Chapter 84 Buying a Suit
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow.
He was rather surprised that the Patriarch of the Yu family was willing to come and find him personally.
However, he soon understood. The Yu family was involved in the pharmaceutical industry, held shares in Yishen Pharmaceutical, and had a considerable position in the medical field.
It was normal for the Yu family to want to use him, someone who had been dubbed the "Immortal Doctor" at some point, to develop their pharmaceutical business. After all, everyone wanted money.
"If the Yu family knew you were that Immortal Doctor, they wouldn't dare to be so arrogant now!" Black Tiger grumbled. "They'd be begging you to see them."
Clearly, he was aware of the recent conflicts between the Yu family and Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan frowned and asked, "Is the identity of Immortal Doctor that significant? Can it make the Yu family wary?"
"The word on the street is that with your alchemy skills, you could rally enough support to dominate the entire pharmaceutical industry. The Yu family, as powerful as they are, wouldn't dare to go against the entire industry."
Black Tiger said proudly. Noticing Chen Xuan's silence, he asked, "Are you agreeing to see the Yu family?"
"Not for now," Chen Xuan stated definitively.
Black Tiger understood. The conflict between Chen Xuan and the Yu family was irreconcilable.
After hanging up the phone, Black Tiger arrived at the villa shortly after and left with the pills from Chen Xuan.
Just as Chen Xuan returned to the villa, he received a call from Su Yunxi.
"Chen Xuan, Yishen Pharmaceutical has been too busy lately, I'm afraid I won't have time to go suit shopping with you," Su Yunxi said, her voice tinged with fatigue.
Chen Xuan smiled upon hearing Su Yunxi's apologetic tone. "It's fine, I can go by myself. It's just buying a suit."
"No, how can a man pick out clothes properly? This can't be rushed. How about this, I'll have a good friend help you pick out clothes," Su Yunxi insisted.
Chen Xuan heard Su Yunxi's apparent emphasis on the matter but didn't think much of it, asking, "Your friend?"
"My bestie," she replied.
"Uh, okay."
Chen Xuan hesitated slightly but agreed.
He had rarely worn a suit in his life. Li Jiajia had never bought him clothes before; he used to wear clothes he'd picked up from street stalls or the uniforms issued by the security team.
Buying a suit was practically unheard of.
"She's driving over now and should be here soon. She'll call you when she arrives," Su Yunxi said before hanging up.
However, before ending the call, Su Yunxi added with a hint of worry, "My friend is a bit mischievous. You'd better not believe everything she says."
After Chen Xuan washed up and changed into clean clothes, his phone rang.
He picked up his phone and looked at the unfamiliar number on the screen, his brow furrowing.
Here already?
"I'm arriving at your villa immediately."
When he answered, a soft, charming voice came through the line, completely different from Su Yunxi's style, but with the same pleasing quality.
Chen Xuan suddenly felt the voice was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, though he couldn't recall where. He nodded and said, "Oh, I'll be right out."
After hanging up, Chen Xuan felt a bit curious. Who was Su Yunxi's best friend? He didn't think he had ever met Su Yunxi's friends.
As he pondered this, Chen Xuan walked out of the villa and saw a sky-blue Lamborghini parked by the roadside. A woman in a floral dress sat in the driver's seat.
She was tall, with exquisite makeup and a beautiful smile.
Her long, wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders, adding a touch of charm to her beautiful face.
"You?"
Chen Xuan stared at the woman, stunned for several seconds, even doubting if he was seeing correctly.
He looked around for a few more seconds, confirming there were no other cars waiting, and then accepted he hadn't mistaken.
Chen Xuan's gaze then fixed on the woman again.
This woman was none other than Murong Meng, the auctioneer from Tianyuan Auction House!
"Mr. Chen, we meet again," Murong Meng said with a brilliant smile, her charming aura fully displayed.
Chen Xuan chuckled wryly, "I didn't expect you to be Su Yunxi's best friend. Doesn't Young Master Zhou know? He's admired you for a long time."
Murong Meng pouted, "He pursued me before and kept sending me flowers. I found him annoying, so I told Yunxi not to tell him."
Chen Xuan couldn't help but laugh at the thought. If Zhou Tiancheng knew the truth, his heart would probably shatter.
"Get in!"
"Alright."
Seeing it was an acquaintance, Chen Xuan felt no restraint and quickly got into the car.
"Buckle up, I'm driving," Murong Meng said, starting the engine and slowly pulling away.
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Miss Murong, were you helping me with the situation at Liuhezhai last time because of Yunxi?"
"Of course not,"
Murong Meng pursed her lips, her alluring red lips forming a seductive smile. In a voice filled with temptation, she asked, "What if I told you it was all because of you? How would you repay me?"
She leaned slightly to the side, and from Chen Xuan's angle, her considerable curves were faintly visible.
Chen Xuan gasped, his expression somewhat dazed, his face flushing slightly as he stammered, "I..."
Murong Meng burst into laughter, "You don't think I'm interested in you, do you?"
Chen Xuan snapped back to reality. He immediately saw his slightly embarrassed reflection in the rearview mirror. Seeing Murong Meng laughing heartily, her chest heaving like waves, he gritted his teeth.
No wonder Yunxi had warned him so carefully. It turned out this woman was a siren.
Chen Xuan resolved to keep his distance from her.
Murong Meng chuckled, "I'm just teasing you. It was half and half, really. You helped me during the auction, after all, and Zhou Tiancheng is Yunxi's cousin."
Chen Xuan felt that this statement was quite reasonable.
Soon, they arrived at a massive commercial complex – Jiangzhou's shopping paradise, a gathering place for luxury brands!
Murong Meng was clearly no stranger to such places and expertly led Chen Xuan to a designer suit shop.
Half an hour later, in front of the fitting room mirror.
Chen Xuan, dressed in a high-end gray suit and gleaming new leather shoes, looked surprisingly natural!
Combined with his sharp, handsome face, it added a touch of mysterious maturity.
The female sales assistant beside him had stars in her eyes when she looked at Chen Xuan.
Even Murong Meng, who was almost immune to handsome men, couldn't help but linger her gaze on Chen Xuan for a few extra seconds.
Murong Meng thought to herself, "No wonder that discerning girl Su Yunxi chose this man. She must see his potential. Tsk, tsk, I should have made a move earlier. Even if he's a bit poor, he'd make a good kept man."
At this moment, Chen Xuan's voice broke Murong Meng's reverie.
"Miss Murong, how is this suit? Is it suitable for the shareholder meeting?"
Chen Xuan looked at his reflection in the mirror, unaccustomed to wearing a suit. He felt a bit strange and fiddled with his tie, speaking with some uncertainty.
Murong Meng, startled back to reality, coughed lightly, her face tinged with a blush. She ignored Chen Xuan and said to the sales assistant, "Pack it up!"
With that, Murong Meng left the shop.
Chen Xuan blinked, unsure why Murong Meng was acting this way. However, he felt many people were looking at him and felt uncomfortable. He quickly went into the changing room and changed back into his own clothes, feeling much better.
He then waited in the shop for Murong Meng to return.
At this moment, Chen Xuan took out his phone and saw a call from his former sister-in-law, Li Xin.
He had previously blocked Li Xin's number but had later unblocked it.
He furrowed his brow. Why was she calling him?
Upon closer inspection, he saw that Li Xin had called him about ten times. Could something have happened to the Li family?
So, Chen Xuan called Li Xin back, and she answered quickly.
"Li Xin, what's the matter with your call?" Chen Xuan asked.
"Sister... Chen Xuan, Grandpa is seriously ill," Li Xin said, choking back tears.
