Chapter 403: Chapter 403: Adding Fuel to the Fire (Fourth Update)
Zheng Wenbin said towards the door, “Brother Liu, please come in.”
The door opened, and Liu Xuan and Liu Bing walked in.
Zheng Wenbin pointed to the sofa and said to Liu Xuan, “Brother Liu, have a seat.”
Liu Xuan sat down on the sofa and saw Long Chen and Song Haoyu sitting there. He said to Zheng Wenbin, “Wenbin, who are these two gentlemen?”
Zheng Wenbin pointed at Long Chen and Song Haoyu, and said, “This is my cousin Long Chen, and this gentleman is the Young Master from the Song family in Huadu.”
Then, Zheng Wenbin introduced them to Long Chen and Song Haoyu, “This is Young Master Liu from the Six Great Families in the Capital City.”
Long Chen and Song Haoyu, being Young Masters from Huadu’s Ten Great Families, naturally knew of the Liu family among the Six Great Families of the Capital City.
The two immediately showed a respectful expression and said to Liu Xuan, “Hello, Young Master Liu.”
Liu Xuan slightly nodded to them.
Then, Liu Xuan said to Zheng Wenbin, “Wenbin, I want to talk about Yutong’s situation with you.”
His meaning was already very clear—he didn’t want anyone else around when discussing matters with Zheng Wenbin.
Zheng Wenbin glanced at Long Chen and Song Haoyu and then picked up the phone to make a call.
Once the call connected, Zheng Wenbin asked over the phone, “Is the guest room ready?”
“It’s ready, Young Master.”
“Come over and take Young Master Long and Young Master Song to the guest room.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Although Long Chen was meeting Liu Xuan for the first time, he knew about the friendship between the Zheng and Liu families.
He had also heard from Zheng Wenbin that both the Zheng and Liu families hoped for Zheng Yutong to marry a Young Master from the Liu family.
But he also heard his cousin Zheng Yutong say that she was unwilling to marry a Young Master from the Liu family.
Thinking about the call earlier to Zheng Yutong, where she showed concern for Xiao Ling over grilled fish, Long Chen suddenly thought this was a rare opportunity.
This time, he and Song Haoyu came to Shencheng under the guise of a summer vacation trip.
But their ultimate goal was to trap Lin Fei and Xiao Ling in Shencheng, away from Huadu’s influence, leading them to ruin as revenge for the grudges in their hearts.
So, Long Chen, while Zheng Wenbin and Liu Xuan were softly exchanging words, seemed to casually say, “Cousin, Young Master Liu, I just called Yutong. She seems to be having a grilled fish feast with Xiao Ling.
And she said she’d throw a welcome party for me tonight. This Yutong, she’s putting me, her cousin, further and further out of her mind.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Xuan slightly frowned, with a sharp glint in his eyes as he gazed at Long Chen.
Zheng Wenbin, already troubled about his sister and Liu Xuan’s situation, didn’t expect Long Chen to suddenly mention his sister having a grilled fish feast with someone.
Seeing Liu Xuan frown, Zheng Wenbin was quite displeased with his cousin’s careless words.
“Long Chen, your cousin just went out with some friends for a grilled fish feast. Why are you so upset? Besides, she did say she would host a welcome party for you tonight,” Zheng Wenbin said quickly with a smile, trying to smooth things over, even though he didn’t know who Xiao Ling was.
However, Liu Xuan wasn’t smiling; his gaze remained fixed on Long Chen as he said, “Do you know this Xiao Ling?”
Long Chen nodded, “Of course, I know him. He’s a Young Master from the Xiao family, one of the Ten Great Families in Huadu. He’s also a playboy at Huadu University, famously pursuing our school’s campus beauty, and now he’s here chasing after Yutong. It’s truly over the line!”
Liu Xuan’s frown deepened, and his face grew more serious, “So he’s a Young Master too, no wonder he dared to oppose me.”
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
Zheng Wenbin said, “Come in.”
The door opened, and the man in the suit who had initially led Long Chen in entered.
“Young Master, the guest room is ready,” the man in the suit said to Zheng Wenbin.
Zheng Wenbin said to Long Chen and Song Haoyu, “You’ve just arrived in Shencheng; you must be quite tired. Go to the guest room to rest.”
He really didn’t want Long Chen to say something reckless again that would anger Liu Xuan.
Long Chen nodded, “Then I’ll go first, cousin.”
He said, standing up, ready to leave with Song Haoyu, following the suited man.
“Wait, Young Master Long,” Liu Xuan suddenly called from the sofa.
Zheng Wenbin saw Liu Xuan stopping Long Chen and felt uneasy, thinking the comment about Yutong and the whole Xiao Ling situation had already made Liu Xuan quite angry.
Long Chen looked at Liu Xuan and asked, “Young Master Liu, do you have something you want to say to me?”
Liu Xuan nodded, “I have some questions for you. Let your friend go to the guest room first!”
Song Haoyu then nodded, “Young Master Liu, Young Master Zheng, I’ll head to the guest room first.”
After Song Haoyu left with the suited man, Long Chen also sat back on the sofa.
Liu Xuan looked at Long Chen and said, “Since you know and understand this Xiao Ling, you must also know someone named Lin Fei, right?”
Hearing this, Long Chen felt a burst of joy: Could it be that not only Xiao Ling offended Young Master Liu, but Lin Fei did as well?
Thinking about how nobody in Huacheng dared to offend Lin Fei, Long Chen felt this likelihood was high.
“Young Master Liu, not only do I know him, but Lin Fei is also my enemy,” Long Chen said with a face full of resentment.
On the side, Zheng Wenbin was increasingly confused, not knowing who Xiao Ling was, and now there’s someone named Lin Fei involved?
Zheng Wenbin asked Liu Xuan, “Brother Liu, who is this Lin Fei, and why are you so concerned about him?”
Liu Xuan’s eyes flashed with anger as he said, “Because my sister is with him.”
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Zheng Wenbin’s face.
He knew that Liu Xuan’s real intention in bringing his sister Liu Wei to Shencheng was to have her spend more time with Zheng Wenbin, fostering a deeper relationship.
But he hadn’t expected that before even meeting Liu Wei, she was already with another man.
This left a sour taste in Zheng Wenbin’s heart.
“Young Master Liu, you must not let your sister stay with this Lin Fei. Let me tell you, this Lin Fei is even more of a playboy than Xiao Ling. He’s the most notorious womanizer at Huadu University, with girlfriends ranging from hospital nurses to company CEOs, and even four or five girls at school,” Long Chen said angrily.
How could he not be angry?
So many people like Lin Fei, so he exaggerated and did everything he could to tarnish Lin Fei’s reputation.
“This Lin Fei specializes in deceiving girls’ feelings. To him, as long as a girl is pretty, he falls for her. Let me be frank, Young Master Liu, it’s appalling.
I didn’t expect that he and his cronies like Xiao Ling would be here on vacation in Shencheng, yet they’re already deceiving my cousin and Young Master Liu’s sister. It’s truly despicable!”
Liu Xuan and Zheng Wenbin’s faces turned quite dark.
They hadn’t expected their sisters to fall into the hands of two con artists who specialized in playing with women’s feelings.
At this moment, Liu Xuan said to Liu Bing, who was standing by, “Show the video to Wenbin.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Then Liu Bing reached into his pocket, took out his phone, opened a video, and placed it on the table in front of Zheng Wenbin.
Long Chen also quietly leaned over to take a look.
When Zheng Wenbin saw Zheng Yutong, Liu Wei, Lin Fei, and Xiao Ling happily grilling fish together, chatting and laughing.
And after grilling, the two women even fed the grilled fish to Lin Fei and Xiao Ling in a very intimate manner, Zheng Wenbin’s face filled with anger, as if a storm was about to break loose.
