If we really offend Chu Xiao and force him to stop selling large quantities of antiques to the Chen family, we'll be in big trouble.

As he had predicted, Chu Xiao was indeed somewhat reluctant.

Previously, he had only thought about using the Chen family to formally auction off these items and turn them into cash.

However, it now seems that the person in charge of the auction from the Chen family is not friendly to him, and there will definitely be friction in the future.

He has no masochistic tendencies; with what he has, where can't he sell it?

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Huo Zishan quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Grandpa, it's lunchtime. How about we eat and chat at the same time?"

Old Master Chen quickly agreed and raised his hand towards Chu Xiao.

"Yes, yes, the food is ready. Why don't we sit down and chat? Let's talk about the authentic painting..."

Chu Xiao waved his hand.

"No need today, I have a lot of things to take care of, so I'll head back now."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Chen quickly gave Huo Zishan a wink.

Huo Zishan quickly caught up with Chu Xiao, explaining on Chen Yuan's behalf: "Mr. Chu, please don't hold it against Second Uncle. He's the only male in the family, but he's not as favored as his older sisters, so he's impatient and eager to impress Grandpa..."

Chu Xiao stopped in his tracks and interrupted her: "I am also the only male in my family, and I have a quick temper, but that is no reason to look down on others."

“If the Chen family really values ​​this cooperation, they should find more professional people. I don’t believe Mr. Chen Yuan can get a good price for what I have.”

"We're all working together, and I hope Miss Huo will convey my message to Mr. Chen."

Huo Zishan reached out and blocked his way.

"Mr. Chu, you're currently investigating evidence of Chu Zhenhe's money laundering, right?"

Hearing this, Chu Xiaowei was taken aback.

"What does Miss Huo mean?"

Huo Zishan smiled faintly: "As far as I know, the person you sent to investigate Chu Zhenhe was hit by a car and is currently on the verge of death. The Chen family has the best doctors who can bring him back to life, as long as you say the word."

Chu Xiao's eyes lit up, but he didn't rush to agree: "Thank you for reminding me, Miss Huo. I will think about it carefully."

After saying this, he hailed a taxi and drove off.

Although the Huo and Chen families are wealthy, these large families have a strong sense of social class and hierarchy. Since they made him unhappy on the very first day of their meeting, he wanted to make them feel anxious.

Huo Zishan frowned slightly as she watched his retreating figure.

Just then, Chen Jiu'er rushed up.

"Sister Zishan, where is Chu Xiao? He just left like that?"

She was about to personally see Chu Xiao off, but the old man stopped her with a look.

Huo Zishan nodded.

"Chu Xiao is really angry this time, so we still need to have Second Uncle apologize to Mr. Chu."

"Apologize? Would Second Uncle ever apologize? Grandpa should teach him a lesson!" Chen Jiu'er was furious.

She disliked her second uncle, Chen Yuan, from a young age. He took advantage of being the only boy in the family to fight for the family property and shares, and bullied her mother and aunt.

This time, they even offended Chu Xiao.

How utterly despicable!

Huo Zishan chuckled and flicked her head, asking, "That's strange. You've never cared about any man like this before. Could you have really fallen for Chu Xiao?"

Chen Jiu'er blushed.

"Nonsense! Who, who likes him?"
