Chapter 37 The Benefactor
Chen Yang's words were a direct slap in Zhou Sinian's face.
Just a moment ago, Zhou Sinian had declared that the banquet was held because of Chen Yang.
But in the blink of an eye, Chen Yang denied knowing Zhou Sinian. This felt like a direct public humiliation!
Yang Long and Liu Xin heard this and their expressions lit up with joy.
They knew Chen Yang was finished this time!
How dare he openly slap Zhou Sinian's face!
Others, however, shook their heads and sighed.
They couldn't help but think that a failure was just a failure.
Even when an opportunity was presented, they couldn't grasp it!
Instead, it turned into a disaster.
Chen Yang was truly foolish!
Those around him shook their heads.
Liu Ran, also tensed, grabbed Chen Yang's arm, urging him to stand up and apologize.
However!
At this moment, Zhou Sinian.
Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, Zhou Sinian's expression changed drastically.
He knew it must be because he had offended Chen Yang last time, and Chen Yang had not forgiven him yet!
Cold sweat beaded on Zhou Sinian's forehead.
He quickly pondered, and then thought of his gift.
Zhou Sinian immediately put on a smile, chuckling, "Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Chen might indeed not know me. However, my gratitude towards Mr. Chen has always been kept in my heart. I was wrong last time, and I have come specially to apologize this time. Also, I heard Mr. Chen is getting married, and I don't have anything particularly good as a gift. This bracelet will serve as a meeting gift for Mrs. Chen."
Zhou Sinian immediately took out the jade bracelet.
A fluctuation of spiritual energy was immediately sensed by Chen Yang.
Chen Yang's brow slightly relaxed, and he gave a slight nod.
Seeing Chen Yang's action, Zhou Sinian was so excited he almost knelt down!
Fortunately, fortunately, Chen Yang recognized the value of the item!
He knew that this jade bracelet was a truly good thing!
And it was clear that Chen Yang was happy about him gifting it to his wife.
Zhou Sinian smiled and placed the table in front of Liu Ran. He smiled and said, "Mrs. Chen, please accept it."
Liu Ran stood there, looking at Chen Yang and then at Zhou Sinian, bewildered and not knowing what to do.
Chen Yang then said to Liu Ran, "Accept the bracelet. It will be good for your health, and with this bracelet, the injuries on your face will also recover quickly."
Liu Ran hesitated for a moment, then thanked Zhou Sinian.
Zhou Sinian was overjoyed. He quickly said, "Good, good, thank you, Mrs. Chen, for accepting the gift. I'll toast you, Mr. Chen. I'll drink mine, you take your time!"
Zhou Sinian did not give Chen Yang a chance to refuse and directly downed a large cup of baijiu, a full two liang.
Chen Yang also stood up at this moment, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip.
Zhou Sinian did not dare to linger.
He had now confirmed that Chen Yang had forgiven him.
Then next time, he could ask Chen Yang for treatment!
Zhou Sinian bowed, did not dare to say more, and turned to leave.
In reality, he was completely mistaken.
Chen Yang was not angry with him. To be precise, he had already forgotten about yesterday's events!
To Chen Yang, Zhou Sinian was just an ordinary, insignificant person. Why would he get upset with someone like him?
It was just that Chen Yang truly looked down on Zhou Sinian, so he was too lazy to bother.
Later, Zhou Sinian gave his wife a spiritual energy bracelet.
Chen Yang then agreed to treat him.
Everyone in the hall stood there dumbfounded.
Until Zhou Sinian left, no one reacted.
Everyone was petrified, looking at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang frowned and said, "What are you all standing around for? Aren't you eating?"
"Eat, eat. Hahaha, I never expected Mr. Chen to be the true dragon! My name is Wu Tian, the general manager of Southwest Steel Company. Mr. Chen, I'll toast you. I'll drink mine, you take your time!" A man immediately stepped forward to introduce himself.
The next moment.
With a bang.
Everyone crowded over.
They surrounded Chen Yang tightly, constantly handing out business cards and introducing themselves.
Everyone wanted to show off and make Chen Yang remember them!
And around Yang Long and Liu Xin, there was no one left.
No one paid them any attention!
Yang Long's face turned ashen, and Liu Xin's fingers trembled with anger.
She let out a cold breath, looking at Chen Yang, who was surrounded.
She couldn't accept it, couldn't imagine that her ex-husband, who had always been cowardly and incompetent, was now a hot commodity, the center of attention!
This man, whom she had always looked down upon.
But now, he was surrounded by a halo, adored by everyone!
This was absolutely impossible!
Liu Xin shouted loudly, "Get out of the way! You've all been deceived! Chen Yang is just a delivery boy, a loser. He doesn't deserve you to treat him like this! My husband Yang Long is the real big shot!"
Everyone turned their heads, looking at Liu Xin as if she were an idiot.
"She seems to be Chen Yang's ex-wife. It's likely that after the divorce, she realized Mr. Chen is a hidden powerhouse."
"This woman is truly ridiculous."
"I even went up to toast Yang Long earlier, thinking he could help me connect with Lord Zhou, but I didn't expect him to be a fraud!"
"An absolute fraud!"
A wave of mockery ensued, but they still surrounded Chen Yang.
Chen Yang frowned.
He stood up and said, "Today is the day my wife Liu Ran and I announce our marriage. Thank you all for your blessings, but please, don't come over anymore. Zhou Sinian and I are merely acquaintances. Please don't waste your efforts on me, it's useless."
The crowd naturally ignored him.
Chen Yang was helpless, so he drank a few mouthfuls of wine and dispersed the crowd.
He sat down again.
This time, even Old Madam Liu had changed her tune.
Although she disliked Liu Ran's family,
Now, Liu Ran's husband was someone Zhou Sinian himself had to curry favor with!
This was an excellent opportunity.
The Zhou family was almost on par with the Bai family!
Liu Ran had offended the Bai family by not marrying the young master of the Bai family last time.
If Chen Yang could now establish a connection with Zhou Sinian, it would be very beneficial for the development of the Liu family.
Old Madam Liu looked at Chen Yang with a smile and asked, "Well, son-in-law, are you and Lord Zhou... related? Or are you perhaps the illegitimate son of some powerful figure?"
Liu Ran also looked at Chen Yang with a confused expression, her brow furrowed.
Chen Yang, seeing Liu Ran's gaze, was startled and quickly explained, "Oh, Zhou Sinian and I are indeed acquaintances. Actually, one time I was delivering food, and I happened to encounter Zhou Sinian having an episode by the roadside. I went forward and helped him up. However, Zhou Sinian was a bit dizzy at the time, and he cursed at me, saying I had hit him.
"I was angry at the time and explained a few words. Because I was in a hurry to deliver the food, I left.
"It's likely that this time, Zhou Sinian realized that he had wronged me, which is why he came to this banquet to toast me, apologize, and give Liu Ran the bracelet."
Everyone at the table heard this explanation and suddenly understood.
Liu Xin, on the side, gritted her teeth and said sourly, "Your luck as a loser is quite good. You can meet a benefactor even when delivering food. It's a pity that you are just trash and can't grasp this opportunity for wealth and glory!"
