Chapter 700: Music Soiree 12

Leng Xuan gave him a glance and said indifferently, "I told you, I’m a bodyguard, and I’ve made my identity very clear."

Lin Tao wiped his sweat nervously, thinking to himself, this guy is bringing up the very issue he should be avoiding. Earlier, it might have been acceptable to say he was playing possum, but now that Old Master Liu had clearly pointed out his identity, how could he still speak like this? Wasn’t he just making it difficult for him to save face? Although annoyed, he didn’t dare to express it and hastily said with a forced smile, "Brother Leng is joking. With your status, who would dare to have you serve as a bodyguard?"

"But I really am a private bodyguard. That’s my profession," Leng Xuan said. "I remember Young Master Lin saying earlier that bodyguards are not allowed in the main hall, as it would break the rules. Now, do you still want to throw me out?"

Lin Tao was utterly at a loss now. If he insisted on it, he would undoubtedly offend Liu Yuntian and with the power of Liu Corporation, it would be easy to lead his family business into a crisis of closure. If he did not insist, although it would not severely offend Liu Yuntian, his image in the eyes of everyone present would be greatly diminished, and he might even be labeled as a bully using his influence.

With this thought, he glared fiercely at Gao Jun beside him. If it hadn’t been for this guy’s instigation, would he have drawn fire to himself? He was too foolish, having agreed to stand up for him. Now good, not only had he failed to gain any advantage, but he’d also stirred up trouble. If the old man at home found out, he’d get a tongue-lashing to death.

Gao Jun was also stunned at this moment, clearly not expecting that Leng Xuan’s relationship with the Old Master Liu was so intricate. Although it wasn’t him who took the initiative today, he definitely couldn’t dissociate himself from the incident. If Leng Xuan became unhappy and used the power of Liu Corporation to retaliate against his family, that would spell disaster. For a time, both of them felt uneasy, not knowing what to do.

Just then, Liu Yuntian spoke up, "Alright, all of you, get out. Don’t stand here and be eyesores. I’ll be speaking with your families later to see how they teach their children. Humph!"

Lin Tao and Gao Jun felt as if they had been granted amnesty and immediately scurried out of the hall, grey and defeated. Whatever punishment their families had in store for them was better than losing face here.

With the two troublemakers gone, Liu Yuntian waved his hand and said, "Alright, let’s continue the party. There’s no need for everyone to cluster here."

Once the crowd had dispersed, Li Mengjie immediately rushed forward, grabbing Leng Xuan by the arm and demanding, "Alright! Cold Bodyguard, with such a status, you’ve been hiding it from us all this time. Tell me, how are you going to compensate us?" She and Ling Xuejiu had been utterly shocked when they heard Liu Yuntian announce that Leng Xuan was his godson. In their minds, aside from his good fighting skills, there was nothing else remarkable about Leng Xuan. They had also found it strange how Ling Tian and Ling Ao were so courteous to him.

Today, having heard what Liu Yuntian said, they seemed to understand a bit. It turned out that Leng Xuan’s status was so distinguished; no wonder Ling Tian and the others were so kind to him. However, they didn’t realize that their speculations were completely wrong, and of course, no one corrected them.

Just as Leng Xuan was at a loss for how to respond, he heard Liu Yuntian ask with a chuckle, "Leng Xuan, who are these two beautiful young ladies? Introduce them to me."

Before Leng Xuan could speak, Li Mengjie rushed to say, "Grandfather Liu, hello, my name is Li Mengjie, my father is Li Shaoyi."
