Chapter 134: Chapter 134: We Are Serious About Defeating Our Romantic Rival

"Lin Mengyao, don’t give me this sanctimonious attitude. I called you out today to say these things to you because I’m giving you some face. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make you divorce Xu Ke. Don’t force me to leave you without dignity." Lin Mengyao’s attitude completely enraged Yun Rulan. She slammed the table hard, and the loud noise drew everyone’s attention in the entire cafe to them.

There was no need to listen any further. Xu Ke no longer hid himself. He pulled down the gray scarf covering his face and walked directly toward Lin Mengyao, speaking coldly, "Miss Yun, how impressive you are, bullying my wife behind my back. I think I need to ask Elder Yun how he taught his granddaughter."

Xu Ke’s words were like a huge slap, smacking Yun Rulan’s face, causing her once fair and tender face to turn a shade of purplish-red, with tears welling up in her eyes.

"You cunning woman, you secretly called Xu Da-ge here and hid him from me, making me look like a fool. Xu Da-ge, can’t you see this woman is just a manipulative little bitch?" Yun Rulan pointed at Lin Mengyao’s face, forcing down her own shame as she shouted at Xu Ke.

"You’d better put your finger away from pointing at my wife, or I can’t promise what I’ll do to you. Also, I followed her secretly myself today; she didn’t tell me anything. Don’t judge others by your own standards here." Xu Ke pulled Lin Mengyao’s hand, shielding her behind him, and spoke mercilessly to Yun Rulan.

"Xu Da-ge, you actually speak for her." Yun Rulan clutched her chest, her eyes filled with sparkling tears, and her face was a mix of shock and disbelief.

"She is my wife. If I don’t stand by her, should I stand by you?" Xu Ke looked at Yun Rulan as if she were an idiot. From Lin Mengyao’s perspective, she could see Yun Rulan’s body trembling with anger, in stark contrast to her previous arrogance and superiority, leading Lin Mengyao to laugh aloud.

"I hate you, Xu Ke!" The eyes of everyone in the café felt like the hottest flames burning into her, making it impossible for Yun Rulan to stay even a minute longer. She stomped her foot fiercely, shoved Xu Ke aside, and ran out of the café.

Watching Yun Rulan run away in disgrace, Lin Mengyao couldn’t contain her laughter any longer.

"So, it seems you still need me to stand up for you at critical moments. Don’t meet her again next time; I don’t appreciate the things she says to you." Xu Ke said as he tidied Lin Mengyao’s hair, which had become a bit messy from laughing.

"Hmph, don’t think saying this will make me dismiss your sneaky actions today. By the way, aren’t you in trouble for offending her like that today? Won’t the Yun Family come looking for trouble?" After laughing her fill, Lin Mengyao frowned, expressing some concern.

"The Yun Family will soon be too busy with their own troubles to bother us. On the contrary, they will come begging me, even if they know it was my handiwork, hating me with a passion yet still lowering their pride to plead with me to spare them. So, you don’t need to worry about their revenge." Xu Ke said as he stroked Lin Mengyao’s cheek and led her out.

The incident was soon forgotten by the two, but for Yun Rulan, it was the first time in her life she lost face in front of so many people. She cried hysterically until even Elder Yun was alarmed. When Elder Yun was ready to avenge his granddaughter and target the Lin Family, he discovered that the Yun Family’s business encountered problems, leaving them no time to deal with the Lin Family.

Meanwhile, Shen Shao, who had been hospitalized for a long time, finally emerged from the hospital. He had thought about many things and eventually came to Jiahe. He wanted to rise again, trampling all those who humiliated him underfoot, and he wouldn’t spare the woman who betrayed him and wanted to ruin him. He wanted them all to pay a price.

Shen Shao gritted his teeth, eyes filled with strong ambition and determination, before entering the Jiahe building and meeting Xu Ke by following the method left by Xu Ke when he left earlier.

"You’re here today, so I assume you’ve made up your mind." Xu Ke leaned back, resting his chin on his folded hands, and scrutinized Shen Shao with a probing gaze.

"Yes, I hope Mr. Xu can give me a chance to make a comeback." Shen Shao’s facial expression remained unchanged, but the light suddenly shining in his eyes was enough to move Xu Ke.

"It’s not impossible to have an opportunity. However, I have two paths for you to choose from here. One is I invest in buying you a company, and you can manage it yourself. If you need anything, you can come to me, but it might be slow to achieve success."

"What about the other?" Before Xu Ke could finish speaking, Shen Shao leaned forward, interrupting Xu Ke’s words, asking urgently. He had waited long enough, to the point where he could no longer wait.

"The other is to help me with some shady jobs. It comes with life risks, but the benefits and power you gain are the greatest, leading to success the fastest." Xu Ke wasn’t upset about being interrupted but patiently explained these options to Shen Shao.

"I’ve said all I need to say. Now it’s your turn to choose. Which path do you want?" Xu Ke asked.

The office fell silent suddenly, with only the sound of the clock ticking until Shen Shao’s voice broke the silence, "I want to take both paths."

"Being too greedy in life is not good." Xu Ke chuckled lightly.

"I trust my own ability, and I can manage all this well." Shen Shao’s voice came through, confident and assertive.

The office fell silent once again. Xu Ke quietly watched Shen Shao for a long moment before finally flashing a satisfied smile, "I appreciate ambitious people. In three days, I’ll give you a company and introduce you to some people. Ultimately, what you become will depend entirely on you. Don’t disappoint me."

"I will definitely not let you down." Shen Shao said respectfully.

"Go home and prepare to hear from me." Xu Ke finished speaking and gave Shen Shao a signal. Shen Shao stood up from his seat, bowed respectfully, and left.

Outside the doors of Jiahe Group, Shen Shao’s previously tense face finally relaxed, revealing a slight smile. The former gloom was thoroughly swept away, filling him with fighting spirit and motivation.

Even if he has to sell his soul to the devil, he will drag those bastards down to hell with him!
