Chapter 1322 Esteemed Guest
"Sir, we'll serve the dishes now."
Huo Xiaoling's voice interrupted their conversation.
The three nodded in silence, tacitly agreeing to the matter.
"Serve the dishes."
Huo Xiaoling gave Chen Xuan a look.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, and with a bang, placed a basin of scalding boiled meat slices on the table.
This noise startled Huo Xiaoling, making her heart leap into her throat.
Why wasn't this guy listening? Hadn't he been reminded earlier? Why was he still so reckless?
She prayed inwardly that the important figures would not hold it against Chen Xuan!
In fact, Ge Xiong, the head of the Ge family, was already very dissatisfied with the situation. Chen Xuan's behavior now undoubtedly made him even more displeased. He snapped, "How are you serving dishes? Can't you be a little gentler?"
"This is how I serve dishes, so what?"
Chen Xuan sneered, directly retorting to Ge Xiong.
Ge Xiong was slightly taken aback, not expecting even a waiter to dare to talk back to him.
He suddenly looked up, and Chen Xuan's familiar face made Ge Xiong jump up and shout, "It's you!"
Whoosh!
All eyes turned to Chen Xuan!
The waiter's uniform at Jiangshang Mingyue looked particularly out of place at this moment!
The most bewildered were Huo Guangtai and Cao Gang, the head of the Cao family.
Why was Chen Xuan working as a waiter at Jiangshang Mingyue?
Cao Gang was stunned, but Huo Guangtai seemed to understand something.
Huo Guangtai saw Huo Xiaoling by his side, slapped his forehead, and instantly understood. It must have been a mistake; Huo Xiaoling must have mistaken Chen Xuan for a waiter.
Good heavens!
Su Tianhuang, the head of the Su family in the capital, felt a surge of joy in his heart. Ge Xiong had previously made a demand for Chen Xuan, and Chen Xuan's skills were extraordinary, which would have been difficult to handle. But now, Chen Xuan had delivered himself!
"You good-for-nothing Chen Xuan, you've committed heinous crimes, and you still dare to show up here!" Su Tianhuang slammed the table and said coldly.
"I don't know what heinous crimes I've committed?"
Chen Xuan was unconcerned and said calmly.
"You dared to cripple the Ge family's young master. Do you know the consequences?" Su Tianhuang said coldly.
"Hahaha, Su Tianhuang, Su Tianhuang, have you no shame? I'm a live-in son-in-law of the Vermillion Bird lineage, and thus half a member of the Su family in the capital. Now you're groveling to the Ge family. Don't forget that your Su family in the capital has always been in opposition with the Ge family in the capital."
These words undoubtedly exposed Su Tianhuang's ugly face completely.
Su Tianhuang's face also turned green and white!
"You are no longer a member of the Su family in the capital. Your Vermillion Bird lineage has already severed ties with the Su family in the capital!" Su Tianhuang gritted his teeth.
Upon hearing this, Cao Gang was stunned and said, "What? You're saying the Vermillion Bird lineage has separated from the Su family in the capital?"
Su Tianhuang immediately nodded and said domineeringly, "Patriarch Cao, you may not know this, but this Vermillion Bird lineage has been expelled from the Su family in the capital by me. From now on, the Vermillion Bird lineage has no connection with my Su family."
"You're not joking, are you?" Cao Gang was stunned.
"How could I joke about this?"
Cao Gang looked at Su Tianhuang as if he were an idiot. Could this guy be an idiot?
If it weren't for Chen Xuan, he would never have helped the Su family in the capital and the Ge family in the capital mediate. But now, this had happened.
By now, Cao Gang understood that his attempt to curry favor today had backfired spectacularly!
Ge Xiong sneered, "Patriarch Su, do you have any objections if I deal with the Vermillion Bird lineage and this guy?"
"Of course, I have no objections, and I will not interfere in this matter." Su Tianhuang said with a cold expression.
It seemed that in his eyes, the Vermillion Bird lineage was as insignificant as strangers.
Ge Xiong's eyes flickered with a cold glint upon hearing this. "I see!"
"Patriarch Su is truly not hypocritical. We, the Vermillion Bird lineage, looked down on your Su family in the capital and withdrew voluntarily. Yet you say your Su family in the capital drove us away. With the strength of our Vermillion Bird lineage, would you be willing to drive us away before getting any benefits?"
Chen Xuan sneered a few times.
"You... talking nonsense! Your Vermillion Bird lineage has committed heinous crimes, and I, Su Tianhuang, have expelled your Vermillion Bird lineage from the family. What is wrong with that?"
"Hehehe, how ridiculous!"
Chen Xuan coldly chuckled, completely ignoring Su Tianhuang.
"Patriarch Ge, didn't we just discuss it? You wanted this guy. Now that he's here, if you need help capturing him, I, Su Tianhuang, am willing to help." Su Tianhuang said in a deep voice.
"Then I'll trouble Patriarch Su." Ge Xiong waved his hand.
Swish, swish, swish!
Several dark figures leaped out from nowhere and surrounded Chen Xuan.
Su Tianhuang raised his hand, and several formidable figures also appeared before Chen Xuan, encircling him.
"Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, the path to heaven you refuse to take, the gate of hell you insist on entering..."
Bang!
"Ah—"
A basin of scalding boiled fish was poured directly onto Su Tianhuang's head, causing him to let out a pig-like scream!
"Chen Xuan, I will kill you!"
Su Tianhuang's eyes widened, almost spitting fire.
"Even if I go to hell, King Yama wouldn't dare to take me!" Chen Xuan was fearless!
"Attack!"
Su Tianhuang's teeth were itching with hatred.
The people behind Su Tianhuang lunged at Chen Xuan like leeches.
Ge Xiong also cooperated fully, ordering his men to capture Chen Xuan.
Instantly, the air was filled with killing intent!
Facing the assassination attempts from everyone, Chen Xuan's lips curled into a calm smile, his composure unshaken, standing with his hands behind his back!
At the critical moment!
"Stop!"
A cold shout suddenly echoed through the entire top floor!
Cao Gang, the head of the Cao family, slammed the table, his expression extremely grim.
Everyone's movements stiffened, and they stopped their actions.
"Mr. Cao, do you have any further instructions?" Ge Xiong couldn't help but frown.
Su Tianhuang also revealed a look of confusion.
"I'm asking you, is it my banquet today?"
"Yes..."
"You're fighting in my banquet, shouldn't you get my permission?"
"Uh..."
Su Tianhuang and Ge Xiong sensed something different, and repeatedly nodded, "Naturally."
"Apologize to Mr. Chen immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Su Tianhuang and Ge Xiong were utterly astonished.
Make them apologize to Chen Xuan?
Huh?
"Patriarch Cao, are you mistaken?"
"How could I be mistaken? Mr. Chen is the esteemed guest I invited today!"
This time, Su Tianhuang and Ge Xiong's mouths widened even further in surprise.
Their gazes fell upon Chen Xuan in unison.
Cao Gang had told them earlier about a mysterious esteemed guest, whom he was supposed to introduce at yesterday's banquet, but due to some error, he was preparing to introduce them now.
They never imagined that this person would be Chen Xuan!
"Are you very surprised, very disbelieving, thinking that none of this is real? Unfortunately, I am the guest invited by Mr. Cao today!"
Chen Xuan stared mockingly at Su Tianhuang and Ge Xiong, his eyes full of amusement.
Su Tianhuang suddenly understood. No wonder Chen Xuan had appeared at yesterday's banquet; he was invited by Cao Gang!
"Your performance has disappointed me, especially you, Patriarch Su. I have decided that regarding matters between you two, my Cao family will no longer intervene. You can resolve it however you wish!"
