ABCFWGR Chapter 66: A Dog Takes Liberties with a Rat's Affairs
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
With three knocks, Zhang Tieshou's ferocious reputation was shattered, as well as the dignity of the Li family.
In truth, Zhang Tieshou didn't want to bow down, but he couldn't handle Cui Hanshan.
Not to mention the unpredictable Gu Chen by his side.
"Farewell for now, let's meet again someday!"
With a rough gesture, Zhang Tieshou lifted Li Chen and forcefully maintained some respect before leaving a sentence.
Gu Chen kept his promise and stopped harassing them, allowing him and his master to depart.
If it weren't for not wanting to ruin Liu Hanyan's banquet.
Neither the master nor the servant would leave here alive.
And when no one was paying attention.
Cui Hanshan quietly left the crowd, disappearing without a trace.
The banquet hadn't even started yet.
The excitement came in waves.
Far from dampening everyone's spirits, it only increased their anticipation for Miss Liu's appearance.
And the name Gu Chen was imprinted in the hearts of some.
However, it was mostly in a mocking and ridiculing manner.
To openly offend the Li family meant death was near.
That was the thought of the majority.
Chen Wantai and Chen Yuwei, surprisingly, also belonged to this group.
"Gu Chen, I don't know what to say about you. You should take advantage of the fact that the Li family hasn't found out yet and escape from Lin'an." Chen Yuwei stomped her foot with frustration.
Chen Wantai, rarely honest, no longer targeted Gu Chen.
But compared to Chen Wantai's silence, Gu Chen found Chen Yuwei's words extremely grating, his expression unpleasant as he said, "What's it to you? You'd better mind your own business."
Always talking about making him run away at the slightest hint of trouble.
This was true for Ba Fang Group, and it was true for the Li family of Ansheng. Gu Chen was annoyed by her tone.
To retreat without fighting is not what a man should do!
Moreover, the two of them no longer had any relationship. It was not her place to dictate to him.
"Why... why can't you appreciate good intentions?" Chen Yuwei felt wronged.
She was kind enough to care about him, but he didn't appreciate it. Fine, if she had known, she wouldn't have cared whether he lived or died!
Gu Chen glanced at her indifferently and didn't speak again.
Chen Yuwei stared at him like a pufferfish, full of anger, but she didn't speak anymore.
Four eyes met, filled with a smell of gunpowder.
Suddenly!
A graceful figure fell into the sight of the two, interrupting this silent battle.
Liu Hanyan looked at Chen Yuwei, her lips slightly parted, "The banquet is about to begin. First, your father caused a scene in the banquet hall, and now Miss Chen wants to follow suit?"
"Are you and your father really not afraid of angering Miss Liu?"
"Or do you want to recreate the scene of the auction?"
Such words seemed to be more embarrassing than direct humiliation, making people feel even more embarrassed.
Chen Yuwei's pretty face flushed red, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed.
Chen Wantai, seeing his daughter fail, immediately wanted to stand up for her. However, he was stopped by Chen Yuwei, who lowered her voice and said, "Dad, do you want to be even more embarrassing?"
"I..."
Chen Wantai opened his mouth, speechless.
Calm down and realize that the root of the matter was all him, and it was only at this moment that he suddenly remembered something, hurriedly turning to look at the neglected corner.
Li Junjie lay motionless on the ground like a dead dog.
"Junjie!"
Chen Wantai seemed to have found a way out, shouting, and hurried over.
Chen Yuwei also quickly followed, genuinely worried.
After all, in her heart, Li Junjie had helped her out of many dangerous situations, and she was full of gratitude.
Little did she know.
If it weren't for Gu Chen coincidentally driving away Li Chen, she would have almost become someone else's plaything in bed.
And the instigator of it all was Li Junjie.
Gu Chen inadvertently saved her once again.
Suddenly.
The lights dimmed, followed by a row of spotlights turning on.
The voice of the host came through the sound system: "Please welcome Miss Liu to the stage."
"Wow!"
The crowd was in an uproar, realizing that Miss Liu had already arrived at the scene, perhaps in the midst of the crowd.
Everyone looked towards their companions, hoping to catch Miss Liu's attention.
"Swoosh!"
The spotlight fell on Liu Hanyan's feet.
Everyone was astonished, not expecting it to be her.
After all, her presence had been so low-key just now, not even worthy of mention.
But the most shocked were undoubtedly Chen Yuwei and Chen Wantai.
"How... how is it possible that it's her? Then what about her relationship with Gu Chen?"
"No wonder, Gu Chen dares to openly provoke the Li family. Turns out Miss Liu is backing him!"
The father and daughter almost spoke simultaneously.
This not only meant that Gu Chen had become a phoenix man, but also meant that the Chen Group had completely lost the opportunity to cooperate with Miss Liu.
"Thank you all for attending my banquet."
"I believe you have all heard about my plans to establish a group company in Lin'an. This news is true, and I am already looking for partners. In the future, I hope everyone will give me guidance."
"Additionally, I would like to introduce someone very important, the first president of the pharmaceutical company under my group—Mr. Gu Chen. Let's give him a round of applause."
Liu Hanyan's gentle yet powerful voice echoed in everyone's ears.
The spotlight also fell on Gu Chen's feet, highlighting his handsome face and tall figure.
Regardless of what people thought, Miss Liu's face had to be given, and applause erupted one after another.
Applause gathered, creating an extraordinary scene.
"Tsk, in plain terms, isn't he just being a gigolo? What's there to be proud of?"
"Gigolos also come in different grades. The one he's hugging is the long legs of Miss Liu from the capital's Liu family."
"Alas! Comparing oneself to others will only lead to frustration. We're still waiting to catch Miss Liu's eye, while he's already flying high."
Hearing the sarcastic remarks from nearby people.
Chen Yuwei was furious, pointing at them and saying, "Gossiping behind others' backs, what kind of heroes are you? If you have the guts, say it to Gu Chen's face!"
The faces of those few turned as red as pig liver.
This kind of thing was tacitly understood, and once it was brought up, everyone would lose face.
"What's it to you? Busybody."
"Just now your father also rushed up and shouted to beat and kill others, and now that he's become a red person in front of Miss Liu, you want to fawn over him?"
"Go, go, go, don't bother with these opportunistic eyes."
The three of them spoke while leaving with disdain.
Everyone present was a prominent figure in Lin'an and didn't need to give face to the Chen family.
"..."
Chen Yuwei was left speechless by their words, feeling wronged and wanting to cry.
She wasn't trying to fawn over Gu Chen; she just couldn't stand others defaming him.
She couldn't explain why, but she just couldn't stand others talking about Gu Chen.
Unfortunately, because she was too far away and the surroundings were too noisy.
Gu Chen didn't notice what she had done.
"Yuwei, what you're doing is useless. From now on, our family and Gu Chen are not on the same path. There's no need to stand up for him, it's just a waste of effort." Chen Wantai came over to persuade her.
"Dad, do you also think of me that way?"
Chen Yuwei's eyes teared up, with a glint of tears shimmering.
"..."
Chen Wantai thought to himself, isn't it? Then why are you standing up for him?
"Alas! I can't explain it to you!"
Chen Yuwei stomped her foot in anger, turned around, and left.
And when she left the banquet hall, it was precisely when Gu Chen announced the pharmaceutical cooperation.
