Chapter 108: the well-behaved child that I’ve beaten
Xu Si, seemingly lost in thought, sipped her flower tea without approaching to greet anyone or striking up a conversation with the young Master Chen. She simply listened to their conversation, leaning back in her comfortable chair and quietly soaking up the sun.
The young man’s tone with young Master Chen was not very polite—as if issuing a command.
"Chen Shihua, I am your elder brother. I would never harm you. Getting in touch with the Sanlian Chamber of Commerce will do you no harm; just listen to me."
Chen Shihua had matured compared to a few years ago. He no longer dyed his hair blond, his gaze wasn’t as fierce, and his posture was no longer that of a street ruffian. Dressed in a casual suit, he still looked somewhat unconvinced.
"Hey, big brother, keep your voice down. Is it so honorable to cozy up to the triads? Everyone knows the Sanlian Chamber of Commerce is comprised of outsiders. Our family business is huge, so why should I lower myself and suck up to others just because you started a business? Even if I have to be a dog, I’d be a fierce dog that people wouldn’t dare to kick."
Chen Shihua’s elder brother pursed his lips, a hint of amusement in his tone. "Have you ever been a dog?"
"Nonsense," Chen Shihua glanced at him with a disdainful look. "Are you kidding me? I, young Master Chen, was born on Hong Kong Island, and I’ve never bowed down to anyone in my life! Be a dog? Others should count themselves lucky to be a dog for me."
These days, the textile industry was still quite profitable, and the Chen Family was indeed very prominent and prosperous.
Xu Si raised her eyebrows. Gripping her iced honey tea, she felt its coolness as she remembered the time this brat had beaten the well-behaved Pei Zhen. Her eyes narrowed instantly, and her expression became subtly complex.
Back then, Pei Zhen was gentle and well-mannered.
Indeed, he was an easy target for such a brash and indulged young master to bully.
She could feel a cool gaze coming from the side.
