“Isn’t that the Chen Group’s young master Chen Nian?” someone who recognized him asked. “Why is he kneeling in front of Bingbing?”

Lu Xuan’s group of classmates were presently looking at Chen Nian in a daze, not understanding what they were watching.

The scene in the room had defied all their expectations. To them, Chen Nian was originally someone way above them, like an untouchable mystical dragon in the sky, yet now here he was, kneeling in front of everyone.

Furthermore, Lu Xuan, who they thought came from a regular family, was actually just casually sitting there. From the way Chen Nian looked at Lu Xuan, they could see he was terrified of him.

Chen Nian’s act of getting on his knees was less about wanting to kneel before Ren Bingbing and more about his fear of Lu Xuan.

“This is way too fantastical. I’ve heard that the Young Master Chen doesn’t even mince his words in front of other leaders in the city!”

“Pinch me; I must be dreaming!”

“I’ve heard that the Chen family has connections in many industries across Min Nan, and are extremely powerful. Now seeing how scared he is of Lu Xuan, it’s starting to seem like Lu Xuan was secretly the son of a powerful family!”

In their minds, Lu Xuan’s classmates could not help but begin to concoct a grand story about a grudge between two powerful families.

From their point of view, someone who could force Chen Nian, a top tier young master in Min Nan, to his knees in apology must be an even more incredible young heir.

Still, many of them found this hard to believe. After all, Lu Xuan had been their classmate for many years, and there was never any sign that he had this kind of secret identity.

The more they thought about it, the more incredulous they became.

At this time, the original occupants of the private room were even more bewildered. They had never seen Young Master Chen act like this before.

When they looked back at Lu Xuan, the look in their eyes had completely changed.

From their first impression, Lu Xuan was dressed like an ordinary boy-next-door, like his clothes were bought online, and looked inexpensive. Yet now, his style somehow looked a little like haute couture. Could it be some brand they had never even heard of?

Many amongst them were already beginning to commit Lu Xuan’s face to memory. He was someone who could bring Chen Nian to his knees with a single sentence. No matter what industry their parents were heads of, he was not someone a rich heir or heiresses like them could afford to cross.

They all had enjoyed a silver-spoon upbringing, and in their day to day lives following Chen Nian, they were very flamboyant, throwing their weight around Xia City.

At this point in time, they suddenly felt like what they had been doing was too dangerous, as they would never know when they might run into existences one could not afford to provoke.

“What are you looking at me for? You’re apologizing to her, not to me!” Lu Xuan shot a look at Chen Nian and rebuked him.

Instantly, Chen Nian turned to face Ren Bingbing ingratiatingly, saying, “Miss, I did not know you were actually classmates with Mister Lu, and today I have acted rashly. How about this, I’ll give you a million for your cleaning fees. What do you think?”

As he proposed a million in compensation, Chen Nian felt an aching in his heart. While he was one of the Chen family’s sons, he had not yet taken the helm of the Chen family.

He had some money, but a million was still not a small sum; it was at least two to three months of his spending money.

Even so, if he weighed it against the terrible consequences of angering the man next to her, a million was a small price to pay.

Ren Bingbing was feeling slightly at a loss. She did not know whether to accept the money or not because her brain had already completely melted into a pile of mush.

She did not understand why it had come to this, and it felt like her views of the world, values, and life had been completely remolded.

The boyfriend she had thought loved her deeply had actually sold her out to someone else, to protect his own career.
