Chapter 29: Xu Hao’s Intimidation! A Carbon Copy! Pretentiousness Gets Struck Down by Lightning
“Uh… am I seeing this right? She actually turned him down.”
“He’s so infatuated—it even moved me. Plus, he’s rich and not bad-looking. Why wouldn’t she accept?”
“Haha… Not every woman is like you, throwing herself at a guy just because he’s wealthy.”
“Exactly. Honestly, I don’t think he’s all that romantic. If anything, he’s just being clingy. She’s made her rejection crystal clear, but he still won’t give up. Isn’t that just creating trouble for her?”
“Do you guys even understand how to pursue a girl? Being persistent and clingy is the way to go.”
“Yeah, unlike you quitters who give up halfway. How would you know she won’t say yes? No wonder you’re single for life…”
“Oh, right, right, you’re absolutely right. You’re the queen here, aren’t you?”
“…”
The conversation was gradually veering off track.
What started as lighthearted gossip turned into a chaotic quarrel between the women.
Xia Qingge felt utterly helpless against this pest who just wouldn’t let go.
Just as she was about to ignore him and leave, a mocking voice interrupted.
“Haha… I’ve seen shameless people before, but none as shameless as you…”
“She’s already rejected you clearly. Why keep pestering her? Is it fun?”
The murmurs around them quieted down, and everyone turned to look in one direction.
After all, the guy was a rich second-generation heir. Whispering was one thing, but someone actually stepping up to criticize him was another.
Liu Fei’s face darkened instantly.
Following the voice, his pupils shrank as he spotted Chen Mo stepping out of the crowd with a cold sneer.
Liu Fei’s expression shifted but quickly returned to calm.
In his mind, he planned to make Chen Mo’s life miserable, dragging him into despair before throwing him into prison to be dealt with there.
However, before he could carry out his full plan, someone intervened to bail Chen Mo out.
The opposing side’s connections were no weaker than those of the Liu family.
Despite his unwillingness, Liu Fei had to abandon the idea of keeping Chen Mo locked up.
But letting things go? That was impossible.
From childhood to now, his parents had never laid a hand on him, yet this guy beat him to a pulp.
He even wet himself, utterly humiliating himself.
If he didn’t destroy Chen Mo, he wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully.
“And who do you think you are to lecture me?”
Liu Fei’s face was full of disdain for Chen Mo.
He was well aware of Chen Mo’s strength—he had taken down a dozen of Liu Fei’s men effortlessly.
But Liu Fei wasn’t afraid.
If Chen Mo dared to lay a finger on him, he’d be sent straight back to prison.
While the other side had connections to protect Chen Mo, the Liu family’s network wasn’t inferior.
Both sides were evenly matched—it was just a matter of who made the first mistake.
Chen Mo understood this too, which was why he hadn’t immediately sought revenge upon his release.
Remembering what Liu Fei had done to him in the interrogation room made Chen Mo grit his teeth in anger.
At first, he had only wanted revenge against Liu Fei.
Now, with the Liu family involved, he wouldn’t spare any of them.
“I may not have the qualifications to lecture you, but what makes you so special? If not for your privileged father, you’d be nothing but trash.”
“Oh wait… calling you trash is an insult to the word. You’re worse than trash.”
Liu Fei’s face darkened even further.
A pair of eyes burned with venomous hatred.
Internally, he roared furiously, I want this bastard dead!
Why does this scene feel so familiar?
Chen Mo froze for a moment.
It was exactly like three years ago.
Back then, Liu Fei confessed his love at the classroom door, and Chen Mo stepped in to rescue the goddess he admired.
But instead of gratitude, he faced retaliation.
That landed him in prison for three years. Now, however, he had enough power to ensure no one could control his fate again.
Wait.
This wasn’t entirely the same as three years ago.
This time, Xia Qingge was standing right beside him. When Liu Fei harassed her, Chen Mo had stepped up to defend her.
Surely, this must have moved Xia Qingge, right?
Chen Mo took a step forward, intent on striking up a conversation with her.
Maybe, just maybe, things would escalate, and she might even throw herself into his arms.
But…
Before he could get close to Xia Qingge, another figure had already reached her side.
Chen Mo’s eyes nearly spat fire.
Xu Hao!
Why was it this guy again?
In fact, Xu Hao had noticed the commotion long ago.
When he saw Liu Fei pestering Xia Qingge, he initially intended to step in and send him away.
But then, he spotted Chen Mo in the crowd.
He changed his mind. He decided to let the two clash and deepen their hatred for each other.
“Qingge, what’s going on?” Xu Hao asked Xia Qingge, feigning confusion.
Xia Qingge immediately explained the situation, detailing how Liu Fei had been bothering her.
Finally, she lowered her head and apologized.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Xu. I’ve caused trouble…”
“This isn’t your fault,” Xu Hao replied with a smile. His gaze shifted to Liu Fei.
Liu Fei, of course, recognized Xu Hao.
This was someone his father couldn’t even get close to—a person he had to treat with utmost respect.
He quickly stepped forward and greeted him deferentially.
“Uncle Xu…”
“You’re from the Liu family, right?”
Hearing this, Liu Fei felt a surge of joy. He hadn’t expected such a powerful figure to remember him.
But before he could revel in the moment, Xu Hao’s tone turned icy.
“Immediately, right now, get out of my sight.”
“Qingge is now an employee of my company. If you dare harass her again, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
The coldness in his voice, combined with his commanding presence, instantly terrified Liu Fei.
Though he was usually arrogant, he knew well enough whom he could and couldn’t provoke.
And Xu Hao was someone he absolutely couldn’t afford to cross.
Sure, the Liu family had some money, but at most, their assets amounted to a billion.
In front of a conglomerate worth tens of billions, it was insignificant.
Liu Fei’s face turned pale with fear.
If his father found out that he had angered someone as powerful as Xu Hao, he would undoubtedly beat him to death.
Under Xu Hao’s intimidating gaze, Liu Fei shivered uncontrollably.
