Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Man’s Nature at Birth is Good

Lu Jie scoffed repeatedly, not taking Chen Xuan’s words to heart at all.

But just moments later, Lu Jie’s phone unexpectedly rang.

Seeing it was a call from his own father, his brows instantly furrowed.

The man had just called — could it really be such a coincidence that his father was calling him now?

Not thinking too much of it, Lu Jie pressed the answer button straight away.

As soon as the call connected, his father, Lu Kangsheng’s voice, berating furiously, came through immediately.

"Are you fucking trying to get yourself killed by causing me such a big problem!"

Lu Jie was utterly confused by his father’s scolding.

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

"Quit fucking pretending, tell me, have you offended someone?"

Lu Jie looked up at Chen Xuan in front of him and instinctively nodded, "That’s right, but, he seems to be just a nobody without any background..."

"A nobody?" Lu Kangsheng laughed angrily in extreme frustration, "If he is a nobody, then people like you and me are no better than ants!"

"Let me tell you, the man standing in front of you is the very Mr. Chen, who has recently been the talk of Huai City! You must have your brain eaten by a dog to dare to provoke this ’Slaughter God’!"

"What? Chen... Chen..." Lu Jie was so scared he couldn’t finish his sentence.

He had never dreamed that the young man standing before him would be the Mr. Chen who had recently become a legend throughout Huai City!

"Dad, I... I really didn’t know..."

"Cut the crap! No matter what you do, you must obtain Mr. Chen’s forgiveness, or else our father and son, our two families, are going to be brought to ruin!"

With that, Lu Kangsheng hung up the phone, furious and frustrated.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Lu Jie couldn’t recover for a long time.

The people around saw Lu Jie standing there in a daze, all exchanging perplexed looks, clueless as to what had happened.

Chen Xuan looked at Lu Jie, his smile filled with meaningfulness, "So, do you know who I am now?"

Thump!

Lu Jie’s legs gave out, and he fell to his knees.

"Chen... Mr. Chen, I was blind!"

The entire playground erupted into a buzz.

Everyone thought they had seen wrong.

This was the chairman of Jie’ao Corporation, the son of Huai City’s Chief Secretary!

Yet now, he was kneeling down to apologize, which was simply inconceivable!

The babysitter’s eyes nearly popped out, and Xiao Zhe, the son, was utterly dumbfounded.

"Dad, have you gone mad? Didn’t you say that we are rich and powerful, and everyone else should be afraid of us? Why kneel to this damn girl’s father?"

Before Xiao Zhe could finish, a slap from Lu Jie landed on his head.

"Shut your mouth! If you dare to speak disrespectfully again, believe it or not, I’ll break your legs!"

Xiao Zhe was utterly enraged; he was nearly spoiled rotten at home, treated like an emperor, never been scolded let alone hit.

But now, his own father dared to hit him in front of so many people, it was like the world had turned upside down!

"Lu Jie, you dare hit me! Do I not have any dignity? I won’t acknowledge you as my father if you keep this up!"

Xiao Zhe shouted angrily at Lu Jie, his voice filled with fury.

The crowd around burst into laughter, filled with helplessness.

To be talking back to the adults at such a young age, it was both pathetic and laughable.

Lu Jie was thoroughly infuriated by Xiao Zhe’s attitude as well.

Seeing his own family about to face ruin, and his stupid son was still daring to be defiant; he simply didn’t understand anything!

"You’ve really turned the heavens upside down, haven’t you? Do you even know your place?"

As Lu Jie spoke, he turned to his men and shouted angrily, "What are you standing around for? Teach him a lesson and show him who calls the shots in this house!"

The men didn’t hesitate, grabbing Xiao Zhe and giving him a sound beating, leaving his backside swollen.

At first, Xiao Zhe kept cursing, but as the beating continued, he got scared and completely calmed down.

"Dad, I know I was wrong, stop hitting me, please, wuu wuu wuu..."

Lu Jie’s anger hadn’t dissipated yet, and he felt a pang of regret inside. It seemed that in the future, he really needed to discipline this little bastard properly, or who knew what bigger mess he might create!

After a moment, Xiao Zhe was pushed to kneel in front of Chen Xuan.

"Apologize now!" Lu Jie barked.

"Uncle, I know I was wrong, I won’t ever dare to do it again, wuu wuu wuu..." Xiao Zhe was very obedient.

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "You should be apologizing to my daughter, not me."

Xiao Zhe hurriedly turned to Xiao Yu, "Little sister, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have destroyed your castle, and I definitely shouldn’t have thrown sand on your head..."

However, Xiao Yu quickly waved her hands, her voice childish yet very sincere, "It’s okay, big brother. Our teacher said, those who correct their mistakes are still good kids! Xiao Yu forgives you!"

Hearing this, a hint of guilt appeared on Xiao Zhe’s face for the first time.

"Alright, since Xiao Yu has forgiven you, you can go now!"

By now, Xiao Zhe had clearly realized his mistake, and Chen Xuan naturally didn’t intend to pursue the matter further.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, thank you so much!"

Like a man pardoned from death, Lu Jie quickly led Xiao Zhe and the others away in a panic.

Watching their retreating figures, Chen Xuan shook his head in resignation.

At birth, human nature is good.

There aren’t any inherently bad children in this world; it’s mostly due to the parents’ methods of upbringing that problems arise.

It’s just a pity that he couldn’t possibly manage everyone.

"Dad, you were so cool just now! Such a manly thing to do!" Xiao Yu praised like a little adult and didn’t forget to give Chen Xuan a kiss on the cheek with a mua.

Chen Xuan could only offer a wry smile upon hearing this.

This little girl, at such a young age, where did she learn all this jumble of words?

"Xiao Yu, how about we rebuild the castle together?"

"Okay!"

After that, the father and daughter duo joyfully immersed themselves in rebuilding the sandcastle, with all the earlier unpleasantness forgotten.

Meanwhile, the surrounding crowd still hadn’t shifted their attention away from the incident.

After all, making someone as wealthy and influential as Lu Jie kneel and apologize wasn’t something just anyone could accomplish.

People were very curious about the identity of this young man who had made Lu Jie kneel.

Suddenly, the crowd remembered something.

The way Lu Jie addressed this young man was Mr. Chen.

The onlookers gasped involuntarily.

Could it be that this young man with the surname Chen was the Mr. Chen, whose name is renowned throughout Huai City and whose influence spans both rivers?

Who would have thought that the legendary Mr. Chen, so revered by countless people, would be such an unremarkable presence simply standing there?

Chen Xuan didn’t care about the crowd’s speculations and instead focused all his energy on enjoying the joyful time with his daughter.

After a whole day of fun, Chen Xuan took Xiao Yu home in the evening.

However, just as he had gotten Xiao Yu through the door, Ding Lijuan’s curses rang out from the living room, "You disaster star, not content until our family is destroyed and dead, aren’t you? Get out of here and never set foot in our house again!"

Chen Xuan’s face turned cold, and anger surged in his heart in an instant.

Not only had she abandoned him to face danger alone in the past, but now she also dared to curse him in front of his daughter. Did his mother-in-law really think he was some useless trash that could be bullied at will!
