Chapter 6 Kneeling
A clean, low-rent apartment, four dishes—this was the familiar dinner time for Xiao Chen at his adoptive parents' home.
It was an ordinary scene, but it was incredibly heartwarming in Xiao Chen's eyes.
“My family is poor. In my previous life, I was bewitched and focused all my attention on the Xiao family, neglecting them. I was such a bastard!” Xiao Chen felt guilty and decided to change the situation.
A knock sounded at the door, and the foster mother, Zhang Qin, went to open it.
"Young Miss...why have you come!" Zhang Qin's panicked voice came from behind.
Xiao Yiyi led the two people into the house.
The shabby place made her frown, her disgust undisguised.
Xiao Yiyi sat down with a look of disdain and glanced at her subordinate.
A bag was thrown on the coffee table in front of Xiao Chen, and it was full of red banknotes.
“Here’s 500,000. Go to the station and turn yourself in tomorrow,” Xiao Yiyi said impatiently. “Your net worth is far less than that, but I’ll give you more because we share the same surname.”
Her expression was that of someone giving alms to a beggar, condescending and carrying an arrogant pity.
Xiao Chen suddenly felt a surge of anger.
All of Xiao Yiyi's achievements were given to her by him. Without him, she would be nothing. So what is she so proud of?
Five hundred thousand yuan, and they want him to confess, wasting years of his youth, losing everything...
wishful thinking!
"Xiao Yiyi, take your stinking money and get out of here!" Xiao Chen said coldly, having no time to mince words with her.
Xiao Yiyi's pretty face instantly turned icy cold, like it was covered in frost.
"Don't forget, the Xiao family saved Zhang Qin's life back then. They signed a contract to work for the Xiao family." Xiao Yiyi pointed at Lin Hai and Zhang Qin.
"Everything this family owns was bestowed upon us by the Xiao family. Without the Xiao family, where would you get food and clothing? How would you have the right to attend a second-rate school?"
"You ungrateful wretches! Even a dog would be more loyal to you than you!"
Lin Youyou and her family looked extremely grim and were speechless.
Lin Hai was once an employee of the Xiao family's company. Because Zhang Qin was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, he was forced to sign a contract to work for the Xiao family. For more than 20 years, he was exploited and his earnings were barely enough to survive.
The fact that Lin Youyou was able to go to school was simply because the Xiao family wanted to cultivate a more valuable object of exploitation.
Xiao Chen was furious. He thought it was utterly shameless to speak so righteously.
Ungrateful? Who is truly ungrateful?
"Do you know who contributed to the Xiao family's success? Who helped you secure so many deals and manage half of the Xiao family's businesses?" Xiao Chen said angrily.
Xiao Yiyi sneered and looked at him with disdain.
"You're not trying to say that the Xiao family's current success is all thanks to you, are you? That's utterly ridiculous! Someone like you would have starved to death long ago without the Xiao family. Helping the Xiao family? Do you even deserve it?"
"All my achievements are due to my own outstanding abilities. Why would I need anyone else's help?" she said with an air of arrogance.
Xiao Chen was so angry he laughed.
"We'll see how long you can maintain your stellar image as the top female CEO of Nancheng..."
Xiao Yiyi looked impatient.
"I make hundreds of thousands a minute, I don't have time to waste with you. Think it through, do you want to take 500,000 to turn yourself in, or do you want to starve and freeze to death on the streets with this family of three!"
"The special medicine for Zhang Qin's illness is prepared by the Xiao family hospital. If she stops taking the medicine, she will die!" Xiao Yiyi dropped another bombshell.
Xiao Chen's expression froze.
He really didn't know about this.
Lin Youyou's expression was similar.
Lin Hai and Zhang Qin kept it from them...
Seeing Xiao Chen's unpleasant expression, Xiao Yiyi's expression was playful, and she believed she had him under control.
"Even if you agree now, I won't agree..."
"Unless... you kneel down and beg me."
Xiao Yiyi crossed her legs, her eyes filled with mockery.
Xiao Chen's gaze was icy cold.
The person who tried to force him to kneel and humiliate him was his own elder sister, who was related to him by blood!
"Young Miss, if you want to kneel, we'll kneel for you. Please spare Young Master Chen!" Lin Hai and Zhang Qin couldn't bear it and bowed down to plead, making a move to kneel down.
"Who do you think you are? You dare to kneel before me?" Xiao Yiyi rebuked with a stern face, utterly disdainful.
The two stood there, frozen, their expressions awkward.
"enough!"
Xiao Chen could no longer contain himself and let out a roar.
"Get out!" he roared.
"What did you say?" Xiao Yiyi couldn't believe her ears.
They've already made it clear how powerful he is, yet he dares to tell me to get out?
Doesn't he worry about the consequences at all?
"Xiao Yiyi, get out of here!" Xiao Chen's eyes were fierce.
That appearance made Xiao Yiyi, who was always aloof and superior, feel inexplicably frightened.
"Very well, this is your own choice!" she said coldly. "If you regret it later, you can kneel until you die, but I won't even glance at you!"
After saying that, Xiao Yiyi turned and left.
"Stop!" Xiao Chen shouted.
"What? You've already regretted it?" Xiao Yiyi turned around with a mocking smile.
"boom!"
The bag flew past her, spilling red banknotes that slapped her face.
"You can get lost now," Xiao Chen's voice came.
Xiao Yiyi's face contorted, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
She had never lost her composure like this in her entire life.
No one has ever... dared to treat her like this...
Xiao Yiyi didn't say a word, turned around and left, not even glancing at the banknotes.
After going downstairs, she kicked her Maserati hard, denting the front of the car.
Those who followed remained silent, not daring to utter a sound.
"Change the car tomorrow," Xiao Yiyi said calmly.
"Pass down the word, I'm going to wipe out this whole family!"
Watching the car drive away downstairs, Lin Youyou and the other two looked worried.
No servant in the Xiao family was afraid of Xiao Yiyi's methods.
They didn't know where Xiao Chen's confidence came from.
"Young Master Chen, you should leave Nancheng under the cover of night. Don't worry about us," Lin Hai and Zhang Qin both advised.
Although Lin Youyou didn't say anything, her eyes were full of reluctance.
"Uncle Lin, Aunt Zhang, I won't leave," Xiao Chen said. "I will never abandon you in this lifetime!"
"She's just a young lady from the Xiao family?" He sneered. "I've been too cowardly for too long, making them think I'm weak and easy to bully..."
"I will let them know that I, Xiao Chen, am the true ancestor of the Xiao family!"
