Chapter 19 An Apology

Jiang Zhenlin was stunned by these words, and he looked at Chen Xiao with vicious eyes.

This kid, was he never going to end?

However, knowing that he was in the wrong, he smiled obsequiously for Old Xu’s sake, and said:

"Hehe, that was just a joke, Mr. Chen, don't take it seriously. Jiangxin Pavilion is open for business, how could there be such a rule!"

Before Chen Xiao could react, Song Anran spoke first.

"A joke? You didn't say that just now, Jiang Zhenlin. Admit when you're wrong, you owe Chen Xiao an apology!"

Jiang Zhenlin's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said through gritted teeth, "You want me to apologize to him?"

He was Jiang Zhenlin, the eldest grandson of the Jiang family. He had never apologized to anyone in his life.

What's more, it was to a nobody like Chen Xiao!

Qi Tianhu snorted ruthlessly, "Chen Xiao is a VIP of Old Xu and me, isn't that enough to warrant an apology from you?"

Although Old Xu didn't speak, the look in his eyes towards Jiang Zhenlin was obviously full of amusement.

Jiang Zhenlin's face changed again and again.

He thought to himself, who exactly is this kid?

To be able to get the support of both Qi Tianhu and Old Xu at the same time, it seems that I underestimated him!

Qi Tianhu and Old Xu, plus Song Anran.

Under the triple pressure, Jiang Zhenlin was sweating profusely and had to bow his head.

He cupped his fist in salute: "Miss Song is right, I do owe Mr. Chen an apology. I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, please forgive me!"

Once Jiang Zhenlin apologized, Chen Xiao couldn't continue to attack.

"Let's go in."

Chen Xiao ignored Jiang Zhenlin and walked towards the entrance.

He left Jiang Zhenlin standing there, humiliating him in public.

As the crowd walked away, the expression on Jiang Zhenlin's face became more and more ferocious.

Wei Ranqiu and Ye Gucheng came over.

"Lao Jiang, you actually apologized to that trash in front of so many people?"

Wei Ranqiu was furious, as if he was the one who had been hurt the most.

Jiang Zhenlin said with a grim smile:

"It's just an apology, it won't do anything. Tonight, everything is for the sake of the bigger picture. Anyway, that kid is from Jiang City, after tonight, we can slowly play with him!"

Wei Ranqiu was puzzled: "What exactly is the bigger picture? Lao Jiang, can you stop keeping us in suspense? You're going to drive me crazy!"

Jiang Zhenlin smiled mysteriously: "You don't need to ask me, you'll know soon enough!"

...

Inside the hall, many people had already arrived.

They gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing.

For this kind of banquet, eating and drinking were secondary.

The main purpose was for socializing, expanding connections, and exchanging resources.

When Qi Tianhu and his group walked in, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Needless to say, Qi Tianhu was Tiger, the underground boss of Jiang City.

Everywhere he went, everyone who saw him would bow and call him ‘Tiger’!

However, the one who attracted the most attention was Chen Xiao.

Because Song Anran and Qi Qingfei were standing on either side of him.

Being squeezed in the middle by these two shining beauties was like being surrounded by stars.

Everyone was talking about who this young man was, and why they had never seen him before.

The final conclusion was that he must be a young master from a wealthy family from out of town.

"Chen Xiao, I have some old friends over there. I'll take Qingfei over to say hello, and I'll come back to you later."

Qi Tianhu left with Da Jun and Qi Qingfei, while Old Xu separated from them as soon as he entered the hall.

Only Chen Xiao and Song Anran were left, and Chen Xiao's attention was not on Song Anran.

He looked around, as if he was looking for someone.

Song Anran asked him, "Who are you looking for?"

Chen Xiao came back to his senses and stammered, "No, I'm not looking for anyone."

He was looking for Li Ziqing, but he naturally wouldn't tell Song Anran.

However, he searched the hall and couldn't find Li Ziqing's figure.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Did she stand me up?"

Just then, Wei Ranqiu came to Song Anran again.

"Anran, you don't have to lie to me. I already know. This kid is just a small caregiver, without power or influence. I don't believe you're really with someone like this!"

"Even if you want to reject my courtship, you don't have to use this kind of garbage as a shield to disgust me!"

Wei Ranqiu stared blankly at Song Anran, as if he was bewitched.

Song Anran laughed helplessly.

"You're really never going to end. A shield? Disgust you?"

"Who do you think you are? Do you think I would do that for you?"

"I'm telling you, Chen Xiao is my boyfriend, and I'll prove it to you if you don't believe me!"

Wei Ranqiu was stunned, not knowing what Song Anran meant by 'prove it to you'.

But then, he knew.

He saw Song Anran turn Chen Xiao's head and then kiss him.

Not to mention Wei Ranqiu, even Chen Xiao was dumbfounded!

What the hell was this?!

Qi Qingfei, who was not far away, was also dumbfounded. Her heart suddenly ached, as if it was being torn apart.

Wei Ranqiu completely collapsed, standing there in a daze, clenching and unclenching his fists.

He didn't even notice when Song Anran pulled Chen Xiao away.

Song Anran took Chen Xiao's hand and said softly, "Thanks."

Chen Xiao wiped his lips, which seemed to still have a lingering fragrance.

He smiled and said, "I wouldn't mind if you thanked me a few more times."

Song Anran glared at him: "Dream on."

Jiang Zhenlin pulled Wei Ranqiu aside.

Looking at his distraught appearance, Jiang Zhenlin couldn't help but laugh.

Wei Ranqiu frowned: "Lao Jiang, what's wrong with you? I'm like this, and you can still laugh?"

Jiang Zhenlin smiled: "I told you not to think about that bitch, now you've completely given up, right?"

Wei Ranqiu didn't speak, the anger in his eyes said everything.

A fierce look appeared in Jiang Zhenlin's eyes: "I'll tell you some good news in advance, that Chen kid, he's going to die tonight!"

Wei Ranqiu perked up: "Are you serious? You're going to help me get rid of that kid?"

Jiang Zhenlin smiled mysteriously: "I won't help you get rid of him, but someone will want his life!"

Wei Ranqiu was about to ask again, but a black shadow appeared behind Jiang Zhenlin like a ghost, causing his face to turn cold, and he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Jiang Zhenlin guessed something from Wei Ranqiu's reaction, and when he looked back, he saw Old Xu in front of him.

"Old Xu! You saw everything just now, right?"

Jiang Zhenlin looked respectful and obsequious.

Old Xu's face was very ugly, and he nodded slightly.

"The young master will arrive in ten minutes, go and prepare now. The young master will make his own decisions about other matters!"
