"What are you laughing at?" Meng Zhuqing's face turned cold as she questioned.
The man sneered, "What is he even called? A bankrupt who can't be a doctor, isn't a good boss? How can someone like him be worthy of Xiao Qing? It's a joke!"
Chen Mo put down the gift and retorted, "Then what kind of person would be worthy of Zhu Qing?"
The man smirked, "Naturally, not a nouveau riche like you. Someone like you, who buys a piece of land and makes a little money, doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. What happiness can you bring to Xiao Qing?"
"So, you mean you can bring happiness to Zhu Qing?" Chen Mo countered.
The man sneered, "At least, I'm better than you."
He then said proudly, "I started in business at fifteen, and to this day, my average annual net profit reaches two billion."
"Kid, do you know how much two billion is?"
The man looked at Chen Mo with a hint of disdain.
Chen Mo smiled calmly, "Oh? Is that so? Two billion is indeed a lot in the eyes of people like you."
The man's lips curved upwards, but then he suddenly realized that Chen Mo's words seemed to carry another meaning.
He asked, "Does it not seem like much in your eyes?"
Before Chen Mo could speak, Meng Zhuqing suddenly said, "Do you know how much land Chen Mo bought a while ago?"
"Tens of millions?" the man asked disdainfully.
"Sixty billion," Meng Zhuqing said lightly.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The man choked on his words, his face filled with disbelief.
He then said coldly, "Xiao Qing, when did you learn to lie? Sixty billion, can someone like him afford that?"
The man believed that a boss who could become a doctor must have failed in his business and gone to work in a hospital.
How could he possibly buy a piece of land worth sixty billion? It was simply ridiculous.
"If you don't believe me, you can check Hengchang Real Estate," Meng Zhuqing replied.
"Hengchang Real Estate?" The man's expression darkened slightly.
He had indeed heard of this rapidly rising real estate company.
However, he never expected that the boss of Hengchang Real Estate would be such a young man.
"Nephew, this young Chen is indeed the boss of Hengchang Real Estate. I can vouch for that," Meng Zhuqing's father also said at this moment.
Upon hearing this, the man's face became even more unsightly.
To act arrogant in front of a magnate who spent sixty billion on land was utterly humiliating.
"Is being rich everything? In this era, it's not just about money, but also about connections."
"I think, without Uncle Meng backing you, you would be nothing, wouldn't you?"
The man believed that Chen Mo was backed by the Meng family.
Otherwise, how could he have never heard of Chen Mo's name before?
"Connections? If you leave your parents, you're probably just a good-for-nothing," Chen Mo said mockingly.
The man's face darkened, "At least I use my own family's influence, unlike you, a kept man. What right do you have to lecture me?"
"Enough!"
Suddenly, the other middle-aged man sitting on the chair, who had been silent, spoke up and reprimanded.
The man then shut his mouth, but his gaze at Chen Mo remained full of anger.
Chen Mo didn't care, acting as if he hadn't seen it, and his gaze fell on the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at Chen Mo, "Young man, being young and spirited is good, but there should be a limit. Otherwise, you'll bring trouble upon yourself."
"Are you threatening me?" Chen Mo asked.
The middle-aged man sneered, "Heh, you can think of it that way."
"Then I'll tell you, don't provoke me, or the consequences will be severe," Chen Mo said, standing with his hands behind his back, looking down at the middle-aged man with disdain.
"Hahaha!"
"Brother Meng, you've really found a good son-in-law."
With his laughter, the middle-aged man stood up and turned to leave.
"Brother Xu," Meng Jingbai stood up.
Xu Yushan waved his hand, "No need. Brother Meng, just take good care of your son-in-law."
After speaking, Xu Yushan led everyone away.
"Stop," however, at this moment, Chen Mo's voice suddenly rang out.
Xu Yushan and the others paused.
They turned to look at Chen Mo, "Kid, do you need something?"
Chen Mo calmly pointed at Xu Hao beside Xu Yushan, "Make him apologize to me."
Boom!
As soon as Chen Mo's voice fell, everyone present was stunned, looking at Chen Mo in astonishment.
Xu Hao also smiled, "Kid, what did you say? You want me to apologize to you?"
Chen Mo nodded, "That's right. From the moment I arrived, you've been targeting me. Even a clay figurine has some spirit, let alone me."
"Kid, who the hell gave you the courage to ask me to apologize!" Xu Hao was also enraged.
This was the first time he had encountered someone so arrogant in front of him.
He took a step forward and punched Chen Mo in the face.
Seeing this, Chen Mo didn't dodge, his expression calm.
"Seeking death!"
Seeing Chen Mo not dodge, a hint of mockery appeared on his lips.
A hidden force was concealed within his fist.
If this punch landed on Chen Mo's face, he would be dead or severely injured and become an idiot.
Xu Yushan and the others also curved their lips upwards; they wanted this boastful kid to be punished.
"Be careful!"
Seeing this, Meng Zhuqing cried out in alarm.
She hadn't expected Xu Hao to suddenly make a move!
For a moment, Meng Zhuqing clenched her delicate fists.
At this moment.
Chen Mo moved.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud.
Chen Mo raised his leg and kicked directly into Xu Hao's abdomen.
Instantly, Xu Hao's eyes widened.
He felt as if he had been hit by a speeding car, his body flying out uncontrollably.
"Aow!"
With a scream, Xu Hao slammed heavily onto the ground.
"Hao'er!"
Seeing this, Xu Yushan rushed forward and helped Xu Hao up.
Xu Hao's face was flushed red, and he clutched his abdomen tightly, the intense pain almost making him faint.
"You, you are a martial artist?" Xu Yushan looked at Chen Mo in surprise.
His son was a master of hidden force, yet he was defeated by Chen Mo with a single punch. This made Xu Yushan certain that Chen Mo was a martial artist!
No wonder Meng Jingbai would arrange for his daughter to be with Chen Mo.
Meng Jingbai's expression also turned slightly grim, "Brother Xu, what is the meaning of this?"
Xu Yushan slowly stood up, his gaze fixed on Chen Mo.
Suddenly, Xu Yushan threw a punch towards Chen Mo's chest.
"You injured my son, and today, I will make you pay the price!"
This sudden turn of events stunned Meng Jingbai. He wanted to intervene, but it was too late.
Xu Yushan's punch had already landed on Chen Mo's chest!
