Chapter 306: Chapter 0306: Humble and Submissive

Meanwhile, in another private room.

A man in a white suit sat there with gloating pleasure, looking at the Shen Congwen opposite him, whose face was fouler than excrement, and said, "Brother, I heard you were humiliated by that woman Tang Xin today?"

Shen Congwen glanced at him, silently picked up his glass and gulped down the wine.

"You really are something else, stirring up trouble with that Little Chili for no reason. Now it’s our Shen Family that’s losing face. I heard you even lost 10% of our Shen Family’s shares to her, tsk tsk tsk. If dad finds out about this, you’re definitely in big trouble."

Shen Conghai’s words were loaded with apparent concern for Shen Congwen, but clearly, Shen Congwen read a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes, gritting his teeth he said, "If it wasn’t for you gambling away our face against her and losing, would I have bothered to provoke her?"

It was obvious he was trying to shift the blame onto him.

Shen Conghai could not stand for this, he slammed the table and stood up staring at Shen Congwen, "Shen Congwen! What do you mean by this? You lose face for our Shen Family and even our shares, and now you want to dump this pot on my head?"

Shen Congwen stood up too, having already endured enough humiliation from Tang Xin, and now to be lectured by this loser, he directed all his rage onto Shen Conghai, "This mess was all started by you! Besides, even if I did lose the shares of the family business, what of it? I earned this business with hard work! I have the right to manage it! And you! A leech who only knows how to mooch off his parents! What right do you have to lecture me?"

"You!!!" Shen Conghai hated it most when someone called him a freeloading parasite!

He had made investments before, but they all came to nothing, and he knew Shen Congwen was sabotaging him behind the scenes. He just couldn’t stand to see him succeed!

"Tang Xin is right next door now, if you have the guts, go get your face back!" Shen Conghai said disdainfully, with his chin up.

Shen Congwen scoffed, "Get my face back? Do you think I don’t know the Tang Sect’s people are everywhere outside? Are you trying to make me regain face or embarrass myself again?"

Shen Conghai snorted in annoyance, feeling deflated because his little scheme had been seen through.

As the two brothers argued, the door to the private room was pushed open.

A man dressed in a brown casual outfit came in, sensing something off in the atmosphere of the room, he frowned slightly, "What’s going on?"

The moment the two brothers saw who was coming in, they quickly hid their unpleasant emotions and put on a pleasing smile, "Young Master Nangong, nothing, nothing, please come in and have a seat."

Shen Congwen pulled out the main seat’s chair, gesturing for him to sit.

Shen Conghai made a face, brown-noser!

The visitor was none other than Nangong Yunhai, who sat down with a lazy posture, his pale face showing no emotion.

Beside him, Shen Conghai seemed to be deliberately trying to embarrass Shen Congwen, saying in a mocking tone, "Young Master Nangong, it’s really nothing, just that my brother was bullied in the Gambling Stone Field today, and even lost 10% of our Shen Family’s shares!"

"Oh?" Nangong Yunhai looked surprised and asked indifferently, "Who would be so bold to bully the Eldest Young Master Shen?"

Shen Congwen glared at Shen Conghai with a hint of hesitation before speaking, "Actually, it’s not a big deal."

How could he possibly mention such an embarrassing matter in front of Young Master Nangong!

"It’s that Little Chili, Tang Xin," Shen Conghai knew that he was too proud to say it himself and took the initiative to speak. "This Tang Xin relies on the fact that the Tang Family is on par with our Shen Family in Su City, and she completely disregards us. Today, my brother was humiliated by her to the extent of being stripped and standing at the front gate for people to watch like a fool, even kneeling down to her and kowtowing. What’s even worse is that we lost ten percent of the Shen Family’s shares!"

Shen Conghai said it all in one breath.

To the side, Shen Congwen’s face was extremely embarrassed, but he still maintained a smile.

This damn Shen Conghai!

"Oh?" Nangong Yunhai’s eyes flickered with a hint of disdain and contempt, "To be bullied to such an extent?"

What he despised the most were those who got bullied and didn’t know how to fight back! Cowards!

Shen Congwen sighed deeply, "There’s nothing we can do; after all, they have the backing of the Tang Sect. Initially, I wasn’t afraid of her either, but then suddenly a Middle-stage Innate Martial Artist appeared and defeated Wu Yong. I even told them Wu Yong was someone you brought over, but they said that even if the person brought by the Nangong Family Master came to Su City, they would still have to watch the Tang Family’s face."

A cunning glint flashed in Shen Congwen’s eyes. He wanted Nangong Yunhai to take up the fight for him and teach Tang Xin a good lesson, but he couldn’t say it directly. After all, Nangong Yunhai’s visit to their Shen Family was for business reasons and not because they had good relations.

"Is that so?" Nangong Yunhai’s expression darkened, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, "Did she really say that?"

"Yes! Absolutely true!" Shen Congwen affirmed positively, certain that Nangong Yunhai would not confront Wu Yong about this. So now, as long as he could ignite Nangong Yunhai’s rage, why fear he wouldn’t take action?

"It seems that the Nangong Family is not highly regarded in Su City," Nangong Yunhai spoke slowly, with a hint of chill in his tone. It seemed he needed to pay a visit to the Tang Family during his trip to Su City.

"No, no, no, our Shen Family has always looked up to the Nangong Family. It’s a tremendous honor for us that Young Master Nangong could visit our Shen Family today."

Shen Congwen spoke graciously.

Shen Conghai felt like he was about to vomit, such a sycophant! He couldn’t even get to the point.

"Young Master Nangong, actually, Tang Xin is dining in this Chinese restaurant, and even before you arrived, I went to urge the kitchen to hurry up with our dishes, and I bumped into her. I was thinking we’d serve the dishes as soon as you arrived. I even told her your identity, but she not only wouldn’t listen, she said that even if you came in person, you would have to bow down to her."

By now, Nangong Yunhai’s face had turned extremely sour. His thin lips pressed into a straight line, "Which room are they in? Take me there now! I want to see for myself what this bowing and scraping is!"

With that, he stood up with a whoosh, and due to the large movement, the chair behind him clattered to the ground.

But no one cared about the chair at this point, as Shen Conghai led the way eagerly, "They’re in the 201 private room on the second floor, which is the best in this Chinese restaurant. We wanted to reserve it for you originally, but she got there first."

On the other side, Tang Xin and Chu Ge were chatting warmly, with Huo Tianqian feeling like he was an extra-large light bulb, somewhat redundant.

Suddenly, Tang Xin glanced at Huo Tianqian and spoke with a smile, "Master Huo, I heard that you almost lost your life in our Su City a while back?"
