Seeing this, his many friends didn't stop him. Siao Jia was getting what she deserved. If Siao Jia had treated them the same way, they would have been even more ruthless than Xu Ke.

But Siao Fan wouldn't stand for it.

"Xu Ke, you fucking bastard!" Siao Fan roared and charged forward.

If his sister's face is ruined, who's going to earn his bride price?

Xu Ke watched as Siao Fan's fist rapidly grew larger in his vision, and he easily dodged it. Unable to control his momentum, Siao Fan shot past Xu Ke and began to fall. His face turned pale with fear. Just then, Xu Ke grabbed him by the back.

Siao Fan instinctively started to say, "Than—"

But before he could finish, he heard Xu Ke's voice, seemingly crawling up from the depths of hell. "I haven't forgotten about that kick of yours."

A powerful sense of foreboding washed over Siao Fan.

Xu Ke hoisted him into the air, then let go. As Siao Fan fell, Xu Ke raised his leg and stomped down hard.

CRUNCH!

"Ahhhhh!" Siao Fan howled in agony.

Searing pain shot through his back as his face slammed into the ground. Siao Fan had truly eaten dirt.

When her daughter was in trouble, Chang Xiujuan did nothing. But seeing her treasured son being beaten, Chang Xiujuan exploded.

"I'll kill you!" Chang Xiujuan shrieked, flailing wildly as she lunged at him.

"I don't hit my elders," Xu Ke said calmly.

Chang Xiujuan was overjoyed. What an idiot. Her attack intensified.

"Too bad you're not one!" Xu Ke shook his head.

Chang Xiujuan was dumbfounded.

SLAP.

A single backhand sent her sprawling to the floor, her face immediately beginning to swell.

Yang Qing pointed at Xu Ke, her expression grim. "You're such an ingrate! Even if Siao Jia cheated, you can't treat them like this!"

The onlookers couldn't help but sneer, "Yang Qing, who knew you and Siao Jia were both so shameless!"

At that moment, Xu Ke turned, grabbed a broom from beside a pillar, and faced Yang Qing. "How could I be an ingrate? My memory is excellent. I remember telling you that if you ever came to harass me again, I'd chase you off with a broom."

Yang Qing panicked. "Y-You, what are you doing?"

"Get the fuck out!" Xu Ke roared, striking Yang Qing hard with the broom.

"Ah! Xu Ke, you... you bastard!" Yang Qing cried out, retreating out the door as she endured several painful blows.

In the next moment, Siao Fan and his mother were also swept out of the new apartment.

Now it was Siao Jia's turn. She glared at Xu Ke. "You have no right to drive me out! This is my house, and my name is on it!"

Triumph gleamed in her eyes. So what if I cheated? What can you do? My name is on the deed to this house!

Chang Xiujuan regained her bravado. "That's right! Half of this house belongs to Siao Jia!"

The onlookers and Xu Ke's parents trembled with anger. They were utterly shameless!

But Xu Ke just laughed. "Are you sure you own half of this house?"

Hearing Xu Ke's mockery, Siao Jia was taken aback.

Xu Ke took out another piece of paper. This piece of evidence was the very reason he'd been delayed at his rented apartment.

"This is a copy of the infidelity agreement you forced me to sign. Let me read it to you. 'Huating Community, Block A, Room 403, to be used for the shared marital life of Xu Ke and Siao Jia. Should Xu Ke commit infidelity, the property rights of this house shall transfer in full to Siao Jia.'"

Siao Jia scoffed. "That doesn't prove anything." This was meant to stop Xu Ke from cheating, not me! Does he really think he can take back the half of the house that's mine? Dream on!

Yang Qing sneered, "A drowning man will clutch at any straw."

Chang Xiujuan and Siao Fan even started to walk back inside.

"Who says it can't?" Xu Ke retorted. "The bank statements and the contract prove I paid for this house in full. The agreement proves it was a gift to you for the purpose of our marriage. According to the law, that makes it a conditional gift.

"Now that the condition—our marriage—is no longer being met, I can legally revoke the gift.

"To put it simply, this house has absolutely nothing to do with you.

"Now get the hell out."

Siao Jia's face went deathly pale as Xu Ke's broom came swinging toward her. She tried to dodge but was still viciously struck several times.

She scrambled backward, screaming venomously, "Xu Ke, you'll regret this! I swear I'll pay you back for everything!"

She swore she would get her revenge on Xu Ke. She would make him suffer the same pain she had endured today!

Xu Ke sneered. "I'll be waiting."

He then struck Siao Jia again with the broom, causing her to cry out in pain repeatedly.

Seeing this, the crowd felt their anger dissipate. It was a truly satisfying sight.

All four of them were swept out the door!

Chang Xiujuan roared, "You'll be struck by lightning! You'll die a horrible death!"

Her only answer was the violent slam of the door.

SLAM!

The heavy sound was so loud it felt like it had deafened the four of them. They looked at each other, covered in dust from the broom and utterly disheveled. Siao Fan's back throbbed with sharp pain, and Chang Xiujuan's cheek was red and swollen. But Siao Jia had it the worst; both of her cheeks bore distinct, red palm prints.

...

Xu Ke walked into the living room, where an awkward silence hung in the air. His friends were incredibly guilty and began to apologize one after another.

"Sorry, Xu Ke!"

"We're so sorry. We were wrong. We weren't thinking clearly."

"Causing all this trouble in the middle of the night... we were being so thoughtless, we didn't stop to think..."

Seeing this, Xu Ke waved his hand. "It's okay."

Although he was furious that they had stormed in without understanding the situation and caused his mother's illness to flare up, they were still his classmates. He couldn't take things too far.

Xu Ke changed the subject. "By the way, everyone, let me clarify something. It's true that I have ten million in my account, but it's not my money. My boss entrusted it to me. I'm not at liberty to discuss its purpose.

"I wasn't deliberately avoiding paying you back. I've just been facing some real difficulties lately. I'm truly sorry."

It dawned on the crowd. "We understand, we understand!"

After that, they exchanged a few more pleasantries and left with their tails between their legs.

...

After closing the door behind them, Xu Ke breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad he'd had the foresight to add that specific clause to the agreement. Siao Jia had never expected that the contract intended to restrict Xu Ke would ultimately be her own downfall. Otherwise, even if Xu Ke could prove he wasn't the one who had cheated, he wouldn't have been able to stop Siao Jia from taking half the house.

Just then, his father spoke. "Xiao Ke, I need to apologize to you."
