Chapter 157
This was, without a doubt, the most humiliating and frustrating day of Gao Tianqi’s life.
He couldn’t stomach the bitter resentment of being cuckolded.
And he refused to accept being taken down by a nobody like Chenyang.
To reclaim his dignity and vent his frustration, Gao Tianqi quickly found the number for the head of security and dialed it.
Faced with Gao Tianqi’s aggressive, vengeful posture, Chenyang showed no fear, maintaining his calm demeanor.
But a look of panic instantly flooded An Xiaoqing’s pretty face.
She hurriedly tried to stop him. "Stop! Don’t call anyone over."
"What? Scared?" Gao Tianqi mocked. "It’s not impossible for me to not call them. Just have that punk Chen next to you kneel down and give me ten loud kowtows. Then have him call me ’Grandpa’ a few times. If he makes me happy, maybe I’ll give you two a chance to talk this out."
Chenyang snorted. "Me? Kneel and kowtow to you? Have you lost your fucking mind from all your wet dreams?"
"Kid, I don’t think you realize how serious this is."
"Serious my ass. If you’re going to call someone, then hurry up and do it. I’d like to see just what kind of powerful backup you can muster!"
Seeing Chenyang’s fearless expression, Gao Tianqi sneered. "An Xiaoqing, you see? It’s not that I won’t give you a chance. This kid is just rushing to his own death.
Since he’d rather do this the hard way, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
"Don’t... don’t make the call. Xiaochen is young and reckless. Give me some time, let me talk to him."
"I don’t have time to waste on you two. For the sake of our marriage, I’ll give you just two minutes."
Gao Tianqi wanted to teach Chenyang a lesson, but more than calling for backup, he wanted to make this shameless pair pay with his own hands.
For one, being cuckolded wasn’t exactly something to be proud of, and he didn’t want too many people to know.
Besides, getting revenge personally would be far more satisfying than having others do it for him!
Hearing Gao Tianqi give them only two minutes, An Xiaoqing hurriedly whispered to Chenyang, "Why don’t you just lower your head and apologize to him?"
Chenyang raised an eyebrow. "Have you lost your mind too?"
"No, it’s just that we can’t let this escalate any further. The consequences will be more than you can handle."
"What’s there to handle? He’s just calling a few security guards."
An Xiaoqing shook her head vigorously. "The guards he’s calling aren’t your average joes. The City Hospital recently upgraded its security. All the new guards they hired are either veterans or trained security professionals.
I admit, you’re a good fighter. You might be able to handle one or two of them, but going up against the entire security team of the City Hospital? You’ll definitely pay a heavy price."
"Is it really as serious as you’re making it out to be?"
"I’m not kidding. A couple of days ago, some drunk gang boss was causing trouble here. He called in over ten of his thugs, but the security team sent out just three men and took them all down."
"So the City Hospital really is something else. Not only are the doctors incredible, but even the security guards are this strong."
"They’re even tougher than you think. And the hospital director gave them an order: within the hospital grounds, as long as they’re protecting medical staff and patients, the hospital will handle the fallout whether they kill or cripple anyone causing trouble.
That means if Gao Tianqi calls them, they can attack you without any hesitation."
An Xiaoqing sighed and took Chenyang’s hand, pleading earnestly, "I know it’s humiliating to make you apologize to a scumbag like him.
But a wise man doesn’t fight a losing battle. Apologizing and losing a little face is better than being crippled or killed, right?"
Chenyang smiled and shook his head. "I’m not afraid of losing face. To me, right now, face is the most worthless thing there is.
And I don’t think apologizing would be that humiliating, either. The problem is, I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I apologize?"
An Xiaoqing froze for a moment, then said in a low voice, "You cuckolded him. How is that not wrong?"
Chenyang scoffed. "I did cuckold Gao Tianqi, but when we started, I didn’t know you had a husband.
Later, when I found out and after he showed up, I was the one who suggested we end it. You’re the one who forced me to continue.
To put it bluntly, I put that green hat on his head without even knowing it. You can’t blame me for that."
"You..." An Xiaoqing was suddenly at a loss for words. Although his reasoning felt like a stretch, she had to admit it was the truth.
Just then, Chenyang spoke again. "And even if we take a huge step back and say I really was at fault, Gao Tianqi has already cursed me out and tried to smash a vase on me.
The fact that he didn’t hurt me just means he’s incompetent, but the fact that he tried to get revenge is undeniable.
After that, I clearly could have humiliated him, but not only did I not, I was magnanimous and let him go. From that moment on, we were even.
Since the score is settled, why should I have to apologize to him?!"
