Chapter 487: What’s Wrong With Taking Your Things?_1
Just as the three of them were boasting, the sound of footsteps approached, and Shen Xiaoqin came over, carrying two fruit plates. She had just gone to wash the fruits.
"Second Brother, how come you’re here? How has the family been recently?" Shen Xiaoqin put down the fruit plates and sat on the sofa, smiling as she looked at Shen Mingqiang.
Shen Mingqiang replied indifferently, "Everything at home is pretty good. This time we came because Yugang is going to undertake a Martial Alliance assessment, and Xiaoqian has gotten into university, she’s going to study at Dingjing University."
"Xiaoqian got into university? That’s great news! So impressive! Wait for me, okay?" Shen Xiaoqin didn’t know what the Martial Alliance was, but when she heard that Shen Xiaoqian had been admitted to university, she immediately beamed with joy and excused herself before heading upstairs.
At that moment, the door opened and Jiang Chen entered with Xuan Long.
"Xiao Chen is back." The impression Jiang Chen had left back in his hometown was so fierce that Shen Mingqiang still felt somewhat uneasy seeing him now.
"Second uncle is here, what brings you?" Jiang Chen replied casually as he walked over and sat on the sofa, while Xuan Long stood at the door, staring at Shen Mingqiang and his companions.
Upon hearing Jiang Chen’s nonchalant response, Shen Yugang’s face hardened, and he snapped, "Jiang Chen, what, you’ve made some money and now you look down on us poor relatives, is that it?"
Shen Yugang wanted to strike first verbally, seeing how wealthy Jiang Chen was, his family of three had already harbored ulterior motives, wanting to morally pressure Jiang Chen into feeling embarrassed so that they could then make their demands. Even if they couldn’t dominate him, they wanted to have the moral high ground.
But was Jiang Chen that easy to push around? If it had been before, perhaps there would have been a discussion, but ever since his psychological changes, Jiang Chen was no longer the person who would endure everything silently.
"If you want people to respect you, you need to have qualities that command respect. You come into my house making all this noise, and you still expect me to respect you? What are you thinking?" Jiang Chen retorted unceremoniously.
Shen Yugang was taken aback and fell momentarily speechless.
