Chapter 731: Troublesome Little Devils
by xennovelZhao Li and Liang Huan naturally wouldn’t tell their fathers about being held at Xu Shaochen’s mercy.
After all they had survived in Xu Shaochen’s hands by selling out their family secrets.
But Zhao Yanshang and Liang Shicheng weren’t fools. How could Zhao Li and Liang Huan possibly kill Kong Biao and Kong Tianjing just for ten percent of the special medicine shares?
After all at that time they hadn’t even received the shares yet. It was a highly uncertain matter.
But they went ahead and did it anyway.
This meant they had no choice but to do it.
The special medicine shares were just a sweetener. Xu Shaochen must have had some leverage over them forcing them to follow his orders.
As for what Xu Shaochen held over them Zhao Yanshang and Liang Shicheng were smart enough not to inquire and pretended not to know.
But one thing was clear.
Liang Huan and Zhao Li were now firmly tied to the same rope as Xu Shaochen.
And coincidentally that ten percent of the special medicine shares were gifted to the two of them.
So if their two families wanted to benefit Liang Huan and Zhao Li definitely couldn’t have any mishaps and might even become family heads.
Therefore the Zhao and Liang families naturally stood on the same side as Xu Shaochen. The two came today to inform Xu Shaochen of this fact.
Xu Shaochen accepted them. Free henchmen shouldn’t be wasted.
…
The next day.
Early in the morning luxury Cars from all directions of Jingcheng were converging on one point.
This point was the Chen Family residence.
Today was Old Master Chen’s ninety-first birthday. Everyone knew this might be the last birthday he’d celebrate.
So today basically all the notable figures in Jingcheng would attend.
Some people with sensitive identities who couldn’t appear at such occasions would send their secretaries or similar representatives to convey their blessings.
At this time the Chen Family residence was already decorated festively looking jubilant and harmonious.
Chen Ju as the Chen Family’s eldest young master was busy running around entertaining guests.
Xu Shaochen brought Xie Wei with him as they got out of the Car and walked towards the Chen Family’s main gate.
“Is that the one Young Master Ling mentioned?”
At the entrance two people responsible for receiving guests saw Xu Shaochen. One of them asked his companion.
The companion took out his Phone and looked: “It’s him. I didn’t think he’d really dare to come.”
Then the two resumed greeting incoming guests discreetly.
“Excuse me could you please show your invitations?”
The two stopped Xu Shaochen and Xie Wei.
Xu Shaochen frowned: “My surname is Xu. Do I need an invitation?”
He had asked Chen Ju about the invitation last night.
But Chen Ju told him he didn’t need an invitation and could just go in directly when the time came.
“Sorry sir it doesn’t matter if your surname is Xu or even if it’s Emperor. Today everyone must have an invitation to enter.”
The two young men said neither humbly nor arrogantly seemingly just following the rules but actually deliberately annoying Xu Shaochen on Chen Ling’s instructions.
Seeing that Xu Shaochen really couldn’t produce an invitation the two felt reassured.
Without an invitation he wasn’t a guest of the Chen Family so naturally they didn’t need to show him any respect.
They had been worried that Chen Ling might be setting them up but now it seemed they had overthought it. How could a high and mighty figure like Young Master Ling trick two small fries like them?
Moreover this Xu person couldn’t even get an invitation to the Chen Family’s birthday banquet. He probably wasn’t anyone important.
This was a perfect opportunity to please Chen Ling. They might soon rise to prominence and make a name for themselves.
“Kid if you don’t have an invitation then get lost. Don’t you know where this is? How dare you come here to freeload.”
“That’s right. It’s really strange. There are still people who aren’t afraid of death these days.”
“Hehe people die for wealth birds die for food…”
Others who saw this scene looked on with mocking gazes. Daring to come to the Chen Family to freeload did they think this was just an ordinary family’s birthday celebration?
“I’ll call your young master.”
Ignoring the noise around him after all there were busybodies everywhere who loved to watch drama.
If he really bothered with them he wouldn’t have time to do anything important every day.
After dialing the number Xu Shaochen frowned because Chen Ju’s Phone was turned off.
“Sir are you going to say our young master’s Phone is busy or turned off? I’ve even prepared the excuse for you. Thoughtful aren’t I?”
The two young men responsible for reception looked at Xu Shaochen arrogantly not hiding the mockery and disdain on their faces.
Xu Shaochen’s expression turned unpleasant.
“Kid take this and scram. Open your dog eyes and look clearly. Is this a place you can come to?”
One of the young men threw four one-yuan coins in front of Xu Shaochen looking at him and speaking in a cold tone.
“You’ve got guts.”
Xu Shaochen calmly uttered three words.
“I not only have guts I also have two sons at home.”
The young man stared at Xu Shaochen without fear. A person who couldn’t produce an invitation and moreover with Chen Ling backing them what did they have to be afraid of?
“Let’s go.”
Xu Shaochen directly turned to leave with Xie Wei. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to attend this birthday banquet but it’s easier to see the king than to deal with his minions.
If he really started arguing with these two little devils at the entrance that would be inviting ridicule and lowering his status.
“Hehe if you’ve got guts don’t leave. Ignorant fool.”
The two young men mockingly said to Xu Shaochen as he was leaving.
Suddenly their expressions changed and they bowed respectfully: “Greetings Young Master.”
Chen Ju didn’t even acknowledge them hurriedly stopping Xu Shaochen and Xie Wei with an apologetic expression saying:
“Young Master Xu I’m terribly sorry. I was busy with the birthday preparations last night my Phone ran out of battery. I just charged it and saw your call. This is entirely my fault.”
He thought Xu Shaochen’s unpleasant expression was because of this matter.
Fortunately he came out in time. If Xu Shaochen had really left he wouldn’t be able to explain it to the old master.
Wow!
Seeing this scene everyone was in an uproar.
Those who were originally watching the commotion looked at each other in astonishment.
They never imagined that the mighty young master of the Chen Family would lower his stance so much in front of this unknown person.
No wonder he didn’t have an invitation. Did someone like him need an invitation?
Thinking back to their mockery just now it was like slapping their own faces. They all felt extremely embarrassed.
The two young men at the entrance responsible for reception were already dumbfounded their minds buzzing their faces gradually turning pale.
“This… how is this possible.”
The two’s teeth were chattering their hands and feet ice-cold their backs already drenched in cold sweat.
Didn’t Young Master Ling say this was just an ordinary person with a bit of money?
A sense of despair rose in their hearts and they cursed Chen Ling vehemently.
Is this what you call someone with just a bit of money?
