329 The zealous Yang Yuan (1/2)

The palace could not lie to Ren Xiaosu, so gratitude tokens came with every sincere gratitude. If it wasn't sincere, he wouldn't receive any tokens.

No matter how earnest and sincere Zong Cheng behaved, Ren Xiaosu did not believe him. Even without the palace, Ren Xiaosu would still not have believed him. Otherwise, he would have lived a wasted life for the past 17 years.

Zong Cheng did not stay around for longer. Ren Xiaosu did not know what this guy was up to. He just smiled and answered whatever he said.

Yan Liuyuan watched as Ren Xiaosu clasped hands with Zong Cheng. All there was left to do was to take vows to become blood brothers with the other party.

After Zong Cheng finally left, Ren Xiaosu heaved a sigh of relief. ”It's really difficult dealing with these people from the strongholds. We all know that we're just putting on an act, yet we still have to go along with it and cooperate with each other.”

”Bro, you were smiling very sincerely just now.” Yan Liuyuan laughed and said, ”I seriously thought you were about to acknowledge him as your blood brother.”

”Don't you know how capable your brother is?” Ren Xiaosu said proudly.

After sending off the visitor, someone knocked on the door again. Ren Xiaosu thought that rascal, Zong Cheng, had come back again. He immediately put on a smile and went to answer the door. When he opened it, he was almost about to shake the other party's hand. ”Bro!”

Yang Yu'an, who was standing outside, looked at Ren Xiaosu in surprise. He did not understand what was happening.

”Hahaha.” Ren Xiaosu was embarrassed. ”That was just a misunderstanding. Who are you?”

Although Ren Xiaosu had gone to the gala the other night, Yang Yu'an only came out of the villa after he left the function with Yang Xiaojin. So Ren Xiaosu had not seen Yang Yu'an, nor knew who he was.

Yang Yu'an smiled and said, ”Hello, my name is Yang Yu'an. I'm Yang Xiaojin's third uncle.”

”Oh!” Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment before quickly moving aside. ”Please, come in.”

Ren Xiaosu was thinking to himself that it must have been this manchild who had invited him to the gala without giving him any prep time. He was probably trying to make him stay away from Yang Xiaojin when he did that.

But of course, Ren Xiaosu would not mention that explicitly. Yang Yu'an had personally come over with his bodyguards and subordinates following behind him. They entered the yard as well and kept watch on the surroundings.

Without waiting for Ren Xiaosu to say anything, Yang Yu'an started speaking. ”I'm really sorry. My arrangements had not been properly thought out, so there was a lack of preparation when I invited you to attend the gala. The main issue was that this gala had already been in the plans for a long time. But since you just arrived at the stronghold, I was a little negligent in hosting you.”

Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, ”No, no, I'm just a refugee. It was great that I got to see what these parties are like.”

Wang Fugui watched their interaction through the window and mumbled, ”Those two foxes.”

Yan Liuyuan chuckled and said, ”My brother is no fox.”

”Then what is he?”

”A predator of foxes.”

At this moment, Yang Yu'an had someone bring the gifts over. ”I didn't prepare anything too lavish on my first visit, but I hope you'll like it!”

”I like it, I like it. I like any gifts from you.” Ren Xiaosu laughed.

Ren Xiaosu waited for Yang Yu'an to get down to business. He did not believe the second-in-command of the Yang Consortium would come here just to pay him a visit and offer him gifts in apology. There was definitely something more important than that.

In the end, Yang Yu'an beat around the bush for half an hour before changing the topic to what he wanted to discuss. Ren Xiaosu really admired the patience of such people.
