Chapter 101: An Ugly Freak Like You Deserves to Stay Unmarried Forever!

“Girl, this is the big boss Young Master Tang, and this is Boss Pang.” Yang Hengmin introduced them to Xiao Ruiqi. Xiao Ruiqi had a typical rural girl’s personality and shyly nodded at the two men, feeling very embarrassed.

Tang Chen smiled. He did not pay much attention to Xiao Ruiqi and instead said to Yang Hengmin, “Foreman Yang, let’s begin. I have some matters to attend to later.”

Hearing this, Yang Hengmin became a little worried that Tang Chen was angry, so he quickly said, “Okay, I’ll make it quick.” As he said this, he took a kitchen knife from Xiao Kuan’s hand, then slit the throat of the old hen in Xiao Ruiqi’s hands, letting the blood flow into the bowl she was holding.

Xiao Ruiqi handed the bowl full of blood to Xiao Kuan, then threw the struggling hen onto the ground. Coincidentally, the flapping hen flew right onto a large fat man’s leg. The fat man kicked the hen away in disgust, glared angrily, and shouted, “Ruiqi, what are you doing? Can’t you be more careful? Pay some attention, will you?”

Xiao Ruiqi was a gentle person. She said “Oh” and apologetically replied, “I’m sorry, Uncle Shuangzhu, I will definitely be more careful next time.”

Originally, such a small matter would not have bothered anyone, but the fat man, Shuangzhu, said something next that made the atmosphere quite tense: “Really, it’s bad enough that you’re ugly, but you’re also so careless. Who would ever be willing to marry you in the future?”

Shuangzhu’s voice was not soft, so everyone present heard him. Xiao Ruiqi’s body trembled, and she turned around, looking hurt as she said to Shuangzhu, “Uncle Shuangzhu, I already apologized to you. Do you have to be so mean?”

Her appearance had always been Xiao Ruiqi’s biggest insecurity. This girl came from a not very wealthy family. Additionally, her looks weren’t particularly appealing to boys, and in her rural home, not a single boy had ever taken the initiative to be friendly with her or attempt to pursue her.

Although Xiao Ruiqi felt sad inside, she always kept an optimistic expression on her face and was cheerful with everyone. Even though she was a girl, and even though her second uncle often gave her lighter tasks in the construction team, she tried her best to do heavy work so that others wouldn’t gossip about her. She wanted to prove to everyone that she was still useful.

The other uncles in the construction team were quite caring towards her, but this Shuangzhu had always seemed to dislike her. She had overheard him calling her an ugly freak behind her back many times, but each time she pretended not to hear. She knew she was ugly to begin with and didn’t want to cause trouble in the construction team over her looks.

But today, over such a small matter, he once again called her ugly in front of so many people. Xiao Ruiqi was, after all, a girl. How could she keep tolerating it?

Feeling everyone’s eyes on him, Shuangzhu snorted coldly and said, “Am I wrong? You are an ugly freak. You’re so ugly. It’s one thing that you used connections to join our construction team through the foreman, but you also get the easiest jobs and the same pay as us. I really don’t know how someone as ugly as you has the nerve to stay here.”

He kept saying “ugly freak” over and over, which finally enraged Xiao Ruiqi. With tears in her eyes, she cried out, “Uncle Shuangzhu, no, Zhao Shuangzhu, how have I ever wronged you? Why do you keep insulting me with your words? You say I’m ugly, but what about you? With that big belly of yours, you think you’re so handsome!”

The surrounding workers also couldn’t stand it anymore. Shuangzhu had gone too far. She was just a young girl, with thin skin. How could you say such things to her? How is she supposed to live with that!

“You’ve got quite a sharp tongue. You are an ugly freak. Even if I have a big belly, at least I’m married and have kids. An ugly freak like you deserves to stay unmarried forever!”

“Enough, Shuangzhu, what are you yelling about? Don’t you see the big boss is here?” Yang Hengmin finally lost his temper. His construction team had finally landed a big job. If your argument makes the boss unhappy, can you take responsibility for that?

Tang Chen did not show obvious anger; he seemed emotionless. But his tightly clenched fists showed that he was starting to get angry inside. This damn Shuangzhu really went too far. Even if Xiao Ruiqi’s looks weren’t top-tier, she was no relation of his. What right did he have to criticize her life!

“Second Uncle, I didn’t mean to argue with him. It’s just that his words hurt my self-esteem too much!” Xiao Ruiqi was also afraid of causing trouble for her second uncle, so she quickly explained.

Yang Hengmin sighed and said, “Girl, it’s not your fault. Shuangzhu, today is a great day for our worksite’s start. Why do you have to be so harsh to the girl? She’s a junior, and you’re a senior! Can’t you give her a break?”

Shuangzhu clearly was a troublemaker. He sneered and said, “Foreman, you’re wrong about this. I know my words might be a bit sharp, but you saw how she just spoke to me. Is that any way to treat an elder? I know she’s your niece, so of course you favor her. But I’m telling you, if it comes to it, I quit. I’m not wrong. She is an ugly freak.”

“You think you can just quit if you want?” Tang Chen finally couldn’t hold back and walked over with Boss Pang, speaking coldly to Shuangzhu.

Shuangzhu said stubbornly, “That’s right, I quit. And not only that, you’re not starting work today either. You’re the big boss? What the hell do I care!”

“Shuangzhu, shut up!” Yang Hengmin was furious and quickly said to Tang Chen, “Young Master Tang, I’m really sorry. But this is our construction team’s matter. I will handle it properly, and we will start work immediately.”

“Don’t handle it. You’re not a competent leader anyway.” Tang Chen glanced at him discontentedly. This Yang Hengmin was really unreliable. Someone like this, asking for trouble, should have been kicked out or beaten up long ago. What’s the use reasoning with him!

“Young Master Tang, this…” Yang Hengmin was also a bit stunned. He hadn’t expected Young Master Tang to speak to him so harshly.

Tang Chen said coldly, “Stay out of today’s matter. This is my project, and I’ll handle it myself.” As he said this, he walked right past Yang Hengmin and said to Shuangzhu, “What the hell did you just say? Are you going to stop me from starting work?”

“Kid, you better watch your mouth! By age, I’m old enough to be your father. I’ve walked more roads than you’ve crossed bridges. If you make me mad, none of us will have a good day today!” This bastard seemed like the unreasonable type of idiot. If ordinary people met someone like him, they’d probably be helplessly harassed. But meeting Young Master Tang, he was going to suffer!

“Hah, you’re going to make me have a bad day? Screw you, you moron. Did you leave your brain at home when you went out? Do you know how much I paid for this land? Ten billion, damn ten billion! My time is very valuable, worth tens of millions every minute. Because of a useless asshole like you, the groundbreaking ceremony that should have taken a few minutes has been delayed this long. Every minute of mine is money. If we convert it to cash, can you afford to pay for it? You can’t. You look like a poor idiot, dressed like some damn beggar. With that big belly, you think you’re some official? You not only have fat in your belly, but your head is full of fat too, idiot!”

Tang Chen’s rapid-fire speech was sharp and venomous. Not only did it leave Shuangzhu dumbfounded, but even Yang Hengmin and the other workers were stunned. Damn, they’d never seen someone who could curse like that.

“You curse at me? Screw your mother!” Shuangzhu flew into a rage, picked up a shovel, and swung it at Tang Chen. Xiao Kuan beside him raised a spade to block it. With a clang, Xiao Kuan, young and strong, naturally sent Shuangzhu stumbling backward, nearly falling to the ground.

“Brother, well done. I appreciate it. After this is over, go see Boss Pang behind me at Junyue. You are officially appointed as the Security Captain of Junyue.” Tang Chen didn’t even glance at the staggering Shuangzhu but praised Xiao Kuan instead.

“It’s nothing, Young Master Tang. That bastard’s words were really too much. I’ve always seen Ruiqi as my own sister. I’ve long been unable to stand this guy!” It seemed Xiao Kuan had also accumulated a lot of resentment toward Shuangzhu, as he said through gritted teeth.

“Xiao Kuan, you little brat, you dare oppose me? You’re dead! I know people in the underworld. I’m going to kill you all today!” Shuangzhu shouted, threw the shovel to the ground, and immediately took out his mobile phone to make a call.

“Idiot!” With a whoosh, Tang Chen appeared in front of him and backhanded slapped Shuangzhu across the face. After resting for so long, Tang Chen’s body was gradually recovering. Just slapping someone was no big deal.

Smack!

The slap was loud. Everyone saw Shuangzhu spin 360 degrees in the air before crashing to the ground. His mobile phone was also crushed under Tang Chen’s foot.

“Awesome!” Xiao Kuan yelled out. The other workers also showed expressions of satisfaction. It seemed this guy really had no friends in the construction team.
