CHAPTER 362: CHAPTER 362: DECLARATION OF WAR

"Heh, suit yourself. I’m not an idiot like Sheng Hong who can be taken down with a little trick. If you think you can drag me into the mire, don’t even think about it," Xu Ke said with a hint of disdain on his face as he sat upright.

"You think that here in Shangjing your Xu Family is unstoppable and no one can do anything to you, right? No wonder you come from a small, insignificant family, truly a frog at the bottom of a well. To deal with a force like your Xu Family, if I wanted to, it’d be as easy as squashing an ant," Xu Jiahui said, making a crushing motion with her thumb and index finger, her eyes filled with contempt.

"No need for so much nonsense, just try it." Xu Ke glanced at the time on his watch once more, not bothering to argue with Xu Jiahui, nor giving her any chance to speak further, as he directly stood up and walked toward the door.

"By the way, I’ll pay for today’s meal. Consider it my farewell gift to you," Xu Ke tidied his not-so-disheveled clothes, opened the door, and walked out of the private room.

"Ah ah ah!"

As Xu Ke closed the door, an earth-shattering scream erupted from the private room, so piercing it seemed as if it could pierce through the rafters.

"How dare he talk to me like that, how dare he!" Xu Jiahui smashed a teapot full of brewed tea onto the floor, ceramic shards and hot water splattering around, leaving red marks on her pale calves, further darkening her already foul mood.

"Even a lousy teapot is against me, they are all against me, all against me!" Xu Jiahui screamed again, clutching her ears, her usual beautiful features twisted into a grotesque and ugly snarl.

Ah Gu stood in a corner of the room, slightly furrowing his brows, and looked at Xu Jiahui with eyes full of dislike and disgust.

This woman, besides her face and body, truly had nothing to offer.

Finally, when there was nothing left in the private room to smash, Xu Jiahui calmed down, her expression returning to its usual state, as if all of what had just transpired was merely an illusion.

"No one can make me unhappy. Whoever dares to make me unhappy, I’ll make their entire family unhappy. Don’t you cherish your wife and want to spend a lifetime with her? Don’t you value and love the Xu Family the most? I will take away everything you desire and own. I’ll turn you into a lone wolf, leave you with nothing, make you regret everything you’ve done to me today."

Xu Jiahui narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the closed door, marred with marks, her gaze full of a determined glint, as if convinced everything would unfold exactly as she intended right before her eyes.

Stepping out from the restaurant, Xu Ke got into the car and made a call to a phone number he hadn’t contacted in a long time.

Everyone thought that in Shangjing, Xu Ke only had the Xu Family as his trump card, and without it, he’d be helpless and forced to beg on the streets. They didn’t know who was being underestimated.

Xu Ke chuckled lightly, relayed his instructions to the person on the other end of the phone, then set the phone down and headed home.

Xu Jiahui was a woman of action. She didn’t want anyone to know about Xu Ke’s rejection, so she decided to use her resources to hit back at Xu Ke instead of telling the main family.

However, she was too naïve. Although her family abroad was indeed powerful, in Shangjing, they were not even close to matching the Xu Family’s influence, especially since she wasn’t a core member and had limited resources.

Half a month had passed since she threatened Xu Ke, yet all her attempts to undermine him were laughable, causing him no loss, but leaving her fuming.

"How are you handling things, how are you handling things!" With no outlet for her anger, Xu Jiahui vented all her frustration on the two bodyguards who’d always stayed by her side, ruthlessly throwing hotel pillows and cushions at their faces, throwing everything she could see or hold to the ground.

In the midst of the cacophony of breaking sounds, Xu Jiahui’s fleeing sanity finally returned.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Jiahui resumed control over her expressions.

"I just can’t believe I have absolutely no way to deal with him," Xu Jiahui’s beautiful phoenix eyes gleamed fiercely.

Moments later, as if nothing unusual had happened, Xu Jiahui warmly came over to the two bodyguards with a light-hearted smile on her alluring face—a face the fair-skinned bodyguard would normally adore, but now he only felt a chilling coldness.

"I remember you know quite a few people in my family abroad. Get a few of your brothers over here. Xu Ke’s wife is somewhat passable in looks, but I find her displeasing. I want you to ruin her. The more people involved, the better, but you two are my men. Anyone can participate except you two, until I’m bored with her. Otherwise,"

Xu Jiahui traced her fingers from their chests downward until stopping at a particular spot, speaking softly: "I’ll let you experience what it’s like to never be a man again. Surely, you wouldn’t want that, right?"

Xu Jiahui gently lay against Ah Gu, her tongue lightly touching his bronzed earlobe.

"Do you doubt our loyalty to you? Is there any other woman in the world who can compare to you? With you as the pearl and jade before us, how could we ever fancy any common wenches?" Ah Gu grabbed Xu Jiahui’s unruly hand, his face showing little emotion, but his voice was extremely sincere.

Xu Jiahui was very pleased with Ah Gu’s response, like a proud Queen, she reached out and hooked Ah Gu’s neck, pulling him toward her and rewarded him with a passionate kiss.

"I like it when you say things like that, but don’t forget your task. You mustn’t let me down. The sooner, the better. I’ve been feeling a bit down lately and could use some fun to cheer me up," Xu Jiahui said while slightly squinting.

"We’ll make sure you have a great time," Ah Gu’s voice became huskier and more sensual, enough to make Xu Jiahui close her eyes in pleasure, with even a slight curve to her lips.
