at a male classmate's house?"

"No, I'm not!" Chen Zihan shook her head.

"Then where are you?! Speak up!" Mother Chen questioned sharply again and again.

"I…" Chen Zihan, feeling helpless, turned to look at Xiao Han, then said with resignation, "I'm at the Sheraton Hotel."

"You!" Mother Chen asked urgently upon hearing this, "Who are you with?"

"Xiao Han!" Chen Zihan said with resolution in her tone.

"You!" At that, Mother Chen almost fainted and immediately hung up the phone.

Chen Zihan, holding the phone, slumped onto the sofa, bereft of the energy even to lift her head, and said softly, "My mom knows, Xiao Han, what do we do? What do we do?"

"Don't be afraid!" Xiao Han shook his head and then said, "Some things you just have to face."

Chen Zihan shivered, "But I'm scared!"

Chen Zihan had always been afraid of her mother since she was young, and had always followed her mother's arrangements. Her destiny was controlled by her mother. Even for an important life event like the college entrance exam, she gave it up under her mother's interference and chose to apply to Harvard University.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here for you!" Xiao Han smiled.

Chen Zihan managed a slight smile and nodded, "What major joy or sorrow haven't I been through? Why worry about this?"

Afterwards, the two of them got dressed neatly, then left the room.

After they had checked out, Xiao Han and Chen Zihan walked out of the hotel lobby. Just as they emerged from the lobby, a black Volkswagen sped across from the opposite side of the road. It was very fast and rushed up to the hotel entrance in the blink of an eye.

Then, Mother Chen quickly jumped out of the car, and Chen Zihan's father, who was driving, also hurriedly followed suit after parking the car.

Chen Zihan's face changed slightly, and she quickly went to meet her mother.

"Mom!" Chen Zihan called out.

Snap…

Mother Chen slapped her across the face, her voice trembling with fury as she scolded, "You! Are you trying to kill me?!"

Chen Zihan covered her face, tears welling up in her eyes, she bowed her head and said softly, "I'm sorry!"

"Don't say you're sorry to me," Mother Chen glared at Chen Zihan, then said, "Who allowed you to book a room at the hotel? Was it that little bastard who lured you here? I'll call the police, how dare he rape my daughter!"

Mother Chen had already noticed the way Chen Zihan was walking, last night, the purity her daughter had guarded for nineteen years was taken away by that bastard Xiao Han. Any mother would probably rage to the point of spitting blood.

Mother Chen was seething with rage. Chen Zihan hurriedly grabbed her mother's hand and said, "No, he didn't abduct me. I went willingly!"

"You, are you trying to infuriate me to death?" Mother Chen was so angry she was nearly spitting blood.

Her husband, standing beside her, quickly supported her and suggested, "Let's go back first. We'll discuss this at home."

"No!" Mother Chen clenched her teeth. She pushed her husband away and then slowly walked towards Xiao Han. Her eyes were blazing with fire. Facing the man who had taken her daughter's virginity, her contempt for Xiao Han was deep and heartfelt. "Xiao Han, you…"

"Auntie," Xiao Han maintained his gentlemanly smile and said, "Zi Han and I are in love. It's mutual consent."

"Shut your mouth!" Mother Chen's face turned pale, her facial muscles trembling, revealing a fierce expression, "Do you think that just because you took my daughter's virginity, you can have her for life? Do you think your preemptive scheme will succeed? Let me tell you, forget about it!"

"I have never thought that by taking Zi Han's virginity I could own her for life," Xiao Han said with a serene smile, and then added, "But, I do believe in the infinite power of love, and I believe we will be together."

"You're daydreaming!" Mother Chen almost spat at Xiao Han, but to maintain her image, she forcibly held back. "What do you think you are? Do you have a car? A house? Do you have an income? You're nothing but a student."

"Auntie, I wonder if you've ever heard a saying," Xiao Han smiled.

"What saying?" Mother Chen was taken aback.

"Better to bully an old man than a young man in poverty," Xiao Han said with a smile.

"What do you think you are?" Mother Chen sneered dismissively, "Do you really think that by being a top scorer in the college entrance exam, you can change your identity, your social status? Let me tell you, even after you graduate from college, you will still have to work for others, live as a wage earner all your life!"

With a faint smile, Xiao Han said, "Auntie, sometimes, one really ought to look higher, otherwise, one will always be a frog at the bottom of a well."

"You!" Mother Chen was beside herself with rage. She wished she could strangle Xiao Han on the spot. She took a deep breath to steady her emotions and then said, "You bastard, I won't let you see my daughter for the rest of my life."

"Mom, what are you doing?" Chen Zihan looked helplessly at her mother and said, "How are you any different from a shrew shouting in the street?"

"How can you be so shameless?" Mother Chen could only direct her fury at her own daughter and scolded, "What's so great about him? How does he compare to Jiang Xiaoliang? After Jiang Xiaoliang graduates from Peking University, he's definitely going to take over the family's Meida Group. And Xiao Han? Even if he scores high on the college entrance exam, he'll still end up just working for others, part of society's lower strata. He'll never be able to integrate into high society."

"Isn't it enough for two people to be in love when they're together?" Chen Zihan's eyes brimmed with tears as she said, "As long as we have enough money to spend, what's the point of having so much money? What's the use of sitting on a pile of gold if it doesn't bring happiness?"

"What do you understand!" Mother Chen huffed coldly and said, "I spent a fortune on your training in noble etiquette, dance, and study abroad, all for the sake of your being able to integrate into high society in the future. Yet you insist on being with a pauper. Are you not ashamed of all the money I've invested in you?"

"Mom!" Chen Zihan shouted angrily, "So, the training in noble etiquette, learning to dance, studying abroad, they were all investments for you?"

"Of course!" Mother Chen nodded unapologetically and then said, "So, you should win some glory for me."

"I no longer care for your investment," Chen Zihan said, her face twisted, voice trembling.

Having said that, she ran off towards the opposite side of the road.

"Daughter, daughter…" Father Chen hurried out after her.

But Chen Zihan rushed across the road, as the streetlights came on and the traffic whizzed by, Father Chen was blocked by the flow of cars. He could only watch helplessly as his daughter disappeared into the high-rises on the other side.

"Daughter!" Father Chen shouted.

"Is this the result you wanted?" Mother Chen said coldly, looking at Xiao Han.

Xiao Han glanced at her and said, "All of this is but a consequence of your own making."

"You!" Mother Chen glared furiously at Xiao Han.

Xiao Han turned around and walked away, completely ignoring her wrathful stare.

"Xiao Han, you're doomed to be poor for the rest of your life, you can't even count as a 'phoenix man,'" Mother Chen cursed vehemently at Xiao Han's retreating figure, her angry roar continued, "You'll never transform from a crow to a phoenix. Never ever…"

Anger, nothing but anger, filled Mother Chen's heart along with venomous curses.

It was as if she had painstakingly nurtured a cabbage only for a pig to root it out just when it was time to harvest. No wonder Mother Chen's heart was collapsing, and no wonder she was so unwilling and dissatisfied. Her daughter was her hope, and she had placed all her hopes in her. She wanted her daughter to lead a life of glory and high status, yet Xiao Han had thwarted her plans by getting there first.

Mother Chen kept cursing at Xiao Han's back.

"Enough!" Chen Zihan's father urgently pulled his wife into the car and said, "Stop the cursing. What good does it do to curse him? What has happened, has happened. What's the use of shouting till your voice is hoarse?"

"I am so angry," Mother Chen was extremely vexed.

"Alright, alright, let's quickly get in the car and look for our daughter," Father Chen said helplessly.

......

Xiao Han headed back home alone.

Mother Xiao had gone to work, and there was no one at home. Xiao Han lay weakly on the couch. Seeing the blow that Chen Zihan had received pained him. Although he wanted to say something, he felt that anything he said would be superfluous. Nothing he said would make any difference.
