Chapter 106: Draw the Line!

“Are you just going to watch Xiao Hailong commit murder?!”

As Xiao Hailong swung his axe at Ye Chen, Xiao Changkun snapped back to reality and shouted angrily.

However, the elderly matriarch Xiao, sitting in the high hall, and Xiao Changqian, standing on the steps, remained completely unmoved!

In fact, they didn’t even blink!

The other relatives of the Xiao family were silent, as if everything was none of their business!

At this moment, the old lady only wanted the villa!

Nothing else mattered to her!

Sometimes, the older people get, the greedier they become!

Ancient emperors grew more foolish, arrogant, and extravagant as they aged, building palaces and tombs for themselves.

And the old matriarch Xiao, too, as she aged, hoped to live better and enjoy more!

She wanted to live in a better place, die in a better place, and be buried in a better place.

That signified that in her next life, she would enjoy endless wealth and glory!

This is why the elderly often wish to prepare a thick coffin and a magnificent tomb for themselves.

Thus, for the old matriarch Xiao, this villa worth 130 million must be seized!

Even if Xiao Hailong really killed Ye Chen, as long as she could get the villa, it wouldn’t matter!

Xiao Changkun and Xiao Churan looked up at the group of people, their hearts completely chilled.

This is what is called “blood relatives”!

For the sake of money, to seize his property, they would set traps and even plot to harm his family!

Elder brother Xiao Changqian said leisurely, “Second brother, Hailong is still a child; he’s just fooling around. Why take it seriously? Besides, even if he really kills Ye Chen, so what? He’s not one of us!”

In his view, Ye Chen was just a son-in-law without power or influence. Even if Xiao Hailong splattered his brains, the worst that could happen was paying a bit more money.

That would be a win-win situation.

That villa is worth 130 million!

And the housing prices are still skyrocketing!

If they could seize it, let the old lady live there first, and when she dies, that villa would probably be worth at least 200 million!

200 million! Wouldn’t it all be theirs then?

With so much money, who could resist such temptation?

“I don’t have a brother like you!!”

Xiao Changkun shouted angrily, grabbing a mop and swinging it fiercely at Xiao Hailong.

Xiao Changqian frowned, fearing his son would get hit, and rushed to block him.

“You really have gone too far, giving face and not taking it…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Changkun swung the stick at him. Fortunately, Xiao Changqian dodged quickly, only getting hit on the shoulder, causing him to grimace in pain.

Seeing his usually honest father actually getting angry enough to strike, Xiao Churan felt both hatred for the Xiao family’s ruthlessness and concern for Ye Chen’s safety.

At this moment, Ye Chen gripped the axe blade, looking at Xiao Hailong with a hint of mockery, and said softly, “Xiao Hailong, let me tell you the truth: a waste like you is not even worth a fart in my eyes!”

“Ye Chen, fuck your mother!”

A surge of anger rushed to Xiao Hailong’s head. “You pathetic loser, dare to speak to me like that…”

Before he could finish, Ye Chen directly grabbed his wrist and forcefully twisted it backward.

With a sharp crack, Xiao Hailong let out a heart-wrenching scream!

His right hand was twisted backward 180 degrees, breaking it cleanly!

Xiao Hailong wailed loudly, collapsing to the ground in pain, tears streaming down his face.

Seeing her grandson’s hand brutally broken by Ye Chen, the old matriarch Xiao, who had been leisurely watching the “family law,” was instantly furious!

She stormed over, slapping Ye Chen across the face.

Just as her hand swung through the air, Ye Chen suddenly turned around and coldly said, “Old hag, you’re asking for death!”

With that, he slapped the old lady’s face, sending her staggering back several steps!

At this moment, Ye Chen’s eyes were icy, exuding a murderous aura!

Although the old matriarch Xiao was in pain from the slap, she couldn’t help but shiver…

She covered her face, frightened, and kept retreating.

The retreating old lady didn’t even dare to look Ye Chen in the eye; it was the first time she had seen such a terrifying expression from him.

The Xiao family members were dumbfounded!

What the hell is going on?!

This waste actually dared to hit the old lady?

But at this moment, who could stand up for her?

The injured bodyguards were already lying on the ground, and the remaining few showed fear, not daring to step forward…

Although the old matriarch wanted Ye Chen’s life, she also knew deep down that he had learned some formidable skills from somewhere and was far too powerful for her to handle!

Xiao Churan’s heart raced, her beautiful eyes following Ye Chen, feeling particularly strange, and her cheeks involuntarily flushed slightly.

It was the first time she realized that Ye Chen also had such a fierce and powerful side.

Previously, Ye Chen had only seemed silent and unassuming in Xiao Churan’s eyes, only capable of shopping for groceries and cooking.

Now, seeing that no one dared to approach, Ye Chen raised his head, coldly glancing at the crowd, and shouted at the two bodyguards hiding far away, “If you don’t open the door now, I’ll twist your necks!”

The two bodyguards, terrified, felt their legs go weak and hurriedly opened the gate of the estate!

Xiao Changqian shouted angrily, “Mom, we can’t let them go!”

The old matriarch Xiao gritted her teeth, glaring at Ye Chen, and said hatefully, “Let them go!”

“Grandma, how can we just let them go?” Xiao Hailong cried out in pain, his eyes filled with hatred. “He ruined my hand; I want to chop him up!”

The old matriarch suppressed her anger and coldly said, “Everyone shut up!”

Xiao Changqian said viciously, “Ye Chen, you hurt my son and broke the rules of the Xiao family; you will definitely regret this!”

The old matriarch Xiao spoke each word clearly: “From now on, Xiao Changkun’s family is expelled from the Xiao family and is no longer my Xiao family’s kin!”

Xiao Changkun looked up, his head bleeding, and said expressionlessly, “I don’t care for such a Xiao family!”

Xiao Churan nodded and said, “Yes! We don’t care for it!”

The old lady gritted her teeth and said, “Xiao Churan! You are truly a disgrace to the Xiao family! From now on, you are also expelled from the Xiao Group! The Xiao Group is now cooperating with the Dihao Group and will surely prosper! And you, unfilial granddaughter, will have nothing to do with the Xiao Group from now on! Get as far away as you can!”

Xiao Churan firmly said, “I don’t care for the Xiao Group at all! Dad, let’s go.”

With that, Xiao Churan and Ye Chen helped Xiao Changkun, casting a resentful glance at the Xiao family members before turning to leave.

As she walked out the door, she felt no lingering attachment.

Today, she saw the true colors of this group of people clearly!

These so-called relatives were not even as good as a stranger!

If it weren’t for her parents, she would have long since distanced herself from the so-called “Xiao family”!

Ye Chen felt equally cold inside.

The old matriarch Xiao, Xiao Changqian, and Xiao Hailong—three generations of fools!

What do you think? On what basis do you believe you can still cooperate with the Dihao Group?
