Chapter 172: Rubbing Salt in the Wound

After sitting on the sofa.

Wang Haoran looked at the three respectful minor villains and felt very satisfied.

If they had mocked him like they did Xiao Longchen, they’d be begging for mercy within a minute.

Since they were so cooperative, Wang Haoran decided not to make things difficult for them.

Perhaps he could use them to strike at Xiao Longchen.

Thinking this, Wang Haoran deliberately looked at Lanlan’s husband and said.

“Hello, my surname is Wang. Like Mr. Xiao here, I don’t have a job. Can you help me out too?”

“Haha, Mr. Wang is joking. How can this guy, who looks so useless, be compared to you? You don’t need a job; you’re beyond that, right?”

Lanlan’s husband laughed obsequiously.

Though he didn’t know Wang Haoran’s identity, he could tell from his demeanor that Wang Haoran was a big shot he couldn’t offend.

Beside him, Lanlan blushed as she looked at Wang Haoran and said.

“You’re so good-looking, it doesn’t matter if you don’t work… I’m so jealous of Weiwei…”

“Just now, when I thought this disheveled guy was Weiwei’s boyfriend, I felt sorry for her… thinking she was a flower stuck in cow dung…”

“But I didn’t expect she found such a great guy… I’m so jealous…”

After Lanlan finished, her husband didn’t get angry; instead, he nodded in agreement.

Then it was Lanlan’s mom’s turn to speak.

She addressed Lin’s mother.

“Sigh, Weiwei’s mom, seeing this guy earlier, I thought I had won against you again.”

“But I didn’t expect you to be hiding such an excellent son-in-law! No wonder you were so happy to post on social media!”

“Sigh, I’ve made a fool of myself this time!”

Very good, Wang Haoran was very satisfied.

He just started it, and these three minor villains immediately began praising him while belittling Xiao Longchen.

Naturally, Xiao Longchen felt the difference in treatment from the trio.

He felt very bitter.

Why?

When you mistook me for Weiwei’s boyfriend, you mocked me endlessly, but upon knowing Wang Haoran is the real deal, you started praising?

If they knew Wang Haoran was the richest man and flattered him, fine.

But it was clear they didn’t know!

Just by looks alone, their attitude towards the two of us differed so much?

Is this reasonable?

Weiwei, my childhood friend, likes Wang Haoran and dislikes me, and now these three fools do too!

Damn it!

The more Xiao Longchen thought, the angrier he got, and he couldn’t help but stand up.

“Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, I have something to attend to, so I’ll be leaving!”

Now, his plan to protect Weiwei from Wang Haoran had failed, and he’d been mentally battered, so Xiao Longchen decided to leave this heart-wrenching place.

Seeing his state, Lin’s father and mother nodded.

They knew Lanlan’s mom and the others’ words were very disrespectful to Xiao Longchen… but they couldn’t stop them…

Because the trio kept praising their good son-in-law, praising Weiwei’s good fortune, and praising their vision…

Receiving such flattery from their long-time rivals made Lin’s parents a bit heady, unable to speak harshly.

So, they also felt it was better for Xiao Longchen to leave first.

Thus, Xiao Longchen stormed out of the Lin household.

Of course, the kind-hearted Wang Haoran volunteered to see Xiao Longchen out on behalf of the Lin family.

Watching Xiao Longchen walk out without looking back, Wang Haoran hurried after him.

“Mr. Xiao, wait!”

“…What is it?”

Xiao Longchen’s tone was irritable.

All his recent sufferings stemmed from this Wang Haoran, the guy who deceived his Weiwei!

Damn it!

Because of you, Weiwei can’t even walk now and couldn’t come out to see me off!

However, knowing it wasn’t the right time, Xiao Longchen restrained his urge to hit Wang Haoran.

Seeing him like this, Wang Haoran smiled.

“Mr. Xiao, don’t be in such a hurry. I came to apologize!”

Hearing Wang Haoran’s sincere words, Xiao Longchen was puzzled.

“Apologize? If it’s about Weiwei liking you, then there’s no need! I don’t need your pity!”

Liking “you”? No need? If you knew I used a potion to make Weiwei like me, you’d be furious enough to attack immediately!

Wang Haoran thought and shook his head.

“No, no, Mr. Xiao, that’s not what I meant.”

“I’m apologizing because… you helped us get the oil last night…”

“Sigh, Weiwei… was too wet… so we didn’t need it!”

“Really sorry, I promised you some involvement!”

Wang Haoran said, rubbing his waist with his right hand.

“Really overworked myself…”

“Mr. Xiao, how about this, transfer me some money so I can buy some viagra pills.”

“Then, when I’m stronger and happy with Weiwei, every time I move my waist, you’ll have contributed!”

“What do you think, Mr. Xiao? Doesn’t that feel involved?”

“…”

“Damn it!”

You bullied my childhood friend until your waist went soft, and now you want me to pay for your viagra medicine?

Too much!

Xiao Longchen finally couldn’t hold it in and slapped Wang Haoran.

But Wang Haoran anticipated it and dodged.

Seeing Wang Haoran’s smug smile, Xiao Longchen didn’t pursue further but sneered.

“Fine, I’ll remember you!”

Before, Xiao Longchen thought of the Wang family as just pawns controlled by the ghost-masked man, planning to accept their surrender after dealing with him.

As for Weiwei… even then, he was willing to accept her.

If Wang Haoran cooperated, letting Weiwei’s heart return to him, he might spare Wang Haoran’s life.

But now, not only did Wang Haoran not admit wrong, he provoked him!

Seeking death!

What overworked, you’re at least a Huajin expert, and Weiwei was a virgin; if anyone’s tired, it’s Weiwei!

She can’t even walk now!

If you asked for ointment to soothe Weiwei’s swelling, I’d give you money.

But you want viagra medicine to bully her more!

Scum!

My Weiwei, you’re going to suffer again…

The more Xiao Longchen thought, the more his heart ached.

After leaving harsh words, he ignored Wang Haoran and quickly left the Lin house.
