The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard
Chapter 521 - 0523: Not Daring to Act Rashly

Chapter 521: Chapter 0523: Not Daring to Act Rashly

Tang Youwei was very astonished. He looked at Tang Xin in shock, "If the Lin Family also has the backing of a Sect, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Tang Xin nodded slightly. She looked at Lin Zhang from the corner of her eye. Although Lin Zhang had always been arrogant, he had never resorted to violence at the drop of a hat like now. Moreover, he had even knocked down all those bodyguards in an instant. His strength had increased way too rapidly, which reminded her of her own second brother. Back then, in order to learn ancient martial arts from Tang Sect, her brother had expended so much effort and energy. Now, however, he ended up half-disabled. She really didn’t see what was so good about ancient martial arts.

Tang Xin’s gaze naturally fell on Chu Ge, recognizing that he was also a master of ancient martial arts. She could clearly feel from him a pursuit and obsession with ancient martial arts that was no less than her second brother’s.

Lost in her thoughts, Tang Xin became absentminded.

Beside her, Tang Youwei saw Tang Xin’s spirit as almost being hooked away, and he coughed awkwardly, saying, "Tang Xin, why hasn’t Shen Congwen arrived yet?"

Her thoughts snapped back at his words, her cheeks inexplicably turning red. She glared at Tang Youwei. Her big brother was definitely doing this on purpose.

Chu Ge also realized that Shen Congwen hadn’t shown up. He looked around puzzled, not seeing anyone else from the Shen Family. As he was about to look away, his gaze met with Lin Zhang’s.

Lin Zhang gave Chu Ge a disdainful look, "What are you staring at? Want to end up like them?"

Now, Lin Zhang was extremely inflated with his ego. Seeing Chu Ge looking somewhat unfamiliar, Lin Zhang thought of making an example out of him, partly to show off his strength, and partly as a warning to others.

Among those present, apart from the Tang Family that had a Sect relationship, no one else had such a background or power. With rumours suggesting that there could be a rift between Tang Family and Tang Sect, Lin Zhang also wanted to seize the chance to probe the truth.

Chu Ge gave him an indifferent glance. He couldn’t be bothered to guess his intentions and didn’t want to cause trouble here, so Chu Ge kept silent.

However, because of Chu Ge’s silence, Lin Zhang took it as a sign of his cowardice. Lin Zhang, slim and dressed in a flashy pink suit, looked even more contemptible.

He sauntered toward Chu Ge’s table, scanning his eyes over the group. When his gaze landed on Tang Xin and met her sharp eyes, even though he was a changed man now, he couldn’t help but shiver. He quickly averted his gaze, sweeping it over Shen Mimi without a second look - insignificant and unappealing.

Lastly, his gaze settled on Shen Yaoyao, touching his chin as he pondered, "I never noticed that Su City produced such beauties."

Shen Yaoyao glared at him, "I also didn’t realize that Su City was breeding scoundrels."

Lin Zhang was stunned, his face turning cold instantly, "You bitch, what did you say!"

Seeing that Chu Ge and Shen Yaoyao were together, Lin Zhang snorted contemptuously and patted Chu Ge’s shoulder, saying, "Kid, she’s your girl, right? Name your price, and let me have her for a couple of days."

Chu Ge’s brow furrowed, removing his hand, "Please show some respect."

His tone was icy cold.

Lin Zhang, however, failed to detect the anger in Chu Ge’s words. He thought that Chu Ge was scared by his previous behavior and now too timid to even get angry when his woman was being harassed. This made him even more arrogant.

"Girl, look at your boyfriend, what a chicken he’s turned into. Why don’t you come with me? I can offer you the high life," he taunted.

Shen Yaoyao had also been pampered from a young age and couldn’t stand this harassment. Shen Yaoyao turned hostile on the spot, "Get lost!"

Even with Lin Zhang’s new mastery of ancient martial arts, their Lin Family’s current status was still not comparable to her Xiao Shen Family. She wouldn’t pay him any attention.

"Ooh, a fiery one," Lin Zhang ogled at Shen Yaoyao with a lewd gaze, completely dismissing her anger.

Beside her, Tang Xin hummed lightly, "You haven’t even made it into the ranks of the great clans, and you’re already floating? If you actually made it into the ranks, wouldn’t you try to reach heaven?"

Even if Lin Zhang learned ancient martial arts, Tang Xin wasn’t afraid of him. After all, her Tang Family’s status was there. If he dared to touch her, her Tang Family would definitely not let Lin Zhang off, let alone the entire Lin Family.

Lin Zhang was somewhat intimidated by the Tang Family. Hearing Tang Xin’s remark, he said with some embarrassment, "Lady Tang Xin, they aren’t related to you, are they?"

Tang Xin slightly narrowed her eyes, scoffing lightly, "Not being related to me is your excuse for throwing a tantrum in my presence?"

"....." Lin Zhang was speechless. That wasn’t what he meant. "Lady Tang Xin misunderstood me. If you are related to them, then my mistake is akin to not recognizing Mount Tai. But if you aren’t..."

Lin Zhang paused, his implication clear – if they weren’t related, then she should not interfere. But he couldn’t say that outright. After hemming and hawing for a while, he still didn’t dare to speak those words.

Tang Xin understood what he meant. Pointing at Chu Ge, she said, "This Mr. Chu is an honored guest of our Tang Family, and this Miss Shen is Mr. Chu’s girlfriend. Do you think they are related to us?"

Lin Zhang only knew Shen Mimi and didn’t recognize Shen Yaoyao. It was normal not to know that she was the young mistress of the Xiao Shen Family, but even her identity as the young mistress was less important compared to being an honored guest of the Tang Family.

So, as soon as Tang Xin finished her words, Lin Zhang’s hand on Chu Ge’s shoulder suddenly didn’t know where to go. He paused, then slowly dropped his hand and said with a grin, "Well, I really didn’t recognize Mount Tai. Offending somebody important to Lady Tang Xin, I’m very sorry."

Lin Zhang was the type to bully the weak and fear the strong. Hearing that Chu Ge and the woman were honored guests of the Tang Family, he immediately chickened out.

The banquet was not over, and the negotiation hadn’t been finalized, so he didn’t dare to clash directly with Tang Xin and the others. With a servile smile, Lin Zhang flattered Tang Xin for a while before turning to leave.

But in his heart, Lin Zhang noted this down. Sooner or later, he would repay the humiliation he endured today.

After Lin Zhang left, Shen Yaoyao stamped her foot in frustration. That Lin Zhang, he didn’t even recognize who she was!

He was even so rude!

Shen Yaoyao hadn’t released her anger yet and turned her frustration to Chu Ge, saying rather irritably, "He was rude to me just now, why didn’t you help me?"

Chu Ge glanced at her, shaking his head, "He wouldn’t dare do anything to you."

His confident tone made Shen Yaoyao feel somewhat better, but still irritated, "How can you be sure he wouldn’t?"

"Because he doesn’t know your identity as the young mistress of the Shen Family. If you had revealed your identity, would he dare to offend you?"
