Chapter 402: Chapter 402: The Three Great Families
"Lu Family?"
Ling Feng was bewildered, "I don’t know anyone from the Lu Family?"
"Haven’t you just t? My na is Lu Zixuan!"
"Oh, you need sothing from ?" Seeing the other’s unfriendly expression, Ling Feng asked with a hint of curiosity.
Lu Zixuan sneered, "I have a score to settle with you, but not now. Let’s et in the parking lot downstairs after the party is over!"
Ling Feng was speechless, feeling like he was back in his school days, reminiscent of the ’don’t go after school, wait for
at the school gate’ kind of situation.
Seeing Lu Zixuan turn to leave, he hurriedly asked, "Hey, if you’re looking for , shouldn’t you at least clarify what this is all about?"
Lu Zixuan looked back at him, "Rember the ’Ghost King’? He’s from my Lu Family!"
"Eh?"
Ling Feng was very surprised; he had not expected this at all!
"I see, so it really is a score to be settled!" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
"Good that you understand!"
Lu Zixuan huffed coldly and walked away.
Ling Feng watched his retreating figure, smiled wryly, turned back, and asked Joanna, "What’s the story with this Lu Family?"
"How co you don’t know anything?"
Joanna was speechless too and explained, "Huaxia has three major hidden families: the Lu Family, the Chu Family, and the Qiao Family."
Ling Feng had a realization, "So there are that many? I thought there was only the Chu Family!"
After saying this, he smiled wryly, "At least not all three families are after , at least the Qiao Family holds no grudge against ."
Joanna’s eyes went wide, "What do you an, you also have a grudge with the Chu Family?"
"Sothing like that." Ling Feng didn’t explain but nodded with a smile, then asked, "If I’m not mistaken, you’re from the Qiao Family?"
"Anyone who’s not a fool could’ve guessed that by now!"
Joanna was still in shock and sized up Ling Feng, "I wouldn’t have guessed, you really are trouble magnet, aren’t you?"
"Heh, I’ve heard that before. If I said it’s not
who causes trouble, but trouble that finds , would you believe ?" Ling Feng asked with a smile.
"I don’t."
Joanna shook her head straightforwardly.
Ling Feng was stunned, then feigned indignation, "If you don’t believe it, forget about it!"
Seeing his reaction, Joanna not only didn’t feel she had spoken too harshly but turned to Chen Yuhe and said, "Yuhe, let’s go take a walk. There’s a lot of delicious food today!"
"This..."
Chen Yuhe hesitated, stealing a glance at Ling Feng.
"Go ahead, have a good ti, otherwise, it would be a wasted trip today," Ling Feng said.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuhe nodded to Joanna, "Alright."
"Let’s go."
Joanna smiled slightly, took Chen Yuhe’s hand, and then gave Ling Feng a peculiar look.
The ssage was clear: You lucky guy, such a beautiful girl, and she’s so compliant with you.
Ling Feng pretended not to see her look and simply did not respond.
The two girls left, turning towards the dining area. So who had been sneakily watching them began to get eager.
Indeed, both ladies were stunningly beautiful; it was natural for the n to be amazed.
Instead of being annoyed, Ling Feng felt rather pleased at the scene; after all, one of the beauties belonged to him.
As he was feeling proud, an elderly man in a blue shirt slowly walked over and, without saying a word, took a seat beside Ling Feng.
Their gazes t, and the old man said indifferently, "I am Chu Nan."
"Oh? What relation is Chu Bo to you?" Ling Feng was taken aback, then asked.
"He is my no-good grandson," Chu Nan replied.
Ling Feng looked at the old man and replied with an "oh," "So, elder, you’ve co to see
to settle accounts, have you?"
To his surprise, Chu Nan shook his head, "No, I’ve co to thank you!"
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng looked at him, puzzled, "Thank ? His leg was broken by , and it’s still not healed; surely the elder isn’t speaking sarcastically?"
"Of course not, I genuinely want to thank you. I’ve looked into this matter thoroughly. Chu Bo was in the wrong first, so you were essentially disciplining him for . Why would I be angry?" said Chu Nan calmly.
"Oh."
Although what he said seed reasonable, Ling Feng still felt that things couldn’t be that simple.
Therefore, he smiled and said, "It’s not like I was disciplining him for anyone. Anyone who tries to bully my woman is getting off easy with just a broken leg."
"Exactly!"
Chu Nan nodded, "If it were , no matter who he is, I would take his life!"
Since he had said as much, Ling Feng smiled and remained silent.
He didn’t know what the old man intended now. If he wasn’t here to settle scores, then what did he want?
As he was pondering this, Chu Nan spoke, "Mr. Ling, I am currently the head of the Chu Family. It’s my good fortune to et you today. After the banquet, would you care to visit
for a while?"
"Oh? Do you have sothing in mind, elder?" Ling Feng asked.
"Nothing in particular. I greatly admire your character and would like to be friends," Chu Nan said with a smile.
Ling Feng hesitated for a mont, then replied with a smile, "You flatter , sir. It would be disrespectful of
to refuse, wouldn’t it?"
After he finished speaking, he changed his tone, "However, I’ve been rather busy lately. I’m afraid it may take so ti before I can visit."
"No problem. I’ll be waiting for you whenever you’re ready!"
Chu Nan showed no sign of surprise, nodded, and then pulled out a card from his pocket and handed it over, "This is my contact information, and it’s also a pass to enter the Chu household. Please, Mr. Ling, take good care of it."
"Understood."
Ling Feng reached out and took the card, feeling a chill in his hand. The card was bank card sized and seed to be made of tal, which explained the cool sensation.
Seeing that he had accepted the card, Chu Nan offered a slight smile, "I won’t take up more of your ti."
After standing up and leaving, Ling Feng sat there alone, his mind racing.
Despite having broken his grandson’s leg, the old man wasn’t angry and even claid to admire him?
By any normal person’s thinking, this was utterly improbable!
Even for the head of a reclusive family, Chu Nan’s attitude was surprising, and it probably wasn’t just out of admiration; surely there was so ulterior motive in seeking him out!
After giving it so thought, Ling Feng decided this wasn’t urgent. Since he hadn’t agreed to a specific ti, he could deal with it later.
At that mont, the banquet had already started. Lin Huaqiang had just delivered a speech on stage, mostly discussing the business at hand, most of which Ling Feng hadn’t paid much attention to.
Finally, when the speech concluded, Lin Huaqiang’s gaze turned towards him, and he looked ready to co over.
Ling Feng knew he wanted to have a chat, so he straightened up, readying himself.
Unexpectedly, at that mont, soone suddenly rushed over and whispered sothing in his ear!
Lin Huaqiang’s eyes widened in shock, "What? Are you sure about the news?"
With that comnt, all eyes turned towards him, wondering what had happened.
