Chapter 311: Chapter 309: Starting from Three Years, Up to the Death Penalty!【Second Update】

Shangguan Changhong saw his cousin’s face, beaten into a state as if kneaded into dough, and couldn’t help but rage internally.

"Changyun, who did this?"

Upon seeing his cousin coming, Shangguan Changyun immediately started pouring out his grievances like a wronged woman.

Shangguan Changhong huffed angrily, glancing over at Li Chen’s table.

However, when he saw Li Chen, he was taken aback.

"Why him?"

Just as Shangguan Changhong was hesitating whether to go in or not, Li Chen suddenly turned around, raised his wine glass towards him, and said, "Aren’t old acquaintances supposed to greet each other?"

Shangguan Changhong huffed angrily again and strode over.

"Li Chen, this is the Capital, not your Jiangnan!"

Li Chen nodded, saying, "I know, and I also know that this Tianxiang Building is a property owned by your Shangguan Family!"

"If you know all that and still dare to make a scene here, do you really think our Shangguan Family can just be pushed around by anyone?"

Li Chen shrugged and casually retorted, "Isn’t it?"

"Dammit, you..."

Shangguan Changhong didn’t expect Li Chen to be so arrogant, and was momentarily left speechless.

Shangguan Changyun spoke in a rage, "Brother, why waste words on him? If we don’t teach him a harsh lesson, he won’t understand the gravity of his actions!"

At this moment, Shangguan Changhong felt like he was in a no-win situation.

He knew deep down he was no match for Li Chen. If he acted rashly, he would only humiliate himself.

But to leave in such a disgraceful way was also a blow to his pride.

Nervous that Shangguan Changhong would start a fight and injure Li Chen, causing the situation to escalate, Ning Xiaoqing quickly came forward to mediate: "Young Master Shangguan, this incident started because of me. Here, let me offer you a drink as an apology."

Hearing Ning Xiaoqing’s words, Shangguan Changhong grudgingly accepted the way out, "Alright, for your sake, I will not stoop to his level. I’ll pass on the drink; you all continue!"

Saying this, he glared at Li Chen fiercely and turned away.

Shangguan Changhong’s sudden departure caught everyone at the scene off guard.

Especially Shangguan Changyun, who was utterly bewildered.

He glanced at Ning Xiaoqing and Li Chen, then at the retreating figure of Shangguan Changhong and hurriedly followed him.

"Big brother, why are you leaving?"

Once outside the room, Shangguan Changhong stopped and fiercely glared at his cousin, who was good for nothing but messing things up.

Shangguan Changyun was startled, and the words at his lips were forcibly swallowed down.

Shangguan Changhong glanced at him and asked, "Changyun, don’t you like Ning Xiaoqing?"

Shangguan Changyun looked puzzled, uncertain why his brother would suddenly bring this up, but still answered honestly.

"Yes, but she doesn’t like me!"

Shangguan Changhong said resentfully, "It’s not up to her. In aristocratic families, aren’t the women always used as tools for marriage alliances, seeking allies for the family?"

Shangguan Changyun found his brother’s words reasonable and nodded in realization.

Shangguan Changhong saw that his foolish younger brother understood his words and continued, "If I reprimand Li Chen in front of Ning Xiaoqing, things will inevitably blow up. If handled carelessly, our Shangguan Family might end up making enemies with the Ning Family. Then, forming a marriage alliance between us would become as difficult as scaling the heavens."

Hearing this reasonable explanation, Shangguan Changyun was deeply moved.

Other prominent young masters were also touched by this brotherly concern from Shangguan Changhong.

After wiping away his tears and snot, Shangguan Changyun said, "Big brother, are we just going to let this go? Did I get slapped in vain?"

Shangguan Changhong shook his head, his squinting eyes suddenly showing a chill.

"Of course not, but not here. I’ll ask Xuanwu to take action, and make sure he has no place for his burial!"

...

Meanwhile, Ning Qian’er was teasing her older sister.

"Sis, I never thought your face carried so much weight that even Shangguan Changhong has to give you face!"

Ning Xiaoqing gave her mischievous younger sister a glance and said, "Stop the nonsense and eat your meal!"

Though she said so, the pride in her expression was unmistakable.

Could it really be because of her own face? But that shouldn’t be the case, maybe Sister Shang might give her that face, but she was just a concubine’s daughter with limited prospects, no future prospects, no looks...

Thinking of "looks," she deliberately looked at herself in the mirror. Though not a stunner that could topple cities, she still considered herself quite beautiful.

With this thought, Ning Xiaoqing began to daydream, her pretty face showing two words: love-struck!

Li Chen, who was currently engaged in a life-and-death struggle with an Australian lobster, knew very well Shangguan Changhong’s current thoughts.

And Li Chen also knew that this wasn’t someone who would just let things go easily. He definitely had more moves planned, waiting for him.

However, he was not afraid.

An hour later, full and satisfied, Li Chen wiped his mouth and said, "I have some errands, you sisters head back first!"

Ning Xiaoqing said "Okay," and was about to take Ning Qian’er home.

Ning Qian’er broke free from her sister’s arm and said I want to say a few more words to Li Chen.

After speaking, she pulled Li Chen aside and mysteriously said, "Li Chen, where are you going? Are you going to climb walls again?"

Li Chen rolled his eyes at her and said, "Climb your sister!"

Ning Qian’er, with an exaggerated expression, said, "You beast, my sister is only twelve, a little girl, and you don’t spare her either!"

While saying this, she even held out three fingers solemnly, "Three years minimum, up to the death penalty!"

Li Chen was speechless, almost spitting blood.

Seeing Li Chen frustrated, Ning Qian’er giggled and said, "Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. The Shangguan Family suffered such a big loss, they won’t let it go, just be careful!"

Facing Ning Qian’er’s kind warning, Li Chen smiled and nodded.

"Alright, I got it!"

Though he said this, he was actually mumbling inside that the one who should really be careful is Shangguan Changhong.

When he went to the front desk to pay the bill, the receptionist told him, someone had settled his bill, and also left him a note.

Li Chen looked at the note, which only had eight words: "Tomorrow night at ten, see you at Juyong Pass!"

The note was unsigned, but the heavy strokes indicated that the person who wrote these words was filled with deep hatred.

Li Chen casually crumpled the note into a ball and threw it in the trash bin, muttering "Interesting," before turning and walking out the door.
