Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Zhao Xingrui’s Hongmen Banquet_1

"The Zhao Family’s Young Master of the Provincial City? Zhao Xingrui?"

It took Ning Fan a while to remember who that was, the Zhao Xingrui he had met yesterday at the hilltop villa. He said to the man in the suit, "Not interested, I won’t go."

"I’m just here to inform you. The address is..."

Having finished speaking, the man in the suit turned and walked away.

Ning Fan shook his head, not taking it seriously. He didn’t plan to attend this meal, but Baldy Qiang suggested, "Mr. Ning, I heard about it early this morning too. The Young Master from the Provincial City Zhao Family seems to have invited quite a few people for lunch, and most of them are the heads of some big families in River City, or very influential figures... Perhaps you should go after all? The Zhao Family is one of the top families in the Provincial City with a big influence. If you cultivate a good relationship with him, it might pave the way for Tianling Pharmaceutical to expand into the Provincial City in the future?"

"Me, get on good terms with Zhao Xingrui? That’s unlikely," Ning Fan said indifferently.

"How so, Mr. Ning...?" Baldy Qiang looked at Ning Fan, not understanding.

"Would you get along with your love rival?" Ning Fan asked.

"Cough cough... this..."

Baldy Qiang immediately became extremely embarrassed. How could he have known that Ning Fan and Zhao Xingrui had such a relationship?

"Mr. Ning, since Zhao Xingrui is this kind of rival to you and has personally sent someone to invite you to lunch, he must be up to no good. You shouldn’t go," Baldy Qiang hurriedly added.

"Up to no good?"

Ning Fan frowned slightly, Baldy Qiang’s words a reminder to him.

Yesterday at the hilltop villa, Zhao Xingrui had said something about wanting him to publicly announce his breakup with Xu Yourong before this morning, otherwise he would deal with him...

Now that Zhao Xingrui was inviting him to lunch, it must be a trap.

"Suddenly, I kind of want to go to this meal," Ning Fan said casually, then started to head out.

As for a trap, he had never been afraid of such things.

On the contrary, since he was already at odds with Zhao Xingrui, a clash was inevitable, a time to deal with the other party.

Better sooner than later—let it be today!

"Mr. Ning, this meal might be an ambush, I’ll go with you!" Baldy Qiang hastily shouted, following him.

...

In the city center, a five-star hotel, a luxurious banquet hall.

All the heads of River City’s biggest families, except for the transcendental Xu Family, the Zhous, the Wus, the Zhengs, the Wangs, had all arrived.

In addition, many prominent figures from River City’s high society were also present.

Even Li Wanshan, the real estate tycoon, had shown up.

It could be said that half of the most prestigious people in River City’s high society were there!

Early this morning, they had all received Zhao Xingrui’s invitation to attend this midday meal.

At this moment, Zhao Xingrui, the host of the meal, had yet to arrive, and everyone was excitedly discussing among themselves.

After all, River City was just a small city, and although these people were prominent in River City, they were nothing compared to the Provincial City Zhao Family.

In fact, they were all somewhat flattered to be invited to dinner by Zhao Xingrui today!

Soon, Zhao Xingrui walked in with a few people.

"Young Master Zhao!"

"Young Master Zhao!"

Everyone enthusiastically gathered around, eagerly trying to curry favor.

Zhao Xingrui just nodded slightly in response and then sat down in the main seat, glancing around before speaking with slight disappointment, "Oh? Ning Fan hasn’t arrived yet? Let’s wait a bit longer then, no rush to start the meal."

Zhao Xingrui’s words instantly surprised everyone. They exchanged looks and started whispering to each other.

"Who is this Ning Fan that Young Master Zhao mentioned? Waiting specifically for him to start the meal? Could it be that he’s some important figure?"

"Have you forgotten? Ning Fan is the boyfriend of the Xu Family’s Young Miss, isn’t he?"

"Now I remember, Ning Fan is the boyfriend of the Xu Family’s Young Miss! So, Young Master Zhao is this close with Ning Fan?"

Everyone was confused, completely misunderstanding the situation.

Seeing this, Li Wanshan also approached Zhao Xingrui and said with a smile, "Young Master Zhao, my name is Li Wanshan, and I have a pretty good relationship with Mr. Ning."

"Oh? You have a good relationship with Ning Fan? Hehe, why don’t you give Ning Fan a call then, and ask why he hasn’t arrived yet?" Zhao Xingrui glanced at Li Wanshan with a teasing smile.

"Alright."

Li Wanshan nodded, took out his phone, and dialed Ning Fan’s number.

As soon as the call connected, a ringtone sounded from the entrance of the banquet hall.

Then, Ning Fan entered with Baldy Qiang.

"Mr. Ning, you’ve come. Young Master Zhao has been waiting for you for a long time," Li Wanshan hurriedly hung up the phone and went to meet him.

Ning Fan glanced at him without saying anything, while Baldy Qiang couldn’t help but frown and said, "Li Wanshan, are you real buddy-buddy with Zhao Xingrui?"

"Baldy Qiang, what do you mean?" Li Wanshan asked, puzzled.

At that moment, Zhao Xingrui from the main seat looked over and spoke with a smirk, "Hehe, Ning Fan, oh Ning Fan, I thought you wouldn’t dare to come. I didn’t expect you to have the guts after all? You really came?"

"Didn’t you want to invite me to dinner? Of course, I had to come," Ning Fan replied calmly.

The conversation and expressions between the two were far from harmonious.

After a brief surprise, everyone in the banquet hall came to realize that Young Master Zhao and Ning Fan were not close, but enemies!

"So, Ning Fan, this is your last chance. In front of everyone here, announce that from today onwards, you Ning Fan are breaking up with Xu Yourong. Then, I will let you go," Zhao Xingrui said with a cold sneer, speaking from a position of superiority.
