Chapter 298: Chapter 296: Wu ngting’s Hidden Worries
Today, Mo Shaoyun and Hao Jian arrived on ti, without skipping class or leaving early.
Actually, it was an order from Elder Mo. After all, the Mo Family is a major shareholder in the school, and during the eting, he understood the seriousness of the situation, which involved the Huang Family of Capital City.
The Mo Family is indeed strong in South Sea City, second only to the Liu Family, but compared to the Huang Family of Capital City, they are just cannon fodder.
Thus, Elder Mo had no choice but to advise his son Mo Shaoyun to stay calm; caution is the parent of safety, lest misunderstandings fall upon him.
Whether true or not, if the Huang Family cos to take actions against him, it would spell disaster.
Likewise, Hao Jian arrived early. He had heard from his brother that Chen Tianlong seed to be following him. This ant Chen Tianlong must know his secret.
If he reported him to the principal’s office, the police might soon co to take him for interrogation.
But after all, Chen Tianlong had no evidence, and even Director Zhao Bing was aware but hadn’t co personally, perhaps due to reservations, so there had been no action.
Throughout the day, Hao Jian was anxious and frightened, living each day as if it were a year, not daring to go anywhere and pretending to listen attentively in class.
At noon, Chen Tianlong wanted to invite Wu ngting for lunch, but he found that Wu ngting was not in the classroom. After calling her, he found Wu Liao had located her on a bench in the school’s grove.
"ngting, what are you doing here? It’s lunchti, why are you still sitting here?" Chen Tianlong shouted from afar, but as he approached, he noticed Wu ngting’s eyes were red and her face was stained with tears, suddenly understanding what was going on.
Without a word, Chen Tianlong pulled her into his arms.
After a long ti, Chen Tianlong spoke again, "ngting, what’s going on? Tell ."
Upon hearing this, Wu ngting dried her tears but still sobbed a little, "Tianlong, my father called and said the Xu Family is urging for the marriage again."
"Xu Family? Which Xu Family, the one from South Sea City?" Chen Tianlong rembered there seed to be a Xu Family in South Sea City, not one of the four big families, but quite powerful, perhaps a pharmaceutical family.
"Yes, my father said I have a childhood engagent with the Xu Family, but it was just a child’s promise determined through business cooperation. Now, the Wu Family and the Xu Family haven’t been in contact for years, and I don’t like this kind of arranged marriage at all. Most importantly, I have you now; how could I ever marry Young Master Xu?" Wu ngting grew increasingly upset.
She was also angry that her father had made a childhood engagent without telling her as she grew up, and now they were pushing for marriage and simply phoned her.
He even said there was a marriage contract between the two families, and if they didn’t comply, they would take legal action against the Wu Family, leaving Wu ngting at a loss.
The Wu Family is clearly not as strong as before, while the Xu Family is gradually rising in power, much stronger than the Wu Family. If they don’t comply, the Xu Family will likely be relentless.
"Is the Xu Family so formidable?" Chen Tianlong, now Vice President of Chen Group with hundreds of billions in assets, thought a re Xu Family wouldn’t face a good outco if they wanted to challenge him.
"Yes, they are formidable. I heard they are allied with the Hao Family and the Mo Family of South Sea City, so offending the Xu Family is akin to offending the Hao Family and Mo Family. What should we do?" Wu ngting was on the verge of tears again.
If she’d never t Chen Tianlong, she might have bravely married into the Xu Family, but things are different now. Having t soone she truly likes, she couldn’t easily give up.
"Hehe, ngting, you’re my girlfriend now and always will be. No matter who it is, even if they were a king, they wouldn’t take you away." Chen Tianlong said coldly.
"Tianlong." Wu ngting was obviously touched.
Brightening up, Chen Tianlong quickly stood up and pulled Wu ngting’s hand, saying, "Alright, let’s go have lunch first, and in the afternoon we’ll visit the Xu Family. After canceling your engagent with Young Master Xu, you’ll be mine forever, and no one can set their sights on you. Otherwise, they’ll have to deal with ..."
"Okay!"
Wu ngting nodded vigorously; she had been waiting for this mont for a long ti.
From the day she agreed to be with Chen Tianlong, she’d decided to be his woman for life.
An hour later, the two of them were in a BMW X6, slowly driving towards Xu Family Mansion.
The Xu Family Mansion was extrely quiet, for so reason, the whole mansion seed lazy.
Standing at the Xu Family gate were two security guards, occasionally yawning, clearly having stayed up all night, waiting for their shift to be relieved.
At this mont, Chen Tianlong’s BMW slowly entered the neighborhood, and as they approached the Xu Family gate, they found an empty spot to park.
Chen Tianlong thought of how if a conflict arose later, escaping would be easier. There was no need to drive the car inside.
"What are you two doing here?"
As they reached the side of the gate, the two security guards who had been quite alert instantly perked up, quickly approaching Chen Tianlong and Wu ngting.
Seeing Wu ngting, the guards hurriedly wiped their eyes, sowhat in disbelief. A beautiful woman so early in the morning, and not just any beauty, but extraordinarily stunning.
"Beautiful...beautiful lady!"
The younger guard at the back, seeing Wu ngting’s charm, nearly drooled, muttering under his breath.
The guard in front, a tall and bold man in his late thirties, looked indomitable. The younger guard behind was more refined but had a bit of a sleazy expression.
The older guard hurriedly glared at the younger one, obviously feeling he had been disgraceful.
"Ahem... We’re here to see Mr. Xu, could you inform him for us?" Chen Tianlong said, displeased as he noticed the younger guard’s eyes fixed on Wu ngting.
The older guard frowned. Looking at their attire, they didn’t seem like aristocratic young gentlen. While the lady seed quite elegant and very beautiful, she lacked the arrogance of a noblewoman.
The young man beside her was even more peculiar, dressed in casual attire like an athlete, clearly not a young gentleman from a prestigious family.
"You two want to see Mr. Xu? Haha, are you kidding?" The older guard laughed heartily after sizing up the two.
Having worked at the Xu Family gate for two years, the people who appeared here always drove rcedes, BMW, Ferrari directly inside, and they were either from noble families or big bosses, carrying with them smoke, alcohol, or antiques without exception.
In contrast to these two, who ca empty-handed, even if seeking help, they needed to bring sothing. So he suspected they were thieves trying to sneak into the mansion.
After all, it was early morning and people weren’t very vigilant.
"Well, it’s just the two of us... In that case, if you don’t believe us, you could have Young Master Mo co out to see us." Chen Tianlong said with a faint smile.
