Lu Chen said these words with a smile, but for some reason Xia Qingjing suddenly shivered. In front of her eyes appeared a winding river of blood.
It felt as if Lu Chen’s words came from the bone-filled hell of the underworld, making people shudder with fear.
Chen Chao stared fixedly at Lu Chen.
It was Lu Chen again. It was always him.
No matter where he went this person seemed to oppose him. Now he had even managed to win over a stunning beauty like Xia Qingjing.
But Chen Chao soon gave a cold laugh. First of all, in Chen Chao’s mind Lu Chen was just an ordinary teacher.
Even if Lu Chen had connections with some big shots in Tongzhou, so what?
Because right now Lu Chen had stolen the woman of Young Master Chu Yunhao from the Chu family.
The Chu family held absolute power across the whole of Haidong. They were a colossal force that even the Ye family had to fear.
Chu Yunhao was the grandson most favoured by the old master of the Chu family. He was a famous young master throughout Haidong Province.
Earlier Chen Chao had wanted Chu Yunhao to deal with Lu Chen for him. Now it was perfect. Lu Chen had directly offended Chu Yunhao to death.
The status of the Chu family in Haidong was similar to that of the Ye family in Tongzhou. Having provoked such a great family, Chen Chao wanted to see exactly how Lu Chen would die.
Chu Yunhao clenched his fist. Looking at the two people leaning together, the killing intent in his eyes was obvious.
What kind of person was he, Chu Yunhao?
He had never failed to get anything he wanted. Previously he had taken a fancy to a foreign star and his grandfather had got her for him. Yet now he had suffered a loss with Xia Qingjing.
At this moment Chen Chao quietly whispered a few words in Chu Yunhao’s ear. Chu Yunhao’s face immediately showed a mocking expression.
With just a few short sentences Chen Chao had revealed Lu Chen’s background to Chu Yunhao.
After learning about Lu Chen’s background, Chu Yunhao naturally saw him as nothing more than an ant, far beneath him.
He could crush such an ant with a casual flick of his finger.
Besides, anyone with eyes could see that Xia Qingjing had deliberately brought Lu Chen as a shield. If Lu Chen really tried to compete with him for a woman, it was simply unrealistic.
Or rather, Chu Yunhao had never taken Lu Chen seriously at all.
“I wonder which family this brother belongs to?” Another young man beside Chu Yunhao spoke up at this time.
He was called Wang Junxi. His father was a famous shipping tycoon in Haidong with assets worth over a billion. It counted as a true wealthy family.
This also made Wang Junxi usually very arrogant and look down on ordinary people, since he himself was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
“Lu family from Yongji County.” Lu Chen suppressed the killing intent in his heart and replied.
“Truly a pleasure to hear such a renowned name. So it is the Lu family from Yongji County.” Wang Junxi said, especially stressing the words Yongji County.
Anyone with sense could tell he was mocking Lu Chen.
This also made Xia Qingjing feel slightly embarrassed.
“Hello, I am Wang Junxi. My father is the shipping boss of Haidong. Our family has assets worth over a billion. We have some wealth.” Wang Junxi said proudly.
“You are here to help me show off. Will you die if you brag a bit?” Xia Qingjing reminded Lu Chen beside her.
“Hello, I am Lu Chen. I have assets worth several tens of billions in my own hands.” Lu Chen said.
“Pfft.”
“A pleasure, a pleasure. So you are a big shot worth tens of billions. Please excuse my lack of respect.” Wang Junxi laughed.
Chen Chao and Chu Yunhao also shook their heads and laughed. What a complete idiot.
Zhou Xuefei, who had just walked over, rolled her eyes hard. Tens of billions?
If you can boast so well, why do you not fly up to heaven?
Even Xia Qingjing was stunned by Lu Chen’s words and her face turned red at once.
She had told him to brag, but he should not break the cow’s hide. Tens of billions at home?
Are you joking with me?
In truth Lu Chen was not boasting. A single house in Panlong Bay was worth over ten million.
Even at ten million each, several hundred houses there really added up to tens of billions. He had not even counted the villas worth a hundred million each behind them.
“Do not make the atmosphere so stiff. Everyone should go and eat first.” Zhou Xuefei came over at this time to smooth things over, but a trace of disdain still flashed in her eyes when she looked at Lu Chen.
Although she was Xia Qingjing’s best friend, she had no good feelings towards Lu Chen at all. Did this person not know his own limits?
Anyone with eyes could see that Chu Yunhao and Xia Qingjing made a perfect match.
Lu Chen was far inferior to Chu Yunhao.
And he actually dared to boast in front of them?
Their family truly had tens of billions.
Xia Qingjing gave Zhou Xuefei a grateful look, then glared at Lu Chen.
Chu Yunhao and Zhou Xuefei walked in front, while Xia Qingjing and Lu Chen walked behind.
This was a magnificently decorated hotel with a Western restaurant on the second floor.
Chu Yunhao had originally arranged to confess to Xia Qingjing here, but after this disruption he lost all interest.
The meal was tasteless. Everyone had their own thoughts. During the meal, when Xia Qingjing went to the restroom, Chu Yunhao finally found his chance.
“Lu Chen, right? If you leave now I can pretend nothing happened.” Chu Yunhao said with a cold smile as he held his wine glass and took a sip by himself.
Lu Chen sat there calmly and pretended not to hear.
“Good, very good. I will make you regret coming into this world.” Chu Yunhao said fiercely when he saw Lu Chen completely ignore him.
He, Chu Yunhao, was not someone easy to provoke. Once offended, the consequences would be endless suffering.
Chen Chao watched from the side with continuous cold laughs.
Compared with a true wealthy family like Chu Yunhao, Lu Chen was worth less than nothing.
Once Chu Yunhao decided to deal with Lu Chen, Lu Chen would die without even a scrap left.
Only Zhou Xuefei tugged at Lu Chen’s sleeve at this moment and spoke softly.
“We can all see that you and Qingqing are probably not boyfriend and girlfriend. I advise you to withdraw quickly now and apologise to Young Master Chu. Otherwise you will face enormous trouble.”
“You are not on the same level as us at all. If you continue like this, even the Heavenly King himself could not save you. I already warned you before.”
But Lu Chen still pretended not to hear. Zhou Xuefei glared at him. Since this person did not know how to appreciate kindness, then let him seek his own death.
She had already warned Lu Chen before. Even being friends with Xia Qingjing was something Lu Chen was not qualified for in her eyes.
Sitting here now meant he was setting himself against Chu Yunhao.
When Xia Qingjing returned, Chu Yunhao spoke up.
“Qingqing, your boyfriend is truly generous. He claims to be worth tens of billions. No wonder you look down on me, Chu Yunhao.”
Chu Yunhao not only liked Xia Qingjing, but also needed to obtain her because of certain family matters.
Even if Xia Qingjing had another man, he still had to have her.
So he continued to mock, but his mockery was aimed at Lu Chen.
“Not bad. Anyway it is just about enough to support me.”
Xia Qingjing deliberately took Lu Chen’s arm and said this, which immediately made Chu Yunhao a little embarrassed.
“Ahem. I say, Teacher Lu, we are acquaintances after all. In school your monthly salary is questionable whether it can even reach eight thousand. How did you suddenly become worth tens of billions?” Chen Chao said in a strange and sarcastic tone at this moment.
“Maybe we are just not that familiar.” Lu Chen’s words directly left Chen Chao speechless. “I just heard Chen Chao say your boyfriend knows some martial arts. How about we have a little spar?”
