Chapter 187: Chapter 0187: Overestimating Oneself

"Pfft—"

Upon hearing this, not only did the group of young men and women burst into laughter, but even some of the people sitting around couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

One of the middle-aged men in a suit turned his head and said to Chu Ge, "Young man, I’ve been listening to your conversation for a while now. These youths do indeed have a bad attitude, and they are a bit arrogant. But at least what they’re saying is true, whereas your tall tale is quite far-fetched, isn’t it?"

"That’s right!" Another person sneered: "Lend 20 billion from Zhao Wuji? I might as well say I borrowed a private jet from Mr. Ouyang, but just forgot to bring it with me—that’s why I took a commercial flight."

"Hmm?" Chu Ge’s gaze shifted and he looked at the man with a smile, "Mr. Ouyang doesn’t have a private jet."

"Just keep bluffing," the man glanced at Chu Ge and turned his head away, but his muttered words still spread around: "This young fella probably doesn’t even know what the four words ’the Ouyang family’ mean in Shanghai—a great family like that, and they wouldn’t have their own private jet?"

"Did you hear that?" Chu Ge looked with annoyance at the instigator of this incident, "You’re probably a fake Mr. Ouyang. Even ordinary people know that a major family like the Ouyang family would definitely have their own private plane."

But Mr. Ouyang didn’t show any reaction, instead, a smile spread across his face. Yet, his eyes remained tightly closed, and he was even letting out light snores.

"Did you hear that?" Li Guangcheng looked at Chu Ge and sneered, "Keep boasting. Your absurd bragging—no one here believes it!"

"Suit yourself." Chu Ge smiled but didn’t want to say anything further.

With his current mindset, the bravado and petty provocations of these young people were merely seasoning for him, utterly unable to stir any anger.

The young people were just too arrogant, and while they were not inherently bad, seeing Chu Ge stop talking, they didn’t press further. After muttering among themselves, they started chatting quietly.

A few minutes passed, and Li Guangcheng, who was wearing a watch, suddenly stood up and said to the others, "You guys continue chatting, I’ll go to the restroom for a bit."

"Sure, Li, go ahead!" After greeting him, Li Guangcheng left his seat and gradually disappeared down the aisle.

Chu Ge slightly adjusted his posture, realizing the spiritual energy was much denser high in the sky than below. However, due to the cabin separation, people inside couldn’t absorb it.

But even if they could, it would only benefit ordinary Postnatal Realm martial artists. For Chu Ge’s current realm, the mere spiritual energy virtually had no effect on him.

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out next to him: "Mr. Chu?"

"Hmm?" Chu Ge opened his eyes and saw a middle-aged man in casual wear standing in the aisle looking at him, giving him a slight bow.

"How come you’re here?" Chu Ge looked at him with surprise and laughed, "With your status, shouldn’t you be on a private plane?"

Hearing Chu Ge’s words, Xiao Jie and the others exchanged glances, reading strong disdain in each other’s eyes.

Is this guy not satisfied with how embarrassed he made himself before? Now he’s blowing his trumpet again about private planes. Why doesn’t he claim he came on his private submarine?

"Hey, I just wanted to experience something novel for once. I had no idea I’d actually bump into Mr. Chu and Mr. Ouyang—it’s truly an unexpected honor!" The middle-aged man spoke and sat down next to Chu Ge.

To Chu Ge’s left was Mr. Ouyang, and on the far left was Zheng Lihong.

Hearing the voices, Mr. Ouyang opened his eyes and was surprised to see the middle-aged man: "Xiao Zhao?"

Indeed, this casually dressed middle-aged man was the Chairman of Tianrui Bank, Zhao Wuji!

Hearing Mr. Ouyang’s greeting, Zhao Wuji didn’t dare to act presumptuous and quickly replied: "Yes, it’s me. Mr. Ouyang, you look even healthier than before."

"Hehe, all thanks to Mr. Chu!" The Old Master waved his hand and looked at Zhao Wuji with a smile, "But I’m really surprised to see God of Wealth Zhao on a commercial flight."

However, while they were conversing, Xiao Jie couldn’t hold back and turned her seat around again, exclaiming, "Will you ever stop? One moment claiming an annual income of millions, the next saying you know Zhao Wuji, even borrowing 20 billion from him. And now what, you actually bring someone to impersonate Zhao Wuji? Don’t you realize you’ve already blown your cover? Can’t you save yourself some face?"

Stunned by Xiao Jie’s merciless words, Zhao Wuji looked at her, then turned his gaze to Chu Ge: "This is..."

"Don’t look at me." Chu Ge waved his hand, holding back a laugh, "I don’t know her. Just a casual acquaintance. I just said I knew the Chairman of Tianrui Bank, Zhao Wuji, and she gave me a harsh lecture, accusing me of spouting nonsense."

"Uh..." Hearing Chu Ge’s words, Zhao Wuji found himself between laughter and tears and turned to Xiao Jie: "Miss, I really am Zhao Wuji."

However, to Zhao Wuji’s astonishment, as soon as these words came out, everyone around burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, even this guy dares to say he’s Zhao Wuji, God of Wealth?" A middle-aged man in a suit scoffed.

"Hmph, these days people..." Another man in a white suit snorted disdainfully and shook his head, "Nowadays, people who know nothing dare to say anything. The fact that he has lived this long without being beaten to death is indeed a miracle."

An old man also wore a mocking expression, but as he turned his head to join the jeering, he suddenly paused, staring intently at Zhao Wuji for a moment, then quickly turned his head away.

"Father, what’s wrong?" a middle-aged man sitting next to the old man asked.

"Nothing." The old man shook his head. Only after a few seconds did he turn his head again cautiously, taking another look and muttering, "He looks exactly the same... Could this man really be Zhao Wuji?"

Regardless of what the others were saying, seeing Xiao Jie turn around, the other two did the same.

Wu You’s gaze stayed on Xiao Jie, comforting her, "Xiao Jie, calm down. I’ve told you already, it’s useless to lower ourselves to the level of some bumpkins who haven’t seen the world. If they embarrass themselves, what does it have to do with us?"

Then there was Zhang Cheng, who pushed his glasses up and looked at Zhao Wuji with a sneer, "Humph, not even you believe your own words, do you?"
