Chapter 389 Substitute Incense
After Jiang Biyun left, Su Yunxi arranged accommodations for Chen Xuan, Xue Chuan, and Mo Xiaoxue.
That evening, Jiang Biyun did not give Chen Xuan a pleasant expression. During dinner, her face was grim, so dark it seemed water would drip from it.
The next morning, after breakfast, Chen Xuan strolled around the villa, thinking about the things his father had left him. Although it had stopped snowing, the heavy snow still covered the city, and he would have to wait a few more days.
The Su family was not peaceful either. Chen Xuan had to seize the opportunity to strengthen his influence in the provincial capital. If he could establish a foothold in such a large city, he might then be barely qualified to contend with behemoths like the Su family in the capital.
As for the thirty billion cash, he would see in three days!
Chen Xuan mused to himself and had arrived at the villa entrance, preparing to head to Xuanji Hall according to its address. After all, it was his territory. Since he was in the provincial capital, he should go and see it. If Xuanji Hall was developing well, his actions would be more convenient.
As Chen Xuan reached the entrance, a small panel van drove over and stopped outside the villa. Two workers alighted from the van, skillfully opened the cargo area, and carried a large bouquet of roses to the villa entrance.
"This is the place!"
One of the men, wearing the uniform of a Four Seasons Flower Shop employee, matched the address with the villa's nameplate and said to his colleague. The group then walked in.
At this moment, a maid from the Su family approached, eyeing the two with vigilance.
Chen Xuan recognized this maid; she was one of Su Yunxi's maids, Xiaocao.
"Stop, what are you here for?" Xiaocao placed her hands on her hips and scanned the two men.
Another man chuckled, "We are employees of the Four Seasons Flower Shop. Mr. Guo Yulong has ordered nine hundred and ninety-nine roses for Miss Su Yunxi!"
Upon hearing this, many young maids walked over, looking at the bouquets the two men could barely carry, their faces flushed and their eyes twinkling with adoration.
"If a man sent me such a large bouquet of flowers, I'd marry him on the spot!"
"You silly girl, still dreaming!"
"So what if I'm dreaming?"
Several maids giggled.
The man asked, "Do you know where to put them?"
Xiaocao remembered Su Yunxi's attitude from the previous day and hesitated. "Wait a moment, I'll ask our young lady for instructions."
Su Yunxi had gone out with Mo Xiaoxue early in the morning. Xiaocao could only call Su Yunxi. The call ended quickly, and many maids crowded around.
"Did the young lady agree?"
"Quick, quick, I need to take a photo to post on my Moments later."
"Look at you all acting love-struck. Get out of my way."
Xiaocao glanced at the chattering maids, put on a stern face, and placing her slender hands on her waist, she shouted.
Xiaocao seemed to command a lot of authority here. As soon as she spoke, the other maids scattered.
"Young lady, where should I put these flowers for you?" the man asked again.
"Take them back where you came from. Our young lady doesn't want them."
"This..."
"What 'this'? Hurry up and leave, or I'll call security."
The two men, startled, turned to leave.
Just then, Chen Xuan walked over with a smile. "Since you've come, why send them back? Just leave them here."
"On what grounds are you making decisions for the young lady?"
Xiaocao turned and saw Chen Xuan, showing him no respect at all.
She was Su Yunxi's personal maid, like a sister to her. She knew how hard the Su family had been struggling recently and believed it was all because of Chen Xuan. Furthermore, she felt Chen Xuan was not worthy of Su Yunxi.
However, if she had to choose between Chen Xuan and Guo Yulong as a husband for Su Yunxi, she still thought Chen Xuan was slightly better.
But this fellow was too disappointing!
Others looked at Chen Xuan in surprise, utterly bewildered that Chen Xuan would accept flowers sent by someone else for his own fiancée.
"Our young lady truly has lost her sight, choosing a man like you."
Xiaocao glared at Chen Xuan a few times, pouted, "But if our young lady doesn't want these flowers, your words are useless."
"Then I'll call Yunxi."
Chen Xuan, helpless, had to call Su Yunxi again. Although Su Yunxi didn't understand Chen Xuan's intentions, she agreed. Xiaocao stamped her foot in anger and could only have the large bouquet of roses left behind. However, her contempt for Chen Xuan deepened, and the other maids also looked down on Chen Xuan.
"Hmph!"
Xiaocao snorted coldly and turned to leave, followed by the other maids who dispersed.
"Stop! Did I say you could leave?" Chen Xuan called out.
Although Xiaocao was unwilling, she stopped and turned to glare at Chen Xuan, her face flushed. "Is there anything else?"
Chen Xuan pointed at the roses on the ground and instructed, "Have someone break these roses apart and put them into vases, then place them in the restroom. They can serve as air freshener from now on."
"Ah?"
Xiaocao was stunned upon hearing this, looking at the many imported high-grade roses with disbelief.
Using the high-grade roses sent by Young Master Guo as toilet air freshener?
"Completely unaware of saving."
Muttering, Chen Xuan had already walked away.
By the time Xiaocao reacted, Chen Xuan was long gone. She covered her mouth and giggled, "So, he wants to disgust Young Master Guo."
At the same time, a maid, seeing that Xiaocao had accepted the roses, quietly took out her latest iPhone from her pocket, looked around to ensure no one was watching, and dialed a number.
Soon, an excited voice rang out from the phone, "How was it? Did Yunxi accept the roses?"
The maid replied busily, "Young Master Guo, the young lady Su has accepted the flowers."
"Excellent!"
Guo Yulong, excited, jumped up from his leather seat.
He mused to himself: It seems that Su Yunxi refused yesterday because she was too embarrassed in front of so many people!
"Well done. I'll transfer two thousand to your account later," Young Master Guo said into the phone.
The maid's heart leaped with joy, and she quickly smiled, "Thank you, Young Master Guo!"
After hanging up, Young Master Guo stood before the massive floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the provincial capital's skyscrapers and the scenery in the distance. "It seems I need to redouble my efforts to win the beauty's heart sooner!"
However, Young Master Guo had no idea that his nine hundred and ninety-nine imported high-grade roses had all been placed in the Su family villa's restroom, replacing the air freshener to purify the toilet's air.
......
Chen Xuan drove the car and arrived at his destination according to the address left by Black Tiger.
Black Tiger's address was clear, but it was too remote. Chen Xuan asked around and inquired further, finally arriving at a secluded alley.
This area was a former urban village, seemingly about to be demolished. Dilapidated dormitories were everywhere, and the streets were piled with garbage. Very few people were seen.
Walking straight ahead, Chen Xuan finally found the location marked on the note.
Chen Xuan looked up and saw a plaque hanging there.
Xuanji Hall Film and Entertainment Company.
"Ah?"
Chen Xuan looked at the plaque, immediately stunned, his brows furrowed. What was going on?
"Quick, look! That kid must be from Xuanji Hall. Don't let him escape!"
Just as Chen Xuan was about to knock on the door, a cold voice sounded from behind him.
