Chapter 587: Chapter 387 Hesitation
Zhang Dadan was brought to a suburban courtyard by Sunx Wuxiong. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw rows of blades.
"Mr. Zhang, you know our Sun family is a martial arts family. There’s nothing valuable in the house, but various cold weapons are always available!" Sunx Wuxiong rarely spoke up first.
Zhang Dadan glanced around. There were many swords, spears, sabers, axes, cymbals, hooks, and forks, but the Sunx family specialized in Inner Sect Skills. They shouldn’t be using a bunch of blades, should they?
"How old are these cold weapons? Are they antiques?" Zhang Dadan joked.
Before Sunx Wuxiong could answer, he saw Sunx Wei walking out from the inner courtyard, greeting him warmly, "Mr. Zhang, we have guests at home. I hope you can forgive me for not meeting you sooner!"
"Well... it’s nice to say... it’s my unsolicited visit. I’ve been bothering you!" Zhang Dadan modestly shouldered the responsibility.
Sunx Wei sneered in his heart and then hurriedly advanced, boldly leading towards the inner courtyard.
Entering the inner courtyard of the Sunx Mansion was refreshing. Looking around, one could see a stream of living water winding through, dividing Sunx Mansion into two halves, north and south.
"Mr. Zhang, this river is called the Dubao River. Our village relies entirely on this river to bring us abundant harvests," Sunx Wei explained.
Zhang Dadan listened, squinting his eyebrows, admiring the beauty of the river on one end.
However, he was at odds with Sunx Wei and strived to calculate against him. He was too lazy to remind Sunx Wei.
"This river is excellent, but there’s too much silt!" Zhang Dadan spoke calmly, not drawing Sunx Wei’s attention.
The trio crossed a stone bridge before arriving at the main hall of the inner courtyard. After the guest and host sat down, Zhang Dadan praised, "Mr. Sunx, your courtyard is impressive!"
Sunx Wei had worked hard all his life and invested most of the family’s fortune in building this house. Naturally, it wasn’t too shabby.
"Mr. Zhang, you flatter me. This house is built in the countryside; it’s not worth much," Sunx Wei modestly said.
Nonetheless, Zhang Dadan primarily intended to act as a guest, not reluctantly saying, "Mr. Sunx, overmodesty can be prideful! Since you are so wealthy, should we still calculate travel expenses?"
Travel expenses? Upon hearing this, Sunx Wei nearly stumbled to the ground. Old man, I gave you hundreds of thousands of US dollars. What kind of dogshit travel expenses do you want?
In a few days, you’ll be dead. Since you are so greedy, go ask King Yanluo for travel expenses.
Sunx Wei took the time to inwardly curse Zhang Dadan before speaking falsely, "Mr. Zhang, this house is really not worth much. Our ancestors truly left us no money!"
Seeing him cry fiercely, Zhang Dadan sincerely wondered if he could extract genuine gold or silver from him. He took out his phone and started the recorder.
"Look, Mr. Sunx, I can’t do this. How about I accompany you to your meeting? If I win you face at the meeting, the car Sunx Wuxiong drove today will be mine. If I lose, I can’t ask for more travel expenses!"
Sunx Wei, smelling something fishy, hesitated for a moment and then agreed, "Alright! According to Mr. Zhang’s calculation. If you win our family face, the car will be yours!"
Before Zhang Dadan could laugh out loud, he heard Sunx Wuxiong complain, "Grandpa, that car was bought last year!"
Last year? So what? Anyway, Zhang won’t return alive. He can’t drive this car anymore. What’s the point?
"Enough! No more nonsense. This family has the final say," Sunx Wei reprimanded with authority.
Seeing his grandpa’s anger, Sunx Wuxiong had to sit back sternly, glaring at Zhang Dadan with resentment.
"Mr. Zhang, we have to catch a flight at noon tomorrow. If any issues arise, you should stay at our house tonight!" Sunx Wei suddenly suggested.
When Zhang Dadan saw he was revealing his true intentions, he no longer hid it and straightforwardly said, "Are there no other guests in your house? Why not check on them?"
"They... they are relaxing in the guest room, so we shouldn’t disturb them," Sunx Wei replied nervously.
"Who sought your family without consulting you?" Zhang Dadan continued to ask.
Seeing his relentless and aggressive attitude, Sunx Wei felt a bit scared. Did he discover something?
It shouldn’t be! He hadn’t even told Sunx Wuxiong. How did he learn about it? Should I ask frankly?
"Uh! They are our ancestors, my daughter’s father-in-law!" Sunx Wei hesitated a bit before explaining.
Zhang Yongfeng interjected, "That’s all! But I have another question to ask you!"
Sunx Wei’s emotions were written on his face. He felt anxious and timid and asked, "What... whatever you want to ask!"
Seeing his magnanimity, Zhang Dadan couldn’t hold off anymore and directly pointed out.
Sunx Wei was astonished and surprised by Zhang’s bold request for inviting guests to come over, not to mention if he even had any friends in this city.
Even if he did have friends in this city, would his friends know his family address? What would he do when he asked his friends?
"Mr. Zhang, I’ll have someone wait at the door to welcome your friends. Let’s have a drink first!" Sunx Wei remained curious and continued to urge for wine.
However, no matter how he persuaded, Zhang Dadan only had one word. Before eating and drinking, he had to wait for his friends to arrive.
Chen Guoqing winked at Sunx Wei and whispered, "Ah! If this man is old enough, he’ll be useless; no one will listen to him.
"No! My prestige in this house has greatly decreased," Sunx Wei responded pitifully.
Seeing their performance, Zhang Dadan couldn’t help but interrupt, "Are you two playing tough meat tricks? I’ve not been waiting for friends, right?"
With that one sentence, the two couldn’t speak anymore, and Sunx Wuxiong, sitting last, began to perform.
"Mr. Zhang, we are all young people without much formality. Let’s have a drink and wait together!" Sunx Wuxiong pretended to be bold and persuaded.
Before Zhang Dadan could respond, a noisy sound came from outside the door. He heard a young man, without hesitation, scolding, "Do you know who I am? How dare you block me? Fight..."
Sitting in the room, the very worried Sunx Wei heard the familiar voice, nearly sliding off his chair.
"Is that Lian Cheng’s son?" Sunx Wei exclaimed in surprise, hurrying to the door to greet him.
Seeing Sunx Wei’s frightened and respectful demeanor, Chen Guoqing already guessed who was outside the door. He quickly stood up silently, waiting.
When Sunx Wuxiong saw what was happening, he swiftly stood up, standing respectfully like Taishan, bold and steady.
After he died, Sunx Liancheng and Sunx Wei entered the room together, shouting boldly, "Zhang Dadan, how did you come to the Sunx Family!"
"What? Given the chance to rub elbows, are you still going to reject it?" Zhang Dadan mocked.
Hearing this, Sunx Liancheng helplessly shook his head, gave a bitter smile, and sat beside Zhang Dadan.
"Master, you should sit in the honored seat," Sunx Wei suggested, seeing him unrestrained but feeling the need for courtesy.
Sunx Liancheng looked up and said, "Where you talk too much? This is still your call. After all, it is your home!"
Seeing him open his golden mouth, Sunx Wei found it hard to be humble, so he had to return to his seat, quietly wiping sweat and sitting down.
