Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Removing Pants
Song Xiaoru hastily said, "Iâm sorry, Iâm sorry, it was just my brother acting impulsively for a moment, Iâll pay for your pants, eight thousand is eight thousand, weâll compensate."
Chen Zixu glared and said, "Humph, do you think just paying for a pair of pants will settle it? That was before, now he has hit me, hit my friend? You think this is over just like that?"
"Then... what do you propose we do?" Song Xiaoru tugged at Song Xiaodong, who was about to speak, and asked with a pained expression.
"What to do?" Chen Zixu glanced at Song Xiaoru and Lin Suâer and said, "Itâs simple, give us a million, and weâll let him off. Otherwise... humph!"
"A million?" Song Xiaoru and Lin Suâer both exclaimed in shock.
Chen Zixu snorted and said, "Whatâs the matter? Did you think weâre people you can hit just like that? Do you have any idea how much our face is worth? You made us lose face here, asking for a million is already asking you for less."
Song Xiaoruâs mouth twitched, then she gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, Iâll give it to you."
When Song Xiaoru said this, it somewhat stunned Chen Zixu. His actual target was the two beauties, Song Xiaoru and Lin Suâer, and the mention of a million was to scare the other party, waiting for them to be unable to pay so he could put forward other demands.
Song Xiaoru emphasized, "I really will pay you guys, so can we consider this matter settled then?"
Chen Zixuâs mouth twitched, and if he really took their money, wouldnât that make him just like those petty extortioners? That would be even more shameful. He glared and said, "No, itâs not a matter of money. The main thing is about face. Do you think Chen Zixu is someone who lacks money? This guy hit us, so I want him... to kneel down and apologize, and also crawl between our legs, then weâll consider this over, and I donât want a penny from you."
Song Xiaoru immediately shook her head resolutely and said, "No way, Iâd rather pay you than let my brother be humiliated under you."
Chen Zixuâs eyes widened as he said, "Kneel down and crawl under me, and itâs as if youâve earned a million? And you still refuse to do it? Do you know if I told others to do this, theyâd agree immediately?"
This really did hit home for most people. If they could only choose one, theyâd definitely opt to kneel, not willing to part with a million.
Song Xiaoru still firmly said, "We are already seriously trying to resolve the issue. Sir, if you continue to press us like this, that would be too much."
Chen Zixu glared and said, "So what if Iâm being too much? Now thereâs only one way, both of you give me a kiss, and then let this kid kneel down and admit his fault, or else this matter isnât over, humph! In this city, if I want to make life hell for you, you have absolutely no chance to fight back."
Song Xiaodong pulled Song Xiaoru and said, "Sister, let me handle this. Some people, the more face you give them, the more arrogant they become. Donât worry, I know what Iâm doing."
Song Xiaoru turned her head to look at Song Xiaodong, and from his eyes, she saw certainty, saw steadiness, which made her involuntarily nod. She had always seen Song Xiaodong as the troublemaker he had been, but now Song Xiaodong had grown up, he had become capable, and no longer needed her to shield him from the storm. Now, it was his turn to stand up for her, to hold up that big protective umbrella for her.
Song Xiaodong took a step forward, facing Chen Zixu, who reflexively stepped back, but, feeling that it showed weakness, immediately stepped forward again, glaring and saying, "Kid, if you dare to make a move, youâre dead for sure."
Song Xiaodongâs mouth formed a sly smile and asked, "What did you say in the beginning? Was it about your pants getting wet, and that we should compensate you?"
"Exactly!" Chen Zixu lifted his chin.
With a mischievous smile, Song Xiaodong said, "Fine, letâs settle our accounts one by one, starting with your pants." As he spoke, he reached out.
Chen Zixu instantly recoiled in fear, not getting hit, while Song Xiaodong held up his phone and said, "Iâm just borrowing your phone for a second."
As Song Xiaodong unlocked Chen Zixuâs phone, he added himself on WeChat and transferred eight thousand yuan to Chen Zixu, saying, "There, now Iâve transferred eight thousand to you, that should compensate for your pants, right?"
Chen Zixu, confused by Song Xiaodongâs actions, glanced at his phone and indeed there was a transfer of eight thousand yuan. He snorted and said, "Donât think this settles it. I donât need your lousy money."
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "I know, letâs take our time calculating."
The crowd secretly sneered, thinking that just moments ago, this tough young man might stage a show of defiance against the wealthy, but now he seemed just as submissive, which was quite disappointing.
Wang Xiaoqiang and Li Gang came over as well, but neither of them spoke. Based on their understanding of Song Xiaodong, they knew this matter wouldnât be so simple.
Song Xiaodong put away his phone and said, "Now, the question is, Iâve compensated you for the pants, so shouldnât the ownership of these pants belong to me now?"
Chen Zixu was taken aback and unconsciously nodded.
With a light smile, Song Xiaodong said, "Thatâs great, take off the pants and give them to me."
"What?" Chen Zixu was suddenly wide-eyed.
Song Xiaodong glared and demanded, "These pants are mine now, isnât it right for me to take back whatâs mine if youâre wearing them?"
"You... I..."
"Whatâs this âyou you me meâ? Are you going to take them off yourself, or should I help you? Make it quick," Song Xiaodong leaned in a step, resting his hand on Chen Zixuâs shoulder, his wolf-like gaze fixed on him.
"Do you know who I am? You dare treat me like this?" Chen Zixu was blustering but fearful, wanting to back away, yet felt as if a great weight pressed on his shoulder, leaving him unable to escape.
"Looks like you donât want to take them off yourself. Fine, then Iâll help you. Everyone, watch closely. Heâs wearing my pants, so Iâm just taking them back. This isnât robbery."
Wang Xiaoqiang and Li Gang, both excited, burst out, "Dongzi, let us handle this." Then they rushed over like voracious beasts, reaching for Chen Zixuâs pants.
"Stop! Stop!" Chen Zixu shouted desperately, clutching fiercely at his waistband, then calling out to his other three friends, "Come and help me, guys!"
Song Xiaodong glared and shouted, "Whoever tries to stop me taking my pants back is asking for trouble."
