Chapter 68 He is mine
Guo Chengyu took a deep breath, his eyes widening like bells.
Damn! Is this guy crazy?!
Jiang Xiaoshuai covered his mouth and almost screamed: Dawei! You are so awesome!
Yue Yue was so frightened that his face turned pale and he subconsciously took a step back.
Is this...is this right?
Chi Cheng's fingers that were holding Wu Suowei's wrist suddenly tightened with such force that Wu Suowei groaned in pain, almost thinking that his bones were going to break.
He turned his head and looked at Wu Suwei with eyes full of warning and a hint of...incredible shock and anger.
He wasn't afraid of the old man, but he was really afraid that the old man would do something secretly. It could make those snakes disappear, and of course it could also...
Cold sweat broke out on my back.
Chi Yuanduan obviously did not expect Wu Suowei to be so straightforward and even throw a tantrum in his "self-explosion".
For the first time, his brows on his icy face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, furrowed slightly, and his eyes became sharper.
"You are quite self-aware." Chi Yuanduan's voice became even colder, full of sarcasm and disgust. "Since you know this, you should understand your place. Chi Cheng's future doesn't belong to someone like you..."
"My future is my own decision."
A deep voice abruptly interrupted Chi Yuanduan's words.
It’s Chi Cheng!
He finally let go of Wu Suowei's wrist, but a clear red mark was left on the wrist.
He took a step forward and blocked half of Wu Suowei's body behind him. His tall figure formed an invisible barrier.
He looked directly at his father, and there was no retreat in those bottomless eyes.
"Who is he, where is he, what is he doing?" Chi Cheng's voice was not loud, but it was clearly carried to every corner of the living room. With a firm and resolute tone, he said, "I chose it, I decided it, and I bear the consequences."
He paused, his eyes sweeping over the glaring red mark on Wu Suowei's wrist. The hostility in his eyes grew even stronger, and his voice became deeper and more dangerous: "As for whether I am worthy of you...you have no say. I like you, so I have the final say."
This statement is tantamount to a direct declaration of war.
This was Chi Cheng's most blatant challenge to his father's authority.
Guo Chengyu and Jiang Xiaoshuai didn't even dare to breathe.
Chi Yuanduan's face completely darkened, and his hawk-like eyes stared at Chi Cheng, filled with offended anger and a deeper, disobedient coldness.
He hadn't expected that his son, who had always been unruly but at least appeared to be restrained, would contradict him in public for a little thing that was not presentable.
Even... declaring sovereignty?!
The gazes of the father and son collided fiercely in the air, invisible smoke filled the air, and the air pressure was so low that it was suffocating.
Wu Suowei, who was blocked by Chi Cheng behind him, felt his heart pounding.
He looked at Chi Cheng's back, which seemed to be able to withstand all pressure, and listened to his decisive words "I have the final say". An indescribable, scorching heat suddenly rushed to his eyes.
Chi Cheng… is he defending me? He… is he challenging his father?! For me?!
The impact of this realization shocked Wu Suowei far more than Chi Yuanduan's oppression.
Although Chi Cheng was also strong, he had never so clearly fought against the family for him.
A sour and strange sense of security instantly broke through the fierce shell he had just maintained.
No! If Chi Cheng insists on doing this, it will only anger his father! Things will get even worse! He will be implicated even more deeply!
He still remembered Chi Yuanduan's ruthless methods in his previous life!
If I can't deal with Chi Cheng, can I still deal with Wu Suowei? !
This can't happen! I have to do something! I can't hide behind Chi Cheng forever!
I want to become stronger! Strong enough to at least... at least make his father dare not touch me easily!
Strong enough to stand with Chi Cheng instead of being protected by him!
An almost crazy idea exploded in Wu Suowei's confused mind.
He needed power! He needed leverage! He needed the capital to take on the mountain at the far end of the pond! And he needed it now!
"Chi Cheng!" Chi Yuanduan's voice was filled with extremely suppressed anger, like a volcano about to erupt. "Is that how you talk to me?! For something like this?!"
"He's not!" Chi Cheng's voice was colder and harder than his father's, with a determination to burn himself to death. "He's mine."
"Your man?" Chi Yuanduan laughed in anger, his smile icy and bone-chilling. "Good! Very good! Chi Cheng, you've grown wings, haven't you? I want to see how long you can protect him! Let's see if he can bear the 'blessing' that comes with being 'your man'!"
He spoke the last few words very heavily, full of naked threats.
Wu Suowei felt cold all over when he was looked at by that gaze, but Chi Cheng's words "my man" and his back like a mountain blocking in front of him gave him unprecedented courage.
He knew that Chi Yuanduan had completely broken off relations with him, and no soft or hard tactics would be of any use.
The only thing that can shut him up is strength.
Get stronger! Now! Right now!
Wu Suowei's brain was working frantically at an unprecedented speed.
He needs money! He needs power! He needs something that can make people fear him!
The little bit of foresight advantage he gained from his rebirth was insignificant in front of a behemoth like the Chi family. He had to seize every opportunity.
"Uncle Chi!" Wu Suowei suddenly leaned half of his body out from behind Chi Cheng, his voice trembling slightly with excitement and determination, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, "You're right! I'm not worthy of Chi Cheng right now! I'm poor! I have no background! I'm nothing!"
His sudden "admission of weakness" surprised everyone.
Chi Cheng frowned and looked at him.
A hint of surprise flashed across Chi Yuanduan's cold eyes.
Wu Suowei took a deep breath, straightened his back, and faced Chi Yuanduan's scrutinizing gaze. He spoke clearly, word for word, "But give me a year! No! Half a year! Half a year! I'll prove it to you! I, Wu Suowei, am not a loser who can only survive by clinging to Chi Cheng! I will stand by him uprightly! Let you see if I'm worthy!"
His words were powerful, carrying an almost tragic promise and a desperate ruthlessness.
The entire living room fell into an eerie silence again.
Guo Chengyu and Jiang Xiaoshuai were both stunned.
Half a year? Standing upright beside Chi Cheng? Fighting against the Chi family?
Is this guy scared silly or crazy? !
Chi Cheng looked at Wu Suowei's cheeks that were slightly flushed with excitement and his eyes that were surprisingly bright, his eyes were deep and difficult to read.
Little thing...what are you playing at again?
But he didn't stop, he believed in his fear.
He wanted to see what kind of bloody path this little wolf cub, who was forced into a corner by the old man, could take.
Chi Yuanduan also fell silent.
His sharp gaze lingered on Wu Suowei's face for a long time, as if assessing the weight and madness of his words.
