Chapter 422 Ask Him If He Dares
Chen Xuan smiled, "Someone invited me."
"Invited you?"
Zhen Xiaoqiong was stunned. She didn't believe it at all. She had originally planned to humiliate Chen Xuan, but thinking about what happened at the Su family today, she held her tongue.
"Xiaoqiong, are you alright?"
Young Master Qian asked with concern.
"Young Master Qian, I'm fine." Zhen Xiaoqiong waved her hand.
"That's good." Young Master Qian breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Chen Xuan and frowned, asking, "Miss Zhen, do you know this person?"
"Yes, I do."
A hint of cunning flashed in Zhen Xiaoqiong's eyes. She said, "Look, this is the live-in son-in-law of my cousin that you were talking about."
"What? It's him?"
Young Master Qian's eyes widened instantly.
Young Master Yan stared at Chen Xuan, his gaze chilling, his eyes filled with hostility.
Others also stared at Chen Xuan as if he were a giant panda, sizing him up. After a long while, they couldn't see anything extraordinary about him.
They had to lament what kind of good luck this guy had to become the Su family's live-in son-in-law.
Young Master Yan, who had become famous overnight, looked at Chen Xuan's cheap clothes, while he himself was dressed in brand-name attire. He clenched his fists in indignation.
Chen Xuan's gaze swept over the crowd, lingering on Young Master Yan for a few seconds. He didn't think he had offended this guy, so why the killing intent?
"If nothing else, I'll go look around first."
Chen Xuan knew he wasn't in the same circle as them and turned to walk away.
Young Master Qian's mind raced. He knew that Young Master Yan hated Chen Xuan the most. If he could help Young Master Yan step on this ignorant fellow, Young Master Yan would surely trust him more, which would be of greater benefit to the Qian family.
He took a step forward, blocking Chen Xuan's path, "Brother Chen Xuan, right? Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Why don't we sit together?"
Chen Xuan shook his head, "Sorry, I'm not interested."
Zhen Xiaoqiong was a little displeased. Chen Xuan's refusal to Young Master Qian was like slapping her in the face. She put her hands on her hips and reprimanded, "Hey, hey, you're not going to refuse even this bit of face, are you? In the provincial capital, connections are everything. If you get familiar with this circle, you'll be able to get by!"
Others whispered, "What a bumpkin, ungrateful."
Chen Xuan glanced at the so-called young masters. What connections could these people have?
However, since the invitation had been extended, Chen Xuan decided to stay. But standing with them, Chen Xuan seemed out of place.
Young Master Qian wanted to help Young Master Yan deal with Chen Xuan, deliberately showing off his luxury cars, villas, and connections.
But Chen Xuan remained indifferent, which made Young Master Qian quite anxious.
Suddenly, Young Master Qian remembered something and scanned everyone with a smile, "Have you heard? Young Master Bai is hospitalized."
"Young Master Bai? Which Young Master Bai?" A long-legged girl in her early twenties frowned.
"Of course, it's Young Master Bai Fei of the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce, Young Master Bai!" someone reminded her.
The long-legged girl's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, "That Young Master Bai! How did Young Master Bai get hospitalized?"
Others were also curious.
Young Master Bai was a legendary young master in their circle. They usually had trouble even getting a word with him.
"I heard that Young Master Bai provoked someone he shouldn't have, and Young Master Bai personally beat him up," Young Master Qian said with a smile.
"Really?" Many people expressed doubt.
Who was Young Master Bai? Would Young Master Bai beat his own son for someone else?
Young Master Qian affirmed, "This happened this afternoon. Young Master Bai is still in the hospital. My friend's girlfriend is a nurse at the provincial hospital. She personally bandaged Young Master Bai and took photos."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, "Damn, for a big shot, Young Master Bai beat his own son into the hospital. What kind of incredible figure must that be?"
"Amazing, that's an incredible figure!"
"It would be great if we had a chance to meet him."
All the so-called young masters and socialites were excited.
Young Master Qian smiled and turned to Chen Xuan, "A bumpkin like you would probably only be able to look up to him even if you worked for ten lifetimes."
"Hahaha!"
The others burst into laughter.
Young Master Yan also laughed. Seeing Chen Xuan's embarrassed look, he felt much more relieved.
Chen Xuan smiled.
A group of frogs in a well, mocking the dragon in the sky.
They didn't know that the unremarkable person standing in front of them was the big shot they were talking about!
"We probably don't have the ability to meet that big shot. However, we can go to the hospital to visit Young Master Bai and get to know him. If we can get to know Young Master Bai, who wouldn't give us face in the future?" Young Master Qian said excitedly.
This group of young masters and socialites were also children of wealthy families, with plenty of money, but they lacked connections in the martial world and had suffered losses in this regard. If they could get to know Young Master Bai, it would be an extremely honorable thing for them.
Everyone was so excited they almost jumped when they heard this.
But then they thought about it, and several of them lacked confidence, "Young Master Qian, we don't have any connection with Young Master Bai at all."
Young Master Qian had said a lot, waiting for this moment. He flattered, "You don't, but our Young Master Yan has some connection with Young Master Bai. Young Master Bai has eaten with him and toasted him. With Young Master Yan's introduction, aren't you afraid it won't work?"
"Young Master Yan..."
Everyone turned their heads, looking at Young Master Yan expectantly.
Young Master Yan's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal and said faintly, "It's easy to say, easy to say."
"Thank you, Young Master Yan!"
Everyone thanked him profusely, flattering and fawning over Young Master Yan.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Young Master Yan smiled bitterly.
At that time, his father had gone through connections to invite Young Master Bai to a meal, and he had also taken the opportunity to toast him. As for the connection, it was very shallow.
Now, his father might still have some qualifications, but how could he have the qualifications to talk about connections with Young Master Bai?
However, with so many people watching, he naturally wouldn't lose face.
"Kid, did you see? This is Young Master Yan's capability. Don't worry, since you've entered this circle, we won't leave you behind. Later, you'll come with us to the hospital to visit Young Master Bai. Why don't you quickly thank Young Master Yan and treat Young Master Yan to a meal at Heaven on Earth some other day?"
Young Master Qian turned to Chen Xuan, showing a condescending expression.
Young Master Yan also raised his chin. Although he remained silent, he was waiting for Chen Xuan to thank him.
This Young Master Qian was so good at currying favor!
Everyone could see that Young Master Qian was deliberately currying favor with Young Master Yan and humiliating Chen Xuan. Many people laughed and egged Chen Xuan on to thank Young Master Yan.
Zhen Xiaoqiong, lacking intelligence, saw that Chen Xuan wasn't going and gritted her teeth, "Chen Xuan, what are you doing? Don't you see that Young Master Qian is kindly offering help and letting you get to know a big shot? Why don't you quickly go and thank Young Master Yan! Otherwise, who would give you such an opportunity?"
"Thank him?"
Chen Xuan sneered.
From their conversation earlier, Chen Xuan knew about Young Master Yan becoming famous overnight. Why was this Young Master Yan so hostile towards him? It turned out he was a love rival!
Did he need to get to know the mere Bai Shaofei?
"Chen Xuan, don't be ungrateful!" Zhen Xiaoqiong put on a stern face.
Chen Xuan looked at Zhen Xiaoqiong, his expression slightly cold. He had initially thought Zhen Xiaoqiong was just a bit snobbish, but he never expected her to be so brainless!
He said coldly, "Ungrateful? Speaking of which, Bai Shaofei being beaten into the hospital by his father was because of me. You want me to go see him? You ask him if he dares?"
