Chapter Index

    12 PM noon.

    Outside Jingcheng International Airport.

    A stretched Rolls-Royce was parked there. Even in Jingcheng where wealthy people were as common as rain it still attracted attention.

    The Car door was open and next to it stood a young man wearing a black shirt.

    This young man was none other than Chen Ju the eldest son of the Chen Family.

    “Big brother who are we picking up? It’s surprising that you came personally. We’ve been waiting for so long and they’re still not here.”

    Inside the Car a young man with his legs crossed put away his Phone and asked Chen Ju at the Car door.

    “Stop wasting my time. I didn’t ask you to come along. If you can’t wait go back!”

    Chen Ju replied without turning his head his tone carrying the sternness of an elder.

    The young man in the Car grinned awkwardly and muttered “Why so fierce? I was just curious and asked a couple of questions. If you don’t want to say just forget it.”

    It was evident that the young man wasn’t much younger than Chen Ju but he was quite afraid of him.

    There was no choice Chen Ju’s authority in the Chen Family ran deep. Not just the younger generation even some elders of the Chen Family didn’t dare to act big in front of Chen Ju.

    “Of course we’re picking up an important person barely half a friend of mine.”

    Chen Ju’s tone softened a bit.

    “An important person?” The young man was stunned. Who could be so important that his big brother would come to greet them personally? Shouldn’t such people already be in Jingcheng?

    It seemed the main reason was probably that the person was friends with his big brother that’s why his big brother came to greet them personally.

    “Big brother we could have driven the Car inside the airport. Why do we have to wait outside?”

    The young man asked again. Inside the airport they could pick up the person immediately. Outside with so many people coming and going it was easy to miss them.

    “Because it attracts too much attention inside. Unnecessary flaunting only invites trouble. The Chen Family isn’t the only one in Jingcheng.”

    Chen Ju replied calmly. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he walked forward quickly because he saw Xu Shaochen and his group coming out.

    The young man in the Car didn’t get out and pouted slightly disapprovingly.

    As a member of the Chen Family what’s wrong with being high-profile?

    He felt his big brother was really too dull. So young yet just like those old men at home.

    “Young Master Xu welcome to Jingcheng.”

    Chen Ju opened his arms looking at Xu Shaochen.

    Xu Shaochen originally just wanted to shake his hand but seeing this he had no choice but to change it to a hug.

    “Thank you for the trouble Young Master Chen coming to pick us up personally.”

    Xu Shaochen said with a smile then pointed to Deng Tianwen and Hou Xiaoyan beside him introducing “Deng Tianwen my friend Hou Xiaoyan an employee of my company.”

    After that he pointed at Xie Wei “I suppose I don’t need to say much about this one.”

    “Miss Xie.” Chen Ju nodded to Xie Wei then his gaze fell on Deng Tianwen “The Deng from the Northwest?”

    “Hello Young Master Chen.” Deng Tianwen put away his playful attitude and became very serious.

    He hadn’t expected that the eldest son of the Chen Family would come to pick up Xu Shaochen. This was quite an honor.

    Hou Xiaoyan glanced at Deng Tianwen in surprise seemingly not expecting that he could be so serious.

    “Please everyone I’ve already arranged a place for dinner to welcome you to the city.”

    Chen Ju led the group towards the Rolls-Royce. Xu Shaochen Xie Wei Deng Tianwen and Hou Xiaoyan got into that Rolls-Royce.

    The other bodyguards rode in several other Cars.

    “Young Master Xu this is my fifth brother Chen Jie.”

    After get ting in the Car Chen Ju introduced pointing at the eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man.

    Chen Jie smiled slightly at Xu Shaochen “Hello Young Master Xu.”

    “Sorry to have kept you waiting.” Xu Shaochen nodded.

    Chen Ju said “We’ve also booked a hotel for you. After dinner you can rest or go out for a walk. In the evening I’ll take you to meet my family’s old master.”

    Chen Ju had already told Xu Shaochen about this so Xu Shaochen wasn’t surprised.

    But Chen Jie widened his eyes looking incredulously at Chen Ju and Xu Shaochen.

    Their family’s old master was once a high and mighty figure. He was over ninety now in his twilight years.

    Usually they as Chen Family descendants couldn’t casually see the old master for fear of disturbing his rest and affecting his mental state.

    But now Xu Shaochen an outsider could go see the old master. How could he not be shocked?

    Soon the Car drove through several main roads and entered an alley then stopped in front of a courtyard house.

    “You entertain Young Master Xu’s companions.”

    After getting out of the Car Chen Ju said to the driver then led Xu Shaochen and the others into the courtyard house.

    “Hello Young Master Chen.”

    Upon entering waitresses wearing cheongsams greeted Chen Ju.

    “Young Master Chen your seats are reserved. This way please everyone.”

    A middle-aged man came out bowing repeatedly to Chen Ju then led the group into a private room.

    “Please wait a moment I’ll tell the kitchen to serve the dishes right away.”

    The middle-aged man said before turning and leaving the room.

    “The food here is authentic Jingcheng cuisine. I hope you’ll enjoy it.”

    Chen Ju took a sip from his Teacup and said to Xu Shaochen and the others.

    “Then I must have a good taste. The Northwest is tens of thousands of miles away from Jingcheng I’ve never had authentic Jingcheng cuisine before.”

    Deng Tianwen chuckled.

    “Click—”

    At this moment the door of the private room was pushed open.

    A cocky young man walked in with several people.

    The moment they saw this young man both Chen Ju and Chen Jie’s faces changed drastically.

    “Oh what’s with that face Young Master Chen? Not welcoming me?”

    “I just happened to come here for a meal. Didn’t expect the last private room to be booked by Young Master Chen. It’s no problem if I join in right?”

    The young man said casually to Chen Ju but his gaze fell on Xu Shaochen.

    “How could that be? Young Master Xiao’s presence is an honor for me. Please have a seat.”

    Chen Ju wore a warm smile as he invited the young man.

    The young man nodded then turned to his lackeys behind him and said “Did you hear that? Young Master Chen is letting you sit.”

    “Thank you Young Master Chen but where should we sit? There aren’t enough seats.”

    “Did you mess up your brain playing with girls? If there aren’t enough seats just make some people give up theirs.”

    They spoke one after another then pointed at Xu Shaochen and Deng Tianwen “You… and you yes you kid what are you looking at? Get out and stand outside.”

    Chen Ju’s face turned extremely grim seeing this. Obviously the other party was deliberately causing trouble.

    But he really didn’t know what he had done to offend Xiao Huang this scoundrel.

    Chen Jie’s face was filled with worry. He was very afraid his big brother would lose his temper on the spot. If things escalated the Chen Family might not fear the Xiao Family.

    But the key was that the Chen Family’s strength couldn’t compare to the Xiao Family!
