Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Making Trouble

Xu Ke cast a cold glance at Chairman Hu, choosing not to argue with him, but instead contacted Housekeeper Zhao to advance the plan.

"Why are you silent? Could it be that you’re silently reciting scriptures in your mind and trying to cultivate patience?" Chairman Hu, seeing that Xu Ke was ignoring him and had closed his eyes, adopted a contemptuous demeanor, continuing to speak without mercy, "Youngsters should behave like youngsters, daring to try and lecture their elders is simply outrageous."

"Old Hu, everyone is watching you. If you have something to say, save it for home, don’t say it here." The woman who had been accompanying Chairman Hu at the banquet leaned against him now, her jade-like hands soothing his breath, presenting a picture of a gentle and virtuous woman.

"Hmph!" Chairman Hu cast a glance at the woman and snorted heavily, ultimately saying nothing further.

Until the auction ended, there was no exchange between Xu Ke and Chairman Hu; each collected their respective auction items, then met once more at the entrance.

The two stared at each other without saying a word, but the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. Just then, a black projectile bolted towards the woman beside Chairman Hu before anyone could react.

"Ah!" The woman’s scream exploded next to Chairman Hu’s ear, startling him and making his heartbeat race for a moment, almost causing him to collapse.

"Ah, it turns out to be Chairman Hu’s precious daughter." Xu Ke, seeing Hu Jinzhi pull the woman’s hair, swiftly dragging her away from Chairman Hu, bore a fierce expression as he stood aside, alerting those unaware of Hu Jinzhi’s identity.

"Jinzhi, let go of your Aunt Long, there are so many people here, what are you doing!" Chairman Hu, seeing his daughter harm his lady with many successful people around, felt a rush of blood to his head, momentarily blacking out.

Hu Jinzhi paid no attention to Chairman Hu’s cries; she focused solely on pressing Long Mei beneath her, her hands striking fiercely at the other’s face, while cursing angrily, "You shameless vixen, seducing my father, if I don’t beat you to death! Is it with that face you bewitch my father into a stupor? I’m going to ruin it now, and see what you have left to seduce men, you shameless slut!"

"I didn’t, let me go, I didn’t." Long Mei, covering her face tightly, revealed eyes filled with resentment through her fingers. If not for concerns over Chairman Hu, she would never allow herself to be in such a passive position; she would definitely settle this score with Hu Jinzhi sooner or later.

"Damn you for looking at me with those eyes! You are nothing but a bitch, a whore, a slut ridden by thousands, you have no right to look at me like that! If I don’t beat you to death!" Hu Jinzhi, seeing Long Mei’s eyes through her fingers, grew even more irritable, acting like a shrew causing a scene at the auction entrance, utterly ignoring others’ gazes.

"Jinzhi, stop it right now, whatever it is, let’s discuss it at home, not here," Chairman Hu said with a darkened face.

Chairman Hu spoke while trying to pull Hu Jinzhi’s arm, wanting to drag his daughter off Long Mei, only for Hu Jinzhi to fling his hand away.

"Why not here? I want everyone to see this woman is a homewrecking vixen, someone who sleeps with whoever! I want to make sure she can’t show her face in Shangjing again!" Hu Jinzhi looked at Chairman Hu with eyes filled with anger and hurt; her meticulously done makeup was ruined with tears washing away her eyeliner, leaving two black streaks on her face.

"Doing this only makes you a laughingstock. If you have grievances, talk to me at home; there’s no need to make it ugly in public. Making such a scene, what good does it do you? In the future, when people in Shangjing talk about you, they’ll remember your outburst today. Do you still want to get married?" Chairman Hu again grabbed Hu Jinzhi’s hand, lowering his voice as he spoke.

"I don’t care, I don’t mind, I just want justice for my mom. I know you’re ashamed of me, think I’ve embarrassed you, but let me tell you, I don’t care at all. And do you really think what you’re saying is for my own good? If you really cared about me, you wouldn’t be with this woman. Mom loved you and this family so much, and what you do with this woman disgusts her and keeps her spirit from resting in peace."

"I tell you, if you stop me today, we will sever all ties; I will never recognize you as my father. Did you hear me? Between her and me, you can only choose one." Hu Jinzhi shouted hoarsely at Chairman Hu.

"Slap!" Chairman Hu slapped Hu Jinzhi across the face, leaving a clear handprint on her cheek, plunging the atmosphere into a momentary silence.

Hu Jinzhi clutched her face incredulously, looking at the slightly flustered Chairman Hu and said with a trembling voice, "You hit me? You’re willing to hit me for this thing, hehehe." Hu Jinzhi laughed with shivering body, rose from Long Mei under Chairman Hu’s gaze, "From today on, you are no longer my father; we have no relationship. I will take nothing from the Hu Family and never return. Just live with this seductive fox."

Ignoring Chairman Hu’s pained and panicked gaze, Hu Jinzhi ran away from the auction entrance, with a malicious glee yet at a heavy personal cost.

"Chairman Hu, aren’t you going to chase after her? I reckon if you don’t, the father-daughter bond might truly be severed." Having watched the drama for free, Xu Ke slowly walked to Chairman Hu’s side and said.

"Old Hu, you should go after Jinzhi. I don’t want you and your daughter to be unhappy because of me." Long Mei staggered up from the ground, her face bruised with scratches, her hairstyle a mess, and her clothes covered in dust from rolling on the ground, now cutting a sorry figure, yet she attempted to smile, speaking softly to appear more gentle.

"Is this your doing?" Chairman Hu glanced at Long Mei, then turned his gaze to Xu Ke, eyes filled with enough rage to destroy everything.

"What are you talking about?" Xu Ke feigned a puzzled expression.

"Stop pretending, I know it’s all your doing. We just had a quarrel at the auction, and you resort to such underhanded tricks? Xu Ke, I underestimated you before, but let me tell you this is not over. If anything happens to my Jinzhi, I will drag you down with me." Chairman Hu spoke through clenched teeth.

"Drag me down with you? You’re hardly qualified. Hurry and chase after her, or you might lose her." Xu Ke gave Chairman Hu a provocative smile, then turned and walked away.
