him nothing, so he's left just like he did five years ago, abandoning you at your most difficult time. He's gone for good."These words were like a thorn, piercing Qin Xi's heart painfully.“If we are...Chapter 141
In the night, a black Cayenne sped towards the official residence.
The Guan family, the Su family, and two other top-tier aristocratic families were known as the Four Great Families of Jiangzhou. This shows how high the status of the Guan family was in Jiangzhou.
At this moment, the official's mansion is bustling with activity, with countless luxury cars worth millions parked neatly in the driveway.
Today is Guan Jiazhishou Guan Zhengshan's 70th birthday. Although it is past eight o'clock in the evening, the birthday banquet has not yet begun.
The vast estate was aglow with lights. In a grand hall, dozens of large dining tables were filled to capacity.
Every year, Guan Zhengshan's birthday banquet is held grandly, but it is mainly attended by members of the Guan family. Very few people from outside the family are invited, mostly those loyal to the Guan family's power.
At that moment, a black Bentley stopped in the parking lot. Compared to the luxury cars worth millions surrounding it, it seemed out of place.
"Brother Chen, it seems like the official is having some kind of happy event" Ma Chao watched as men and women in fine clothes entered through the door one by one, and said to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen's lips curled up slightly: "Just in time, everyone from the official family is here, so I don't have to go find them one by one."
"Yang Chen"
Yang Chen was just about to enter the manor when a surprised voice suddenly rang out behind him.
A young man in a crimson suit walked over, his eyes filled with surprise once he confirmed it was Yang Chen.
This is the lord's birthday banquet. Besides his own family, only families like my Wang family who are close friends with the lord are invited to attend his birthday banquet.
The young man suddenly looked at Yang Chen with disdain and said, "The Qin family is just the most insignificant small family. You are merely a son-in-law from the Qin family. What qualifications do you have to be in this place"
Hearing the young man mention the Wang family, Yang Chen only then remembered that the young man's name was Wang Jian.
On Yang Chen's first day back at the Qin family courtyard, he ran into him. Zhou Yucui was still trying to match him with Qin Xi, and even now, she had never given up on this idea.
Yang Chen didn't take Wang Jian seriously, but coincidentally, he wanted to provoke Yang Chen.
"No invitation, and you want to attend the official host's birthday banquet"
Wang Jian took a few steps forward and stood in front of Yang Chen, sneering: "Are you running out of food at the Qin family, so you want to come here for free meals and drinks"
"I hate it when people get in my way, especially... dogs."
A sudden burst of cold light shot from Yang Chen's eyes. Facing Yang Chen's gaze, Wang Jian felt a chill run down his spine, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
"You..."
Wang Jian was furious. As the eldest son of the Wang family, his status was extremely noble! He was actually humiliated in public by Yang Chen.
Especially, Yang Chen also snatched the woman he had his eyes on.
In his eyes, Yang Chen was just a small nobody from the lowest strata of society, someone he could crush with a single hand.
But he was just now scared by Yang Chen's one look, this is his shame.
"Yang Chen, why are you being arrogant in front of me I can control your life and death with a single word. Do you believe it or not"
At this moment, at the entrance of the manor, there were still some people who came to attend the birthday banquet. Wang Jian felt that everyone was mocking him, and suddenly glared at Yang Chen with a defiant expression, sneeringly rebuking him.
Repeated provocations have finally ignited Yang Chen's anger. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a glimmer of killing intent flashed in his deep pupils.
Seeing Yang Chen remained silent, Wang Jian thought he was scared. He directly extended his right index finger and sneered: "You, now kneel down and apologize. Maybe I'll let you off the hook. Otherwise, I will make you know the severity of offending me!"
Yang Chen's eyes held a hint of amusement as he asked with a smile, "How serious are the consequences"
Wang Jian was arrogant and continued, "The Wang family is now on good terms with the imperial court. In all of Jiangzhou, who dares to offend the Wang family I advise you to obediently follow what I say and not be quick with your words."
"Oh The Wang family is so impressive"
Yang Chen said jokingly, "But I don't believe what you say. What can I do Why don't you have your Wang family head come and tell me"
As soon as he uttered those words, a deathly silence fell upon the surroundings.leaving Yang Chen standing alone, smiling foolishly: "Xiaoxiao seems to have exposed something."Yang Chen first sent Xiaoxiao to kindergarten, then sent Qin Xi to Sanyi Group before leaving alone, hum...
