Chapter 664 - 664 Minor Conflict

664 Minor Conflict

At the entrance of the cruise ship, two bodyguards were checking the invitations of the guests one by one to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation. Chu Ning and Yan Shen stood side by side, waiting in line to enter. Suddenly, there was a minor conflict in the procession. Then, Chu Ning heard a lot of commotion coming from behind.

Those who dared to cause trouble on such an occasion were either idiots or people with strength and capital. It even caught the attention of the people who were checking the invitation cards; they turned around to look.

Chu Ning and Yan Shen looked at each other. From her blazing eyes, Yan Shen strangely sensed her curiosity about what was going on at the back.

Before either of them could do anything, the troublemaker had already charged to the front.

A large group of bodyguards surrounded a young man. Everyone present was shrewd. They could tell at a glance that the bodyguards around the man were divided into two groups. One group surrounded him and protected him as he walked forward, while the other surrounded the outer layer and wanted to stop him.

Chu Ning quietly tugged at the corner of Yan Shen’s shirt and asked softly, “Who is this? Why didn’t I see him in the information?”

Before Yan Shen could answer, the man seemed to be impatient from being stopped. His face was filled with hostility as he shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that no one could hear him, “You bunch of idiots, you’re just employees, and you dare to stop this young master!”

He realized that he was still tightly surrounded by bodyguards. He spewed, “Trash! Idiots! I’m the second young master of Jing City’s Lu clan! Being here, even your master has to be polite to our Lu family! A bunch of idiots!”

Upon hearing that it was a member of Jing City’s Lu clan, the people who were just watching the show began to whisper to each other. “The Lu family in Jing City?” Chu Ning asked curiously. “I didn’t see them listed in the invitation list.”

Yan Shen furrowed his brows, as if he felt that the matter was tricky.

Chu Ning could feel Yan Shen’s nervousness and began to calculate in her heart. The Yan family had a very high status in M City. Moreover, they had a profound heritage that had been passed down for several generations. Not to mention that Chu Ning was just a child from an ordinary family. No matter how capable she was, it could only be considered a mid-career switch. Even in the Ye family, only her adoptive mother could rely on her maternal family to negotiate with the Yan family. Even the only heir of the Yan family felt that this was something tricky. Thinking of this, Chu Ning frowned slightly.

Yan Shen eyes were dark and unreadable. He knew that it was normal for Chu Ning not to see it in the information because the Lu family in Jing City was not on the invitation list.

Yan Shen leaned closer to Chu Ning’s ear and explained to her in a low voice, “Generally, when the children of families with some background introduce their origins, they will use the name of the place where their family is located and the family name. Because most families only became rich after the founding of the country, they usually use the name of the place after the founding of the country. However, there were a few families that had existed since before that. Because they had produced many talents and this has continued to this day, when introducing themselves, they had always used the name before the founding of the country. They are proud of it.”

Yan Shen glanced at the man who was still shouting at the top of his lungs. A look of disdain flashed across his face. “These families are basically all in B City, so they all use the former name of B City. The Lu family in Jing City is one of them.”

Chu Ning roughly understood, but there was still one thing she didn’t understand. “It sounds like these families are very powerful. Isn’t this banquet to help Su Kun’s son make connections? Then why weren’t they invited?”

Even though he was surrounded by a group of people, the second young master of the Lu family was almost at the entrance of the cruise ship. His hoarse voice became clear again. Chu Ning heard the demonic voice enter her ears. “Idiot! This young master has never been stopped from going anywhere! I’m showing you respect by attending this lousy banquet! Your Su family doesn’t want to stay in B City anymore, right?”

Chu Ning’s ears hurt from the shock. She could not help but complain to Yan Shen, “This second young master is quite energetic.”

Yan Shen did not expect her to be able to complain in such a chaotic situation. It was a little funny, but he still continued to give an explanation for her question. “These few families are all self-reliant on their status and have always been unwilling to communicate with outsiders. Even collaborations and business deals are like charity. The Su family didn’t invite them because they didn’t want to invite trouble as they’ve never participated in this kind of thing.”

“Although they are arrogant, they are indeed powerful and have a profound heritage. Ordinary families are not willing to provoke them easily, and there are many small families that rely on them. No matter how much others tolerate and give in, the Su family is definitely not afraid of these few families. Now that they had delivered a slap to Su Kun’s face like this, he would definitely not let it go.”
