Chapter 1222 My Apologies for the Poor Hospitality at Jiangshang Mingyue
"You audacious brat, you dare impersonate a distinguished guest of Xuanyun Group? You are utterly shameless."
Young Master Huo was stunned and wholeheartedly agreed with Su Chenglong's statement.
"Don't believe me? How about I call the CEO of Xuanyun Group and have him relay the message to your Jiangshang Mingyue." Chen Xuan said, tapping his chin.
"Call? Go ahead, if you have the nerve, then call." Su Jie was dismissive.
He then turned to Su Chenglong and said, "Young Master Long, let's see how this guy tries to lie his way out of this."
Su Chenglong’s eyes gleamed with amusement, and the others also sized up Chen Xuan, preparing to witness his public humiliation.
"Then you all wait."
Chen Xuan shook his head slightly and took out his phone to call Jiang Ning.
Upon learning of the situation, Jiang Ning immediately made a call to Huo Guangtai, the person in charge of Jiangshang Mingyue. After understanding the whole story, Huo Guangtai rushed to the top floor. On his way, he called Young Master Huo.
"Dad, what's the matter?"
Young Master Huo frowned as he answered the call.
"My son, are you on the top floor?" Huo Guangtai asked directly.
"Yes, there's a minor incident on the top floor, and I'm handling it." Young Master Huo replied.
Naturally, he didn't dare mention that he had secretly allowed Su Chenglong and his group to enter the top floor.
"Do not act rashly. I will be here shortly, and I will handle this personally. Remember, absolutely do not make a move against the live-in son-in-law of the Vermillion Bird lineage." Huo Guangtai said decisively.
Young Master Huo was taken aback and asked doubtfully, "Dad, it's just a small issue. You don't need to come. Su Chenglong from the Su family in the capital is also here, and I can handle it."
"Handle it, my foot! Wait for me to arrive! If you dare to touch the live-in son-in-law of the Vermillion Bird lineage, I'll break your legs!" Huo Guangtai finished speaking and hung up.
Listening to the beeping sound from the phone, Young Master Huo couldn't help but frown. He looked at Chen Xuan with a suspicious gaze. Could this person really be a distinguished guest of Xuanyun Group? Otherwise, why would his father take it so seriously?
"Young Master Huo, what did Uncle Huo say?" Su Chenglong asked.
Young Master Huo looked up at Su Chenglong and truthfully replied, "My dad said not to make any moves and to wait for him to handle it."
Su Chenglong was momentarily stunned, a flicker of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Chen Xuan, although you are a lowly person, you married into the Su family of the Vermillion Bird lineage in the capital. You are still benefiting from the Su family's influence."
"But unfortunately, with me here, I will tell Uncle Huo the truth. Then, Uncle Huo will not show any mercy to you just because of the Su family's name!"
Young Master Huo also understood now. It turned out his father was wary of Chen Xuan's status as the live-in son-in-law of the Vermillion Bird lineage.
However, he could understand. The Huo family was nowhere near as influential as the Su family in the capital. If he didn't have a sister who was a God of War, the Huo family probably wouldn't have even befriended people from the Su family.
"Just wait until Uncle Huo arrives. You'll regret it," Su Chenglong narrowed his eyes and stared at Chen Xuan.
"I'd like to see how I'll regret it,"
Chen Xuan shrugged noncommittally.
Soon, a servant pushed open the door to the private room, and Huo Guangtai stormed in aggressively.
"For such a minor issue, you still came personally." Young Master Huo quickly went to greet him.
Chen Xuan also looked over.
Huo Guangtai was an old man, at least seventy or eighty years old. Judging by his appearance, he looked more like Young Master Huo's grandfather. This was not the case, however; Huo Guangtai had his son late in life, which accounted for the significant age gap between them.
"Minor issue, my foot!" Huo Guangtai cursed.
The Huo family had been established in the capital for many years, and Huo Guangtai had been a prominent figure in the capital's business circles for a long time. He did not fear the newly emerged Xuanyun Group.
However, Xuanyun Group had booked the top floor of Jiangshang Mingyue with a substantial investment, and such an incident had occurred. If it were to spread, it would damage Jiangshang Mingyue's reputation, so he naturally could not take it lightly.
"Dad..."
Young Master Huo felt his face was somewhat disgraced, especially since many of his companions were present.
At this moment, Su Chenglong chuckled and said politely, "Uncle Huo, there's no need to get angry over such a small matter."
"Young Master Long is here too. It's been a long time."
Huo Guangtai greeted Su Chenglong with a smile.
"Uncle Huo, this fellow is the live-in son-in-law of the Vermillion Bird lineage. The Vermillion Bird lineage has only recently returned to the Su family in the capital and may not represent the Su family. Young Master Huo and I are good friends, so Uncle Huo does not need to blame Young Master Huo for this person's sake." Su Chenglong said with a smile.
His words were clear: the Su family in the capital would not bother with a live-in son-in-law, so Huo Guangtai was free to deal with him.
Huo Guangtai had a different idea. Upon hearing this, he was startled. The live-in son-in-law of the Su family's Vermillion Bird lineage in the capital, who had been the subject of much discussion, was actually a honored guest of Xuanyun Group.
Could it be that this live-in son-in-law of the Vermillion Bird lineage was not the useless person rumored to be?
"Thank you for the reminder, Young Master Long."
Huo Guangtai put aside his thoughts and responded.
Hearing this, Huo Chenglong cast a triumphant glance at Chen Xuan.
However, Huo Guangtai then said, "Young Master Long, the top floor has not been vacated by Xuanyun Group yet. Please leave first."
"What?"
Su Chenglong was slightly taken aback and said with a smile, "Alright, then we will leave first. Uncle Huo, there's no need to show mercy to this person."
They should not have been there in the first place, and their presence now was inappropriate. Before leaving, he whispered a few words to Young Master Huo, instructing him to deal with Chen Xuan properly.
Young Master Huo naturally agreed wholeheartedly. Being able to help Su Chenglong of the Su family in the capital was a great opportunity for him.
After Su Chenglong and his group left, Young Master Huo sneered and walked up to Chen Xuan, "Brat, how do you want to die?"
"You should ask your father that."
Chen Xuan placed his wine glass on the table with a bang, completely unfazed, and looked at Huo Guangtai behind him.
"I can handle this minor matter myself!"
Young Master Huo said dismissively with a smile.
"Shut up!"
Suddenly, a cold shout rang out.
Young Master Huo turned his head and saw Huo Guangtai looking at him with a cold smile. "Dad, what do you mean?"
"Look at the mess you've made! You even dared to bring people to the top floor! Do you want Jiangshang Mingyue to lose face? You have disturbed Mr. Chen, and you still haven't apologized to him?" Huo Guangtai said, full of anger and disappointment.
Clearly, these words were blaming Young Master Huo for bringing Su Chenglong and his group to the top floor.
"Dad, you're not saying this person is the distinguished guest invited by the CEO of Xuanyun Group, are you?"
Even if Young Master Huo was slow, he understood Huo Guangtai's meaning.
Huo Guangtai had told him not to make a move earlier not because he was wary of the Su family in the capital, but because Chen Xuan was indeed a distinguished guest of Xuanyun Group.
"Hmph!"
Huo Guangtai did not answer directly. Instead, he cupped his hands and looked at Chen Xuan, "Mr. Chen, I apologize for the poor hospitality at Jiangshang Mingyue. I didn't expect to cause you such great trouble."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and someone brought out a VIP card. "This is Jiangshang Mingyue's diamond VIP card. You can dine here for free three times a month, with a spending limit of two million."
