Chapter 229
At this moment, a young man in his mid twenties walked out from the three- storey building on the
side of the road. He had bleached hair and a tattoo of a dragon''s head on his neck.
"Xenia, you are back!" The young man walked towards the motorbike with a smile and greeted her
warmly. But then he spotted Fade Chen, who was the driver, and his face fell. "Who are you? Why
are you driving Xenia''s motorbike? What''s your rtionship to her?"
Just as Fade was about to exin, Xenia, who was sitting at the back, looked annoyed and said in
a cold voice, "Brett, this is none of your business. Just leave!"
The young man called Brett, saw that Xenia Xu was sping Fade on the waist with both hands.
Her body seemed to be pressing against Fade''s as well. Immediately his eyes turned red and he
raised his voice. He bellowed, "This is my business! You are my wife, how can you bring another
man home."
Xenia yelled at him when she heard this, "Brett, you are spouting nonsense. We have no such
rtionship. Please leave."
"I won''t go! If you don''t give me a clear exnation regarding this hooligan,both of you won''t be
allowed to leave." Brett retorted. He started stretching his hands towards Fade, attempting to drag
him out from the motorbike.

Fademanded with an icy tone, "Leave us now!"
Then he pushed Brett away. The huge impact caused Brett to falter and take a few steps back. He
teetered, stumbled and fell down in the mud, with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"Just ignore him, Dr. Chen. Let''s go home!" Xenia said.
After that, Fade continued to drive towards Xenia''s home.ln a short time, they arrived.
Xenia''s mother, a woman in her forties, was at the door. She had heard themotion outside and
came out to take a look. Seeing Xenia sping Fade on the motorbike, she felt surprised.
Xenia noticed her mother''s expression and quickly came to her senses. She released Fade''s waist
and jumped down from the motorbike. She introduced him to her mother, "Mother, this is Fade
Chen, Dr. Chen. He is my colleague."
"Dr. Chen?" her mother was shocked, and then she spoke in excitement, "Is it the Dr. Chen that you
mention quite frequently and who helped you a lot?"
"Yes, he is the one." Xenia nodded.
Fade greeted her politely, "Nice to meet you, Auntie."
"Nice to meet you, Dr. Chen. Thank you for taking care of Xenia in thepany. Thank you so
much." Her mother held Fade''s hand and she was clearly moved, gratitude etched on her face.
At this moment, Brett, who had gotten up, rushed over angrily and shouted at Fade, "You stupid
idiot, how dare you hit me, I''ll kill you."
As Brett rushed over, Xenia''s mother had a darkened expression on her face. She immediately
asked Xenia to bring Fade into the house.
But Fade looked coldly at him and strode forward to Brett. He grabbed Brett by the neck with one
hand and lifted him up. He shouted coldly, "Did you say you want to kill me?"
Brett felt an unstoppable force surging towards him. His throat was being stifled and strangled little
by little, and breathing was starting to be difficult. He swung his hands and feet in panic,
struggling, and said, "Let me go, let me go!"
Fade did not let him go, but he continued to use force, which caused Brett''s cheeks to gradually turn
red and even purple .
Brett started to feel a sense of terror and dread. He could not breath, and it seemed like he was
weakening. As the air was being squeezed out of his lungs bit by bit, he felt his life sh before him.
The shadow of death seemed to envelope him, and fear overcame him. He had never experienced
such a traumatic encounter in his life.
"I, let go of me. I won''t dare, I..." Brett spoke with tremendous difficulty.
Fade snorted and threw Brett down, who was choking and out of breath. He bellowed, "Leave now!"
Brett fell to the ground, massaging his neck and gasping for breath. He quickly scampered away,
sprinting and crawling. He didn''t dare remain any longer in the presence of Fade.
After dealing with Brett, Fade turned around and said with a smile, "Auntie, Xenia, let''s go in then!"
Xenia''s mother could not help but look anxious after witnessing this chain of events. She said,
"Brett, he..."
Xenia said, "Mother, let''s discuss this further inside."
The three of them proceeded to enter the house. Xenia''s mother quickly served tea to Fade,
treating him like a special guest.
He chatted with the both of them and finally got a clearer idea about that Brett Han and who he was.
Brett''s family had opened a quarry in town, and they made profits of more than a million each year.
They were the richest family in the vige. Therefore, since young, Brett had a silver spoon in his
mouth and he lead a charmed life. He had be friends with many of the gangsters in town, and
he had a dubious reputation around the area.
It was often difficult to avoid such people,and this was the case for Xenia and her family as well.
Around half a year ago, Xenia had graduated from university and returned home. Brett noticed
unexpectedly, that this averagelooking girl had transformed into a stunning beauty after her studies
there.
He became interested in her and he started to pursue Xenia. Of course, Xenia did not agree to it.
After refusing him, she immediately went to work in the city and never saw him again.
She had assumed that this would no longer be an issue since it was almost half a year ago. But
Xenia did not expect that Brett would persist in his pursuit. In the period of time while she was away,
he continued to harass her mother, bringing up the idea of an engagement between them.
Xenia''s mother was aware of her daughter''s feelings, so she didn''t consent. However, Brett started
spreading rumors that Xenia was his girlfriend and that they were engaged. He even bragged in
front of his hooligan friends that he had slept with Xenia.
Due to all these gossip and lies that he was spewing, Xenia realized upon her return that all the
vigers seemed to have a very different view of her.
Xenia was furious when she became aware of this situation. Her immediate impulse was to discuss
this matter with the Han family and resolve this issue. But her mother was worried on behalf of
Xenia, as she knew that offending the Han family was a bad idea. Therefore she did not allow Xenia
to go to them.
Brett then became even more conceited and audacious. He kept boasting to many people regarding
the confirmation of their marriage and that the ceremony would take ce during the new year. He
even alluded to their consummation and their intimate rtionship.
Amidst such rumors, Xenia had brought Fade back to the vige. He was another young man in the
picture, and they seemed close. This caused Brett to feel angry and humiliated, therefore he wanted
to cause some trouble for Fade.
Realizing that Xenia and her mother were anxious and upset over this matter, Fade thumped his
chest. He said, "Auntie, don''t be upset, I will assist you in this matter. In regards to Brett, I will find a
solution to deal with him, so that he does not continue with his nderous remarks."
Xenia''s eyes lit up instantly, and she looked gratefully at Fade.
However, her mother was a little worried that Fade might resort to violence or try some
underhanded tactics. After all, he had just forcefully grabbed Brett on the neck and tried to choke
him, causing her to feel frightened. "Doctor Chen, that Brett is not a good person. I know you mean
well, but please don''t be impulsive!"
Fade noticed that Xenia''s mother was anxious, so he said with a smile, "Auntie, no worries. I won''t
take any action without prior consideration. We can resolve this issue in other ways."
"Yes, it''s better not to resort to violence.That would be ideal." Xenia''s mother nodded a few times in
agreement.
