Chapter 98 Who Threatens Whom

gry. "You've been answering phone calls all day without me knowing; I felt something was off a long time ago. Now that you’ve been caught red-handed, how could you still tell me you split up with your...Just three minutes ago, Lin Zihao was feeling quite happy. After five years away, he had returned to Jianghai City and found that everyone there still treated him with utmost respect; he was still the former number one young master of Jianghai, and his status remained as it always had been.

When he announced that Mu Han was his fiancée, he felt even more triumphant. He could clearly sense the envy from all the men present because while there are many beautiful women in this world, those at Mu Han’s level are few and far between. Possessing a woman like her is an honor for any man and can even be seen as a symbol of status.

Many times, being with a beautiful woman isn’t just about having a partner; to men, these women represent a kind of luxury item. Just because one has money doesn't mean they can own such an item, let alone keep it. Therefore, in some ways, the quality of the women around a man reflects his status.

But Xiamu’s few slaps sent all of Lin Zihao's joy to the Pacific Ocean. His fiancée was actually spanked right there in front of everyone, and more shockingly, she didn’t struggle or protest at all—she lay on that man with such intimacy as if willingly accepting her punishment. Despite his heart having become quite resilient over these years, this incident almost made him faint from rage!

To any man, this is the ultimate humiliation; even being cuckolded by one's wife isn't as bad. After all, cuckolding usually happens in secret, but now it’s happening right under everyone’s eyes, with high society figures of Jianghai City present. By tomorrow morning at the latest, news of this incident will spread throughout the city and Lin Zihao—the former number one young master of Jianghai—will no longer be able to hold his head up in front of others.

Lin Zihao’s loud shout had no effect on Xiamu. He raised his hand again and slapped Mu Han’s plump butt: "Are you still going to be disobedient in the future"

"I..." Mu Han glanced at Lin Zihao, feeling hesitant. She knew clearly that if she obeyed Xia Tian unconditionally, Lin Zihao would feel ashamed to face her, but if she didn't listen to him, Xia Tian might continue spanking her.

“Slap!” As she hesitated, Xia Tian slapped her bottom again.

This slap immediately made Mu Han resolve herself. She realized that when it came to strength, there was no way she could compete with Xia Tian. It seemed she had no choice but to continue using another method.

"Husband, stop hitting me!" Mu Han raised her head, her cheeks flushed red, looking exceptionally flirtatious. "From now on, I'll listen to you!"

“Mu Han, you!” Lin Zihao was so angry that he felt like vomiting blood. How could she call someone else 'husband'

"Well then, tell him right now that from now on, you are my wife and have nothing to do with him!" Xia Tian glanced at Lin Zihao.

Mu Han hadn't spoken yet when Lin Zihao angrily opened his mouth: "Summer, what do you mean by this You're clearly Xiao Qiao's fiancé. What does Mu Han have to do with you Are you intentionally causing trouble here and trying to make me lose face"

"Hey, isn't it you who's giving me a hard time It’s you who wants to take my wife away now!" Summer said unhappily.

"Take your wife away" Lin Zihao laughed out of extreme anger. "How ridiculous! How long have you known Mu Han She's been here for less than three days, and you've known her for no more than three days as well. As for me, I’ve known her for three years. Who is really taking whom’s woman"

"How old are you" Summer asked.

"What does my age have to do with you" Lin Zihao coldly retorted. "Summer, I don't care who's giving you orders and making you give me a hard time; as long as you immediately let go of Mu Han and stop bothering her from now on, I can overlook this incident for Xiao Qiao’s sake."

Summer looked unconvinced: "It's clearly you who are causing trouble with me. You didn't say your age, but I guess you're around twenty-five years old. You just met Mu Han three years ago when you were twenty-two. This year, I'm nineteen and have known her since then. Obviously, I knew her first, which means that I know her before you do, so it’s really you who's taking my wife away."

The crowd was speechless; this guy's theory was simply too strong. Even Mu Han, who was still in Xia Tian's arms, felt a bit at a loss for words. Where did this rogue come up with such twisted logic

Lin Zihao was so furious that his eyes were spitting fire: "What kind of nonsense is this"

"I've always been reasonable," Xia Tian said in an innocent tone, patting Mu Han's round buttocks. "Hey, wife, tell him. Whether you're his fiancée or whatever, it doesn't matter now; from now on, you'll be my Xia Tian's wife. If anyone dares to have ideas about my wife, I'll take them down!"

"Xia Tian, you..." Lin Zihao was enraged, but at this moment, Mu Han spoke up.

“Zihao, I’m sorry, our engagement can only be canceled.” Mu Han finally stopped leaning on Xia Tian. She straightened her body and remained close to Xia Tian, although the rosy flush still lingered on her fair face; her expression had returned to its usual coolness. Looking at Lin Zihao, there was a hint of pity and helplessness in her eyes.

The moment Mu Han said this, Lin Zihao's face turned pale instantly. His former carefree demeanor and usual grace vanished completely at this moment. No man could remain composed after such a change; neither could Lin Zihao. He felt his mind go blank while his cheeks burned red, as if Xia Tian and Mu Han had slapped him countless times on the face.

"Hahaha..." A burst of wild laughter came from the side, shocking everyone. When they turned their heads, they found that the one laughing was actually Qiao Donghai, one of Jiang Hai's Four Young Lords.

Qiao Donghai laughed so hard that he bent over backwards and even pounded his chest while laughing; anyone could tell how happy he was: "I just can't hold back! I really can’t hold it in anymore! Haha, this is too funny! Lin Zihao, you finally got what’s coming to you today! Hahaha…"

As Qiao Donghai laughed his way over to Xia Tian, he soon came beside him and patted his shoulder: "Xia Tian, from now on, you're my brother. Even if Little Qiao doesn't want to marry you because she’s angry, you’ll still be my brother, Qiao Donghai! Ten years,整整十年，我喬東海第一次覺得這麼痛快！哈哈哈……這一切都是你的功勞啊！”

"Ah, don’t talk nonsense. Who said Little Qiao will be unhappy and unwilling to marry me" Xia Tian sounded a bit annoyed.

“Right, I guess Little Qiao doesn't seem upset, ha-ha, impressive, you are truly impressive! But then again, how else could you have taken my woman from Lin Zihao” Qiao Donghai seemed extremely excited. "Haha, Lin Zihao, Lin Zihao, I’ve been telling you for a long time that karma would catch up to you one day. When I was fifteen and got my first girlfriend, you took her away from me! Then when I turned eighteen and found another girl, you snatched her too, saying it was all for my own good. Well fine, let’s say you did it for my sake, but then there was Lin Yaner—damn it, we were talking about marriage already and you still swooped in!"

The crowd fell silent; many people knew that Qiao Donghai had some kind of grudge against Lin Zihao, but they didn’t know the true reason behind it. Only now did everyone understand the depth of their enmity. Even though Qiao Donghai seemed to be gloating over Lin Zihao’s misfortune, it made sense given what he’d just said. If everything Qiao Donghai had mentioned was true, then Lin Zihao really wasn’t a very nice person.

After all, given who Lin Zihao is, he isn't short of women in his life. Why would he have to set his sights on a friend's woman Even if he does fancy someone else's partner, it can be excused as an occasional lapse. However, doing it repeatedly and persistently is simply too much.

"Donghai, are you saying that you had Xia Tian come over deliberately to sabotage me" Lin Zihao finally calmed down, at least on the surface. "I told you before that I was only looking out for your best interests. That girl you met when you were fifteen All it took was a mere ten thousand yuan from me, and she left you. As for the one you dated when you turned eighteen, all it took was a hundred thousand yuan from me to persuade her to come to my bed. Such women don't deserve you!"

Pausing briefly, Lin Zihao continued: "As for Lin Yanie, she has dreams of becoming an actress, a mere entertainer—how can someone like that be worthy to enter the illustrious gates of your Qiao family I gave her a choice between marrying you or pursuing her acting career. She chose the latter, and it was her who betrayed you. I merely facilitated her decision; all I wanted was for you to find a woman truly suitable for you!"

"Lin Zihao, shut your mouth!" Qiao Donghai barked angrily. "So what if they like money or are vain Don't I have enough cash to satisfy them If I fancy these women, why do I need you meddling in my affairs Lin Yanie wants to be a star—I can make her the biggest celebrity out there! Do I really need your interference for that I don’t lack funds!"

"Donghai, if you truly wish to find a woman who won't be with you just because of money, why didn't you reveal your true identity when you were dating them" Lin Zihao said coolly. "If you had told them from the start that you are the eldest son of the Qiao family, how could those three women have left you"

"Lin Zihao, Lin Yanie was my first love. Even if she is vain and loves money, so what I can give her enough to live a luxurious life forever. Since I am not short on cash, she won't leave me. But you—you insidious bastard—didn't just lure her away from me; you also gave me the video footage of your illicit encounters!" Qiao Donghai stared at Lin Zihao with eyes filled with seething hatred. "From that day onwards, I swore to myself: one day, I will steal the woman you love most and make you suffer as much pain as I did!"alk like that, Xia Tian took out his phone and dialed Wang Jie's number directly: "Fatty, come to the flower shop!""Yes, Big Brother!" The response from the fatty was surprisingly enthusiastic, "I'll...
