Eat or not? Luo Chen looked at Jiang Tongran.
Give it to them. Take a quick sip and leave. I am telling you that bottle of wine costs about eight thousand dollars per glass. Drink it quickly. Jiang Tongran handed a glass to Han Feiyu.
Han Feiyu drank it in one gulp. Then the group took a few bites of the big lobster. Just then someone came from afar.
Run quickly. Han Feiyu shouted. If they were discovered stealing food, their lives might be over.
Jiang Tongran looked at Luo Chen with worry. Luo Chen gave her a reassuring look, and only then did Jiang Tongran leave in a hurry.
The person who came was none other than Xia Xinxin. Xia Xinxin looked at the wine in front of Luo Chen with some curiosity.
Do you recognise this wine? Luo Chen asked Xia Xinxin.
Xia Xinxin looked at it for a long time and shook her head in confusion because she was not entirely sure.
Luo Chen looked in the direction Jiang Tongran had left and the corner of his mouth curved into a strange smile.
Xia Xinxin did not recognise it, but Jiang Tongran recognised the wine at a glance. What more needed to be said?
Shall we go play poker? After walking around for a few rounds, Xia Xinxin still could not bear to leave Luo Chen alone, so she came back to find him.
Luo Chen nodded and walked towards a special room in the manor.
Luo Chen actually quite liked poker, or rather he had no interest in gambling at all.
So he casually accompanied Xia Xinxin to play there.
Of course Luo Chen did not win a single round.
Xia Xinxin kept winning, which made her extremely happy.
Afterwards she simply shook dice with Luo Chen alone. However Luo Chen clearly lacked interest. Xia Xinxin had already won tens of thousands from him.
In his ears came the chatting voices of some rich young masters from prominent families.
My dad finally met Master Zhang this time. You have no idea. My dad is quite a figure in Haidong, but after meeting Master Zhang, just that aura alone made my dad break out in cold sweat.
Master Zhang is the kind of person with rumours that he is no longer an ordinary mortal. Not to mention Haidong, you would be hard pressed to find a few like him in the whole country.
Yes. If one is fortunate enough to receive guidance from Master Zhang, it would be like a carp leaping through the dragon gate.
Nonsense. Even a prominent figure like my dad in Haidong finds it extremely difficult to meet Master Zhang once, let alone receive his guidance. A person like that, who can be called a living immortal, how could we possibly climb that high?
Apart from the living Buddhas in Tibet, I am afraid no one in this world can compare with him.
Xia Xinxin could not help but sigh softly when she heard the discussions around them.
That Master Zhang, who shook the upper levels of Haidong, had a mysterious background, but his methods were almost mythical. Not to mention the top ten prominent families of Haidong, even the four dominant families that could be called the overlords of Haidong held Master Zhang in the highest esteem.
He was simply an existence above ten thousand people.
If the Xia family could also receive even the slightest help from Master Zhang, I would be willing no matter how great the price. Xia Xinxin said silently in her heart.
Because the rise and fall of several major families was almost entirely in the hands of Master Zhang.
With just one word from Master Zhang, who in the entire Haidong Province would dare to disobey?
It is a pity that our Xia family has shallow fortune and thin fate, and cannot have the honour of knowing Master Zhang. Xia Xinxin sighed to Luo Chen.
Why know him? There was a trace of disdain in Luo Chen’s tone.
But Xia Xinxin suddenly sank her face.
I hope this is the first and last time you say such words, because a person like that, one wrong sentence from you could bring enormous disaster. Xia Xinxin warned Luo Chen.
But Luo Chen just smiled indifferently, shook his head in strong disagreement and said.
Even if he stood in front of me, I could say it to his face and he would not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
You, Luo Chen, do not think that just because you know people from the Wang family you can feel smug and think you are something great. You must know there are always people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens. A person like Master Zhang is beyond what you can imagine.
Even the Wang family would not dare to offend Master Zhang. Luo Chen, you are too arrogant.
Luo Chen saw that he and Xia Xinxin were not on the same level, so he did not continue talking with her.
Xia Xinxin saw that Luo Chen still held that disdainful attitude towards Master Zhang and could not help shaking her head and sighing. Even the Wang family, Chu family, Jiang family and Yang family all treated Master Zhang like a living Buddha and worshipped him.
Yet Luo Chen actually dared to show disdain towards Master Zhang?
This kind of blind and arrogant conceit had reached a certain level. The goodwill that Luo Chen had barely built in Xia Xinxin’s heart yesterday by securing that contract vanished instantly.
People who are so arrogant and conceited often end up extremely miserable.
Moreover this made Luo Chen appear even more ignorant and shallow in experience, with too low a level.
Just as Xia Xinxin prepared to lecture Luo Chen a few more times, Luo Chen suddenly turned his gaze to the distance.
Luo Chen actually saw an acquaintance here.
Chu Yunhao.
Luo Chen did not see Wang Junxi, but Chu Yunhao walked in slowly. Beside Chu Yunhao was another young master from a rich family.
Clearly Chu Yunhao had also seen Luo Chen and was stunned. He had not expected Luo Chen to be here.
Moreover seeing Luo Chen with Xia Xinxin again, he felt somewhat astonished.
But clearly Chu Yunhao planned to pretend not to know Luo Chen. After all his arm was still wrapped in bandages.
He had lost so much face in front of Luo Chen before. How could he greet him at this time.
On the other hand Xia Xinxin’s expression also became somewhat unpleasant when she saw Chu Yunhao.
In fact Xia Xinxin had liked Chu Yunhao before, but after learning about his character she gave up.
Chu Yunhao had then changed his target to her elder sister Xia Jingqing. Several years ago the Xia family and Chu family had even planned a marriage alliance.
At that time Xia Jingqing and Chu Yunhao had already been engaged, but later Xia Jingqing forcefully broke it off.
This matter made the two families very unhappy.
At that time Xia Jingqing felt disheartened and planned to go elsewhere.
After graduation, Xia Jingqing really went to Tongzhou.
But this matter could not be blamed on Xia Jingqing, because breaking the engagement was also Xia Yuanwu’s intention. The Chu family had planned to use the marriage to swallow the Xia family.
How could Xia Yuanwu agree?
So the two families had been unhappy, and naturally Xia Xinxin showed no good expression towards Chu Yunhao.
But the young master beside Chu Yunhao could not be ignored by Xia Xinxin.
Because the other party was from another major prominent family, the Yang family.
If not for Luo Chen’s appearance, without accident Xia Xinxin should have been marrying the young master in front of her.
Young Master Yang, Yang Shaotian.
Mentioning this name, probably everyone in Haidong Province knew it. He had been extremely intelligent since childhood, won first place in the province multiple times during school, and was a nationally famous top scorer in both liberal arts and sciences.
Originally this guy was recommended for admission to Yanjing University, but he did not like studying. After high school he started his own business. In less than a year he built a company worth one hundred million from nothing.
Moreover his father was a famous real estate tycoon in Haidong, and his mother was a well known financial president. In the business world, the Yang family was known for producing geniuses.
Most importantly he had an uncle at the vice ministerial level in the provincial department.
And he was tall, handsome, rich, talented, with unlimited future prospects.
Such a man was the dream lover of all Haidong girls or daughters of prominent families. Naturally Xia Xinxin was no exception.
