Chapter 238 Shen Xiangxiang and Shang Zexi's relationship faces another challenge
Today is the day Shang Zexi is released from prison.
The businessmen used special connections to get Shang Zexi released from prison a few days earlier than he was originally scheduled to be released.
Even Qin Yeting was unaware of this.
Shang Zexi's second uncle came directly to the prison to pick him up.
After breathing in the fresh air outside, Shang Zexi felt incredibly relaxed!
Although I ate and drank well in prison and wasn't bullied much, it was still more comfortable outside.
"Hehe, Second Uncle, why are you the only one here?" Shang Zexi looked at Second Master Shang with a grin.
Master Shang, a stern-faced middle-aged man, gave Shang Zexi a cold look and said, "Is it something to be proud of to commit murder and go to jail? Do you expect your whole family to come and pick you up?"
"I was just saying, exchanging pleasantries with you. It's been so long since we last met, I've missed you terribly!" Shang Zexi reached out and gave Second Master Shang a hug.
But Master Shang pushed him away directly, saying, "You just got out of prison, you're covered in bad luck, and you haven't showered yet, don't touch me."
"Is Second Uncle disgusted with me? Grandma said that when I was little, I peed on you, and you even said I peed well!" Shang Zexi said shamelessly.
Master Shang roared angrily, "You were only two years old then! How old are you now? You're in your mid-twenties, and you almost ruined yourself for a woman! If the Bai family hadn't suddenly collapsed, do you think you'd be out here?"
With your stupidity, any business that gets handed over to you is likely doomed!
Your only clever move was getting along well with Qin Yeting and thus securing a powerful position with the Qin family.
Otherwise, you would have been kicked out of the house long ago for this!
Master Shang stopped being polite and proceeded to berate Shang Zexi mercilessly.
Shang Zexi also stopped joking and fell silent.
Master Shang led Shang Zexi into a car.
Shang Zexi thought he was going to the Qin family, so he greeted Qin Yeting first.
But this road clearly doesn't lead that way!
"Second Uncle, where are you taking me?" Shang Zexi asked anxiously.
"Of course I'll take you home!" Master Shang replied coldly.
"Take me to the Qin family first, no, to the Shen family, so I can say hello to Xiangxiang, and then we can go back, okay?" Shang Zexi pleaded in a low voice.
Master Shang directly refused, saying, "You should break up with that girl from the Shen family."
"What?"
“I said, that girl from the Shen family is not suitable for you. Break it off. The family will arrange a prettier and more decent girl for you.”
Shen's family background was never a good match for Shang's. Back then, seeing that you liked her, she was quite decent, and her family turned a blind eye, which was considered to be giving you your blessing.
As a result, after you got together with that girl, you faced death several times, and this time you almost got executed in Country A, causing us merchants a great disgrace!
“This is a special case. Bai Muyang is no good. I did nothing wrong in order to protect the woman I love!”
"You're right, but you and that girl aren't a good match! Your grandfather had someone calculate it, and that girl's birth chart is unlucky; she's your nemesis."
I'm saying it again, you're not allowed to see her again!
Master Shang's tone was exceptionally serious.
Clearly, he was genuinely angry.
Shang Zexi is not the kind of young master who obediently follows orders from his family.
“If you don’t agree, then I’ll just leave the Shang family and marry into the Shen family. I don’t mind being a live-in son-in-law.”
"Ha! Without the halo of being the eldest son of the Shang family, do you think that girl from the Shen family will still care about you?" Second Master Shang sneered coldly.
At his age, he has seen too many breakups and reunions.
Back then, he was just as naive as Shang Zexi, willing to give up everything for the woman he loved.
However, just three days after his falling out with his family, his girlfriend at the time started looking for someone else.
Once found, she kicked him away without hesitation, claiming it was for his own good.
From then on, he no longer believed in women or in love, and has remained single ever since.
"Second Uncle, just because you haven't met a good woman doesn't mean everyone is the same. Xiangxiang isn't that kind of person!"
"Fine! You don't believe me? Then I'll take you to the Shen family and make you give up completely!" Second Master Shang coldly ordered, "Driver, turn around!"
The driver changed direction in a proper and orderly manner.
Soon, the uncle and nephew arrived at the Shen family's house.
Shen Qingyun went to the company, and Shen Xiangxiang was just about to leave to visit Shang Zexi in prison.
She goes there every day recently.
When Shen Xiangxiang saw Shang Zexi being released from prison early, her expression lit up, and she excitedly went up to hug Shang Zexi!
"Am I dreaming? You came out early? That's great!!! Waaah—" Shen Xiangxiang was so happy that she burst into tears.
Shang Zexi hugged Shen Xiangxiang tightly, patted her head with his large hand, and whispered, "Yes, I'm back. Don't cry, this is a good thing."
"I know, but I'm just so happy, I just want to cry! Shang Zexi, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I already said when I was in jail that it's all in the past and we can't bring it up again. We'll be together properly from now on!" Shang Zexi reached out and wiped Shen Xiangxiang's tears with his sleeve.
Then he suddenly remembered what Master Shang had just said, and pushed Shen Xiangxiang away, "Alright, stop hugging me for now. I'm covered in bad luck, I need to take a shower before I can hug you properly."
"I don't mind, I want to hug you!" Shen Xiangxiang was clearly different from Master Shang.
Upon hearing this, Shang Zexi's lips curled up slightly, a hint of indescribable joy in his expression.
Just as the young couple were getting intimate, Second Master Shang spoke up, breaking the atmosphere, "Miss Chen, this is the last time you will see each other, so cherish it."
"What?" Shen Xiangxiang's expression was one of disbelief upon hearing this.
Master Shang continued, "Miss Shen and my son Zexi are not a good match. The Shang family has decided to find Zexi a new fiancée. We ask Miss Shen to respect herself and not to cause any more trouble."
Shen Xiangxiang's face turned pale, and she was speechless for a moment after hearing these words.
She never imagined that there was a gap in social class between her and Shang Zexi.
"Second Uncle, that's your opinion. I only like Xiangxiang. Thank you for bringing me here. You can go back now. I'm not leaving." Shang Zexi stood in front of Shen Xiangxiang.
To prevent Master Shang from turning against her and harming Shen Xiangxiang.
Master Shang remained calm and simply asked, "You really aren't coming with me?"
"I'm not leaving!" Shang Zexi answered loudly.
"Very good." Second Master Shang glanced at Shang Zexi, then looked at Shen Xiangxiang. "Miss Shen, if you keep Zexi here, you should be prepared that the Shen family will be ruined."
It's important to understand that for the merchants to deal with the Shen family, it would only take a few words.
If you're smart, you'd better try to persuade him; otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if your father and brother had to beg at the merchant's door.
"You—you're despicable!" Shen Xiangxiang clenched her fists in anger. She hadn't expected that Shang Zexi's family would not only oppose it.
They also intend to target the Shen family.
"What's so despicable about this? I'm just making a verbal threat; I haven't even started anything yet. When I get serious, that's when you'll be crying." Master Shang's voice grew colder and colder.
Shen Xiangxiang looked panicked, her mind blank.
