Chapter 1359: Chapter 1362: An Embarrassment (Extra for ’152...3387’!!!)

Creak!

The car stopped at the entrance of the manor, and Jiang Chen, Spirit You, Ying Zi, Song Wanqiu, and Zhu Yan stepped out.

”Mr. Jiang, Miss Song, Miss Zhu, the banquet has been prepared, please, this way.” Lü Tianjiang extended his hand, gesturing into the manor.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly and stepped into the manor.

Really putting on airs!

I’d like to see how you continue this charade after meeting Supreme Ming Que!

A cold sneer rose in Lü Tianjiang’s heart as he quickened his pace to lead the way.

Huh?

Following Lü Tianjiang toward the banquet hall, they passed through a small grove; Jiang Chen’s brows furrowed slightly as he glanced at it.

”Mr. Jiang, what’s wrong?” Lü Tianjiang noticed Jiang Chen’s unusual behavior and softly asked.

”It’s nothing, just thought of something!” Jiang Chen shook his head lightly and continued walking forward.

Lü Tianjiang narrowed his eyes briefly towards the grove, then resumed leading the way at the front.

Glancing at Lü Tianjiang’s back, Jiang Chen discreetly took out his phone and sent a message.

In the Lyu Family’s banquet hall.

Lü Jianzhong, Supreme Ming Que, Su Yun, and an old man had already taken their seats, leaving six more empty.

”Younger Sister Su, you should feel at home here, and don’t be shy!” The old man said with a light laugh, looking at Supreme Ming Que.

Supreme Ming Que nodded indifferently: ”Old Head of the Lyu Family, I learned something this afternoon, and I haven’t asked Head Su about it, but what’s this I hear about your Lyu Family clashing with Yi Chen? Although I don’t usually pay much attention to business affairs, I’ve heard that Yi Chen wields significant power inland!”

The old man’s name was Lü Mingzeng, and he was the father of Lü Jianzhong.

Upon hearing these words, both Lü Mingzeng and Lü Jianzhong once again breathed a sigh of relief.

If Supreme Ming Que showed absolutely no concern, it would seem rather abnormal. After all, they usually interacted, and there had just been an incident with Lü Tianying this afternoon; even a common friend would show some concern.

”Younger Sister Su, it’s not that our Lyu Family wants to clash with Yi Chen, but Yi Chen is too oppressive. They offered to buy our pharmaceutical company at a price 50% below the market rate—do you think we could agree to that?”

Lü Mingzeng spoke with a somber expression: ”I know Yi Chen is formidable, the leading figure in inland business, but shouldn’t they also be reasonable?”

Supreme Ming Que’s eyes shifted subtly, speaking lightly: ”That does indeed seem a bit oppressive!”

”To my knowledge, Yi Chen Group’s acquisitions of pharmaceutical companies have always been at prices 50% above the market rate, right?” Su Yun frowned, looking at Lü Zengming.

Lü Zengming was slightly startled and chuckled: ”Little Yun, those are all rumors, don’t take them seriously.”

Thump thump thump!

A series of knocks sounded, and Lü Jianzhong called out softly: ”Come in.”

Click!

The door to the banquet hall opened, and Lü Tianjiang led Jiang Chen and the others inside.

Hmm?

Seeing Supreme Ming Que and Su Yun, Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, and then abruptly turned his gaze towards Lü Zengming, his heart giving a fierce shudder.

Lü Zengming looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, then chuckled and nodded his head.

When Su Yun saw Jiang Chen, a flash of joy appeared in her eyes, and her gaze softened as she looked at him.

”Greetings to Supreme Ming Que!” Zhu Yan’s expression changed, and she bent at the waist towards Supreme Ming Que.

”Hmm!”

Supreme Ming Que responded coolly.

Seeing this scene, Lü Jianzhong’s heart leaped with joy, and he stood up to say to Jiang Chen: ”This is the Head of the Jiang Family, right? Please, have a seat!”

Looking uncertainly at Supreme Ming Que and the other, Jiang Chen walked over to the table and took a seat, with Spirit You and the rest sitting down beside him.

Once they were all seated, there were no empty seats left.

”Head of the Jiang Family, allow me to introduce, this is Supreme Ming Que of the Flame Dragon Group, and this is Miss Su Yun, the squad leader of the Kylin Squad in Zhou Yi District of the Flame Dragon Group,” Lü Jianzhong introduced with a meaningful tone.

Jiang Chen nodded lightly and looked at Su Yun and the other person with a light smile: ”Supreme Ming Que, Miss Su, you two...”

”We have nothing left to discuss with you; you should chat with the Family Head of the Lyu Family instead!”

Supreme Ming Que spoke indifferently.

Jiang Chen was taken aback and a look of confusion crossed his face.

Su Yun’s eyes flickered as she spoke softly, ”Head of the Jiang Family, do you remember what happened the first time we met?”

”The first time we met?”

Jiang Chen was slightly startled, then suddenly came to a realization, astonishment apparent in his eyes.

Su Yun let out a slight smile, then immediately returned to her cold demeanor.

”Miss Su knows Mr. Jiang?” Lü Jianzhong looked at Su Yun with curiosity.

Su Yun replied coldly: ”I know him. I almost died the first time we met!”

”Oh!”

Lü Jianzhong’s heart leaped with joy, responding in a low voice.

The corners of Lü Zengming’s mouth curled upwards, and a look of pleasure appeared in his eyes, completely relaxing.

Almost died, that must mean they are mortal enemies!

Click!

Just then, the doors of the banquet hall were opened once again, and Lü Tianfang and Lü Tianying entered the hall, escorted by a man and a woman.

”Pu Minsung? Ms. Jin!?” Jiang Chen looked up in surprise at the two people entering.

The ones who came in with Lü Tianfang and others were none other than Jin Bingyan and her son, Pu Minsung.

”Mr. Jiang?!”

Pu Minsung also looked at Jiang Chen with some surprise.

”Mr. Pu knows him?” Lü Tianfang asked, looking at Pu Minsung with confusion.

Pu Minsung nodded lightly: ”Our company has cooperations with Yi Chen, Longteng, and Jiuzhou.”

”Mr. Pu’s Sangsen Group is an international corporation; it’s normal to have cooperation.”

Lü Jianzhong chuckled as he got up and gestured towards a table with his hand: ”Please take a seat, Mr. Pu.”

As soon as Lü Jianzhong’s words fell, the banquet hall instantly fell into silence.

Only ten chairs were prepared beside the banquet table, and now all were occupied. Lü Jianzhong’s invitation filled the entire hall with an awkward atmosphere.

”Head of the Jiang Family, wouldn’t it be better for your guards to wait outside?”

It seemed that Lü Jianzhong realized something, as he turned to look at Jiang Chen and spoke with a meaningful tone: ”We have arranged a table outside for Mr. Pu’s and Ms. Jin’s guards. Let your guards join them too!”

The corners of Lü Tianjiang’s mouth curled up, revealing a mocking smile.

”Jiang Chen, who do you think you are? Even Mr. Pu’s and Ms. Jin’s guards are dining outside; what makes you think you can bring your guards inside to dine? What status do they have? They should give up their seats for Mr. Pu and Ms. Jin!” Lü Tianfang spoke sharply.

The expressions of both Lü Jianzhong and Lü Tianjiang changed as they glanced at Lü Tianfang, their eyes revealing dissatisfaction.

Indeed, what Lü Jianzhong implied was exactly what Lü Tianfang had said, but implication is one thing, and saying it out loud is another.

However, they didn’t say anything.

In their eyes, they already had an absolute advantage at this moment, and there was no need to save face for Jiang Chen.

Now, the only thing they wanted to do was to embarrass Jiang Chen!
