Zhao Wuyan was taken aback. How did the little brat know my background? Did Weimin tell him?
"There's nothing wrong with it. I didn't understand your current identity. It was my overconfidence that led me to be unaware of your current status."
Xu Chen nodded, and as more and more people gathered downstairs, he was taken aback. Zhao Wuyan then spoke.
"What do you think of our Weimin?" Now that she knew Xu Chen's identity, she decided to ask this question. Becoming a martial artist, not to mention anything else, would prolong life, and it was even said that one could live for hundreds of years. Zhao Wuyan couldn't possibly not plan for her descendants.
"Let's strengthen our physical training," Xu Chen said calmly.
"Thank you," Zhao Wuyan said gently. She understood that what she truly wanted to say was now impossible to say. Coercion, bribery, and gentle persuasion were all useless. She had to devise a new plan. Previously, she and her husband, upon hearing that their daughter liked the boy in front of them at the same school, had only sent someone to Peking University once to learn about the "student" Xu Chen and assumed that was all there was to it.
"It was still a miscalculation," Zhao Wuyan thought to herself.
"Doesn't Aunt Zhao know about the Martial Arts Special Forces? Ever since I brought down the Sun family, this matter has become more or less public knowledge among the upper echelons of Beijing, hasn't it?"
"The Sun family? Ruined them? You did it? Didn't the Sun couple commit suicide?"
Xu Chen remained silent. Then, Zhao Wuyan couldn't control herself and picked up the fruit knife on the table. She was expressionless, but she was terrified inside. There were only the two of them here, and the only person who could make her react like this was probably the boy in front of her.
Xu Chen dispelled his magic, and Zhao Wuyan quickly threw away the fruit knife and gasped for breath.
"So far, I have not developed any bad feelings towards you, Aunt Zhao. I understand your original intention in speaking to me on behalf of your daughter. Let's just drop this matter. If it doesn't work out with me, don't bother Lili."
"You know about this too?" Zhao Wuyan was full of surprise. She was sure she hadn't said it out loud yet. "Could it be Weimin? No, impossible. Weimin said long ago that he wouldn't get involved in his cousin's affairs. He wouldn't lie to me." Zhao Wuyan thought to herself.
After Xiaobai thoroughly investigated the woman's background online, including her family, relatives, and even WeChat chat history, Xu Chen finally understood why Zhao Wuyan wanted to see him. What Xiaobai focused on sending to Xu Chen's phone was the chat history between the Zhong sisters. "Zhong Yi, I didn't expect that my performance at the beginning of the semester would actually attract some romantic attention."
"Okay, I understand. To be honest, the methods you displayed today were terrifying. If I didn't know you were from there, I would have thought I was sitting in front of an alien."
"Thank you for the compliment, Aunt Zhao. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
"Have fun, I'll cover your expenses for today."
"Thanks."
Zhao Weimin downstairs couldn't wait any longer. When he saw Xu Chen come down, he quickly came up to greet him. He didn't want to get involved in Zhong Yi and Xu Chen's affairs, so he didn't pay attention to how Xu Chen's conversation with his aunt was going. As soon as he came up, he said, "Hurry up, we've been waiting for you."
Xu Chen looked around the room with a puzzled expression, then turned to Zhao Weimin and asked, "Is it appropriate for so many people to come today?"
“That’s appropriate. The official name is the Investment and Development Coordination Council. Brother Chen, hurry up and say a few words. Today, the brothers have packaged you as a Wall Street financial tycoon who has returned from the Ugly Country.”
"Nonsense, I don't know anything about finance. Just enjoy your food and drinks."
The two had just finished chatting when Xiao Qin drove his Lamborghini into the courtyard. After parking, Qin Junlin's first action was to look for Xu Chen. Upon seeing his boss, Qin Junlin intended to greet him, but Xu Chen stopped him with a look. He immediately understood Xu Chen's intention and didn't pay any more attention to him.
Zhao Weimin saw that Xu Chen had no intention of showing himself up, but instead sat aside drinking red wine, without introducing him to the others. The remaining four brothers, however, were very anxious.
"You fatso, I told you not to be so stingy and to make a bigger show of things. The few of us here are enough, but you insisted on creating a pretext to bring in a bunch of suckers to split the costs. Now look what's happened, Boss Xu doesn't like to be in the spotlight. And the few of us going over would be too conspicuous, and might upset Boss Xu."
"Bullshit, I wouldn't care about such a small amount of money. I just wanted to give Boss Xu a boost in status."
At this point, Zhao Weimin stopped their verbal conflict.
"Alright, alright, let's take good care of this group of people first. We'll announce the end of the meal after lunch, and then we can have a private get-together. You'll definitely have a chance to express your gratitude today."
Xu Chen didn't pay attention to the conversation of these young masters, and just ate his cake and drank his red wine, quite at ease.
"Hey kid over there, how did you get in?" Su Hua was overjoyed today. His wealthy girlfriend had finally agreed to take him to this high-end party. Everything here was exactly as he'd imagined: the venue was extremely luxurious, and the attendees included many rich young men and women. Some girls even expressed a desire to chat with him more. "The only useful thing my useless parents gave me is this face," he muttered, glancing at his phone. While reminiscing, his peripheral vision caught sight of an ordinary-looking young man drinking alone, just like himself. He then asked the question.
Xu Chen didn't know Su Hua was calling him, so he ignored him and watched the other people chatting with each other, talking about big deals worth hundreds of millions. Xu Chen was intrigued and wanted to listen carefully to the business acumen of the wealthy people when someone patted his shoulder and a very handsome young man appeared behind him.
