Chapter 781  : He Followed Closely Like a Shadow (5)

Shen Liangchuan had taken martial arts lessons as a child and, on top of that, he had been an actor for many years. He was well-trained in Chinese martial arts, as well as Taekwondo. Furthermore, he was properly fit thanks to a regular training program. Handling the two bodyguards did not pose a challenge for him at all.

He easily threw the two bodyguards on the ground. At that moment, he had one leg on one of the bodyguards, ensuring that the other could not get up at all. However, he simply raised his head to look at Shen Xiu in dismay.

The look in his eyes was icy and so full of anger that anyone looking at them would shudder.

Shen Xiu stumbled backwards in fright. “What do you think you’re doing? Will you dare to hit me?”

Shen Liangchuan looked at him impassively and said only one word, “Scram.”

Shen Xiu’s expression clouded over, dark as a pot.

The younger man shifted his gaze away and turned around to walk back to his mother.

But after he had taken two steps, a loud crash was heard.

All of a sudden, the house fell into a deafening silence.

Everyone looked at the scene that was playing out before their eyes in complete disbelief.

Qiao Lian watched the unimaginable in horror.

Shen Xiu had lifted the vase in his hand and thrust it in the direction of Shen Liangchuan’s head.

But Xia Yehua had been faster. She had taken a step forward and pushed her son out of the way, so the vase fully landed on her back.

Her expression went blank.

Then a bolt of pain shot up her spine and her vision turned dark, as she almost passed out.

Shen Liangchuan’s expression clouded over as he spun to catch the falling Xia Yehua in his arms. Widening his eyes in horror, he cried out, “Mom!”

Xia Yehua sighed with relief as she whispered, “Good thing that it didn’t get you.”

Shen Liangchuan’s eyes reddened at once.

His head snapped up as he glared at Shen Xiu with fury.

Qiao Lian felt the inside of her head explode, as the anger that had built up within her found no outlet.

She saw that Shen Liangchuan was holding Xia Yehua, unable to retaliate. Without a word, she went into the kitchen.

When she came back out, she was holding a chopper knife in her hand.

Brandishing the knife in the air, she shouted at Shen Xiu and his bodyguards, “Come on then! If you’re not afraid of death, come!”

Her angry cry was like an animal roar, causing the bodyguards to shrink back a fraction.

Even Shen Xiu’s expression turned wretched, as he retreated behind his bodyguards.

With the knife raised, Qiao Lian stood in front of Shen Liangchuan and stared straight at Shen Xiu. “Are you going to be so unreasonable?! Mom cut off ties with you a long time ago, why do you keep coming back to provoke her?”

He gave a cold snort and glared at Xia Yehua.

She was as pale as a sheet now.

His eyes flashed with the realization that he had gone overboard indeed.

Slightly softening his tone, but still looking viciously at the mother and son, he said, “You said you don’t lust for the Shen family’s inheritance. So, do you dare swear that you will never take a single cent from the Shen family?”

After he said this, his eyes lit up and he took a step forward, as though he had chanced upon a great idea. “As long as you swear that you will never ever step into the Shen family and will never ever take a single cent from the Shen family, I promise that I will never come to create trouble for you.”

He said it like he was a martyr doing them a huge favour and giving them an out.

Qiao Lian wanted to laugh out loud when he said this.

She turned to look at Shen Liangchuan. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly gave an icy smile, saying, “Why should I give you my word for this?”
