Chapter 137: Half Of Jiang Bei’s Wealth

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Ao of Hai Dong! That was such a powerful name!

Before the rise of Master Chen, he was the head of all tyc.o.o.ns in Jiang Bei. Even without his strong backing from his in-law, his power could have rivaled Tang Yuanqin at the other side of the province.

Even a billionaire such as Boss Yang dared not to compare himself with such a mighty figure.

People in the courtyard as well as in the main hall boiled over once they heard Xu Ao’s name. Even Chen Zhenxin was taken by surprise and hurried to the door. By then, only Grandpa and Great-Great Uncles still remained in their chairs, everyone else stood up to welcome Xu Ao.

“Xu Ao?”

Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up and the smug smile on his face evaporated. He worked for Tang Yuanqin and therefore knew his boss’s rival, Xu Ao, very well.

In a few seconds, a large group of people strode through the entrance to the courtyard.

All of them carried overbearing demeanors; one would only need to look into their eyes to see the shadows of their ill.u.s.trative achievements. The leader of the pack was a scholarly looking middle-aged man. Without knowing who he was, people might as well have mistaken him as a professor.

“That really is Xu Ao!”

Boss Yang could no longer remain in his chair, so he hurried to greet the visitor.

“Brother Xu, why are you here?”

Boss Yang beamed from side to side.

“It’s new year, I am here to pay tribute to Mr. Chen and wish him a happy new year.” Xu Ao said readily.

Having heard the word Mr Chen for the third time, everyone knew right away that he was here for Chen Fan instead of Chen Zhenxin. So people looked to Chen Fan with great interest.

Chen An was so shocked by the development that he spilled half of the drink in his cup. Chen Xu on the other hand was stunned again. His ego was dealt such a heavy blow that he felt the sky had fallen onto his head.

Chen Ning was rendered speechless.

Yan s.h.i.+gao, Zhen Jiulin, Xu Ao…

So many multi-billionaires came to visit Chen Fan. Why? Was Chen Fan really the cousin she used to know?

She watched as Xu Ao saluted to Chen Fan and then walked into the main hall.

“Great Lord Chen, Lord Chen and Boss Chen.”

Xu Ao greeted all the important people in the room. As the top dog of the entire region, he carried himself with great measure of confidence and a.s.suredness. Even Chen Zhenxin with his bureaucratic demeanor seemed to command less authority than him.

“You are welcome, Boss Xu. You came all the way from Hai Zhou and we feel terrible for not rolling out the red carpet for you ahead of time.”

In the end, Chen Huaian managed to break the silence and replied with an even tone.

“Haha. It’s Mr. Chen’s family gathering, of course I had to come and pay tribute.” Xu Ao laughed out loud and then turned toward Chen Gexin and w.a.n.g Xiaoyun. He bowed deeply.

“Mr. and Mrs Chen. I wish you a happy new year.”

“Long live the Chens!”

The group of tyc.o.o.ns that accompanied Xu Ao bowed toward the Chen Family and announced in unison like a group of disciplined trade members

They possessed such overwhelming and over the top manner that they out right scared many people in the mansion. A pin drop silence fell over the entire estate as no one dared to speak a word. Since the Jin City was not part of Jiang Bei region, not a lot of people in the estate knew Zhou Tianhao or Baldy Liu. However, their greasy pudgy faces and dangerous looking beady eyes were tell tale signs of their dominating positions in Jaing Bei.

Chen Zhenxin managed to appear calm on the surface, however, veins popped on the back of his hand as he clutched the armrest even tighter to overcome the strong emotions.

Xu Ao only greeted him with a perfunctory wave, however, he bowed deeply and wholeheartedly at Chen Fan’s parents as if he was their child. The differential treatment was too conspicuous

Standing before the renowned successful businessman, Chen Fan’s parents hurried to stand up from their chairs. w.a.n.g Xiaoyun urged: “Boss Xu, there is no need for such unduly respect. We have only met after all.”

“Haha. Mrs Chen, don’t be a stranger. We might have just met you, but everyone in Jiang Bei knows and respects your strapping son.” Xu Ao cracked a smile and then shook his head.

“Chen Fan?”

Everyone was stunned.

Although everyone had expected it from him, they still couldn’t believe what they heard as the words tumbled out from Xu Ao’s mouth.

Chen Fan was just an ordinary teenager. How was he able to spur so many rich and powerful men from Jiang Bei to pay tribute to him?

“Are you sure you have the right person? Chen Fan is a delinquent teen brat…” Chen Fan’s Second Auntie uttered without much thought.

“Lady, be careful now.” Xu Ao’s face hardened.

Baldy Liu who stood behind him said threateningly: “If you try to throw that out there while you are in Jiang Bei, you would definitely get hurt.”
