"This... that... I..."
Chen Mingxi's mind was filled with the shock Chen Xiao had given her, and she stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"Can't even speak clearly, truly a good-for-nothing who only knows how to study like Chen Xiao. Why would Mrs. Qin let her in the car?"
Chen Mingyue was already fidgeting anxiously, muttering softly as she quickly approached the driver's side door of the Maserati, clearly intending to curry favor with Liu Xin before anyone else.
However, the moment she saw Chen Xiao get out of the car, her fawning expression froze instantly. She looked as if she had eaten something foul.
Xie Dan, who had rushed up behind her, also hadn't expected Chen Xiao to be the one getting out. She frantically leaned towards the car window, only to find Liu Xin wasn't inside. She was beside herself and exclaimed in disbelief:
"Chen Xiao, weren't you just kicked out by security? Why are you driving Mrs. Qin's car? Where is she?"
Chen Xiao was bewildered:
"Which Mrs. Qin? Qin Han Tang's wife? I don't know her."
Xie Dan immediately flew into a rage, roaring menacingly:
"Chen, you know I'm talking about President Qin's wife, and you're flaunting her car, yet you dare say you don't know her?"
Chen Mingyue had now recovered from her shock:
"Chen Xiao, you didn't lie, steal, or even snatch Mrs. Qin's car, did you? She's a benefactor to Uncle Hai Long's family. We can barely show her enough respect, so don't mess around, or you won't even know how you died..."
Chen Xiao interrupted Chen Mingyue unceremoniously:
"What kind of bullshit are you spouting! Which eye of yours saw me messing around?"
Beside them, Chen Mingxi quickly explained:
"Cousin, you've misunderstood my brother. This car wasn't lied for, stolen, or snatched. It was borrowed..."
But before she could finish, Wang Xiaoxia covered her mouth.
"Borrowed?"
Chen Mingyue was skeptical, then said in an even more alarmist tone:
"Chen Xiao, have you gotten involved with Mrs. Qin? My goodness! It's one thing for you to be involved with Zheng Youen and the female deputy chief physician at your hospital, but you can't even let Mrs. Qin go? I heard Aunt Xie Dan say that Mrs. Qin is probably in her thirties or forties, old enough to be your mother..."
"Slap—"
Chen Xiao, unable to take it anymore, slapped Chen Mingyue across the face:
"Do you think everyone else is as promiscuous as you are, willing to sleep with someone older than your father? Who are you trying to disgust?"
Saying that, Chen Xiao didn't hesitate. He launched a kick, sending the scantily clad and provocatively dressed Chen Mingyue stumbling backward.
"You... you hit me again?"
Chen Mingyue, publicly slapped and utterly humiliated, went completely berserk and lunged at Chen Xiao.
Although Xie Dan wished Chen Mingyue would tear into Chen Xiao and make him lose face, she didn't want such a scene on the first day in her new house. Moreover, she was very worried about Liu Xin's situation. So, she quickly pulled Chen Mingyue back, then glared at Chen Xiao with a dark expression, and gritted her teeth, demanding:
"Chen Xiao, tell me immediately why you're driving Mrs. Qin's car. What have you done to her?"
Chen Xiao retorted coldly:
"Are you so sure the car I'm driving is Mrs. Qin's?"
Xie Dan looked at him with utter contempt, her tone extremely arrogant:
"Otherwise? It's not like Mrs. Qin would actually lend it to you, right? Take a good look at yourself, you're just a bastard who's only good-looking and useless. Do you even qualify to know Mrs. Qin? Don't say I didn't warn you, if you don't tell the truth, I'll call the police!"
Chen Mingxi could no longer ignore Wang Xiaoxia's obstruction and said:
"Aunt, you've really misunderstood my brother. This Maserati wasn't lent to him by Mrs. Qin. It belongs to Miss Song Yan, the eldest daughter of the billionaire Song family. Also, my brother has a villa in Swan Lake小区..."
Fearing Chen Xiao would actually be arrested, Chen Mingxi was already in tears before she even finished speaking. But even so, she resolutely broke free from Wang Xiaoxia's grasp to protect Chen Xiao.
However, Chen Xiao didn't want Chen Mingxi to protect him. He stepped forward, pulled Chen Mingxi behind him, and continued to confront Xie Dan and the others:
"The car I'm driving was indeed not borrowed from Mrs. Qin, and I don't know her. But I have been kind to her family! In other words, in your eyes, she might be your benefactor, but in her family's eyes, I am the benefactor!"
As if on cue, just as Chen Xiao finished speaking, Liu Xin suddenly arrived in a car worth hundreds of thousands.
Xie Dan's eyes lit up. Forgetting Chen Xiao entirely, she quickly rushed forward to greet her:
"Oh! Mrs. Qin, your arrival truly graces our humble home! Welcome! Welcome! A warm welcome!"
Chen Mingyue and the others also quickly stepped forward to flatter her, completely ignoring Chen Xiao. It was clear they all thought Chen Xiao and Chen Mingxi were bragging.
