Chapter 1294 Conspiracy
Suddenly, Su Fengming looked at Chen Xuan, sizing him up. Could this be the troublemaker rumored in the Kyoto Su family?
However, after looking for a while, Su Fengming couldn't find anything unusual about Chen Xuan.
"I'm sorry, Cousin Fengming, for causing you trouble," Su Yunxi said gratefully.
"Little Yunxi, you're too kind. This is what I should do, after all, we are all Su family members."
Su Fengming looked at Su Yunxi and smiled kindly again.
Then, before Su Yunxi could say anything more, her gaze shifted to Chen Xuan, and she said coldly:
"Chen Xuan, hurry back. Although you are the live-in son-in-law of the Kyoto Su family, you are not qualified to attend this grand event."
In front of Chen Xuan, Su Fengming's demeanor as a proud daughter of the Su family was fully displayed, her tone filled with arrogance.
Chen Xuan was not intimidated by Su Fengming's words, but rather surprised by her swift change of demeanor.
They say women change their faces quickly, but this was too fast. Was she studying face-changing artistry?
"Kid, haven't you heard Cousin Fengming speaking to you?" Su Chenglong coldly reprimanded.
Chen Xuan said, "I heard, but I don't think I'm unqualified to attend this banquet!"
Su Fengming raised her eyebrows, surprised that Chen Xuan dared to refute her. She knew her authority was not small in the Kyoto Su family.
Su Chenglong said coldly, "Kid, don't be ungrateful. If it weren't for Cousin Fengming, you would have been finished long ago!"
Su Yunxi knew that it was not appropriate to cause conflict in such an occasion, as it would only make others laugh. So, she advised, "Chen Xuan, why don't you go back first?"
Suddenly, Su Fengming said, "Yunxi, forget it, don't bother with him. Let's go in first. Anyway, he can't get in without an invitation."
"Exactly, the security here is tight, he can't sneak in," Su Chenglong said sarcastically.
Without waiting for Su Yunxi to speak, Su Fengming grabbed her wrist and they walked into the White Egret Mountain Villa.
Chen Xuan shrugged.
The people around looked at Chen Xuan, exchanging glances, and kept their distance.
Having witnessed Chen Xuan's powerful display earlier, even though he had offended Cao Jun, if Chen Xuan were truly from the 'Upper Three Sects', many would have been willing to befriend him. However, as a mere live-in son-in-law of the Kyoto Su family, they naturally avoided him!
Chen Xuan paid no mind to the gazes of those around him and strode towards the White Egret Manor!
"Stop!"
The guards at the entrance of the White Egret Mountain Villa immediately stopped Chen Xuan, their expressions extremely cold.
They were all Cao family guards. They had seen Chen Xuan humiliate Cao Jun earlier and harbored deep resentment towards him.
"Why can't I come in?"
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows.
"Do you have an invitation?"
"No, but someone invited me. Why can't I come in?"
"Invited you? Was it Zhang San or Li Si?"
The guard's voice was filled with thick sarcasm.
"Cao Gang!"
"Cao Gang? How about Cao Cao? Have you watched too much Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
The guard didn't immediately recognize Cao Gang's identity, but it was understandable. In their eyes, Cao Gang was the patriarch of the Cao family, and they wouldn't dare to address him by name!
Moreover, the patriarch of the Cao family was too far removed from them.
Chen Xuan was speechless. He didn't have any invitation.
Just as he was about to call Cao Gang to have him personally pick him up, a voice suddenly rang out: "What's going on here?"
A young man in a suit and tie, with an arrogant expression, walked over.
Upon seeing this young man, the crowd showed sarcastic expressions.
"Isn't this Cao Fang, Cao Jun's elder brother? This kid just made Cao Jun kneel, Cao Fang probably won't let him off!"
"This Cao Fang is ruthless and cruel. It's a shame Su Fengming isn't here. If Su Fengming were here, there might still be a glimmer of hope. This kid is dead!"
"Report to Young Master Cao Fang, this is what happened. This kid doesn't have an invitation and wants to enter the White Egret Mountain Villa, so some words were exchanged. Don't worry, I'll drive him away now."
The guard's expression was solemn, fearing that his poor performance would incur Cao Fang's displeasure.
They knew that Cao Fang was different from Cao Jun. He already held a certain status in the Cao family and had control over some of the Cao family's businesses. This White Egret Mountain Villa was under Cao Fang's name.
"Get lost now!"
The guard looked at Chen Xuan and shouted coldly.
He expected Cao Fang to seize the opportunity to attack, but he didn't expect Cao Fang to coldly reprimand, "How can you speak to Mr. Chen like that?"
Not only did the guard freeze, but even Chen Xuan frowned.
He didn't seem to know this Cao Fang. Could it be that Cao Gang had arranged for him?
"Uh..."
The guard's face turned red, not understanding why Cao Fang would speak well of Chen Xuan.
"Hurry up and let Mr. Chen in."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll let Mr. Chen in now."
The guard nodded like pounding garlic, then bowed respectfully to Chen Xuan, extending his hand and bending so low that his head almost touched his feet: "Mr. Chen, please!"
"Thank you."
With that, Chen Xuan strode in!
A youth beside Cao Fang, with venomous eyes, suddenly spoke, "Young Master Cao Fang, this guy just beat your brother. Why did you let him into the banquet?"
This youth was named Ge Qing, the elder brother of Ge Feiyan. He doted on Ge Feiyan and had learned about what happened from Ge Feiyan earlier, so he found Cao Fang.
When Cao Fang heard that someone dared to make his brother kneel at the entrance of the White Egret Mountain Villa, he immediately came with Ge Qing.
Ge Qing had expected Cao Fang to deal with Chen Xuan harshly, but he didn't expect Cao Fang to actually help Chen Xuan out of his predicament, which was completely beyond his expectation.
"No matter what, this kid is the live-in son-in-law of the Kyoto Su family. Who can bully him as they please?"
"But..."
"Brother Ge Qing, I know you care about your sister. How can I not care about my brother? Do you think I would let this guy go?"
Ge Qing looked at Cao Fang's confident demeanor with surprise and suddenly asked, "Could it be that Young Master Cao Fang has a brilliant idea?"
Cao Fang pondered for a moment, narrowing his eyes, and smiled, "What's the point of beating this guy here?"
"That is..."
"For example, if this guy sneaked into the banquet without an invitation and was publicly humiliated, wouldn't that be interesting?"
"As a live-in son-in-law, especially a live-in son-in-law of the Vermilion Bird lineage, this guy must not be well-received by the Kyoto Su family. If he causes some trouble, he'll probably be kicked out of the Kyoto Su family tomorrow!"
"By then, how we deal with this guy will be up to us, won't it?"
Upon hearing this, Ge Qing gave Cao Fang a thumbs-up and flattered him, "Young Master Cao Fang, you are truly brilliant, truly deserving of the title 'Little Zhuge'!"
"That live-in son-in-law is anyway associated with the Kyoto Su family's name. If he embarrasses himself, our Ge family will also benefit. I must thank you!"
As a sworn enemy of the Kyoto Su family, Ge Qing preferred the latter over beating Chen Xuan.
No one expected that after they said these words, Chen Xuan, who seemed to be walking away, gave a devilish smile.
You want to embarrass me? I'll see how you embarrass me!
He merely paused his steps slightly, his figure flashed, and he disappeared into the White Egret Mountain Villa.
