Guan Hanliu was also furious!
They were invited to dinner by Prince Xiaoyao, which was supposed to be a happy occasion!
But!
The moment they saw Chen Nan!
All the good mood of the couple was ruined!
In their eyes, Chen Nan was a jinx, a bad omen!
"Father, Mother, why can't Brother Chen appear here?" Yu Fei said with displeasure, speaking up for Chen Nan!
"Do you know that tonight..."
She was about to say that Chen Nan was the protagonist of tonight's event!
But Guan Hanliu directly interrupted her: "I understand, Chen Nan is a waiter from Piaoxiang Pavilion, right?"
"Indeed!" Yu Mingzhi also said, "His clothes are not much different from the white robes worn by the waiters of Piaoxiang Pavilion!"
Yu Fei looked incredulous!
Although they were both white robes, the quality was worlds apart!
The clothes Chen Nan was wearing were made of the finest thousand-year-old silkworm silk!
It is said that spring silkworms spin until they die!
Silkworms have a short lifespan!
Clothes made of thousand-year-old silkworm silk were definitely very expensive!
"Chen Nan, I'm telling you, Prince Xiaoyao is treating us to dinner tonight!" Guan Hanliu said arrogantly to Chen Nan, "Do you know who Prince Xiaoyao is?"
"He is the most favored son of the King of Wu!"
"He is the only prince among the nineteen princes!"
"Furthermore, Prince Xiaoyao fancies our Fei Fei and even sent a betrothal gift some time ago!"
"So, if you don't want to die!"
"Give up any thoughts of our Fei Fei sooner rather than later!"
"Let's go, don't bother with this ant!" With that, she forcibly pulled Yu Fei towards Piaoxiang Pavilion!
"You go in first, I'll wait for the Nineteenth Prince here!" Chen Nan transmitted to Yu Fei!
He was friends with Wu Sheng!
Naturally, he had to attend the banquet with Wu Sheng!
It was a matter of courtesy!
Just as Yu Fei and her family of three entered!
A luxurious carriage slowly arrived!
Then Wu Sheng walked out of the carriage holding a golden long sword!
Although the sword was not unsheathed!
Chen Nan could feel a cold chill!
This chill made him very uncomfortable!
"It's fine that you're here for the banquet, but why are you bringing the Dragon Slaying Sword?" Chen Nan rolled his eyes!
He had heard Wu Sheng mention it last time they ate.
The heirloom of the Wu Kingdom was called the Dragon Slaying Sword!
This sword had been passed down for countless years!
Even the King of Wu found it difficult to draw!
But this guy could easily draw it!
Its grade had long surpassed immortal artifacts, and its power was terrifying!
It was said that this sword had indeed slain a dragon!
Chen Nan didn't know if it had slain a dragon!
But it had chopped the King of Wu, that was true...
Wu Sheng carried the Dragon Slaying Sword on his shoulder with one hand and grinned, "That guy Lao San is very insidious, I have to guard against him having ill intentions!"
"If he has any ideas, we'll take him down!"
"Beat him to death!"
Chen Nan's mouth twitched!
Kinship was truly worthless in the face of royalty!
"Let's go, let's attend the banquet!" Wu Sheng carried his sword and swaggered into Piaoxiang Pavilion!
Although Piaoxiang Pavilion did not allow weapons to be carried!
But upon seeing Wu Sheng walk in with his sword!
The staff all chose to turn a blind eye, and even greeted him respectfully!
------
"Your humble servant Yu Mingzhi, greets Your Highness!"
On the other side!
Yu Mingzhi and his family of three also saw Prince Xiaoyao, Wu Di!
At this moment, he was holding a white cat!
The white cat was plump, and its white fur was very soft!
Especially its pair of purple eyes, which sent a chill down one's spine!
The moment Yu Mingzhi bowed!
The white cat in Wu Di's arms quietly landed on his shoulder. Wu Di even warmly extended his hand to help Yu Mingzhi up, "Uncle Yu, there's no need for such formality!"
Prince Xiaoyao called him Uncle Yu?
Yu Mingzhi felt dizzy!
This was definitely the most glorious moment of his life!
Guan Hanliu also felt flattered!
Although the Yu family was a not small family!
They had never dreamed of receiving respect from Prince Xiaoyao!
"Your Highness, may I be so bold as to ask if the betrothal gift sent some time ago was sent by you?" Compared to her husband's nervousness, Guan Hanliu was more eager to know if Prince Xiaoyao was their future son-in-law!
"Mother, don't talk nonsense!" Yu Fei said coldly!
Wu Di looked at Yu Fei and did not hide his admiration: "Miss Yu is stunningly beautiful and exceptionally elegant, I estimate that no one can resist her charm!"
"However, Miss Yu has already found her true love!"
"Even if I wanted to pursue her, it would likely be in vain!"
"As for the betrothal gift sent some time ago... it was not sent by this junior!"
Hearing this!
A sense of disappointment inexplicably arose in the couple's hearts!
They had thought that Wu Di fancied Yu Fei!
They had thought they could climb onto Prince Xiaoyao and become relatives of the royal family!
But the result made them very disappointed!
Wu Di seemed to see through the couple's thoughts and smiled, "Uncle Yu, although the betrothal gift sent some time ago was not sent by me, I do know the identity of that person!"
"Which young master is it?" Yu Mingzhi's eyes lit up with excitement again!
In his opinion!
Since Wu Di knew the other party's identity, he must not be an ordinary person!
Wu Di smiled and said, "The other party is a bit of a loner, without a very powerful background."
Yu Mingzhi and his wife felt disappointed once again!
"However, that person possesses wealth that can rival a nation!" Wu Di's voice made the couple as excited as if they had been injected with stimulants! "His current wealth is far greater than the treasury of our Wu Kingdom!"
"Your Highness, who exactly is the person you are talking about? Can someone truly be wealthy enough to rival a nation?" Yu Mingzhi felt his heart about to leap out of his throat!
After returning to Zhongzhou City, he had also heard about the events that had transpired in the city!
For example, the founder of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce, Liu Sifang, suddenly died!
There was a change in the business world!
Guan Hanliu's head also buzzed!
All along, "wealth that can rival a nation" had only been a figure of speech!
Even the former richest man, Liu Sifang, though wealthy, could not match the Wu Kingdom's treasury!
And now, Prince Xiaoyao said that the other person's wealth was more than that in the national treasury!
How could they not be shocked by this?
Wu Di smiled and said, "As for who that person is... you all actually know him, and he will be here soon."
Changing the subject!
Wu Di said, "Uncle Yu, I invited you here this time, firstly to meet and make friends!"
"Secondly, I have something I'd like to ask for your help with!"
Yu Mingzhi was flattered and quickly said, "Your Highness, please speak freely. As long as it's something this humble servant can help you with, I wouldn't hesitate even if it meant going through fire and water!"
Wu Di: "You should know that the Sifang Chamber of Commerce is my property, right?"
Yu Mingzhi nodded!
It was no secret that the Sifang Chamber of Commerce was backed by Prince Xiaoyao!
Wu Di's demeanor was very low: "Now that Liu Sifang is dead, the Sifang Chamber of Commerce is leaderless. I would like to invite you to become the new president of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce!"
Yu Mingzhi's scalp tingled, but he was not overwhelmed by this immense joy!
He suppressed his inner unease and asked, "Your Highness, why did you choose me?"
"What qualifications do I have to be the president of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce?"
Wu Di smiled and said, "Your abilities are indeed not outstanding!"
"But your son-in-law's abilities are excellent!"
"As long as he is here!"
"You will have the qualifications to become the president of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce!"
Yu Mingzhi swallowed hard: "But I don't know who my son-in-law is at all!"
Wu Di looked behind Yu Mingzhi, a faint smile appearing on his face: "He's here!"
