Mu Jianling knew very well what Qin Hanchu was about to face!
Without her help, Chen Jiaxing would surely have others severely punish Ye Jiangliu.
Even though Ye Jiangliu's mother was a Grandmaster, Grandmasters held little sway in front of Chen Jiaxing.
Besides, it was just a beating for Ye Jiangliu, not a killing blow!
Even if the First Madam was enraged, she could only swallow her anger.
“What’s going on?”
Just then, a commanding voice echoed from the back of the crowd.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the onlookers quickly parted.
“Father!”
Seeing the person arrive, Chen Jiaxing and Chen Jiaer spoke in unison.
This man was the current chairman of the Chen family, the eldest son of Old Master Chen.
With Chen family employees everywhere at the banquet, the conflict between Qin Hanchu and Chen Jiaxing was not hidden from Chairman Chen’s ears.
Chairman Chen surveyed the scene, then his gaze fell upon Chen Jiaxing. “What is this?”
“This guy insulted me!” Chen Jiaxing pointed at Qin Hanchu and said angrily.
Chairman Chen looked at Qin Hanchu. “And you are?”
“Chairman Chen, this person is my half-brother. Although he has Ye family blood, he left the Ye family with his mother, so he is no longer considered one of us! He spoke arrogantly, insulting Young Master Chen, and is truly excessively arrogant.”
Ye Jianghe was the first to jump out to speak for Chen Jiaxing.
Others also began to testify for Chen Jiaxing, with no one mentioning that Chen Jiaxing had insulted “Ye Jiangliu” as trash.
Mu Jianling wanted to speak, but was stopped by her second uncle from the Mu family.
Facing their accusations, Qin Hanchu remained unfazed.
Chen Jiaxing, on the other hand, was smug. With his status, everyone around him had to defer to him.
“Insulting my son is an insult to my Chen family.” Chairman Chen looked at Qin Hanchu and said in a deep voice. “Do you know the consequences of disrespecting my Chen family?”
Qin Hanchu walked up to Chairman Chen and smiled gently. “Let me have a private chat with you, and then you can rephrase your words.”
With that, Qin Hanchu walked towards an empty spot nearby.
Chairman Chen frowned, what did he mean?
The others were also baffled. What was Qin Hanchu up to?
Despite his surprise, Chairman Chen followed Qin Hanchu.
“What are you trying to do?” Chairman Chen asked, frowning.
Qin Hanchu took out the Gold Dragon Card given to him by Old Master Chen. “You should recognize this, shouldn’t you?”
“How do you have my Chen family’s Gold Dragon Card?” Chairman Chen was extremely shocked!
Throughout the entire Chen family, only two people were qualified to issue Gold Dragon Cards. One was him, and the other was his father! Chairman Chen had never seen “Ye Jiangliu” before, and he could be certain that this Gold Dragon Card was definitely not given by him. If it wasn’t given by him, then it could only be from his father!
“An old man gave it to me yesterday!”
“If you want to know why he gave me this card, you can ask him!”
“You Chen family have a project, right? Give me the power to choose the cooperating partner.”
“I’ll wait for you over there. Think about how to speak to me before you come back.”
Putting away the Gold Dragon Card, Qin Hanchu turned and walked back towards Mu Jianling.
Upon learning that the Gold Dragon Card was given by his father, Chairman Chen’s heart grew heavy. He quickly picked up his phone and dialed his father.
Seeing Qin Hanchu walking back, everyone present frowned. They were very curious about what Qin Hanchu had said to Chairman Chen. When they saw Chairman Chen take out his phone to make a call, their curiosity grew even more.
As soon as the phone rang, Old Master Chen’s voice came from the other end: “What is it?”
“Dad, did you give a young man a Gold Dragon Card yesterday?” Chairman Chen asked.
Hearing this, Old Master Chen’s voice was filled with surprise. “How do you know? Did you see this young man?”
“He’s here at our banquet, and he had a bit of a conflict with Jiaxing.”
Old Master Chen exclaimed angrily, “Immediately have Jiaxing apologize! This young man is a great benefactor to our Chen family. Anyone who dares to offend him is offending me! Whatever he says represents my wishes, and you must not disobey!”
“Wh-what?” Chairman Chen’s eyes widened in shock. He never expected Qin Hanchu to have so much influence! His own father said Qin Hanchu could represent his will? Even he, the Chairman of the Chen family, had to listen to “Ye Jiangliu”?
“Dad, what exactly is going on? How did he become our great benefactor?”
Old Master Chen: “You don’t need to know the specifics. I’m heading over now. Remember, treat this person as you would treat me, without any delay.”
After hearing Old Master Chen hang up, Chairman Chen was utterly dumbfounded. What on earth had happened? What reason could have made his father so courteous to “Ye Jiangliu”? After a long while, Chairman Chen finally composed himself and walked back to where Qin Hanchu and the others were.
“Your son insulted me, calling me trash. How do you think this should be handled?” Qin Hanchu asked Chairman Chen.
“What!” Sweat beaded on Chairman Chen’s forehead. Chen Jiaxing had actually insulted Qin Hanchu? Recalling his father’s words, he immediately roared at Chen Jiaxing, “Kneel down and apologize to Mr. Ye!”
Chairman Chen’s words left everyone stunned! They all thought they had misheard! What was going on? Chairman Chen was actually ordering Chen Jiaxing to kneel and apologize to “Ye Jiangliu”? Chen Jiaer and Chen Jiaxing were even more incredulous. What exactly had Qin Hanchu said to Chairman Chen? Why had Chairman Chen’s attitude changed so drastically?
“Dad, did you say that wrong?”
“He should be the one kneeling to apologize to me!” Chen Jiaxing stated!
Chairman Chen kicked Chen Jiaxing’s leg, and caught off guard, he immediately knelt on the ground.
“You heard correctly. Apologize to Mr. Ye immediately!”
Chairman Chen’s actions completely shocked the crowd. They finally realized they hadn’t misheard. Not only had Chairman Chen made Chen Jiaxing kneel and apologize, but he also respectfully addressed “Ye Jiangliu” as Mr. Ye! This… this was truly unbelievable! Mu Jianling was dumbfounded. What was going on? When did Ye Jiangliu gain such a status in the Chen family? Uncle Mu from the Mu family was completely frozen. What was this situation? How could the fool from the Ye family be so formidable? What had he said to Chairman Chen? Why had Chairman Chen’s attitude changed so much?
Chen Jiaxing stared at Qin Hanchu in bewilderment. Qin Hanchu smiled, “Apologize sincerely, or you’ll be expelled from the Chen family lineage. Don’t believe me, try it.”
“You…” Before Chen Jiaxing could finish his sentence, Chairman Chen reprimanded him, “Stop the nonsense and quickly apologize to Mr. Ye!”
Under Chairman Chen’s reprimand, Chen Jiaxing finally realized that “Ye Jiangliu” might have a powerful background. But what kind of background would make his father so wary of him? The fact that Chairman Chen had kicked him to his knees showed how resolute his stance was.
