222 Too Scared To Stand Up (1/2)

”Is that Brother Xu you are talking about Chen Xu?”

Even as Zhou Qinya was about to give up, she heard a calm voice came up beside her.

”Do you know Brother Xu?” Loong Fei was taken aback. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”It had only been half a year and Chen Xu is already getting worse!” Chen Fan shook his head and said: ”I thought he would learn his lesson, but he is still the same!”

”Hey asshole, watch your mouth.” Loong Fei narrowed his eyes and gave Chen Fan a cold glare.

Zhou Qinya was taken aback by Chen Fan's reaction. He knew that although Chen Xu was still a long shot from the top of the elite class in Jin City, he was still much more powerful and influential than the likes of Chen Fan.

Pan Li and the other college students were stunned by the development.

Qi Wangsun's eyes glinted as he looked to Chen Fan thoughtfully.

”Brother Loong, what brings you here?” Qiu Yilun and Qian Lulu finally returned to the group and seeing the tense situation, he hurried to Brother Loong and said: ”He is my classmate, please forgive him if he said anything rude.”

”Ah… It's you, Xiao Qiu.” Loong Fei looked up and saw the awkward and fearful smile on Qiu Yilun's face. He said: ”Your classmate has balls. He just dissed Brother Xu.”

”Brother Xu?”

Qiu Yilun's face turned dark.

Although he was a newcomer in the Jin City, he had already got acquainted if not befriended most of the heirs of elite families in Jin City. Therefore, he knew who Chen Xu was and how powerful he was.

As the CEO of the Chens Group, Chen Zhenxin father lacked any talent to boast about. However, the Chens Group had been making tailwinds lately and had acquired many multi-billion dollar assets. Chen Zhenxin was also promoted at work and adding Chen Xiao's increasing influence, the Chen family had significantly boosted their capabilities and became more deserving of the name ”Chen Family of the Jin City.” Everyone knew that the Chen family had the backing of the military, and no one in their right mind would mess with them.

Chen Xu's prestige surged as his family exerted more influence in the city. He quickly became the leader of his group that consisted heirs of above-average families.

”Brother Loong, do me a favor please, don't tell Brother Xu about it.” Qiu Yilun managed a smile.

”Hehe, do you a favor?” Loong Fei's lips curled in a smile. ”Fine. Xiao Qiu, I will give you a second chance considering you and your friends are new here. But I want you to know that it will only take Brother Xu a word to get rid of you all from this city.”

”Be careful about who you call friends as well. Sometimes you have to learn to distance yourself from some people for your own good.”

Loong Fei left after let out a cold laugh, leaving Qiu Yilun to take in his condescending remarks.

”It's over, Xiao Qiu. Next time, you don't have to stand up for your friends you have just met, you know. Brother Xu is not someone you want to mess with.” Qian Lulu whispered in her boyfriend's ears.

Qiu Yilun had just taken her to greet Chen Xu and she was still deeply in awe with what she saw.

Compared to the small businessmen she had met before, Chen Xu and his friends were much more powerful than them. Every one of them was connected to huge wealth that was over a few hundred million. Although none of them controlled that wealth just yet, their combined resourcefulness and influence was incredible.

Qiu Yilun was not sure what to make of his girlfriend's comment. She was right that he had to think for himself, but he also felt the need to protect his friends.

”Chen Fan, you need to think before you open your mouth. Chen Xu is not someone we want to mess with.” Zhou Qinya said with furrowed brows. ”I really have no idea where you have found your confidence. You could think little of Chen Xu, but did you know how powerful his brothers, Chen An, and Chen Xiao are? One of them even worked closely with Tang Yuanqin. They are way out of our league.”

”Oh, really?”

Chen Fan replied lightly and kept on sipping his wine as if nothing had happened. His nonchalance didn't sit well with his friends, including Qiu Yilun.

Zhou Qinya shook her head and took out her cell phone. She wondered if she needed to call her new boyfriend for help.

They had just started seeing each other and she had decided to take things slowly this time. He was too good to allow a screw-up. It was her dream to marry into a super-rich family and this was her best chance so far. If she let her new boyfriend know that she got into trouble in a club, she might have shattered her carefully maintained image before him.

”Boss, you are making this very difficult for me.” Qiu Yilun heaved a sigh and then said. ”I have heard of Tang Yuanqin even when I was in Lin City, and Chen Xu was the brother of one of Tang Yuanqin's underbosses.”

”I am not worried for myself since I wager Chen Xu wouldn't do anything to me. But if Chen Xu had his eyes set on you, I wouldn't know how I could help you with the limited resources I have.” Qiu Yilun said in a deep voice. ”Boss, listen to me just once ok? Go and apologize to Brother Xu. Rich heirs such as Chen Xu loves people saying a good thing about him. I am sure he would let the matter rest if you say sorry to him personally.”

”You want me to apologize to Chen Xu?”

Chen Fan rolled his eyes and shook his head lightheartedly. ”If I do that, it might scare him so much that he would collapse to the ground.”

Chen Fan was telling the truth. His position in the Chen family was even higher than Chen Huaian. He could have fired Chen Xu's father from his CEO position with a single word. If he mentioned what happened today at the family meeting, Chen Xu would be grounded for months. Of course, Chen Xu would be afraid of him.

”This guys is insane.”

Pan Li and others looked to Chen Fan as if looking at an idiot.

Qi Wangsun straightened his glasses on his nose and murmured. ”Chen Xu, Chen Xiao, Chen Fan… Could they be from the same family? That should explain why he was not afraid of Chen Xu at all as well as his purported relationship with Fang Qiong. ”

”Who said that I would be scared?” A loud voice came up from the other side of the room.

”ha, it's you, Brother Xu! ” Qiu Yilun's face paled as he hurried to greet the speaker.

Zhou Qinya furrowed her brows and heaved a sigh. She rose to her feet and followed Qiu Yilun.
