Chapter 128 Never
"Padding your own pockets?"
Chen Xuan found it exasperating and helplessly explained, "Alright, I'll tell you. It's like this, your uncle probably wants me to check his feng shui."
Feng shui?
Murong Meng, a student under the current education system, did not believe in feng shui, metaphysics, or supernatural phenomena. Upon hearing that Murong Yuan was trying to curry favor with Chen Xuan because of feng shui, she immediately felt that Murong Yuan had been deceived.
"You actually deceived my uncle? How despicable!" Murong Meng said hatefully.
Seeing Murong Meng suspecting him, Chen Xuan simply spouted nonsense, "One beats the drum, the other is willing to be beaten. How can that be considered deceit?"
Murong Meng became even more convinced that Chen Xuan was deceiving her uncle and wished she could expose Chen Xuan right away.
However, this matter was instructed by Murong Yuan. If she couldn't invite Chen Xuan, wouldn't she lose face? But she planned to expose Chen Xuan afterwards.
"Don't forget, we're handing over the jade at the foot of Panshan Mountain tomorrow. I'll drive to pick you up," Murong Meng said.
"Not interested." Chen Xuan waved his hand.
Murong Meng gritted her teeth.
As expected, this guy was afraid of being exposed!
However, this made her even more eager to expose Chen Xuan, so she pestered him, wanting Chen Xuan to accompany her to the handover of the rough jade.
"If you don't go, I'll tell Yunxi that you molested me!" Murong Meng's thoughts raced, and she brought out her trump card.
Chen Xuan looked at Murong Meng and couldn't help but glance at her chest. His expression immediately became extremely peculiar.
At this moment, Murong Meng stood up due to her emotional agitation, her hands on the table. Because the evening gown was slightly loose, her fair chest was clearly visible...
Murong Meng was completely unaware of this.
"Ahem, alright, alright, I'm afraid of you," Chen Xuan said, patting his forehead.
Although he felt that Su Yunxi wouldn't believe what Murong Meng, that vixen, said, it might still cause a misunderstanding. And Murong Meng had paid a great enough "price" this time.
"That's more like it," Murong Meng said with a triumphant grin.
"Uh... I promise, can you stand up straight now? Everyone around is watching you. It's not very appropriate for you to be so open in public," Chen Xuan coughed a couple of times and couldn't help but remind her.
Murong Meng froze for a moment, turned to look at the old men around her, whose eyes were practically glowing green as they stared at her. She then slowly lowered her head and immediately saw her exposed chest...
Although she was outwardly flirtatious and seemed open, she was actually quite conservative. Embarrassment immediately flushed her face, and she quickly extended her fair arms to cover her chest.
For this, Murong Meng also blamed Chen Xuan. If it weren't for Chen Xuan, how could she have been exposed in such a setting? It might have affected her reputation.
Her beautiful eyes filled with anger, she glared at Chen Xuan, about to roar.
But at this moment, a loud voice suddenly rang out.
"Mr. Wei has arrived!"
Murong Meng gnashed her teeth in anger and finally stopped.
Chen Xuan followed the sound and saw a tall, imposing middle-aged man in a suit walking out of a room not far away.
As soon as this middle-aged man appeared, people from all walks of life flocked to greet him and toast him, hoping to make an impression.
"Is that Wei Changgeng of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade?" Chen Xuan asked, staring at the middle-aged man.
Murong Meng glared at Chen Xuan, but still nodded.
At this moment, Su Yunxi also walked over and whispered to Chen Xuan, "Do you want to go up and say hello? My father has already made arrangements for you to join the Yanhuang Iron Brigade."
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Su Qian was determined to send him to the Yanhuang Iron Brigade for seasoning.
However, he didn't need it and shook his head, "No need."
In terms of hierarchy, the Yanhuang Iron Brigade was considered a local security department, while his department belonged to a national-level security department.
Moreover, he was the elite of the elite, a confidential existence even within national-level security departments.
The Yanhuang Iron Brigade was not even in the same league.
Su Yunxi also respected Chen Xuan's choice and, seeing Chen Xuan's firm attitude, said nothing more.
Murong Meng looked at Chen Xuan with surprise, thinking he was too arrogant. So many people dreamed of joining the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, and here was a great opportunity, yet Chen Xuan didn't cherish it.
Not long after, Wei Changgeng walked over with a wine glass, his gaze falling on Chen Xuan.
At this time, a young man standing beside Wei Changgeng stared coldly at Chen Xuan and said, "Kid, all the guests here have greeted Mr. Wei. Why haven't you come to pay your respects?"
Chen Xuan looked up.
The speaker was a young man following Wei Changgeng.
He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with sword-like eyebrows and sharp eyes, and an extraordinary appearance. He was currently staring intently at Chen Xuan.
Murong Meng whispered, "That's Gu Feng."
"Kid, don't you have ears? Didn't you hear me?" Gu Feng said again with a cold tone.
After speaking, Gu Feng looked at a subordinate beside him and coldly ordered, "Go, bring him over here and make him properly pay his respects to Mr. Wei."
Wei Changgeng was somewhat displeased with Chen Xuan's steady composure, but for the sake of the Su family, he waved his hand to stop the two, "Do not be rude."
"Mr. Wei, he is clearly disrespecting you," Gu Feng said unwillingly.
Wei Changgeng frowned and said, "I know you have an opinion of him, but he is a friend of Brother Su, and he is the son-in-law chosen by Brother Su, understand?"
Gu Feng clenched his fists and closed his mouth unwillingly.
"Go invite him over, I have something to discuss with him," Wei Changgeng said.
Gu Feng nodded, turned, and walked towards Chen Xuan, his eyes flashing with cold light.
As Gu Feng walked over, many people's eyes became fiery.
"Now there's some excitement. The eldest young master of the Yu family saved Gu Feng's life. With the Yu family in trouble, Gu Feng probably won't let this Su family live-in son-in-law off."
"I heard this Su family live-in son-in-law defeated the Butcher of Blood Hands. His skills are also quite good. I wonder who is more formidable."
"Heh, do you even need to ask? Setting aside his family's prominent status, Gu Feng is one of the Four Talents of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade. He broke countless records in the Yanhuang Iron Brigade and became a generation's prodigy. This Su family live-in son-in-law is finished."
"Alas, it's tough to be a gigolo these days."
Arriving in front of Chen Xuan, Gu Feng narrowed his eyes, his gaze lingering on Chen Xuan, a cold smile playing on his lips.
Judging by the aura emanating from Chen Xuan, he was merely an insignificant martial artist. His defeat of the Butcher of Blood Hands was probably a fluke, and he likely had nothing to do with the overseas fugitive.
"Why are you so impolite? Why don't you hurry over and pay your respects to Mr. Wei?" Gu Feng said with a cold snort.
"Why should I pay my respects to Mr. Wei?" Chen Xuan remained as steady as a mountain.
"Mr. Wei is the person in charge of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade in Jiangnan Province. He holds great power. You, a country bumpkin, are truly impolite."
Su Yunxi's pretty face instantly turned cold, and she exclaimed, "How dare you!"
Gu Feng glanced at Su Yunxi and said softly, "Greetings, Miss Su. It's been a while."
Su Yunxi said coldly, "Uncle Wei asked you to invite someone. Is this how you invite someone?"
Gu Feng's expression changed slightly, "What does Miss Su mean?"
Su Yunxi exclaimed, "Never!"
