Chapter 750 Some Rejoice, Some Lament
"What's so great about being a live-in son-in-law!"
Wei Changzhe's face darkened.
He was Wei Changzhe of the Wei family, an influential figure in the provincial capital, a wealthy magnate whose stomp could shake the entire provincial capital.
He had already gone to great lengths by apologizing to a live-in son-in-law, yet this fellow dared to show him a cold shoulder. Naturally, he was displeased.
Unexpectedly, Wei Linlin shouted, "Wei Changzhe, I'm telling you, if you don't get Chen Xuan's forgiveness, I'll never speak to you again!"
"Linlin, listen to me, Chen Xuan is just a live-in son-in-law. Look..."
Wei Changzhe had no children and regarded Wei Linlin as his own daughter. If Wei Linlin ignored him, he would feel very upset.
"Talk to me after Chen Xuan forgives you!"
With that, Wei Linlin stamped her foot and left in a huff, leaving Wei Changzhe standing there.
Everyone looked at each other. Wei Changzhe was also a big shot in the provincial capital, with countless people wanting to curry favor with him, yet now he was being treated with such disdain...
What a sight to behold!
But there was nothing they could do, as Wei Linlin was the little princess of the Wei family.
Wei Changzhe's brows were furrowed. "Do I really have to apologize to the Su family's live-in son-in-law?"
"No, I won't!"
After a moment of contemplation, Wei Changzhe shook his head and said with certainty.
Just then, a ringtone sounded. Wei Changzhe took out his phone, a smile appeared on his face, and he answered, "Brother, why are you calling? Is there something you need me to do?"
On the other end of the phone was none other than Wei Changgeng!
Wei Changgeng asked, "How is Linlin?"
"Linlin is fine, still in school!" Wei Changzhe said guiltily.
Wei Changgeng's imposing voice questioned, "Changzhe, how long are you going to lie to me?"
"Brother, you know everything?" Wei Changzhe had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Hmph, if it weren't for an old friend calling me to ask about Linlin's safety, I wouldn't have known such a big incident had happened."
Wei Changzhe was so angry he gritted his teeth.
Who would do such a thing?
"How is Linlin?" Wei Changgeng's voice also carried tension.
"Brother, don't worry, Linlin has been rescued! She's safe and sound!"
"What exactly happened?" Wei Changgeng breathed a sigh of relief and frowned.
So, Wei Changzhe awkwardly recounted the entire incident to Wei Changgeng.
Wei Changgeng sighed repeatedly as he listened!
Confronting powerful families like the Li family!
And looking for Wei Linlin!
And defeating the number one expert of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade!
Chen Xuan accomplished all of this alone. How long had Chen Xuan been in the provincial capital? How could he possess such formidable strength?
Crucially, Chen Xuan had defeated the Yanhuang Iron Brigade's top expert!
That was a master of a generation!
Was Chen Xuan that strong?
Wei Changzhe was unaware that Wei Changgeng's heart was already in turmoil. He complained, "Brother, the Su family's live-in son-in-law is too presumptuous. I apologized to him, but he didn't accept it. I think the Su family is blind!"
"Shut up!"
A sudden roar came from Wei Changzhe's end of the phone.
"Brother, why are you yelling at me? Am I wrong?" Wei Changzhe asked softly.
Wei Changgeng said coldly, "Wei Changzhe, if the Su family's son-in-law doesn't forgive you, I'll put you under house arrest for a year! And I'll take back all the businesses you're managing!"
"What?"
Wei Changzhe couldn't believe it.
An elder brother is like a father. The Wei brothers had lost their mother and father at a very young age. It was Wei Changzhe who raised Wei Changgeng, so Wei Changzhe greatly feared Wei Changgeng.
"Alright, I'll go!"
Although Wei Changzhe was unwilling, he agreed.
Of course, it was mainly because he had also sensed that this live-in son-in-law, Chen Xuan, was not simple.
"Are you unhappy?"
"Well... a little..."
Wei Changzhe nodded slowly.
Wei Changgeng sighed and said, "My dear brother, then listen carefully. From what you've said, the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce and the emerging force Xuanji Hall are both looking for Linlin's whereabouts. Xuanji Hall is second only to the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce, but it's a recently risen power with unimaginable development speed. I think Xuanji Hall is likely Chen Xuan's influence."
"Moreover, I also inquired just now. Even the Changle Chamber of Commerce is helping to find Linlin. You can consider it as the Changle Chamber of Commerce wanting to be friends with our Wei family, but according to the information I received, that's not entirely the case. It seems someone within the Changle Chamber of Commerce is pushing this matter."
"You mean even the Changle Chamber of Commerce has Chen Xuan's shadow?"
"Precisely!" Wei Changgeng nodded.
Wei Changzhe couldn't help but swallow, his heart in turmoil!
It was common knowledge that the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce was on good terms with Chen Xuan. The person who brought Gu Junjie over earlier was the hall master of Xuanji Hall, Yang Chaotian. He had met Yang Chaotian once at a banquet.
As for the Changle Chamber of Commerce looking for Wei Linlin, he had also heard about it.
My goodness!
Is this what a live-in son-in-law is supposed to do?
Following that, Wei Changgeng went on to say that the Su family, acting alone, was able to contend with the Wei family and others without falling behind.
Furthermore, Chen Xuan had defeated the Yanhuang Iron Brigade's top expert.
Every piece of news was shocking!
Wei Changzhe was completely stunned.
Is this live-in son-in-law so powerful?
Because Chen Xuan was a live-in son-in-law, he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. But now, it seemed that this live-in son-in-law was too formidable!
"Do you have any more complaints?" Wei Changgeng said.
"Brother, don't worry, I'll go to the Su family to apologize tomorrow!"
"Not to apologize, but to beg for forgiveness!"
...
Today!
It was destined for some to rejoice and some to lament!
Wei Linlin was safe and sound, so the Wei family and the Su family were naturally overjoyed. The Gu family, on the other hand, must have wished they could find a tofu to crash into. Just now, the Gu family was provoked by an unknown force, and their remaining businesses were also shut down.
The reason was simple: the Wei family had made it clear, who would dare to do business with you?
As for Li Tianxing and others, they were all grim-faced.
They had been on the verge of victory, ready to pull the Wei family to their side, but due to Gu Junjie's blunders, they had instead incurred the Wei family's hostility.
Their biggest worry was that the Wei family and the Su family would unite to deal with them!
Although the Wei family was not an economic behemoth, they had official backing!
No matter how much money they had, they couldn't fight against the authorities!
At this moment, at the Li family's residence, figures sat one after another, their faces clouded with worry.
Li Tianxing, Situ Hongtu, Fang Yongning, Lei Yaoxiong, and others were all present!
Every face was extremely gloomy, not a single smile among them.
"All useless, a bunch of trash! All useless!"
Shi Menglu, sitting on the central sofa, was so angry that her pretty face turned red, and she kept pounding the table.
She had already prepared to deal with the provincial capital's Su family before Su Ning arrived, intending to perform well in front of Su Ning, but things had not gone as planned.
Li Tianxing and the others, who were leaders in their own right, were now being scolded by Shi Menglu and could not lift their heads, only wearing dark expressions.
Who dared to provoke Shi Menglu when Su Ning was behind her?
Since others dared not speak, all their gazes fell on Li Tianxing.
Li Tianxing did not want to provoke Shi Menglu, but who had initiated this alliance?
Thus, Li Tianxing could only brace himself and say, "Miss Shi, please don't be angry. This is not entirely our fault! We didn't expect things to turn out this way..."
