My Life with Narration

Chapter 575 - 566: Tell Your Dad to Wait for Death

Their generation’s ideas are very different from the older generation’s. They say you should return home in glory, wearing brocade at night. But I’ve already returned home gloriously; can’t I show off a bit?

Why let my rival keep jumping around? I’m going to flaunt it in front of you, then beat you down completely, especially in the areas you pride yourself on the most.

Someone like him, once he gains power, those who offended him will be in trouble. Even dogs that bare their teeth at him will get a slap, let alone people.

As for letting bygones be bygones? That term is too hypocritical.

He really appreciates the character Wang Duoyu in the movie, who never hides his nouveau riche nature. To those fake snobs who slander you behind your back and can’t get along with you, it’s perfectly fine to humiliate them, even by throwing money at them.

If wealth can’t be flaunted, what’s the point of having it? Similarly, if wealth can’t be shown off, what good is it for, just to pass it down?

Listening to Su Qing’s undisguised sarcasm, Zhang Chao’s face turned grim.

The last time they met at a wedding, Su Qing wasn’t so aggressive yet. Even though he had a ridiculously beautiful and rich girlfriend, he still thought he was better than Su Qing.

Even though Su Qing was already an internet influencer at the time, his parents had been in business and running restaurants for years, so his family had a considerable savings.

In the eyes of outsiders, he could be considered a second-generation rich kid. But this time when they met again, Su Qing had become someone who could afford to invest 80 million.

Eighty million! Adding up all his family’s assets wouldn’t even reach half of that, and suddenly, his last bit of advantage was completely gone.

Besides, although his family’s conditions were still decent, all the money belonged to his parents, and he had none himself. Compared to Su Qing, this realization hit him even harder.

The crucial part was, everything Su Qing said was true.

Even Ning Tong beside him could sense it, which naturally made her even more bitter, even somewhat regretful.

Logically speaking, Zhang Chao’s conditions weren’t bad, but people just fear comparison, as it easily throws one off balance when compared.

Ning Tong was now feeling imbalanced. If Su Qing and she weren’t acquainted, encountering someone so wealthy wouldn’t bother her so much. The problem was, everyone in the class knew that Su Qing had a crush on her in high school, and that’s what really mattered to her.

"Sss~ Huff~ Sss~ Huff~"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chao’s breathing became rapid, yet he couldn’t find a way to retort. Especially being humiliated in front of a woman he liked by a high school rival was indeed hard to accept.

He wanted to leave but felt that turning around and walking away would only make him lose more face, leaving him frozen in place.

At that moment, Ding Qiang rushed over hurriedly.

"What’s up, Qingzi? Someone looking for trouble?"

Back in high school, the five of them often fought with this Zhang Chao. Zhang Chao, being a school team member, would sometimes gather people to challenge them. At that time, including their friend San’er, there were just five of them, and sometimes they couldn’t avoid losing.

But after losing, the five would strike back in the classroom when there were fewer people around.

After a few such incidents, Zhang Chao, to avoid getting beaten up, dared not make trouble for them arbitrarily, with Wang Xing and Ding Qiang always standing at the forefront during fights, as they were both tall and strong.

Thus, seeing Zhang Chao, he immediately rushed over, his eyes dark and terrifying, ready to act as soon as Su Qing gave a nod.

He had been feeling suppressed recently. Though he seemed emotionally stable, he was like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.

Knowing each other from school, Zhang Chao and Ning Tong naturally recognized Ding Qiang. But they were taken aback to see him so emaciated and unshaven, quite a stark contrast from before.

"No worries, just a couple of fools seeking validation. How did it go on your end? Have you met with Uncle?" Su Qing’s eyes returned to normal as he asked softly.

Ding Qiang nodded. "Yes, met him. The surgery is ready, and he’s about to go into the operating room. My mom asked me to check if you guys needed any help."

"No worries, everything’s settled here. Go accompany Auntie, we can handle the rest!" Su Qing said calmly.

The conversation was overheard by Zhang Chao, who immediately gathered that Ding Qiang’s father was about to undergo surgery, and Su Qing was there to help.

After being repeatedly suppressed, Zhang Chao suddenly seemed to find a breakthrough, speaking without thinking as he sneered coldly:

"Birds of a feather, flock together. With such petty people around you, no wonder your dad’s unwell, serves him right!"

The words barely left his mouth before Su Qing, Ding Qiang, and the others shot icy glares at him, as if ready to strike at any moment, with Ding Qiang’s eyes especially showing a murderous intent.

"Gulp," Zhang Chao swallowed hard, realizing he might have misspoken as the reactions from the others were much more severe than before.

Moreover, facing four people on the opposite side, with only himself and his pregnant wife on this side, if it really came to blows, a beating would be inevitable.

But apologizing was absolutely not an option for him. At this moment, he could only stubbornly choose to tough it out.

Just when even Su Qing couldn’t suppress his anger and wanted to smack him, Ning Tong, noticing the looks in everyone’s eyes, hurriedly spoke up: "Um... sorry, Zhang Chao spoke without thinking, we’re all classmates, I apologize to Ding Qiang on his behalf, he really didn’t mean it."

As she spoke, Ning Tong stood in front of Zhang Chao, holding her slightly bulging belly with both hands, and made her pregnancy evident, believing that as a pregnant woman, they would hesitate to act.

With this interruption, Su Qing immediately cooled down, took a deep breath, and raised his hand in front of the three people. Without looking at Ning Tong, he directly met Zhang Heng’s gaze and sneered:

"Indeed like father, like son. From your behavior, I can tell what kind of people your parents are, raising an idiot like you. Haven’t you heard the saying ’trouble comes from the mouth’?"

Su Qing was genuinely angry now. Despite Zhang Chao’s previous taunts at him, it was their personal issue; they could argue or even fight, but Zhang Chao brought up Ding Qiang’s father, which successfully enraged everyone.

The man’s fate was uncertain, and it was likely he wouldn’t survive the operating table, and here was Zhang Chao cursing the man’s father in front of his son. Was he looking for trouble?

Moreover, Su Qing already knew the result, wasn’t this just stabbing Qiang in the chest? He still hadn’t figured out how to comfort Ding Qiang after the result.

"What... what are you gonna do? I said it, what can you do? Hit me!" Zhang Chao stubbornly replied.

In response, Ning Tong quickly gave her husband a glare: "Say less."

"Su Qing, Ding Qiang, we..."

Before Ning Tong could finish, Su Qing raised his hand to interrupt: "Don’t worry, we won’t hit him. It’s a society governed by law now, hitting someone is illegal."

While speaking, he grabbed Ding Qiang’s arm, then took out his phone and made a call in front of everyone.

"Hello, Brother Wen, what brings you to call me today?" Wen Jingqi’s voice came through.

Su Qing didn’t hide anything and put the call on speaker.

"Hey, something’s come up, I need your help."

"Help? You’re quite famous now, anything you need, I’ll help if I can."

Wen Jingqi, for one, wouldn’t mind doing Su Qing a favor. With Su Qing’s rising influence online these days, Wen Jingqi sensed that this young man his father had his eye on was extraordinary. Doing him a favor now might lead to future collaborations.

"It’s no big deal, but Brother Wen, you know a lot of people, there’s someone here who’s offended me, and I’m hoping you can help."

"Who’s that bold?"

"Just a classmate, no background, don’t worry."

Hearing this, Wen Jingqi laughed, "Want me to find someone to teach him a lesson? No problem, I’ll find someone, break a couple of his legs, and cover the compensation."

Wen Jingqi’s casual tone on the phone stunned Zhang Chao—could his classmate know the underworld?

"Brother, it’s a society governed by law, I’m a policeman, I won’t break the law," Su Qing laughed.

In response, Wen Jingqi was puzzled: "Then what do you want..."

"Here’s the thing, his family runs a small business, a restaurant. I’ll give you some information later, you check it out. If we’re gonna act, it has to be legal. You find the people, I’ll cover the cost, please don’t refuse, or I won’t dare trouble you next time."

Hearing this, Wen Jingqi sighed, "Alright, I’ll be waiting for your message. Don’t worry, I’ll handle it beautifully."

After thanking him, Su Qing hung up. When you have money, surely someone will do things for you, especially when you have connections.

The Wen Family is in real estate, naturally well-connected, and who would believe they never dabbled in anything shady?

Then Su Qing glanced at the now guilty-looking Zhang Chao and sneered, "Messing with you? Not worth it. Tell your dad he should be prepared."
