The expression of Hu Chen and the other two was soical that Xie Feng wanted tough but restrained himself. The three of them had received too many surprises in such a short time.
Not only did they somehow learn that Xie Feng was confident enough to oppose the sessor of the Rothschild family, but now they also learned that their friend actually had a rtionship with the daughter of China’s number 1 authority... This was no different than marrying an imperial princess in ancient times!
The way that the trio formed by Hu Chen and the rest looked at Gu Qianxue changed slightly; unconsciously more respectful. There was no way they could act in the same form... Although Hu Chen and Yue Kai were part of wealthy families and were undoubtedly young masters, the difference between them and Gu Qianxue were as great as trying topare the moon and the sun.
However, as if he knew what was going on, Xie Feng waved his hand and pointed out, "You three need not be like this. Although Gu Qianxue belongs to the Gu family, you should already know what her personality is like. She doesn’t use influence in any way and, if you guys were to consider yourselves my true friends, I hope you won’t change your attitude towards her or you might make her sad."
What Xie Feng least wanted currently was for Gu Qianxue to feel bad. Besides, if his three friends acted differently just because of what he had just told them Xie Feng would inevitably feel a bit disappointed... Although it was normal to be a little apprehensive, he hoped that things would not change since Xie Feng truly cherished the friendship they had. After all, the three of them never asked him for anything, even when they didn’t know that Xie Feng was a rich man he was never looked down upon by them.
While Xie Feng was chatting with the guys in the group, the girls were having their own little conference.
Mu Wuying’s three dorm mates were a bit worried. They knew that Mu Wuying belonged to a rather prominent family, but they never asked so she also did not bother to tell her true identity as the daughter of the matriarch of the Mu Family, one of the five most powerful families in China, whose status was equivalent to that of Gu Qianxue.
The three girls tried to ask Mu Wuying about Xie Feng’s true background, but Mu Wuying did not know what to tell them about it. She could not simply tell them that in reality Xie Feng did not have any real political power and that he came from a normal family that at some point became wealthy since her three dorm mates might have a heart attack due to nerves... As for telling them that Xie Feng was even more powerful than Superman and Ironman, that was far out of the question since they would undoubtedly look at her as if she was some kind of lunatic woman.
On the other hand, Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue were chatting with each other while cracking a joke or two asionally, making little Han Xue Naiugh. Theughter of the three beauties, one little and two big ones, was like heavenly music to anyone’s ears. Unfortunately, the people present were not in the mood, or rather in a position, to appreciate it.
Wei Cai was biting his nails and for every second that passed, he felt as if he was sleeping on a bed full of spikes, unable to rx at all. He knew perfectly well that he had made a big mistake this time; but what else could he do about it? Yin Yue, Shen Xinya’s manager, had told him that a very important person for the singer would be arriving. This lined up perfectly with the arrival of Avan Rothschild and added to the Rothschild’s exalted status, Wei Cai didn’t even hesitate to throw himself into the boilingva believing he was immune to the fire.
Unfortunately, Wei Cai ended up burning more than he could have imagined.
Even Lu Fu, the leader of the Shanghai New World Center’s security guard team as well as the other three guards apanying him were somewhat nervous as they awaited the final verdict.
After almost twenty minutes, after a curse pronounced in English, Avan Rothschild slowly approached. However, from the expression on his face, it seemed that things had not gone very well for him because his face was so dark that no one dared to look at him for too long, frightened at how scary a person’s expression could be.
Seeing this, Wei Cai’s face also sank and his expression copsed. His heart felt as heavy as if a one-ton stone was pressing down on it.
"Oh! But look who’s back!" Xie Feng eximed with a shocked expression. "Isn’t this the almighty Avan Rothschild, the great Rothschild family’s sessor!? My goodness, I wonder what happened for such an important figure as him to put on such a terrifying expression!"
"Pffft!"
"Hehehe..."
Mu Wuying and Xie Yao didn’t even try to restrain themselves, they directly started to giggle. Gu Qianxue had a little more decency as even though she was chuckling, she at least tried to avoid it; although she failed miserably in the end.
Avan Rothschild’s expression turned even darker after hearing Xie Feng’s sneer. Just a moment ago, he had called several Shanghai big shots, even reported his status along with hard evidence, and proposed extremely satisfactory trades to them. These people were delighted, treating him with as much respect as if Avan was their father and not a junior. However, as soon as these people heard the name "Xie Feng" they directly cut off the call or pretended that the signal was bad before finally hanging up.
Although Avan was somewhat upset at that moment, he did not attach too much importance to it and scoffed at them. However, after calling some powerful families in Beijing, Avan finally began to realize that the young man with whom he had juste into conflict seemed to have a much higher status than he initially estimated.
With no other alternatives, Avan called his own father who was in Europe. Although it was embarrassing and had never happened before, Avan Rothschild had no other options at hand. His father, being the first time he had ever received such a request from his son, agreed to help him and told him he would speak to Nangong Wentian, patriarch of the Nangong Family, one of China’s five leading families.
When Avan Rothschild learned this he was delighted in his heart. After all, no matter how strong Xie Feng’s background was, it was impossible to be higher than that of the five leading families; he could even already imagine himself sneering at that arrogant young man. However, the impossible actually happened.
Although Avan Rothschild did not know exactly what conversation his father had with the leader of the Nangong Family, it was a short conversation, only between five and ten minutes; but it was enough for his father to tell him that he must return to Europe.
Only then did Avan Rothschild realize that the person he had just offended was more powerful than he appeared on the surface. Now he would not only be aughing stock and lose all face, but he was even to return to Europe immediately without a chance to see the woman he loved... He even felt a small trace of regret... Was it really worth all that happened for a mere seat?
Pride often yed bad cards on us.
"Don’t be so arrogant." Avan Rothschild sneered. "The only reason you can act like this is because this is China, if it were any European country I could make you die in a thousand different ways!"
"What a lot of pver for someone from the proud Rothschild family." A soft and charming voice attracted everyone’s attention.
Avan Rothschild frowned, looking at the close-eyed girl who had teased him. In his heart he was mildly surprised; this woman was about 18 or 19 years old but her body was one of the best he had ever seen in his entire life, and her face was by no means far behind.
"Who are you?" Avan asked, now feeling somewhat apprehensive about this group of people.
"My name is Gu Qianxue, daughter of Gu Pojun... Just a while ago you said that even if my man was Gu Pojun’s son you would still force him to leave from here? In the end aren’t you just words and no action?" Gu Qianxue mocked without showing mercy.
"Finished... It’s over for me..." Wei Cai fell straight to the ground and started muttering intangible words as his lost eyes looked at Gu Qianxue with horror.
Earlier, he had taunted Gu Pojun, little did he know that his daughter was listening to him! Lu Fu and the rest of the security guards looked at him with pity.
Mu Wuying’s three dorm mates looked at Gu Qianxue with wide eyes as well. They had no way of knowing that this beautiful girl with such a seductive body was actually the daughter of such a well-known and respected person; after all, Gu Pojun often appeared at press conferences on television.
As if he had found an escape to clear his bad mood, Avan Rothschild looked at Xie Feng and sneered, "Now I understand... You happen to be the fiancé of Gu Pojun’s daughter. Hahaha... Howughable! So all your confidence and arrogance is because you depend on a woman? You’re really pathetic!"
Xie Feng rolled his eyes and directly ignored him. If that’s what this idiot guy really thought, then he would soon be in for a big surprise. Instead of replying, Xie Feng looked at him and said with a mocking expression, "Little idle talk. You still haven’t knelt down to pay your respects to me, your grandfather!"
