Chapter 80 Don't be angry, don't be angry

Xu Zhiyun sat on the sofa with a stern face, fiddling absentmindedly with his collection of Wenwan bracelets.

Lu Chengwen smiled: "Uncle Xu, thanks to the Xu family's strong support this time, I was able to complete the fundraising for the shantytown project. This is a contract, please have a look and sign it, and the guarantee for this project will be secured. Regardless of the project's future profits, Houde Group will be able to recover its costs."

Xu Zhiyun glanced at it, snorted, and slammed the contract on the table.

"Lu Chengwen, your father and I have been friends for decades, no need to beat around the bush. I'll tell you directly, marrying my daughter is impossible!"

Lu Chengwen was stunned.

He thought to himself, do you have eyes? This is a commercial guarantee contract, not a wedding invitation!

"No, what I mean is, you know about this shantytown project, it's highly likely to lose money. Although our stock price started to rise yesterday, it has calmed down a lot today, and the increase is not as big as expected. Also, there are fewer calls inquiring about internal housing sources. I estimate..."

Xu Zhiyun tapped the coffee table with his pipe: "I can lose money, but I will never sell my daughter!"

Lu Chengwen thought to himself, you old man!

Are you even listening to me? Who asked you to marry off your daughter?

"Uncle Xu, this is a commercial contract, can you please take a look at it before you speak?"

"No need!"

Xu Zhiyun stood up excitedly, waving his pipe: "I'm telling you, Lu Chengwen, this project is your poisonous vision, but it's still uncertain. You use this money-losing project to manipulate the stock market and cut leeks, that's your skill!"

"But!" He waved his hand forcefully, "Xu Zhiyun has seen big storms. Don't say I invested two hundred billion, even if it was two thousand billion, I would throw all our family's assets in, and I wouldn't be threatened by you!"

Lu Chengwen looked back, Zhao Gang and Jiang Shihan were both speechless.

Lu Chengwen took a deep breath: "Uncle Xu, look at the contract first. This is a contract, it has nothing to do with Xuejiao. It's because Xuejiao refused to sign it that I came to you. My intention is..."

"If Xuejiao won't sign it, then I definitely won't!"

Xu Zhiyun said: "I know! You just want to force us to let you be together, right? Give us this benefit, and let our Xuejiao be with you. And you will use sweet words to deceive my daughter to be with you, then get her pregnant and force us to hold a wedding. Then our Xu family's property will be yours in the end, right? In the future, not only the Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory but all my pharmaceutical factories, research and development teams, scientific research institutions, hospitals... will all belong to you, right?"

Lu Chengwen tilted his head and looked at the old man weakly.

He thought to himself, you really dare to think! The guy with this kind of thinking is called Long Aotian, not me!

Your family's living ancestor, I can't avoid her fast enough!

Lu Chengwen tried his best to suppress his anxiety: "Uncle, please take a look at this contract, just one look..."

"Why should I look at it? I don't agree!"

Lu Chengwen suddenly became furious and roared: "You look at it for me!"

Xu Zhiyun was stunned: "You dare to yell at me!?"

Lu Chengwen grabbed his collar and pulled him in front of him. Xu Zhiyun wanted to resist, but Lu Chengwen was now a true ancient martial artist and his physical strength was so tyrannical that ordinary people couldn't imagine it.

Grabbing him was like picking up a chicken.

Lu Chengwen gritted his teeth and pressed his head on the contract, angrily saying: "Commercial contract! Commercial contract! There's nothing about relationships in it! And there's no taking advantage of your Xu family! You look at it clearly for me! If you can't see clearly, I'll twist your head off!"

Xu Zhiyun was scared.

Although Lu Chengwen was a jerk before, he wasn't this bad.

Before, he would just laugh it off when they met, with a cunning smile, and his words were full of schemes and calculations.

But today, he was irritable.

Xu Zhiyun looked back, and the servants in the house were also frightened by Lu Chengwen and did not dare to make a sound.

"Lu Chengwen."

Chen Qingbin's face immediately turned ugly: "A useless young master."

The people around him laughed.

Chen Qingbin put the antique back in its box, and his assistant took it back to its place.

Chen Qingbin said with a stern face: "This boy, he used to be quite clever when he was a child, but the older he gets, the more useless he becomes. If it weren't for my father always liking this boy, humph, I wouldn't let him step foot in our house."

The house steward smiled and said: "After all, he is the eldest son of the Lu family. Although he is a good-for-nothing, we still have to give a face to the Lu family."

Chen Qingbin sneered: "A man, I'm not afraid of him being bad, lustful, uneducated, or even ugly."

"Then... what are you afraid of?"

Chen Qingbin said: "The most fearsome thing is being spineless! Men with ability are all bad, all lustful, and all have their flaws. But a cowardly waste with no temper and no guts, who only knows how to make some dirty money with petty tricks, is destined to be a failure. When I see such a man, I despise him from the bottom of my heart."

"Then... shall we not see him?"

"See him. Why not?" Chen Qingbin said, "Let him in. Believe it or not? With just a few words, I can scare him so much that he'll stutter and tremble his way out of our Chen residence."

"That's right, Master, your aura is too much for ordinary people to bear."

After a while, Lu Chengwen walked in with Jiang Shihan and Zhao Gang.

Lu Chengwen tried to adjust his emotions for a long time, the anger he received at the old Xu's house made him more and more frustrated the more he thought about it.

He forced a smile: "Uncle Chen! Ah, long time no see, Uncle Chen is still so mighty and handsome!"

"Hmm." Chen Qingbin smiled perfunctorily and said in an official tone, "Chengwen is here, sit down."

"Thank you, Uncle."

"Is there something wrong?"

Lu Chengwen felt uncomfortable.

[Damn it, why is this old guy also like this? Did I tear down your family's ancestral hall? Can't you even offer a cup of tea when guests come?]

Lu Chengwen said: "It's like this, Uncle Chen, didn't our Chen family invest in a project with me a while ago, the shantytown one, one hundred and twenty billion? I have a guarantee here..."

"Alright." Chen Qingbin said: "It's just over a hundred billion, I can afford to lose it."

Lu Chengwen thought to himself:

[Why don't you lose yourself to death, you bastard! Can't you just let me finish?]

"No, what I mean is..."

"Lu Chengwen."

"Ah?"

"I know your little calculations." Chen Qingbin said, "Don't think that just because your eyeballs roll, you think you are incredibly wise and can crush the whole world. Your little tricks are just like a child playing with mud in my eyes."

[Here we go again.]

Chen Qingbin also muttered endlessly: "I didn't agree with you being with my Xiao Yun back then, you know that. Now times have changed, let bygones be bygones. Besides, are you two suitable? Do you think you are suitable? My daughter, her figure, appearance, talent, wisdom, ability... which one of them isn't top-notch? Yes, you have some money, but our family has been aristocratic for generations, and what about yours? To put it bluntly, you are just nouveau riche! You have money today, but what about in the future? Who can guarantee that your family's property won't be squandered by you..."

Lu Chengwen closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down:

[Life is like a play, we meet because of fate. Why get angry over small things, thinking back, what's the point? If I anger myself to death, who benefits? If I get sick, who will replace me...]

Jiang Shihan listened to Lu Chengwen's inner voice and burst into laughter
