The ex-wife of a former CEO regrets resigning to raise her child and retire from public life.

Chapter 180 Challenge

The call was connected.

A faint, muffled sound crossed the long street, instantly lowering the temperature in front of the sink.

The kitchen was so quiet that even the dripping sound of the faucet could be clearly heard.

Su Chen unconsciously held his breath. He had no idea why his crazy brother, who had just recovered his senses, was calling at this time.

There was a lump of ice stuck in my throat, and for a moment I was extremely awkward and didn't know how to break the sticky silence.

The person on the other end of the phone didn't seem to be good at speaking first, and remained silent for a full half minute.

In the end, he seemed to realize that continuing this meaningless stalemate and standoff was too inefficient and too damaging to the dignity of Young Master Su.

A hoarse cough came through the receiver from Su Ang's unique, clear yet arrogant voice.

Then, he slammed it out, word by word, crisply:

"Su Chen... I'll only say one hard rule today."

On the other end of the phone, Su Ang gripped the phone case tightly with his fingers, sitting in the executive chair of his Mercedes-Benz, his eyes gleaming with a fierce glint forged in the crucible of defeat.

"As for you... as for your shameful insistence on staying in 'Human World' as a waiter."

As Su Ang finished speaking, his chest heaved violently, and the corners of his mouth twitched arrogantly once more:

"From this moment on, I, Su Ang, will no longer use any means to interfere."

"Also, after I get back tonight, I'll explain everything to the old man and those old guys on the board. From now on, I'll be in charge of everything concerning you."

"You...you can be a waiter wherever you want!"

"ah?!"

Upon hearing this unexpected series of "compromises," Su Chen, who had been prepared to fight back against an even more brutal challenge, froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded.

His mouth was agape, his eyes filled with disbelief and utter bewilderment, and even his breath seemed to stop for a moment.

what? !

That guy who never treats people like human beings is actually saying he won't interfere?!

And you're even expected to go back and smooth things over with your parents and the board of directors?!

This is damn... Is this really the same Su Ang who always valued the family's reputation above all else and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals?!

Has the sun really set in the west?!

"hehe……"

Just as Su Chen was completely bewildered by this absurd situation and was at a delicate juncture where he was speechless.

Chen Feng, who had been watching from the sidelines with his arms crossed, heard Su Ang's arrogant tone on the other end of the line—a tone that was stiff, hesitant, and yet extremely arrogant.

His chiseled, cold face couldn't hold back any longer, and a strange, amusing smile spread across his face.

He took a small step forward, his somewhat broad frame shifting slightly. He glanced with amusement at the stunned Su Chen, then, facing the cold glow of his phone screen, slowly and deliberately spoke:

"Young Master Su Ang, is that right?"

Chen Feng's smile held an absolute air of dominance as he casually teased, "..."

"I vaguely remember that you wanted to spend 500 million to buy out my shop yesterday morning, wasn't it just to make Su Chen obediently go back with you?"

"How come in such a short time... Young Master, aren't you afraid that having him work under me, a cook, will bring shame to the Su family?"

"boom!!"

On the other end of the phone, Su Ang, who was arrogantly waiting for Su Chen's reply, never expected that Chen Feng, the "person in charge," would suddenly interfere at this critical moment. With a calm tone like an elder teasing a junior, he took over Su Ang's conversation and ruthlessly brought up the old debt of 500 million from yesterday.

His breathing clearly caught in his throat, his face turned a deep liver color, and he almost choked on his own breath.

however.

Two seconds later, Su Ang seemed to come back to his senses.

His arrogant and haughty voice rang out again, penetrating the entire kitchen:

"Chen Feng, is it?! Stop nitpicking at me!!"

Su Ang slammed his hand on the leather executive chair, speaking each word with extreme arrogance:

"Being less skilled than others is no excuse!! I, Su Ang, am not a sore loser!!"

I have to admit, the food you made today... was truly unparalleled!! I couldn't find another dish in the south of the city that could rival it!!

You are indeed an opponent worthy of my respect and my full commitment!

"But listen to me carefully!! Now that that brat Su Chen has taken you as his backer, I've accepted it too."

Previously, I didn't want to go through all that trouble and waste resources in this garbage dump; I just wanted to solve the problem by pushing through in the most efficient way possible.

But I really didn't expect... you, Chen Feng, to be so formidable, your fighting skills so unreasonable."

Su Ang chuckled coldly on the phone, his eyes behind his glasses flashing with sinister ruthlessness:

"Since you can't just sweep through like this, if those worthless scoundrels dare to gossip again, I, Su Ang, have a thousand ways to shut them up!!"

Before Chen Feng and the others could react, Su Ang took a deep breath, and a surge of fervent fighting spirit erupted through the receiver:

"Tonight!! All my setups in the old town will be removed."

"But Chen Feng...you better be on your guard!!"

Don't think I'm scared of you and ran away to save my life!

"I'll go back and relearn and improve, and when I succeed next time..."

"I, Su Ang!! I will definitely come back, and I will use my proudest methods to fairly and squarely... crush you under my feet!!"

This long string of fierce, arrogant, and assertive declarations of withdrawal sent shockwaves through the kitchen sink, causing the fine, white foam in the sink to tremble violently.

"Click!!"

Before Chen Feng and the others could respond, Su Angli slammed the phone down as if fleeing, leaving only a series of piercing dial tones echoing in the white steam.

Su Chen stared blankly at the pure black phone on the marble island, listening to the arrogant and presumptuous yet somewhat awkward declaration just now, and he was both amused and exasperated.

That troublesome madman said he'd come back to cause trouble again, but at least... it seems that the eldest young master of the Su family has returned.

Su Chen was speechless for a moment, then turned his head, his eyes filled with a complex light, and looked at Chen Feng beside him.

In the dimly lit kitchen.

Chen Feng remained seated with a calm expression, listening to the last string of arrogant provocations on the phone, his dark eyes showing not a trace of anger at being provoked.

Instead, at that very moment, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He smiled somewhat calmly and replied slowly to the already disconnected phone:

"Okay. I'll wait."
