Chapter 173: Slap Your Mother-in-Law in the Face with This 200,000 Check!

Xu Fang’s mother came out after hearing the car horn. She saw a very cool sports car parked in front of her house. A man in a white suit and another relaxed-looking guy got out.

“Who are you? Why did you park in front of our house?” Probably because He Ping had dressed up differently, Xu Fang’s mom didn’t recognize him as the poor boy she had talked about.

Tang Chen patted He Ping’s shoulder. Then he gave him a look. He Ping nodded. Then he walked over and said, “Auntie, I’m He Ping. Don’t you recognize me?”

It took Xu Fang’s mom half a minute to connect the well-dressed He Ping in front of her with the shabby-looking guy from yesterday. She said coldly with an unfriendly face, “He Ping, why are you here again? Our family doesn’t welcome you!”

He Ping’s face fell. Before he could speak, Xu Fang ran out of the room. She cried out joyfully, “He Ping, you’re here!” As she spoke, she was about to run over and hug He Ping.

“Don’t go over there!” Xu Fang’s mom grabbed Xu Fang. She deliberately scolded loudly, “This boy suddenly wears such nice clothes. Who knows where he got dirty money from? You can’t have any more contact with this kind of person.”

“Auntie, I…”

“Who are you saying has dirty money?” Tang Chen finally couldn’t take it anymore and walked over. He pulled He Ping behind him, showing he would handle things from here.

“And who are you? Looking at your poor appearance, you’re no good person either!” Xu Fang’s mom kept saying he looked poor. This woman really asked for a slap.

“Watch your words when you speak to me, Young Master. Where do I look poor?” Tang Chen was angry, but considering she was He Ping’s future mother-in-law, he held back. In another situation, if he heard such words, Tang Chen would have already slapped her.

Xu Fang’s mom sneered. She said, “Every part of you looks poor. Wearing no-name brand clothes, you look like an unemployed youth from the streets. He Ping, where did you find this punk?”

“Auntie!” He Ping was also angry now. She could say whatever she wanted about him, but she couldn’t speak badly of Young Master Tang. “You can look down on me, say I have no money, that’s fine. But you can’t talk about my Big Brother like that.”

“Your Big Brother?” Xu Fang’s mom sneered and tsked twice. She said, “Looks like this guy really is from the underworld. He Ping, you really are useless. With you like this, I will never agree to let you be with my daughter. Daughter, see that? Dump this useless guy as soon as possible.”

Xu Fang didn’t speak. Instead, she looked at He Ping with slight blame. She couldn’t understand why He Ping would speak like that. Her mom already had a bad impression of him. Wouldn’t his words just add fuel to the fire?

“Are you done?” Tang Chen raised an eyebrow and looked coldly at Xu Fang’s mom. This old woman’s ugly face really annoyed him.

“Let me tell you, if you weren’t Xu Fang’s mom, just based on your attitude toward me, I would have already slapped you!” Tang Chen snorted angrily, his fists clenched tightly. Then he said disdainfully, “A woman like you deserves to be a parent? So materialistic, judging people only by appearance. Are you marrying off your daughter or selling her? Oh, just because my little brother He Ping couldn’t come up with 100,000, you mocked him, fine. But you still insist on breaking them up. I just want to ask you, have you ever considered your daughter’s happiness? Can happiness be measured by money? I know, you’ll definitely say it’s for your daughter’s own good. I’m too lazy to hear that. I’m not an unreasonable person. I’ll give you 200,000. If you ever block them from being together again, I’ll kill you!”

Tang Chen glared coldly. His words were full of authority. A powerful aura spread around him. This aura scared both Xu Fang and her mom.

“Young Master Tang!” He Ping called out. Young Master Tang had done too much for him. He really didn’t know how to repay him.

Tang Chen turned his head coldly. He slapped He Ping across the face. He said coldly, “Do you know why I hit you? Because you’re weak. Not having 100,000 is your own situation. But if you don’t even have the courage to fight for the person you love, what kind of man are you? Let me tell you, as my subordinate, you can only bully others, not let others bully you!” As he spoke, Tang Chen took out a check from his pocket. He wrote 200,000 on it. He said calmly, “Now, prove it to me. Use this 200,000 check to slap your mother-in-law in the face. Loudly tell her you’re taking Xu Fang away!”

He Ping’s face stung from Tang Chen’s slap, but he held no grudge. Instead, he took the check with a trembling hand. He sniffled and said loudly, “Young Master Tang, thank you!”

Finally, Xu Fang understood why He Ping dared to talk back to her mom. It was because that man was Young Master Tang, a god-like figure among all members of the Zhongmen Society!

“He Ping, don’t!” Xu Fang stood in front of her mom. Even though her mom had gone too far, she still didn’t want to see He Ping make a big scene.

He Ping ignored her. He pulled Xu Fang behind him. He raised the check and said word by word, “Mother-in-law, this is 200,000. This is my betrothal gift for Xu Fang. I will be good to her for the rest of my life.”

Smack!

The check slapped stylishly onto Xu Fang’s mom’s face. He Ping didn’t even look at her. He pulled the stunned Xu Fang away with him.

Tang Chen snorted coldly and said seriously, “Remember this. Only I can bully my own subordinates. In the future, you’ll know how lucky your daughter is to be with my subordinate!” After saying that, he got in the car and left.

Xu Fang’s mom collapsed on the ground. Was she really wrong?

Tang Chen didn’t leave with He Ping and the others. He had encouraged He Ping to do such a big thing. This kid definitely needed to clean up the mess properly. After all, not everyone could be as awesome as Tang Chen.

While driving the Extravagant Battle Car on the way home, the System that had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke, “Respected Host, I must say your style has been getting higher lately. It seems my teaching has been good. You are teachable.”

Tang Chen’s mouth twitched. He said, “Damn System, you didn’t speak for so long, I thought you died.”

The System instantly felt like ten thousand grass-mud horses had trampled over it. It said arrogantly, “Respected Host, don’t worry. This System will live much longer than you. You should worry about when you’re going to die instead.”

“Uh.” Tang Chen found himself speechless. A System that had lived since the Song Dynasty really had a longer lifespan than him.

Just then, the phone rang. Tang Chen put on his earphones and answered, “Hello, who is this?”

“Young Master Tang, it’s me, Chen Laosan.” Chen Laosan’s side was very noisy. Probably this guy was having fun in a bar.

It was unexpected for Chen Laosan to call him. Tang Chen said, “Chen Laosan, what do you need? Is someone causing trouble?”

Chen Laosan quickly said, “No, Young Master Tang. It’s Chen Bailin under me. That guy is marrying Haiyue. The wedding is the day after tomorrow. They wanted to invite you, but were afraid to bother you, so they asked me to call.”

Tang Chen thought this was good news. So he quickly said, “Of course I’ll go. Did they book the banquet venue? If not, book it at Junyue. If they did book somewhere else, tell them to cancel it. I’ll give a big red envelope.”

Chen Laosan agreed and said with a laugh, “Young Master Tang, you’re really good to your subordinates. If I get married someday, you’ll have to take responsibility too.”

“Get lost. You’re old already, what marriage? Enough nonsense. I’m home. It’s settled then.” Tang Chen gave his order and hung up. Then he called Boss Pang. He told him about the matter and asked him to prepare early. His subordinate’s wedding must be lively and grand. That would match his style.

Thump!

Right then, there was a thump in front of his car. Tang Chen stopped the car and looked. It turned out he had hit an old lady.
