Chapter 321 Grand Opening Ceremony!
The old man quickly nodded, flattering, "Miss Jiajia is right, Jiangzhou cannot compare with the provincial capital."
Li Jiajia was instantly full of pride, feeling a bit smug.
Li Xin, standing beside her, couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, what's this Xuanji Hall?"
Uncle explained, "That's our son-in-law Chen Xuan... Chen Xuan opened a hall, and it's said to be quite powerful. They are advertising everywhere now, and it's rumored to be very impressive."
"Chen Xuan opened it?"
Before Li Xin could speak, Li Jiajia's face instantly turned cold, and she shrieked.
As soon as she heard that Chen Xuan was doing well, Li Jiajia felt terrible, wishing Chen Xuan was begging on the streets right now.
"Yes," Uncle nodded.
"Hmph, it's not like that guy is living off of us, how shameless."
What Xuanji Hall? In Li Jiajia's opinion, it was just a small martial arts school, and it was something Chen Xuan got by leeching off of others. Although she considered herself very noble, she still felt a blockage in her chest.
Uncle said meaningfully, "Miss Jiajia, Chen Xuan is not what he used to be. He has quite a reputation in Jiangzhou."
"Hmph, I spit. What reputation? The reputation of being a freeloader?" Li Jiajia felt even worse.
The old man quickly changed the subject, "Miss Jiajia, I didn't know you were coming. I'll quickly tidy up your room and get you water. You should rest well."
"This place is so dirty, we won't stay here. Xin'er and I have already booked rooms at a big hotel outside," Li Jiajia said with disdain.
After speaking, Li Jiajia pulled Li Xin and left the Li family villa.
As the two walked outside, they happened to see the large advertisements posted on the bus stop signs outside the neighborhood.
Xuanji Hall is about to grandly open!
To create buzz for Xuanji Hall's opening, Hei Hu alone spent tens of millions on advertising. Bus stop signs, subway stations, squares, and even streetlights were all announcing the opening of Xuanji Hall.
Li Jiajia looked at the poster for Xuanji Hall's opening and felt a pang of resentment. Recalling the humiliation Chen Xuan had caused her at the Medicine King's Mansion, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Suddenly, a cold glint flashed in Li Jiajia's beautiful eyes, and she said with a sinister smile, "Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, you're out of luck. Since you're here, it's fate. We'll also go and congratulate Xuanji Hall tomorrow."
Although she called it a congratulation, her voice was filled with malice and阴沉.
Li Xin looked at Li Jiajia's expression and immediately guessed her thoughts. She advised, "Sister, let's forget it. If we hadn't come to Jiangzhou, we would still be in the provincial capital, and it would be fine if we didn't interfere with each other, right?"
Li Jiajia's pretty face darkened. She glared at Li Xin, "Let me tell you, Aunt is very unhappy that you spoke up for that guy last time. If you dare to speak up for that guy again, and if Aunt finds out, she'll definitely deal with you."
Li Xin's fair face flushed and paled, and she dared not say anything more.
Li Jiajia frowned and looked at Li Xin, "You haven't fallen for that guy, have you?"
Li Xin's face reddened, and she quickly shook her head, "No, no..."
Li Jiajia looked suspicious and warned, "You'd better not. That guy caused our Li family to go bankrupt. We have an irreconcilable hatred."
The next day.
Xuanji Hall was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and it was bustling with activity! The place was cleaned spotlessly, and a red carpet was laid from the inner rooms all the way to the entrance, making it grand and magnificent.
Since it was Xuanji Hall's opening, Chen Xuan had also arrived at Xuanji Hall early!
He stood at the entrance to welcome guests, with Hei Hu and other key members of Xuanji Hall standing beside him.
It was still early, and no guests had arrived yet.
Just then, a Lamborghini screeched to a halt at the entrance, and two women and one man got out of the car.
The two women were naturally Li Jiajia and Li Xin.
As for the man, he was the young master of a provincial family, named Xiong Dajun. Ever since he had met Li Jiajia at a banquet, he had been pursuing her.
Now, Li Jiajia considered herself too proud and didn't think much of Xiong Dajun. However, since there were no better men, she kept him around, treating Xiong Dajun as a backup and a meal ticket.
When Xiong Dajun heard that Li Jiajia was coming to Jiangzhou, he followed her to show his attentiveness. All their expenses in Jiangzhou were paid for by Xiong Dajun.
Of course, Xiong Dajun had another reason for coming to Jiangzhou: he wanted to negotiate cooperation with Yishen Pharmaceutical.
"Dajun, let's go and congratulate them!"
Li Jiajia linked her arm through Xiong Dajun's, feigning intimacy, and arrogantly raised her head as she walked towards Xuanji Hall.
Although Xiong Dajun was not a big shot in the provincial capital circle, he was enough to swagger around in the small Jiangzhou. He was enough to step on a freeloader like Chen Xuan!
She seemed to see Chen Xuan's pathetic state of bowing and scraping.
Li Xin bit her lip, a little worried about causing trouble. She jogged up.
"Mr. Chen..."
Hei Hu, standing at the entrance, seemed to see something. He pointed to the side and said with a strange expression, "Look..."
"What's wrong?"
Chen Xuan saw Hei Hu's strange look and instinctively followed his gaze. He saw Li Jiajia, Li Xin, and Xiong Dajun walking towards them with displeased expressions.
"What are you doing here?"
"Chen Xuan, after all, we were a couple. You've opened such a big place, I have to come and offer my congratulations."
Li Jiajia giggled, her body shaking.
"Chen Xuan..." Li Xin greeted him.
Wei Dajun deliberately pulled Li Jiajia closer to him, chest puffed out, as if to assert ownership. "Brother, you wouldn't be so stingy as to not let people in."
Couple? Heh heh!
Chen Xuan sneered.
He knew Li Jiajia had ill intentions, but as the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling face, and it wasn't appropriate to turn people away on such a joyous occasion.
He turned and cleared the way, "Please come in."
"Tch, what a coward!"
Li Jiajia said contemptuously.
In Li Jiajia's opinion, Chen Xuan stepping aside was admitting defeat.
This woman was always like this. When Chen Xuan was with her before, he would be completely obedient to her, and she would take it for granted. If Chen Xuan took a step back, she would think Chen Xuan was useless.
And she never realized that this was Chen Xuan's indulgence and love for her.
Wei Dajun glanced at Chen Xuan with disdain, patted Li Jiajia's behind. Li Jiajia feigned shyness, nestled in Wei Dajun's embrace, and walked into Xuanji Hall with giggles.
Li Xin walked behind, her lips moving. She mouthed to Chen Xuan: Couldn't you have just not let Li Jiajia in? She'll cause you big trouble.
Chen Xuan was unfazed.
He had long seen through Li Jiajia's intentions, and he didn't care at all, because he was no longer what he used to be. He was no longer that worthless man who had to ask Li Jiajia for money just to buy a pack of cigarettes.
He didn't care about her little tricks at all.
However, Li Xin had truly changed her ways. It seemed that the death of their grandfather had made her see many things she had never seen before.
The group walked straight into Xuanji Hall.
"Dajun, look at this hall, this decoration, this layout. It's really rustic. Compared to the grand halls of the provincial capital's martial arts schools, this is like a place for beggars."
Li Jiajia glanced around at the exquisite decorations with disdain, exaggerating and belittling Xuanji Hall.
Wei Dajun, wanting to please Li Jiajia, quickly agreed, "Jiangzhou is just a backward place. Even their halls are decorated so lowly. It's truly laughable. I think this so-called Xuanji Hall will go bankrupt sooner or later."
The two of them sang in unison, finding fault with everything in Xuanji Hall. If they had the ability, they would have demolished Xuanji Hall.
"What did you say?"
Hei Hu and the others had dark expressions, their fierce gazes fixed on Wei Dajun and the others.
These decorations were all done by Hei Hu hiring Jiangzhou's largest interior design company. Just the design drawings cost hundreds of thousands, not to mention the materials. It could be said that countless efforts were put in, but in their mouths, it was worthless, like dog droppings.
How could they not be angry?
With a clamor, a group of people surrounded them, their fierce eyes seeming to want to devour Li Jiajia.
Li Jiajia was startled and flinched, but with Wei Dajun by her side, she had a backing. "Dajun, look at these lowly individuals... they want to hit me..."
Wei Dajun was not afraid at all. As someone from the provincial capital, he simply didn't believe these people dared to touch him. He said dismissively, "You still dare to make a move? Let me tell you, we are from the provincial capital. If you dare to make a move, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Hei Hu was now among the top figures in Jiangzhou. Provincial people were just people with two shoulders and a head. Who was nobler than whom?
Those empty titles no longer scared him!
"I don't care if you're from the provincial capital!"
"If you dare to insult Xuanji Hall, you will leave your legs behind!"
Hei Hu's expression turned fierce. With a wave of his hand, a group of people were about to charge forward.
The battle was on the verge of erupting!
