Chapter 549: Taking in a Little Brother
“Bro, what… what’s going on?” Sha Hai gestured toward his nephew kneeling on the ground, feeling somewhat perplexed.
He had been at the Hilton with Zhuang Jin, exchanging banter and discussing the distribution of interests between Persimmon Commercial and Pearl Commercial Chamber after dealing with Tan Haohan. But in the middle of the conversation, he received a call from his own side saying that his nephew, Zhao Shutong, had been attacked.
What a mess.
As the boy’s uncle, Sha Hai adored his nephew greatly, despite his disobedience. Sha Hai, being protective, wouldn’t allow anyone to harm him. Upon receiving the news, Sha Hai didn’t even bother discussing the matter with Zhuang Jin any further. He excused himself and, with a group of men, hurried over.
Of course, as to who was right and who was wrong, that was entirely within Mr. Sha’s consideration. After all, people in this line of work never really cared about right or wrong; might made right.
When Sha Hai, with all his entourage, arrived, he had initially intended to take down the troublemaker and avenge his nephew. However, upon seeing that Xiao Shun was the one responsible, he naturally didn’t dare to think too much.
Suddenly, Zhao Shutong, who had been silent for a long time, roared, “Uncle, make this jerk pay!”
Without a second thought, Sha Hai dashed over and slapped Zhao Shutong hard across the face, reprimanding, “Shut your mouth!”
Zhao Shutong was stunned by the slap, covering his face with an incredulous expression.
“Useless thing, I’ve long told you to behave. Who would have thought you’d provoke Mr. Xiao this time? When I get back, I’ll deal with you!”
After glaring fiercely at Zhao Shutong, Sha Hai returned to Xiao Shun with a smile, “Haha, Mr. Xiao, it’s my fault. I haven’t disciplined my nephew properly. Please forgive him this time.”
Good lord, when did Mr. Sha, the influential figure in Harrow, become so approachable? He was even preaching to others for the first time.
This unprecedented scene left both Wang Fu and Zhao Shutong’s friends dumbfounded. Meanwhile, they became intensely interested in Xiao Shun’s identity.
Anyone whom Sha Hai reasoned with was no ordinary person.
Feeling the astonished gazes around him, Xiao Shun smiled slightly, thinking to himself that finally, these people were no longer treating him as just a bodyguard.
Seeing that Xiao Shun merely smiled without responding to his proposal, Sha Hai couldn’t help but inquire, “Mr. Xiao, about this matter…”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Xiao Shun shook his head, “Mr. Zhao has offended someone, but whether he is forgiven is not for me to decide.”
With a gesture of his chin towards Mo Yibai sitting on the sofa, he indicated where Sha Hai’s focus should be.
When Sha Hai saw Mo Yibai, he immediately understood the cause of the situation. Clearly, his good nephew had let himself be swayed by desire, doing something offensive. This was something Sha Hai had dealt with many times before.
However, one thing put Sha Hai at ease: Zhao Shutong hadn’t succeeded yet. If he had, Sha Hai’s trip would have likely ended with collecting a body.
Thinking about this, he felt a slight movement in his heart and quickly made a decision. He then laughed and walked over to Mo Yibai.
“Haha, Miss Mo is even more beautiful in person than on TV. Coincidentally, I have a good relationship with the Xiangshi Film Distribution Company in Hong Kong. If Miss Mo doesn’t mind, I can introduce you.”
A discerning person could tell that this was Sha Hai’s way of apologizing to his nephew.
Xiangshi Group was a significant investment company in the country’s film industry. With their resources, Mo Yibai’s position in the entertainment industry was bound to rise. Sha Hai was indeed a sly old fox, adept at catering to people’s preferences.
“I would appreciate that, Mr. Sha.”
Mo Yibai smiled lightly, readily accepting his apology.
She hadn’t intended to delve deeper into this matter, especially since Xiao Shun had already spoken on her behalf. There was no need to pursue it further.
Seeing this, Sha Hai felt relaxed. If the situation had escalated, he wouldn’t have been able to handle it. After all, Xiao Shun’s capabilities were not to be trifled with. Moreover, as they had already tentatively agreed to work together to overthrow Tan Haohan’s control over Harrow, any mishap at this juncture would not be good for either of them.
With Sha Hai agreeing to introduce Mo Yibai to Xiangshi Group and Zhao Shutong apologizing, Xiao Shun and Mo Yibai left the scene.
As they left thebuilding, Xiao Shun couldn’t help but turn back and glare at the chubby figure following them closely.
“Chubby, why the hell are you following me?”
“Now you’re my boss, of course I have to follow you!” Chubby replied innocently, embodying the perfect image of a loyal follower.
“What the heck, when did I become your boss?” Xiao Shun scratched his head, momentarily taken aback.
“Boss, you didn’t act this way when you duped me into giving you special cigarettes. Didn’t you tell me that good brothers share good things, and we should smoke together?” Chubby stared at him with his pitiful eyes, reminding Xiao Shun of what had transpired.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun, frightened, immediately threw the cigarettes he was holding to the ground and pulled out another pack from his pocket, offering it to Chubby.
“Sorry, Chubby, my mistake, please take these cigarettes back!”
Chubby gave a sly smile and pushed the offered cigarettes back. “Hey, lifelong brothers share everything. These are for you, boss. Take them and smoke. I’ll make sure to bring you several boxes soon, guaranteeing a steady supply!”
With a pause, he then winked at Xiao Shun, expressing a sentiment understood by men, and said, “Haha, I won’t disturb you two anymore. Wishing you both a prosperous future!”
With that, Chubby swiftly moved to the curb and disappeared into a Rolls-Royce in the blink of an eye.
“What are you blabbering about?” Xiao Shun shouted at the departing Rolls-Royce, expressing his sentiments.
Meanwhile, Mo Yibai, embarrassed by Chubby’s teasing words, blushed, radiating an exquisite charm.
