Yuan Jianqing did not expect the members of the Green Gang to show up at the Qu family’s birthday party. That day, after he had behaved atrociously in the territory of the Green Gang, he returned home satisfied. He had just entered the house and had yet to change out of his shoes when his father, who had received the news, grabbed him and gave him a fierce scolding.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this scolding was a bloody one. Yuan Jianqing only found out about the power of the Green Gang from his father’s words. Only then did he realize that he had stirred up a hornet’s nest this time.
Yuan Jianqing had originally thought that his father would definitely take him to the Green Gang to apologize. He had already prepared for this. However, he didn’t expect that after his father reprimanded him and warned him to be quiet for the time being, he would turn around and enter his study room.
After that incident, Yuan Jianqing did some research on the Green Gang. He did not know if he had investigated enough, but once he did, he was shocked. Only now did he realize how dangerous the things he had said and done back then were. When he recalled it, he could not help but break out in cold sweat for himself. If the members of the Green Gang had been ruthless back then, he probably would not be standing here right now.
Especially when Yuan Jianqing saw Fatty who had walked in together with Elder Liu, his legs started to tremble. He remembered that he had scolded this man many times that day. Moreover, from his later investigations, he found out that Fatty’s status in the Green Gang was high.
As for the weird man, he obviously didn’t expect to meet a member of the Green Gang on such an occasion. Although he didn’t do anything, when he met Chen Meng’er’s eyes, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
It was as if she knew everything.
Chen Meng’er strolled to the opposite side of Yuan Jianqing and the man with the pointy mouth and sat down. “Yunbo, go and invite Yuan Jianqing and his friends over.”
Chen Meng’er’s voice wasn’t loud, but it wasn’t soft either. The people around who were paying attention to Chen Meng’er heard her. They couldn’t help but show envious expressions towards Yuan Jianqing and the others, but, only Yuan Jianqing and the weird man knew the bitterness in their hearts. They were filled with regret. Why were they so obsessed with offending the Green Gang at that time?
After Chen Meng’er and the others left, Elder Liu and the others suddenly became much quieter.
Due to the aura of these elders, the others in the hall didn’t have the courage to rashly approach them to get close to them.
Murong Qi, who really wanted to please these elders, wanted to take advantage of the moment when Chen Meng’er left to say something or do something to make these elders happy. However, her heart was willing but her strength was insufficient. As long as she raised her head and saw Elder Liu standing there in a traditional suit, her heart would tremble. She simply didn’t have the courage to approach him.
Murong Qi even felt a little regretful. Why didn’t she leave with Chen Meng’er and the others when they left just now?
Besides Murong Qi who wanted to build a good relationship with Elder Liu and the others, there was another person, also known as Matriarch Murong, who also wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to build a good relationship with Elder Liu, Marquis Yuwen and the others to ease the relationship between the Murong family and them. She was already prepared to lower herself and curry favor with Elder Liu and the others.
But someone just wouldn’t give her the chance. She had just adjusted her expression and was about to speak when Elder Qu said to the Qu brothers, “I’ll leave this birthday banquet to you guys. I have some matters to discuss with Elder Liu.”
Elder Qu didn’t expect Elder Liu to appear tonight. However, after his shock, he realized that this was the first time Chen Meng’er had appeared in the upper-class circle of the capital. Based on Elder Liu’s love for his granddaughter, Chen Meng’er, how could he be at ease and let her appear alone?
