Chapter 1667: Chen Zhifu’s Motive

If Chen Zhifu triggered Yang Ming’s temper, maybe he would pull Chen Mengyan, turn around and leave. He would not save Chen Zhifu’s face at all. Who was he in Yang Ming’s eyes? What qualifications did he have to order him around?

Did he really think that having a billionaire younger brother enabled him to stand tall in front of everyone? Not to mention him, even if his younger brother Chen Zhiye came in person, Yang Ming still wouldn’t bother.

The billionaires who fell in his hands were not just one or two. From the first Wang Xifan, the big drug lord Dorsk, the Ouyang Family, to General Howton and the Lancer Family. They were all from well-known family backgrounds. But what happened to them in the end?

Moreover, Yang Ming was weaker than Chen Zhiye in terms of wealth. He did not need to save him any face.

It was just that Chen Fei was here now. It didn’t matter if Yang Ming didn’t save face for Chen Zhifu, but leaving along with Chen Mengyan would compromise Chen Fei’s face. Regardless of whether Chen Fei was Chen Mengyan’s father or not, he was a person that Yang Ming had admired all this while. Even without his relationship with Chen Mengyan’s, Chen Fei’s friendship and the help he extended was fresh in Yang Ming’s memories. How could Yang Ming not save face for Chen Fei in public?

He sighed secretly. Along with Chen Mengyan, he followed Chen Zhifu and the others toward the hotel door. Yang Ming lowered his head, fearing that the lobby manager would recognize him. Yang Ming had to guard against Chen Zhifu who had ulterior motives. Who knew what he planned to do later? Hence, he couldn’t reveal his identity first, so that he could be prepared.

In Yang Ming’s view, Chen Zhifu must have a motive since he had done so many things. He even tried to drive Yang Ming away, so his intention and purpose had become even more strange. Yang Ming would be a fool to reveal his background.

However, even if Yang Ming had already lowered his head, how could the hotel’s lobby manager not recognize him? He probably would not have noticed him on typical days. But today, the security captain at the door, Little Wang, had deliberately notified him with a walkie-talkie that Yang Ming was here. How could the lobby manager not be prepared and not pay extra attention?

As soon as Yang Ming walked into the door, the lobby manager came towards Yang Ming with a smile. Yang Ming suddenly felt a shock in his heart. He said in his heart,  This lobby manager’s eyes are too sharp. He can recognize me just like that?

Yang Ming was helpless, but he couldn’t speak up and scold him. So he had to wink to the lobby manager, and signal him not to come over and reveal his identity.

How savvy was the lobby manager? Seeing Yang Ming’s wink, he immediately realized that something was amiss. Previously, there was a similar situation in which Yang Ming winked at him to not reveal his identity. So the lobby manager immediately understood Yang Ming’s intention.

But since he had already walked in that direction, it would be strange if he stopped abruptly. Suddenly, the lobby manager saw Chen Zhifu and Chen Fei next to Yang Ming, and he smiled again.

“Chief Chen, President Chen, the two of you came together. This makes our hotel flourish!” The lobby manager laughed and walked in front of both of them. He no longer glanced at Yang Ming. It was as if his previous enthusiasm was entirely directed toward these two men.

“General Manager Liu, isn’t it our Chen Family Village’s gathering today? Brother Chen Fei is also from our Chen Family Village, don’t you know yet?” Chen Zhifu cleverly pointed out his relationship with Chen Fei. When he knew that this place was owned by Chen Fei’s subsidiary company, he made sure to remember it.

If he pointed out his relationship with Chen Fei, the senior management of the Song Jiang International Hotel would know that he had a connection. Then it would be more convenient in the future. No matter if it was making a reservation or something else, they would probably save him face.

” Oh? Chief Chen is also from Chen Family Village. I really didn’t know that!” General Manager Liu laughed, “It seems that Chen Family Village is really a place where outstanding talents come out!”

” Haha, you can say that!” Chen Zhifu listened to General Manager Liu’s words and his face bloomed with joy immediately. He blatantly agreed to General Manager Liu’s words, and said without blushing at all, “However, what kind of talent am I? Chen Fei and my Brother Chen Zhiye are the true talents. ”

“President Chen, you must be joking. You are one of the top-ranking people in Song Jiang!” General Manager Liu flattered with a smile.

Chen Zhifu felt that his whole body was comfortable. The discomfort brought about by Yang Ming previously also disappeared. However, when he glanced over at Yang Ming, he still frowned. He thought in his heart, Why is there such a big gap between this person and others?

“Well, General Manager Liu, I am still clear of what weight I carry! Anyway, I am barely passable!” Chen Zhifu waved and said, “By the way, General Manager Liu, how many of our Chen Family Village’s guests have arrived? ”

“Quite a few had arrived. I have arranged for the waiter to take them upstairs first,” General Manager Liu said. “President Chen, when do we serve the food?”

“There is no hurry. Let’s wait until my younger brother comes!” Chen Zhifu thought for a while and said to Chen Fei, “Brother Chen Fei, how about you go up with your wife and children first? I will wait here for a while for my brother. He should be arriving soon considering his plane’s arrival at 4:30 pm and the time to travel here. ”

” Oh? Then let’s wait for a while together.” Chen Fei heard that Chen Zhiye would be here soon. It would be inappropriate if he went directly upstairs alone, so he decided to wait with Chen Zhifu, “Well, I haven’t seen Chen Zhiye and his son, Chen Xiaolong for several years. I remember that he seemed to be in Mengyan’s class at the time? ”

“Yeah, that child Xiaolong is not bad. He excelled in his character and his studies. Now he has been admitted to South A University. He is an outstanding student!” Chen Zhifu boasted for his nephew. In fact, how could Chen Xiaolong be admitted to South A University on his own merits? It was Chen Zhiye who spent a large amount of sponsorship fees to send Chen Xiaolong to the joint college of South A University. However, Chen Zhifu said it was South A University to outsiders.

This so-called joint college was a school jointly established by a regular college and a private enterprise. However, there was still a gap in terms of the graduation certificate. This was quite similar to the branch of the Song Jiang University of Technology that Zhang Bing studied in at that time.

” Hehe. Since that’s the case, I will have to prepare some meal ticket money for this child, Chen Xiaolong, in a while!” Chen Fei smiled. He said in his heart,  I can take this opportunity to return the favor of the previous one thousand yuan.

“Yeah, that reminds me. Xiaolong hasn’t been back for a long time. I haven’t given him his meal ticket money yet. Let’s give it together later!” Chen Zhifu didn’t show any negative expression when Chen Fei suggested giving meal ticket money. In his opinion, if Chen Fei could give Chen Xiaolong meal ticket money, it would show the closeness between the two.

Chen Mengyan frowned at the side while Yang Ming looked expressionless. He watched Chen Zhifu perform there by himself with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Yang Ming was almost certain now. The whole thing tonight probably had something to do with Chen Xiaolong. Although Yang Ming felt that it was strange that Chen Xiaolong was still infatuated with Chen Mengyan after such a long time, Chen Zhifu’s every word was mostly related to Chen Mengyan and Chen Xiaolong. This clearly highlighted the problem.

However, Yang Ming was not afraid of any tricks that Chen Zhifu could use. Whether it was Chen Zhifu or Chen Zhiye, they were nothing in Yang Ming’s eyes. Although it was impossible for Yang Ming to kill them in public, it was possible to teach them some lessons. Especially Chen Xiaolong…

Of course, Yang Ming’s sneering gaze was not noticed by Chen Zhifu. Instead, Chen Mengyan was very sensitive to Yang Ming’s every move. She realized the disdainful demeanor in Yang Ming’s eyes, and suddenly she felt peaceful. Chen Mengyan also had some confidence since Yang Min was around.

Otherwise, Chen Mengyan was really afraid of facing Chen Xiaolong because of the event that year. Chen Mengyan didn’t tell her parents or others about that past event. Besides Yang Ming and Li Dagang, only Chen Xiaolong himself knew about it.

This incident had left Chen Mengyan with psychological trauma for a long time. Although it had faded now, it was not guaranteed that she would not have negative emotions when she saw Chen Xiaolong again. However, with Yang Ming by her side, Chen Mengyan was no longer afraid.

Chen Zhifu and Chen Fei were chatting casually about Chen Zhiye and Chen Xiaolong. Suddenly the hotel’s door opened. Two young men in black suits rushed in and held the curtains…

This scene shocked everyone in the hotel lobby. The people who had no idea thought that they had encountered robbery gangsters, but the security guards at the door had obviously checked these people’s identity clearly. Otherwise, they could not enter so casually.

So although the general manager of the lobby, General Manager Liu, was slightly frightened, he restored his composure in no time. Although this kind of scene was not common, it was not that it never happened. Some super-rich or high-status people and celebrities would have bodyguards to clear the road ahead of them.

Chapter 1668: Welcome

This situation meant that someone important was coming.

Sure enough, after two bodyguards separated the curtains, a middle-aged man in a white evening attire walked into the hotel alongside a very trendy looking young man.

When he saw the people who entered, Chen Zhifu was stunned at first, then immediately full of joy. He fastened his pace and approached them, “Zhiye, Xiaolong, are you here? That’s amazing!”

“Brother!” This well-dressed middle-aged man in a white evening attire turned out to be Chen Zhiye! Judging from his style and appearance, he was no different from the celebrities in upper society. He even walked with a trace of majesty, full of style.

The young man beside him was naturally Chen Xiaolong. Chen Xiaolong’s attire was quite trendy. Like trendy people nowadays, he wore branded clothes and accessories all over his body. He even styled his hair. People could see at a glance that he was a young master and pampered son of a rich family.

“Uncle!” Chen Xiaolong saw the uncle whom he hadn’t seen in years and greeted him quickly. However, after saying hello, his eyes began to drift across the hotel lobby, as if he was looking for something!

Previously, Chen Zhifu had secretly texted him and told him that Chen Mengyan was also waiting for them in the lobby. So when Chen Xiaolong came in, he began to look for Chen Mengyan.

Suddenly, there was a pleasant look in Chen Xiaolong’s eyes. He found Chen Mengyan! After not seeing her for many years, he found that Chen Mengyan had become even more beautiful and pretty. Compared with her former young and inexperienced self, Chen Mengyan was now like a flower in full-bloom, delicate and alluring.

“Chen Mengyan!” Chen Xiaolong no longer bothered about his father and Chen Zhifu beside him. He quickly walked towards Chen Mengyan, and put on a look that he thought was handsome and stylish.

Chen Xiaolong was not ugly. In fact, he was rather cool, especially after deliberately dressing up. In addition, he was dressed in clothes and accessories from famous brands. When he was in the south, he attracted the attention of many girls.

Chen Xiaolong had changed from one girlfriend to another many times over the years, but it was just for fun. He had a special liking for Chen Mengyan in his heart. This was probably because the things that could not be obtained were always the best. The more he was surrounded by beauties, the more he wanted to get Chen Mengyan!

So, this time when he returned to Song Jiang, he seemed like a possessed demon and vowed to conquer Chen Mengyan for sure. So when he saw Chen Mengyan at this time, his eyes turned googly. Chen Xiaolong sighed in his heart, The women who I played with over these years were too shabby. Ordinary women, ah, ordinary women. Compared to Chen Mengyan, there is a great difference!

Mengyan is the perfect girlfriend candidate. Those previous low-graders, get lost. It will be impossible for me to look at them again in the future!

“Chen Mengyan, long time no see. You are getting more and more beautiful!” Chen Xiaolong walked in front of Chen Mengyan, made a look that he thought was quite handsome, and said to Chen Mengyan leisurely. Then, he took out a small gift box out of nowhere and handed it to Chen Mengyan, “A little gift of meeting. Please don’t mind it!”

Chen Mengyan was extremely disgusted with Chen Xiaolong in her heart. No matter how stylish he looked, he was just a detestable person in Chen Mengyan’s eyes. She would not look at him if there was no need to!

Even though he was bedecked with famous brands, Chen Mengyan did not bother at all, and even felt it was too showy. Chen Mengyan’s brows furrowed when she saw that he had presented her with a gift as soon as he saw her. “Chen Xiaolong, I can’t take the gift as we’re not close with each other. So I’ll accept the kind intention, but keep the gift.”

Chen Mengyan replied indifferently, but did not reach out to pick up the small gift box.

“It’s okay, it’s just a little gift. It’s worth nothing!” While Chen Xiaolong was saying this, he wanted to reach out to grab Chen Mengyan’s hand and stuff the gift box into her palm, “It’s just a ten thousand yuan watch. It’s quite ordinary!”

Chen Xiaolong took it for granted that Chen Mengyan would accept this gift after hearing its value. In his opinion, most girls love money, and Chen Mengyan would obviously be no exception!

Chen Fei was the bureau chief, but he was more honorable in status. It was impossible for him to have a lot of money at home. So Chen Mengyan would definitely be excited when he gifted her this. This was also his experience of picking up girls for many years. As long as he made a move on the girls whom he liked in bars and schools, very few were uncompromising under the temptation of his money.

Therefore, with this experience of being successful in every endeavor, Chen Xiaolong thought that he was already a master of love. In the face of his money, Chen Mengyan should be an easy catch.

“Mengyan already has a watch. You can take this back. If you really can’t give it out, send it to charity.” Yang Ming coldly said as he stretched out his hand, blocking Chen Xiaolong from grabbing Chen Mengyan’s hand.

Chen Xiaolong was shocked when he heard Yang Ming’s words all of a sudden, and he looked around only to find Yang Ming beside Chen Mengyan! Before this, his entire gaze and mind were attracted by Chen Mengyan, so he did not pay attention to the people around her at all.

Chen Xiaolong felt this voice sounded familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had heard it before. Frowning and raising his head, Chen Xiaolong searched for the source of the voice. Suddenly, Chen Xiaolong saw the owner of the voice, and he was obviously startled!

“Yang Ming? Are you Yang Ming?” Chen Xiaolong looked at Yang Ming in astonishment, wondering, “Why are you here?”

“Chen Mengyan is my girlfriend, so why can’t I be here?” Yang Ming glanced at Chen Xiaolong coldly, with a hint of warning in his words, “So you better behave. Chen Mengyan does not want your stuff. ”

Under Yang Ming’s threat, Chen Xiaolong took two steps back subconsciously. The psychological trauma that Yang Ming had inflicted upon him in the past was too serious. He was beaten up almost the entire time when he was in Grade 11 in high school.

However, Chen Xiaolong quickly realized, No, why should I be afraid of him now? Now that everyone is an adult, the school fights and beatings simply won’t work anymore!

In this age, whoever has money and status will be the boss. You, Yang Ming, are just a social scumbag. How can you be compared with me? I am a rich prodigal child! My dad is Chen Zhiye! So what if you can fight? I have bodyguards! No matter how good you are at fighting, I will let my two bodyguards fight with you alone. By then, won’t your teeth be scattered all over the place?

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaolong suddenly felt confident, and he glared at Yang Ming, “Yang Ming, who are you? Chen Mengyan will decide whether she wants my things. What does it have to do with you? You are her boyfriend? I’m not afraid to tell you how many chicks with boyfriends have thrown themselves into my arms! ”

Yang Ming heard Chen Xiaolong’s words and almost laughed out loud. Is this guy stupid? How can you say that? Not to mention that it is absolutely impossible for Chen Mengyan to like you, even if she is interested in your watch, it is impossible for her to express anything after you said that!

“I have a watch, and I don’t need yours, okay?” Chen Mengyan glanced at Chen Xiaolong in disgust. She was tired of even saying a word, but she couldn’t help but speak up at this time. So Chen Mengyan reluctantly explained in one sentence.

“Do you have a watch? How much is it? Ten yuan? Twenty yuan?” Chen Xiaolong glanced at the watch on Chen Mengyan’s wrist, “That watch is only a few hundred yuan. Don’t you feel cheap wearing this watch?”

“…” Yang Ming was a little speechless. It seemed that Chen Xiaolong’s way of picking up girls would only attract low-grade gold diggers and little celebrities. Women who were of a slightly higher standard would not be with him.

“Chen Xiaolong, after so many years, have you forgotten the pain of being beaten by me?” Yang Ming glanced at Chen Xiaolong and said lightly, “Or do you think that I dare not beat you now?”

“Beat me? Hahahaha !” Chen Xiaolong seemed to have heard the funniest words, “Why don’t you try to touch me? Do you think it’s the same as high school? If you dare to touch me, my dad’s bodyguards will kill you! ”
